I don't understand what your gripe is with those girls being in Ise's peerage. You say he's given them without even trying, but i say you could consider he started assembling his peerage right from volume one, when he first met Asia. He's gotten those girls to fall for him, and want to join his team, and it wasn't easy for him, it took quite a while. So their becoming members of his peerage was just a culmination of quite a bit of work. Besides, he still has quite a few members to find, provided Tannin Jr. doesn't stay, and they don't cheat by giving Ise a couple of 4 pawn piece team members, instead of 8 pawn girls.
