** Expressing her rage to her group about wanting Consevatie to die horribly in the hands of Siltvelt in chapter 130, she accidentally misleads her group into thinking she was going to take her plans in a literal form. In actuality, Mein only wants to keep Consevatie alive under the fear of a DeadMansSwitch threatening Raphtalia and Firo's life, before then taking the chance to have Consevatie killed.

** Naofumi saying the word, "plot armor", Mein is left confused as to what the word means, due to not understanding plot devices that happens in stories. When Naofumi gives short description to what plot armor means, Mein ends up being EntertaininglyWrong in thinking plot armor is a literal piece of armor Consevatie is wearing.
-->'''Malty/Mein's Thoughts:''' (That's very strong armor indeed, if Consevatie the Younger truly believes he is beyond hurt. Even mythically strong material, like mythril or titanite can't truly protect a wearer from all incoming damage.)

** Just as Naofumi suggests on killing Consevatie in chapter 130, Mein lets out a sudden BigNo, as if she does not want to murder the person she despises from her heart. To further clarify her disagreement with Naofumi, she only wants Consevatie alive to prevent him from becoming a DeadMansSwitch, or because she wants Consevatie to experience a CruelAndUsualDeath in the hands of Siltvelt.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Discussed. In how she wants Consevatie to suffer, Malty likes to hope his end to be gruesome as a form of payback to everything he had done to her and her party members. As such, anytime Consevatie is brought up in a discussion or implied to be responsible for something, Malty will curse him to die horribly in someway.
** Played for Laughs. Venting out her frustrations in wanting Consevatie's death to be done by Siltvelt, Mein accidentally gets her group members to be [[UniversalGroupReaction creeped out]] by her overly detailed rant on how she wishes the death to be orchestrated.

** Getting her BerserkButton pushed too many times of Naofumi being so desperate to be by her side at all times in chapter 130, Mein lashes out screaming to stop him from being so stubborn for her own safety, when what they need is to be independent of each other to save Balafon.

On the downside, however, Malty can also get experience points from the deaths of living beings such as humans, demi-humans, and Beastmen, which can make leveling up feel like having to carry on murders she got herself involved in.
** Hearing about Naofumi's plan being comparable to a guy named [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]], Mein thinks of the person to be a great military strategist that inspired Naofumi to think up excellent plans for her group against the Three Heroes Church. But now knowing who Lelouch is, Mein assumes him to be a real person, rather than someone found in a fictional anime series.
