I'm surprised this kept subverting what could've been the typical swimsuit fanservice chapter, in favor of actual plot. I like it.
Was anybody actually fooled that Dee was gonna die for sure? I'm pretty sure everyone expected MC to successfully revive her. Laila's younger brother suddenly appearing and dying in the same chapter like a nameless mob was a truly pathetic thing. He attempted to murder the MC's semi-official waifu #2 so of course he had to die. shrugs
