uuuuh is the current ML a yikes? I hear warning bells when he told the protag she was "all the friends I need" and the gloomy face when Maise said in jest that she wanted to marry the chef.
i wonder if being the demon lord the mls powers bring harm to others unconsciously? like a passive effect or smth justifying him not having human buddies At All and the mc being safe bc shes the saintess
