Last thing, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do a double episode reaction for 7&8 together they perfectly fit as back 2 back episodes to watch. All I'm gonna say is that shit gets real in backstories.
And I'm not saying you have to binge the rest of the season, but just try and watch episode 7&8 together if you really can please π

Another thing they don't really explain is that when Riko cut those parts of her hair off she actually gave it to Kaja which allowed him to turn into that "speed mode" when running away from the monster.
In the village they view children in general as the highest value thing and to some they can utilize parts of a child to change themselves like Kaja did with Rikos hair though it only seems temporary.

Reg is basically a combination of the highest rarity relics and with what Bondrewd said in the flashback "a White Whistle is able to bring out the true potential of relics" which is what Riko did to Reg by basically making him go Super Saiyanπ.
And yes as you said Reg was already really close to the village 1 or 2 episodes ago.
Also a fun little fact that they don't really mention directly in the anime is that Riko is able to communicate with Prushka and actually still have full on conversations with her but only her and Riko can do that since she's the owner of the White Whistle.

That thing you saw at the end of the episode was not the compass it was something completely different which you'll learn about next episode.
