Japan, can we please just stop? That "just a regular human" line only works when the character IS A REGULAR HUMAN. It's so fucking cringy when all these transhuman motherfuckers, in this case a literal one, say that shit.
What does this Mel bitch mean by getting ntr'd? She was the one who did it the most in order to cozy up to Zect knowing that Zect would never even look at her
Lottery Writing: Reach into the box of random plot points and pull one out to progress the story.
Hero team is set up to fail big and get lambasted by leaders. Instead they're just let go with no repercussions (other than losing their hero privileges).
Hero team suddenly redeems themselves, accepting that Ceres is suddenly way better than they are (not just a great support guy), but not wanting Ceres to come save their asses.
We're waiting for the big reveal where hero team get hit in the face by finding that Ceres married their Moms... And Ceres just casually and uber-undramatically mentioning it to them in the middle of the big boss fight.
Ceres, who is supposed to be a pretty sharp guy, just waltzes in to fight big bad w/o the rest of his party.
Ceres is able to munch on demons to power himself up. BTW if he was stronger than the moms before, now he's even stronger.
Demon who is supposed to be disempowered by losing his horns, is now going to be empowered instead. (I guess he eats them or something.)
Ceres is about to +1 his harem when he hasn't even finished processing the previous +1 (princess).
Let me guess: Ceres is getting monsterized... but will be able to revert by banging his harem members.
So it's basically: Cringe + Kicked Out of Party + Harem + Sex + NTR + MILFs + Monsterization.
So, this other older heroine that they mentioned on the volume title page is going to drop in and try to attack Ceres since he's looking a bit monster-like right now isn't she?
Imagine being on death's door step, chained up and the big bad opp in front of you about to open that door, then outta nowhere the dude you kicked out randomly pulls up, not to save you specifically but to drop that info on you
Hold on a sec, gotta tell y'all something first, I'm your new stepdad
