those are just vestiges of his soul left behind in the stone, i reckon they probably won't be able to come out that often or assist much and will eventually move on or have whatever's left consumed completely
they'll probably do something about it and change the ending for the manga, the cancelation could be just for him to focus more on the manga and fix whatever shit he did in the novel lol
if i not remember it wrong, after this after this some sort negotiation against the kingdom , forgot about what kind negotiation happened but MC former dad get trashed by old man marshal, next should be Chris home visit, to meet current Yggdrasill followed by declaration of war from Kingdom and Empire respond with reverse invasion
Claune is actually 2-3 years older than the MC. If anything, her leaving her home behind and crushing on him is weird.
Yeah, now Ain will be the lolicon with Claune
