Okay, wasn't TOO far off at least. It was a full on conspiracy against his family, but I still say the spirit guide guy is at fault for planting the seed of doubt and making blondie be antagonistic towards the original timeline MC instead of further investigating what happened
But genuinely feel like in the original timelime, the MC's downfall is partly due to that spirit guide guy.
He talks shit about the MC -> Blondie gets a negative view of MC -> confirmed by noble knight girl's circumstances -> proceeds to interfere with him and his business -> MC gets possessed by the demon.
As we see with red haired knight guy, doesn't seem like the demons are a "make a deal with us for power" kinda thing and more just "oh hey, that guy is going THROUGH it, time to possess them".
So in conclusion, FUCK that spirit guide
