Headscratchers / El-Hazard: The Magnificent World

• I seriously get the feeling that there was something in the water when they wrote Alternative. It isn't just Qawool being a Third-Option Love Interest, but the whole harem situation was resolved in OVA 1 with Makoto taken. So why do Nanami and Shayla-Shayla pretend that Ifurita doesn't exist? I mean, we know that Makoto's made his choice, they know Makoto has made his choice, and the harem antics in the first OVA were a side plot anyway.
