This series is starting to make me feel a bit drained... Although the beginning was quite good (because of the "moé" factor!), as time goes on, the slow-paced storyline becomes increasingly exhausting to watch... If the next 14 episodes continue in this manner, even if the final conclusion turns out to be spectacular, I doubt many people will have the patience to stick it out until the end. = = Of course, it's possible that the production team is using this storytelling style as an experiment or innovation. That is, gradually advancing the plot through various interactions and missions with NPCs, eventually revealing the truth—this seems to be the standard formula for many RPG games... Rookie → Accept Quest → Fight Monsters → Accept Quest → Fight Monsters → Accept Quest → Fight Monsters (repeat several times) → Battle Boss → Game Over = = Personally, I don't want the story to end like this. After all, the first two parts had relatively engaging plots, while the focus of this part seems to have been misinterpreted as just "moé" and "fanservice"...
