Hm, looking at how it's supposed to end in five chapters I'm not sure how axed this might be or if it's just supposed to end when they go off fighting, because I'm sure the next chapter is going to be the same thing like this one was except with the black haired girl and probably even the chapter after that with the Cleric where the truth will likely end up being revealed too before they head out. Either that or they'll just keep it all under wraps and cliffhang.
