I could have enjoyed this a lot more if his childhood friend had also been a villain who happily joined in betraying him. Leaving her out to dry like that just because she's S-ranked left a bad taste in my mouth. He betrayed her too, in my book. Anyway.
Now that Eldora has clothes I expect a lot less frontal nudity fanservice. I don't like the male lead that much anymore (I never really liked weak-willed male leads that much to begin with), but let's see how far Eldora can carry me through this story. She's at least a fun character and has never betrayed anybody.
