I May Be a Guild Receptionist episode 7 recap

Expand Tweet

I May Be a Guild Receptionist episode 7 began with the Guildmaster meeting with someone named Jessica, who gave him a book with a secret quest in it. Glen then looked at a statue of a young boy while saying it had been 15 years as focus shifted to the Centennial Festival starting. Alina and Jade began their date immediately as focus shifted to Lululee. She visited the guild’s prison with Lowe, wanting to see her old teammate Aiden again.

She also implied to herself that she intended to leave the Silver Sword due to considering herself a liability. She then apologized to Aiden, but he was so deranged he didn’t even hear or understand her words. He was then freed by the silver haired adventurer seen with Aiden during his introduction, who also warned of trouble brewing at the festival. Focus then shifted to Alina and Jade, whose date was going well until the aforementioned trouble showed up.

Alina likewise showed no mercy due to its impact on the Festival before accepting the secret quest from earlier in front of Lowe and Lululee, likewise involving the Silver Sword. Alina decided to help them and abandon the Festival’s first night. They then headed to the Mossy Rock Lake, where Aiden’s party leader was killed by the Dark God. The episode ended with the new Dark God appearing as two linked bodies and Alina struggling to do damage.

What to expect from I May Be a Guild Receptionist episode 8 (speculative)

I May Be a Guild Receptionist episode 8 is all but guaranteed to open up with a continued focus on Alina and the Silver Sword’s struggle against the new Dark God. Likewise, with Alina seemingly unable to do damage, fans can expect to see her and her allies take some major hits throughout the first part of the next episode.

Episode 8 should eventually see the group find a way to become successful, likely via someone other than Alina acquiring a Dia skill. This would also make sense for how heavily discussed the rumor of acquiring a Dia skill has been in recent episodes. The installment likewise should end with Alina and whoever ends up acquiring this Dia skill at least doing damage to the Dark God, if not fully defeating it.
