@JaciP There's not another group working on this. The other chapter that was posted was stolen from NASS's drive before it was ready to be posted, presumably to spread drama. Hence the big difference in quality, and why all the comments on the stolen chapter had strong reactions.
@fuyuhakai Ruenti started off not liking Leslie because of her family name. After he learned that they liked the same philosopher he became as doting as the rest. I think Bethrion was just cautious?
