mc has the most side character ass goal ever lol
We could follow the church loli like a new protag at this point, and eventually come to a crossroads where he's set up a whole new culinary string with rare monster crap and helps church loli complete a goal or summn. Fr, we're just following the plot of a side character rn lol.
But serious talk here, church loli's intro and actions and all that jazz, if the story oriented more towards her, could 100% be the protagonist at this point. At the end of her rope after a church mission gone awry, saved by two strangers of mysterious origins, they have a special set of useful skills, help them survive until they can get moving, then split off with them and go her own way.
Seriously, badlands culinary stuff sounds... okay, but church missions could range from "Spy on heretics" to "Defeat monster" and perhaps even "Political espionage that could decide the fate of multiple countries". Big monsters being turned into food can probably only go so far, Church loli has all the ambiguous story potential.
Then again miss fairy has an established backstory and proper goal now, but wither which way, the pov of this story is way better in the hands of one of our not-so-supporting characters lmfao
