Dunno, comparing saving every living being on earth and one city that he's already in and when he has capability to easily save it without even being seen is kind of a reach (especially since he also wanted to save the city).

It's like comparing trying to save everyone in the world from danger and saving a kitten from a naughty child right in front of you.
the problem is that everybody on that town is gonna learn he's broken af, and that's the problem as what caused his demise on his past life was being famously known as someone strong. He wants to connect to people but finds super hard to do that, remember that the one that was used to kill him was a once a student of his (controlles by his enemies) and she even looked like the hero here (which is why he's such a softie for her, princess already called him on that on past arc).

tl;dr he's scared of getting famous once again

He has the ability to save the city without being seen, and it's a bit too late for that since he already broke into the high security jail and left witnesses.

yeah, he's a moron in that way or more like author forcing that route (probably could have saved the hero without being seen too last time), but they traveled to another place where people wouldn't know about them, also princess will try to maintain the boy reviving everyone as some kind of state secret.

Next thing you know, he'll make an exemption each time his waifu intervenes. Now I'm not sure if having this harem is a good thing.

But if he's saving them, might as well make them all inebted to him in a way.

I don't disagree with Seika's initial decision to abandon the town, this stampede literally happened because of the actions of the adventurers who live there(because they don't understand the lords of the dungeon are basically stop valves to prevent this very thing from happening), and Seika offering up the information on what caused the stampede and what needs to be done to prevent future ones will put him directly at odds with the Adventurers and potentially the guild itself(not to mention how could he explain how he came to learn this without exposing himself further). This stampede was inevitable, Seika saving the town and potentially exposing his strength(AGAIN) just points yet another target on his back, the same type of target that got him marked for elimination and ultimately led to his demise in his first life. Whether you want to admit it or not, the town is doomed because Seika isn't going to be there to pull their asses out of the fire next time a stampede of this scale happens unless he finds some way to manipulate the dungeon so stampedes literally cannot occur at all.

That being said, I understand why he caved and decided to stay and fight with Amiyu and the rest instead of forcibly extracting her and the rest of the girls out of the city because that decision would absolutely destroy the girls and it would ultimately lead to losing his humanity because he'd have definitively drawn a line in the sand saying "Sure I CAN do something here, but I don't care about them so why should I" which is a very slippery slope because forming genuine connections will be harder because in the back of your mind every positive connection is someone else you're "obligated" to help since that is the value system you've adopted as your own. He would ultimately just be drawn closer and closer to being an actual Demon Lord, completely detached from the majority of people and while not relishing the pain and suffering of those he doesn't care about, would observe happenings like this stampede as if they were just another event and that would ultimately leave him alone because that way of thinking would be completely detached from anyone he'd care to have a meaningful relationship with.

I am curious to see how the author plays this from here, because he did bend and is gonna save this place - to the joy of his companions... But this paints a colossal target on him (as many of you have already said) that can only lead to trouble.

This city will likely not be grateful - certain folks will be, but a single person is gonna stop a disaster. Congrats, you are now worse than a disaster.

I don't wanna sound edgy, but I hope we see the counterpoint to this chapter where the girls see how this decision brings suffering to Seika. Not for angst, or  drama, but to emphasize that he wasn't just being a coward or cruel.

Thank for the update, really like this serie, i'm glad the manga continue the adaptation, hopefully we will get anime second season (even if the anime is subpar and miss more content compared to the manga) when there is enought source material.

At some point the girls will see too much and will end up being afraid of him. I think his past life will repeat in some way or another.

They keep asking him what does he want when he already told them he want them out of there

Seika made some good points there. Some that aren't getting explored enough in fantasy manga. Most "hero" MCs will have the power to save anyone and will want to save everyone. But they just can't be everywhere and do everything all at once.

Gonna be honest I was far more interested in the conflict between an MC who had already been OP and abused for it vs the traditional "hero" that wanted to save everyone in sight. He makes a good point early on about having the ability to do anything, but not being able to do everything, so where does he draw the line? He asks them bluntly and no one has an answer. They just skirt over it and pretend like this isn't a very real (and as a reader very intetesting) problem. Pretty disappointing to be honest.

The problem is that he doesn't have an answer either, other than just ignoring it. He's no better than them, just on the other side. But if he's thought about it, he should be.
