Okay the dynamic between the Master and Aoi is fairly better this episode. There's a finally a show of vulnerability and there's more smidgen more emotion on their scenes, but that's basically meeting the bare minimum of romantic troupes for my taste, so this is just a matter of consistency at this point forward. I adore that Aoi's expansion of her menu involve expanding the world building of the Hidden Realm, but the designs isn't exactly breathtaking or anything.
