I lost about 80% of my discoveries due to the Cosmos discovery glitch. Is it true that it’s just not going to be possible to get them back?

Spoiler warning:

Something bothered me about Ogata’s reaction to Asirpa shooting him. She didn’t do it out of malice, she didn’t do it to kill, hell, she didn’t even have any intent to kill. She aimed because he aimed at her for one, and she shot because Sugimoto startled her. So why does Ogata look so satisfied? Why does he smile to himself as if this somehow affirmed his delusions? Is his need to validate his beliefs so loose that he’d accept a conclusion that clearly does not show anything in his favor? This always confused me, because as broken Ogata is, he does not seem like the credulous type to me where something so weak would please or validate him.

It’s obvious how inveterately loyal he is to Rimuru at first glance, but is there anything, hypothetically, that would make him “betray” rimuru even if only in thought? For instance, if he were to become less powerful, fail at something, or not proceed in the “godlike” image Diablo conceives of him?

Usually characters like Razen always seek to usurp power or stand as the most powerful, but he is fiercely loyal to Falmuth and even more so to King Edmaris, who could very well be viewed as incompetent. He was ready to serve Diablo thereby betraying Falmuth if it meant ensuring the safety of King Edmaris and did so at his own suffering. What motivation does he have for such deep loyalty, especially regarding his somewhat haughty nature?
