Healer Girl Episode 7: Healers’ Festival

The traditional school festival episode.

Shoko’s reaction when they found out Kana’s class cafe used packaged goods and not freshly cooked. She had some excellent faces this episode.

Best parts of this scene wasn’t Sonia boasting about her great Russian cuisine (Though Hibiki helped they did cook the dishes so she’s a point) but Reimi standing perfectly still with her disdained expression and then there’s Kana again saying Sonia’s at her best when she’s egotistical. To remind viewers she’s a good girl at heart Sonia took great care of the patients last episode who she primarily cooked for. Also Hibiki and Reimi helped serve meals for Kana’s sake. Reimi sacrificed precious time with her beloved mistress to do so but it’s the right call. Some hope it’s because Kana’s her “Plan B” if you know what I mean.

Soon enough Kana’s homies came to help at the booth too. It’s only fair since Kana worked so hard to help everyone. Sonia got to chill too and was ready to conquer the festival competition though soon realized it wasn’t that kind of festival. Instead she’d compete to have the most fun.

She went a bit overboard and was taken to the nurse’s office. There they found the seitokaichou who’s in a pinch. Basically there’s a planned surprise band performing in the main event of the school theater but they had an accident and couldn’t make it. She recalled Kana and Sonia were vocal healers and asked them to take their place. They agreed but quickly remembered to ask which of them could play instruments. Everyone but Kana could. There’s one spot missing.

Take a wild guess how they lured Reimi in. She joined too. What surprised everyone was Sonia letting Kana sing lead vocal. Sonia accepted their surprise as praise but actually had a funny reason why she did so. The prez wanted one extra spice so Reimi suggested Mistress Ria be the big surprise singer. Kana showed disappointment, which Reimi noticed. Fortunately for our lovable redhead the mistress believed in our heroines to surprise everyone. After practice Kana suddenly passed out. Fortunately it wasn’t cause for alarm. She just needed a nap.

The original plan was for everyone to wear cat maid outfits but Sonia had another surprise for Kana once she woke up. No time for questions as it’s almost showtime!

Love Live! have great songs no doubt but for my money the Healer Girl soundtrack is the best of Spring 2022. Speaking of it’s interesting they switched the OP and ED with the ED playing in the intro and the OP in the credits. Makes sense as it was the second song they sang.

The episode ended with a certain maid watching her dear ojou-sama from a distance. That’s right Sir Nickolas. SHE’s finally getting the spotlight next time! Good stuff as always.
