To be clear, Merry wasn't raped. A man tried to assault her while she was drunk, but Kuzaku intervened. As far as it being "a cliché trope"... at least Grimgar didn't go the route of the MC saving the damsel, and she falls for him. In fact, Merry was pretty uncomfortable around Kuzaku for a while after that, and it took a few books before Haruhiro knew anything about it.
