Oh...? That's an interesting reversal.
Maybe there's hope yet that it doesn't get cliché and tropey.

But... Ijichi? Why...?
She already figured out that even if the two of them were to tell our dense protagonist-kun to his face that they liked him, wanted to go out with him, etc., it still wouldn't click to him at all. He'd just dismiss it as a joke or crude prank...
So, why whip out the subtlety and indirect confession? Just why?

Been looking for this for ages.
Time for a re-read.

Oh my days~!!! I'll reread this manga on my deathbed... just so I can see Otogiri again!
Prepare for a show!

Kitaaaaaaaa~!!! My favorite Graduate! 😍
She's hella awesome powerful! 🔥🔥🔥

Wait, what? The whole chapter was just the preamble to the battle?

Wasn't this guy supposed to be studying for his GED?

I wonder why they use Army ranks instead of the Navy... 🤔
I'm just curious. Don't flame me.

And like clockwork... side characters get way ahead while our mains are just... yeah. 😩

"Kilimanjaro Marquisate..."
"Mocha Viscounty..."

...ok, author-san is just taking the p*ss! 🤣🤣

What happened to Satou's 'Break Magic' skill again? Could be useful for interrupting that summoning circle and all but... I digress.

About time Gail put belt to a**!
Asgate better struggle a little, otherwise it'd be really anticlimactic.

Of course... the obligatory fireworks-go-off-while-confessing-so-MC-doesn't-hear-it trope.
Why ruin a good thing!?

It's kind of an unusual way to prolong the story and maybe give our hero-kun a challenge instead of just blowing everything away? 🤔

Aw... love it when Miya shines.

Hmmm...

*reading*

...sealed monsters so dangerous they possess the power to wipe out an army of thousands...

*turns the page*

IT'S FXCKN SHRIMP!?

Gale just took out most of the demon lord's remnants without much of a fuss... so what's he thinking that little eye will do? What an idi0t.

"...because he's him."

Yep, darn right~!

Ahaha! Ijichi's father is a riot! 🤣🤣
