based on the WN, enrique will got his merchant license to be revoked since they are messing with wrong person, especially that yoru girl who is actually daughter of important cardinal in the next city (and surprise, the cardinal is a good guy tough a bit too over protective to her daughter :pacman: )

Yeah, if theft and destruction of property (though wasn't the cart their own?) is in this guy's merchant book, he's going to be in trouble once he's caught.
I'm also confused by his plan to leave with his caravan full of food and people, without any adventurer escort, in a place recently attacked by orcs. Would the orcs not see this caravan leaving a place they attacked and assume the people from the town would have gone with the caravan and therefore target it?
Perhaps he figures he can make it to the next town and get another escort there but that's very reckless. If he had followed the plan, he'd just have lost some profit. By committing theft, he's risking arrest and his company's reputation (though he probably can bribe his way out of that and I guess it'll still be less of a loss, and he's probably expecting to get away scot-free if the Orcs can finish the villagers and adventurers off). But by moving without an escort, he's also risking his life.
I thought when he said that Sora would regret it meant in future relationship with his company, but what he did is quite foolish for someone who considered his "calculations" to be of utmost importance. He could have threatened to use his connections to blacklist these adventurers, and if that still doesn't work, he should have accepted the losses and gone with their plan since that is the safest course of action. I guess he's not a very competent merchant, but mostly used shady deals to accumulate his wealth and brute force his way to more wealth.

I like that twist especially that that last part.

Ready for some karma in the form of orcs to befall the dumbest merchant out there, making enemies with their former escort in an orc infested territory and exposing himself to both monster ambushes and retaliation from the adventurers

The sleazy merchant case aside, am I alone in thinking that the morning scene isn't funny at all? It's basically jumping to (wrong) conclusion followed by immediate violence.
I actually hate that trope as well. In many manga and anime crazy amounts of unjustified violence are accepted simply because a girl is responsible. It completely breaks immersion for actions to have no consequences and it also pisses me off. I remember dropping Toradora anime because it was the greatest example I've ever found of this
