@Hounder:
Nope, the MC will take the blame.
The female players will attempt to protect Aili.
That means they will risk being "killed" to protect her because they as players can "revive" but NPCs probably not.
Now remember the objectives of MC's quest:
- No party member is allowed to die.
That is one of his objectives.
So if anything happens it will be him who fails his quest.
And if it gets worse and Aili is also "killed", he will fail the quest from Aili, too.
So the MC is the one who will pay the price.
