I feel like they cut away from him getting stabbed too quickly like it was stab -> immediately into elf crash out like no resolution to why the beast girl is now on their side did she forgive Zagan did he heal himself nothing just a quick cut which is jarring
I understand people being confused for the sudden change from chapter 69 to 70, but this kind of jump happened in the light novel too. Think of it as, while Zagan was with Kuroka, Chastille kept fighting the chimera, and the novel skipped the part of Kuroka stepping aside to calm herself and then going to assist Chastille.
Kuroka is helping Chastille because she now understands that she isn't her enemy, that the one who "killed" Raphael was not her, but Zagan. Now that her grievance has been resolved somehow, she's back to her usual self and offers her help.
Kuroka will reunite with Raphael, so please be a little patient because they can't say in public that he's still alive. They don't want to put him into trouble.
@whosaint The TOS are functionally the same as they always have. Just now you have to actively acknowledge that you are the one liable as the uploader, when it was a tacit understanding before.
