Rudy teases Tohya about "Dariella," but Tohya brushes it off even though he probably did have a small one before noticing that she was hiding something out of pain.

Yeah, I'm curious about that "ancient treaty" that Kinjo mentioned. I don't really remember that being in the light novel (at least, not the specific phrase), but we haven't gotten much information about that at all. It's likely something to do with why the Kunie now manage the Alv's technology, and from there, why they're so secretive: nobody liked the Alvs, and most of them to this day detest and distrust the Half-Alvs. So having a Half-Alv clan running Alv technology is not going to garner a lot of positive reviews from the Lander population.

Makes sense with the EXP Pots, since I didn't watch episode 19 (or a majority of the volume 8 arc since none of it is terribly riveting to me, and my workload got stockpiled during that time so I couldn't afford the time). Eins would probably betray the Round Table because Minami has claimed to have found a way home all the way back during the Libra Festival. By the time season 2 starts, that's already around a month past, and the Round Table presumably doesn't start discussing viable ways of figuring out how to get home until even after that, maybe around volume 8, in February (four months later). Nureha might not have proof that the people she's blacklisting from the Cathedral actually are returning home, but at least they've produced results of people not returning to (their) Cathedral.

Indicus doesn't need friends, she just has pawns. Like Nureha and Kazuhiko ... although they're starting to bite back. If but a bit slowly.

I think the issue about the festivals is that if people are down in the dumps already, having people saying "hey go have fun!" feels like a giant "screw you" instead of a reassurance. Some of them might take it as a "take that, we can waste time having parties instead of trying to find a way back to our friends and family out of ET". As you said, there's really no other option than to tough it out and hope that answers come quickly. One of Shiroe's main concerns might be if someone snaps, and takes it out on the Landers. Adventurers are superhumans in this world. If their name's not Mizufa, they're probably not going to last too long. Odyssea is dangerous enough without even actively targeting Landers, but inferring that someone will go the safer route when they begin losing it isn't a smart thing to infer.

Pretty sure the Transport Gates also have a connection, because Minami had also reactivated theirs by the time of the Libra Festival, when she told Shiroe that they might have found a way home.
