The translation was sub-par, and the manga doesn't actually let us into the man's head all that much. You can't blame anyone for thinking this was entirely wholesome, with only the girl showing any interest in the guy. You really think it's unreasonable that we'd assume she's just falling for the one guy who was nice to her? I mean, he was even going to return her (Ow), and only decided against it when he found out she was going to be tortured to death.
But that's the thing; I just don't see how people are getting this idea.was entirely wholesome
The MC literally said that he could wait until she becomes a pretty woman in CH1. (And that's, again, ignoring every other aspect of this which isn't anywhere close to wholesome.)
Sure, he isn't attracted to her right now, but that's because of how her body looks (as evidenced in CH5). Even with the subpar translation, he already let us know that he has no problem seeing her as, at the very least, a bed partner.
He does care for her, obviously, and is making sure she has a happy environment around her. I understand this is where people might get the "Father-Daughter" idea, but this is more about him being a decent person to counter the entire bad reputation trope of the manga, rather than him trying to be a father. In my opinion, the manga has already let us know these two are the endgame, even with said translation.
