Think of her like Nisekoi's Ruri. It's a common character role. Heroine's best friend who's always pushing the heroine to get closer to the protagonist.

I think too many love interests would slow up the story, and individual romantic progression too much.

If he had 8 people, he would have himself, the 3 demi-humans he travels with currently, Kaori, 1 couple(male and female, for interest make one or both of them traps or reverse traps), and older 1 person who has a love interest outside of the adventuring group, but both of them still travel with the group.

I am not too crazy of the MC vacuuming up all the worthy girls, and it works better when he has a few attached guys he gets along with and are not part of the harem. It is also better if the other couples spend time trolling the MC on his either lack of progress or indecisiveness. You also hopefully get more progress and character growth with the girls, and not just introducing a new girl to fall each novel.

Well he only promised Aiko he would deliver him, no idea if he will just shoot him after some questioning.

No, it isn't confirmed yet. Only implied. Although there wasn't any real conspiring done yet. Shimizu(if it really was him) just blackmailed Daisuke into being his henchman in the future.

i'm not sure about that[since shimizu is typical of low tier subordinat[that could easily defeated]]. it's more like the one that blackmailed Daisuke is a spy in the bag of cat[someone who is sent by tha temple to infiltrate into their class without someone noticing his presence] and no one notice that there is actually one addition in their classmate.

I hate translating...

Spoiler for chapter 25:

2 months had passed since the night Yue showed Hajime her dignity as his elder and they had grown closer. Even Hajime, who had fought the ridiculous monsters of the abyss and had rebuilt his heart, was no match for her advances, chance of victory non-existent. Thus, Hajime made serious and accepted her.

From the start, Hajime knew about Yue's affection for him, and then there was the promise to take her with him to his hometown. His reason to resist her advances, namely that he shouldn't lower his guard until he achieved his objectives, was a brittle one, too. So when they had overcome the labyrinth and gotten their hands on a safe base and a clear guide on how to return home, he relaxed, and with his originally weak reason he couldn't resist Yue anymore, nor was there a reason to.

The two made full use of the facilities and spent days that would make onlookers want to scream "Riajuus should just explode!".

Hackjob, but it should get the point across.

[bakapervert]

^ Wow, is this just your trolling Kadi, or is that really happen? For such a decisive development to already happen...

So they did it?

[bakapervert]

So Hajime is already a confirmed lolicon. Shia, Kaori and Tio doesn't stand a chance.

[Kadi]

Yes, the strong implication is that they did it... unlike rabbits, actually, cause the rabbit doesn't get anything. Duhhh.


(Eat that, machine translations!!!)

[Kioras]

Thanks for the info Kadi, you just showed the one thing that would get edited out of a real release.

Will make things interesting when Kaori catch's up, as she is a suppressed yandere. Although she will likely be hopeless outclassed by other girls in level, power and closeness brought together by surviving trials in the dungeons.

How is Kaori doing power-wise? Any special skills?

[amatsunagi]

Spoiler:

Yue's position is Hajime's legal wife, I repeat, Legal wife (It's important). Hajime heart already set to Yue and he doesn't really care about the others. Now, this is where Yue comes in, she's the Harem manager. And thanks to her, As of lately, Hajime doesn't really resist Shia's advance (up to kissing and hugging, I guess).

[BW95]

Can someone elaborate on the circumstances under which Yue hit some guy in the balls with a rock spell?

I think it happened more than once, btw

The usual draft of random XX guy trying to hit on them and not taking a hint. Some of the guys use "cool" pick up lines like "be me girlfriend / slave / I'll buy you".

I think per the spoilers, she does not really rate well compared to Hajime's team. The hero team cleared down to where he fell too, and beat the Behemoth, but were no other spoilers. The team cleared to level ~67ish.

She is probably one of the top 8 power wise in the class, but that is nothing compared to Hajime's harem.

The real broken powers come from clearing a dungeon, or in Hajime's case, eating monster meat and surviving. Don't think she will have to do that, unless she is going to be railroaded onto the suffering train, like Hajime was in the past.

Kaori is more of a white mage so she can contribue to the team alone based on that. Also if she does join Hajime I'm pretty sure that she is going to eventually "get" something good as the other guys did.

I'm kinda interested to see if the author is going to have her current party clear the 100 floors (but they probably "won't get anything" outside evidence of Hajime's survival; I'm pretty sure "gifts" are a one time deal).

Spoiler:

As for Orcus dungeon, Oscar etched his recording in magic circle, along with the gift which can be used continuously, though only Hajime would find the gift useful.

[kazzuya13]

As things continues it will be likely that the one to be added last of his harem is Kaori. And I hope she didn't end up like Elis (Mushoku Tensei -Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu-) and when they reunited he will already have a kid or on the way.

Can someone describe Hajime's current outfit?

Spoiler for ...:

All I remember about it is that its all red and black, and that it has a coat of some sort. Yue made it somehow. She wanted to do all white, but Hajime figured that would be far too embarrassing with his already white hair.

I'm sure he has picked up other clothes since then, but I don't remember any other descriptions.
