[HOTD] Chapter 57 – Las Plagas

"I see."

In short, a failure. They didn't become zombies or bio weapons and just died pathetically.

"Alright, second question... What kind of serum did you want to find?"

Upon hearing that, John tensed up visibly.

"Eh? Ehm..." He stammered nervously. "That thing..."

"Did you think we didn't hear what you said when you entered the lab?" I said threateningly.

Seeing no alternative method available in order to survive except providing information requested, Davis complied readily.

Thus, he began narrating once more after taking deep breaths beforehand to calm himself down. "The thing I sought... Is an antidote. I-I heard that one of them is inside the safe in the facility down there."

"A zombie antidote"

"NO!!" John shouted in panic then added softly afterward. "I-I wanted it because— I heard that you can develop an antivirus using it."

So, you wanted it because it's an important substance.

"And the final question."

Davis was still pale, looking horrified for being treated like this.

"Who sent you?" I asked tersely.

He blinked twice in surprise at hearing my inquiry. "...Excuse me? W-What are you talking about?"

"Don't act dumb now." I snarled disdainfully. "You're affiliated with Umbrella Corporation! If someone from your workplace heard that one of their biggest investments has gone rogue, sending agents here shouldn't be impossible for them! Am I right?!"

'Umbrella Corp wasn't that nice. These zombies were their money makers.'

"H-Hold on! You misunderstood me! I did work for them but I'm no longer loyal to that horrible corporation! And they don't need to send anyone to deal with me because..."

John Davis paused abruptly as realization dawned upon him.

"The Tyrant... He was sent to kill me!"

'Tyrant?'

Now that was interesting. Tyrant Nishimura lingered around that mall back then, yet Umbrella dispatched another agent besides him?

'Were the laboratories independent from each other?'

Or maybe they were connected and this John Davis man was around the mall a few days ago. When he realized the lab was ransacked already, he visited this place to search for clues, and he discovered the underground lab.

Whatever it may be, I wanted to confirm my suspicion first.

"Are you talking about that big giant with ridiculous strength?" Saeko chimed in before me.

Of course she would be curious.

She experienced firsthand how insanely strong Tyrant Nishimura was, thus being interested in knowing further details regarding creatures akin to monsters must surely intrigue her curiosity greatly.

"Yes. An artificial human designed by the corporation. Although I am unsure which model was used, its sole purpose remains unchanged despite differences between models, namely extermination."

John Davis answered calmly before continuing with evident anger evident across his facial features, clenching his fists tightly whilst gritting teeth furiously, glaring fiercely towards floor beneath feet.

"Those bastards sent a monster like him to assassinate me!"

Judging by his reaction, it appeared whatever happened between himself and whoever hired the assassin wasn't particularly pleasant nor happy memories worth remembering fondly.

But then again, why would the Umbrella Corporation dispatch Tyrant to kill this man? Did that mean Tyrant Nishimura that we defeated was actually sent for this man here?

I chose to kill it by following the system choice. So this was the result of that choice?

[Ding! You have received 300 Shop Points!]

As if confirming my thought, the system gave me the reward for the latest choice.

"I see... So the creature I fought in the mall was meant for you." I commented nonchalantly while resting my finger on the trigger, "Say, who is the most responsible person regarding the creation of these zombies?"

"Well..." John Davis contemplated for several moments, staring intently downwards towards tiles composing office building interior design's flooring surface, "It depends on which branch you refer to exactly, but generally speaking I don't know."

"Hmm?" Saeko narrowed her eyes suspiciously, observing his face closely.

"I-I was only a lowly researcher assigned to test a few things. I-I don't know anything more than what I told you." John Davis stammered anxiously.

"Is that so?" My brows creased ever so slightly, "Let's test it out then."

"W-Wait, wait!" John Davis raised his hands instinctively in a surrender gesture before pleading desperately for mercy. "I really don't know much more beyond my tasks! Believe me!"

'I don't believe it.'

Umbrella Corporation wouldn't send a Tyrant over him if he was just a worthless pawn.

They probably sent it to retrieve his corpse. Maybe they needed a brain of his? Or, they just wanted to silence him.

Whatever the case may be, I deemed him untrustworthy.

Hence, I pulled the trigger and shot him straight at his head.

Bang!

A hole appeared right between his wide eyes. I stepped back, expecting him to fall dead in a moment. However, what greeted my sight shocked both myself and Saeko.

"What the hell!?!"

John's skin turned pale with red veins appearing all over his exposed parts. His wound healed instantly, revealing a new fresh forehead with an intact skull.

"He... How?" I muttered in shock after witnessing such an unnatural phenomenon unfold right before mine own two eyes.

"Brother!"

Saeko immediately unsheathed her sword and beheaded John Davis decisively, looping his head and separating it completely from the rest of his body.

At that moment, his body convulsed violently as black blood spurted forth abundantly, spraying across the entire area. A strange movement could be seen around his severed neck, like an insect leg, twisting around in vain.

Then, with a spurt, a tentacle emerged from his headless neck, resembling a grotesque worm-like appendage covered in pulsating red veins.

It wriggled around erratically, forming a sharp spike made purely out of solidified muscle mass protruding from the topmost portion. Within moments it grew exponentially larger becoming nearly a meter tall, towering threateningly above us.

'Las Plagas!' I recognized it easily thanks to playing RE 4 multiple times.

A parasite originating from Spain,. If I remembered correctly, the game also described it as having intelligence, allowing them to communicate with others. That was the dominant one.

Las Plagas started out as tiny organisms burrowed within human hosts, manipulating them through nerve signals, granting incredible regeneration abilities and turning ordinary people into ferocious creatures capable of attacking anyone indiscriminately.

Just like zombies, but different.

To think that John Davis was infected with one! Could this be the safety key that all Umbrella Corporation researchers carried?

"It looks ugly." Saeko remarked calmly whilst slicing off the newly sprouted tentacle, causing it to fall lifelessly onto tiled floor with a sickening plop sound, spurting out copious amounts of foul smelling pus in process.

Thud!

I looked at the corpse quietly.

Investigating the lab again might be a good idea. If my guess was right, then the antidote that John Davis talked about was one that could kill the Las Plagas inside our bodies. Having it would guarantee our survival even if we were unlucky enough to meet them.

'Damn.'

[HOTD] Chapter 56 – Researcher

More chapter will be uploaded later.

***

"Eeek!" Surprised scream escaped from his lips, "W-Wait, d-don't hurt me!"

"I won't as long as you obey and keep silent. Now, who are you?"

"H-How did you ent—"

"Answer my question." I snapped impatiently at the man.

He trembled violently beneath pressure exerted upon his body by Saeko's katana. The blade gleamed under the luminescent light.

"Tell us your identity and affiliation right now or die instantly without mercy."

If he resisted further then I wouldn't hesitate to dispose of him here regardless of circumstances surrounding him.

But then, I also had to be careful when dealing with this man. I didn't want him to die before giving us information.

When dealing with an organization like Umbrella Corporation, killing one agent was acceptable in order to prevent leaking intel. I couldn't lower my guard even though there was no one here.

Thankfully, he gave in easily enough.

"I-I work here. Please let me go. I haven't done anything wrong..."

"If so," I responded coldly. "What exactly was it that made you panic?"

"N-Nothing special. I came here for s-safety... Hahaha—"

Obviously he was lying through his teeth.

Saeko applied more pressure to his throat as punishment. Blood began trickling down the side of my neck.

"Eeek!" He cried out once again but refrain himself from crying excessively thanks to her sharp glare directed his way.

After seeing his pitiful state however, she loosened hold slightly allowing him room to breathe normally albeit painfully still. His voice became strained and hoarse afterward. "...f-fine, I'll tell you. B-but can we discuss this somewhere safer first?"

'Safer?'

I raised my eyebrows and observed him. His eyes darted around at some corners.

And I realized, there were hidden cameras installed here.

"Keep your blade. I will tie him up."

"Please! Don't hurt me—" He begged loudly only for his mouth covered with cloth we found in the corner.

Then, using the rope we brought for emergency, I tied him securely and forced him to follow us. We left the room with his keycard, bringing him back above ground.

I really wanted to destroy that underground lab, but I decided to keep it that way so Don Takagi and his men could investigate it for me. Who knows if the information stored in it may be useful.

Also, destroying it wouldn't sit right for me. It's a bad idea to detonate something big like that. The vials inside the lab could as well be T-Virus or some prototype G-Virus.

Destroying them risked infecting me and Saeko by mistake, hence, it was wiser leaving them alone until experts dealt with the problem appropriately later down the line. Once everyone's evacuated away from the city, I would consider doing something extreme then.

However, our captive may have information regarding matters regarding these viruses or chemicals, which meant interrogating him thoroughly must take precedence first.

In other words...

"Hmm!! Hmmmm! Puhaa!"

...time for some violence.

Thud!!

"P-Please, spare meee!"

I slammed him onto the wall and pointed my gun at his head.

We were right now on the second floor of the police station, in an abandoned office that seemed to have a good soundproof. Here, our voices wouldn't extend outside and attract the zombies.

There was also no camera here because this was an important room where the police had a conversation regarding a secret topic. They couldn't risk anything, even security cameras.

"If you don't wanna die, then talk. Don't worry about anyone hearing this."

"W-Wait, please..." He pleaded again. "I-I'm just a researcher."

"Good. You're the perfect candidate." I cracked a sly smile.

It seemed like I hit a jackpot.

"A-Alright... Alright! Just, please, stop pushing me onto the wall." He relented dejectedly. "I will explain everything, so..."

"Go ahead." I smiled widely, enjoying my newfound authority. "Your name and affiliation."

He gulped nervously. Then, he proceeded to answer my questions hesitantly.

"My name is Davis, John Davis, an American citizen. I work as a senior researcher under the command of William Birkin, a brilliant scientist working on a development project titled 'G' for the Umbrella USA Branch."

I kept pressing him for answers throughout the next half hour or so, gaining invaluable details regarding current happenings inside this particular establishment.

"We had branches in Japan and China, mainly conducting research projects concerning various biological weapons utilizing various viruses developed by our company such as t-virus and g-virus," explained John nervously while sweating profusely.

"Tyrants series, lickers, hunters... All kinds of bio-organic weapons or BOW in short. The goal is to create powerful and intelligent weapons capable of slaughtering many targets in the shortest amount of time possible."

"That's..." Saeko muttered with a grimace, "...really messed up."

"Yeah..." I trailed off absentmindedly. "You guys are fucked up. Anyway, I have three questions."

He flinched noticeably when hearing my tone of voice before nodding fearfully, indicating willingness to cooperate fully.

"First of all, about this outbreak. Did your people have anything to do with this incident?" I questioned sternly.

"No! Never! We never intended anything like this to occur!"

He answered without hesitation almost instantaneously upon receiving the query.

"So, no Umbrella Corp personnel released these creatures intentionally then?"

"Absolutely not!"

I stared deep into his frightened eyes trying to discern whether he spoke truly or merely attempting to mislead us away from truth.

Maybe he was just a low-ranking researcher and knew nothing at all?

Or perhaps Umbrella simply didn't bother involving themselves directly with matters like this?

Either way, I took his answer at face value for now.

"Then why were there two laboratories belonging to your company located here? This is Japan. Your facility shouldn't be present in this country."

"W-Well, technically speaking," replied John shakily, "We actually own property everywhere around the globe including Asia. Our HQ happens to reside within America however. As far as I understand, this particular location houses facilities dedicated towards experimental purposes. Medicine, I mean."

Medicinal products meant pills and others, correct? But they were still experimenting with dangerous stuff secretly here, weren't they?

'And the result ended up in failure.' I shook my head mentally.

"So you created vaccines for viruses?" Saeko chimed in unexpectedly, surprising me somewhat considering she hadn't spoken since entering office together with our hostage earlier.

John hesitated for several seconds before responding slowly.

"No, there is no vaccine, unfortunately."

"No antidote?" She frowned slightly at his revelation, prompting him to continue the explanation quickly.

"We tried making prototypes but ultimately failed miserably. Everything produced was either ineffective, completely useless against effects caused by these viral strains or resulted in fatal outcomes resulting in death within mere minutes after injection."

"You mean..."

"Yes. Test subjects died shortly after exhibiting similar symptoms shown by those infected individuals roaming outside."

I Have Tooth Surgery Today

I just had my tooth surgery today and terrible headache made me unable to write.

I will post 2 chapters of each HOTD and Dungeon tomorrow. Please be understanding T_T

Have a nice day!

[HOTD] Chapter 55 – Suspicious Man

The underground's hallway was dark and narrow. The air smelled stale with faint traces of smoke lingering about. 

Dust had accumulated everywhere causing me to cough whenever breathing in. Insects skittered across floors and walls creating soft buzzing noises akin to cicadas chirping outdoors.

Zombies growled softly amidst shadows lurking throughout unseen corners.

I clicked on the flashlight mounted atop my rifle.

Two corpses laid motionlessly nearby; their uniforms indicated police officers while pistols gripped firmly between their fingers.

Several empty shells scattered throughout the surrounding vicinity. The bodies appeared fresh; probably less than thirty minutes ago according to the smell.

"Hm..." Saeko scanned through the surroundings warily, eyeing everything carefully as if expecting ambush from every direction possible.

"Let's move." I motioned for her to follow.

We tread lightly through a dim corridor and arrived at a room with cubicles filled with computer monitors connected via cables attached directly into sockets embedded in ceilings. Everything looked untouched aside from bloodstains splattered against tiles.

Empty cartridges littered across the carpeted floor indicating intense battle ensued within the confines of these rooms earlier today.

There was one corpse sitting limply against a wall adjacent to the door leading deeper into the facility; likely killed during a struggle between fellow policemen.

"Bullet wound." I commented after inspecting the victim's injury closely, "He was shot point blank. Maybe a friendly fire or he got betrayed."

A pool of crimson liquid stained shirts beneath the man's uniform. Judging by the size of the stain and the amount of time it took me to assess the situation here, his life must've been over shortly following his demise.

"They were overwhelmed." Saeko concluded solemnly. "Either someone panicked, betrayed others, or they were unlucky enough to encounter zombies that came back faster."

"Yeah..." I nodded in agreement.

They could have survived had luck played out differently for them... But something was strange.

"Why did they run to the basement instead of getting out of this place?"

"Now that you mentioned it..." Saeko frowned slightly before continuing her words, "...it does feel unnatural. If they went downstairs to hide from danger, the way we came from is too risky."

I nodded again.

"Yeah... I guess there must be another exit or—"

Tsk-tsk-tsk—

"—an important reason."

"Like?" Saeko turned her gaze towards me expectantly as I peered around once more to make sure nothing else lurked nearby while pondering over the possibility of alternative escape.

Usually, underground like this had ventilation shafts large enough to fit human bodies or even maintenance tunnels similar to subway systems in most cities nowadays.

I had already confirmed Umbrella Corporation had something to do in this underground. However, I underestimated how large their scale was in the Highschool Of The Dead universe.

As my thoughts drifted elsewhere momentarily, footsteps interrupted us.

Saeko reacted swiftly by grabbing onto my arm tightly before pulling herself closer toward me until our faces mere centimeters apart.

Our breaths intermingled briefly before her eyes roamed around. We were hidden behind the door frame, away from the direct line of sight of whoever was approaching us.

I put down M1A1 and pulled out my handgun, pointing it at the doorway.

Click— Clack— Click— Clack...

Judging from their uneven footsteps, the person was running. And from the sound, there was only one.

After a few moments passed by, the figure revealed himself to be a young man dressed in a grey suit and blue striped tie. He looked haggard yet handsome.

His disheveled appearance gave him a wild look despite his suit.

He appeared stressed judging from his tense muscles.

"Huff... Huff...Huff... I need to run... It should be here, the serum!"

The man panted heavily as he leaned against the wall beside the entrance leading further down below. Blood stained his right sleeve near elbow region suggesting he received injury sometime before entering.

When his chest rose up and down due to labored breathing, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly up and down along with rhythmic movement. His eyes darted around frantically.

He disappeared into the darkness, only then did I come out of my hiding space.

I looked at Saeko and nodded. We agreed silently and followed the man. I doubted he'd get far ahead considering how wounded he seemed earlier.

Besides, if we encountered problems later on, we could always deal with it. The path he took involved a few turns here and there, which meant he was familiar with the layout of this laboratory.

Suddenly, he stopped moving altogether in front of a double door.

Saeko and I stopped too, crouching behind the corner, watching the man fumble around. He used a keycard to unlock the door, entered the code, and opened it.

Beep!

Then he quickly disappeared inside without noticing us. The door was quickly closed after that.

Saeko raised an eyebrow questioningly but said nothing as she waited patiently behind me.

"What should we do, brother?" She finally asked quietly after noticing my hesitation to act immediately.

We weren't pressed for time so I decided to observe the situation calmly rather than rush things carelessly like usual.

Unfortunately, we had no such luxury.

"...Let's follow him."

"But..." Her expression showed reluctance for some reason although it soon disappeared entirely when seeing my determined stare. "Yes."

Afterward, we moved toward the door. I tried to open it manually, but it was no use. We had to use a keycard just like what he did a moment ago.

'I might not know the password, but...'

I had something I picked up from Tyrant's body last time in my bag. A keycard with Umbrella Corporation's symbol printed on it.

"Let's try this." I pulled the card and swiped it on the scanner.

Bip! Click!

[Level 2 authorization confirmed!]

With a successful entry granted by the system, the door opened and we stepped inside.

The room turned out much larger compared to previous ones previously visited prior to arrival here. Rows upon rows of shelves containing vials filled with various colored liquids greeted our presence accompanied by several tables lined neatly across the center portion of the spacious chamber.

"Hurry up!! Find it!!"

The man from earlier didn't realize our presence and instead yelled desperately while rummaging through different cabinets, searching desperately for certain items among countless piles stacked atop tables nearby him.

Meanwhile, Saeko approached me slowly until we were close enough for her to put her sword in his neck.

"Don't move."

[Dungeon] Chapter 59 – Devils’ Scheme

A friendly relationship was established between two different dimensions. And at that moment, someone came in and intruded into their conversation.

"Oh, there are a lot of people here."

Clang clang!

The person who suddenly appeared wore full-body iron armor. He smiled as he approached. Unlike the others, he was alone. He didn't even try to hide his sword and shield, carrying it openly with pride.

At that moment, Sirzechs realized this guy was also from another world but different from the two groups in front of him.

"A knight?" Rias muttered from behind, referring to his choice of appearance.

Jiraiya was interested in him the most as he examined this newcomer closely before deciding whether or not to talk with him later. The clothes he wore were vastly different from the one introducing himself as Sirzechs Lucifer.

'He's not from their place. He's wearing metal armor, a strange choice. How can he move comfortably in that?' Jiraiya deduced correctly. 'Hmm. Interesting.'

"It seems our numbers keep increasing..." Said the Toad Sage while keeping his guard up. "Say, new guy. What's your name? I am Jiraiya, and there are Gaara and Sirzechs over here." He introduced the rest of the members politely and courteously.

"My name's Cain. Just Cain. And my username in the chatroom is Steel Ball." The armored individual answered briefly yet pleasantly nonetheless.

"Aaah!" Naruto yelled loudly as Cain introduced himself, "Steel Ball? The new guy? Whoa, nice to meet ya! I am Naruto, and I am Future Hokage!"

Shikamaru facepalmed hard when he saw Naruto introducing himself like an idiot once again. Seriously though, did that boy ever learn any social skills whatsoever?

Though thankfully nothing bad came out of this encounter considering how friendly everyone seemed so far. Even stranger was that nobody here had malicious intent towards them which meant it could've been much worse...

Still... "Troublesome." He whispered quietly under his breath before returning his attention towards the rest of their group.

They talked for a bit before Cain suddenly brought up the topic about the dungeon.

"Are you entering the Tower of Resentment?"

"Yes. That is what we came here for." Sirzechs answered. "But if Mr. Jiraiya wants to enter with his group, we will enter a different dungeon. Though, I am sure all of us have a similar objective." Then, he looked at the armored man. "What about you?"

