Close, Enome is named after Eurynome and Esyne is named after Euphrosyne.

Magnificently done. You can learn something new every day.

well the story is always entertaining from the start, it just author slip in some smut thats why some people missed it

I agree with the first part--and I'm not one who has a problem with sexual content. It's just that this author went as far as to stuff his MC into the closet for lolicon's sake: he was already into the best girl in the setting, but of all the characters he's shown as being unable to resist, it's the androgynous ones--even when he knows one of them is male.

That said, the story is good enough to ignore that: I emphatically disagree with the author's hidden message in his worldbuilding (i.e., "'weapons' are evil"; people will find a way to kill each other without regard for one another's circumstances one way or another, as you see in this chapter) and consider it effeminately shortsighted, but it--and the execution--nevertheless makes for an interesting setting. The characters are good, too. Enome is peerlessly beautiful and Esyne is charming in her ways, and I like San a bit too (which is a bit of a surprise; normally those women that exhibit dominatrix-type traits are loathsomely written--San isn't, as she doesn't go overboard with it from what I remember). Of the male characters, True and Shock interest me--the latter in particular, as I wonder what he can do (and hope it's something cool).

MC is just a sucker for capable person, it just happened that every capable person in this story are either already taken or not even a girl.

So this gets me thinking, if Phoenizaku act like this the moment its saint almost got raped, what would zenith do had he found out Enome actually got raped?

I can't believe that one, as that'd mean he responds to competence with love or lust--that'd be a pretty extreme reaction. That said, San's quite competent as far as the cast's females go, and he hasn't an ounce of interest in her; at least, I don't remember him showing interest in her the way he does the trap. In fact, the only people he's actually shown that much interest in are Enome--whose place is on the sidelines and railroaded to avoid romance with the MC--and the aforementioned trap; it's also Enome's rejection that kept him from approaching anyone afterward. The story is named Futoku no Guild, and the author's putting in an effort to make it as immoral as possible to match the name. (The irony is that direction, along with what it entails, is the story's only real flaw.)

At the very least, it's yet another excuse for the two most favored and promoted depraved fetishes in anime/manga/LNs.

lol He wasn't aware?
