    Why does it matter that Sylphie is CURRENTLY not the utmost exciting character? That doesn't mean anything should be cut or rewritten, holy shit. Sometimes I want to play Harvest Moon.
    Because she's one of the main heroines...except she might as well be a tertiary support character.

    Hypothetically, take her completely out of the story after the teleport incident and resolve the ED arc with Roxy in THIS arc.

    Does a lack of Sylphie change the narrative? Not one bit. That means she presently serves no purpose in the narrative.

    Ariel is going to call Rudeus. Not Sylphie, she's done in the story. Arguably, the only reason Sylphie even needed to come back into the story was to serve as a lazy plot bridge to connect Rudeus with Ariel. Which his cousin does anyway. She's redundant. The fact that she's very boring and obedient means there's no means for her to change the dynamics within the series.

    Would not seeing Roxy again change the narrative? (unless you consider the potential cheating of Rudy's on Sylphie with her "narrative") She could have never appeared again and the main plot would have progressed the same. Instead of Roxy, Rudy's dad would have hired someone else and still called Rudy for help eventually, leading to the rescuing of Zenith.

    Heck, Sylphie being an elf has the potential for some important future development, imagine Rudy entering an elfen society and everyone's hostile to humans, but then Sylphie appears and is like "yo guys, this is my hubby, pls be nice"

    Tbh it feels like you just don't like parts of the plot and instead of admitting that, you try to create general rules that justify your dislike, when there's really nothing wrong with Sylphie and what happened wth her. Anyway, new episode out!

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    First off, she's 1/4, so absolutely nothing. Elinalise is a full elf, and despite the fact that she's her grandmother, Rudeus met her independently and would have known Elinalise through both Paul and Roxy.

    And secondly, your lack of self-awareness could not be funnier.
