I think you take Meji earlier reaction a little too strongly.
##################
For the last 14 years, Meji had been an outcast due to her nature, all this time and she dreamed of the day when her father will come, to find someone that look like her, who will make her feel she is part of something bigger than just herself alone.
We know that not the case, but if you look our history, you will see that was the same dream that had all those americano-asian child after the vietnam war, when peoples rejeted them because they where "occidental" (and here they where rejected because they where viet).
So this is about a child 14 years old constant dream for her.
Suddenly she meet her first half-elf, in the 2 first days they are together the half-elf tell her that her dad will kill her or having her executed.
It's like having someone telling you that you loved father was a higt SS rank in the nazi germany, or a fist assassin of one of the biggest drug organisation of some south america prince, when all you seen in him is dream, tenderness and care for you.
After that you get attact by a troup of elf. if fact, people tell you that you were attact by a bunch of elf: you were inconcious fron the start to the finish, and you have lost the only other half-elf that you know.
And you r oblige to travel with an elf... OF COURSE everything that happen lately will come out and you will throw that at her face, that's normal.
But you get separated from her, find your half-elf back, blablablabla... and get back home. where you spen your time in you bed depressing yourself about yourself.
The last two week seems out of time and reallity. Yeah you remember everything that what said and what happened... but that seems so far away of the life in Tsuiraku...
And suddenly the event, the moment that you have been dreaming for the last 14 years in about too happen! Yeah sure you heard all the warning, the encounter with the elves (that you have seen at all) and all the blablabla, but HE IS YOUR FATHER! Surely it must be something in his blood that will tell him that you are the same, sharing the same nature.
You have grow-up watching all those other kids around having their father taking care of them with love, with attention, with affection. Why YOUR DAD would be diferent? No matter what people told you, people that you knew just for days, come-on, you have dream so much of that moment, they must be wrong, they must don't realise that he is your dad, he will make thing work alright! You know that, deeply inside of you, somewhere whithin those 14 years of dream, hope and suffering, he cannot be the imminent life danger that people try to describe to you, you know that!

I must say I'm more surprise at you being surprise at her.
