Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo! Episode 7

Note: A bit of site news ahead. I will be dropping Happiness! officially from any form of blogging because I have too many series to review. Eventually, I will reduce the anime that I will be regularly blogging to 5 or so. The guaranteed keepers are Red Garden, Mamoru, Bokura ga Ita and Asatte no Houkou. I am still not sure for Ghost hunt and Yamato because Ghost hunt will take a big chunk out of me and Yamato is no longer exciting whatsoever. Saiunkoku Monogatari and Otoboku will take a backseat but they will be blogged as well still, just much slower and that Otoboku will turn to a parody post.

Blatant loli fanservice. Do I mind? Hmmm….I don’t know.

(darn, i am starting to sound more and more suspicious)

I finally understood what it meant when Lupus said it was so tempting to blog….It is, dammit. I actually wanted to take a hiatus but blogging seems to give the impetus for distraction. Here I am supposing to be studying but eventually, due to the fact that I realize that the exam is an open book test, I gave up bothering. Anyway, without any more before thoughts, jumping straight to the summary + thoughts!

Episode summary

We had the president talking to Mamoru’s sister and telling her not to worry too much. She was still concerned how she had trampled on Mamoru’s gift. As Mamoru finally found Ayako, she was in fact busy and sleepy for the past few days because she was trying to make a sweater which she learnt from Shione. Mamoru was very touched that Ayako was trying so hard to make him presents while he was only worrying. However, the loving scene was disturbed by a snow hail made by Eme-chan.

As Ayako blocked the attack, Eme-chan appeared, only to fall head first into the snow, with her panties falling. As Ayako attacked her with an attack while she was trapped, she retaliated by swinging a sword to attack Ayako. However, Ayako blocked it with her two hands, as Eme-chan said that all her admiration for the Beatrix witch that had fought courageously with her brother was misplaced. She also added how Ayako’s strength was now hampered by Mamoru. Eme-chan then added that she expected Ayako to be a spinster all her life, to not rely on Mamoru so that she stayed as strong as she did the past year when her brother fought Ayako in Germany.

Ayako got really angry over what was said, especially associating her as being lonely forever and eventually concentrated her energies and attacked. However, Mamoru was left open and the two lackeys of Eme-chan caught him. Ayako was worried and said that Eme-chan was a coward in not fighting one on one and using Mamoru. Eme-chan then said how much Ayako had degraded and she “love-love” her a lot (she meant to say admire but her lackeys told her that it was something else).

The two lackeys then threatened to cut Mamoru’s throat as Ayako rushed forward, only to be knocked unconscious by Eme-chan. She then called the two lackeys to release Mamoru, saying that Ayako was so weak now that she was not worth the test. Mamoru rushed over to Ayako and suddenly released a great amount of Beatrix energy, revitalizing her as Ayako immediately went on her task to kick the hell out of Eme-chan’s butt. Eventually, it turned to a competition of Eme-chan’s brother being better and Mamoru being kinder (aka petty fight). The end of the fight turned into some crazy ice fight where Ayako eventually blasted the whole area up because she was annoyed at how Mamoru was compared to be weaker than Eme-chan’s narcissistic brother.

As they returned back to the base, everyone had cleared the path created by the snow hail. Mamoru then went to the bath, only to meet with Eme-chan. Eme-chan then admitted that she was always an admirer of Ayako and wanted to know more. She also pinched Mamoru to see if his cheeks were pinchable as Ayako had said it was during the fight. She then admitted that she was probably the one who trampled on his gift and offered to restore it using Beatrix. He then jumped for joy, with his naked body faced frontal right toward Eme-chan. She then blushed her head off.

Mamoru eventually got the gift to Ayako as Mamoru’s sister was delighted. We then saw Eme-chan and her two lackeys waiting for a hitch as she said it was in fact Mamoru’s Beatrix which had restored the gift. The last cut scene had Preussen talking about waiting for Ayako to be mature so that he can marry her. That was also the message that Eme-chan came to give Ayako.

Thoughts

One thing is for sure. Mamoru is not your stereotypical weakling shouta. He possess great Beatrix energy that can support Ayako but unlike her, he is unable to wield it until he is triggered to by stress or any harm caused to Ayako. The fact that he can literally cast a huge sphere of brilliant restorative energy to revive Ayako who was knocked unconscious for at least two hours. He is however very weak without Ayako or during a normal state of mind. For now, it is probably a latent energy that can be tapped on during danger.

Eme-chan is currently trying to steal away the show from Ayako. We have first the mega blushing and mega violent Ayako, an extreme version of a tsundere. However, Eme-chan is the classic serious loli, with a side dish of being totally cute blushing. I mean, this fulfills the part where you like her to be cool yet still have some weaknesses.

I swear if Eme-chan is to chase Mamoru, Mamoru will have a very tough job of fending her off. I mean, I will personally have no idea who to choose. A megadere or a serious blushing loli. Oh god, Mamoru has all the good stuff for him. The fact that he has a moe~ sister that will not hesitate to come in completely naked to tempt him is also hot. That lucky bastard.

Preussen’s appearance meant that there is a possibility of the antagonist of this series to appear sometime in the future. I do not perceive him to appear in front of Ayako to steal her away from Mamoru for the next two or three episodes, since this is a 24 part series show rather than 13.

I am really enjoying the relationship between Ayako and Mamoru though. There is still some strong doubts and insecurity with Mamoru, plus the fact that Ayako is still quite poor in personal relationship with people. There will surely be a time when there is strong conflict between the two but the trust will pull them through, i swear. The faith in them has protected them twice already and they are even acknowledged by Eme-chan who came over to pass the message of Preussen waiting for Ayako to be his bride.

-_- and due to the fact that there is technically no episode preview, let’s see what next week is all about.
