From what Ishibumi has said, I don't think we're getting any real slice of life until the next arc. Vol. 21's meant to be darker than normal, has the fate of the universe and potentially another Devil civil war as the focus, and foreshadows the next arc.
I'd be happy if next arc was on the Malebolge rather than the Hindu Gods. That leaves more time to develop the series (particularly in relation to Ise and his harem/peerage, maybe a bit more universe backstory).
