Kaori, who narrowed her eyes dearly and exuding an aura of a wife who sends off her husband to the battlefield, made Hajime stammer inadvertently.
Since before, Kaori had been a straightforward person. Even when they were in Japan, Kaori mercilessly cut down Kouki's misunderstanding, dropping bomb onto Hajime which resulted in the classroom to suffer the storm of jealousy... those had become their daily life. And she was being even more frank since the day she confessed to him.
Hajime somehow managed to avert his gaze, but the place he averted to was... where Yue was. He saw it; Yue was watching Hajime in silence with dead, inorganic eyes. It was really terrible. He instinctively changed his gaze other way, and Kaori was there smiling with affection...
But seeing Kaori's atmosphere, our idol, Myuu dropped a bomb.
"Kaori-oneechan, Kaori-oneechan looks just like Yue-oneechan from before. Is Kaori-oneechan going to kiss Papa~?"
"Oya? So thou saw it, Myu?"
"Uh~? Myuu saw it from the gap between the fingers. Yue-oneechan looked so lovely~. Myuu also wants to kiss Papa~."
"U~m. Even this one hath not done that, thou know? So, Myuu need to wait until Myuu is bigger."
"Uu~."
Myuu's innocent words made Hajime say, "This good for nothing!" an unjust anger towards Tio. As expected, with "Those eyes! Those eyess! Tres Bien!" Tio began to be aroused, but it was something trivial this time.
As for the reason, a katana-shouldering Hanya appeared right beside Hajime. Of course, it was Kaori.
"...What does that mean, ah? Wasn't Hajime-kun going there to work on something? So, why did you kiss Yue? Tell me, how did it come to that? Was there any need to do that? While I was desperately treating the patients, the two of you were enjoying yourselves, ah? Did you even forget about me? Rather, did we separate just so you could be alone?"
Eyes without light, Kaori was looking at Hajime with a Hanya behind her. Cold sweats ran along Hajime's cheeks. Hajime wanted to say it was because of the bloodsucking act; he and Yue wouldn't be separated unless they kiss. But faster than him, Yue advanced.
Hajime had expected her to solve the misunderstanding, but he was a fool to expect that from Yue in this kind of situation.
Yue and Kaori looked at each other, and Yue puffed her chest in a dignified manner. Smiling after saying fu,
"... It was delicious." She informed Kaori.
"Aha, ahahahahaha."
"Fufu, fufufufufufu."
Eerie laughter coming from the two beautiful girls was echoing inside the medical center. Up until now, the staff of medical center and patients thought of Kaori as a saint, but now they were taken aback and turned their faces away so their eyes would not meet hers.
It was something they couldn't help. No one would think a person with katana-swinging Hanya behind then was a saint. Moreover, the one confronting her had a dragon clad in black clouds and thunders. They couldn't help but wanting to look away.
Towards Kaori and Yue, who were staring at each other while laughing, Hajime sighed and quickly decided to approach them to deliver forehead flicks. Shwip! An unbelievable sound rang out from the impact of the flicks. Yue and Kaori spontaneously groaned and squatted. With teary eyes, they looked up, expressing, "What are you doing," which made Hajime raised an amazed expression.
"Kaori. It's not like I and Yue had wanted to do such an act. You understand it, right? Besides, Yue is my lover. We don't need your permission to do such a thing."
"Uh... that is so... but I don't think it is the real reason..."
Angered by that, Kaori objected to Hajime. Hajime sighed again and said, "Yue, too, there's no need to always bicker like that." However, hmph!, Yue turned her face and refused to listen to him, "This is a woman's fight... there's no need for Hajime to interfere."
Randzi and the others could only stand in place by the suddenly generated carnage. Shia reflected, "I noticed that recently my presence had been thinned." Tio was still panting hard, while Myuu turned into angry mode because Yue and Kaori were quarrelling again.
Hajime gave up on controlling the situation and decided to go to «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» as fast as possible. Kaori was not the only one being busy in the medical center, since although Hajime had told Randzi beforehand, he once again told Randzi to take care of Myuu. Smiling wryly at the relationship between Hajime and his party, Randzi readily agreed to take care of Myuu.
Myuu had been persuaded beforehand, but as soon as she guessed Hajime was going to leave, Myuu looked down with a lonely expression. Hajime kneeled to match Myuu's eye-level and patted her head.
"Myuu, I am going. Be a good girl and wait for me, okay?"
"Uh, Myuu will be a good girl. So come back quickly, Papa."
"Ah, I will return as fast as possible."
Grasping the end of her clothes tightly with both hands, Myuu was enduring her tears. And the appearance of Hajime gently patting Myuu, even if they weren't related by blood, made everyone see them as nothing but a father and his child. The cold, post-carnage atmosphere has turned warm. Hajime pushed Myuu's back towards Kaori's side. Yue, Shia, and Tio moved out in order.
Hajime was about to turn on his heel, when Kaori called out to him.
"Ah, Hajime-kun... that's, have a safe journey."
"Ou, please take care of Myuu."
"Un... also, that is... can I ask for a, kiss? Like... a kiss to pray for a safe trip."
"... Of course you can't. Rather, what's with that?"
"On cheek is okay, too, you know? Still no?"
Although she was fidgeting with flushed cheeks, Kaori's tone was unexpectedly a strong one. Apparently her rivalry with Yue made her think she must not back out at such a time. Hajime recalled that he noticed Kaori was rather proactive at the time they were still in Japan, but the Kaori after confessing to him was even more proactive.
Hajime ignored the rabbit-ear who said, "Ah, then me, too!," from behind him and decided to flatly refuse Kaori, but he was attacked by an unexpected enemy.
"Myuu, too~. Myuu wants to kiss Papa, too!"
Kaori took an advantage of Myuu, who innocently reached out to Hajime. Hajime wanted to say a lot of things and evade her (Myuu isn't that strong after all), but finally,
"Papa, Papa hates Myuu?"
Saying so with teary eyes, Myuu endured herself from crying.
In the end, Kaori, Myuu, and somehow Shia were kissed on their cheek. And this time, in a place where a lot of patients were lying down, they were watched with warm gazes although they didn't know why. Afterwards, Hajime, as if running away, went towards «Guryuu-en Great Volcano».
By the way, although Tio also wanted a kiss, Hajime rashly insult her because she was being too cocky which resulted in her being even more excited. Let just say it turned into something disgusting.
