, I can't help but feel sorry for Prescea and Raynold,
I didn't check for/notice 'harem' tags but the author seems to be at least toying with the tropes:
Hyse has at least 3 or 4 women interested in him (and they, at least superficially, fall into harem member stereotypes:
one, the childhood friend, had a falling out with him, and now seems to be trying really had to win him back as a friend...or as something more?
another who is a literal princess, and kuudere (does she have blue hair?) is currently being more overt with here affections
a third, more of a rival, and a muscle-brained battle addict type
I mention the fourth (Robin) she seems to genuinely like Hyse as a person/platonically (?) but descriptio0ns fit genki-girl trope
a similar group of admirers surround Sasha (one of which just secured a date! you go Raynold) I imagine much to the chagrin of one of her deredere (and annoying) party members
the interesting part (to me at least) is the overlap of the Venn diagram: The protagonists are the only two characters apparently occupying the region A∩B
