Being chummy with mercs who accepted a contract to murder merchants :question:
Ironically thats pretty realistic. They didnt had anything personal against them they are paid soldiers that do the jobs they are asked for, some mercenary groups even refused to raid villages unless it were extremely advantageous to them since by doing so they risked burning bridges with another faction.

Many successful mercenary groups followed the idea of "the enemy of yesterday might be the friend of today/tomorrow" unlike the regular army that as long as it was justified or just the superiors werent looking that way it was okay to do as they pleased. Mercenary groups lived and died by their reputation after all

Of course there were mercenary groups that were basically better armed/trained brigands, but those often ended executed sooner than later as one of many bandit groups after making enough trouble and having nowhere to run

It’s one thing to share the princess' bigotry.

It's one thing to "love" that princess.

But when she openly disdains you like that, I don't fully understand why his loyalty is that strong.

Because of course the princess who summoned you is the correct person to follow, right?
To be fair, that's been a pretty common isekai trope where the summoned follow royalty blindly, usually with some promise to be married to the princess or something.

In any case, it's also proof of the princess' cunning, as she certainly would try to either pull the MC over to her side, or to ensure he doesn't get in her way.

If a merchant is that powerful and is threatening somebody with real power not just money to their face, wouldn't the easiest solution be to kill the merchant and at the ceremony throw it at the princess then kill her? Sure it will destabilize this other country but they are your enemy and not your problem

Seriously, we really need a backstory or something on why that Princess hates the Demi-Humans.

I mean, does she have a specific backstory with them which caused her to hate them.

Or is she a reincarnate of some sort with issues with Demi-Humans from past life.
I mean, racist people irl don't really need a reason to be racist so.... some people are just assholes like that I guess

Even racist people have some reasoning behind why they are like that.

Like the British & Christian Priest, they went around the world colonizing various regions because they believed themselves to be superior and what they know or follow is the ideal knowledge.

Even the religion conversion aspect (in many regions forced) was on the basis of a racist notion that other cultures and religions are backward or barbaric.

Fair-skinned believed themselves to be superior because, Gods & Angels had been depicted to be fairest, aka., those who have fair skin are holy-like. While those who had different shade skin color were showcased evil, aka., something to look down upon.

Similarly, there needs to be a basis even if it is convoluted or made-up for hatred, because anything without reason can't exist for long.

My best guess is that is something like, "they have beast like features, so they must be inferior savages" must have been spread in the country in some way in the past and people accepted that

Thanks for the translation but I'm out. Kinda getting tired of plots where the MC is made a bitch by some new super duper competent all knowing adversary.

yeah he could have just bitchslapped the wise merchant, would have been funny, like... "that's a nice story about the OG hero you're saying... you know I can do the same and why did he took this place in the past? ahh right they wronged him, so tell me wise merchant what are you trying to do now while faking your knowledge about us getting attacked??"
It's really not that outta the MC after all he has been pulling and how he's getting tired of their shit (also getting close to a berserk himself)

Well, is not like the MC is a expert politician. The MC excels in combat oriented aspects but is not the kind of "master of all MC" which would be quite boring honestly.

The MC is extremely powerful combat wise so they are gonna try to blindside him in other ways besides combat. People is not so stupid to brute force their way against someone who could laid waste to an entire city by himself at least until they have a hero that can get rid of him which seems unlikely as hes basicaly the strongest character currently and even the other hero is still lagging behind despite being quite strong
