@Memi Ask Kayriel. I was just quoting for the sake of the reply, so those weren't my original words, per se. For me, it's just his general attitude and meek personality. At the end of the day, he's not really doing what he wants to do the most effective way. Instead he invented himself the role where he's slowly trudging around babysitting the brats. He hides behind the identity of a powerless peddler so that nobody would ask him for help with anything big. Instead of, you know, simply doing what he wants to do by simply rejecting the requests. In other words, he's trying to fool his own conscience as apparently he couldn't live with himself if he rejected pleas for help. If everybody thinks he's weak and don't ask for his assistance, he apparently can pretend nothing's happening.
However, despite all this, he's actually helping people big time, so that's in fact what he wants to do. Kind of a weird circle we went around here.
Allowing the brats to cockblock him is also a thing. We know he's a healthy guy and this fantasy world is the perfect opportunity, but he's too meek to go for it because some squirts tell him not to do it. He could solve this problem by becoming a pedo, but at least he's not degenerate enough for that.
