Imperial Oni is defo still a shady MF but at the same time I wouldn't exactly be willing to lend a hand to the person who decided to ally with someone who is determined to wipe out my species to the very last person either then just casually waltzes up to me for a favor if I was in his situation as well so yeah.
He's a douche but well I don't really begrudge his actions or rather his inaction this chapter either.
Granted his inaction is probably hurting the goal of "cooperation" (though it may actually be aiding it depending on how exactly he defines it).
Regardless I'm expecting the Imperial Mask Oni God to bail out Hawson since she seemed to take an interest in him.
