anyway what volume 6 reveals is that Hajime has unwittingly tripped the flags for Shizuku's capture route starting volume 4 which culminates to the Volume 9 route clear. With Kaori and Yue seemingly felt that she is going to be a formidable opponent, while logically speaking she would be one of the early characters to figure out their emotions its not until the final dungeon did she figures it out that she had to depend on Hajime for 6 times not Kouki

meaning while she is initially in the position of "wingman to the friend in love", she had to figure out Hajime's dark history (flag of "getting to know your target"), next Hajime saved their asses once before falling (heart event 1), then he saves their asses one more time (heart event 2), he then gives the sword he made for her in the absence of kaori (heart event 3) its by this time in the soul sister's side story is revealed she just cant stop talking about the Demon King, he then saves their asses one more time and the kingdom by accident when the demons finally attacked Heiligh's capital (heart event 4), saving Kaori after she gets killed (heart event 5), and him saving her one more time inside the final dungeon (heart event 6). This is inline with her character concept of "a gap moe onee-san chara for once who wants to be the protectee and not the protector" which she does most of the time with Kouki cleaning up his mess is hard work most likely
