English Dub Review: Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence “Lawrence’s Concerns”

Overview

Abel comes down with a fever and Cecilia insists on looking after him. Lawrence feels a puzzling sense of unease. When he finds Cecilia sleeping near Abel, he speaks curtly to Cecilia and immediately regrets it. What could be making him act this way?

Our Take

This time around, we meet two new interesting characters in this episode, the fortune teller girl was cute and also surprisingly good at her job. And the blue-haired girl we met at the end was very cute as well named Haiselita. I’m curious as to why she’s looking for the Saint but I’m sure we’ll find out soon, too bad she didn’t realize the person she was seeking was right in front of her.

In a separate subplot, After accidentally ripping a bit of her saint robes, Cecilia was guided by a kind lady to the clothing shop (Lawrence used this as a good time to deliver the lost item, which was wise to do), where it turned into a heated debate in what outfit would look best on Cecilia. This short fashion show had Cecilia in many nice and cute outfits, but the one she ultimately ended up wearing at the end looked best on her.

Overall, I loved Cecilia’s dress-up bit even if it was an obligatory “montage” moment. Those women had some nice tastes but ended up clashing with each other, I also loved how carefree Abel was and how obvious he is about knowing how the lady Saint feels about Lawrence, and this new girl that has arrived seems interesting. Some level of progress is being made with Lawrence noticing Cecilia’s feelings, even if it’s in small doses. This episode also marked the first appearance of Haiselita who’s screen time here was short, but her interactions with Cecilia were pretty nice, especially after she saved Cecilia from falling down a potentially dangerous accident involving stairs. It makes me curious about what kind of role she’ll play in future storylines.
