I won't say it didn't contribute at all, my main issue is when it's in the context of "bad things she did" because it feels like victim blaming to a really harsh degree. I'll have no issue when it's used in investigative and "good things she did" contexts.

I personally also think that Denys and Katy's reputation forcing Misty Night to back off without a fight save Bachelle in the long run and the restaurant in the short run (I doubt Denys and the Misty Nights can work out a good deal, so there will probably some broken furnitures when the talk's over).
She has done zero good things throughout the entire manga.
  • She looked the other way the entire time he was abused and mistreated as a member of the guild
  • She attempted to goad him back into that environment by using her friendship as a lure
  • She looked the other way regarding all of the crimes the guild committed
  • She joined up with a group that's been poisoning the king in preparation for a coup
  • She aided in the capture and confinement of her supposed friend on the orders of the aforementioned group
  • She attempted to kill her supposed friend's mother

What do you mean she abandoned the things she loved? That crimson is such a stupid bitch, that mom saved the most important things and left the mundane things for her son. Stupid remark after getting spoilt lol

Well, with what's shown, her ability might not be the direct type. Since she did say bikini was right and she was buying time.

I think the bigger question mark is bikini actually believing she have the upper hand because she's a combat class when that bloody 100 level cook Denny trashed her previous boss.
Well Denny is practically invincible within the bounds of his restaurant.

we already know that she will get the 2nd chance, she will help Dennys by the end of this arc and nobody will question the shit she pulled before.

also the mom getting defeated so easily, kind of weird as the difference between a lvl 100 and even a lvl 99 was too big and b!tch is 90 (wasn't she lvl87 at the start?)
She was defeated easily because she isn't like Denys, she's a chef first, fighter second.

I don't get it. Is the editor in love with the character and wants her in every panel and her honor restored by the end of this arc? Is this a thinly veiled Tanuki reference from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun?
Damn, that's a bit of a deep cut with that joke there. Well done.

"Responsibilities and people you want to protect", guess that Bitch pretty much admited to never caring about Denys, since she's willing to literally kill him for some strangers 🫡

If she gets a second chance this Manga failed massively, more so than it already did 😶
I literally shouted "Yes, she does, it's HER SON, you miserable excuse for a human being!!!!" (well, the last part might have been a "tad" harsher) at the screen when she said that.

It's the difference in skills, the mother is only skilled in cooking while the traitor is skilled in combat.

So let's see here. Bikini has :
  • Refused to officially side with MC when he got kicked out (yes she was away at the time and got angry that he left without putting up a fight but she could've just quit and followed him if she truly cared) [Ch.1]
  • Revealed MC's past that he was trying to conceal (his being a former member of the SWT) [Ch. 6] which contributed to his shop (with several priceless, one-of-a-kind tomes) getting burned down (which she has also partially taken responsibility for, i.e. complicity by inaction) [Ch.11]
  • Tried to guilt him into coming back into the party she explicitly knew was and outright decried as poorly led by a commander of dubious skill and sanity (her argument was that he wouldn't be able to level up by caring for his store) [Ch. 6]
  • Got "cold feet" when MC was getting his ass whooped by the commander, despite claiming she would step in to help if he was about to lose (mom called her out on it), which forced him into levelling up (rendering the previous point's original argument moot) [Ch.17]
    • corollary : the commander had to be removed by MC, not her, so she couldn't even take care of the party she sacrificed everyone and everything for
  • Did not defend him as he was getting falsely arrested by her client [Ch.34]
  • Outright called him "no longer my friend" and watched him get tortured [Ch.35]
  • Defended Isabella from Jean who was trying to rescue her son[Ch. 37]
  • Knowingly and willingly aided and abetted a coup attempt against the rulers (AKA high treason) [Ch.44-now] because "I can't abandon those girls." and justified her treatment of Denys with, and I quote : "That time, I already asked you to come back and you refused. So don't think badly of me."
  • And now, utterly defeated, tried to paint Jean as being selfish for helping the person she cares about most (and is once again called out on it by mom).
All she has done for MC is oppose him (directly or indirectly), ignore his plight and even actively participate in it and overall refuse to side with him at every turn despite him still helping her out whenever he can. With friends like these...
I can't accept in good faith that she'll be forgiven in a few chapters.

Was Denys not part of that party? Was he not a comrade of hers? If he was so important to her, how the hell do you justify EVERYTHING I've just listed? At ANY point she could've said "fuck this, he matters to me", dropped everything and helped him, like Jean and Atorie did a few chapters ago (Jean quit her position and Atorie reclaimed her family name and responsibilities). But she didn't. They'll be better people than I to forgive someone like that; someone pulled all that shit on me, that's an opp, not someone I'd forgive.
Hey, she did ONE good thing... She gave mom a great new look (I like short hair).
