And we finally meet Patrick! He's got it tough trying to keep Yumiella's behavior in check. She is just so quick with those monster calling flutes. But, he was able to show off some promising leadership skills that did not escape Yumiella's notice.

Speaking of monsters...that CG was rough. I try not to instantly label something that is CG as bad, but those wolf monsters were pretty bad. Here's hoping that the budget saved from that will go towards animation elsewhere. Yumiella is doing her part by minimizing the facial expressions that need to be animated.

Sadly no Eleanora this episode other than the ED (which has really grown on me). Something I noticed for the first time this episode is that the ED features more Yumiella than I thought. It's true that a huge majority of the lyrics are sung by Eleanora, but if you listen carefully with a decent pair of headphones, Yumiella is often singing harmony in the background. This is especially true in some of the choruses. The easiest point at which you can hear Yumiella singing harmony is near the end (1:17 in this video) where Yumiella is singing a descending harmony line while Eleanora is singing the ascending melody. I also looked it up and Yumiella has a lot more lyrics that she sings in the full version of the song.

Yeah those wolves were hard to look at. Though usually bad CGI like that just means there is a complete lack of budget rather than them saving it for something later. I think the only thing we can expect from the series later is more terrible CGI monsters. I'm glad action is not the hook of the show.

I didn't pay much attention to the ED before, but now that you pointed it out, it's really good. And it fits well both the characters' personalities and the voice actresses' comfort zone (Fairouz Ai/Yumiella has a noticeably deeper voice than Rina Hidaka/Eleonora).
