i think he's trying to figure out how to untwist their ugly fate which is MC inevitably going to turn into the Hero and ML knew this will happen- ML losing his mind whenever he sees MC. so he's looking for solutions how to undo this while lovking up MC so he doesnt run away while he figures it out. but he gotta communicate it fr

Same but the demons seem evil to me . They took over some human bodies and destroyed some souls but we are just pretending they didn’t. Phelan doesn’t want power but chooses to become demon king even though he was strong enough without the power boost. I don’t see the math matching. Plus I have yet to see their civilization in that wasteland. Can the mc do some more exploring I’m not convinced we can live in harmony

I think the reason why they couldn’t tell Mc that he’ll be the Hero is because of the amnesia thing, if you recall pre-Hero how he literally forgot his convo with Nine as soon as he said one of his past names. About Phelan, I think it’s to keep the demons from starting something and to keep the demon realm in check but honestly yeah now that Mc’s on par with him, Phelan should show a bit more respect to his man
I really like their dynamic and Yuma is a great MC but I'm getting so frustrated at Phelan's completely needless deception??? I know it's a trope of this genre but man is it fucking annoying how it turned their top tier relationship to just good enough if I ignore all of Phelan's fuck ups, which were not even that in character. Idk sometimes authors really shoot themselves in the foot by following tropes.
