Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Momo

they will probably die. ' Momo thought before shaking her head.

"N-No need, now that I think about it he has to follow a strict diet until he fully recovers and I don't know if eating cake would be good for him. " Momo said hastily.

'Sorry, Soma-nii but I can get you some cake for next time. Saving your life from dying takes precedence.

'

Sona, meanwhile, looks down.

"Shame, I have tried my best in them but it seems like no one wants them. I even tried giving one of them to some homeless man I passed by on the way to school and he took just one bite before saying he prefers to starve and accusing me of trying to kill him.

"

'That sounds about right. ' Momo thought instantly, having experienced more than once Sona's 'culinary talents' and the reaction of the homeless man was quite tame all things considered.

Soma needing to go right back to the hospital from food poisoning was an entirely realistic possibility if he was to eat anything made by Sona, after all.

Seeing that she had managed to save her cousin from a most terrible death Momo went on with Sona with her, the two going to Soma's house.

Unfortunately, after they got there and rang the bell several times no one answered. The two girls looked confused for a moment before deciding he was probably sleeping or something so they went back home without meeting him.

Well, not that he wasn't home. He very much was, and he also very much was clutching tightly the several knives he had home and still in a fighting stance.

As he had only now unlocked his Magic Circuits his ability to sense magic signals had started and, as such, he was able to smell the disgustingly sweet smell of demonic energy approaching his house. As soon as he sensed it he armed himself with what he could and stood ready in case of a fight which thankfully didn't happen.

When the smell went away he finally relaxed slightly. It was a sign that whatever had come over had left, but it was still a fact that something had come to this place that was clearly demonic in nature.

"That was scary. Since when do demonic entities just walk around in the world like that? Scary, very scary.

The world here is scary. No, calm down and think.

I have to think rationally and see how to deal with this sort of situation so that I can defend myself if whatever monster that came appears again. Okay, first things first, I need a way to defend myself.

The best way should be to sanctify and bless some weapons to make them effective against demonic beings. I should be able to buy some kitchen knives in the store and visit the local church to try and bless it, I did learn how to bless things with Amakusa anyway so it should work well enough.

After that I will ward this house the absolute best I can, nothing gets in without me knowing. And.

. .

oh shit, Momo! I need to make sure she is alright and secure before I go and find some way to kill whatever beast is out there walking around town. "

Soma spoke in rapid succession, his nerves still taught from the fact that demonic existences had just waltzed right to his front door despite the fact that he was still so very weak. However, he could only toughen it up, he was trained to be a hero, to save others and to slay the beast.

And slay the beast is exactly what he intended to do.
