Yeah, Rieze only had a hunch that Shiroe wasn't there, but she didn't actually know until Akatsuki revealed it. Akatsuki and Nyanta stayed behind because if Shiroe took them, people would instantly know Shiroe was gone (especially Akatsuki, since everyone knows she's constantly by his side). Of course, Shiroe, being the brilliant guy he is, doesn't give this reasoning to her, so that's why most of her angst in volume 6 is about how Minori is better than her in Shiroe's eyes and that she's basically been set aside because she has no raid experience.

And since the volume is primarily told from Akatsuki's standpoint, we learn that Shiroe and Naotsugu are out.

I have never actually watched Elias' fight against Papus, despite going through the episode like, 3 times. Which girl was killed, the Chun-Li knockoff?
