"Now... Girls, you know what you have to do to avoid getting slapped by me, right?" Shiryu asked the girls standing near his car.
Many of them were scared. Besides Rei, there was also Yuuki among them.
They all walked away from his car, but Rei walked towards him with her naginata in her hand.
She wasn't worried that she would attack him.
Or rather, he could easily block her.
Question was, what did this girl want to do?
"S-Shiryu, I'm Rei Miyamoto and I want to join your group!"
Rei bent over until her large breasts swayed in the air.
It made the other girls have the same idea, but Shiryu's sharp gaze made them dare not do it.
Yuuki bit her finger, she cursed Rei as a bitch like herself in her heart. She was also beautiful and sexy, shouldn't Shiryu also like her?
But why?!
Why since their first meeting, did he look at her with disgust?
Still, that stare made her body a little hot.
Miku Yuuki probably didn't know she was an M.
"Hm..." Shiryu tensed his chin as if he was hesitating and asked, "The weapon in your hand, can you really use it?"
"Yes! I'm a member of the Sojutsu club, I'm skilled in using spears including the Naginata."
Rei answered excitedly.
She was not lying.
In the original work, she was an expert in close combat with spears and was also proficient in using an M1A1 assault rifle with a bayonet.
Shiryu knew this.
"Ehem! Alright, you can join my group."
"Thank you Shiryu!"
Rei was happy, she was originally worried about being rejected and having to continue to stay in Takashi's group.
Rather than follow her childhood friend who had fooled her, she would rather follow Shiryu.
Takashi: "....."
He's still unconscious but if not, what Rei did was like a slap in the face.
Rei, how dare you betray me and join Shiryu's group!?
Have you forgotten who made me like this? It was him!
"Me too! Shiryu, please, let me join your group! I'll do anything for you!"
"I can't fight, but I can serve you in bed!"
Yuuki panicked, she let go of all her pride and said that while hugging one of Shiryu's legs.
"You..."
Shiryu struggled for words.
How could he not?
Before hugging him, this girl unbuttoned all the buttons of her school uniform and made her colored underwear visible.
He had to admit that although Miku Yuuki was not a heroine, she had a very nice body.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't interested in what she had to say.
But there were Saeko, Yukana, Shizuka, Yuko and other women who were watching.
He couldn't agree right away, it would make it look like he was lusting after Yuuki.
What should he do?
System!
[You're really asking for my help in something like this? Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it.]
You're useless.
[....]
On the other side, Saeko and the women in Shiryu's group frowned when they heard what Yuuki said shamelessly.
Even so, Saeko quickly made a decision.
"Shiryu, let Yuuki-san also join our group."
"Ehh! Busujima-san, why? We should keep that bitch away from Shiryu!" Yukana pouted, especially when she still hated Yuuki for what she had done to her.
Shiryu sighed.
Good job, Saeko!
You really deserve to be my first wife!
Inside excited, but on the surface? Shiryu made a confused expression before glancing at the beautiful purple-haired girl behind him.
"Senpai, what's the reason?"
"There are things I want to learn from Yuuki-san, Shiryu-kun."
What could a beautiful and cool bishoujo like Saeko learn from Miku Yuuki?
Many of them didn't understand.
Yuuki even thought Saeko was cold outside but warm inside, she thanked her and decided to worship her as an older sister!
"Since that's what you want, okay. Miku Yuuki, you will also join our group."
"Thank you very much! I'll use my body to work hard~!"
Yuuki said that flirtatiously.
Yukana glared at her in annoyance.
Shizuka looked dazed as usual.
Yuko was watching everything that happened with an interested expression.
The other girls who saw Rei and Yuuki successfully joining Shiryu's group wanted to do the same. But realizing they couldn't fight and weren't as pretty as those two girls, they were desperate.
Would they be left here?
"For the rest of you, you can all at least escape the school by bus."
Shiryu was not too cruel but also not too kind to take everyone along.
That's why he pointed out a school bus that the protagonist group used in the original work.
The remaining girls were disappointed that Shiryu hadn't changed his mind about taking them along. One of them asked, "But who can drive it?"
"These boys also look unreliable."
The girls glanced at Takashi and the other boy with disdain.
Shiryu knew this question was coming, he grinned and glanced at a fat boy hiding with a girl behind a certain car.
"You two can ask them for help! One is a weapons otaku and the other is a self-proclaimed genius."
"Who are you calling a self-proclaimed genius!?"
A tsundere-sounding voice refuted what he said.
It was Saya Takagi, she and a boy named Kohta Hirano had been hiding and watching for a long time.
While Saya walked over with annoyance on her face, Kohta looked awkward and wondered how Shiryu knew his hobby?
"That's you of course."
