Amanogawa looked at Kaori in disbelief. "Kaori, now is not the time to be joking."
"Kouki, I would never joke about such things!" Kaori was still mad from what she had just heard and snapped at her childhood friend. "So shut up while I am asking this bastard over here questions!"
"Ah…." Kouki lowered his head. Suzu, who was at the side, tried to hide her smile. She never cared too much for this man who always thought he was right. Even Kouki's best friend knew when to stay quiet, so he could only shake his head. He was surprised by the sudden declaration, but he did not dare say anything.
"Kaori, now is not the time to deal with this. For now, let me handle Miss Demon over there." Tomoya found the whole situation funny. She had never thought that Kaori, in this version of the novel's timeline, would be a lesbian. But when she thought about it, in how she had taken Hajime's place, it made sense. In fact, it also made things much easier for her.
"Right…." Kaori glared at Daisuke before backing down. She would make sure to deal with him properly later.
"Now then…. Sorry to keep you waiting." Tomoya tilted her head back and looked at the tanned young woman not too far away.
"You…." The demon woman was sweating from head to toe. Before she could even react, all her monsters were dead. Even the bird whose only job was healing had died. What scared her the most was that the one who did it did not even look at what she was doing. It was as if the world was nothing to her.
"Yes, I am me. I know this. But let me tell you this now. I promise not to kill you as long as you leave this place. I do not wish to kill demons, nor do I wish to get into any kind of war. To me, demons are just like everyone else, whether they are human or beastkin. We are all the same in most aspects. This is why I did not aim for you while I killed your monsters." Tomoya really did not wish to kill this woman. Mainly because it would bring her too much trouble, so she hoped that this woman would back down this time.
"I…." The demon woman blushed. She did not know why, that when looking at Tomoya, her heart kept beating faster and faster. This was, of course, due to Tomoya's charm stat causing the demon woman's reaction to Tomoya. "I will let you all live this time!" The demon woman shouted before turning and running away.
Tomoya chuckled. The fact that she used such a cliche line was comical in itself. "Now then! How is Meld?" Tomoya asked as he looked at Aiko.
"He will make it. But it will not be easy to move him just yet. We need a little longer." Aiko replied. Her eyes never looked up at Tomoya as she did her best to heal Meld.
"Then, my sweet Aiko. I will leave it to you." Tomoya replied with a smile, causing everyone other than her waifus to look at him strangely.
"Tomoya…. Why does it sound like you are hitting on Sensei!?" Kaori's yandere side began to surface.
"Papamama, that lady is looking scary." Myu hugged Tomoya's neck and buried her face into it.
"Papamama….. Sakagami Tomoya, please tell me why she is calling you by such a weird name!" Kaori stepped forward and was about to go off when Shizuku quickly stopped her. "Shizuku, why are you holding me back? I need to ask what is going on!"
"Kaori, calm down!" Shizuku blushed as she lifted her eyes ever so slightly to look at Tomoya, who was just smiling away.
"Kaori, I will explain after, but first…. Let me deal with this person." Tomoya turned and grinned at Hiyama, who cried out and fell backward as Tomoya's sword suddenly stabbed the ground all around him.
"Don't kill me!" Daisuke cried out in fear. Sweat dripped down his back as he stared at the metal blades that were surrounding him.
"Heh…. Kill you? But didn't you try to kill me? You sent me to the fucking bottom of the abyss. But you want to live? Why? So you can try to rape Kaori? Because in your little feeble little mind, you think you are some kind of casanova that once Kaori no longer has me around, she will look your way? Are you fucking stupid!? You know I have a very bad temper. One that when people try to fuck with my women, I have this urge to cut their balls and peckers off. So congratulations, Hiyama, you have just earned yourself a free sex change!" Tomoya did not even turn to look as a blade branched out and sliced through the spot between Hiyama's legs. Hiyama didn't even scream as he fainted.
"Tomo…." Yuka walked over and rubbed Tomoya's back. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just hate fuckers who think they can do as they please when they do not know shit!" Tomoya snorted. He then rubbed the top of Yuka's head, making her squint her eyes. "Thanks. But please rest a little."
"I am still in the early stage. Why are you being so overprotective?" Yuka blushed and rubbed her belly. The warm smile on her face could not be hidden.
Kaori, who witnessed all this, walked over, not caring for the bleeding Hiyama at all as she stared at Tomoya with wide eyes that looked a little crazed. "To… Mo… Ya… Care to explain why she is rubbing her belly as if she was pregnant!?"
Tomoya did not know whether to laugh or cry since Kaori seemed to be overlooking the fact that she was a girl. But since it was indeed her child, she could only embarrassingly rub her nose and say: "Because Yuka is carrying my little one?"