"I just want to stay here. Hahaha, I ran away from my work. I have a bunch of workers taking care of things so I will slack off a bit here!" He said cheerily.

"Very well then." Sirzechs Lucifer glanced between each person present within their vicinity before continuing, "Perhaps we should separate accordingly? We will enter Elemental Tower this time, if you don't mind."

"Not at all, please do so." Jiraiya gave them permission freely without hesitation.

Nodding slightly, Sirzechs gestured towards Rias who quickly followed him. The Devil group disappeared soon after that.

"I guess it's just us left in here," noted Gaara nonchalantly. "I heard from Kankurou that the dungeon is dangerous. Mr. Jiraiya, would you be alright to explore the dungeon together?"

"I'd like to suggest the same. I guess we have the same idea in mind." Jiraiya smirked widely as he extended his hand forward, offering a handshake which Gaara accepted readily.

Naruto looked excited as hell upon seeing both parties come to mutual understanding. He pumped his fist energetically.

"Yeah! Let's kick some ass! It's been a long time since we fought together, Gaara! And hey, are you sure you're not going to go into the dungeon?"

The Kyuubi Jinchuriki looked at Cain curiously, causing the said armored person to nod vigorously.

"I have seen enough already. As long as you told me your experiences later, that would be good!"

The blond haired shinobi stared intently at Cain, pondering whether or not he should trust this mysterious newcomer completely or just ignore him altogether.

Shikamaru sighed exasperatedly while rubbing his temples lightly.

"The person himself said he won't enter. No need to force him."

Hearing his fellow ninja's voice, Naruto stopped looking at Cain for a brief second and focused entirely on Gaara instead. The Kazekage merely shrugged indifferently.

"Then let's go. Let me tell you, the monsters inside are so strong, Ero Sennin!"

"Hoh? You better prove it by showing me yourself then." The self proclaimed super-pervert chuckled playfully.

"Alright, we'll see!"

Watching as the trio stepped through the portal, Cain sat down and took out a handheld gaming device. Right, if he was tired gaming in his room, he could always visit the hub and take a breather.

"This is life, ain't it?"

At that moment, he saw the Devils' group returning from the Elemental Tower. He quickly hid his device and looked at them curiously. Sirzechs smiled at him before entering the Tower of Resentment .

"Oh, I see." A grin crept onto Cain's face.

Earlier, the Devils didn't enter the Elemental Tower. Instead, they used their magic to disappear somewhere else. Teleportation, maybe?

Then, they returned like nothing happened.

"Maybe I will be able to see a group battle in the dungeon soon. Uwahahaha!" Cain laughed as he imagined the scene. 

Dungeons meant battle. Battle meant death!

Nothing more entertaining than that.

Blood! Gore! Tragedy! Misery! Death!

When these three groups of talented individuals with various abilities entered his dungeon and started fighting their way up to the very top floor; that was what happened to their opponent regardless of gender nor age alike!

At least, that's what should've been!

"I need to return to the throne room and put a bait..."

A grin slowly made its way across Cain's features.

"I know just what will attract these three groups. Oooh~ I can't wait for it!"

Cain then looked at his watch.

"Good! Time to announce it in the Chat Room too!"

The more the merrier.

[HOTD] Chapter 54 – Raid

A smile tugged the corner of her lips. She knew that boy would survive. The boy who somehow knew a lot about guns and was enthusiastic about them.

Her friend, a highschool nurse, introduced him to her. Though she didn't quite like it at first, they quickly found common interest after knowing each other better.

Moreover, being a part of the Busujima family who were known to be martial artists in Japan made the boy an excellent fighter. Or so she assumed.

"Let's see..."

The message was pretty short but on point.

Boy: Miss Shizuka is safe. I took your guns. And we will go to Chicago soon.

"Not bad, boy." The woman grinned.

A loud explosion from afar didn't bother her at all. She only raised her head slightly and frowned.

"It's time to leave."

The people inside the police station were experts, known for their skills of survival in extreme situations.

Rika didn't need to linger any longer. Her mission of protecting them to reach the police station safely had concluded.

A sniper didn't overstay their welcome.

And so she packed up and left the city, returning back to Chicago in her motorbike.

***

We arrived at the same conclusion.

Going to the airport to find a pilot and a plane would be the fastest route available since JSDF were too busy managing the situation. Moreover, we had no way to gain trust from them just for us to request transport service.

Thus, we geared up for our trip.

Humvee was still functioning well after refilling the tank, so it became our primary transportation. As for protection? Well, the black armored car was already bulletproof and sturdy. So, it's kinda alright if I said, adding more protection is unnecessary.

Unless it's really necessary, like putting spikes on its body to make sure zombies would suffer massive injuries when it collided against them.

"The city is so empty." Saya commented, looking around from inside the passenger seat. "Just what the heck is happening? Where are the people?"

I shrugged at her words.

"Dead?" I suggested dryly.

"Of course, genius." She replied sarcastically.

I ignored her sarcasm and focused on looking out.

What Saya said had truth in it. Compared to the number of zombies and people I saw in the first day, the corpses on the ground were less numerous while there were no humans besides us. This means there were little to no people running around or fighting for survival.

Where were the other corpses?

Well, I noticed some being piled up in corners, like in the shadowed area below stairs or beside trees. Most of the zombies were clustered together on sidewalks where they seemed to converge in a single spot.

Did people turn into zombies and they all gathered here to die? Or were there survivors moving these corpses?

But who? Who would move corpses to certain spots? The police or military should be helping survivors, not picking dead bodies. And civilians wouldn't be willing to touch them.

Anyway, despite these questions lingering within my mind, we finally reached our destination. Or at least, nearly reaching our destination. There were too many abandoned vehicles blocking our way, forcing us to stop some distance from the police station.

"The area here looks crowded though." Saya pointed out, referring to the number of zombies.

"Many people must be flying to the police to ask for help. It's natural that there are more zombies here, considering the chaos on the first day." I deduced. "I will go to the police station with Saeko first. Saya and Miss Shizuka should stay here. Please get the vehicle ready in case we need to run."

Saya pursed her lips, clearly unhappy.

"I want to go inside too." She demanded childishly. "How come only you and her enter? That's unfair!"

"And risk your life?"

As I said that, her body froze and she swallowed hard.

'Right? You don't want that.'

I wanted her to learn and accept that it was okay to avoid danger, especially when it wasn't something worth risking lives for.

Anyway, I got out of the car carrying an M1A1 and Wildcat crossbow. Saeko also took her katana and her riot shotgun with her. She didn't want to be helpless when her blade couldn't cut her opponent again.

Both of us moved cautiously as we approached the gate.

The atmosphere suddenly changed once we stepped past the cars. Zombies groaned louder, filling the streets with an eerie atmosphere, like a scene taken straight out of a horror film.

Fortunately, it wasn't all that terrifying. As long as I paid attention to my surroundings and avoided making noises, we could pass without issue. Slowly advancing while staying alert every step of the way took longer than expected but we eventually made it safely.

Once near the gate, a pair of zombies stumbled forward to greet us.

Crunch!

Saeko thrust her katana between their temples, piercing them instantly. Her movements were swift and fluid; no hesitation whatsoever.

Their brains ceased functioning and fell backward lifelessly afterwards.

"Hmm, this is sharp." She mused as she looked at her new blade, one of the collections in our house.

"Glad you like it." I whispered while peeking at the gate. "Now, then... The air here is so unpleasant. I have a bad feeling about this place."

"Yes." Her brows furrowed slightly before turning towards me.

I stared deeply into her eyes for a brief moment, trying to read her emotion beneath her stoic expression. What I found was anxiety mixed with anticipation. She wasn't afraid of danger nor fearful of death but anxious about unknown possibilities and hoping for something unexpected to occur during our search.

Something more exciting than zombies... The idea of having a durable killing target to test her strength on... Just like the Tyrant we met last time.

She yearned to hone her skill in actual combat again.

"Ready?" I broke off my stare, focusing back on the task ahead. "Let's check inside. Be careful, though."

With that said, we began searching the perimeter outside the police building. Nothing out of the ordinary. The interior was clean as far as we could tell. No sign of blood anywhere or corpses lying around everywhere. There were even signs posted telling civilians to evacuate.

No traces of violence were detected. The front door wasn't destroyed. Rather strange considering the amount of zombies outside the station.

'It was easy to deal with zombies in small numbers... The police probably barricaded themselves inside?'

But then, as we advanced, the strangeness of the atmosphere increased exponentially.

Despite the number of corpses strewn everywhere, the street itself seemed almost spotless, unlike what one would expect from such chaos.

'The road isn't even bloody.'

My gut feeling told me that there was no active presence within the building. At the same time though, it was unnerving. My intuition was rarely wrong when dealing with dangerous situations, thus I stayed vigilant.

And then, I saw it. A path underground, something that I had been suspecting since arriving at this place. On the entrance, a familiar red and white logo of the biggest biohazard company in the world, Umbrella corporation, was drawn on top of a steel plate.

It read: Underground Laboratory Access.

'There was another lab!'

And just then, I heard multiple gunshots being fired from downstairs, confirming my suspicion. Zombies shrieked in response, presumably startled by whatever caused those sounds.

Shit.

Someone was still alive down there.

"Let's go, sis!"

[Dungeon] Chapter 58 – Rage Dungeon? Is it Possible?!

Back in the throne room, Cain wiped his nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, it looks great now."

The dull room had changed significantly after his remodeling work.

First, he put some decorations around his throne. Some pillars, wall decor and floor patterns that made it look luxurious.

And for himself, he got himself a queen sized bed complete with pillow and mattress that he got from modern dimension.

In front of his bed, a couch and flat screen television equipped with a DVD player and latest playstation was placed. Next to them, a refrigerator, and then a mini kitchen with cooking utensils. 

Lastly, there were bookshelves filled with fantasy books, manga, anime, novels and many more.

All of it was for 9,000 Coins!

He went a little overboard spending all the money earned from forcing Asia to kill the fire orc, but that didn't bother him much since this was for his own sake.

Besides, it would pay off once he gets more people visiting his dungeon. Money spent on leisure and entertainment wouldn't be wasted, unlike in real life. He would stay here forever... Maybe. And these items would serve him well.

"Cough, manga and novels are for reference. I need to create some unique monster myself to make my dungeon interesting."

Also, Cain decided to live modestly as long as possible while saving up for future use all this time. Now that his dungeon was running and all, he figured he could indulge himself somewhat instead of hoarding excess cash indefinitely.

"Might as well try my new entertainment room out now."

Thus, Cain laid down on the comfy bed and grabbed the controller. It felt so comfortable.

In no time at all, he became engrossed in playing games again, enjoying himself fully as usual whenever given the chance. He played a classing super mario bros.

Two hours passed without a sign of anything happening outside, leaving him alone with his game console until finally he hummed.

"Hmm..."

Mario had just saved Princess Daisy when he suddenly opened his mouth, and said,

"With my authority increased, I can create a new dungeon now. Should I use my remaining coins to create one?"

But what?

Playing Mario gave him a bit of inspiration. What if he added Bowser as a boss? The dragon that kept kidnapping Princess Peach, that evil giant turtle-like creature?

He chuckled at the ridiculous idea.

"Aside from video games... Hmm."

Cain sat down on his bed, changing the game. This time, he played a Jump King, a rage game that required multiple tries.

While playing it, Cain realized something.

"A rage dungeon."

Something that he could create.

He quickly jumped onto his bed and opened his dungeon creation menu. He scrolled the long list of settings he could create and found it.

"Anti-Mana, Magic, and Chakra Setting."

Not only that, he could also limit the challengers' strength to a normal human level. No strengthening technique whatsoever was allowed. Their health and stats were limited.

It was some kind of terrain and it cost 20,000 for just that.

"Hmmm..."

Thinking, Cain tried to imagine how people from different worlds reacted when they tried to challenge this new dungeon. He could see the ninja fell in frustration when their jutsu didn't work.

Or maybe the devils who were helpless without being able to fly.

And when he saw the vision of the challengers reaching the top floor only to fall when they almost finished... He could feel a shiver run through his spine.

"Too much." He laughed.

The emotion generated by such frustration was delicious, albeit sick. But, unfortunately, he didn't have enough Coins to buy the necessary settings.

'I can create the base floor and design, but not the crucial part.'

Feeling disappointed, Cain closed the window and rolled on his bed.

Gaming after so long drained him. He only played for a few hours and finished one game, yet his eyes felt so sore, and his fingers hurt a little bit.

It was fun. He'd do it again sometime soon.

"Ugh, time to work. I can't feel tired in this place, but somehow I am so lazy... Argh!" Cain rubbed his temple, muttering curses beneath his breath.

Trying to distract himself from his laziness, he decided to have another run using his avatar. There wasn't really much else he could think about doing right now other than playing around.

Before he connected, however, notifications popped up.

[New challengers have entered the dungeon.]

Then, he saw their faces on the screen he opened.

"Holy... Wait, I need to watch this directly!"

On the screen, three groups suddenly entered in a small number. But what Cain cared most was their identity.

Sirzechs Lucifer with his sister.

Jiraiya entered with Naruto and Shikamaru.

And then there was Gaara and his two teammates.

It was practically all the stars that he liked to watch! He could salivate at this chance.

Now, what would they do?

***

In the hub, the groups met each other.

Both sides looked at one another with a tense atmosphere.

Somehow, the leaders of each group stood in the front, seemingly recognizing each other immediately. Jiraiya and Gaara had recognized each other first, and they approached each other cautiously.

While Sirzechs stood alone across from them. In the distance, Rias could recognize Naruto. She was also familiar with the two people standing behind the red-haired man with large gourd on his back.

'Why gourd?' She mused curiously at the sight before shifting her attention back toward Jiraiya. 'I also don't recognize him. And the one behind him... A pineapple head?'

"Greetings." Sirzechs raised his hand. "I am Sirzechs Lucifer, a visitor. Pleasure to meet you."

Judging from the people's reaction, he thought, 'These guys must be from another world then? Interesting, indeed.'

No one in the world has ever heard the name Lucifer. Even normal people should've heard that name once or twice, recognizing the name as it was written in the Bible or often appeared on the internet.

Because none of them showed recognition of his identity, Sirzechs concluded they came from another world.

"Hahaha! I am just some traveler who loves to write a novel, Jiraiya." The famous sennin responded cheerfully. "Nice to meet you too, Lucifer."

"...Gaara. Of Sunagakure." The red-headed teen followed.

Because the other party didn't introduce their title, Gaara held himself and simply gave them his name.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance."

[HOTD] Chapter 53 – Moving Scheme

"There is a chance that the big zombie we encountered in the mall lab, Tyrant, can appear again," I said seriously.

I intentionally hid the fact that there were probably two labs instead of one. Although they saw one giant zombie, they didn't have knowledge of such a creature existing elsewhere. That's why I chose my words carefully to hide that fact.

"Are you sure?" Saeko inquired.

"No," I answered simply.

Saya then chimed up with a frown on her face.

"What's in the police station, anyway? And why did you need to go there?"

A reasonable question.

I thought of what reason to give, thinking as fast as I could.

"It's on the way to the international airport. I wanted to see if I can secure more weapons in the police station while heading to the port to seek transportation."

"But what about the soldiers? They surely can provide us with some sort of help, right?" Miss Shizuka added.

"That's what I thought too, but then I realized something. Will the JSDF give us their vehicle for free? We're just... high school boys and girls, and a nurse." 

I explained kindly to Miss Shizuka, who looked confused, "If they did agree to send us somewhere, will they take responsibility? I mean, we're literally escaping from our country."

"Erm..." Miss Shizuka furrowed her eyebrows, thinking hard, "What do you mean? Of course they will help, right? We are still civilians..."

"Not quite right," Saya interrupted before Miss Shizuka finished her sentence.

I glanced at the genius girl in interest, wanting her to continue.

"Because Japan is under attack from these zombies, martial law is enacted. JSDF is in charge of restoring peace. Unfortunately, evacuating civilians using one of their military vehicles overseas are..." She paused and shook her head, "...not a priority."

"Exactly." I nodded at her explanation. "We are nothing more than liabilities for them."

"Hmm..." The teacher seemed to think deeper than usual, her face grimaced in frustration, "But, shouldn't they still protect civilians from danger?"

"They do. That's why they created a shelter somewhere." Saeko nodded, "However, giving a vehicle or aircraft just because some civilian asked for it... They won't do that. At most, they will let us stay in the shelters where civilians gather."

"Wait! Is there a place where many civilians gather?" Miss Shizuka widened her eyes, surprised. Her tone sounded hopeful. "Why don't we just stay there then?"

The three of us looked at Miss Shizuka quietly, our eyes staring at hers intently. She was an airhead as always and seemed unable to comprehend our situation.

"Do you want to live together with hundreds of other survivors inside a cramped space?" Saya asked mockingly, her lips curled upward scornfully, "Do you even know what kind of person there is? Criminals, murderers, thieves, rapists... Many horrible people can be there. Not to mention, zombies are pretty much everywhere so they might find us at any moment."

She remembered the mall accident.

"We are safer with four of us compared to when we're grouped together with hundreds of other people." I said quietly.

"Is that so?"

As if having no idea about it, Miss Shizuka tilted her head quizzically.

"I thought we left the mansion because you just didn't want to be bothered and want to have more sex. Am I wrong?"

Saeko and Saya choked on their saliva and coughed violently. The innocent question struck them unaware, leaving both young girls speechless.

Me?

"Pfftt..." I covered my mouth to prevent my laughter coming out, "...pfft hehehehaha—"

I laughed and held my stomach.

Marikawa Shizuka, truly someone whose thoughts were always filled with lewd but pure ideas. Without her, this zombie apocalypse would be grim.

Her expression of confusion made my stomach churn as I tried my hardest to suppress my mirth and smile. Saya and Saeko gawked at the busty blond's words, the former's face beet red, obviously embarrassed.

'Nice job, Miss Shizuka! Keep going!'

I calmed myself and straightened my posture, grinning.

"I told you that we were going overseas, no? I got a message from Miss Rika." I clarified to her.

"Oh. Umm, oh yeah!" The woman blinked cutely, seeming to forget about my initial explanation to the whole gang last night.

"How can you forget?" Saya huffed, annoyed by how clueless the mature nurse could be. "Unbelievable."

Miss Shizuka sheepishly smiled at the tsundere's remark. Her cheeks dusted with slight tinge of blush from embarrassment.

"Well, I'm sorry. It was nighttime yesterday and I wasn't paying attention very well. I was tired and sleepy back then, so..." She scratched the back of her head and laughed awkwardly.

"Seriously... Let's start again."

Sighing in resignation, I rephrased what I wanted to convey to Miss Shizuka. With a simple explanation, she immediately understood it.

And we began our discussion after that. Meanwhile, my phone still had a signal, so I sent a message to Miss Rika, a reply that she should wait for us.

***

In a certain city in the US, a woman with tanned skin wearing a tight leather jacket and long pants sat behind a sniper rifle, PSG-1, on a high roof. The magazine slot was empty, indicating it had been already fired, with fired shots laying everywhere.

Her purple hair hung loosely across her shoulders; she swept her fringe aside to get clear vision on the sight. Then, she pushed the safety off position to the firing mode without thinking.

The muzzle flashed brightly twice, echoing loudly through the otherwise silent street full of abandoned vehicles.

Down below on the pavement, a pair of undead slumped over backwards as two holes appeared between their lifeless eyes simultaneously. Their limbs twitched erratically for several seconds before falling limply onto the ground like ragdolls.

A police officer with short brown hair wearing a RPD vest that was about to be attacked by the zombie looked in her direction and waved his hand. He clutched his pistol tightly before storming inside the police office that seemed to be abandoned.

Above the entrance, the words 'Raccoon Police Station' were written.

"That's one ass saved." She muttered.

The woman then leaned closer and looked over her scope. There were a few people, seemingly police and secret services, inside the police station. She confirmed their positions carefully before pulling away from the scope.

