The idea of "no strings attached" or "lets agree no jealousy" is a completely vapid idea in a non-ntr outcome harem game because it carries no weight. I'm not suggesting BaD should have those things, it's good the way it is, but it's super silly to talk about "Whether they take advantage of it or not is not relevant" or " jealousy is on display a few times" when by the games design itself, we all know making the wrong design WONT result in MC coming home to find Maya banging a random Alpha.No, but it does mean "you keep your fucking pie hole shut, who or what I am doing is none of your fucking business".
They had an opportunity to make demands upon the condition of their relationship. They chose no strings. They wanted to also be free to do whatever. Whether they take advantage of it or not is not relevant.
And I think to some degree they regret it, as their limited jealousy is on display a few times before the decision stage comes in episode 8. Either way, they gave tacit approval for the MC to be fooling around with others, and have no right to be bitter about him doing precisely that.
Of course, to be purely sexist, when would a woman care about that logic?
No strings attached/no jealousy in this context really just means "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine." -
tldr: discussion of any kind of real relationship dynamics are quite silly in a harem game. (and thats okay! I still love this type of game!)
