Plz no trap, jailbait is fine but plz no trap

So considering that Rank S guy is a servant to the girl, I wonder if she can hide her power.

 

[Umetsu]

@ColonelCrisp Ravioli ravioli you can't not lewd the demon loli. ?

 

[InsaneInsomniac]

@jak I think it's more likely that she's actually just a kid and (given his whole bit about choosing honor over riches) the S ranker was probably a loyal servant to one or both of her parents, and, after something happened to them, he helped her escape and is raising her

KEK!

 

[Kyujyu]

The loli is the daughter of the demon king or something.
In her status mention "Seedling of Rulers".

@Kyujyu & @InsaneInsomniac
Both of you are on the right track; at least, I'm thinking the same thing, so it must be True! 😆

My thought is that she really is the age she appears, is the sole surviving offspring of nobles who had something nasty happen to them, and the old man is the "Faithful Retainer Seeking To Right Wrongs And Restore Her To Her Proper Station"™ (& @moel , she's not a trap)

Thus, his attempting to come to her aid (and showing a certain level of smarts about it, albeit not understanding the social environment of the baddies properly to realize what would go wrong), and struggling against the Cannibal skill's inability to distinguish between friend or foe, and expressing loyalty to his current "Lord" despite the possible consequences... show him to be just the type of person they are seeking. Honest, honorable, loyal, and not too dumb despite all of that.

I have a button someplace that reads, "Lawful Good Does Too Mean Stupid"; it's leftover from back when I played pencil & paper RPGs a lot.
I tended to play Neutral Good or Chaotic Good characters, as that allowed me to evaluate whether the laws were worth following in a given situation while still seeking to do good.

@Weasalopes thank you!

@moel
(mutters to myself, "Dang, I'd better not be wrong about that...")

No, to me at least, it doesn't feel like the type of manga where she'd turn out to be a trap.
The mangaka is having fun with tropes, but not that way.