"This is a bit boring."

At that moment, she pulled out her flip phone, which she had set to silent to avoid being discovered by any enemy forces within earshot. On its screen showed an unread message notification.

Checking it out, she read the name of the sender. "It's him."

[Dungeon] Chapter 57 – Strongest Force Enter!

Not only in Kuoh town, Konoha also experienced changes after Kakashi and his team returned from the dungeon.

"So you're saying this Dungeon Chat Room is connected to the people in another dimension?" Tsunade asked the silver haired shinobi standing across from her. "What about your strange power that defies logic? Are you sure those came from the same source?"

"Yes. The chat room allows us to contact another dimension directly through writings. And yes, we obtained them after arriving at the Tower of Resentment." Kakashi responded calmly without missing a beat. "I believe this place, whatever it truly is, holds immense potential for growth."

Tsunade frowned slightly; brows furrowing in contemplation at his words.

"Do you understand exactly what that implies?"

"I do." Kakashi nodded, knowing the danger of being connected to something unknown.

However...

"Fortunately, we can only meet inside the dungeon. Unfortunately, we can meet them in the waiting room."

A waiting room that could be accessed easily through a large, unguarded gate was dangerous. Not to mention, every gate was connected to the same place.

If a missing ninja or dangerous individuals made contact inside, there was no telling what kind of situation would occur.

Tsunade grunted at that. "For now, I need details of this matter. The monocle that you brought here interests me greatly."

"Right."

As requested, Kakashi explained how his team acquired said items along with the brief description of what the Tower of Resentment offered inside. Afterwards, they spent hours discussing plans moving forwards regarding this new phenomenon occurring in their village.

The strange magic that the people from the other dimension wield to the dungeon chat room.

Everything was documented carefully so as to avoid future problems arising due to ignorance or lack of knowledge regarding its nature and functions. Thus far, Kakashi learned little except that these mysterious occurrences stemmed from some sort of entity referred to as Dungeon Maker.

"By the way, Lady Tsunade. The cave we found before disappeared too. We also encountered people from Sunagakure yesterday."

After a bit more discussion and gathering necessary information, the Hokage leaned backwards with a heavy sigh.

"This is troublesome."

Troublesome, indeed.

Unknown entities were acting in her village's territory, technically. For now, she could accept the system Kakashi talked about, but she would definitely keep a close eye on the dungeon gate.

At that moment, a presence made itself known from behind her.

"Are you having a problem, Tsunade?"

Looking back, the Hokage saw a man with long white hair wearing red and green robes. She scowled when she saw that familiar smile plastered onto the masked man's face.

He was one of the three legendary Sannin from Konoha.

"Jiraiya."

"I've been looking into some strange activity lately," Jiraiya replied casually as he sat down nearby. A mischievous glint flashed across his features before returning normal once again. "You know I don't like meddling with other nations affairs unless absolutely needed, right?"

He chuckled, seemingly amused by his own joke.

"What do you want, then?" Tsunade shot an annoyed glare his way.

"That gate interests me. And the floating stuff that I couldn't touch yesterday... It came from that place, right?"

"Yeah."

The Toad Sage grinned. His expression was filled with amusement mixed with curiosity; like a child discovering something interesting for the first time ever since being born into the world.

There was another reason though why he showed up uninvited today—

He wanted to explore the dungeons. He craved adventure and excitement within his boring life.

Teaching Naruto was fun, but not challenging enough to quench the boredom building up inside him slowly. And the opportunity arose when he saw that mysterious gate floating midair.

So he waited until morning arrived before approaching Tsunade to get permission and explanation about what transpired here recently.

Meanwhile, Kakashi remained quiet throughout their exchange thus far. Only observing silently. However, after seeing Jiraiya's eagerness, the masked shinobi cleared his throat lightly.

"The dungeon isn't something that can be ventured alone."

"I agree, Jiraiya." Tsunade supported Kakashi. "It seems safe, but you cannot expect to fight against a skilled enemy on your own if something happens. We need more information first. This isn't your normal adventure and you need to prepare first."

"I see." Jiraiya crossed his arms. "Then, we should gather more data and share it among ourselves."

Tsunade nodded. "That's true, but I want to keep it low-key for now."

"Even more so of a reason." A grin crept its way across his lips. "Think of this as a reconnaissance mission. We need to send the best among the best! Don't worry too much. This old man still got it, and I've traveled all over the world anyway. If worse comes to worst, I could always flee."

"Reconnaissance..." Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously before eventually relenting with reluctance. "...fine."

To be honest, the reason she agreed wasn't because of Jiraiya's reasoning. Leaving the dungeon alone was dangerous. They didn't know who was staying inside right now.

It had to be controlled under their nose somehow.

"Create a team that will go with you. Make sure they are capable and can be trusted." Tsunade commanded. "As for Kakashi. I will give you a task to find more caves hidden around the area, like usual."

"Understood, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi acknowledged dutifully.

With everything sorted, the duo left the office shortly afterwards.

In the empty office, Tsunade looked back at the gate that was visible from her seat. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, thinking she might have to enter herself.

Meanwhile, in a hidden village far away from Konoha, in a place filled with sandstorms.

The Kazekage stood in front of the gate with his arms crossed. His gaze sharpened as he looked at his trusted friend, Kankurou and Temari, who stood next to him.

"Let's go."

The strongest force of Sunagakure disappeared inside the dungeon gate.

[Dungeon] Chapter 56 – The Devil King (Reupload)

I don't know why it got hidden. I reupload it.

***

"I got muted again..."

Issei's shoulders slumped weakly as he sighed.

"Pervert." Koneko muttered behind him.

Issei turned and saw the young devil eating behind his back, prompting him to blush slightly in embarrassment.

He tried to save himself by giving excuses, "Koneko-chan! No, it wasn't what you thought! I was trying to warn him and be friends with the new guy. Just like me, he was caught up with the dungeon stuff! The only thing that connects us is one, boobs!"

"Issei, that's only for you." Yuuto chimed in with a wry laugh. "By the way, who do you think the new guy is? Someone from our side, or Future Hokage?"

The Devils had exchanged many words with the people from the other side through the chat room, especially Issei, Rias, and Sagi from Sona's peerage.

Though, Rias and Saji only rarely participated. Most of the conversation was initiated by Issei who was released from his mute. He quickly bonded with someone named Future Hokage and talked with him.

And just now, a new guy named Steel Ball joined, and both Issei and Future Hokage thought of him as a comrade.

"I mean, his name is Steel Ball! He's a man for sure. Future Hokage must've thought he loved ass or thighs, that's why he mentioned sexy underwear!"

"Makes sense." Yuuto couldn't say anything and simply nodded.

He couldn't say anything to retort. Steel Ball sounded like a male. But how could Issei conclude that his preference was female ass, though?

How? Because Issei liked all kinds of boobs and ass? The perversion knew no limit.

But then, Yuuto also understood why Issei thought so. Using Ball as a part of his nickname sounded like a pervert. But who knew that such a thing was actually normal in another dimension?

"You were already muted for 2 times, Issei. You better be careful."

At that time, Rias entered the room while looking amused. She smiled and shook her head in exasperation at his silly antics. Then, she sat next to him casually with an air of authority surrounding her figure.

"P-President?!"

"I saw the chat room too, Issei. You shouldn't be a pervert there! How could you teach people from different worlds about dirty thoughts like that?" Rias scolded with slight anger evident in her tone.

"B-But I haven't done anything wrong!" Issei protested lamely.

"Issei, you're my pawn." She paused briefly before adding sternly, "A member of my own peerage."

He gulped audibly, clearly knowing what she implied by calling him as her pawn. There was no escaping now! It wouldn't take much longer before Rias scolds him for embarrassing their team.

And so, he resigned himself to his fate.

Rias crossed her arms underneath her ample bosoms and puffed out her chest proudly.

"As my pawn, you shall reflect upon yourself properly! What happened yesterday and today was completely unacceptable. Understand?"

"Yes..." He sighed deeply once again. His mood had soured considerably thanks to his careless actions.

"We're living in Kuoh Town together with the Gremory family name attached to us," she stated firmly, "We represent Gremory house here. You have to remember that. Do not disgrace our reputation further than necessary. Especially to residents of other dimensions."

He nodded solemnly.

This kind of conversation wasn't entirely unexpected either. If anything, this was nothing compared to her lecture earlier regarding his lack of focus during training sessions. After hearing those harsh words coming from someone dear like her, who wouldn't feel bad afterwards?

"I apologize..." He bowed slightly towards her direction out of respect and regret. Though deep down inside, Issei still felt dissatisfied with certain aspects regarding recent events involving him.

"Good."

Rias usually never scolded the members of her peerage this much. She preferred watching them grow rather than limiting them.

In the case of Issei Hyoudou, however, he seemed too fixated on pursuing carnal desires over learning proper etiquette or acquiring valuable knowledge.

Or maybe the difference was simply because he's a boy?

Nonetheless, there were limits even within limits, hence why she decided to intervene today despite having witnessed numerous incidents beforehand.

Not to mention, there was something else that made him stop his perverted behavior and scold him.

"President, your brother will arrive soon."

Akeno, who just entered the ORC room, told her about it. The announcement brought attention to everyone, who then stopped what they did.

"So it's time." Rias nodded. "We have to prepare then."

She stood up from her seat beside Issei and gestured for everyone to follow along as well.

Issei and Koneko promptly followed after her without hesitation, the former whispering to Yuuto.

"Hey, Kiba. President have a brother?"

"Yes. He is a highly respected Devil in the underworld. The current Lucifer, Maou Sirzech-sama." Kiba replied.

"The current Lucifer!? That's crazy." Issei commented, clearly surprised by such revelation.

Everyone gathered in the hall, waiting. Issei and the others were arranged neatly in line behind Rias. Akeno took the position next to Rias.

"Fufufu, no need to panic, Issei." Akeno said when she noticed that the brown haired boy was trembling. "Sirzechs-sama is very kind, so you can relax. Though, I think you are panicking for another reason."

"N-No, I am not panicking." Issei said, clearly nervous, "I want to ask for the President's hand in marriage, only that!"

Kiba's face twitched as he looked at Issei who said it with a very serious tone.

'That's what I call panicking.'

Koneko was indifferent, thinking Issei was simply joking. It was hard to think whether he was being serious or just spouting nonsense as usual, given his personality.

Meanwhile, Rias only gave him an amused look, scoffing lightly.

Shortly afterwards, a beautiful woman with gray hair wearing a maid outfit appeared from a magic circle. She greeted them courteously and respectfully with a refined gesture.

"Good evening, Miss Rias."

"Grayfia."

Her presence commanded respect among everyone present. Her aura alone spoke volume about her identity as someone extremely capable.

Issei's eyes wandered toward her voluptuous chest that almost spilled out of her skimpy maid outfit, drooling.

Rias noticed this and immediately turned to look at him sharply, glaring intensely for a few seconds straight until he eventually stopped gazing lewdly at her.

Skillfully ignoring the pervert, Grayfia stepped to the side and bowed. At that moment, the magic circle glowed brightly, and a man emerged.

His long red hair reminded everyone of their King, Rias Gremory. He looked handsome in a suit, his sharp face radiated charisma.

'Is this the Devil King?' Issei gulped unconsciously when he felt the heavy pressure of the man in front of him.

"Rias, how have you been?"

"Big brother." Rias greeted back. "I've been well, never felt better after my engagement was cancelled. How about you? What brought you here? Surely you aren't meeting me without any reason."

"Of course. Let's go to the clubroom to talk. We'll order pizza too." He replied, his sharp eyes landed on Issei. "Hello. I am Sirzechs Lucifer, nice to meet you. You must be Issei Hyoudou, yes?"

"Y-Yes!" Issei stuttered nervously.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine, Issei-kun. Thank you for taking care of my sister."

"N-No, the President has taken good care of me too. I owe her my life."

"Hehe. She picked a great pawn." He smirked. "Well, then, lead the way, Rias. I want to discuss something in private."

"Yes, I understand. Everyone, dismissed." Rias clapped her hand and ordered the others, leaving Akeno, Grayfia, herself and Sirzechs to move to the clubroom.

***

Once inside, and the pizza arrived, Sirzechs stated his goal of visiting his sister.

"I am interested in this dungeon. Can you show me where the entrance is?"

"Sure." She replied.

Then, they ate the pizza slowly as they discussed everything.

"Have you tried entering it, Rias?" He asked. "I mean the new one you reported."

"I did. We also met the supposed Creator inside, although he acted through a monster. He spoke weirdly, and I couldn't detect him anywhere near us." Rias recounted the story in detail to Sirzechs.

He nodded calmly. "I see... He calls himself the Dungeon Maker."

"Yes. After the last entrance appeared with an earthquake, every other entrance disappeared from existence. Although there were only two entrances at first." She continued recounting more facts related to her experience inside these mysterious structures called 'dungeons'.

They talked about things concerning the dungeon, including its purpose, objectives, layout, possible traps waiting ahead etcetera.

And after she finished telling everything, Sirzechs looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking up again.

"To think that the person who created it claims to be Dungeon Maker... interesting."

"The report had been sent to other Devil Kings. Did they receive them all?"

Grayfia answered her question calmly. "They are busy researching this phenomenon but I assure you that their findings will reach us soon enough. Miss Sona had already informed Madam Leviathan of her experience personally as well."

"A shame." Rias sighed softly, shaking her head. "Do you want to visit the dungeon right now, brother?"

Sirzechs chuckled playfully. "Yes. I would love to check it myself. If it's dangerous, then we should deal with it quickly."

"Then, let's go."

And they were off to enter the dungeon together.

[HOTD] Chapter 52 – Home Sweet Home

After saying goodbye to everyone, which surprised Takashi's group, we left the mansion with our humvee. Miss Shizuka drove us toward my house. Along the way, there were corpses of many zombies littering on the roads, mostly dealt with by Don Takagi's group.

Fortunately, there weren't that many intact cars along the road, so we could move smoothly.

"We're here," I announced from inside the passenger seat after arriving at the walled house compound.

"This is your house?" Miss Shizuka asked, impressed. She stopped the car just before the entrance, looking at the wall from behind the windscreen. "Wow, it looks expensive. It's a bit bigger than Rika's house."

"It's not that surprising. The Busujima family has always been well-off since long ago." Saya, sitting beside the nurse at the back, commented smugly. "You even live in this kind of place alone, no wonder you're so selfish and arrogant."

"I don't remember living alone here, genius girl." I smiled at the pinkette's remark sarcastically. "While I am selfish, I am not that arrogant. Am I?"

She just snorted and crossed her hands.

Miss Shizuka giggled while Saeko chuckled. The latter chimed in and joined me to tease Saya, "Yes, indeed. Brother isn't that arrogant, he knows his limit and never steps beyond that line."

The atmosphere became pleasant as laughter filled the car. Once we calmed down, I told the beautiful teacher to open the gate through the driver's window. The house's electricity still ran normally, thus making the motorized gates function properly.

Driving the car forward, we passed the gate and entered the yard, parking the vehicle near the entrance. I hopped off the Humvee with a backpack on my back, carrying both an M1A1 and Wildcat crossbow.

I checked something near the entrance and nodded in satisfaction.

'No one tried to enter.'

Before leaving the house back then, I prepared something near the door to check whether someone sneaked in during my absence.

Although there were high walls separating my house from the outside world, I still worried someone could climb it somehow.

I unlocked the door and let the others in, welcoming them to the living room.

"Saeko, can you show them their room? We will stay here for a few days to prepare. Meanwhile, I will check our supplies and stuff. Can I ask you guys to check around the house while I do my job?" I said to Saeko.

Saeko nodded and smiled warmly.

"As you wish, brother."

I turned to the other two girls.

"Make yourself comfortable first, ladies."

"Ohh~ This house feels really cozy and homey," Miss Shizuka cooed as she looked around curiously like a kid entering an amusement park for the first time. "That carpet? It's similar to the one Rika has! And that television is big!"

"Hmph! Mine's better," Saya boasted while looking around with a disdainful frown, "Busujima family's wealth is nothing compared to Takagi's influence."

I just chuckled seeing those two contrasting figures. Then, I went downstairs and walked to the storage room. The door was locked by a few heavy-duty padlocks, making it extremely hard to break in without the proper tools or enough strength.

I put down my weapons and bags, unlocked the locks, and opened the thick door made of alloy, revealing a very spacious basement room. The place was dark so I immediately pressed on the light switch at the side of the doorway.

Turning on, it lit up a room filled with various boxes, shelves, wooden crates, etc., each filled with goods ranging from foods, water bottles, ammunition, camping supplies, clothing and daily necessities.

There was no weapon here, those were put in a different storage elsewhere.

'It looks fine. Now then, let's check everything quickly.'

With that, I began checking everything inside the containers carefully, counting them thoroughly one by one.

'Dried beans. Check.'

'Rice sacks. Check.'

'Canned foods and snacks. Check.'

And so forth and so forth. A couple of hours later I finished inspecting the things stored here. Everything seemed undamaged and intact, thankfully.

"The medical kits for sickness and wounds are enough. I actually have three rolls of ropes and 5 sets of radio. Walkie talkie, check. Fishing gears and hunting gears. All done."

However, there were a few exceptions which caught my attention when I double-checked everything once again. Did I miss something or forget? It happens sometimes. Humans tend to forget things.

'Alright, let's stock more using my shops. Grenades, bullets, flashbangs... Let's use around 400 points to stack on weapons.'

That way, Saeko and the others wouldn't be suspicious when I suddenly pulled out something. I would use Miss Rika's name if they asked me where I got them.

Usually it wouldn't work. But for an airheaded nurse and two people who knew nothing about Miss Rika? I guessed they would believe me.

"2 Grenades for 100 points. 5 Flashbangs for 125 points. With this we have a total of 4 grenades and 5 flashbangs for emergencies. That left me with 2,685 points. Wow, it decreases so fast when I actually use them to buy something."

But I wouldn't regret this. I would give them a flashbang each and I would hold 2. As for grenades? It's too dangerous for them to use. Maybe I will have Saeko hold onto 2 grenades, that would be good enough.

"Now, the second shelter should be located near here. If I am not wrong, it's in Shintoko Third Elementary School."

The school was also described in manga.

Based on the wiki, it was where Takashi's mother worked. The manga also ended when Rei's mother joined Takashi's group and headed there, so I knew nothing much about what happened inside.

Not that I would know what happened anymore with Resident Evil mixed into the world.

"It should be around 10 kilometers or so. Hmm... The roads aren't exactly safe."

Not that it's a problem. My goal of visiting that place was to meet JSDF.

While I already decided to go overseas with ships, it would be nice if the JSDF helped me somehow. For example, providing us a method of transportation to the port, maybe a helicopter?

Asking for a fighter jet might be asking too much. Still, it would be wonderful to use one.

"It's also worth searching the military bases."

Speaking of base, I haven't seen Alice and the dog from the anime everywhere. Did they die? I honestly had no idea.

Anyway, the JSDF should be in elementary school right now.

"That would be the best option I think."

Unfortunately, as usual, when I faced a choice, the system immediately appeared before me.

[Make your choice!]

1. Go to the Shintoko Third Elementary School and contact the JSDF there. (Reward: 100 Shop Points.)

2. Visit the police station nearby instead and raid it, then drive straight to Tokonosu International Airport. (Reward: 300 Shop Points.)

3. Don't worry about JSDF. Go straight to the military base and meet JSDF there. (Reward: 500 Shop Points.)

Huh?

These choices...

I narrowed my eyes. Something felt strange about it.

Was there a military base near Tokonosu city?

There shouldn't be one around. Maybe they set up camp after the outbreak happened? Was I wrong in assuming the zombie threat wasn't that bad?

"Something isn't right," I muttered.

My eyes landed on the second option, specifically on the 'raid' word.

This weirdness...

At this point, my mind kept remembering what happened in that abandoned lab. Tyrant attacked us from nowhere and I just barely escaped alive.

