"So this wasn't a dream?"
Feeling the warmth of Kamishiro Yu's body, Miyamoto Rei thought.
At this moment, Kamishiro Yu embraced Miyamoto Rei, spun to dodge, and with a flick of his blade, severed Nagai Go's arm.
With another strike, he also took off Nagai Go's head.
Miyamoto Rei looked at Kamishiro Yu up close, his clear jawline, and explosive strength.
In the arms of the man before her, she felt completely safe.
"Have you hugged enough?"
Kamishiro Yu looked at the girl tightly embracing him in his arms and smiled slightly.
Miyamoto Rei's face flushed slightly, and after letting go of Kamishiro Yu, she also scrutinized the man before her.
This man, who appeared like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, was not only handsome and dashing but also exuded a certain husband-like aura.
She had no resistance to this type.
However, returning to rationality, he was a stranger after all. He was her savior, but she still needed to maintain a trace of vigilance.
She spoke, "I am Miyamoto Rei from Fujimi High School. Thank you, Senpai, for saving me!"
"It's nothing, my name is Kamishiro Yu, and I was also entrusted to come here to save people."
"Entrusted?"
"Yes, an entrustment from the Takagi Family. There should be a student named Takagi Saya at your school, right?"
Kamishiro Yu showed Takagi Saya's photo to Miyamoto Rei.
Miyamoto Rei saw that it was indeed the Takagi Saya she knew. Others had people coming to save them, but her own father was unreachable, making her feel a bit dejected for a moment.
However, Senpai Kamishiro Yu had saved her, so she still explained truthfully:
"Saya should still be downstairs in the teaching building. If Senpai wants to find her, you'll have to open the rooftop door and go down, which is too dangerous."
"And it's getting dark soon."
Kamishiro Yu weighed the situation. Facing these zombies in the dark would still be a bit dangerous.
He decided to observe first and get through this night.
...Night fell. On the rooftop, the lone man and woman leaned together against the water tower.
The color of the sunset blended with the zombie blood in the water. Miyamoto Rei looked at the mutated remains scattered on the ground, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She suddenly untied her hair tie, her high ponytail falling loose, her chestnut hair brushing against Kamishiro Yu's sleeve:
"Senpai, do you know? Nagai-kun was still showing off his newly learned fighting skills last week."
She kicked away a zombie head at her feet:
"Now that I think about it, a man's so-called promise is like this corpse."
"It looks intact, but inside it's already crawling with maggots."
Kamishiro Yu wiped the blood from his Tang Dao, the blade reflecting the torn hem of the girl's uniform skirt—the result of Nagai Go and Komuro Takashi's mutated frenzy.
"Want to hear about my wife?"
He suddenly spoke, his fingertip gently caressing the character "Rin" engraved on the hilt.
He had commissioned this sword after earning money from writing novels, never thinking he would have a chance to use it.
"She always said that if the apocalypse ever came, the most terrifying thing wouldn't be the zombies, but the living forgetting how to cry."
"Isn't that rather artistic?"
"..."
Miyamoto Rei stared blankly at the man before her. After Kamishiro Yu initiated the conversation, she also bravely chatted with him.
The more they talked, the more she realized Kamishiro Yu's vast knowledge.
In comparison, Komuro Takashi and Igou Ei seemed quite shallow.
She looked at this handsome Senpai, who was like a widower, and a sudden urge to care for him welled up in her heart.
"If tomorrow I might turn into a zombie, then can I be a little bolder?"
The late-night cold wind swept past the water tank, piercing Miyamoto Rei's thin shirt.
Driven by instinct, Miyamoto Rei moved her fair legs beneath her short skirt, inching closer to Kamishiro Yu.
Until she was pressed against Kamishiro Yu's leg... In the darkest hour before dawn, Miyamoto Rei curled up in Kamishiro Yu's outer jacket.
Her ample assets pressed tightly against Kamishiro Yu's broad chest.
Miyamoto Rei's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
After seeing that the man before her had fallen asleep, she let out a long breath, and then a blush crept up her cheeks, spreading to her translucent earlobes... With a whimper.
Kamishiro Yu, in his sleep, also woke up... Dawn broke, and Kamishiro Yu's large hand gently stroked Miyamoto Rei's soft, long hair.
He looked at the blue screen before him and discovered that he had gained a new skill.
He had finally acquired a new means of self-defense beyond his martial arts.

...Soon after, Miyamoto Rei slowly woke up and then buried her head in his broad chest again.
Yesterday, she felt she had undergone a transformation.
She spoke a little nervously:
"Yu-kun, I'm not that kind of casual person..."
Kamishiro Yu pinched Miyamoto Rei's fair little face and said seriously:
"I know."
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Rei's already shy face became even redder.
Seeing Miyamoto Rei's expression, Kamishiro Yu pressed his advantage, leaning gently close to Miyamoto Rei's ear.
"I really liked yesterday's you."
Feeling the hot breath by her ear, Miyamoto Rei frantically stood up from Kamishiro Yu's embrace.
She straightened her clothes, as if that could alleviate the awkwardness.
After a while, she was surprised to find that the pain from her fight for survival yesterday had disappeared, and her body even felt stronger.
She felt she could now fight several zombies.
She looked at Kamishiro Yu, about to speak.
Kamishiro Yu seemed to understand what she wanted to say:
"It's normal for you to feel changes in your body; it's related to my physique."
He roughly explained to Miyamoto Rei the effect of his Calamity of Women, which would enhance her physique.
However, Miyamoto Rei's improvement didn't seem as significant as his.
Miyamoto Rei listened to Kamishiro Yu's explanation, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, her pink lips slightly parted.
It was the first time she had heard of such a miraculous thing.
This made her feel like she had won the lottery... After their tender moment, Kamishiro Yu and Miyamoto Rei prepared to clear a path downstairs after breakfast.
"Are you ready?"
Kamishiro Yu said, sensing the movement beneath the rooftop's iron door.
Miyamoto Rei nodded firmly. Since last night, she was no longer the person she used to be, both physically and mentally.
Seeing Miyamoto Rei's expression, Kamishiro Yu also nodded. He moved the obstacles blocking the iron door, then twisted the doorknob.
Instantly, a foul stench rushed out.
Several student-like zombie corpses charged with bared fangs and claws. However, under Kamishiro Yu's 60% enhanced body, their heads were all severed as if he were slicing melons and vegetables.
Miyamoto Rei watched Kamishiro Yu's movements, as if she saw herself wielding a spear.
Even more skilled than herself!
She had just knocked down one zombie corpse when a scream echoed from below in the distance!
Some of the zombie corpses beneath the iron door immediately abandoned climbing to the rooftop and rushed towards the direction of the scream.
Miyamoto Rei's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing the scream, and she said:
"It's Marikawa Shizuka-sensei!"
Kamishiro Yu heard Miyamoto Rei's words, his Tang Dao not pausing.
Is it that blonde, busty school nurse?
He had quite an impression of that naturally clumsy, busty woman; her figure was extremely illicit.
Crucially, her best friend's house contained a large collection of firearms and ammunition, as well as a military Humvee, which was a very useful resource point.
And that place wasn't far from the academy.
While looking for Takagi Saya, he might as well head towards the blonde busty woman's location.
