Melli is certainly an unfriendly and verbosely offensive character. However, he plays a fundamental role of opposition to the protagonist.

In legends, you are a stranger who came from an extremely suspicious place, and who, therefore, has to prove your usefulness and suitability for the locals, as Kamado himself says.

However, in practice, you are quickly accepted and liked by the game's characters, with the exception of the pretentious Melli, who will annoy you as much as possible until you convince him of your worth.

Furthermore, Melli is so overly smug, even when his inferiority is apparent or his stance unreasonable, that, instead of sounding offensive, the character seems idiotically funny. His apologies and justifications when he recognizes the value of the protanist, who just saved the day, always makes me smirk, as well as his temperate complaints about being left out.

In short, he plays both his role as guardian and the role that the "bad girls" are supposed to play, namely, to represent a senseless and funny antagonism.
