I was surprised she didn't question Ryo's magic in this episode since we could saw her conscious after they left the dungeon xD

To be fair, nobody cared at all besides the old dudes.

Its such a weird thing. This guy only Abel really knows just pops down from the ceiling, having dug a hole from the 39th floor or so, and then proceeds to cut the head off a legendary monster and then cast a spell 256 times simultaneously and no one bats an eye. Such a terrible aspect of this show. I have to wonder if the source material is better about that.

Right? There are so many implications of Ryo showing off like that and only the old man and abel were really the only ones to have a proper reaction. Definitely a weaker part of this show

It is worth considering that the entire crew was basically barely standing at this point and probably most of them are in some level of shock given they are near the point of death. Then Ryo shows up and within what is essentially 3 short moves (2 spells and a swing of a sword) the conflict is over and they are suddenly preparing to return to the surface.

It's extremely common for trauma survivors to not remember all of/most of what happened during (hence the saying "it was all a blur") so a large part of it is probably that they are all shell shocked and hadn't yet been given time to process what happened. And of course mix in the important point Abel made to his party of "do not pry and accidentally anger the walking talking nuclear bomb" for good measure.

My guess is we will get a debrief/decompression scene next episode where Abel's party actually gets a chance to sit down, discuss, and understand what they saw/experienced.

I don't quite remember, but wasn't most of the others dead? Also if you go by logic, their boss would make sure everyone of his subordinates stay quiet about it.

We still have next episode to hope, removing Ryo from town could very well be for that purpose. Also, most of them were half dead and had been dealing with impossible stuff for a bit now (not a lot since it would take like tips 15-30 minutes most of which would be Natalie running to get Ryo) so they were probably processing it as "par for the course".
