Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru Season 2 • As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 2 – Episode 2 discussion

I like how [Charlotte is just sleeping while everyone else is busy discussing strategy](https://imgur.com/7ZvE0sw).

Liscia took full advantage of the idiot Lenge and came out on top against Shakma

wonder how she paid 500+ gold coins for the jewelries and clothing

Ars learns that honesty is sometimes not the best policy.

Wonder if those fishermen will make another appearance later this season.

Licia is more than ready to earn her status as Ars’ wife and prove it by succeeding at negotiations with Minister Shakma! She’s so prepared that she knows they’ll need some adult supervision in Lord Lumiere and she’s even winning over the person most against her marriage to Ars in Charlotte. She cannot be defeated.

The OP is pretty action-packed and epic! Featuring Ars and his retainers in war and battling it out with Vasmarque’s forces, as well as some new characters and Ars and Licia handholding!

Nice to see Pham earning his pay by giving Ars the deets on Vasmarque obtaining a new ally! It seems like they’re right on the cusp of being invaded by a pincer attack, but Licia knows the political layout enough to know they’ve still got a chance of turning things around! Especially thanks to all the diplomacy books she’s read to be the best wife she can be for Ars! All the better when they’re flirting in the carriage ride! They’re even flirting in front of Lord Couran!

Rengue, Lord Couran’s Eldest Son! He’s a bit of a carefree goofball who has a big mouth and no drive, but he has a bunch of latent potential just waiting to be realized! Even if before that he’s going to basically force himself into the political negotiations whether they want him there or not.

The only thing sweeter than Charlotte picking up souveniers at the port for her orphan kids is Ars buying Licia a cute pin in lieu of a wedding ring.

I see Charlotte has a strong stomach to the point of being the only one not to get seasick. I love how the prince is the first person to puke.

Oh, of course these people drifting by sea are pirates, one of them literally has an eyepatch! Though they sure picked the worst hostage in Charlotte. But they’re not really pirates, just fishermen struggling under the empire and desperate for money from their families. And Ars being Ars sees potential in them to the point of gifting them enough to take care of themselves. And knowing Ars, this will probably be paid back to him in a big way.

Licia is really dressing for success in that fabulous and fancy blue dress that shows off her legs!

Dang, the empires’ income inequality problem is pretty bad. No wonder those fishermen were struggling.

Minister Shakma is voiced by Koji Yusa so that means you have to be really careful how far you trust him.

Licia knows how to haggle and pull out the waterworks when necessary! She even manages to properly bargain with Shakma! It would’ve succeeded too had Rengue been able to keep his mouth shut and not blab about how much capital they actually had. Like, come ON dude, even Ars knows better than that.

But Licia being Licia knows how to salvage ANY negotiation, even if it means stripping and selling off her clothes right and then and there. And it actually works! Even when Rengue says that they don’t care about the empire at all and will break off and go independent! And Licia apparently planned for EVERYTHING!

As great as Licia is, I do worry for her tbh. Being a young girl and such a setting usually is sexist af. Least others will be with her. Hehe Charlotte being silly. Unsure if jealousy or just big sis protector kinda thing. Yes, truly a great guard… passed out lol. Oh my, that’s some big worying news from Pham. Do wonder what they are gonna offer that other province though. I forget if that was mentioned.

The future possible governor or whatever dude sure seems nice. Also, did the marriage happen and we missed it BOO!!! This wouldn’t fly in Otome Isekai! Hehe. Oh my, what did Ars see of his stats with his magic eye. Wait, he knows of his eye? I forgot about that. Good to hear the son has potential, hopefully he is a good boy. Dang Ars and Licia cute.

Suspicious people in water, yep. Also, they sure chose the wrong person for the hostage. Least that didn’t drag out. Oh good, they weren’t pirates, but wew… what a good boy Ars and a good lesson for the eldest son. Man, that city is ripe for some French influence. Wew Licia new outfit, cute/perdy.

Eldest son sure needs to tone it down a notch. Greedy douche. Licia definitely understands the point of bargaining at least of starting lower than the real offer and potential. Still, do hope for some later punishment for that guy. Oh my god you dumbass eldest son. What is Licia planning…why… coulda just offered it and not had her strip… wtf series. I still hope this prime minister gets beheaded. And that eldest son is truly a dumb fuck. Still, Licia is clever.

Oh my fucking god, please tell me I’m not the only one who wanted to strangle Rengue? [The moment he stowed away on that trip](https://i.imgur.com/u0J1WRz.jpeg), I knew he was going to cause trouble during the negotiations. [Like what the fuck! Just shut up you idiot!](https://i.imgur.com/TlMJ1RA.jpeg) Thank goodness Licia actually [planned around Rengue ruining everything.](https://i.imgur.com/q3Civ2p.jpeg)

And just to make matters worse, we learn that [Rengue has plans to seek independence.](https://i.imgur.com/sj1l1bY.jpeg) Bro… Can someone tie and gag him until they get back to Couran? This dude is in dire need of attitude adjustment. Also, he can’t even be bothered to properly learn Ars’ name. I really need to see this kid humbled.

Was there a wedding scene they skipped? All we’ve had is the MC suggesting they should get married right now, but there was no follow up wedding.

Also that prince should’ve been thrown off of the boat with a rock. No one would miss him.

Can they assassinate Rengue on the way back from the capital? Or is that a no go?

jesus that was frustrating.

Here is an excerpt from a Kipling poem that I feel is relevant to Licia.

    But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame
    Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;
    And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
    The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.

Poor Ais. He can’t even get the new kid to pronounce his name correctly then gets that same kid to go 1000% dumbass and “tank” the negotiations. I quoted tank because it looks like it went according to Licia’s plan.

I honestly haven’t seen such an initial asshole-ish intro of a character in a while. I really just hate that kid and wish he fell over the side of the ship while puking 😁

It looks like the negotiation ball is rolling in the right direction at the end. I was worried Licia was going to do something unexpected after the meeting in the hall but I should know better, this main cast is made up of the best of the best so that should alleviate any worries about things going bad, or at least sideways.

I’m happy they are moving things along at a brisk pace while fleshing out the characters unique traits when needed. You have to love Charlotte’s mini human torch moment on the boat. I figured she’d just flamethrower the “pirates”.

Overall it was a solid episode and I’ll give it a 7.5/10.

Man the way I was so ready to throw my remote at the tv when Lange dumbass opened his big ass mouth there.. really thought he had ruined negotiations with the emperor faction, but somehow my goat Licia took even that into account when planning hence the expensive dress she could leverage. That dude really needs to stfu though, he’s such an entitled weirdo. Good episode overall though, the OP is way more metal than I’d expect for this show lol.

Honestly though, if Ars can form a relationship with Lange and bring out his latent potential that would be the best addition to his squad. Having a future lord as a friend would be massive. I kinda get flashbacks to Boruto when boruto became friends with the future mizukage. Similar rocky start to their relationship.

Charlotte, my beloved! Glad they brought her along on this trip. Maybe she’ll finally accept Licia and Ars marriage after this lmao. But the fact those bandits tried holding her of all people hostage really killed me. Poor choice 😂

Licia just continues to be one of my fave female fantasy characters. So bad ass and always has a plan, a backup plan and a way to play people like a fiddle. She’s not just a pretty face but a real badass. Love her

Dude has to be 5head cause I refuse to believe the author thought writing a idiot like this was realistic, there’s stupid and then there’s this
