Now we're gonna get "Shoul I return with them or not"
She already made her choice and still angry after he hit her husband. I think you're the one belittling her character by suggesting that AFTER she's shown her stance rather clearly.
Goddammit. I had hoped otherwise, but both the Knight and the Mage are going to cause trouble. All because they gave Chris no agency and thought of her as Someone that needed to be Rescued instead of taking their time to understand the current situation she finds herself in. And to beat up Kanji is just wrong. Brother Knight is supposed to be a fucking Hero, ffs. Instead he's acting like a petulant child He should be placed under police custody if he's going to destroy property and fly off the handle like that. The Mage doesn't strike me as being any more understanding of their own circumstances either. Something tells me they're going to follow up their foolish reactions by doubling down and use force to get their way again.
You don't need to be a virtuous person to be a 'hero', you just need to defeat enemies.
Just look at how many medieval setting stories have it where the ML is a 'war hero' while fighting on the front but the moment he return everyone tuck their tail fearing him as a cold blooded murderer?
The brother being emotional siscon that goes ook ook I can see coming, but I do wonder where the mage stands.
On one hand she's hard simping for the bro, on the other hand she didn't seem to share the condescending attitude of the brother towards Honami and others so conversation seem possible...if the bro didn't interrupt.
