In a way, Rudys story is over.
Hes struggled and wallowed in pain and anguish and failure, but now hes happier than hes ever been.
He has a wife and a beautiful home.

He has friends and allies beyond count.
The only thing missing from an otherwise ideal life is for him to be reunited with his family.
In turn, Paul can rest assured his daughters will be safe as he seeks his wife.

All the way on the other end of the Isekai Life Enjoyment Spectrum is Nonohashi Shizuka.
She is seeking a way back to her and Rudys world.
She is seeking it, all her thought and time is dedicated to it.

Shizuka quietly retreats to her desk, puts her head in her hand, and sighs with resignation.
With Zanobas help, Rudy takes Shizuka to his house where Sylphy examines and heals her.
She is utterly lost and devoid of hope.

the time he too lost heart and closed himself off.
Its here where we see the true growth that Rudy has experienced since reuniting with and marrying Sylphy.
Forget restoring his sexual vigor; those events also made him a more empathetic person.

Shizuka is in deep, deep pain and despair.
Rudy has experienced similar pain and despair in his past.
Rudy doesnt want Shizuka to suffer, so he does everything in his power to help her.

Fortunately, he has plenty of power, like the power of friends.
It all boils down to the doll usingmultilayeredmagical circles in its operation.
Cliff, Zanoba, and Rudy work to adapt this concept to a summoning circle.

With his friends help he picked her up, dusted her off, and showed her a new road.
With the 3D circle a success, all thats left is to celebrate.
Shizuka even does some celebratory karaoke with a wooden spoon.

Hes paying forward the kindness shown to him when he hit rock bottom.
Aisha loves her big brother, but Norn is still hesitant.
Well see if that changes once she sees how Rudy has matured since they last saw each other.

But thats just a teaser for the next episode.
I cannot overstate how powerful this episode was.
Rudy did that, but he didnt do it alone.
