Heh... I kinda like that the response to her reveal is mostly positive, novel readers have been spoiling this like for the last 10 chapters and the usual response was "I don't care she still a TRAITORRRRRRR!!!"
That's because most of that crowd fucked off a long time ago. And good riddance, too. :wtf:
Those kinds of people tend to be either be trolls or really self-entitled. The former can be tolerated because they just want to be annoying. The latter have such a narrowed view of the world that they consider any form of betrayal to be unjustified. Even if said betrayer has a gun pointed to their head.

Personally, I can accept the reason for her siding with 'hero'. It's one of those difficult choices. Which is heavier? The life of the person in front of you or the thousands of lives that could die if you save the former? There's no right answer there.
Pretty much all of this. They act out the ableist stereotype of autistics so much that it almost make sme sick. (Sick of their bullshit, at least.)

And ditto for Cliora. Doing undercover work like that has to be the hardest thing a person can do. And I'm glad that she finally came clean with Dion about the matter.

Also, she get's brownie points for the sexy pose when she cast that lightning spell on the bear-monster. Makes me wonder if she did that on purpose... :meguusmug:

That said, I love how the mangaka is more than willing to give us these epic pictures of beautiful women being sexy as all hell while kicking ass and taking names.

(Like that one just a few chapters in of Eldora beating the crap out of that cue ball-head with only her feet... because she was carrying her shoes in her hands... because with her shoes on they were deadly weapons and an unfair advantage. And woah momma dem legs!)

She was blushing and smiling in that ch1 panel btw
Yeah, I went back to check and noticed this. I wonder if this plot point was intended from the start (and she was just acting), or if this was just the author going "well Segrit's whole party doesn't have to be pro-Segrit, let's change this one up" (or alternately, since this is an adaptation, maybe the artist just didn't know that far ahead in the source material).

Usually when you have characters like this who don't actually like the "bad hero" they're visibly upset/indifferent to what's going on, vs how she was shown here.

She just stood by?
Is the author drunk or going senile?

This is her litteraly mocking him just as the "hero" is about to murder the MC by dropping him to his death.

"I aM a KnIgHt AnD i InVeStIgAtE dRuGs" yup, that certainly justifies being an accomplice to murder...and obviously something that should be easy to forgive....
Sorry but no. I don't buy that this gleeful expression on her face is that of a hapless person just doing her job.

I like that the sage is a true heroine. She is focusing on the big picture, but regrets unable to help Dion at the time.
I disagree, she seems morec than gleeful to allow the hero to murder the MC by dropping him to his death.

That is not the expression of someone who regrets what she has to do, and "shr acting" is not an excuse since she is behind the hero and he can't see her expression.

I'd seen a spoiler that Cliora had ulterior motives for joining Segrit's party, but I've been wondering why she didn't bring him in for trying to kill Dion. Guess trying to uncover a whole cartel gives her some leeway.
It doesn't give her leeway for looking so gleeful during his murder. Not when she is positioned in a behind Sigrit where he can't see her face.

Dude, stop being a troll or gtfo.

But on the off-hand chance you really do think that?

Undercover cops are a real thing, and they have to witness crimes all the time, sometimes even to the point of being an accessory. Granted, outright murder isn't usually on the table, but shit happens sometimes, especially when setting up sting operations for high-value drug deals, just like the one they got cooking in this manga. The undercover cop can't say a damn thing to anyone that has even the most remote chance of blowing their cover.

But hey, you don't gotta take my word for it.

First, have an article from Business Insider about how real life undercover officers operate.

And here's a PubMed article on the psychological stresses of being an actual undercover officer.

i dont know how to feel about this girl tbh. on one hand, i get that her job is to blend in to try and track down the druglord. on the other hand, she basically became an accomplice for murder. i have previously thought that the reason why the guild itself didnt go after that cunt of a hero earlier was because it would expose eldora's identity, but now i feel like he was simply an unfortunate sacrifice for the greater good (greater good being "maybe this one retard hero fucks up and gives us a hint that links him to a druglord")
i'd say she doesnt deserve pity nor to become part of the group. fuck her.

actually nice that she joins the fold. and the captain being even younger is quite the blatant foreshadowing for yet another potential harem member lol

It certainly helps that she was aiming for a bigger fish, like a massive drug cartel

the spoilers I got up to this point just said she was undercover to arrest the dick, which made no sense since she had more than enough evidence to send him to jail for murder. But this mostly tracks and makes her actions at least somewhat more understandable

Boy she is an undercover knight to get that assthat reveal who his backers are.
i DO not envy her at all.. think of the crimes she HAS to commit to gain trust... i don't think she is sleeping well at nights.
i won't be surprised if a later chapter reveals that she got PTSD from this.

and also it is GOOD to see MC did admit he WANTS to destroy assthat's face big time. not "Oooh i do forgive him becauee we were FRIEEEEEEENDS! OH LALALALALA!" uggh.
So yes MC is very.. very angry and glad he WON'T forgive him. GOOD!

People here are retards for thinking that killing the MC in the first chapter has been somehow needed or justified for this whole undercover operation. There has been no reasons for her to go along with doing that with a happy smug face. She could've told that he's not worth it and insist they'd simply kick his ass out of the party, literally and figurally, as soon as they get out of the dungeon, as not becoming an active participant in murdering the MC wouldn't put her cover and the operation under any meaningful kind of risk. Saying it did is a wishful thinking of the unprecedented level, some people need to pull their heads out of their asses and consume less of a criminal bullshit content.

Oh no she doesn't. Just look at all of her expression before, and she did commit murder by literally incapacitated Dion

She could just have her subordinate helped him or something, but no.. and we supposed to think it's alright because she's undercover?

That is not the expression of someone who regrets what she has to do, and "shr acting" is not an excuse since she is behind the hero and he can't see her expression.
I am reminded of the Discworld character 71-Hour Ahmed. He is a police captain for his country, but compared to the main character Sam Vimes, who patrols a large metropolitan area, Ahmed is a man who patrols a desert. He is focused on the greater justice over the immediate right and wrong. He has no backup, minimal support. No means to transport people to holding stations.

Like that, this woman couldn't bring support, may not have time to contact her handler after the plan to kill Dion was made. She couldn't get away, especially if it was made in the wilderness on their way to the dungeon. This society doesn't have communication magic over long distances. She has done a morally gray action in service of Justice. It's a hard choice, but it looks like she feels guilty, so while she chose Lawful over Good, she isn't a zealot.
