Sein should have been there. He'd visit a tavern for a drink or two and this time probably lament how it should have been him on a date with an older woman instead.
I've always felt that the author dropped the ball by writing Sein out too early. For the chapters and episodes where he's in the party, he's like the salt that brings out the flavor of the other characters. Any time Sein is having a one on one chat with Frieren, Fern, or Stark, they open up and reveal a lot more about their qualities and character. Sein gets plenty of development of his own in this short time.
But having him for only 4 episodes just seems wasteful. If his departure was written, idk, 10 episodes out, then it would have felt like we actually spent good quality time with him. And his journey would still be but a fleeting intersection with the others'.
It's easy to say that from an audience's perspective, but it's possible that either:
Anyways, if he were here I think he'd have Stark And Fern in a stable relationship by the end of the season. Can't have that! Either way, they could always run into him later.
