That's pretty much it. It's the guilt about the usage of game knowledge (aka cheating). He has come so far due that alone after all. Without lexon, he is nothing and he pretty much acknowledges that. So he looks at the girls from the same lense. However, they will trap him to marry him and that's not a good thing in my book either. I'd rather he came to that conclusion himself instead of once again someone else making the decisions for him.

This is all this story is about in the end. Leon getting dragged in to stuff unwillingly. He does everything out of obligation. He is not a very good example of "no fucks given MC" either since he ALWAYS does what he is told. No matter how much he kicks and screams. He has no balls or agency. He will continue to be a plot device in his own story while people around him use him to their best interest. Including the harem.
since I got spoiled from future events and the alternative story I really can't enjoy the series like in the past, plus the elf arc and how he got to prison were pretty crap the same when Olivia got super depressed and we didn’t get an actual resolution to that and the same disgust with the first cuck chapter we got here when the spoilers exploded a lot more.
the series is great but f*cks up a lot, at least Queen hasn't failed any time she appears.

finished reading the novel few days ago

no spoilers, I just want to say one aspect about the translation
(I don't know if anyone has brought this up before or whether there's already an explanation about it)
it's about the translation of "magic" vs "demon" in the story, in particular the arm equipment that Vandel used

as you might know that the kanji "magic" contains the kanji "demon/devil" in it
that's why you can say that the literal translation of the kanji "magic" itself is "the way of demon" or "the method of demon"

So in the official translations (so far in the novels) the kanji/phrases in that context are translated as "demon" throughout the series
e.g. demonic tool, demon knight, demonic essence, demonic core, etc.
which was then accepted by the fandom (don't know which came first),
and I see that in this manga fan translation, they are also translated in a similar way as "devil's tool" and "demon" (ch. 61, 63,)

as a comparison, I see in several fan translations of the novels, they are translated simply as "magic" until the very end
e.g. magic tool, magic knight, magical essence, etc.
my guess because it is mostly MTL, so maybe they just left it as is (literal tanslation)

now, if we look at its usage in this story, in the current arc, I think "devil" or "demon" makes perfect sense,
They are fighting monsters, it is an unknown lost item, so the word "devil" fits the narrative.
(also maybe it was done to differentiate the "evil" magic from the "normal" magic, because here there are already several types of magic: human magic, elf magic, and later there will be yet another form of magic)

However, in the later stories, this "demon" naming becomes a bit weird in context.
and above all, in the final 2 arcs, I feel like calling it "demon" is just plain wrong
I feel like I have to agree with MTL here. Calling it simply "magic" just makes a lot more sense in the (future) narrative

and that's all I wanted to say, because that translation really bugs me towards the end
sorry if anyone feels like this turned out to be a spoiler,
but I just wanted to point that out as a caution for the translation since this arc is the first appearance of it
just a little bit of food for thought
demon is also a nomenclature for unnatural object or creature that can be considered a front to god or natural order so if is a magic that defies the natural magic it can be considered demonic.
but i didn't read the novel but i am curious is by the definition i gave or a mistranslation because cursed object, demonic and magical are nearly the same thing in Japanese

The stuff with his sisters this chapter is made all the funnier by the fact I'm reading the manga where he romances his sister "The World of That Otome Game is Tough for Us".

yeah,
I also didn't think it was a problem for so long until about 80% of the way through the story when I felt something was off,
but I kept going, it's fine, whatever
until I got to a point where I couldn't ignore it

I'm going to mix things up and keep everything vague

basically, think if there is a country with the word "holy" in its name, has a knight order called the holy knights,
calls themselves allies of justice and that Leon's kingdom is heretic,
yet donning weapons they call demonic suit, relies on the existence of demonic essence, and having a demonic core as the king's advisor

I think that narrative just doesn't make sense

I mean, If I were the leader of that country, I would call it something else.
Leon and Luxion as the enemy can call it demon as they like, but I would of course want to call it something else.

Dude, he wants them to be happy and feels like having them both is like cheating. It's called having standards, literally saying he cares too much about them to hurt them and as such he won't pick either.
That is not called cheating. Cheating is called cheating. And if he cares too much about them then will he make sure to find the perfect boy for both of them, to ensure no harm befalls to them in the future? What a backwards way of doing shit lmfao

"It'd be in your best interest to marry me."
I mean, kind of late for that idea. Been the case since several arcs ago.

"It would be embarrassing for a count to marry into a family."
Not if it's a higher ranked family. And as she says, absolutely not Leon.

She really is a proper drill hair girl. She's awesome.

"Oh, so not because I kicked your son's ass or tried to bang your wife?"
Savage.

Good queen, good timing.

Sister's so smug. And then immediately hits her forehead to the ground to beg for a little bit of money. Really is all over the place. She's so horrible, but I won't hate her.

"But she has a kid my age!"
She's cute so it's fine.

He cares way too much about his family, and he barely cares at all.

With all these blatant translation innacuracies for the sake of edgy-14-year-old-style humor, this feels like something from Mangastream.
Your description makes it feel more appropriate for this manga, not less.

Copy image link and post that link.
yeah so image has to be hosted online, was certain we could link them directly thanks

Oh poor Leon, he is being played again and didnt notice. That convo with the brother, I was tempted to check the Raw to confirm if what the brother said about the engagement ceremony was properly translated 😛. But Im too lazy…
Don't know about the mangas, but in ln and wn it's explicitly said that it's for his brother ...

He has been in that mentality ever since he picked up Luxion so it would be hard to just suddenly break out of it. Also, he tried to have Olivia go to one of the 5 dunces but they turned out to be complete assholes due to Marie. They also slapped him when he said he loved them both and couldn't pick one over the other. Of course the mixed signals is going to confuse him; he doesn't think they would be okay with the harem route.

There definitely was some choices made in the translation.

Do you mean which volume? Or who is the parent of the reincarnation of Marie's kid?

If you did mean Game, it is the 3rd one. If you meant Volume it is Volume 9. If you wanted to know (some spoilers ahead) who is the mother, it is our resident Milf, Mylene. If you wanted to know her 'role' it was technically the Villainess.
I can't wait for the next chapter to drop. Which LN chapter did this stop on? Appreciate it if anyone knows!
Were basically at the Epilogue of Volume 3. Next chapter should finish the volume.
