Thus concludes the complete erosion of Kazuma's reputation among the nobility. It would be easy to feel bad for him if he wasn't just the worst in so many other ways. Some really funny moments this episode. I particularly enjoyed Aqua's drunken attempts to appear cool and intimidating when she was unbinding the others and protecting Iris. Kazuma's VA work when he was using Freeze was also fantastic.
About Thief Kazuma...when did he get so competent? I had assumed through that sequence that the mask had imbued Kazuma with some Vanir-like abilities, similar to how proficient Darkness was when she is being controlled by Vanir. However, it seems that isn't the case. Who knew that Kazuma could take on an opponent like Claire in a duel like that. I wasn't at all surprised when he used trickery on Mitsurugi though, that felt like pure Kazuma. As did his harassment of Chris. Something tells me that Eris will have words for him next time Kazuma dies.
Finally, Kazuma is going to have to readjust to life outside the capital, even if he doesn't like it. There was an ominous post-credit scene this episode in case you missed it hinting at what is to come.

Kazuma has a rather versatile skill set and is actually surprisingly competent when not being dragged down by his lazy sleazy bastard nature. That and he had a good teammate to actually work with rather than dragging along his usual group of mischief makers.
