Why Now, Ares?
So, why is Ares suddenly gracing Red's little shop with his presence? It turns out the demon lord's army is getting a serious power-up. The heroes are scrambling, and they need Red's strategic brilliance, even if he's supposedly "just" living the quiet life.
The funny part is, Ares expects Red to just drop everything and rejoin the party. He doesn't seem to grasp the concept that Red actually enjoys his peaceful existence. There's a hilarious disconnect between Ares's urgent plea and Red's serene demeanor.
Imagine someone asking you to go back to your old stressful job, promising it's "for the greater good." Yeah, not exactly enticing, is it?
Love and Loyalty
Of course, Red isn't the only one with a stake in this decision. Ruti, the Hero and his little sister, also factors into things. Her well-being has always been a central concern for Red.
The episode touches upon the complexities of sibling bonds and the sacrifices we make for family. It's more than just fighting demons; it's about protecting the people you love.
More Than Just a Fight
What really stands out in this episode is the exploration of Red's newfound happiness. He's found contentment in simplicity, something he never experienced as a hero. Leaving that behind wouldn’t be easy.
He's built a life with Rit, full of genuine affection and everyday joys. You see them genuinely caring for each other, and suddenly the world-saving stuff feels a little less important.
This episode asks a compelling question: what's worth fighting for? Is it glory and duty, or is it love and happiness?
The Cliffhanger!
Naturally, the episode ends on a cliffhanger. Will Red return to the hero's party? Will he choose his old life over his new one? We're left hanging, eager to see what decision he makes.
Honestly, who wouldn't be invested in seeing how this all plays out? It's a delightful mix of fantasy adventure and slice-of-life charm.
One thing's for sure: Red's quiet life just got a whole lot more complicated.
