Ah, that feeling when all of your old friends start leaving the site ... I've felt that on Wikis where their shows ended their runs, and everyone developed other interests and went away ...

Well, it's always worth a try, right? Sometimes it's good to try something different.

Ah, I figured it was short for something. Your explanation was perfect, it makes sense. Also, you're right about Naotsugu dating. From volume 7:

"And Naotsugu would think about Maryele when he was with Tetora.

Her smile reminded him of Maryele.

The frequency was high, even when Tetora was not around.

He was not after the wonderful soft pressure. But even so, it was really troubling.

Life back on earth was much simpler. Naotsugu landed a job and his life was getting stable. He hadn't had a girlfriend for a while, so it wouldn't affect his future dating life. Although there were great aspects in the life of Adventurers, it seemed more unstable when he thought about things like that. Running amok. The feelings of Maryele were also important. On the flip side, it was not good to drag it too long, Naotsugu thought as he scratched his face."

Yeah, this is a post-canon series (although it diverges at volume 10), so their backstories remain the same. Rayneshia, naturally, intervenes and hopefully this will be a fight scene I'm more invested in. Although it'll probably be more words-words-words because Rayneshia and her side is basically dumping the plot and backstory.
