Monster Girl Quest/Heartwarming

Chapter One

When the ghosts begin to haunt San Iria after you free them from the mansion, it starts out as a Crowning Moment of Funny. However, when two children are playing tag with a ghost kid, it instantly becomes this.
When Alice tells Luka to snap out of his Death Seeker tendencies since what his father did is not his fault and that Luka has no obligation to sacrifice his life for his father's crime of creating Illias Creutz.
- Similarly, when he wonders if he'll become like Lily, Alice is quick to reassure him that he's a much better person than he fears.
What the Fairies decided to pray for, after seeing humans praying in a church: "Dear God thingy on a cloud. Please let the humans be happy and help the flowers bloom." Adorable!
The fact that some of the supposedly dangerous monster girls are actually willing to cooperate can sometimes make for wonderful scenes. This troper is particularly reminded of the co-existence between humans and mermaids in the game.

Chapter Two

Luka buying Alice the ribbon she wanted in Grand Noah, which she then wears on her tail for the rest of the game.
Alice playing in the snow of the Yamatai Mountains, especially since she's never seen any in her life before.
The Ant Girls who had been treated as slaves start rebelling, and you're given a choice to turn around and walk away or save the city. Alice points out that the humans definitely brought it on themselves, but when Luka decides to save the city anyway, she smiles.
Towards the end of the game Luka discovers that his father was actually killed by Lazarus rather than by a monster. After almost killing Lazarus in revenge, Luka begins to break down and question his convictions about a world where humans and monsters can live together. Alice listens to him patiently, then reassures him that he is a true Hero. It's particularly powerful considering that Alice has always refered to Luka mockingly as a 'Fake Hero' for the entirety of the story until that moment.
- Immediately after that, Alice forces herself on Luka again, as she has numerous times before- only this time she's decided to actually take his virginity before they head to the final area. She does at least transform into her human form so she can have sex with him without technically breaking the taboo about "having sex with monsters", but it's still the usual more-or-less nonconsensual affair she's been forcing on him since they first met. The Heartwarming part comes after you're done, when she admits to Luka that as well as taking his virginity she'd actually given him hers as well.
  - Doubly poignant, verging on a Tear Jerker, when you realise that she knew this was her last chance to be with Luka before she forced him to kill her to bring peace to the world.
Luka not killing Alice at the end of the Part 2.

Chapter Three

Lazarus' final request as he succumbs to his injuries from using Salamander is to be buried beside Marcellus. Luka still cannot bring himself to forgive Lazarus for killing his father, but acknowledges that Lazarus' final act was to defend the besieged Gold Port, and decides to honor this request.
After her defeat, Ilias realizes that she had been too preoccupied with being acknowledged by her people, rather than being a benevolent God who watches over the world. With the last of her power, she restores Luka's body that had been eroded by his use of holy power as a means of congratulating the hero who saved the world, while finally acknowledging him as a True Hero.
