Sure, but I'm not suggesting they'd burn the bookshop down to smoke Touma out; they're basically next door neighbors? (Or they were, until the SoL got reassigned to the other end of the planet.) If they'd all had a chance to step out of their front door and know that they could corner Calibur, I feel like they'd've done it, and not sworn it off as too easy, or an imposition or whatever. It just feels like a weird storytelling oversight that should've been acknowledged.

I feel like the show had the same mindset I'd had -- Mei does not want to be the focal point of men fretting about her safety -- and opted to skip over it.
