From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 4 recap
Titled "The Old Man Summons A Beast", the episode began with the anime showcasing the next phase of Grace (Kenzaboro) and Anna's studies - Magic. For now, they needed to perform a summoning. Anna called upon a Pegasus, one with the wind attribute. Essentially, these summonses were beasts that determined the magic one could use and drastically gave it a boost.
Miss Garnet (professor) then gave the class a crash course on the element attributes and a brief on how to use them. Just then, August and Virgile made an appearance, eager to see what the Student Council's newest members (Grace and Anna) would call upon. Virgile had a wind attribute Griffon and Auguste had a fire attribute Garuda, both rare species and quite powerful beasts.
Moving forward, it was Grace's (Kenzaboro) turn next. Here, a brief flashback reveals that summonings were done one month after enrollment, during which each student's egg resided in a safe space. Kenzaboro initially took this lightly, on the pretext of re-rolling, but fate had other plans.
Grace's (Kenzaboro) summoning briefly glimpsed his two selves before a pair of hands fused them, yielding an ancient dragon that was a legendary rare beast with both fire and water attributes.
The scene then transitioned to Kenzaboro's daughter, Hinako, a 20-year-old Otaku. She received news of her father's accident and rushed to the hospital. Both mother and daughter were informed of the situation and were hopeful that the old man would soon regain consciousness. When Hinako returned home, she noticed her game behaving oddly and figured out that Kenzaboro was trapped in it.
Upon conveying the same to her mother, the woman was incredibly understanding and supportive - such die-hard Otakus were the Tondabayashi family. Anyhow, Hinako was able to fully elaborate on the story of the otome game and brought her mother up to speed. This included the bit where the game was now progressing on its own, as Kenzaboro had lived it.
The next morning, Hinako reached the summoning stage (one month passed in game time). Here, she was asked by the game to "lend a hand" to Grace (Kenzaboro) for the summoning - Grace and Kenzaboro's mana combined would summon a beast. Thus, it was revealed that Hinako reached through the screen and fused the two manas to call upon the ancient dragon.
What to expect from From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 5
From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 5 should now expand on the magical aspect of the series, considering that beasts have finally been introduced. Given that Grace's (Kenzaboro) beast is a legendary rare type, its abilities will likely be on display in the next episode. As a villainess, her skillset is due to shine very soon now.
From outset, considering Hinako's official entry into the story, fans can also expect to see her influence it. This implies that similar to her "lending a hand" in the summoning, she should be capable of other such things. What these entail will be revealed with time, but Hinako and Kenzaboro's wife learning of his situation stirs situations up and adds an intriguing layer to the story.
