Did they change this? I don’t recall Rishia becoming a slave. I thought Naofumi offered it to both her and Keel but Keel ran away and Rishia simply refused. Maybe I just remembered wrong.

Honestly both would make sense for her character. On the one hand she’s devoted to Itsuki and wouldn’t want to be bound to someone else like that. On the other she’s desperate to get stronger by any means necessary. I’d prefer it if she wasn’t a slave though. Her growing strong without that provides a demonstration of someone growing with their own efforts rather than relying on the slave shield’s cheat. Not to mention that a big part of her is trying to overcome that subservient, self-deprecating attitude that holds her down.

Either way they did alter Itsuki a bit to make him less of a jerk. I do recall originally he’d actually been forced to admit he’d made up an excuse to get rid of her and told her to her face that she was useless, leading to her trying to kill herself from despair.
