**Story Summary from MAL:** “Dias finally returns home after decades of war. He’s hailed a hero and promptly rewarded with his own domain…which turns out to be little more than empty plains. Population: zero. Dias, who has only ever known battle, finds himself at a loss. How is he supposed to survive, let alone cultivate his territory into a thriving, prosperous dominion when there’s nothing but grass as far as he can see? Fortunately for Dias, a horned girl by the name of Alna is about to show him there’s more to the plains than meets the eye!” I have been reading the manga and novels of this one for a while now, and was glad to see an anime adaptation in the works. At the same time, I had a feeling this would be another non-isekai fantasy series that might fly under the radar of many, and that did indeed prove to be the case. In any event, here is ep 09! Home stretch here, and just a few more things to put in order. Thanks for being patient with us! ^^ For now nothing planned in the autumn 2026 season other than continuing to try and chip away at Pass the Monster Meat Milady, but hey - who knows?
