I'm disgusted that the end of the episode, and certainly the preview, is hinting at a love triangle (of sorts) developing between Shiroe and Akatsuki and Minori. I already hate Minori, not need to help it!

It is far more likely she is of the elf clan that cursed the world originally. They even gave you an appropriate flashback of the story so you could see the similarities in her hair and general proportions.

@MFauli: Nyanta is a true gentleman. There's no chance between him and Serara because he's not a creepy pedo, but he is precisely the type of person that would escort a young lady at social events.
