"Mmm…"
Komuro Aoi let out a comfortable moan as she opened her sleepy eyes.
Although Sora was a bit of a scoundrel, he was still considerate. He had set up a simple barrier around her body, so she had slept exceptionally soundly during the journey. Upon waking, she felt all the fatigue of the past few days dissipate, and her entire being radiated endless charm.
"Master…"
The first thing she saw upon waking was the man with that wicked smile. Komuro Aoi felt extremely shy but also incredibly sweet. Although she had lost many of her past memories, she could sense that it had been a long time since she had experienced such warmth.
"Hehe, had enough sleep? Hurry up and get down!"
Patting Komuro Aoi's plump buttocks wrapped in a black skirt, Sora said with a wicked smile.
He wouldn't mind holding this mature and enchanting woman a bit longer, and the soft, tender, and smooth sensation was a supreme pleasure for him. But no, they were about to meet his in-laws, and Sora thought it best to behave himself for now.
"Mmm…"
Extremely shy, Komuro Aoi stood up and only then realized that they had arrived in front of a residential area.
Moreover, this place was very familiar to her—it was where her good friend Miyamoto Kiriko lived!
Subconsciously, she wanted to flee. It would be too embarrassing for her friend to see that she now had a villainous master! However, seeing Sora's teasing expression, Komuro Aoi sadly realized that escape was impossible…
Noticing Miyamoto Rei's urgency, Sora didn't delay any longer and nodded, walking in with her. Although she hesitated, Komuro Aoi, with a flushed face, followed them.
Like everywhere else, the residential area where Miyamoto Rei lived was not spared. From time to time, a few zombies would roar and charge at the trio from the corners, but Miyamoto Rei, eager to get home, directly unleashed her energy, shattering them into pieces.
It didn't take long for the three to arrive at Miyamoto Rei's door. Although the door was stained with blood and had many cracks, clearly having been attacked by monsters, seeing that it was still tightly shut, Sora and Miyamoto Rei exchanged a glance and felt slightly relieved.
"Mom, Dad, it's me, open the door!"
With some excitement, since the doorbell was broken, Miyamoto Rei could only knock hard on the iron door, hoping her parents inside could hear.
Click!
Not long after, the door suddenly opened, and a figure appeared before the three—none other than Miyamoto Kiriko!
"Wuwuwu… Rei, you're finally back, Mom was so worried!"
Her voice hoarse and with a hint of tears, Miyamoto Kiriko hugged Miyamoto Rei and spoke excitedly. Overjoyed, it was clear that the woman had been extremely worried these past few days.
"Ahem, Kiriko-nee, I'm still here, you're being too biased towards Rei!"
Well, that was the voice of a certain jealous scoundrel beside them.
"Haha, you little rascal, I knew you'd be fine!"
Wiping her tears, Miyamoto Kiriko knocked Sora's head and scolded him with a smile.
"Huh? Komuro Aoi! You're safe too, that's great!"
At this moment, Miyamoto Kiriko, who had calmed down a bit, also noticed Komuro Aoi's presence and immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.
These past few days, she had been alone, hiding in the house, forced to listen to the roars of monsters and the terrifying sounds of them eating people. Several times, she had accidentally attracted their attention, and they had desperately banged on the iron door, trying to break in. If not for the thought of surviving to see her loved ones, Miyamoto Kiriko would have already collapsed!
Finally, after endless torment, she had waited—her daughter, the little rascal, and even her good friend. After days of fear and anxiety, Miyamoto Kiriko felt that there could be no greater happiness than this moment!
Just as Komuro Aoi was nervously thinking about how to greet her friend, suddenly, several roars of monsters came:
"Roar…"
It turned out that because of the voices of the group, a few zombies had been attracted and were charging towards them from the hallway.
"Ah… hurry inside!"
Seeing the terrifying monsters dripping with disgusting liquid, Miyamoto Kiriko's face turned pale, and she shouted in fear to everyone.
Nodding, without saying anything more, the three quickly entered the house.
Sora walked in last, and seeing the zombies almost upon them, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He shot out several energy blasts, and the zombies' heads exploded into pieces.
"Phew…"
Closing the door and hearing no more movement outside, although she felt a bit strange, Kiriko let out a long sigh of relief.
People in the apocalypse were extremely sensitive, their nerves always on edge. Seeing how much Miyamoto Kiriko had aged in just a few days, Sora and Miyamoto Rei felt a pang of sadness.
"Huh, where's Uncle?"
Although Sora could call Miyamoto Kiriko "nee," for the upright and strict Miyamoto Tadashi, he had to respectfully call him "Uncle." Earlier, he thought Miyamoto Tadashi might be busy and hadn't come out, but now, entering the house, he found only Miyamoto Kiriko, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Yeah, Mom, where's Dad?"
Just as she had relaxed, Miyamoto Rei also noticed something was wrong and immediately turned to Miyamoto Kiriko with a tense expression.
"Your father, he, he…"
Tears fell from her eyes again, and even the usually strong Miyamoto Kiriko was now sobbing uncontrollably.
Without asking, Miyamoto Rei knew something had happened. Thinking of her father's character, her face turned pale, and her legs went weak.
"Rei!"
Sora quickly supported Miyamoto Rei, who was on the verge of fainting from the shock. Seeing the equally heartbroken Miyamoto Kiriko, he quickly signaled to Komuro Aoi, who was still standing there in a daze.
Snapping out of it, Komuro Aoi naturally understood Sora's meaning and quickly supported her friend, comforting her. Sora carried Miyamoto Rei to the sofa. Looking at the girl who was clearly in deep sorrow but biting her lip to hold back her tears, Sora felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Miyamoto Kiriko was also helped to sit down by Komuro Aoi. Then, amidst her intermittent sobs, everyone roughly understood what had happened.
Although Miyamoto Tadashi was an outstanding police officer, in the face of such a great disaster, everything seemed so insignificant. With his excellent skills, he had successfully reached the police station, but in the subsequent battle against the zombies, this upright and foolish man, always at the forefront, could not escape the fate of death.
Miyamoto Tadashi was bitten on the arm by a zombie. To prevent himself from turning into a monster, he asked his colleague to shoot him. In the last moments of his life, he expressed deep regret towards Miyamoto Kiriko and Miyamoto Rei, but he had no regrets.
The news came through the police station's direct communication device, but if possible, Miyamoto Kiriko wished she hadn't known, so she could at least hold onto a sliver of hope…
As for Miyamoto Tadashi's actions, Sora admired and respected them, but he would not follow suit.
He did not possess such lofty character or so-called righteousness. His goal was actually very small—he just wanted to live happily with his women, nothing else mattered to him.
Regarding the death of Miyamoto Tadashi, Sora felt a slight sadness. Although he was a bit old-fashioned and strict, in some ways, he was indeed a decent uncle. However, Sora wasn't worried about himself; with his carefree personality, he would probably get over it in a few minutes. After all, the person is already dead, what else can you do?
However, Sora was somewhat concerned about Miyamoto Rei, whom he held in his arms. He didn't know how to comfort her about her father, who was both great and irresponsible.
Let the girl decide everything for herself…
