only nia would have that kinda logic in her brain lol
I know I'm like, a no lifer when it comes to how many times I've played and reread parts of the story... but like... this meme says nothing about Nia's logic... And I get the impression a lot of people don't actually understand her logic at this point.
To Nia, at this point, the most she sees of MC is that he's better than her current master. Maybe, and this is a huge maybe, she has a little hope if you didn't accidentally expose the high elves, but that's not enough for her by a long shot. It's possible that she knew why that little competition got organized, but most of the reason she even gave this a chance is because Sylvia vouched for him. And she didn't really trust Sylvia's judgement. To her Sylvia is like an infant, in terms of understanding humans and the situation of slavery in Sylanar.
She goes into this fully expecting to have to violently coerce MC into doing what she needs. If anything Sylvia said was right, then for a human master, he is an ideal target for her to attempt to use in this way.
MC turning out to actually get it, and want to do what he can to help, that's the surprise. That's the strange logic being explored with this meme.
