this is just my opinion on your opinions as a weird individual
1. That would kinda frick up him being such a powerful magician
2 that's a bit too much like normal trope plot
3 it feels like he's being a better person if he's liking her hobbies and talking about it with her
4 the MC is a bit of a scumbag. This is a drove game he's in. Who wouldn't try to go all hare