The problem was Tyrant's attire.

'He wore a police outfit...'

Maybe... It was just my mind playing me, but... I had suspicion that something might be hidden in the police station that this fucking unreliable system gave me a reward higher than the safest choice.

"Could it be?"

Of course, there should be zombies, but what if Umbrella placed their lab below the police station like that mall? The system seemed to play with words and intent rather than spelling it clearly, making the whole ordeal annoying to deal with.

"The reward is also increased by 200 points."

I should be more cautious when the reward was given at that amount. 500 points and above was the same as the choice to save Takashi and his friend, which then led me to fight Tyrant.

"But I need those points."

I sighed.

Honestly, 500 shop points could be used to purchase many things. But I couldn't make a decision alone.

"Let's talk with the girls first."

With that decided, I went upstairs to inform everyone that we had two destinations this time. After gathering all members in the living room, I began explaining what I told myself earlier, complete with the dangers that may lurk.

[HOTD] Chapter 51 – Tagging Along

Sitting on a bed, I talked with both Saeko and Miss Shizuka about my plans and the news. They weren't exactly happy that I delayed our departure but they understood.

Especially Miss Shizuka after I explained that I received a message from Miss Rika that she was overseas.

"Take your time preparing everything. If Rika is overseas, then there should be no hurry." The nurse smiled at me, "I am just glad she's okay."

"Yes, I believe she's fine. Rest for tonight and we will resume our journey tomorrow." I replied, smiling faintly.

With that, Miss Shizuka returned to the tent to look at her patient for the last time.

As for Saeko...

"It seems things are going to get tougher. We must be cautious, brother." Saeko commented quietly, sitting closer to me. "That giant from before... I need to hone my swordsmanship further to defeat someone like him. I actually chipped my katana a little in the battle."

She unsheathed her beloved blade from its scabbard and showed me the blunt edge. There was a slight dent there. And then, she pointed at another nick on the other side.

"Can we repair it somehow?" I asked.

Saeko shrugged and shook her head, "Maybe it can be done if we find someone capable. I hope we can fix it sooner than later."

"Hmm..."

Sword was essential for Saeko, as she fought mainly using it. That's why we need to sharpen or buy a new one as soon as possible.

'There are still quite a few katanas, both wakizashi, tanto, and one odachi.'

When I looked at our house's katana collection, there were plenty of useful ones. Some of the katanas were used in ceremony and had dull edges, but we had quite a few real swords and two polearms, naginata and yari.

'I planned to stop by our house to get some katanas and the supplies I gathered before the apocalypse. I bought everything I needed: food, medicines, camping supplies, canned butane gas, and other stuff useful for the apocalypse already. From what I count, it would last us enough for a year, maybe less with 3 people.'

I could secure our means of transportation overseas while we were in Tokonosu City.

Airport? Who would fly the plane?

I knew how to operate a helicopter, but I couldn't hope there would be one there.

Military base? I had hopes in that place. However, if JSDF was still active, I might not be able to use their vehicle. Every vehicle was important in a zombie apocalypse.

'So the most realistic option for us is ships. Although a port wouldn't guarantee a free ship, it should be safer compared to other transportation places.'

We also still need supplies. Fortunately, we had enough. And I also bought fishing equipment for us. Fishing and hunting were basic skills necessary to survive in these kinds of worlds.

The rest? Guts, power, anything.

'Surviving alone feels hollow, that's why I wanted to have a goal. I wanted to give Saeko a goal so she won't turn into a mindless killer too, addicted to killing zombies.'

People couldn't just live by fighting zombies day in and day out.

"Now I am really troubled."

"Is it about Takagi-san?"

I smiled wryly.

Right, she too.

After I told her about my plan to leave, she bolted out and disappeared, ignoring me ever since. As far as I knew, she was in her room all day, alone. What should I do with her? Honestly I had no idea.

"Well, not really. It's true she's on my mind though." I admitted. "But not that much."

She pouted childishly at my words. Then, she hugged me from behind.

"Don't forget you're mine, brother."

"Now you're playing possessive? Interesting." I chuckled, teasing her.

However, Saeko remained still and continued whispering, "I can accept sharing, but I will never give you up." She paused briefly before continuing, "Don't leave me alone, big brother."

I looked up, our eyes met.

Her violet eyes reflected fear. She seemed genuinely frightened at the thought of losing me, afraid that one day I'd abandon her.

Therefore, I caressed her cheek gently.

"It will never happen."

Time flew as we spent hours talking. Just enjoying ourselves, forgetting reality for a moment, living peacefully like before the end of the world arrived.

***

Morning arrived rather fast and we got up early for our trip. At least for me and Miss Shizuka who woke up pretty early in the morning. As for Saeko, she slept late yesterday so she's still half asleep.

Anyway, as I expected, Saya hadn't contacted me since last night. I only found out her whereabouts from her mother when I took breakfast and left to prepare for our departure. It seemed like she stayed in her room since yesterday, brooding alone.

After hearing that, I just let out a bitter laugh and went outside.

From now on, it would be only the three of us going overseas to search for Miss Rika.

Or so I thought.

Because at the moment we stepped outside...

"You're finally here!" Saya stood in front of the gate of the mansion.

Behind her were three suitcases lined up neatly next to each other. Seeing our confused expression, she grinned proudly and flicked her bangs.

"Hmph! I can't leave a lot of you alone if you're going overseas. Do you even understand english?" She crossed both arms smugly, "Be grateful! I will be joining you."

"Saya..." Miss Shizuka spoke in disbelief, "...what's the meaning of this?"

The pinkette stared back at the older woman, her eyes showing firm resolve. "I am serious."

"But how about your parents?"

"It doesn't matter," she answered immediately without hesitation, "They already allowed me. I will go there to obtain intel for mom's information network and act as Daiki's guide."

Then, she turned to me with a confident grin. I could guess what she thought just from that gesture. Perhaps she didn't think I could get to the destination easily.

'I know how to speak English well, but maybe I shouldn't correct her.'

In the end, I only smiled and pointed at her suitcase.

"Useless baggage. You can join, but not those."

Saya opened her mouth, but after looking at her three large luggage and our backpacks, she closed it again and scratched her cheek awkwardly.

"W-Well, I suppose I should just bring this one then. There is a satellite telephone and radio communication device inside, so it's important!"

She grabbed the smaller suitcase amongst three and pushed the other two away.

"There, only one bag for me."

"Good enough," I nodded. "Let's go then."

[Dungeon] Chapter 55 – Managing Chat Isn’t Easy!

I have no excuses. My painful tooth doesn't allow me to think. My apologies, only one chapter of dungeon is finished.

***

The group advanced pretty smoothly.

Cain hinted to Azazel about the hidden room and treasure chest that they could find inside while trying to keep the governor away from noticing his identity as the Dungeon Maker.

So far, Azazel remained unaware thanks to his low suspicion.

"Dungeon coin, huh?" Azazel looked at the coin in his hand and mused. Then, he looked at his other hand, which held a flask with red liquid, "And this is HP potion, you said? This can heal wounds?"

"Yes."

They managed to get them from the monsters and opened a chest hidden under a dead tree, courtesy of Cain's hint. Nothing much, but enough to intrigue Azazel's interest. They picked everything available.

"I wonder..." Muttered the Governor as he examined both items closely. "Anyway, is there something else you can tell us about the dungeon?"

Having arrived near the second floor, Cain shook his head. He hid the grin creeping on his face, instead feigning ignorance and confusion. "Dungeons are mysterious, but they always follow rules. Once you learn the rules, beating them becomes easy."

Then, he lied further to confuse the Fallen Angel Governor and make the journey easier for them.

"Also, dungeons usually increase difficulty per floor. It gets harder, stronger, trickier. As for the hidden room..." He remembered having watched enough Isekai anime.

Most of them had the usual plot, with the characters discovering secret doors or chambers within dungeons that contained powerful artifacts or special rewards.

Thus, he bluffed. "...there's usually a trial in it. So always be careful."

"Interesting." Azazel grinned widely.

After walking for a while, they found the cave leading to the second floor.

Just like the Sunagakure team back then, two doors that led to the second floor and exit awaited them. Cain wanted to try the second floor, but he glanced at Asia before making a decision.

Noticing his gaze, Azazel also looked at the nun. She was silent since Cain forced her to kill the orc.

"...let's leave this dungeon."

"Eh?" Asia was startled when Azazel told them to stop.

"I agree. The difficulty rises every level, I'd rather leave. This girl is exhausted, both physically and mentally." Cain said with a calm tone of voice.

Azazel blinked. "Really? Are you sure about that?"

"She can't even lift her hand anymore. If anything, she's only useless baggage right now. I don't want to die in a dungeon and lose my equipment."

"I see." The fallen angel nodded in agreement. "Let's come again with a proper party next time. Maybe with stronger members. Anyway, you said a dungeon exists in your home place as well?" He asked, prompting Cain to recall his lie.

"Yes. Dungeons are rare, but adventurers visit them often. Many are trapped in an eternal maze, but that depends on their skill and luck. It's a high risk high reward place that can even turn a beggar into a king if they are lucky."

What was important for his dungeon right now?

The answer was promotion!

Cain had to bring more people here.

From various different places.

Especially from the Devil and fallen angels faction. So far, only the Highschool DxD cast had visited his dungeon often because they knew about dungeons from modern knowledge.

From what Cain knew about Azazel, he was a researcher of sorts.

Perfect person to invite more visitors for his dungeon because he was curious. The advantage of the dungeons had also been listed, making the fallen angel governor interested in it.

What was left was to spread the story in the Dungeon Chat Room.

'I can create another account using my avatar's name too, which would be useful. Hehehe, I will just have to think of something.' He mused, forming a devious plan inside his mind.

"Alright. No need to push ourselves. Let's follow your suggestion and leave." Azazel replied, smiling warmly at the white-haired teen. "Still, good job today. Thanks for your cooperation. We'll probably meet again sooner or later."

After saying thus, the three exited the elemental tower, entering the hub once again.

"Well, farewell then." With a friendly smile, Cain left them and went to the throne room. Of course, he pretended to leave from the exit of the Hub.

Once returned to his original form, he sat on the throne and talked to the assistant.

"How much coins do I get since I use my avatar?"

A window popped in front of him, showing the answer.

[The dungeons have collected a total of 22,520 points. Trauma is the emotion that generates the highest profit, followed by curiosity. The lowest income came from joy. You have a total of 23,570 points.]

"Oh?! That was higher than I expected." Cain was pleased by the results.

He had just obtained more than twenty thousand coins thanks to Asia's trauma.

Cain had long since changed his mind about making his dungeon free of trauma. His goal was now to create a fun dungeon, and some serious dungeon that could pump the challengers' heart and adrenaline. He would separate them based on the theme.

That was what he wanted. Something fun yet exciting. For that, creating some emotional scenes was unavoidable. Even so, his dungeon remained light-hearted and mostly focused on fun stuff.

Something he always wanted ever since playing the game.

"Anything going on with the chat room?"

Instead of popping a window, the assistant answered vocally.

[The chat room has become active thanks to Harem King, previously known as Boobs Boobs. The Harem King user and Future Hokage user had been chatting actively. Other users joined but not many participated actively.]

"Hmmm. It's a nice start. Any new members?"

Like Itachi or Kisame. Cain expected them to appear sometime. While it might look bad if they met Harem King (Hyoudou Issei), for obvious reasons, he was interested in having Akatsuki members participate in chat rooms.

Even if Issei started trolling and messing around, the ninja might not react because of their seriousness. After all, they were professional soldiers living in the world of constant wars.

And besides, they didn't seem to have much entertainment there.

"Open the chat room and create a new account for my avatar. For the name, let's see... Make it Steel Ball."

[... Affirmative.]

Cain felt like the assistant didn't quite agree with his chosen name, but he ignored it. The chat window appeared in front of him with a new username written below.

Steel Ball : Heyo, anyone there?

Harem King: Oho? Who are you?

Steel Ball: Hello! I'm new. Heard about this Dungeon Chatroom and decided to join. Nice to meet you.

Future Hokage: Cool, new guy!

Harem King: Welcome then~ Where do you live? My world or ninja world?

Steel Ball: Ninja world? What does that mean?

Harem King: Ah! Sorry, sorry. We're kinda living in a different universe, you see. So we gotta be sure where you live!

Steel Ball: Wow! Different universe! That's awesome!

Future Hokage: It is, believe it! Wait until you see the ladies from the other world. Their underwear are really sexy!

"Oh..."

Cain stopped when he read that.

'Future Hokage is Naruto, right? Was he influenced by Issei's pervertedness? I think no. He has been around Jiraiya for at least 2 years now, and even helped with his porn novel. Which means Naruto is naturally like this.'

But he didn't like it.

His Dungeon Chat Room was for exchanging information.

When he scrolled up, he saw some disturbing messages from both of them, mainly Issei, and other members hadn't shown themselves since an hour ago.

"Mute Future Hokage and Harem King for a day. Reason: inappropriate talking."

[Affirmative.]

Following that, two messages appeared in the chat room.

[Harem King has been muted for 24 hours. Reason: Inappropriate chatting.]

[Future Hokage has been muted for 24 hours. Reason: Inappropriate chatting.]

"Great." Cain nodded in satisfaction and closed the window. "I will make an announcement later. For now..."

He looked around at his room.

Barren and without anything. He could have fun renovating his dungeon, but sleeping in a place like this was...

Boring, at best.

His creativity would plummet after several days without entertainment and break time.

Hence...

"It's time to renovate my room."

All this time, he invested his Coins to renovate his dungeon. Earlier, he had a direct influence of gaining the points by pushing Asia to kill the Orc using his avatar.

Because of that, he decided to spend some for himself. He could earn more later. Right now, he wanted some rest and comfort.

"I want to add a television, fridge, bed, sofa... oh, air conditioner and computer too. Oh! Playstation! And then some books. I should be able to afford some novels, right?"

Entertainment was pretty expensive in his shop, so he had to spend wisely. However, he wanted to splurge sometimes, and now was the right moment.

It's time for himself, not his dungeon's sake!

[HOTD] Chapter 50 – Inviting Saya

I am still not feeling well. The dentist only make the pain worse, so I will upload 3 chapter for [Multiverse Dungeon System] tomorrow.

I hope for your understanding :)

***

"What else is this other than perverted? You called me one, but aren't you the actual pervert? To think you wear no underwear."

"T-That's- Ahn!♥"

Before she could even defend herself, I already bit her nape and trailed my tongue across the smooth skin of her neck down toward the valley of her tits.

I fondled both, rubbing the pinkish tip gently. They felt so soft on my rough palms, and they twitched every time my fingers rubbed the areolas.

"S-Stop! If Mama finds out about t-this, ohhh,♥ wait— No, we shouldn't do this now..." She bit her lips, desperately trying to withstand the stimulation.

"No way." I replied stubbornly and kissed her to shut her up.

Our tongue danced inside our joined mouths, sending an electrifying jolt throughout our bodies.

"Hhn!! Mnghh~ ♥"

I pulled away and licked the saliva trickling down from her mouth.

"I won't be patient today. We're doing it hard."

Then, I removed my belt and pulled down my pants. I stroked my cock twice, slapping her wet slit with the head in the process.

The pinkette groaned lightly in response, but I wasn't satisfied yet. With one hand on my dick, I inserted it slowly into her hole, deep inside her womb.

"Aaaahhhh! ♪"

Thick rod parted her lips wide open and filled the empty space. Saya arched her back, eyes closed tightly. Pleasure overwhelmed her.

I thrust my hips forward until my balls touched her flesh.

"Calm down. Relax."

With one command, I thrust into her relentlessly, creating a loud squelching noise as I slammed my hips forward and backward. The wet vagina swallowed my shaft whole without any resistance.

"Aahn! ♥ Wait!! Aaahhh! ♪ Not there~ Mmn!!"

"Don't pretend. You love this. Here, take more." I smirked, holding onto her thighs before pinning them upwards, giving me access to slam in faster and deeper. Her legs locked themselves around my torso naturally. Her stomach bulged as the thick meaty object filled her inside.

"Nooo! Oh, shit, fuck~ Oh god! Stop it, idiot~ ♥ It feels too good~!"

Each push caused her huge rack to bounce up and down, following my rhythm. Her long silky hair flew left and right according to my movement. Her eyes rolled in pleasure and her tongue hung out. Drool flowed freely from the corner of her lips, dripping to her chin.

"Shit, it feels great." I increased my tempo. Wet sound of sex echoed throughout the library hall as my cock stirred up the juices within. Lewd smell spread around.

"Hnn ♥! Cumming!!"

Saya tensed up and trembled in blissful sensation. The tightness around my crotch increased and my shaft pulsed.

Feeling close to reaching orgasm, I picked up her light body from the table and placed her onto the sofa, lifting her legs onto my shoulders and pushing forward into the deepest part of her pussy.

"Aaaahhh~ Noo, stop~ I already came, idiot!"

"You're too sensitive, Saya." I teased.

"Goddammit— Fuck! Harder~ Faster~ Right there! ♥"

Saya moaned like a bitch in heat, unable to speak properly between her breathless panting.

Slap slap slap!

"Ngghh~ More~ More, please~"

"Alright."

After that, she lost control of herself completely, crying and begging for me to fuck her faster. She cummed several times, squirting fluids all over.

Lewd scent emanated from her cunt. It mixed with saliva dripping from her mouth and sweat pouring down her skin.

"Here it comes." I warned before shooting hot milky fluid straight into her womb. Thick semen splashed outwards.

"Ohh, yesss~~ ♥ Give me all of your filthy sperm! Uuhh~ ♥"

Cum continued oozing from her slit and dripped to the leather seat below, forming a small puddle on the surface. White sticky liquid stuck everywhere inside of her holes, including her ass and tummy.

Strings connected our bodies as I pulled out and had her lick it clean. She happily obliged, sucking it greedily, swallowing the leftovers.

Then, we stayed still side by side, she kept licking my cock passionately from the floor, letting me enjoy its wonderful feeling while waiting for me to get hard again.

'Sex in a library sounds better than it seemed,' I thought.

"You idiot, did you enjoy yourself?" She growled angrily, cheeks flushed deep crimson. She glared daggers at me but still held my erect penis firmly.

"I did."

"Well, I didn't," she grumbled, licking the tip of my penis, "So, tell me why you suddenly became aggressive after checking that atlas book. I'll make you pay afterward."

"Why?" I chuckled, patting her head, "Of course it's because of this."

Slap!

She flinched when my cock slapped her pretty face.

"Mmnph. S-Stupid." Her nose smelled the musky odor coming from my shaft, but instead of complaining, she liked it and began sniffing deeply.

Tsundere was unexpectedly cute. I found myself patting her as she gave me a sloppy blowjob.

"So, what happened?" She asked innocently with a mouth full of cock.

"Let's just say, there are worse monsters other than zombies coming."

"I see." She gulped the cock inside her mouth and sucked harder. "Go on. You haven't finished yet."

"...It might be similar to that Tyrant in that underground lab. Only much more dangerous."

"That thing? But you killed it easily before."

"Yes," I answered while caressing her hair lovingly. "I admit that, but there are more types than that. Some might even be deadlier than that monster."

"Mmmmnh... Well, explain everything to me." She stopped sucking my cock and smirked, "Or I will keep you on edge until I'm satisfied."

Hearing that, I smiled wryly and explained to her everything I learned from the underground lab and my worries. Of course, I only told her part of my meta knowledge by calling it a possibility.

And then...

"That's why I will leave tomorrow."

"What?!"

A surprised voice escaped her mouth. She looked at me, eyes widened in shock, and repeated her question.

"You want to leave this place?! For real? Where will you go!? When will you return? How come you don't discuss it with me!?"

She shot up immediately and stood up, towering over me who sat on the sofa. Her face was flushed bright red from anger.

I remained quiet and waited until she finished ranting.

"And most importantly, what will happen to us? Are you planning to leave me here!? Am I nothing more than a booty call to you?"

