From what I recall of the LN, Earth actually does understand that he's brought everything upon himself. In terms of his "tantrum," I think it was a matter of a poor translation from novel into manga. In the LN, it was more like being made wanted was the "final straw" that led him to demand the...
@kur0g4m1 Yup. In the LN translations (by whom they were made, I forget), they correctly use "composite" for the X-bow in reference to the different materials the bow is made out of. Of course, if you don't know the meanings of the words (like myself, in years past) it's an easy mistake to make...
Eliza's logic still baffles me.
Earth: "Seeing once it better than being told 1000 times."
Eliza: "Aren't you one of those [people who are all talk]."
I mean, really. They practically said the same thing: "Actions speak louder than words." Except, Eliza, for whatever reason, tried to mock him...

His first thought after finding this world's money is to forge it... And he says he isn't evil. Well, whatever he is he can't be much above true neutral.

Oh well, looks like we got another Bakarina on our hands. And I thought this time they would actually play the villain. Oh well, accidental Tsundere seems interesting enough.
I just realized that "It is for my sake," might be a pun... But since this is a translation, it might be an unintentional one that only works in English.
