This was a really good chapter. We got a lot of information and more questions to boot. First, it was soft confirmed that Shinohara likes the MC but she herself is unsure. This is a common theme the author uses - our main cast are really good at playing "more than friends but less than lovers" relationships without obviously crossing the line like other mangas with friends with benefits or contrived dates or "fake" going out. They are unsure of their feelings, but more they don't want to confess those feelings because it would "change" their current relationships. Ayaka, MC, and Shinohara are all in this boat. The MC is especially good at being himself around these girls where his "lack" of charm is actually his charm and the girls respond well to that. This is how he gets into these confusing relationships. This is seen with Ayaka, where he constantly denies he has romantic feelings for her to everyone but everything they do shows a typical romantic one. I bet this is what Reina will bring up to Shinohara to justify her "I wasn't really cheating" flashback in the next chapter. Speaking of Reina...
This chapter confirms she is an emotionally-abusive woman. First, she isolates the MC, and I mean, really isolates him. Sure, she doesn't want interruptions like with Ayaka but the author drew them taking several steps to be truly alone. With limited space for drawing, the author would not do this unless it was relevant to the story. This is a common tactic of abusers. They isolate their targets from their loved ones. Reina knew Shinohara was protecting MC and isolated them.
She was gaslighting him about "not cheating" and our MC didn't buy it. He cut her off and stated they were done and accepted it. She did not expect this. But she turned it around by hinting the relationship could've "changed" if only he did "something"; that "something" he already decided in their relationship even if there were special circumstances. My money is his friendship with Ayaka That was a neat trick. See what she did? She twisted his claim that "she cheated, it was real, she was selfish, we are done". She was guilty and he was innocent. But her questioning him if he really would've changed his mind if she truly had special circumstances casts doubt and puts the suspicion on him. Though she does not outright say what that "something" is and hides it behind the victim card, she knows what she is doing. This is why the MC is still confused at the end of it and in distress.
This was excellent character growth for the MC due to his friendships with Ayaka and Shinohara after the breakup. I'm sure if Reina could've gotten to him sooner, he would fallen for her trap hook, line, and sinker. But he got support and healing from women who truly care about him, so he was able to rebuff her. She still got something in, which will be the next personal conflict for him.

Part 2

When Kiska respawns, he encounters a physical projection of Ageha's consciousness at his starting point. In previous loops, he had searched for Ageha in vain. She is furious with him because he is trying to undo the reset, preventing the world from completely ceasing to exist. Since Kiska has to choose in a dialogue window whether he wants to continue each time he dies, she starts killing him immediately after every respawn. To further break his will and wear him down, she becomes increasingly cruel with each attempt. (At first, I thought this was Dark Ageha, but it seems to actually be the normal Ageha.)

Even after hundreds of attempts, when she still cannot break his will, she collapses, allowing Kiska to finally have a proper conversation with her. He tells her about the discrimination he faced in the village and thanks her for the Save & Reset skill, as it gives him the opportunity to achieve a future better than his past. This convinces Ageha to reverse the effects of Reset. To do so, they must ensure that past events unfold exactly as they originally should have.

Ageha advises Kiska to cooperate with Noct to free Ageha’s body from the hero Eligion’s sword. She was sealed there by the Chaosism Cult without Eligion’s knowledge. Ageha reveals to Kiska that Noct follows her orders. Noct also has silver hair and belongs to the same race as Kiska. In the original timeline, Noct and Ageha killed the remaining members of their group. Kiska deduces that this event was the origin of discrimination against people with silver hair. Ageha then breaks down in tears, realizing she is responsible for the discrimination Kiska has suffered. After he calms her down, Kiska tries to convince Ageha to spare Eligion and Nyau's lives. He argues their deaths are unnecessary, though in Nyau’s case, his personal feelings for her play a role—even though he knows she no longer remembers their shared past.

After that, Ageha is freed from the sword, Canaria and Gorgano are killed by her, and the Demon Lord is slain. However, deviating from their plan, she kills Noct to spare Kiska from a future of discrimination. Additionally, Kiska takes the magic item intended for the Demon Lord’s resurrection, hoping to use it to revive Namia. These events occur roughly the same way in each subsequent loop, though the events that follow vary.
Only three more loops take place for the remainder of the arc.

You see with greatswords that handle space above the crossguard is always preceded by a long grip below the cross guard so it can be two handed(hence the name zweihander) and then gabbed up there for more control at a shorter range. In this pile of scrap metals case, under the crossguard is another blade so you have to one hand the thing up there there is no two handing option.

As far as the shape of the blade. In a fantasy setting with magic and inhuman strength theres a level of that which i can let slide, but having it be one handed with that weight distribution just means you’ll be brutalizing your wrist with every swing, regardless of how strong you are.

With him being a dragon rider i can see this functioning similarly to a lance, but since its a sword meant for slaying dragons (it’s name is literally “The Dragonslayer Sword Balmung”) it wasn’t designed to be used that way anyways.

So i well be standing by my opinion of it just being a sharp pile of scrap metal.