"I'm not! I'm really a genius and instead of following these girls, I want to join your group!"
"Oh, this is a bit troublesome."
"What do you mean!? You think I'm a troublesome girl?!"
Come to think of it, Shiryu once called her a troublesome girl in his diary.
A vein stood out on Saya's forehead.
Instead of answering, Shiryu glanced at Kohta and threw a key at him. Before coming here, he had taken it from the teacher's office.
Kohta reflexively caught it.
"Boy, I leave the girls to you. Go to a safe place with them."
"What?"
"Are you deaf?"
"No! B-But Shiryu-kun... I also want to join your group if possible."
Kohta was reluctant to go by bus.
Although he had driving skills, he wanted to go with Shiryu.
Shiryu made a disgusted expression. "Do you like girls?"
"Of course!"
Kohta's lips twitched, did Shiryu misunderstand him?
"Then, go on the bus."
"....."
He wanted to argue with Shiryu about that, but the zombies in the school started walking towards the parking lot.
Not only him, many of them were panicking.
Reluctantly, Kohta immediately picked up Takashi because in his opinion, he was the one who could be his leader in his group.
He also asked the girls to wake up the other boys and go to the bus immediately.
Under desperate circumstances, an otaku could even lead a group.
Shiryu did not remain silent, he told the girls in his group to quickly get into his car.
"What about me?" Saya asked anxiously.
Shiryu glanced at her hesitantly before answering, "You're a young lady from the Takagi family, you can come with us."
"You're letting me come just because of my family background?" Saya pouted.
Shiryu was already walking towards, he didn't bother to answer.
"Hey wait for me!"
Saya chased after him and eventually got into the same car as them.
Actually, she wanted to say something about Takashi.
But seeing what happened earlier where he defended Shido and was defeated by Shiryu.
She was disappointed and not stupid enough to ask Shiryu to allow the boy to come with them.
Before leaving the school gate, Shiryu momentarily saw the figure of protagonist Junichi who was running with some girls. One of them was Yui, they were chasing after the school bus driven by Kohta.
Only when Kohta seemed to slam on the brakes and let them get on, he stopped caring.
"Shizuka-sensei, increase the speed and don't stop even if there are people trying to stop us."
"In this situation, they probably just want to snatch our vehicle and think we're easy to deal with."
"Isn't that too much? But okay, Sou-kun~" Shizuka nodded, she was the one driving and she was sitting beside him.
And no, what he said was not too much at all.
Shiryu opened his diary and started writing.
[In the original work, Shizuka would be driving the school bus containing the protagonist group and other students.]
[But due to the naivety of her and the others, especially the protagonist Takashi. They stopped the bus when a group of men blocked their way and begged to come with them.]
[Unfortunately after seeing Takashi get off with pretty girls, they couldn't help lusting and wanted to take over the bus.]
[I hope Kohta won't be so naive to hit the brakes if he finds a similar situation.]
[Oh, and I saw protagonist Junichi boarding his bus with several heroines including Yui.]
[With two protagonists in his group, I doubt they will die easily. After all, people called protagonists have very high luck stats.]
Shiryu didn't write it down in his diary, but he intentionally let the protagonist Takashi live.
He had a premonition that they would meet again and by then, slapping his face again would entertain him.
Honestly, he might be addicted to slapping the protagonist's face.
What about protagonist Junichi?
He's his friend. Don't get me wrong, he accidentally forgot him and luckily he managed to catch the bus.
[You forgot or you don't care about your friend, host?]
I really forgot.
The heroines who saw what Shiryu wrote in her diary now understood something.
It wasn't just zombies that they had to watch out for from today, but humans might be no less dangerous.
For example, when the car they were driving was traveling on the highway, they could see people breaking into convenience stores and committing various other criminal acts.
Saya, Yukana, Rei and Kyoko's expressions looked ugly.
"Those people! Aren't they worried that the police will catch them?" Saya complained.
By the way, there was no trace of nostalgia about Kohta in her heart.
In fact, the two of them accidentally met and hid together when the zombies attacked the school.
But what she didn't know, Kohta had a crush on her.
"Takagi-san, did you see any police along the way?" Saeko asked.
Saya was stunned. "That..."
She didn't see them and didn't realize that she was still a bit naive.
"The police must be busy evacuating officials or other important people. In this situation, they wouldn't waste energy on saving everyone in the country because it would be impossible."
Hearing Saeko's cold reply, Saya widened her eyes.
"N-No way! By the way, my family should be trying to find me, can we..."
"Shiryu-kun is right, you're a troublesome girl, Takagi-san."
"What?!"
I glared at Saeko with a grim face.
Saeko sighed. "Do you know where we're going now?"
"Hmph! I know, it's Shiryu's house, right?"
