Imagine being such a beta male that you have to sneak out instead of telling them that you're flat out leaving and just leaving through the front door.
@TehSDragon manga started bi weekly/bi monthly (twice a month), but now is weekly since february, the translation is just kinda behind since latest chapter currently in raws is 33
I mean even beta can tell that he is going out instead of sneaking. He owes them nothing, it is they who owe MC. Please give me a reason why he can't leave WHEN HE WANT'S TO?
This is plain stupid.
@Akabane It's almost like the old "don't help them if you aren't ready to accept responsibility for them until they can take care of themselves". I guess normally that would refer to animals, realistically, but sometimes in fiction you see it used to refer to humans (or equivalent) as well. It's kind of cold, true neutral at least. In other words, if he doesn't want to keep looking after the girls for all eternity, he should have just left them in the forest, to who knows what dire fate. That's the kind of impression this setting is giving me. Who would view that as a healthy thing, huh? It's like he owes the girls for helping them, not the other way around.
