Just watched 11; funny that the pain isn't healed when he punches... that could have been a truely edgelord development; you can torture someone forever or until they go crazy because the only damage is purely mental. I guess there's still the chance that could happen now that she's captured, but that would drastically clash with the tone of the show, so unlikely.
I expected teen, but I missed the girl part as well- not that it matters because shows like this don't bother to introduce named characters just to kill them off when they can serve another narrative purpose- isekai storytelling is just that 'economical'. By the way, if this were just a hair worse (being the same as boilerplate isekai), that 'narrative purpose' would certainly be expanding the harem, so Chiyu Mahou gets props for that, at least. AND don't forget they finally got to use the title in dialogue.
It is hard to take the warfare in this seriously, even with the death filled flashback due to the generally uplifting and lighthearted tone the series has been in from episode one, for better or worse. We didn't get a consistent scope/strength comparison or strategic vision for either side, so what we have is random disconnected 'fighting in the sand' scenes. Bit of a missed opportunity.

Aaaaand Black Knight goes in the harem.
Suzune being fiercely jealous of all the "flags" that Usato set off with the black knight was worth the cliche development with the black knight.
Also, we finally saw the darker side to the Princess, hahaha.
