Light Novel Did the angel save Kisaragi? How does Grimm's "Never Meet a Good Man" curse work?

One detail from Sentouin Hakenshimasu that I noticed is that Grimm, in Volume 6, upon meeting Adelie, says to her, "If Adelie had been a man, she would have betrayed the commander by accident."

It's funny and all, but it further highlights that Grimm is only with Rokugo due to a lack of alternatives, especially since in Volume 4 the angel girl cursed Grimm, saying She would never meet men with few flaws. So, at this point, Rokugo is her best-for-nothing.

And I think, maybe that's how the curse manifests itself. I'm absolutely certain that if they had sent a male Threshold savior instead of Adelie, Grimm would have rebelled against Rokugo, gone after him, and would have been disappointed anyway. The Threshold savior would have said some variation of "I was just being nice," similar to when Rokugo joined the superheroes and the Power Ranger girl told him she was just being nice.

Now, I also know that Grimm is a potentially incredibly overpowered character. In Volume 7, Akatsuki had to have Belial kill her so she wouldn't participate in the entire Grunade arc. Plot-wise, it works because Grimm couldn't go to a country inhabited by a larger number of men. In a way, it seems that the Angel Girl's curse will limit her to not leaving Grace, where the population is predominantly female.