The sight surprised me. I thought for sure she wanted to stay with her family and think nothing of me except for a one night stand partner.

However, I was wrong. She looked hurt that I didn't tell her about my plan and planned to leave without her.

I rose from the couch and hugged her slender body, burying my face in between her boobs.

"The idea didn't cross my mind at all, Saya."

"H-Hey! Where are you touching, pervert?"

My reply made her calm down a bit though. She pouted cutely before continuing.

"I don't want to hear such a cliche sorry." She crossed her arms and snorted. "Tell me the truth now, stupid!"

Her answer amused me, causing a slight chuckle coming out from my lips. I sighed lightly before speaking again.

"Well, I guess that's fine," I nodded my head, "I intend on leaving this place permanently and find some really safe places, for me and my sister. I have some plan, but I have to scrap it after the communication returned today and received that message, so..."

"You're going overseas?" She asked, remembering the map I opened earlier.

"Yeah."

Saya fell silent, thinking hard. She bit her lower lip nervously as her eyebrows furrowed.

I didn't force her, deciding to give her time to make a decision. She fixed her clothes, huffed, and left with a stomp. She didn't even bother finishing what she started and left me hanging there, slamming the door behind her.

Bam!

[HOTD] Chapter 49 – Farewell Bond

With a slight nod, the former broker left us in the library. Saya then shot me a glare as she stood up.

"What are you doing here!?" She pointed at me, then suddenly blushed and covered her chest with her arms, "D-Don't tell me, y-you want to..."

I grinned. I never thought that I would meet Saya here, and she had a misunderstanding with me entering this room.

"What if I said I am?"

Approaching her, I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist and pulled her close.

Saya blushed heavily upon feeling our body pressing close to each other. Her petite hands pushed me, trying to separate us, albeit weakly.

"T-this is improper! You dare try something like this in my own house? I will call security and throw you out!"

"Like a thief?" I asked teasingly. "Did you forget that your mom was the one showing me this place?"

"What?" She looked at me disbelievingly. Her expression changed from anger to confusion and embarrassment. "W-what do you mean?"

Without releasing her, I leaned closer and whispered.

"What do you think I meant?"

Teasing a genius like her was fun. The reaction I got was just hilarious.

"You—"

She blushed beet red.

"—lecher!!"

Saya pushed me away and moved backward hastily.

"Lewd pervert!!"

Her hands cupped her boobs protectively, glancing everywhere around except at me.

"Heh, if you want to escape, there are many rooms for you to hide. I can play hide-and-seek with you if you want." I smirked at her, "Also, did you forget that you actually were the one who came into my room three days ago?"

"Nooo~ I won't ever do that again!" She retorted childishly.

Seeing her so cute, I couldn't hold my laughter. She was amusing in many ways.

Pushing her more would do harm than fun, so I stopped.

"Pfft. Anyway, relax, I am actually searching for a world map book. Do you know where it is?"

However, she didn't seem to believe me. She eyed me with suspicion, so I had to clarify further.

"Your mother said there should be one in here."

"World map book? Why are you even searching for something like that?" She narrowed her eyes on me. She raised one eyebrow, looking like a cat, before pointing at a section where books piled up neatly on a wooden shelf. "You'll find it there."

I released her and searched through the books. Luckily, they were sorted well. I found two atlas books in just under three minutes.

The problem now was whether these atlas books had grids of latitude and longitude numbers.

'Oh, they have it. Nice.' I mused.

Without google maps, as the phones we used were flip phones with no internet connection, this was the only method to search the place indicated in the text. I flipped the book while looking at the coordinates written on my phone.

And the result...

I widened my eyes.

"This place..."

"...it's Chicago." Saya said. Her expression mirrored mine, "It's in the USA."

I looked at Saya, shocked that she stood next to me all this time and watched me checking the atlas. More importantly...

'Did you read my message, genius miss?' I stared at her blankly.

Chicago, eh?

Why did Miss Rika there? And why did she ask me to find her?

Many questions passed my mind, but then I remembered something. One that I almost forgot because I played this game a long time ago.

In Resident Evil's lore, a certain fictional city was named as one of the outbreak sites. And this was the same city that Leon S Kennedy was assigned at the start of Resident Evil 2.

Flipping the world map, I traced my finger to the area around Chicago and found it.

"Raccoon City."

Oh well, fuck.

'They exist here.'

Sighing at my fate, I pinched the bridge of my nose and tried to calm myself. I tried to delude myself that no zombies other than normal ones existed in this world.

But that was stupid. I just ran away from the truth.

The crawling zombie, dog zombies, and Tyrant. I already guessed more would present, but not in this manner.

'Plaga and that scary stuff... Should I fight Las Plagas Parasites? Also, Umbrella Corporation might be involved deeper than I thought.'

This new discovery was really stressing me.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Saya called out to me from behind, her voice laced with worries.

My expression must be really bad right now.

And to top it off.

[Make your choice!]

1. Answer, 'Yeah, I am fine.' (Reward: 10 Shop Points)

2. Turn around and pull her into a hug. (Reward: 50 Shop Points)

3. Say nothing and kiss her. You're about to go anyway, go all out! (Reward: 100 Shop Points)

Without saying a word, I pulled Saya and kissed her. Her eyes widened, but she accepted it very quickly. My tongue guided hers and twirled inside her mouth passionately. She wrapped her arms around my neck and closed her eyes tightly.

"Mmmh... Mmmhh♥"

[Ding! You have received 100 Shop Points!]

Saliva exchanged between us and my left hand squeezed her ass.

"Daiki~ Hnn...♪" She moaned sensually in between kisses, "...wait... I-I..."

However, I ignored her and lifted her small body before carrying her to a desk near us. Removing my lips from hers, I started stripping her upper clothing, exposing her budding breast to cold air.

The pink nipples erected due to temperature difference. My eyes feasted on the view of Saya's pale body.

"Wait! Daikiii—"

Saya pleaded cutely, but her lower body betrayed her heart.

Even when she said no, she actually wanted it. She was always there for the last 2 days, trying to eavesdrop on our room when I was with either Saeko or Miss Shizuka. I always knew about it but kept silent.

And now, I didn't feel like holding back. Stress and everything combined made me seek warmth, pleasure, and release. All thoughts about Raccoon City and possible threats were thrown aside as my lust took control over my brain.

I couldn't resist it any longer. My eyes scanned Saya's flushed face and exposed large boobs. Her skirt was flipped upward, revealing her wet, dripping pussy. She didn't wear any underwear underneath it, making my job easier.

I didn't realize it earlier, but she also wore no bra under her tank top.

"Pervert." I whispered seductively into her ear before biting her soft earlobe teasingly.

[HOTD] Chapter 48 – Communication Returned

Yuriko looked over the documents brought back from the underground lab in her office. She had tasked her subordinate to sort and select some information deemed useful among piles of data that was obtained. 

However, almost half a day had passed and she only managed to gather a little information regarding this zombie outbreak.

That changed yesterday. She gained a clue.

"Umbrella Corporation... Isn't this a pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation?"

As a former Wall Street's stockbroker, she knew about the existence of this company. Its headquarters was situated in the United States of America.

She tapped her index finger on the table surface, contemplating quietly.

'Judging from the document, they experiment on something. And there is a trace of the zombies, as well as that strange giant Daiki killed in that lab. So they're connected somehow.'

It seemed Umbrella played a part in this disaster, especially considering that this virus had affected most parts of the world now. Even Tokyo was not spared.

Seeing they had a background in biotechnology, creating a virus that could turn humans into zombies might not be impossible.

"Have you discovered something, Yuriko?"

Souichiro entered the room and closed the door behind him. He was wiping his sweat using a towel. He had just finished training.

"We have a clue about the source of this zombie plague. The problem is, the lead is located overseas." She looked at him.

"I see." He nodded, "And what about the communication?"

"Inoperable for now. Maybe something happened to the satellites or communication tower."

Then, Yuriko paused.

"But we have sent a team to the nearby communication center. We might be able to fix it soon."

"That would be great."

***

Two days since I announced my leave...

"Brother, how do you feel? Did you fully recover?"

I was lying on top of a grassy ground in front of the mansion, looking at the sky when Saeko appeared beside me. She looked at me worriedly.

I flashed a smile at her, "I am fine."

That's right. The injury on my chest almost completely healed. It was sore for some reason, probably because it had regenerated unnaturally, but it didn't bother me that much anymore.

Today was a peaceful day. Some men under Don Takagi explored outside the mansion, clearing the zombies near this place. Although not all were cleared yet, they certainly diminished significantly.

Not only that, they also began their expedition to the nearest tower relay station. The reason for this was simple: to restore communication with the outside world.

And that also signaled my time to leave.

"Is Miss Shizuka ready to leave?" I asked her.

Saeko nodded, "Yes. She's packed her bag already. As for me, I have also prepared for the journey. Will we leave soon?"

"Yeah," I said, "There is a place I wanted to stop by first. Is Don Takagi inside the mansion?"

Saeko thought for a moment before nodding, "I believe I saw him a few moments ago. He's with Mrs. Yuriko inside the guest building. What are you going to talk to him about, brother?"

"Nothing much. Can you tell Miss Shizuka to be ready to leave this afternoon?" I asked.

"Okay."

The sky today was cloudy, making the heat bearable. Feeling nice thanks to that, I went inside the mansion to find Don Takagi. And I met him along the way.

We both stopped in front of each other, exchanging polite greetings.

"You're leaving today?" He asked.

"Yes."

"I see." He nodded before opening his mouth once again, "You can come here if things get bad outside."

I smiled wryly. The man in front of me was generous. But sadly, I already planned on staying outside for the near future. He also didn't talk much and our conversation ended pretty fast.

Anyway, after my business with the Takagi couple was done, we talked a few little things like whether I could come back later or stuff like that. Then, I said my goodbye politely, saying how I enjoyed staying in this mansion.

At that moment, Yuriko appeared from within a room.

"My, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, thank you for treating me kindly during these days."

Yuriko shook her head with a gentle smile, "Please, don't mind it. I should be the one thanking you for helping my daughter escape death's embrace. Not to mention, you brought back those useful documents. The only thing we can give you back is this."

Saying so, she gave me a pair of walkie talkie and a flip phone. I looked at her confusedly, prompting her to continue explaining.

"Check the phone."

I looked at the phone and my eyes widened. There were signals!

Surprised, I looked at her again with a disbelieving expression. This mansion wasn't exactly that tall, but it should be taller than usual houses.

"Our group investigated the nearby relay station and apparently succeeded. With the help of the engineers, they fixed the communication devices for Tokonosu City."

I quickly opened my phone and saw that I also got a signal. Weak, but I could receive messages.

'Did she call my father to—'

Then, my phone rang, showing a number I was familiar with. A single message entered my phone as soon as I got the signal. From the date of its arrival, it was sent yesterday.

The sender was, unsurprisingly...

'Miss Rika?'

The message was simple and short.

Miss Rika: Find me 41.8781° N, 87.6298° W

A string of numbers and alphabet followed after that. Strangely, the message was written in English, not japanese.

As gun lovers, I also loved something related to military stuff. Not only that, I also knew how to read maps. That's why, I quickly recognized this message as a coordinate of a place.

The problem was, I wasn't good enough to recognize the coordinate immediately. But thankfully, someone might know.

"Mrs Takagi." I looked at the beautiful woman, "Can you look at this coordinate and tell me where it is?"

"Coordinate? I am not a soldier though..."

Yuriko read the text anyway. After a while, she shook her head and shrugged.

"I'm sorry, I don't really know where it is. It seems like somewhere overseas though, judging by the positive north latitude degree." She said, "Hmm... There should be a map somewhere in the library. Follow me."

"Thank you."

With Yuriko guiding me, I arrived at a big library on the second floor of this large mansion. Inside, I noticed the pink-haired girl reading a manga while sitting on a sofa. Realizing my presence, she raised her eyebrows.

"I didn't expect you to enter this room. Don't tell me you actually study hard, stupid."

"Saya, language!" Yuriko frowned slightly.

"M-Mama?! When did you..."

"Just now," she said, before shifting her attention to me, "Anyway, Daiki. It should be somewhere around the corner, you can ask Saya about it. In that case, I have things I have to attend to. Take care."

"I will. Thank you again, Mrs Takagi."

[HOTD] Chapter 47 – Preparation to Leave

I have terrible toothache today. I might not be able to upload anything tomorrow until I can see doctor on monday.

I promise I will upload double when I return. Have a nice day everyone.

***

 "So we're leaving?"

After returning to my room and taking another shower, I told my sister and Miss Shizuka about my plan. All speakers, ropes, and fireworks we secured were in the humvee, so we could leave anytime we wanted.

"But Daiki, I still have to take care of some patients." The nurse put her hand on her cheek, looking troubled at me.

"My injuries are not fully recovered yet, and I planned on fully recovering before we leave. Maybe in a day or two." I said, "And I have told Don Takagi about it."

"Really?" My sister looked surprised to hear that, "Does he accept you leaving this mansion?"

I smiled at her, "He's a smart man. He knew I would leave even before I decided to tell him."

Miss Shizuka nodded after hearing that. "But are you sure we're going to leave?"

"More reason for that to happen. The monster that I fought with Saeko in that mall... I don't think this group will be able to hold it back if he shows up here. So I plan to move to a better location, maybe with a military group. Besides, we need to find someone, right?"

I looked at Miss Shizuka as I finished. Her eyes widened in realization and she nodded, knowing who I talked about.

"...Alright." She said.

Then, I looked at Saeko, who stayed silent until now, and asked, "Do you want to stay here instead?"

She immediately shook her head. "Of course not. I will follow my brother anywhere."

I was happy hearing her say that.

Anyway, although my decision seemed impulsive and risky, I had calculated everything carefully. Recuperating from our wounds was the best thing we could do right now. I wanted to return to the normal level I had before challenging the Tyrant in the mall.

Swords weren't that much of use against Tyrant. Crossbow? Useless.

From what I knew about Tyrant, they could flip a car easily with one hand. The one we fought before must be a prototype, seeing that there were no other experimental subjects we found in that underground lab.

'The documents we secured were also not important. They had emptied everything before running away from Japan, leaving Japan to suffer the fate of the zombies. That or join the main group.'

"I wonder if Wesker exists here..."

"What did you say, brother?" Saeko tilted her head.

"It's nothing," I said, smiling at her, "Just rest for now. I will visit the infirmary tent to check on Kohta."

"Ah, I will tag along. I need to check on patients too." Miss Shizuka chimed in.

She rose from the bed quickly, causing her massive breasts to bounce. Then, she picked the clothes she threw on the floor last night, dressing in front of me without modesty. Seeing this, Saeko also got dressed.

'It's interesting seeing how they have no more qualms being seen naked by me.'

Anyway, after getting dressed, we headed towards the infirmary. However, after arriving, I found Takashi and the others were currently visiting Kohta. They gathered outside the tent, circling around the injured fatty.

Seemingly hearing our footsteps, they turned around. Saya's face reddened upon seeing me, averting her head with a huff.

Takashi walked towards me first, and said, "Hey Daiki. How are you holding up?"

"Pretty well," I said, looking at everyone present and stopping at Kohta, "How do you feel, Kohta?"

"Not very bad, actually. Thank you for saving me the other day. You really saved me, Senior Daiki. But... I-I destroyed your rifle. I am sorry." He bowed deeply at me.

"It's fine." I said, waving my hand.

Then, I looked at Takashi, Rei, and Saya.

"Can you give me time to talk with Kohta alone?"

They looked at me hesitatingly, but Saya immediately dragged Rei away and said, "Hmpf! Do as you please, stupid! Come, you need to eat breakfast, Rei!"

Rei turned to look at me and made a slight bow, before letting the pink-haired girl drag her away.

As for Takashi, he scratched his cheek with a wry smile.

"I am sorry about them even though you saved us. Thank you for saving us, Daiki-senpai."

He gave me a proper 90 degree bow and left afterward.

I smiled looking at his figure until he disappeared from my sight, then I gestured for Kohta to follow me behind the tent. His body was full of bandages, but walking wasn't difficult for him anymore.

We stood facing each other in privacy, and I asked, "How do you feel? You saw hell yesterday. Are you holding up fine?"

He took a deep breath, recalling what he saw yesterday, before answering, "Yes, I am fine. Though I am still sad that I destroyed your gun, and I felt sorry for losing most of our ammo supply."

"Hmm..." I nodded, thinking about how I should deliver my intention. Well, I just decided to be blunt. "Well, the reason why I want to talk with you in private is this. I am planning to leave this place soon."

I watched his reaction after saying that. Although surprised, he wasn't particularly upset.

Then, I proceeded to tell him about my little plan, what I would do next, and how I would search for survivors in safer places such as evacuation points or police stations.

About a few minutes later...

"...I understand. Honestly, I want to join you, but I don't think I am ready. At least, let me learn something useful from this mansion." He said, seemingly disappointed at his inability to go with me. "Senior Daiki, let me thank you once again for saving me. If we meet again someday, perhaps in another place, please guide me again."

So he refused. I could see a spark of resolution in his eyes. Perhaps, he also reflected on his weakness and decided to change stay.

I nodded in acknowledgement, "Well, do your best then."

With that, we returned to the infirmary tent, where Kohta would lay down on the bed.

As for me, I began my preparation in my room.

"Time to shop for some bullets."

My first objective was to replenish some ammunition stock. And this was what I purchased from the system store:

100x 7.76mm ammos for 45 points.

2x Magazines for M1A1 for 40 points.

2x Hand Grenades for 100 points.

That was all I needed. After that, I reloaded the empty magazines with ammos, taking a long break in between. I also inspected my equipment, checking whether there were cracks on my trusty katana or if my rifle had problems somewhere.

Luckily, there was none.

"This world is somewhat weird." I murmured after double-checking my items.

After everything was ready, I stored them in our humvee and relaxed.

All preparations were done. There was no other choice for me than waiting until I fully recovered.

'Today seems like a quiet day...'

[HOTD] Chapter 46 – Important Decision

They said that arousal was similar to drunkenness. It changed one's behavior from the normal one. When one snapped out of it... they would feel regret, shame, or even fear for what they did in the past.

I was woken up by a scream beside me. Raising my body, I saw Saya covered her body with a blanket she snatched from Miss Shizuka and Saeko, who somehow moved to my side.

"That's so loud, Saya. The sky is still dark, you need to lower your voice." Miss Shizuka rubbed her temple.

"Ah, I am sorry, I was surprised." She lowered her head and said, "But, why did I—"

When she noticed the trace on her body and my sleeping position, she seemed to remember what happened last night. Her cheeks blushing crimson, she moved backward away from us, picking up her soaked panties and dress from the floor.

"W-What did I?! Stupid! Don't talk to me anymore!"

With that, she quickly wore her clothes and stormed out of the room.

Seeing her reaction, I couldn't help but chuckle. Then, I checked the time and saw that it was 4 AM already.

'If I sleep anymore, I might oversleep.'

With that, I decided to wake up early today and take a shower. I wondered when the Japanese side would launch the nuclear missile that would result in an EMP blast.

Based on my knowledge, that should've happened yesterday. But nothing has happened until now.

Was it postponed? Or canceled?

'Unlike in the original HOTD, Umbrella Corp exists here. Maybe they do something that affects this timeline.'

Although I suspected my existence might impact this event, I didn't do something that warrant disturbing the EMP blast event. I kept swinging my sword in the dojo, holding the pain I felt near my chest.

My injuries seemed to still linger, albeit it was already better than before.

'My recovery speed has increased. I have higher strength and stamina than before.'

[Name: Busujima Daiki

Strength: 27 | Agility: 27 | Stamina: 28 | Dexterity: 25

Skills: Busujima Swordsmanship (Intermediate), Marksmanship (Intermediate)

Shop Points: 2995 P]

Compared to when I first transmigrated, it was quite an improvement. However, it wouldn't guarantee my survival rate if I faced hordes of zombies or even two Tyrants.

