Either adopt her or marry her FFS, Onii-san.
Because it's too dangerous to leave her as-is!
If he wasn't the one to find her first, dear god.

Manga TL here is 85 of 107 of WN with final update August 22, 2024.
There was a long hiatus after chapter 91 October 18, 2023 that was unexplained.
Manga RAW latest is 25.3 with final update November, 2023.
I get the feeling Manga went on hiatus while the WN author vanished.
Then there was a...
Might be a while. In the WN (which seems to be on hiatus):
The author hasn't updated the WN in a couple months, so I'm wondering how the heck the manga artist will proceed.
Fluff. A looooot of fluff. At least until Ch. 20 or so.
Perhaps a bit too fluffy for my liking. Told from a child's perspective too.
Very little of her past maturity is preserved, which I sort-of didn't like.
There's a picture of another girl to the right.
Then they have a quote "Because they were too 'small', customers stopped coming".
The humans deserve to die. Even the townsfolk.
I've written off humans.
I'm firmly in a Demon Lord camp in any story going forward pretty much.
Not pointless stupidity like "Ainz Ol Gown". But explicit and systemic genocide.
Too many JP authors "humble" and "kind" their MCs. Without considering in-universe logical implications.
Sometimes...
Wanna bet JP author wusses out and lets villains get away with this scot-free?
And no, "beating them up" doesn't count. The dwarves' wives and children were already implicated.
It's not "barbaric" to enact the same harms on those doing it to you. It's called "war".
I'd like to think she either headbutt him really hard (Moto-Sekai Ichii Sub-chara style) -- or told him "Drink Your Ovaltine".
That's was you get for being ambiguous and wishy-washy, Author.
You know. I know. We all know.
The author will never let the "clean, civilized, humane" fellow Japanese die.
Despite literally calling out the moments-prior murder of innocent adventurers.
The fact I can say this with such absolute certainty saddens me.
From reading the actual WN myself, and not second-hand knowledge: it's fully romantic. Just not explicit Shounen-level graphic T&A.
They're basically long-term married "baka-fufu".
