Chapter 12: Lastly, the Demon Lord Makes an Appearance.
And thus, my long journey came to an end. Betrayed by everyone I knew, I was now being forcefully escorted against my will towards a prison facility. Well, since we weren't friends, I guess this last group technically didn't count as betrayal.
Could this day get any worse?
Of course.
Upon reaching our destination, a familiar black vehicle was parked in front of the entrance. Wait, this was a different black vehicle: a limousine instead of a sports car. It seems that black was a popular color among the women who posed a danger to my well-being.
Sitting on the hood of the car and waving at us was an incarnation of terror surpassing even HiratZilla by several orders of magnitude. I guess no journey was complete without defeating the demon lord.
"Nee-san..."
"Hikigaya-kun! I heard all about it! You're such a bad boy, proposing to Shizuka-chan when you already have Yukino-chan."
Gah! This is why I said the information needed to be quarantined! Now it has reached the worst possible person. No... before that...
"How did you know where to find me?"
"Hm? Ah that huh? Hikigaya-kun, you're really foolish you know? What was the point of passing your phone to a decoy, if you are going to recruit other phones to your side?"
" " Ah! " " x 4
Three people turned to me with apologetic faces, but it was my fault too for not thinking about it. Wait, why does she have the GPS information for all three of your phones? Just how large is her information network?
"Well none of that really matters. I haven't told Shizuka-chan where Hikigaya-kun is yet, but all of you understand right?"
...
*Gulp*
Yeah. We understood. Now that our information was leaked, we were reduced to mere playthings for the demon lord. If we angered her here, then she would simply inform Hiratsuka-sensei and everything would come to naught.
"Yosh! Nee-chan likes kids who understand quickly. So with that out of the way, Hikigaya-kun, come over here for a bit. I got a present for you in the car. Ah, the rest of you just shut up and stay where you are okay?"
Ugh. And so the human sacrifice for the demon lord was chosen. Forbidden to even speak, the sacrifice exchanged non-verbal glances of farewell with the other villagers, and slowly trudged his way towards the execution chamber. Now, if only that sacrifice was not me.
"Mou, Hikigaya-kun is too slow!"
Suddenly, a soft hand grasped my own and pulled me along. Stop it! How could you just suddenly grab a teenage boy's hand like that? You are going to give everyone the wrong idea! Seriously, how was her hand this soft? Ah not good, my hands are starting to sweat...
Oblivious to my worries, the elder Yukinoshita happily skipped towards the door on the opposite side of the limousine while dragging me along. Why the opposite side? Was the present something you did not want the others to see?
"We're here!" she announced while opening the door.
"And here you go! How do you like your present, Hikigaya-kun?"
