Chi-chan's house is probably on a leyline or something, so I'm sure they'll all have to go visit her at some point.
Those do sound pretty good theories based on the exceedingly little we know at the moment. Since neither Maou nor his henchman nor Hero can regain any magic, it would be strange if whoever followed them could without resorting to extraordinary methods. I'm still thinking Maou doesn't do nearly enough to remedy his situation (because he does nothing), and Ashiya only reading some general books on old Earth folklore, history, and whatnot is not going to help them overly much. If they are magical beings to begin with, they should have some innate sense to find external sources of mana if any exist. On the other hand, they seem to be so stupid that I doubt they could themselves devise ways to siphon it back from their own world. Maou apparently is a man who never bothered to learn anything by himself and probably just ordered his underlings to do stuff for him. Now that flaw is kicking him in the nuts.

I'm still not getting really well into this series. Ryll praises the foolishness is there to make this great comedy, but I haven't laughed once during these eps. The last portion of this episode was a bit better with the interaction between Maou and Hero, but all in all this is a failure as a comedy as well as far as I'm concerned.
