Decision/After finishing his conversation with Saya's father, Akira returned to his room to rest.
Saeko was there waiting for him.
"You're back," Saeko greeted him with a sweet smile upon seeing him.
Hugging Saeko and inhaling her scent, Akira felt relaxed and calm, though for some reason, he felt quite tired after completing everything.
Although he had initially been casually collecting zombies, the news from Saeko changed the situation and atmosphere.
Akira had to think quickly to resolve the situation, and he quickly made the decision to immediately rescue Saeko and the others.
Fortunately, his efforts paid off, thanks to his speed and strength, coupled with the mobility of the armored car.
He was able to break through the horde of zombies blocking his path.
From there, Akira managed to save them all and ultimately helped Saya's father identify the mastermind behind the incident.
A closer look reveals that the current zombie wave is no mere coincidence.
There are certain parties riding on it, hoping for good fortune amidst everyone's misfortune.
With this additional information, Mr. Takagi will surely be able to quickly identify the mastermind behind the current events.
And Akira certainly won't let go of those who harbor ill intentions towards him and those closest to him.
However, his focus has shifted now, where he will bask in the warmth of Saeko's affection.
"Would you like to take a bath together?" A charming and seductive voice sounded from Saeko's sweet lips.
Akira, of course, didn't object, and swiftly wrapped his arms around Saeko's waist and kissed her sweet lips passionately.
"Mmmmmmmmmm," after breaking their kiss, Akira, without another word, carried Saeko to the bathroom in their room.
Fortunately, there was no power outage, and they were still able to take a bath using the automatic water heater.

The next day, Akira woke up and pondered his next move.
He had already managed to collect a sufficient number of zombies in his space, but it was still insufficient to advance to the next level.
Therefore, he was now faced with a dilemma: on the one hand, he had to collect as many zombies as possible and immediately change the world's destiny. The system required him to change at least 20% of it.
This was certainly no small feat, and he had to cling to the protagonists in this world.
Akira felt that the development had been taking a long time, and he felt he couldn't be restrained from acting more freely.
Although he liked all the female characters in this world, with the exception of Saiko, who had now become his woman,
The rest of his relationships could only be described as casual, and considering the attitudes of the women, with the exception of Shizuka, who seemed to be developing deeper feelings for him.
Neither Rei nor Saya had any feelings for each other beyond mere acquaintances.
This was understandable, after all, because their acquaintance only lasted a few days, and it was impossible to develop deeper feelings in such a short time.
Furthermore, the presence of Hirano and Takashi also played a role. Their departure from Saya's home, as in the story, was due to a wave of nuclear attacks prepared by the government.
It seems they haven't arrived yet, so the price is still enough to enjoy a relatively safe life in Saya's territory.
So, in this case, Akira naturally felt he needed a much faster process.
And with the addition of his armored car, their security would certainly be much better if he had to take Saeko with him when leaving.
"Saeko, I think we need to get out of here!" Akira spoke to Saeko about his thoughts.
"Why do you think that? Will we be safe enough here?" Saeko asked again.
"I feel like with those still targeting us in the dark, the future isn't very optimistic for this place.
Furthermore, I don't feel particularly free here to some extent," Akira explained.
"Well, then, let's get out of here, but we need to talk to Saya and the others," Saeko replied.
After fully dedicating herself to being Akira's woman, Saeko felt she would… He supports every decision Akira makes.
So, if his girlfriend wants to leave, he'll happily follow.
"Umm, thank you, honey," Akira replied, kissing Saiko's forehead as a thank you for her support.
######
In my front yard, a slightly sad atmosphere seems to be enveloping me and the others. This happened because Akira and Saeko decided to leave their home.
Upon hearing their decision, both Shizuka and I initially questioned their reasons for making this decision.
Furthermore, after experiencing several dangers, they've come to know each other quite well, especially during times when they were in dangerous situations.
Both Saeko and Akira are willing to sacrifice themselves to keep them safe. This alone demonstrates their good qualities and is worth maintaining as close friends.
But unfortunately, it seems their persuasion and coaxing to keep them here have failed.
Because Saeko and Akira reasoned that they needed to go elsewhere to check on someone they knew,
After hearing the reason behind their departure, no one tried to stop them. They simply offered their blessings and supplies.
"If you've found the person you're looking for and feel like there's no suitable place for you to stay,
You can always come back here; we'll warmly welcome you," Mr. Takagi said to the two of them.
"That's right, don't push yourself too hard; if you're really having trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help here." Yuriko also spoke up, expressing her opinion.
"Senpai, be careful and let us know if you need any help," I also spoke.
"Er…although I'd like to come with you too, I realize I won't be of much help, so I'll pray for your safety and wait for you to come back here to invite me out next time," Shizuka spoke with a slightly suppressed voice.
The others also offered their blessings and prayers, "Don't worry, we'll definitely return if we need your help, and if you need any, don't hesitate to let us know." Akira also spoke, expressing his intentions.
"We're leaving, so please wait for our news," Saeko said, bidding farewell. She felt she wasn't very skilled at saying long sentences, so it was better to cut this farewell short.
So, the armored car driven by Akira was seen leaving Saya's residence.