I also understood how the Unreliable Choice System worked. Every choice had pros and cons. The higher the reward, the cons would also be bigger. Not to mention that the choices might be different according to situations.

Also, the choice would always appear in a critical moment where I had to make a decision.

"It's time to leave this place."

After fighting Tyrant, I realized I wanted to create or join a stronger group. One specialized in surviving in these kinds of worlds. Like the Resident Evil Main Characters such as Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, or Ada Wong.

Even if I couldn't find any of them, it should be a group capable of fending off Tyrant and zombies. And that would not include Takagi's group because the situation at the mansion was unstable and Takagi didn't have the capability of managing many people.

Which meant someone like a police force or self-defense army groups.

"I need to find Miss Rika."

Fortunately, the EMP blast never happened here. I could take the humvee with Miss Shizuka and Saeko to find her. I roughly knew where Miss Rika was, so we might have found her easier.

The problem was, should I take Kohta with me or not? He would be a useful member, but his ability and talent needed polishing. Not only that, he was gravely injured right now.

'Don Takagi will take care of him for now. As for Saya... I doubt she will go with me. Well, I will tell Saeko and Miss Shizuka about my decision for now, then talk with the Takagi family. I also need time to fully recover right now.'

Just as I thought about that, the dojo door opened.

Creak-

I turned around and found Don Takagi entered wearing a training gi.

"Busujima Daiki, you're early." He said.

Talk about the devil and he showed up, huh? I smiled at him and replied, "Indeed. I woke up early because I have important decisions to make. And I just finished thinking about it. Don Takagi, if you're free, can I have your time for a bit?"

Don Takagi looked at me for a brief second and then nodded. "Sure. But with one condition."

"What condition is that?"

"Have a sparring match with me. I want to know your skill before you leave this place."

Hearing that, my eyes widened slightly. So he had a feeling I wanted to leave this place?

"Are you sure you're okay with that?" I asked again.

"You will tell me after anyway," he shrugged, "And I want to see your ability myself. I heard a lot about it from Saya, but I want to witness it myself."

I nodded at him. This might be a good opportunity to test my power too. Although I was injured, I was stronger than before.

We wore the body protector often used in kendo matches and took our position. The head protector would only be in the way, so I didn't use it, neither did Don Takagi.

A skilled person would be able to stop their strike before hitting the opponent, so I was sure I would be fine. If we're talking about injury, Don Takagi also had some minor bruises from the failed expedition to the water treatment plant back then.

After getting into position, facing each other, Don Takagi asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes."

With that, he yelled, "HA!!"

He charged at me while raising his bokken overhead and swung down fast.

His attack was swift and powerful. But I parried it easily using my bokken. The impact was hard but tolerable.

Our body build was pretty similar, just that I was slightly slimmer due to my younger age.

In return, I swung diagonally. He dodged it by jumping back and regained his stance.

"Good reflexes. Let's increase the speed then."

He launched a flurry of slashes; each of which aimed for my vital areas. I managed to dodge or deflect most of them though. 

‘Ugh, it’s heavy. Even with my current strength, his precise strike is still hard to defend!’

Occasionally, he'd feint, forcing me to change directions abruptly mid-air, throwing me off balance, leaving me open for his counterattack.

"Ugh."

In terms of skills, he was way above me. An advanced sword practitioner compared to me. He knew exactly how to pressure someone based on their posture alone.

We continued to spar like this until he knocked my weapon away during our clash.

Thud!

This was my defeat, but a satisfied smile was plastered on his face.

"You're pretty good for a young kid. Were you taught the Busujima Sword Style?"

"Yes, but I am not as skilled as my sister yet. I slacked off practicing sometimes."

He grinned after hearing that. "So you're the type that is blessed with raw talents, huh? But you don't like working hard for it?"

I smirked after hearing that question. It reminded me of how I trained after learning about the future.

"Yeah, I am like that. After realizing that things won't get better if I don't work harder, I started doing so."

"Good mindset. Make sure to report to me before you leave. I have some information that might be useful to you."

With that, he turned around and left the dojo, leaving me alone once again.

If I had to describe him, then Don Takagi was like a storm. He was calm, quiet, but also violent and explosive when it counted.

[Dungeon] Chapter 54 – Quick Lesson! How to Cure Trauma

"Your trauma will prevail if you are stuck with it forever. Try fighting. Only then will you get over it."

While talking to her, Cain approached the Orcs, raising his shield. The monsters growled as their eyes turned bloodshot red.

The nearest Orc charged, barreling towards Cain and slamming into him full force. Unfortunately, its thick skull met his sturdy shield, causing the monster to stumble backwards as Cain absorbed the impact and shrugged it off nonchalantly.

"Move aside, young man." Azazel ordered, prompting Cain to step aside and let the fallen angel handle the situation.

"Just incapacitate them."

Grinning broadly, Azazel took off like an arrow loose from a bowstring, soaring through the air. He swung his spear swiftly as he flew overhead, cleaving deep cuts along each orc's joints without slowing down.

Blood gushed forth in torrents as he slashed ruthlessly.

"That's one. One more."

"I got this." Cain stabbed his sword deep into the Orc's leg, causing the monster to grunt in pain. He kicked and pushed it to the ground, then gestured to Azazel to help him cut its limbs.

Feeling intrigued and wanting to find out more about Cain, Azazel decided to play along. Soon enough, they incapacitated the two monsters.

"Now, you just need to kill them, girl."

Just like Azazel being curious with Cain and allowing him to do as he pleases to judge him, so did the boy.

Cain had another goal of doing something this extreme, pushing the traumatic girl to kill the orc. Emotions were the source of his income. Having someone traumatic and cure them afterward sounded delicious.

He could hear his large income from this run.

And who knew, maybe Azazel planned on doing so as well. Using Asia's trauma and guide her.

Like a test of worthiness to be part of their organization, or even simply because he cared much about her.

Not that it mattered to Cain. It was amusing either way. Asia's body was trembling like a little rabbit cornered by wolves.

Cain made it obvious he and Azazel weren't planning to kill the helpless monsters, prompting the blonde girl to act.

"P-Please don't..."

Unfortunately, begging for mercy didn't work. In fact, the orcs roared as if angry and about to stand up despite missing limbs.

"Don't worry," Cain said, approaching the frightened girl. He presented his sword's handle to her. "Just a quick stab through the heart or skull is enough. They killed you, no? It's just right to return the favor."

"N-No, I c-can't." Tears flowed freely from Asia's cheeks as her fear overcame every ounce of rationality left in her mind. "I-I'm sorry b-but it's impossible f-for me..."

Asia choked on her words, unable to utter another word. Her hands clutched her chest tightly. Her breathing became erratic.

"Do it." Cain pushed the handle toward her again. "I don't know what it means in your world, but dungeons are dangerous. One wrong move and pity toward your opponent will result in your death. Or maybe a worse fate than death."

Then, he walked past her.

"They killed you back then. You have to show them that you are strong and that you deserve to live. Otherwise, they won't know and will do the same again. That's how cruel this place is." He continued as he walked, stopping right between the orc that still roared, "Here, I will prove it to you."

"No!"

Stab!

Ignoring Asia's shout, Cain raised his sword high before plunging it deep into the orc's neck, twisting and pulling out the blade. Blood sprayed everywhere as the beast cried out loudly in pain.

It stopped moving after a few seconds.

Sighing softly, Cain wiped some sweat off his forehead. Then, he turned around to face the terrified nun again.

"See? It's not that hard." He pointed toward the dying beast. "Its friend is already struggling to move, though. Better act quickly before it crawls toward you. Fire orcs can breathe fire when they get angry, I heard. Imagine finding yourself engulfed in flame, it's hell, isn't it?"

The nun gradually paled as Cain's explanation reached her ears. Imagining herself burning to a crisp slowly creeped inside her mind. The heat, pain, smell, suffering. All of those things flashed across her thoughts.

Seeing the girl's reaction, he smiled coldly.

"Would you rather suffer through all that agony again? I bet it hurt terribly." He said, looking at Azazel briefly.

The Governor stood silently, observing them closely without saying anything.

"Suffering is inevitable, but enduring such pain is unnecessary if you can prevent it by yourself. Your best option is to kill it. Quickly! Stab the bastard before it reaches you!"

Asia gasped aloud and stepped backward instinctively as soon as she saw the orc crawling closer toward her. Slowly, it was getting closer and closer, moving to the weakest enemy in the vicinity.

"B-But..."

"It wants to kill you!" Cain shouted angrily. "Haven't you learned from your previous experience?! You died because you couldn't bring yourself to take your enemy's lives. Take this sword and put an end to this miserable monster!"

His words echoed throughout the forest, reverberating deeply within the depths of Asia's soul. Taking the final step, she took the weapon and held it firmly.

Her whole body shook violently due to nerves.

"Ah- Aahhh!"

As the injured orc drew nearer and nearer, panic set in. An indescribable pressure built upon her shoulders as she stared down the approaching creature. The sword in her hand felt heavy, so heavy in fact she nearly dropped it.

Even so, her resolve remained unbroken.

She bit her bottom lip hard as if to steel herself further, mentally preparing for whatever may happen afterwards. Despite everything, she knew that Cain would never allow the orc to kill her. It was just... too painful.

If the torture would last long... Asia didn't know.

Better end it quickly.

"Aaaah!"

She screamed and stabbed wildly. She stabbed blindly. She aimed desperately.

Scream and stab!

Blindly thrust the pointy end toward its target.

Her tearful eyes widened when the tip of the sword sank into soft meat. There was a faint squelching noise.

"Uwaa!" Asia yanked back the sword with all her strength, horrified when the entire blade dripped thick crimson liquid.

Miraculously, she stabbed the orc right in its eye, deep enough to kill it. The sword's enhancement helped greatly, turning the iron into a deadly weapon that could pierce the flesh of the fire orc.

"I... d-did it..." Her knees buckled beneath her.

Collapsing onto her knees, Asia vomited uncontrollably as tears cascaded down her cheeks like raindrops on glass windows.

Azazel approached and whispered to Cain, "You're more cruel than I thought."

While nodding slightly, he responded calmly. "Just trying to give her some lessons."

And farm some Coins, he added in his mind.

[HOTD] Chapter 45 – Saya Join the Party

"Brother, please do me again!" Saeko asked while wiggling her butt sexily.

She knew which angle worked best to make her look good in front of me, presenting herself invitingly with legs spread wide apart. Her cute asshole twitching innocently above swollen lips leaking out trails of juices.

I did wanted to fuck her senselessly, but we had another guest.

My cock was freed from Miss Shizuka's tight wall and twitched excitedly in front of Saya.

Seeing my full attention focused solely upon herself caused blush crept across her cheeks.

"So what are you going to do now? Will you go and complain to your father?"

"Hnn! ♥" As soon as I questioned her, the stubborn girl huffed haughtily and crossed her arms underneath her ample bustline. "I-I guess I'll allow you to take care of me today."

However, as usual, her body betrayed her words. With one hand holding her dress upward and the other rubbing her sopping pussy lips furiously. "But I won't forgive you if you do it badly! You hear?"

"Oh, really?" My gaze traveled downward momentarily, observing her drenched privates. "Well then... Beg for it."

I approached Saeko from behind and cupped her breast, eliciting soft moans out of her mouth. She raised her leg, opening her lower hole further for easier access.

"Sis, show her how to beg."

Understanding my order, she turned her head to Saya. Her expression darkened dangerously, almost predatory like.

With one hand fondling her right breast, my free hand went down to play with her clitoris, causing a jolt run throughout Saeko's body. Her walls clenched strongly, nearly crushing my cock in the process.

Moaning loudly, my sister complied readily and begged beautifully for me, "Please... Fuck me. Make me scream! Use me like a dirty bitch and fill my hungry hole with your thick cock! ♥"

Listening to Saeko begging properly like this drove Saya wild. Her fingers worked faster, stimulating her needy pussy even more furiously than before.

"P-Please... Please use m-me..." She panted heatedly, eyes glued onto my raging boner that entered Saeko's pussy deeply, stretching her insides wide open.

Lubricated by the previous session, my penis slid easily in and out of Saeko's wet folds, causing delicious friction between our genitals. Lewd squishing noises resonated loudly.

I kept fondling my sister's breast while sucking her tongue, ravishing her mouth with mine.

"Gugh! You dare ignore me again? Hnn♥!"

That irked the pink-haired girl greatly. However, a stream of pussy juices leaked from between her legs.

'Does she have a masochistic tendency?'

I broke away from kissing Saeko and turned my attention towards Saya. She watched us fucking like rabid animals intently; face flushed crimson red hue due to arousal induced by spectacle before her very eyes.

Despite obvious discomfort present on visage, I knew she enjoyed every moment spent ogling our intimate sex.

Suddenly struck inspiration; ideas sprung forth instantly upon witnessing her state of lustful agitation. I decided to tease her further just a little bit longer.

I picked Saeko up and showed her cunt to Saya, giving a wonderful view of my cock entering my sister's gaping pussy. Saeko yelped, but immediately held onto me and wrapped her legs around my back.

My cock was buried deep inside her vaginal caverns once again.

"Ah~ ♥ Ah~ ♪ Brother, cum inside me!"

The sensation was incredible. I could no longer hold myself back and slammed myself into Saeko relentlessly, lifting her slim body effortlessly in midair.

"I am cumming, sis!"

"Ahhh! ~Brother!!♪~"

Both of us climaxed simultaneously, filling each other with torrent of warm liquids simultaneously. Stream of semen escaped her pussy, dripping down onto the floor below. Our mixed sexual fluids splashed everywhere as a result.

Saya's eyes followed the scene. She masturbated furiously until she orgasmed loudly along with us. She sprayed her juices uncontrollably, creating a mess beneath her own feet.

Once everything died down, I placed Saeko carefully down beside the bed. Miss Shizuka was still leaning against it with a satisfied look on her face.

And then... I turned my attention to the only woman who I hadn't fucked yet.

Our eyes met; hers wide eyed staring at mine anxiously whilst panting erratically, evidently aroused beyond measure after witnessing such explicit display beforehand.

"You know what to do." I said, sitting on the bed. My dick standing upright, waiting to taste the girl in front of me.

Saya took hesitant steps closer, approaching cautiously as if afraid that slightest misstep might lead to dire consequences later.

Her lips quivered slightly when reaching arm length distance away. Then slowly kneeled down right between my legs, hands trembling slightly while looking up at me shyly. Her clothes had long since shed, revealing her huge breast, slim waistline, and perky ass.

Everyone in this world looked so pretty and sexy. My cock twitched in excitement as it touched her cheek. Saya's warm breath tickled sensitive flesh making the tip leak precum. It smelled strongly like fresh semen thanks to consecutive rounds with two different women earlier.

"This is stupid..." Despite murmuring those words under her breath however; she nevertheless leaned forward, licking along the entire shaft passionately.

Her awkwardness and inexperience made it so exciting, seeing her tongue moved timidly. However, she soon lost control of herself when I leaked precum near her lips.

"Mmm~..."

She moaned cutely before wrapping mouth fully around swollen head, sucking greedily without restraint.

"Mwah~♥" Her voice was laced thick with desire and hunger; saliva dripped freely down corners of lips.

Now clean and lubricated, my cock ready to enter her virgin hole, but Saya wasn't done yet.

"Come here." I pulled her and pushed her on the bed, lifting her legs widely and exposing her dripping pink pussy.

My cock positioned right at her entrance, teasing her by poking it lightly.

"D-Don't stare!" Her face flushed beet red as embarrassment flooded her features, probably aware that I'd been staring intently between her spread legs all this time. "Just do it already..."

She muttered shyly beneath her breath as juices leaked profusely from her private parts.

"Fine."

"Hnnn!♥ I-It hurts."

Without further ado I thrust myself deep within her tight confines eliciting sharp cry mixed pain pleasure escaping her throat. Saya whimpered softly, clutching bed sheets tightly in attempts to alleviate discomfort brought forth sudden intrusion.

"Noo~! Hngg!♥"

Despite complaints however, her body reacted differently. Walls clenched vice grip surrounding my member securely refusing to let go; hips bucked upwards instinctively.

"Yes! Now this is how you should beg, Saya." I said while pumping furiously into her wet folds.

I kept pushing forward until eventually hitting her womb directly, eliciting delighted squeals coming out her mouth.

"Nyahh! ♪ Aaahhh!!♥ W-What is this... So good♥! M-More! Aahn♥~!" Saya arched back violently and shuddered intensely; toes curled upwards and her legs tensed.

Her hymen broken, I pulled back momentarily only to penetrate her deepest depths hortly afterwards.

Every movement elicited loud cries coming from Saya, driving her wild ecstasy every second passed by.

I began to move faster; gripping her supple buttocks firmly while slamming downwards repeatedly.

"Ah!♪Ahn!Aahhh~♥Yes! More!! Ah! ♪" Cries grew increasingly frantic alongside increased pace; nails digging hard into bed sheets beneath.

Each thrust caused boobs to jiggle invitingly prompting me to grab hold and fondle soft mounds appreciatively. When I did...

"No! Don't touch me there... I am quite sen- Hnn!♥"

'So her boobs are sensitive?'

Knowing a new information, I licked my lips and began to focus my attention there. When my finger brushed against her nipple, she trembled violently beneath me and gasped loudly, trying desperately to push me off unsuccessfully.

Unfortunately for her though, I was stronger. AND despite obvious discomfort shown throughout the entire act thus far – body betrayed her thought.

"C-Cumming!"

Unable to resist temptation any longer, Saya succumbed completely; letting out a high pitched scream accompanied by violent tremors traveling the entire frame. Pussy juices sprayed forcefully soaking bed sheets beneath.

"Kyaa! ♥"

Almost at the same time, I also felt that I was about to cum. I pulled my member out of her clenching pusy and positioned myself near her head. She immediately knew what to do. Opening her mouth in anticipation, Saya welcomed the familiar feeling of hot liquid spraying inside mouth.

Burst after burst shot forth coating insides mouth completely. A white pool of semen collected in her tongue before swallowing eagerly gulp after another.

"Mmmmhhh~♪~"

Moaning sensually as if tasting the most delicious treat ever; savored every last drop flowing down my throat satisfyingly. Once finished emptying the load, she opened mouth showing contents therein.

"That was gross♪!" She complained weakly before closing eyes tiredly.

[Ding! You have received 50 Shop Points + 1 All Stats.]

Three women sprawled naked across the luxurious king size bed, cum covering their bodies and faces.

Looking around at everyone sleeping soundly; satisfied expression evident upon their faces.

I smiled contentedly before laying beside them peacefully, enjoying warmth from their nude bodies through the night.

[Dungeon] Chapter 53 – Hot Hot Hot!

'It's so hot!'

Cain experienced this floor he created to make people uncomfortable directly and couldn't help but to complain. His plate armor was already heavy and stuffy. The hot atmosphere didn't help at all.

"Wow, it looks like hell." Azazel commented, impressed.

Coming from someone who might have seen real hell already, Cain felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Meanwhile, Asia shivered lightly. The hellish sight in front of her brought back the bad memories of the previous dungeon. But now, she tried to gather courage to press forward with Azazel and Cain.

"My role is a tank." Cain started introducing his build, "I specialize in defending myself using the shield and sword to fight monsters. While I cannot defeat them instantly, I can defend you."

"That's dependable." Azazel nodded, understanding his job perfectly.

The grigori's governor was someone who played a lot of games. He knew the term Tank, and how vital it was for survival, especially for someone like him who had no experience fighting with monsters.

Even if Cain was weak, the ability to shield someone else was important.

"My role is the attacker," Azazel said, unsheathing a weapon from his sleeves. "A spear of light."

An angelic spear that burned intensely with holy power, sharp as a razor, and long as Cain's height. Its golden color shimmered beautifully, radiating divine energy.

"...wow." Cain's mouth formed a small 'o'. "Can I touch it?"

"No."

"But it looks really beautiful." He complimented.

"Right? Everyone said it looked beautiful, but it's dangerous." Azazel proudly swung the spear a few times. "Anyway, do you use magic? Aren't you a vampire?"

