OHHHHHH... She's sexy.
And sucks to be you, hero! Your now the foxy-big-sisters plaything.
As for the ninja, recruit her.

@Salfaro: Hah, I'd assumed she did realize and was just being quiet because she can't be bothered to deal with however the heck her insufferable team-mates would react to it (as with her not mentioning the hero's fall from grace. Like, it would seem likely she knew he didn't know, but felt he should have known, that he was brings this upon himself, and that anyway there was no saving him by telling him because he's gone off the deep end anyway).
If indeed she didn't and won't even try to check, that will be quite a plot-hole right there. Not that that terribly matters for this sort of series, I suppose.
@Capt_Gigglepants: It's not so much that it's original—lots of more serious series have applied the principle, and it's an age-old idea (and sort of originally fundamental to the idea of a divine-backed hero, although perhaps not always to their equipment per se). Rather, it's more that "hur durr heros be dumb" and "demons are the nicer ones" plots, like this one, are usually invested in the idea that the inherent virtue of heroes is fundamentally a sham. This posits that heroes actually are fundamentally on the side of good (or else they effectively cease to become heroes). Which says very interesting things about the position our protagonist is in (though no one has yet said the demons don't also have "good guys only" benefits hanging around. But if the incentives for good are better for humans than for demons, yet everyone can still choose to be good or evil, the implications are actually quite interesting)
Either way, keeping some basic black-and-white morality intact here, also increases my hopes that our protagonist isn't going to suddenly go on an edge-lord murder-rampage later, as such protagonists are so prone to blindside me and do out of the blue in this sort of series. XD Though I'm still not discounting the possibility. >_>;
