Kinema Citrus' adaptation follows the source. After Season 4, continue with light novel volume 15 — note the anime has overtaken the slower-releasing manga adaptation, so the novels are the way to read ahead.
Season 4 adapts light novel volumes 13-14. Continue with volume 15. The original light novel is complete (22 main volumes), so you can read the rest of Naofumi's story now. The manga adaptation runs monthly and is behind the anime, so the novels are the better continuation.
