I don't defend Ari, because what she is doing is wrong; But let's just recap how Ari sees it.
- She always wanted to be Leon's Guild Adventurer, that was her dream.
- She gets denied by Leon, and after that, gets attacked by a Demon and loses her partner.
- Leticia tells them that Leon was the one that caused all of that to keep them out of the town/house. Ari loses all hope in
guilds,
adventurers, and "All that shit". "They are all the same", she thinks.
- They need to move from that town. Maria appears giving them a chance to go to the same town she's going to. Ari doesn't want to move.
- Ari starts training with Leticia and Narissa (The Demon) tells her she wants to help and that her partner is alive and is in that same town Maria is going to live. Ari doesn't believe it but she has nothing to lose.
- She accepts, and they go to where the Hero lives, After being attacked, Ari wakes up in the middle of a
GUILD, greeted by
AN ADVENTURER.
- Ari feels betrayed by Narissa
(Because they were attacked) and just stands up to leave, ignoring Lucy,
AN ADVENTURER, completely.
-
AN ADVENTURER (Lucy), mentions Ari's partner. Ari's mind just goes crazy.
Everyone reminds her of his partner, and everyone betrays her.
- Ari sees that MC is alive. Ari's mind does *Click* again, rethinks everything. The demon was saying the truth and her partner is now everything she hates. A
Hero of a
Guild full of
Adventurers.
She will do her best to believe and trust those her partner believes and trusts. But she has her doubts.
That's how Ari sees it, give her some time and she might learn.
If not, she will learn it the hard way.
EDIT: the cockblocks are not something intentional Ari is doing, but I understand why people think so