"Yes, but before that. We're going to the hospital first. The two places we're heading to are in opposite directions of the Takagi family residence. So give up, we can't take you home for now."
"...!"
Without caring about Saya's dissatisfaction, Shiryu wrote again in his diary.
[Speaking of Saya's parents. I remember her father, Souichiro Takagi was the leader of an ultranationalist organization in Tokyo. He was a firm, charismatic leader, and proficient with a sword (a disciple of Saeko's father).]
[But what is most interesting is that he turned his family residence into a fortress of protection for survivors.]
[His wife, Yuriko Takagi. Before marriage, she was a successful stockbroker in New York. Yuriko is fiercely loyal to her husband and is a formidable fighter, proficient in firearms and tactical self-defense.]
[Saya has wonderful parents.]
"Hmph! That's my parents."
Saya was proud to hear what her parents did.
But what Shiryu wrote next surprised her.
[Even so, instead of looking for their daughter in this situation, they prioritized the evacuation of the surrounding residents.]
"L-Lie! Shiryu, you're lying, right? How could my parents not look for their daughter?"
Saya couldn't believe it and wanted to grab the boy sitting in front of her.
But Saeko and Rei grabbed her shoulders, they forced her to sit quietly.
Saya was in pain, she wondered why she was being treated so harshly like this?
Even a bitch like Miku Yuuki wasn't scolded by anyone now.
Shiryu did not answer and continued writing.
[Poor Saya.]
[She has great intelligence and deduction skills, but she is still too naive.]
[The only person who wanted to look for her was her mother, but because she was an overly obedient wife to her husband, she did nothing to look for her daughter.]
[Souichiro is even stranger, this man cares deeply about the safety of the citizens in Tokyo. Since it had happened, he was willing to take on the huge responsibility of providing basic necessities for the survivors in his residence.]
[He has many subordinates, but is very reluctant to send some of them to search for his daughter.]
"....." Saya fell silent, her shoulders drooping.
She herself seemed to believe that her father would do that.
After all, she herself knew what kind of person her father was.
Since childhood, he had always been strict with her and always prioritized work over his family.
Shiryu closed his diary.
At that time, Yuko finally had the chance to say something to him.
"Shiryu-kun, before we get to the hospital. I have an offer for you."
"Sensei, is it about becoming your husband? It's too soon."
Although I'm reluctant to refuse!
Shiryu regretted and wondered if Captain America's figure was that good in the eyes of women?
"..." Everyone.
Silence enveloped the inside of the car.
Yuko gave him a flat look.
"No, I was wondering if you were interested in joining my organization?"
"Not only that, I'm also interested in researching your body."
"Allow me to decline, I'll be busy after this, sensei." Shiryu unhesitatingly refused.
Yuko was a little surprised and disappointed.
Was her offer not interesting?
Since Shiryu knew the original work, he should have known there were other beauties besides her in her organization.
Shiryu really knew, and it wasn't that he wasn't interested in those women. But joining an organization like Black Label was just too much trouble.
A few moments later.
"Stop here." Yuko said.
Shizuka obeyed and asked, "Ehh, but Yuko... The hospital where you work is still quite far ahead."
"I know, but I'll walk there myself from here."
Under their gaze, Yuko got out of the car and waved with a smile at them.
Then, she turned around and walked into an alley.
"Will Yuko-sensei be alright? From here, I can even see a lot of zombies near the hospital."
Saya asked worriedly.
Shiryu shook his head, "Saya, did you forget Yuko-sensei's other identity?"
"Ah, she's an assassin of a certain organization!?"
She remembered but did that mean she was powerful enough to enter the hospital alone?
How would she get past those zombies?
"Yes and she's very strong. I'm not even sure I can defeat her with just my current physical strength."
"!?!?" Not just Saya, Saeko and the other women in the car didn't expect Shiryu to say that.
Shiryu suddenly got an idea and opened his diary again.
[I'm not lying, Yuko is really strong. Unlike me who was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, she was injected with the drug D99 as a teenager. This gave her super-human physical strength, speed, stamina, endurance, and healing abilities that far surpass normal humans.]
[She has a natural talent in the art of swordfighting (kendo) and practiced intensively for a long time. She is the main user of the "Sagiri Style," a sword fighting technique passed down from her family.]
[As a doctor or surgeon, she has an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy. This allows her to strike an opponent's vital points with fatal precision, often claiming that her attacks are so efficient that her victims feel no pain when they die.]
[That's why instead of being Yuko's enemy, I'd rather be her husband.]
What man out there doesn't want the same thing!?
The heroines in the car rolled their eyes.
Still, the description of Yuko's power was truly frightening.
Saeko didn't even expect the woman she previously protected to be many times stronger than her.
