@Kannagumi There's a difference between "axed" and "short light novel adaptations that only exist to make people want to read the light novels to see the rest." It happens in anime adaptations of the novels (some studios are friggin' infamous for just doing one season even if it's successful) too sometimes. There are just times where they don't even want to bother adapting all that much of something, so they try to hook people and hey, potential novel customer made. I can't say for sure which case this one was, frankly I don't care enough to look into it. I'm not exactly falling all over myself to go look for the novel version either, this is as good a stopping point as any for this story. Possibly better than the actual end even, that could happen.
