In the game, this sequence was presented as if Malleus' random thought was just coincidentally helpful to Yuu, but in the manga they revised it to Malleus actually helping Yuu without giving him the real answer. I think I prefer the manga interpretation because it's in line with him acting like a king who only gives guidance while letting his subjects grow with their own power.
And also the way he's describing the gargoyles as an allegory to himself... Damn.
I love how Malleus is misunderstood in the truest of sense not because he's a typical kuudere who likes animals but just happened to always pick the most offensive language known to mankind every time he wants to praise the mc, but because people are literally making up shit about him that he's never done before.
"He'll kill you on sight," "He eats babies for breakfast," but when you meet him he's a genuinely happy person. Like, not even because you accidentally triggered his gap moe and you see the golden heart he's purposely hidden from the world because of trauma or some edgy crap. Literally just someone who smiles the entire time he's talking to you and guffaws at your jokes and gets excited at the thought of going to places with you.
Like, that's not a kuudere, that's a normal person.
And it's not even that he doesn't have trauma. My guy accidentally got cursed by his own mom. It's just that he thinks the prospect of a precious present moment weighs so much more to him than a past he has no control over.
