The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary Chapter 37 Discussion

Main character is a typical Japanese arc type. He's a strong famous mercenary but has no money, and when a pushy woman comes around he just follows her instructions.

The woman is crafty? She realizes she's physically weak but to achieve her goals needs the main character and uses money to keep him in her pocket. Whether it's weapons, armor, lodgings, she covers it knowing that a female would like her would get taken advantage of in many ways if she didn't have muscle behind her. It's really annoying because most of this comes at the end of the first volume and if I knew that's how she would be I would have skipped this.
