.... That is uber odd; where did that female party's proficiency go? When they were first introduced (Chp 2), they tried to defend a, seemingly, young girl, and even tried protecting him when they figured the girl was a demon. Now, here (Chp 6) they just seem incompetent, and are trying to get attention from him. That's an almost 180 shift.... or is it due to how it's a game world? Eg. People are more competent before they join your party, in which case, they become support only.
