Adaptation Differences

 * Ottilie Fohkelpi doesn't appear in the Web version of this story arc and is only mentioned.
 * Henrietta was technically an antagonist against Flum and her friends. In the Light Novel, she is more or less forced to be part of the Church of Origin.

Trivia

 * While it was a kiss on the cheek, this Volume marks the first time Milkit kisses Flum.
 * As of this Volume, everyone in the Hero Party is aware of what Jean had did to Flum. It also brings about the end of the Hero Party for its original intended purpose of traveling through the Demon territory to defeat the Demon King.
