Redemption.

Elk couldn't do it any longer.

It backfired on her, of course, because, after all, these guys couldn't be trusted. If they could be trusted, they wouldn't have set her up in the first place, now would they?

However, she just lucked out, big time.
Not only is Our Hero there to save the day, it appears he was there long enough to hear everything.
Which means... not only does he now know that she was using him, setting him up, he also knows that she couldn't do it any longer and live with herself.

And that means...
That after he rescues her, the likelihood is very high that he won't ditch her.
Because he knows that she turned her back on what she had been doing.
In spite of the consequences to herself, she turned her back on the path of evil.
He knows this to be true.

Remorse.
Conviction of sins.
Acceptance of punishment.

Now she can be forgiven.
Now she can be redeemed.

(Yes, there are Christian religious overtones in how I phrased all of this, but in this case I feel that the concepts do apply, that this is precisely how one should look at this. Effectively, for Elk, this is being born again, this is the new birth.)

Why didn't she just try to run away? Yes in this story it worked out better for her but fleeing seems the better alternative compared to what she thought would happen.

 

[firosahoge]

alright, I'll take back what I said about him being dumb. He just straight up doesn't care cuz he's op

 

[Kaarme]

@firosahoge He's still dumb, though. It's extremely dangerous to be dumb and op. Some crafty fellow could manipulate him to do irrevocable deeds, especially since he does possess a sense of justice.

 

[firosahoge]

@Kaarme true. I mean he's more reckless than actually dumb and unaware of what's going on.

"Wasn't as strong as I thought"
Respect is now lost.

 

[Degernase]

Couldn't the author have her get scammed in a more clever fashion? This just makes her look even dumber, she's completely at fault for getting screwed over.

average iq of the charackters in this manga : 60

and here i thought barring special circumstances you need at least 80 for the nervous system to properly work

but what they are doing is about the same as burning yourself at a hot kettle on the stove screaming ahhh hot then taking their hands down before grabbing the hot kettle again
