I won't deny that this is one of the weakest arcs. Other arcs have been better for sure, this one is kinda weak yes. But well... for that matter,I thought that the school arc with the bullying was worse. Because honestly... it didn't have much place in the whole story (not likely that the two young students are going to matter anytime soon, they're too young. Unless there's time skips.) The most relevant part in that arc was the weasel girl who wanted a friend but mistrusted humans.
While certainly forced, and apart from the obvious harem tropes, I think this arc "fits" with the general undercurrent of the entire story. That is the fact that the MC never discriminates about anyone, even in a wolrd where demi humans and monsters are heavily discriminated against. And yes this is a strong shonen trope, but the author is obviously very set on it.
- We have Amako, already a set party member.
- We have an up-and-coming "demon knight" that's going to join the party soon. Literally enemy people to the kingdom that summoned the MC.
- We have the weasel girl who became a friend in the school arc. Not likely to join the party or harem, but still there.
- And now, the vampire necromancer hikikomori girl joins the party. Another weirdo for the party/"harem", to show that the MC doesn't care about race or anything else.
Let's face it, we literally have one normal girl (the heroine) for now as a possible romantic/party prospect... and three demi-humans. She's outnumbered three to one XD
I'm just saying, I like this manga for what it is. It's not my favorite arc... but it fits with the general theme. And I still find it pretty entertaining, all things considered.
