In the lobby of the hotel.
Kudou Retsu was talking to one of his subordinates about what currently happening and also asking what are the casualty. The subordinate shook his head as he did not know yet but he estimated that it was going to be a lot. After talking to him, Retsu walks towards his former students, Miya and Maya who are seated in the lobby and talking happily because what is happening right now to the students and civilians is not that concerning even though they are dying that's still not that concerning. The reason they have this kind of thought is because they have the cheat code Tatsuya.
If they can convince Miyuki to let Tatsuya heal or revive the dead students and civilians, then everything will be back to normal like nothing happened to them. However, they are not going to do that yet because there is another cheat code in this place and that is Oreki which they don't know yet the extent of his magic power but they know deep down this guy has a solution for everything.
When Retsu arrived and took a seat, they asked him about the situation and he gladly explained it to them.
They noticed that their former Sensei's facial expression was too relaxed though from the perspective of others, Retsu's expression is always the same. However, to them, it's unusual after all he is their former Master.
"Old Retsu you're not worried at all are you?" Miya asked in curiosity.
Retsu just smiled before saying "My grandson said that Oreki will do something about the casualty because this event is his fault."
"Oh.... as expected of our future husband," Maya said with a smile as she stared at Miya.
"He might have had a great body and face," Miya said as she recalled that sculpted body of Oreki during his half-naked attire during the Ice Pillar Break which was a delight to see and probably will be etched in her mind forever while using him as the material for the future. She then noticed the smirking face of her sister which prompted her to explain further "But I'm not prepared to have a husband again who's almost the same age as my kids!"
"I didn't ask what you like about him," Maya said with a shrug and smiled.
Miya chose to ignore that before looking to Retsu to change the topic "The Traditionalist really hated your family" She said with a smile. The Traditionalists sent almost all of their people in this assault.
"Hating the Kudou is not the reason they sent a lot of their people, their objectives too," Maya said making Miya and Retsu question her. "From what I could gather, they want to kidnap one of the Oreki companions and bring them to their side."
"And who might that be?" Retsu questions Maya.
"It's Akeno" Maya was not the one who answered, The group turned to the source and they saw Oreki sitting together with them.
"Oreki!" Maya stood up as she looked at Oreki with heartful eyes.
"Mommy!" Oreki replied as he too stood up while waiting for her to hug him Maya did not even waste a second to hug him.
Maya buried her head in Oreki's chest while moving her head too, She then took a deep breath to smell him "It's the same scent, It's the same scent, It's the same scent"
"Was the smell of that Hawaiin shirt did not fade?" Oreki question.
"It did fade but I will always remember this smell of yours," Maya said in delight while looking up from Oreki's chest. As Hayama the Butler, that shirt had been tainted too much by her juices that it needed to be washed but Maya refused to do it because she always imagined that the smell of her water and his scent was the smell of their future baby which made the butler just facepalmed.
"What a cute little yandere...well almost yandere but do I need a yandere though?" Oreki said while looking at Maya who still had pink heart eyes "Maybe I should fix you before you stray away from the path" He added while he held her chin.
"How are you going to fix me?" Maya questioned sultry as she pressed her boobs to Oreki's chest which is getting squished in between like a Cuban Sandwich. She had been waiting for this moment so whatever Oreki wanted to do to her she'll accept it will.
Oreki just smiled "Nah, I like you already this way," He said while he traced Maya's lips with his finger.
"Oreki..." Maya closed her eyes while tip-toeing to try and kiss Oreki.
Miya coughed as she interrupted Maya's attempt to steal a kiss from Oreki but would it be stolen if he gave it away?
Maya opened her eyes just to see the smirking Oreki before turning her attention to his twin sister and giving her a grumpy look.
"Look around you Maya" Miya said "Shameful display for the so-called head of the Yotsuba" She added while shaking her head to feign disappointment.
"Sucks to be them," Maya said as she let go of Oreki's embrace. The latter then turned his sight to Miya before he moved forward to her.
Miya wanted to back off as she did not want to be charmed by this incubus-looking human because "My god, don't tempt me" She thought to herself. She did not move until Oreki was in front of her.
"So this is Yotsuba Miya," Oreki said before he gently took Miya's hand to kiss it. "You are as beautiful as your sister" He added with his signature devilishly charming smile.
"Obviously" Miya retorted while blushing and her eyes twinkling.
Seeing those eyes, Oreki assumed the praise was quite effective. "As expected of me, even simple words as I praise them make the ladies wet." He thought. His expression changed to a sad and frowny face "And I'm sorry for the loss of your Husband, may he rest and peace" He said.
The Twins and Minami turn stiff on hearing that while Retsu just smiles without a care in the world. Coincidently the lobby music also stopped after Oreki said that.
After a while, Maya just burst out laughing at Miya's embarrass.
"Did I say something wrong?" Oreki asked pretending to be ignorant.
"Of course you did! My ex-husband is alive and well with his whore" Miya reprimanded while insulting her ex and his wife in the process.
"Huh? Why would he cheat or leave a bombshell like you? Is he stupid?" Oreki question.
Miya did a tsundere act and did not say anything. Maya smirked seeing this as she thought "Good Miya, Good. Join in the endeavor"
"And this is Minami right?" Oreki questioned making Minami bow to him as she acknowledged what he said "My new friend wanted to meet after I accidentally spoiled him of his love life" He added with a sigh.
Minami doesn't know how to respond to that.
Retsu who was smiling turned serious "Is he.."
"Yes! Isn't that good?! We are going to be one big happy family" Oreki said excitedly as he took Maya's hand and started twirling her.
Retsu seeing this just sighed before looking to Minami "Please take care of him"
"Ehh?!"
-----
In some parts of the 9SC venue that turns into battlefield.
Despite being a creepy motherfucker, Masaki is a capable magician on his own when using his family's closely guarded magic and not just a capable magician he becomes quite lethal too when using the said magic on organic beings like humans.
Masaki aims his CAD at one of the Generators before pulling the trigger. The generator stopped it's movement as it's started growing bumps of different sizes from different parts of its body before exploding like a mess in gory passion with its internal organs scattering in pieces and its blood showering its surroundings luckily there no one around it. This is why he does not use the full power of rupture when there are other people around the enemy so as to not give them an accidental bloody shower.
Anyway, what Masaki used here is a Magic called Rupture, it's a Dispersal Type spell, that evaporates all liquids within an object. In the case of living organisms, body fluids will evaporate and the body will explode with its red blood cells scattering outwards like a crimson flower blooming in the spring.
"Masaki we're almost done here," George said to Masaki who is covered in blood because of the blood shower he keeps on making while fighting.
"Can you handle everything here?" Masaki asked not bothering to wipe or clean the blood off of his body and clothes. George nodded in response to his question before he too nodded back he started walking in a certain direction confidently. George then asked where's he going after seeing him like this.
"I need to see if Shiba-san is okay" Masaki answered without looking back.
