Well ... the adventure is kind a over as of this point.
I dunno why there has to be even more convoluted plot devices thrown in.
We lost the princess, we have barely any character progression.
As soon as MC filled the barn the home mission was over.
Next up, getting fighting lessons for whatever reason,
becaue the minute we have the mission with the fine looking woman in the nearby village,
nothing could compete with that.
That was the best example we can have conflict and MC can win his women over.
Just .. not the women the game wants MC to pursue.
His hottie from the store is just hiding out back when she is fooling around with MC.
Where is the grown up in there?
The hottie MC knows since for eva gets left behind by plot.
This game works as adventure series, but the kind where we prove ourselves to the ladies,
not the kind a convoluted mess where finding the actual goal/scope/desire to go on gets lost
in all these weeds.
