Monster Girl Quest Paradox/Funny

• Ilias' constant suggestions on what to do with monsters are a constant source of Black Comedy. For example, she advises Luka to kill an imp in a farmer's field and bury her, so her blood fertilizes the strawberries.
• Sonya's Clingy Jealous Girl moments. One example can be seen near the beginning, where a girl near Luka's inn makes a suggestive comment about its owner. Sonya responds with a succinct "Leave. Never come back".
• Prior to your first meeting with Nero, if you go out of your way to avoid the shifty stranger approaching at high speed, he'll eventually resort to stopping time to catch up.
• Rami's sidequest involves her learning how to fly, something she is uniquely unable to do thanks to her oversized breasts. She does this by throwing herself off the summits of mountains, and crashing unharmed thanks to the same oversized breasts. On top of that, this causes her to learn abilities that increase her defense.
• In Harpy Village, examining the abandoned houses will have your party members comment on how strangely organised they are. After you talk to Nero at the top, it's revealed that he was the one who tidied things up. This includes arranging books in alphabetical order and tuning a piano.
• The entirety of the Haunted Mansion:
  • The ghosts in the kitchen, who will immediately attack if you touch the cake they're preparing.
  • The dining room full of all kinds of undead. When you enter, the lights go out intermittently, leading to scenes where your party members are surrounded by undead and absolutely terrified.
  • The zombies in the basement are dancing to none other than Michael Jackson's Thriller. Unlike the other examples, you don't need to fight them to complete the mansion's sidequest, so you can leave them to dance forever.
  • And of course everything to do with Chrome. When she flees via a secret passageway, you can easily find it because she left a note on it lying around (protected by a code only a child would use). When she attempts to drop the party with a hidden trapdoor, she doesn't realize that she's the one standing on it. When she orders her zombies to throw 'them' out, they throw her out of the room instead.
• The reason Justice Kaiser wants the party to handle Eva is because she can't do it herself, as her costume means she quickly overheats if she exerts herself. Sonya repeatedly points out that she could just take the costume off, only to be repeatedly ignored.
• Saki's influence over the population of Grandeur is so strong, that random citizens (even the city guards) will pepper their speech with words like "sparkle".
• Gnome and Nuruko make friends with each other. But they're both examples of The Unintelligible, and they don't mutually understand each other. Instead, Sylph has to interpret for Gnome while Sonya has to interpret for Nuruko. Luka even lampshades how strange this is.
• Bonnie, the incompetent captain of the Fishy Pirates. She's the mermaid counterpart to Rami, being unable to swim as her breasts are too buoyant and throw off her balance. When you first meet her, a Nekomata is sitting in the captain's chair while Bonnie herself is in the ship's food stores, snacking away. If you choose to side with the pirates, you find her doing this again. Both times, her subordinate Ashel complains about this.
• The members of Black Alice's faction are imposing when first introduced, but when you get to know them...
  • Sun Wukong is sent to recruit the minotaur race. However, the Cow Demon Queen has put on a sukiyaki buffet in order to attract minotaurs to her cause, and Sun Wukong forgets her mission and gorges herself on the sukiyaki. When you meet her, she accidentally explains her mission, then challenges the party to a fight. After losing, she claims she must have eaten too much sukiyaki and runs away.
  • Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca absolutely hate each other, preventing them from properly carrying out Black Alice's orders. When sent to recruit the plant and insect races, they argue with each other and eventually they each take command of one race and send it to attack the other. The fights between the two mythical monsters are illustrated with cartoonish pictures, one of which has Tezcatlipoca Flipping the Bird at Quetzalcoatl. If you choose the option of bringing about peace between the plants and insects, one reason why the plant and insect leaders agree is to avoid being seen as undignified as these two.
• Speaking of Sun Wukong, the entire Minotaur sidequest. From the Demon Cow Queen setting an obvious "sukiyaki party" trap to unite all Minotaurs, to the revelation that there was no trap at all, to the aforementioned antics of Sun Wukong, finally ending with Demon Cow Queen's plans being foiled by her own lack of foresight and Sun Wukong eating her entire supply of food. Ilias sums it up perfectly:

"In the end, the problem solved itself because everyone involved was an idiot."

• After Grangold Castle collapses, the party laments the deaths of those inside, including Tamamo, Alma Elma, Nero and Neris. Then these four appear, completely unharmed, and reveal that they rescued everyone else as well.
• The Beelzebubs, three legendary monsters of ancient times sealed away by magic, manage to escape after being defeated by the party and head straight to a human town of Grangold to terrorize the populace... which is completely unfazed by them due to far more shocking recent events. The Beelzebubs are so depressed by the turn of events that they just go to Yamaitai and quietly start eating takoyaki amongst the locals.
• The elf princess is unmarried due to having a very specific standard for men. When Luka's party wants to meet the princess, the Queen Elf sends an image of Luka's face over... and she falls in love with him at first sight, agreeing to the meeting. There, she doesn't show her face, instead remaining behind a screen and having a servant handle all of the interaction. The princess not only hands over the orb he's after, but also a lot of other gifts including a legendary sword. Several party members find this disturbing, especially Sonya. Eventually, Sonya is fed up with it and confronts her newfound rival personally.
