Oh, shit. Why does this feels like prelude to tragedy? I know we have happy ending since we have gospel, but man, I'm prepared for emotional rollercoster now.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I'd argue Zyugoya was aware of that anticlimax and decided to use this flashback to frame everything we've seen until now and to set up what we're gonna get in the next 3 volumes. Might not be the most exciting in and of itself, but it's most certainly relevant... plus I'm a whore for world building so I'm biased to stuff like this.

I mean, literally 4 comments above yours...
I wasn't even referring to this comment section, but damn, there it is.

It just feels a bit of a cop-out. Hopefully, this ability of his wouldn't play a bigger role and the characters go through an arc. At least throw me that bone.
It's just that all this time I've wondered how this demon would copulate. I'd bite something cheezy with something like how she really loved him so bad she learned how to tone her powers down just for this one moment, overcoming the mindset that shaped her through her years being a ravaging force of destruction. Instead, I think I'm just gonna get some "eh, he neutralized her demonification when they fucked, there you go" kind of deal which is led to me saying that I wouldn't want it to play a big role and thinking it a cop-out. I don't mind the rest but not this couple's story.

It's better than that. Spoilers through vol5:
They fill the holes in each others hearts, live together for a few years (with Zeke taking care of just about everything) and get to know each other, get married, have a kid, and down the line
spoilers through vol8:
both think that the other is doing all the hard work. To Lorem, Zeke is off doing the heavy lifting being a spy while she just plays with Gospel. Zeke, on the other hand, thinks he's just sitting in a car playing spy while Lorem has shouldered the unimaginably difficult duty of child rearing. After the raid on Kindland, Zeke expresses that he's amazed at how good Lorem is at parenting and Lorem is happy she finally has something she can teach him.
Zyugoya really thought his shit through and I love it.
