Basically, only Priestess and GS have shown growth.Volume 7 seems to be taking place in Elf's village, so she may receive development in that volume.CG and GG haven't really shown any growth, although GG is supposed to already be a mature character, so she probably doesn't really need it. As for CG, in volume 4 she realised she didn't have any friends, so upon spending some time with Priestess and the other girls she decided she would spend some more time at the town for things other than the farm business, and that's all the development she's got. Well, her tits seem to keep getting bigger, so there's that development too.Dwarf and Lizard Priest haven't really changed much.Spearman of all people has actually changed considerably. He started off as a prick, but the more he shows up, the more you get to see he's actually a really good guy.She has shown some attraction to him, but if she's developed feelings for him, she hasn't realised it and she surely hasn't done anything to display them. Not to mention even the her attraction to him isn't nearly as overt as the one other girls like CG, GG or SM have shown. Priestess thing for GS, so far, seems to be a mixture of admiration, trust, fondness, attraction and a bit of emotional dependency.That happened only once, in volume two.Sure, Priestess hasn't been in that kind of danger ever since, but it's still one single instance.I'm not denying this, just saying that, thus far, Priestess hasn't shown any feelings for him. I mean, compare her to GG, who was clearly smitten with GS as soon as she saw him - of course, that was just an attraction/crush, whereas the feelings she has now is true love which is the result of knowing him for 5 years.
