Madome - Episode 2

In the second episode of "Madome," Zagan spends a restless night and worries about Nephy's well-being! As dawn breaks, their day begins with an awkward exchange of pleasantries and a modest breakfast. The episode, aptly titled 'First Love with Social Anxiety Tastes Like Moldy Bread,' explores Zagan's personal struggles with entering a relationship, triggered by his growing affection for Nephy! :D

During breakfast, Nephy's humble appreciation for the meal—despite its simplicity—sheds light on the hardships of her former life. Inspired by her eagerness to improve her dining experiences, Zagan suggests a joint shopping trip. In doing so, he unintentionally reveals his financial worries and his inexperience with everyday tasks. Their outing takes an unexpected turn when they encounter robbers attacking a carriage. The fact that Zagan effortlessly defeats the assailants not only astonishes Nephy but also earns him the gratitude of the other travelers. This not only showcases his magical abilities but also his incredible strength.

As they continue their shopping, Zagan's awkward attempts at interaction further highlight his unfamiliarity with common social etiquette. This journey isn't just about acquiring necessities for Nephy but also about Zagan stepping out of his comfort zone to improve her quality of life beyond mere survival. By evening, Zagan contemplates removing Nephy's collar—the symbol of her enslavement—to see her as an equal rather than a prisoner. This line of thought reveals his fear of losing her once she's free!

The episode culminates in a shared meal, symbolizing a moment of connection between Zagan and Nephy.
