I know that AnimeSuki had a summary of the side-story version of volume 9 (before the web novel was released). I don't know where it is.

I just replaced them with some really minor LH villains (Dread Pack, some of Marves' entourage in episode 24/25 of the first season). Might squeeze in Rasphuia and Sislau or someone else in, if possible.

Nope, it was in the light novel, too. Naotsugu says that he didn't want Tet sitting on his griffon even though he had a tandem seat, which prompts Tet to ask if he was saving it for someone special. Also, I think Tet's aware of Nao's relationship with Maryelle at this point, since Shiroe said something along the lines of "It's an important time for them, don't bother them too much" and Tet says "It's no fun without a little encouragement" (if I remember correctly).
