Wasn't sure if this entire episode was going to be the full tournament or not, but the change half way helped break things up between action and story. Always good to see MCs lose in creative ways. Certainly seems to set up some interesting implications on the future if sides are being picked.
I kept forgetting to mention in the last couple episodes that vol 1 of the LN is available in the West now
I am glad with the way they split it up as well. It helps keep the different story lines fresh in our memories. The back half of this episode with the Merchant Guild was as infuriating as I remember from the web novel. Makoto did a good job keeping his cool. If I was an OP protagonist, I think it would be all too easy to just fall back on obliterating the city block to make the problem go away.
Ahaha, I can imagine people being unhappy about it. I always like to see MCs lose battles but win wars, especially when it's not about actual fighting. And this seems pretty realistic in a "your books don't work out" kind of IRL auditing you would expect. I guess the one thing is, with how insanely competent Shiki and crew seem to be, you'd think they would have already thought about this obvious flaw, but I guess you could also chalk it up to them not caring and knowing they could just pave all the capitals if they wanted to.
