You shudder. "What… what is that?"
Kai doesn't seem too worried about it though, his expression one of calm. "It's a monster. A strong one."
On the other side of Kai, Kaoru makes a full-body shudder. He blinks rapidly, eyes unfocused, and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"You all right?" Kai asks.
He makes a vague noise. "Head hurts."
"Then maybe you should stay back. Kyoko and I will handle this."
...your sorry, WHAT?! "We will?" you squeak. What could the two of you possibly do about that... that... THING!?! Granted, Kai has some sort of magic-whatever stuff going on, but you?! You were in hospital for most of your life, that doesn't exactly transcribe to FIGHTING MONSTERS! And yet... Kai still seems undetered... and you gather your own will at that. "I mean, yes! We will! Don't worry about us."
And Kyoko continues to trust Kai, despite the sheer amount of incriminating evidence so far.
He just so happens to know Magic, and be 100% confident in his ability to fight this thing.
And then there's Kaoru, who falls unconscious when near a monster.
The tropes are working overtime, to ensure Kyoko doesn't question any of this.
