Hard to guess at a glance, I could see it go either way (probably the other way...).
However, the setup feels nostalgic, brings back memories of being a little kid teased by your aunts who would joke about taking you away.
It's funny to me that the supposedly overpowered stats are still only in the low double digit range. From this kind of reaction I'd expect actually ridiculous numbers like 99,999s across the board as is the case with maxed out JRPG characters or cheat skill isekai.
Nope, not getting it. For a moment I thought Shorts was infected with the plague too, and seeking to doom a different country to join the Commoner and Slave, but it doesn't look right either. Maybe the message is only legible to the author?
I hope Hamita sticks to writing shorter stories with...

Hilarious. The only reason she's been acting weird at that moment is because she thought he thought she stank.
What's so handy about spraying perfume on bookmarks, though?
Ah, classic wage slavery. When even hammering steel day in, day out is an improvement.
It's safe to assume she was too weakened to transform. Also it's like a classic fairy tale set-up: save dragon -> receive girl.
It's a pretty cheap addition most of the time too. It can happen at any moment, and then be disregarded a few panels later to make room for humor or fanservice. The mood goes all over the place. Attempted rape is especially cheap and can be briefly added into any otherwise wholesome romcom as a...

It can work. Bouken ni wa is heavy on worldbuilding, but still manages to be interesting by focusing on telling stories with strong characters first and foremost.
This artist is really something, huh. I enjoy the variety of poses, angles, compositions, facial expressions, outfits, and all those panels that tell a story without any text. Now that's how you use a visual medium.
