"Student Rei was indeed right!"
"What did you say?"
"Hmm~ Nothing~"
...In the military humvee, Kamishiro Yu stroked Marikawa Shizuka's golden hair, feeling the warmth of her body.
But his attention was on the system's prompt:
[Due to the effect of Calamity of Women, the host's physical fitness has increased by one-tenth]
[host gains skill: Junior Driving]
[Due to the effect of the skill 'Blue Out of Indigo', Junior Driving has been upgraded to Intermediate Driving]
[Intermediate Driving: You can skillfully operate various types of vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, buses, and trucks].
With the routine increase in physical fitness, he now possessed nearly double his original physique.
Not only was he becoming more proficient at killing zombies, but he could also engage in multiple rounds of Deep Resonance battles without issue.
At the same time, Intermediate Driving was also a very practical skill, allowing him to fill in for Marikawa Shizuka if she couldn't drive.
Marikawa Shizuka quietly watched Kamishiro Yu, carefully putting away the memento of her interaction with Kamishiro Yu and placing it in her bosom.
Although she was well past adulthood in age, she might be even less experienced in this area than Miyamoto Rei.
She wondered if Yu-kun had reached his pleasure.
After confirming that the humvee was fine, the two spent some tender moments before immediately returning indoors.
What they didn't notice was that Busujima Saeko, who was on guard duty on the second floor, had witnessed the entire process.
Busujima Saeko sighed inwardly, "As expected of the man I favor, he lasts long."
Her gaze turned to the distance, towards the Cross-River Bridge they were to travel to tomorrow, where red and blue police lights flashed, and dense crowds of zombies gathered.
Ever since she started practicing Kendo, her heart had been suppressing extreme and even murderous emotions. After realizing that Kamishiro Yu showed no mercy towards zombies, or even humans like Fujito Koichi,
She realized that they were kindred spirits deep down.
Therefore, her admiration for Kamishiro Yu was undisguised... At this moment, in the apocalypse world, at the Takagi Family Castle.
[Kamishiro Yu: We are safe and sound today, attached picture]
[Kamishiro Yu: We will cross the bridge as planned tomorrow]
[Takagi Yuriko: That puts my mind at ease. We will send a small team to meet you then]
Takagi Yuriko looked at the picture sent by Kamishiro Yu and clearly felt that her daughter was no longer as nervous as before, indicating that the current environment indeed provided a strong sense of security.
She could only sigh, as expected of Kamishiro Rin's man!
At this time, she had already bathed and changed, lying on the large bed in the Castle wearing a red silk nightgown.
Her Graceful and Curvaceous figure was highlighted perfectly.
Looking at the picture, her hand involuntarily moved downwards.
Kamishiro Yu took over guard duty from Busujima Saeko first.
Safety was the top priority now.
After coming to this world, he felt that the biggest threat was actually the pervasive sense of insecurity from constant danger; prolonged exposure could easily lead to a mental breakdown.
This was his second night in the apocalypse.
Even with soft scents surrounding him, the sight of zombies everywhere still put a lot of pressure on him, completely lacking the ease of the real world.
After finishing his guard duty, he returned to his room.
He burrowed into the covers and suddenly felt much of his mental fatigue dissipate.
He turned over and suddenly felt something soft beside him.
A cute, innocent Blonde Bombshell was right beside him.
At this moment, Marikawa Shizuka blinked her innocent big eyes.
Her soft, boneless small hand directly touched her desired research subject.
"Yu-kun, I'll help you!"
...The next day, after Kamishiro Yu woke up, he felt refreshed and invigorated.
He obtained [Skill: Advanced Medical Knowledge], and at the same time, improved his physical fitness once again.
[I wonder if there is an upper limit to this increase in physical fitness?]
Kamishiro Yu couldn't help but think.
But he didn't dwell on it; he would worry about it when he reached the limit.
Meanwhile, Marikawa Shizuka, who was beside him, also groggily woke up. She had expected to feel quite uncomfortable today.
Unexpectedly, she felt even more energetic than usual!
Her beautiful eyes looked at Kamishiro Yu, rippling with emotion.
"Yu-kun, you truly are an amazing man!"
...Takagi Saya changed her clothes and saw Kamishiro Yu and Marikawa Shizuka emerge from the same room together.
And Marikawa Shizuka's face looked radiant!
She felt like her world had collapsed!
Was she the most clueless one after all?
...The group did not linger on the comforts of the High-end Apartment; they knew that the enjoyment here was only temporary.
After adjusting their status, Kamishiro Yu and the four women quickly transferred most of the supplies to the military humvee, including firearms, binoculars, grenades, food, and daily necessities.
After making full preparations, Marikawa Shizuka started the massive vehicle.
Today, the road conditions were worse than yesterday, with more zombies and various vehicle wreckage appearing.
"Huh, why does driving feel much smoother today than yesterday?"
Marikawa Shizuka's cotton candy dripped onto the steering wheel; she was slightly puzzled.
Could it be because of Yu-kun's training?
She had originally felt that this situation would be difficult to handle and was a little worried.
Takagi Saya also sensed the difference. Marikawa Shizuka was swerving all over the road yesterday, so how had she transformed today?
Busujima Saeko, however, focused her gaze on Kamishiro Yu. She was becoming increasingly interested in this man!
Only Miyamoto Rei knew exactly what was going on.
She was truly jealous today!
She never expected Marikawa Shizuka to be so cunning!
But now, having tasted the sweetness, she couldn't leave Yu-kun anymore... As the vehicle drove on, they were not far from the Cross-river Bridge.
Kamishiro Yu asked Marikawa Shizuka to open the sunroof.
Takagi Saya stood up, picked up the binoculars, and observed the situation on the bridge.
The situation was not optimistic.
Over a dozen police cars were blocking the bridge, and in front of them was a line of security personnel holding riot shields.
In front of the security personnel were civilians surrounded by zombies. Even though the police in riot gear occasionally fired their weapons, people were still dying frequently.
Screams and blood wove together into a scene of the apocalypse.
Even with psychological preparation, Takagi Saya's small face turned slightly pale upon seeing this scene.
Kamishiro Yu, who also had half his body out of the sunroof and was pressed against Takagi Saya, naturally sensed the girl's emotions.
Skillfully, he shot and killed two extremely fast zombies to prevent them from getting closer.
Then he took the binoculars from Takagi Saya, holding them in his right hand to observe the situation.
His left hand, meanwhile, tightly gripped the girl's soft, slightly trembling small hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Takagi Saya smelled the gunpowder and the mature scent of the man beside her.
Her mood immediately calmed down.
"Thank you, Yu-kun."
It was the first time Takagi Saya had called him "Yu-kun."
While blushing, she also felt that this affectionate way of addressing him didn't seem out of place in this scenario.
Her distance from him had also narrowed.
[What am I thinking about? Business comes first right now!]
Takagi Saya discarded the romantic thoughts in her mind and immediately stated her opinion:
"I think we can break through directly from the left side of the bridge!"
"The security is weak there, though there are more zombies and vehicle wreckage!"
After observing, Kamishiro Yu agreed with this assessment.
At that time, they would just use grenades to clear the path, and the military humvee could charge right through.
"Shizuka, we'll take this breakthrough route!"
"Alright! Hold on tight!"
Marikawa Shizuka slammed the accelerator and sped up immediately!
It was fine inside the car, but the two people in the sunroof were pressed tightly together due to inertia.