Cain smiled wryly at that. To think he could deduce the truth just from seeing his features. He didn't plan on hiding anything, so it was fine, though.

"Well, I compensate for being unable to use magic by my immense defense. As for weakness against sunlight, I won't be able to go to the outside world freely, so there's that. But there is no sunlight here so I have no problem."

They talked as they advanced deeper into the fiery land of Elemental Tower. Cain told Azazel about the Dungeon Chat Room, who should've gained two more members since Itachi and Kisame had entered.

But when Cain checked earlier, it seemed like they hadn't registered themselves.

Having new members meant new activity in the chat room, so he half forced Azazel to open it.

"It's true. So I have to input my name here and I can join the chat room, huh?" He muttered, amazed by the floating window that he could call anytime, "It's like a game."

"Game?" Cain pretended to be oblivious.

He told the fallen angel that he came from a city where dungeons like this were common, a different world than theirs. Of course, Azazel was intrigued.

At that moment, a group of 3 fire goblins appeared from beyond the trees. Their red skin glistened from the fire and lava.

"Goblins? Perfect!" Azazel laughed.

Before either of them could move, Azazel leapt into the air with surprising agility, disappearing in an instant before appearing again right above the heads of three unsuspecting goblins, his spear shining brightly as he thrust it through their skulls and out their mouths with blinding speed.

"Guahh!" The fire goblins roared in agony. Blood splattered across Azazel's clothes, staining them crimson red.

Without wasting any more time, he withdrew the spear with swift movement. As soon as he landed safely onto the ground, the creatures collapsed motionlessly beside him.

Both Cain and Asia stared blankly at what just unfolded within mere seconds. Asia was clearly frightened by Azazel's brutality. Not only was it brutal, it was also bloody. Yet she stayed strong, clenching her fist tightly.

"That was..."

Even Cain was taken aback by Azazel's strength. As expected from a powerful entity like a Cadre of fallen angel. He looked like a normal middle-aged man outside, but he was someone who had lived for hundreds of years and fought in the Great War.

Compared to Rias and the others...

'He's on another level. The anime did him dirty.' He thought.

The fire goblin wasn't weak. In fact, it should be stronger than a skeleton.

"Azazel, you should try to save your stamina or magic. The first rule in the dungeon is not to go all out from the beginning. We don't know what will wait for us later."

Cain tried to keep the fallen angel in check. Having someone reckless might endanger them all.

And as a dungeon maker, he would be bored if all fights ended in such a fast manner. He wanted to witness his creation terrorizing his target.

Azazel smirked.

"That makes sense. I will leave the first move to you if we encounter the next monster then." He nodded.

With that said, they continued venturing further until they came across more goblins.

Cain moved to protect them when five goblins attacked simultaneously. He raised his shield to protect Asia behind him.

"Kyaa!" She screamed when an arrow bounced off from Cain's shield. Three of them used melee weapons while the other two shot arrows.

"Azazel! The archers!"

"On it!" He immediately leaped into the sky.

He was too fast for the archer to aim at, killing them with a single strike of his spear.

At the same time, Cain swung his sword at the nearby goblin. His Prototype Sword, enhanced with sharpness, cut the goblin easily. Unlike when he was against the skeleton, he only had to cut flesh to kill the goblins.

In a way, it was easier.

Meanwhile, two goblins approached him while swinging their crude clubs. Cain defended himself with the shield, easily deflecting the goblin's attack.

He smirked and pushed forward with his shield, toppling the goblin he pushed. Seeing that, the other one jumped backward to avoid being toppled, giving Cain a chance to strike the downed goblin with his sword.

"Gyaaa!!!" It shrieked.

Without wasting any more time, Cain kicked it far, straight at the last remaining goblin that evaded his attack previously.

Because of their similar height, it crashed onto the last remaining goblin.

"Damn, kicking it hurts me too..."

Recovering faster, Cain got up first. Using his shield to bash its head twice, he finished it with the sword. He smiled when it finally stopped moving.

"Not bad." Azazel applauded.

Asia exhaled a huge sigh of relief. Seeing the goblins dead on the ground, her tense muscles relaxed somewhat. She was glad to have these two guys protecting her. She felt safe knowing that they wouldn't harm her in any way possible.

"No loot, huh?" Cain muttered after checking the corpse, "This dungeon usually give drop, like Coin or something useful. Make sure to pick them up." He continued, giving Azazel information he needed.

Afterward, they continued further ahead, passing the burning forest. Inside, they were greeted by another adversary.

"No..."

A large pig-like humanoid monster, the Orc. They were bigger and stronger-looking compared to goblins. Two of them stood together menacingly.

These tuskers resembled wild boar except for their size. They sported tough leather hide colored dark brown with patches of orange fur scattered over its body.

"Tough enemies, I suppose?" Azazel said, eyeing those Orcs carefully. Then, he noticed Asia's trembling body. "Ah, I understand. They were the ones who killed you back then, right?"

Asia nodded weakly.

Azazel sighed and tapped her shoulder. "Well, I will protect you so you're safe."

"You need to kill them." Cain interrupted them, stepping up first.

[HOTD] Chapter 44 – Watching and Join

Yesterday's post was hidden by patreon due to the title. I will upload it again here.

***

At that time, both Saeko and Miss Shizuka turned around to look at Saya. Saeko didn't have any special expression, only turning back to my cock and cleaning it with her tongue.

On the other hand, the nurse giggled seeing her expression. "Oops, sorry~ We forgot to lock the door. What brings you here?"

"W-What the hell?! D-Daiki?! Y-You—" Saya stammered, unable to comprehend what happened here. "A-All of you are doing something indecent! Pervert!" she cried indignantly.

"Am I a pervert, sis?" I asked Saeko, whose tongue never stopped servicing my dick.

Only when it was clean did she raise her head and looked at Saya with indifference. "No. This is a normal activity between families."

"That's not normal!!"

"Well, whatever it is..." I got up and approached Saya. "Now that you're here, don't you want to join us?"

"What—No way!" Saya scowled and glared at me, looking angry for being treated like this after we saved her.

"Come on. You know you want this~" Miss Shizuka cooed sweetly as she approached me from behind. Her bare breasts pressed firmly against my backside, teasingly rubbing them. "Look at your clothes. You're only wearing a short pajama dress. Not to mention..."

Her gaze went toward Saya's wet thighs. No need for a genius to figure out that she must've played with herself earlier.

Maybe she listened to us from outside and masturbated, only to enter when she cummed and regained clarity. However, that was a mistake. She never expected that I would sleep with two women.

Saya followed where Miss Shizuka looked at and quickly hid her crotch.

"S-Shut up! Who wants that thing?!"

"Aren't you the one who spied on us?" I approached her closer.

The room already smelled like sex. And the situation didn't help Saya either. So it was natural to assume she was getting aroused seeing the man she liked have sex with others.

Saeko also approached us, smiling like a predator that cornered its prey. I didn't expect my sister to agree with my decision and join in the fun.

"Do you hate my brother that much? But he saved you, didn't he?"

"W-What? I... No, that's not it!" Flustered, Saya denied vehemently. Yet despite all protestations, her body betrayed every word spoken aloud. She squirmed uncomfortably under our gazes.

"Well, if you don't want to, then it's okay." My sister said so and approached the wall. She put her hands on it and raised her hips, moving her ass left and right.

Her juices dripped from her exposed flower, inviting me for another round of sex.

"Brother, please give me your thick and long cock. Shove it inside me and break me."

A lewd expression written over her face.

Following her, Miss Shizuka also lined up next to her and spread her pussy for me.

"Fufufu, how about choosing me, Daiki?"

Saya, who saw both of them, gritted her teeth in frustration. Her fists clenched tightly at the sides.

It was as clear as day. She was jealous. Whether it was because of Saeko or Shizuka, or because she couldn't get what they enjoyed, it didn't matter.

I approached Saeko first and inserted myself into her snatch.

"Ahhh!♥"

I groaned at the feeling of tightness surrounding my cock. I began pounding away rapidly; slamming harder every passing second until I found a rhythm matching Saeko's cries of ecstasy.

Her walls clamped around my shaft deliciously. Feeling incredibly aroused, I increased pace vigorously until neither of us could hold back anymore.

Saeko screamed in utter ecstasy as I plunged my manhood into her depths relentlessly, reaching her womb over and over again.

While pounding her, I fingered Miss Shizuka's pussy with the lubrication from Saeko's dripping pussy juice. She kept moaning in delight, egging me to go faster and harder.

Witnessing all of this, Saya couldn't hold it anymore and finally gave up her resistance. Her hand reached into her panties and started playing with herself, inserting her fingers deep inside herself.

It was erotic seeing the tsundere masturbating while watching someone else fucking each other senseless.

"D-Don't look!" She complained but didn't stop pleasuring herself regardless. Rather, her movements became bolder. Perhaps she liked being watched while touching her privates.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but grin. "Do you need help? Listen to Miss Shizuka here."

"Oooh♥! Your fingers are so good, Daiki!" The nurse cried out, wriggling cutely as she grinded her ass against my hand. Her juices coated my fingers thoroughly in a thick layer of love juices.

"Hnn! Faster♥! I want you to break my pussy, brother."

"S-Shut up!" Saya hissed angrily through clenched teeth, clearly embarrassed by being caught red-handed doing naughty things.

I smirked amusedly, deciding to ignore the little vixen for now. I pulled my cock from Saeko's pussy and slammed my member into Miss Shizuka, making sure to hit deep inside of her core.

"Oooh!!♥"

She screamed blissfully when my cock rammed against her cervix. I grabbed her waist tightly and pistoned my hips forward without mercy. My balls slapped loudly against her asscheeks every single thrust I made. 

Each blow sent a ripple reverberating throughout her entire body.

Of course I fingered Saeko too.

"I'm cumming!!♪ Nnnngh!! Ooooohhh!!!"

Saeko exclaimed joyously, arching back violently and shooting copious amounts of fluids everywhere. Meanwhile Miss Shizuka's moans grew louder as I kept abusing her poor little pussy relentlessly.

My breathing became ragged as pleasure filled my senses. Sweat poured down my forehead profusely, dripping onto the floor below.

At this time, the tsundere finally gave up her resistance and shouted.

"♥~W-Why do you keep ignoring me?! You should be ashamed of yourself! Do you want me to report this to my dad? Huh?! He will kick you out of his home!" Saya threatened arrogantly, glaring daggers at me with a hint of desperation mixed within those blue orbs of hers.

Still, she continued playing with herself, though now openly in view of everyone. Her panties were on the floor, and her dress was rolled up to her stomach.

Her pussy looked beautiful, pink and glistening, very wet and moist. In addition, her pink nipples were visible through her clothing, poking hard from her excitement.

I chuckled seeing this and gave one more deep thrust into Miss Shizuka.

"Ooh!♥~Cumming!!" She cried out loudly before collapsing backwards, leaning onto my shoulder. I kept supporting her with my hand, while still penetrating deep within her tight canal.

After cumming from who knows how many times, Miss Shizuka's legs gave up and she slumped to the ground.

[Dungeon] Chapter 52 – First Party!

In the abandoned church of Kuoh Town, Asia Argento was dressed in a black nun robe, showing her allegiance to the God in heaven. Her golden blonde hair fell nicely around her shoulders, and her blue eyes sparkled in contrast with her beautiful face.

She sat alone, silently praying as she did every night before sleep. In front of her, a statue of a cross, carved elegantly as the symbol of worship stood tall.

"Are you content with this?"

When she was praying, a man's voice rang out.

"Eh?" She lifted her head and looked around nervously. She noticed a man with black hair and a streak of yellow hair standing behind him, "L-Lord Azazel."

Azazel sat on the bench a bit away from her. The Grigori Governor, he was supposed to be her new leader and a protector, but seeing him here made her worried.

"U-Umm, Lord Azazel. Why are you in this town?"

She asked timidly, nervous about meeting him.

The man smiled at her kindly before answering, "I came here to tell you about something interesting. Would you mind accompanying me on a walk?"

"Walk?"

"Yes, walk. You have heard about the sudden appearance of an unknown structure in the town, correct? Well, there's one thing you didn't know about."

"W-What is it?"

He beckoned her to follow, which she did without question. He was someone who gave her place, protecting her after she was banished from the church. The naive nun felt safe following him, though nervous.

"Don't worry," he reassured. "It won't harm you or anyone. I want to take you somewhere new and exciting. This way you'll understand why it happened here and nowhere else."

"O-Okay, I'm coming..." Though wary and skeptical of his words, Asia reluctantly agreed to accompany him.

Soon, they arrived at the deserted park. No one was here in the morning due to school, but the unusual structure still stood erect. A large gate made out of unknown material. Inside the arch, blue energy swirled ominously, inviting and threatening at the same time.

"W-What is this?" She asked.

"A dungeon, the same one that you entered back then."

Hearing the name dungeon, Asia shuddered. She remembered what happened last time and quickly turned away from Azazel. Her body trembled visibly as tears welled up her eyes. She didn't want to revisit that place ever again.

Not after what happened to her before.

"N-No." She shook her head. "I'm sorry Lord Azazel, but please let me stay out of this."

"It's alright," He smiled reassuringly, patting her shoulder gently. "Just trust me."

"B-But..."

"Based on what Raynare said, the death inside the dungeon isn't permanent. Some strange force, let's call it that, doesn't want to kill us, but to entertain themselves instead." Azazel explained calmly.

"How do you know this?"

"It is all speculation right now," the Fallen Angel Governor admitted. "But, according to my source, and that's Raynare and the others, this place is pretty interesting. Maybe you can come along with me to explore deeper?"

"I..." Asia paused. She really didn't want to be involved in the mess again.

"I will protect you. It's my responsibility to make sure none of you gets hurt." Azazel promised earnestly.

Asia took a few steps back from him and gazed doubtfully at the gate behind him. Then, she stared at his face closely. Seeing his expression and listening to his voice, it was clear that he genuinely cared about her safety.

However, the memory of her suffering in the previous dungeon flashed through her mind, and her resolve wavered. The fire, pain, despair. It scared her, haunted her dreams sometimes. How could she trust something dangerous again?

Then again...

"I-I... I'm..." She muttered nervously, shaking her head slightly. "...alright."

Her trembling hands gripped tight on the staff she held tightly. Tears slowly dried from her eyes, replaced with a sheer determination. She couldn't reject the offer. Even if she hated the dungeon, it was Azazel who told her to enter.

"If that's what you wish, Lord Azazel, then I shall obey."

"Great!" With that settled, both walked toward the gate together, side by side.

Their footsteps echoed loudly as they approached closer.

Upon entering, everything turned pitch-black before they reappeared in a wide space that seemed too spacious to fit inside the gate. The Hub greeted them, a safe place devoid of any enemy.

"Wow."

Looking around, Asia gasped at what greeted them; The vast area filled with furniture lined neatly next to each other. Every single one was in pristine condition, and the fountain near the gate in the middle looked very pretty.

Some decorations decorated the wall and corners, while paintings depicting landscapes were hung everywhere.

Two doors stood in the 'dungeon section'. In fact, Asia recognized one of them. The red door that led to her death, a reminder of the hell she suffered.

"This is..."

Meanwhile, Azazel whistled in amazement at what he saw. His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for something specific. He caught sight of the 'quest board', something that piqued his interest. However, nothing was written on it, so he quickly lost interest and looked around.

"Oh?"

At that moment, his eyes caught a boy sitting on the bench. That boy had hair as white as snow and a strange plate armor reminding Azazel of a medieval knight. The shield and sword also added to his impression.

Seemingly hearing him, the boy raised his head slightly and looked at Azazel. He smiled widely.

"Hello, there. Did you just enter the dungeon or have you experienced it already?"

The boy, Cain, stood up. He had been waiting for this time ever since he finished his solo run in Tower of Resentment. Finally, someone had entered. And it was actually someone he knew.

Seeing the Grigori's governor and Asia up close, the character from the anime he watched before, Cain couldn't help but be a little excited.

"It's our first time here. How about you?" Azazel spoke politely, smiling and friendly.

Cain knew this sly man was trying to get information from him, something he was used to seeing during his school years. Especially from the school's delinquents or bullies.

However, Cain himself couldn't hide the anticipation.

"I just returned from the Tower of Resentment. It is pretty fun, though quite hard without any allies. Do you mind if we team up?" Cain offered casually.

"Hmmm," Azazel closed his eyes for a moment. He looked around, noticing that the Tower of Resentment Cain mentioned was the dungeon in the middle.

Having been placed in that place, the dungeon must be difficult to beat compared to others. Raynare and the rest hadn't entered that yet.

Which meant this was an unknown territory for Azazel. And he didn't like that.

"How about we enter that Elemental Tower first? We need to get ourselves used to this dungeon first before going somewhere dangerous."

"Ah, sounds fine to me." Cain nodded in agreement. It was time to experience Elemental Tower as well.

In fact, Cain couldn't be happier that he found them as his first party. Azazel for attack, he for defense, and Asia for healing. A perfect combination!

With that settled, both of them walked toward the red door.

The air shimmered slightly as they crossed the boundary between reality and unreality.

[Dandadan] Chapter 11 – Kuro

After lunch time ended, Jin returned to his class and took the lesson half-seriously. He didn't understand anything at all, but somehow after listening for a while, he understood the lesson quickly.

Perhaps the assimilation also made him smarter? Anyway, he enjoyed this powerup, because learning something complicated usually took days.

In any case, it seemed like he gained something useful during the assimilation process.

Time passed fast and soon it was time to return home.

'Granny Seiko probably won't exorcise Turbo Granny's power inside Okarun once she knows the youkai's consciousness is gone. But now the question is, where is her consciousness flying to?'

Back in the series, the Turbo Granny hid inside Okarun's body, both her consciousness and power. Due to her power being attached tightly to Okarun, only her consciousness moved to a Maneki Neko prepared by granny Seiko.

But now, only her power remained, which made Jin confused.

'Is she fully exorcised? Then why did Okarun's ball disappear and her power stay with him?'

Either way, Jin couldn't think of a solution so he stopped thinking about it. For now, he wanted to get stronger and free his new parents from the curse.

Unlike Turbo Granny, Evil Eye used his spiritual power as a curse. The curse would make people had the urge to suicide. Not to mention there was also that death worm and Kito Family, with the alien hiding as their head.

'I am not strong enough yet.' He thought to himself.

"Grandma, we're here!"

Momo announced loudly. She entered while taking off her shoes, placing them neatly near the entrance of the house before heading to the living room. There, granny Seiko lazed around while scratching her butt.

"Oh, you've returned? Welcome back."

The old woman greeted the youngsters with slight waves and lazy expressions plastered across features. Momo threw her bag onto the floor and crossed her arms.

"Grandma, you said you would exorcise Okarun, no? Why didn't you prepare anything?"

"Did I say that?" She scratched her head and yawned loudly, "I never say it outright. I'm busy here. Very busy..."

Jin glanced at the television, a popular music program was playing. Obviously, it was just an excuse to buy time so Jin decided to call her out.

"Busy watching TV? Ah, I see." Jin scoffed lightly before turning to face two teens, "Seems like everything is in order. Why don't we just try to search Okarun's balls around the city? They should be scattered now."

"H-Hold up there. First of all, his balls are important, but there is something else! And second of all, grandma, aren't you going to exorcise him?"

Momo questioned in bewilderment at how casual conversation proceeded without mentioning specifics about Okarun's current predicament.

"Right. Didn't you say we need to exorcise the curse so my ball returns?" Okarun added anxiously.

Seiko sighed and turned the television off with the remote. She turned at them and took the cigarette from between her lips.

"Listen here, you brat." She said seriously with smoke spewing out of her mouth.

"The power remaining inside you is just a leftover. The real Turbo Granny is gone, maybe already exorcised. And we can't exorcise something that's not there, got it? Listen to Jiji, what he said was right. Your balls might scatter around the city now."

Jin hummed in satisfaction hearing her explanation. It was exactly like what he thought.

