Arifureta - Episode 07

"Great Reisen Labyrinth" (ライセン大迷宮) is the seventh episode for Season One of the Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest anime adaptation. It aired in Japan on August 26, 2019.

Synopsis
Hajime, Yue, and Shea forge onwards, their next labyrinth in sight. However, the Liberator of this Labyrinth is quite the unusual character.

Summary
Hajime, Yue, and Shea are looking for the entrance of the labyrinth in Reisen Gorge. Shea finds it when she goes to look for a private area to do her business. When they are inside, the cutesy voice of Miledi Reisen greets them, bewildering the group. Shea trips and activates a trap that almost kills her. Unlike the first labyrinth, this one is filled with traps. Shea's ridiculous body-reinforcement magic ends up being extremely useful here, where external magic is reduced. After navigating a bunch of different trap rooms, all the while being taunted by Miledi's voice, the group ends up back at the starting area, much to their chagrin.

Back in Heiligh Kingdom, the class members that have not joined Kouki Amanogawa's party debate about their uselessness. Yuka makes up her mind to join Aiko and leaves the rest of the class to decide to accompany her.

Back to Hajime's group, they seem to have finally navigated to the doorway to the final room of the Great Reisen Labyrinth. Activating the room sends an army of autonomous armored suits after them. They easily make it through to the final room and come face-to-face with a construct that claims to be the real Miledi Reisen. Battle ensues after Hajime explains his goals. In the end, Shea deals the final blow. Miledi leaves them with a final warning about the gods of Tortus, stating that they will get in Hajime's way. The group departs for Miledi's chambers, where they meet... Miledi in a much more harmless form. The Ancient Magic that Miledi governs turns out to be Gravity Magic. She flushes them out with a trap. Shea faints when she comes face to Lehman. When they get out on the surface and Hajime sees Shea in the water and get her out of it, Hajime gives Shea CPR, which Shea promptly takes advantage of to kiss Hajime aggressively. Hajime forcibly removes Shea and throws her back in to the water and they head to town to find some proper lodgings.
