Episode 16

Good thing MPC-HC has the (common) functionality of jumping 5 seconds forward by pressing the right arrow. Because I used that functionality quite a few times during the beginning of this episode. I have no idea why they must insert that blather in these episodes. Flashbacks can be tedious, even if they weren't purposefully made so, because they stop the progress of the actual story. Ryuu is a popular character, so I don't believe those boring segments are needed to make people care for her.

Anyway, it seems like Welf's previous magic weapons might have been somewhat inferior in quality/materials, even if not in power. Still, this new one does need mana from the user. Who knows how it all works.

It was kind of surprising how distasteful both Ryuu and Bell found taking stuff from the cadavers. At least I finally did get my answer to the question of why they didn't check them before. Maybe there's some sense to it, seeing how the adventurers are all basically colleagues, all of them raiding that one dungeon regularly. There would automatically be some respect among them, at least in death. It's a job that may kill them at any time, and they all know it. But still, in that super desperate situation, Bell's hesitation was too strong. He's still wet behind the ears. He got a little bit of Ryuu fanservice out of it, though, to relieve his pain.
