I seem to recall the sister also wants to make herself the saint. Wouldn't she be chasing the relics as well? She would likely also know their locations. But maybe I remember it wrong and she only wanted an "easy" marriage with a whole bunch of guys.
Let me do you all guys a favor you wont appreciate.
Drop the series today. It becames generic and boring starting this chapter. Actually you can pin point the exact page where it start going downhill and it never recovers.
1
Leon becomes the most generic isekai protagonist with a complex to save EVERYONE. Even enemy soldiers and people who openly betrayed him.
2
Olivia becomes the most generic damsel in distress. She spends like 2 arcs in a row looking pathetic like in this chapter or crying because she is a damsel in distress while doing nothing about it
3
The duchess becomes just a narrator. She never takes any decision or shows any motivation starting this page. She just appears at the end of each arc to do some exposition of the events.
4
The only character which is interesting at this point is the Leon previous life sister who steal everything from Leon under his nose including the position of the saintess. Then let her new parents waste it all without saying a beep.
up to the end of the war there are still some pretty good moments.
But starting up from the second game, the quality has dropped a fair bit.
Livia and Angie get sidetracked as background characters so leon can get new harem members.
But while Leon becomes Generic, Marie, Julius and their troop get a heck of a lot of character development as well as redemption arcs.
For the most part, I agree the series went downhill. The idea of him beating ikemen and trashy girls was great. After that happened, the series didn't have a lot of places to go, he's no longer the underdog, and the original writer certainly isn't a genius that could pull it off.
It could have ended at the hot springs scene.
leon never gets any real respect save from maybe 9 people, even times he win he gets treated like shit by too many for the story to be enjoyable.
his whole japanese pacfism isekai self imsert trait is dumb here
Angelica and olivia have some big moments in the hostage arc, but it's very undermined by leon doing 90% of the work.
Casting shield on an entire ship or offering yourself alone as a hostage to a stronger enemy is nice and all, but leon solos their entire fleets, superweapons and rescues her.
I liked the two haughty noble girls leon helps but their screentime is low, and no points guessing if they fall for him.
Plus all his self depciating mob talk is silly when he is so op.
Also olivia x angelica yuribait is stupid when we know 3p on leon is going to be the real ending + more harem girls probably.
Dunno about the sis but she's nowhere near good enough of a character to make up for her flaws. And yes, leon forgives her iirc?
Series has little to offer save generic harem later on.
Plus if you want an entertaining isekai antagonist,

has my fav character.

It was explained literally in this chapter, why refusing wasn't an option. It's a formal indirect request from the earl to baron trough middlemen. While technically he could refuse because the method was pretty underhanded (using commoner girl who had no idea about rules of nobles nor contents of the request), it's still would throw quite a lot of dirt on both, him and Olivia. Moreover, if he refused, Olivia would have to deal with request on her own - its what happened in original game apparently, where she got saved by one/all of the Stupid Five (depending on the route).
In a class-based society reputation isn't something to take lightly, and even if this probably wasn't something they couldn't survive by refusing, it's obviously was not advisable. The fact that there's also a treasure to be taken and that Leon knows what's up to begin with is just a simple bonus to the whole situation.
@Serenata
Page four. Olivia (a commoner) already accepted an open-ended request from a noble. Carla went to Olivia first instead of Leon in order to take her social hostage.
Leon. "I'm a mob" isn't a reason for Olivia to not date you. Especially since she's "a commoner". Besides that fact, how do you expect her to form any attachment to the idiot reverse harem at this point?
Ah well. Luxion tried and you can't say it didn't. If only it was as proactive in helping the girls patch things up.
...Y'know, Marie is an annoying spoiled bitch, but I'll give her credit where credit is due. Gambling is bad and she really has to put up with a lot if she went from gambling boyfriend to irresponsible family to idiots who treat money like it's water.
