thanks for the update, I also noticed that thief girl and the shield knight girl might actually like the Oldman swordsman rather than the hero. is that mentioned in the LN?
I think they were feeling intimidated by the warrior girls dragonic aura rather than wanting something for themselves. Both girls may have some levels but they're basically ordinary people.
Bros, I'm losing hope with this one. 200 chapters with no development, while other works are either letting their mc's smash or get together with the girl they fancy. Author introduced too many girls
