I think some it is he has become slightly detached from the day to day and doesn’t know all the people in his town anymore on a personal note like he did at the start when he could be on top of every health related event
little sis being like oh you think she is busted strong lol want to suffer several layers of psychic damage
the hunting 4 different s-rank species to extinction is a different level of brutal
I mean aesir is going to live for 1000 years pretty easily according to earlier chapters so he’ll be able to see another 6 gens probably more depends on how aging affects high elves
though I think when wynn or the girl from the elf union dies it’ll be rough
Part of the reason to go on this adventure was to fight on his own and not rely on the two angel girls (Mitsuki and kouki I think) so switching it up and just relying on different familiars feels like it defeats the point
Him having the fairies fight for him instead of the two girls isn’t really him fighting so the whole reason to be an adventurer for a bit seems like a farce like him fighting the horse was just him going pokemon on it and having nana fight
If they are able to just bust into the palace that easily now just kill the royals and end the war that way like there isnt really a reason to keep them alive just make that kingdom a vassal state and then most of the problems would be gone or reduced
This feels a little like an ass pull as they establish the curse as the only control thing in all the flash backs and now are like surprise there was another control on her as well like she almost killed her self so she didn’t have touch the prince previously
