As we said in the DevLogs, this update DOES NOT continue the main plotline of Asterion and the MC. We are taking some time to work on the side content for the guest characters. Our goal is for all recruited guests to have "hanging out" scenes like Luke does, and later on they will have capstones to their arcs.
This update adds the hanging out scenes for Kota, which develop his character and conflict. It will also add a scene that follows the hangouts and reveals more about him.
When we do get to the main plot, the next chapter will involve sitting down with Argos to get the full picture of what happened, the MC and Asterion getting closer, Asterion and Oscar getting to know each other, and some plot revelations that will set up a conflict players will have to juggle going forward.
