I think Rona is making a horribly bad call here. The gain of getting Makoto aligned with the demons would be worth basically anything. Whatever the end game of her plan is here it's not worth pissing Makoto off. And she's pretty much royally doing that right now. Now she doesn't quite have the full picture. Honestly she's worried about Shiki still which is a hilarious worry considering what Makoto actually has up his sleeve. But she's gotten one chance to make a good impression and has royally blown it here. Basically took a winning lottery ticket and set it on fire!
Kind of surprised that guy had any connection to Hibiki. Too bad he really screwed things up and let himself get suckered by the demons. He's almost certainly going to die here with all his regrets left hanging. I don't feel that bad for him since the flashback version of him is pretty well contrasted to the jerk we saw most times he showed up. It wasn't all the demons. He made bad decisions himself. He's not the biggest scumbag we've seen this season. But he really put himself into a hole that he's not getting out of.
Kind of wonder where things will go with Makoto. His business career is in a messy spot. The Demons are suddenly a far less appetizing group to deal with too. Maybe this is all pushing him towards that nation welcoming isekai characters  . It's about the only one not actively angering him right now. He could just pull back to the demiplane. I know he wants to travel and learn about his parents though. And it probably is easier to ask for information when he's got a public identity to open some doors. But at this rate he's going to just want to go to war with everyone . |
Let me provide some perspective: All of her creations that she considered inferior are persecuted by the Goddess and her Hyumans, thus most were banished to the wasteland or forced to hide in the wilderness. The reason the Demons are hated is because they were the race who refused to be enslaved or persecuted and instead chose to start their own civilization.
The Goddess was furious and began directly blessing her hyumans to give them more power so they could wipe out those who defied her will. Apparently the demons are steadily going extinct as a result, which is why they have NO empathy or mercy towards their oppressors.
Makoto is mostly neutral. With good reason since neither side of the conflict is relevant to him. The Goddess spread her teachings and ingrained them in hyuman culture, meaning she is responsible for the war. I think her summoning of heroes was in an attempt to end it in her favor. However, her rejection of Makoto may ultimately prove to be her undoing IF he ever picks a side.
