"The hero of Ishtar, dungeon conqueror and possessor of an item equal to a holy sword: we'll get overshadowed"
"I don't think so"
This guy has rocks in his head. His being in denial over the worth of his achievements is already way past illogical at this point. They should actually be offended by how lightly he takes his achievements as if it's something any scrub can do.
Good to see Krum/Kurumu and her sister back, but the protagonist is being annoying again as usual. There are at maybe two candidates for a mage who can join them, but it clearly became Shino once he said "oddball". I was also thinking of Miiya, but then again, even though she left the hero's party she never actually got in touch with Lloyd unlike Lina.
