"This change of direction makes my life a lot easier. I should be thankful to her."
I was merely pointing out the context of that one specific line, which makes more sense to mean the Ascians rather than the Ancients as a whole (as some people were reading it in EN), especially because Venat is an Ancient too.

Emet's 'reception' to her is a different topic as his dialog fluctuates even within the same language to the extent that it sounds like two different people wrote it. It's possible Ishikawa was trying to retain as much of Emet's personality as possible while being told by someone else what they wanted him to say (and we do know Yoshi-P is responsible for the 'bucket list'), but that's just my theory. He waffles between bitterness and praising her, so it's very odd and inconsistent.