"Wait, so his balls are currently in the city?" Momo tilted her head cutely.

Granny Seiko nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find his balls!"

"R-Right. Let's go." Okarun adjusted his glasses nervously as he followed behind Momo.

Unexpectedly, the girl also dragged Jin with him, much to his dissatisfaction to find Okarun's balls. He tried to ask for Granny Seiko's help, but she just waved her hand and watched TV again.

"Have fun."

***

Momo, Jin, and Okarun wandered around town. They decided to split up, with Jin being alone because he could sense any Spiritual power.

Of course, the real reason was because he didn't have any energy to search for the ball. He guessed they might've been picked up by someone else like in the story.

"Let them wander without any clue. I will just enjoy this sight."

He visited the park and sat at the bench. It was afternoon, so many students returning from school as well as couples enjoying their dates were seen in this area.

Obviously, that meant there would be many beauties too, and it was easy for Jin to attract them.

All he needed to do was smile, and watch a flock of birds approaching him, eager to receive his attention and possibly touch him.

However, among them, there was strangely one girl who stood out. Her tanned skin and white hair looked out of place in Japan. At the same time, the school uniform she wore resembled the one used in his school.

'Whoa.' Jin thought to himself after noticing the strange yet attractive appearance belonging to the girl, 'She's quite unique...'

The fact she was shorter but had bigger assets than Momo definitely made her an easy to remember person.

'Maybe she's a foreginer? Or is she a gyaru?' Jin wondered. 'This story doesn't have a dark skinned character yet beside Momo’s friend.'

He tried to remember a character matching this one's description. But nothing came to his mind. Perhaps this girl was one of those random background characters.

She seemed to notice Jin's gaze and stared back at him boldly with a mischievous smirk appearing on her pretty features. It sent chills down Jin's spine when he saw the girl approaching him without breaking eye contact.

Somehow, she felt different from the others. Jin could sense powerful Spiritual Power emanating from within her body.

And it reminded him of a certain someone.

"Insolent boy."

The girl suddenly approached him and stopped a few centimeters away. Jin immediately rose from the bench, stunned by her sudden intrusion into his personal space.

Now that she called him, he became sure of her identity.

"Turbo Granny?!"

Standing there was Turbo Granny in a human form.

Instantly, he transformed into Nurarihyon form.

Her eyes gleamed dangerously upon recognizing who stood before her very eyes—the one responsible for ruining everything!

She wanted to kill him—torture him until he screamed in agony! But unfortunately for her revenge-seeking spirit...she had no power at all.

"What's wrong, granny?" Jin mocked. "Don't you want to fight again?"

And a beautiful youkai with no power was an easy target for Jin. Even if she looked like a granny before, right now she looked more beautiful than a top class model. He leaned closer and grabbed her chin.

"Or do you want me to teach you how to fight in bed? Hmm?"

"Wretched Nurarihyon." Turbo Granny cursed and slapped his hand away before pointing at him angrily, "I may've lost to you but know this. This isn't the end yet. I will get stronger again."

"That's funny because your spiritual power is very weak. Maybe we can train together?"

"I-I can grow on my own! You insolent brat! I will train myself!"

"You do know that I have your aura, right? I keep it in a safe place."

Upon hearing that, Turbo Granny snapped. Anger consumed every fiber of her being as she glared at him.

Smirking, Jin crossed his arms and whispered seductively into Turbo Granny's ear. "I am just saying. Maybe if you follow what I said, I might ask Seiko to return your spiritual power to you, hmm? As you know, I can be really helpful."

She growled furiously at his suggestive words.

"If you're done joking around then leave. I have no intention of dealing with someone like you right now."

"Are you sure? I'm actually offering my services. But if you don't want it, then I will leave."

With that being said, Jin turned around. However, his expression changed drastically when something soft pressed against his backside. It caused him to pause momentarily and smiled.

The fish bit the bait.

"I am sorry, Nurarihyon. Give me back my power."

"That's how it is. From now on, I will call you Kuro from now on, taken from Hyaku Kiro (100 meters) from your name." He said, "And my name is Jin Enjoji, not Nurarihyon."

"But—"

Before Kuro finished her sentence, Jin raised his hand to interrupt her. "No matter, Kuro."

The girl couldn't believe how shameless he was. First, he defeated her and robbed her power. Then, he asked her to serve him in exchange for getting it back.

“I swear I won’t forget how you treat me.”

She swore she would kill him once she got her power back.

[Dandadan] Chapter 10 – Missing Turbo Granny

"Morning."

Jin greeted Momo in the living room right after he woke up and got dressed in his new uniform.

Hearing the familiar greeting coming from behind, Momo turned around only to find Jin dressed in her school uniform. She smiled and pointed at him with her index fingers.

"Jiji, you look good in that uniform. Right, grandma?"

"Not bad, kid."

Without looking away from the TV, and scratching her butt lazily, Seiko lazily answered.

Jin laughed wryly at that response.

"I am happy hearing that from you, Momo." He replied playfully, "Are you ready for school, now?"

"Of course! I have everything prepared for today. I will show you around the school, okay?"

Momo gave a thumbs-up gesture while displaying a cheerful smile.

Meanwhile, Jin chuckled inwardly at the sight.

'I have to admit. She's cute even if she's a bit simple-minded.' He thought.

Both went to the school together. Jin felt nostalgic as he saw the school building and reminisced about the time when he attended one before he decided that it wasn't a place for him.

There was just too much stuff going on that he couldn't focus properly on what matters most. He just dropped out and tried to live independently. That wasn't an easy choice though.

However, it would be different here.

'Many occult stuff is happening in this school. There is no way I can skip it, no?' He hummed to himself.

"Hey, are you listening, Jiji?"

"Hm?"

Momo pouted seeing Jin didn't really pay attention to her words, making her frown slightly before puffing her cheeks in annoyance.

"What are you thinking about, Jiji?" She asked curiously.

"Eh, just about Okarun's balls. It must be suck that he lost them."

Especially since he just experienced something incredible that could only be felt with a complete member last night. The image of granny Seiko riding him was still fresh in his mind.

"Grandma told us to exorcise him later in the afternoon." She explained.

"Ah, yes. Of course, we should go and help him after school. His balls are more important." He nodded repeatedly.

"Right?! His balls are indeed important."

While walking around the school grounds, Momo introduced Jin to several teachers and left him in their care. Then, he was guided through the school before the teacher decided his class.

"You will enter class 2-D. It's a good class and your classmates are all friendly. You won't feel out of place here."

'They are not a bunch of highschoolers with shitty social skills like my previous self.'

Thankfully, everyone welcomed him warmly despite being a transfer student midway through term. Some of his new classmates approached him asking questions regarding various topics ranging from personal matters such as hobbies and interests.

They were pretty normal, except for one girl he recognized as one of the main characters in Dandadan.

'Aira...' He remembered.

The girl with short pink hair approached his desk when the first break began.

She flashed a friendly grin towards Jin who sat there listening attentively at whatever question others were throwing towards him. All students gave way to her, giving space to the girl.

"Hi! My name's Aira Shiratori. Nice meeting you."

"It's my pleasure," Jin smiled back politely.

It was his first meeting with her, but he had to admit something.

'She looks so cute. But, hmm... I think there is something missing?' He noted how there was some sort of odd sensation surrounding her.

Like a fake aura or a mask hiding her true self. Or perhaps she was trying too hard to appear perfect in front of people around her.

'Oh well...' Jin shrugged mentally. 'That's how she is. Not everyone is honest, no?'

Not that Jin wanted to complain anyway. As long as he got along well enough with everyone else, nothing could go wrong. Just then, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Jiji! Lunchtime!" Momo yelled cheerfully. She peeked from the hallway, waving her hand while smiling widely.

Okarun was also with her. He fixed his glasses and waved awkwardly from afar.

"Well, well. Jiji has friends too. I am so glad, because I thought he would be lonely after he transferred. See you later." Aira said before excusing herself and joined her group of friends.

'Don't worry, Aira. You will be lonely sooner or later. Well, she won't if she is careful.' Jin thought and left for Momo and Okarun's location.

He glanced at Aira and her two friends, Tsubame and Anzu, when he passed by.

Beautiful girls gathered around, something normal in a high school like this. Maybe he could get close to them too? He smiled and they blushed.

'Yeah, that would be easy.'

Now that he had such a wonderful body and life, he wouldn't waste his chance.

"Thanks for waiting. Let's go." He said to Momo and Okarun and they headed to the cafeteria.

While walking together, Jin noticed Aira kept stealing glances toward them occasionally.

'Hmm?' He wondered briefly what might be happening inside her head right now.

He watched closely how Momo talked excitedly with Okarun beside her, recounting events regarding their yesterday's night adventures, completely ignorant regarding stares given by other students.

They must've wondered why someone like Momo suddenly talked with a nerd like Okarun.

Jin also caught some students talking about him, whispering that he was cool looking.

Normally he would blush and smile like an idiot. But thanks to the confidence buff from assimilation with Nurarihyon, he just accepted those compliments with grace..

As they arrived in the crowded canteen, Jin found an empty seat in the corner of the room. He sat down with Momo and Okarun after getting some food. Then, they talked about the main problem plaguing them.

"Turbo Granny's power is still inside Okarun. However, her conscious has disappeared somewhere alongside Okarun's ball." Jin explained to the two newbie paranormal world dweller.

Of course, he was also a newbie. But at least he joined the paranormal world 12 hours earlier than them, so that made him their senior.

Besides, this theory also came from an exorcist that was active in the field for more than 50 years, granny Seiko. So Jin was confident that he could explain this to them without trouble.

Okarun played with his glasses as he asked. "Ahem. What will happen to me?"

"Well, as far as I can tell, nothing. Your balls just disappeared and maybe you can transform to use Turbo Granny's power too." Jin casually answered, "You remembered that I can transform using youkai power too, no? You can do something similar now."

"Wow..." The alien-loving boy exclaimed in awe.

Meanwhile, Momo was visibly disturbed. She slammed her palm on the table making everyone jump slightly.

"Then we need to find his ball!" She exclaimed loudly, attracting attention from the surrounding crowd nearby. Some students even started murmuring amongst themselves.

"Yeah, we need to find it." Jin agreed. "But, Momo-chan... Don't you feel embarrassed shouting about ball in this crowded cafeteria?"

"... Don't mention it." Embarrassed, Momo hid her face under her sleeves and lowered her head.

"D-Don't worry, Ayase-san! Everyone knows you are weird." Okarun tried to comfort her, but obviously failed.

"Aaaargh! I was called weird by a weird person!" She cried.

[Dandadan] Chapter 9 – No Balls, Big Rod

A few moments later, Okarun slumped on the table and wept.

"Please just kill me... I can't marry anymore." He cried out bitterly.

"Granny Seiko, what should we do now?"

Ignoring Okarun, Jin asked Seiko about their next course of action concerning the cursed teen boy. She thought for a second, nodding slightly, "We need to exorcise the little worm on his backside. But we're all tired already, so let's do it tomorrow. You also want the reward tonight, don't you, Jiji?"

Jin blushed a little before replying, "Well, yeah."

Following that, they continued to eat while Seiko explained to Okarun what exactly happened and why his balls disappeared again despite supposedly having broken the curse earlier.

Finally, the day ended and Okarun returned home. Momo felt drained and went to the second floor, leaving only Jin and Seiko.

"Now no one is here." Granny Seiko took off her jacket and threw it aside, leaving her in a cardigan with only three lower buttons properly closed.

Two gigantic mountains could be seen through her open cleavage and loose clothes.

Jin licked his lips hungrily.

Despite his calm exterior, deep down his inner self burned with passion yearning for the beautiful mature woman before him. He unconsciously transformed and grabbed Seiko's chin.

"What a hot girl." He said seductively with a grin plastered across a handsome visage belonging to Nurarihyon, "I did try to flirt with you, granny. But I don't think you would make an advance like this."

"Don't get cocky, boy. You're 50 years faster if you think you can seduce me. I am not seduced, you fell for me first."

"I know, you sexy woman."

"Not bad. You've become even smarter when transforming."

Their faces were close to each other. 

Seiko's sweet smell wafted past Jin's nostrils causing him to inhale deeply through nose while savoring the scent emanating from the voluptuous figure standing right before him now. 

The air around them seemed to grow thick with tension; both parties were clearly aware where things led next if this kept up.

Their lips met midair halfway between them, mouths locking together passionately, tongues intertwining eagerly seeking each other out within warm caverns contained therein.

Wet slurping sounds permeated the otherwise silent room, accompanied solely by soft gasps emitted in between.

'Is kissing always feel this good?' Jin thought and closed his eyes enjoying his first kiss.

Not wanting to lose, Seiko sucked harder onto Jin's lips, pressing against him firmly using entire body weight. Her hands meanwhile roamed freely across muscular chest, feeling toned abs beneath smooth skin.

Unable to match such ferocity initially, Jin soon fell onto the futon with granny Seiko straddling him. She pulled her hair tie, letting the white hair flow naturally over her shoulder.

Still keeping her eyes locked upon Jin lying prone underneath her weighty bosom resting atop his torso, Seiko slowly undid remaining buttons holding her clothing intact exposing ample assets beneath fabric that only concealed the important part.

"Wow." Jin whistled as two peaks freed themselves from the clothing.

"Don't 'Wow' me, boy. I know how good I look." Saying this proudly, she leaned forward until her face hovered inches apart from Jin's own staring intently upward towards hers waiting expectantly.

Suddenly, she planted another fierce smooch upon unsuspecting youth beneath her overwhelming frame, kissing feverishly and deeply plunging her tongue straight inside his gaping maw.

Unable to keep pace initially, Jin tried his best to fend off attacks delivered by Seiko's eagerly. He moved his hand across her unexpectedly smooth skin, resting them on her large bosom, fondling her tits firmly.

Inevitably, muffled moans escaped Seiko's lips alongside saliva pooling out corners of her mouth as pleasure flooded her senses.

But it didn't last long however, as Seiko began pushing his head backwards, pinning him down forcefully against floorboards underneath him.

She then proceeded to grind herself downwards onto his groin area rubbing herself roughly across hardness concealed beneath his pants.

She raised her body slightly and pulled his pants down, freeing his rock hard penis.

"Ah..."

Feeling it pulsating against her entrance, she breathed sharply.

"How is it? Way bigger than Okarun's, no?" Jin smirked.

"Don't compare your thing to that child. And no, this size is common."

But then her smile turned into a naughty smirk. "But to take it fully is extraordinary. Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Try me."

As soon as the words left his lips however, Seiko descended swiftly driving his length deep inside her passage.

"Hnn!♥"

His dick reached the deepest part at once, eliciting gasps of ecstasy escaping Seiko's lips uncontrollably. Her walls squeezed around thick organs intruding her moist folds, tightly gripping Jin's whole girth.

'Fuck.' Jin gritted teeth, clenching shut struggling to retain sanity amidst an onslaught of sensations assaulting the brain simultaneously.

Pleasure coursed through his veins, his cock pulsated inside the sexy woman's folds. Still straddling atop him, Seiko stared down at him, her face flushed crimson red.

"Hha~n.. ♥"

With another grunt of exertion escaping Seiko's throat, her hips descended further down. Jin didn't stay silent either though.

He grabbed her perky ass cheeks harshly, guiding movement of plump bottom gliding upwards until only tip remained inside before repeating the motion all over again.

Slapping noise echoed throughout the room punctuated by wet squelches produced during repeated thrusting motions.

As their intercourse went on unabated, beads of sweat trickled down their foreheads, engaging in passionate acts together.

"Aaahn~~~! Fuck...Haa...Is this the best you can do, boy?!♥"

Seiko moaned loudly, writhing wildly atop Jin. She ground herself roughly against the base of the stiff pole, raised her hips before taking everything inside her repeatedly.

Jin grabbed her bouncing tits while thrusting up. This stimulated Seiko greatly, making her scream. They were both approaching their peak.

"Fuck, you're so tight. What a fine piece of ass."

"You're still talking cocky. I'm going to milk you dry."

And just as she said, she tightened her grip on Jin. Her lips curled into triumphant grin seeing Jin groaning weakly beneath her onslaught. However, instead of retaliating immediately afterwards, Jin merely grinned broadly back.

With firm grip still affixed firmly atop her round bottom, Jin thrust upwards hard, pushing deeper inside.

"Hnn!♥"

A loud gasp of surprise escaped Seiko's mouth as his length plunged further inside.

"Not yet!"

Instead of stopping however, he continued pounding away furiously ramming himself repeatedly upwards without mercy.

"Haa—! ♥ Wait— Aaahhhhn! ♥"

Moaning nonstop in tune with Jin's relentless pounding, Seiko bounced atop him frantically, moving herself in sync with each powerful lunge delivered by Jin underneath her.

Before long, her pussy contracted violently, milking Jin's swollen cock inside. Feeling climax nearing, he pulled his cock out at the very last moment before spraying streams of cum everywhere.

Thick ropes flew through the air landing on Seiko's stomach, coating her belly button with viscous fluids. She grabbed the cock and moved her hand up and down while fondling his testicles, coaxing every drop from his spent shaft.

After everything was done, Seiko raised her cum covered hand and licked it.

"That's it for your reward, boy."

Her tongue lapped against palm and fingers coated with semen, cleaning thoroughly with lewd expression apparent throughout the process.

Watching this made Jin hard again, but she already moved away, fixed her clothing, and lit a cigarette. Her smug smile never disappeared though.

"Good boy. That's a lot of nutrients from you. If you are still eager, do something that makes me want to reward you again."

With that said, Seiko exited the room.

"The shower is yours. You better clean up nicely and air your room, or I'm throwing you back to your cursed house."

"Yes, ma'am." He answered, undid his transformation, and laughed.

[Dandadan] Chapter 8 – Defeating Turbo Granny

"You insolent brat!"

Baited, the bound spirit and Turbo Granny chased after Jin who disappeared into thin air whenever they caught up to him, leaving nothing but dust trail behind him as evidence proving he ever passed by at all.

The duo raced past a vast expanse of fields ahead toward the city.

Jin kept taunting her everytime he had the chance, only to disappear with Kyouka Suigetsu every time he finished speaking. And every time, he attracted Turbo Granny's ire, making her furious enough to smash through obstacles standing between them just to catch him.

Trees toppled over easily under powerful strikes dealt forth from large pincers belonging to giant crab; houses flattened instantly into rubble piles as ground shook beneath each step taken by enraged apparitions rampaging wildly through urban areas.

Before long, he arrived at the train line. The meeting place with Seiko was just ahead. But then, there was a problem.

"I forgot about that."

People appeared in his way, chasing him with madness written in their eyes.

"Fools! If I can't catch you alone, numbers are the answer. Shono city is our territory, we can always command spirits sleeping here and ask for their assistance!"

More than hundred people surrounded Jin and attacked simultaneously, forcing him to dodge and disappear repeatedly using Kyouka Suigestu. Due to the low level of the skill, he couldn't really skillfully use it masterfully. All he could do was disappear for a few seconds.

On the other hand, Turbo Granny was able to catch up to him quickly with help from other minor spirits possessing the nearby people. As much as Jin didn't want to hurt innocent people, he had no choice now.

"Sorry, pals. I need to pass." He swung his bat sideways, sending five men flying.

But then, some of them threw stones at him, hitting his forehead. Blood trickled down to his left eye, and blurred his vision. He ignored it and jumped toward the train line, using Kyouka Suigetsu again to disappear.

Turbo Granny chased after him. Her massive crab body destroyed the pillar and the concrete.

"You won't be able to run now! In a place like this, I am faster!"

"Nope. Sorry, Turbo Granny." He smirked, appearing for the last time, "Someone stronger than the current me will deal with you now."

"What?"

Just like that, Jin had already left, leaving her alone.

"Wait! Who will deal with—"

Looking in front of her, she noticed countless talismans placed around the poles, forming a barrier to trap her.

"Ayase-san, she's coming!" Okarun shouted, followed by Momo.

"She's coming, grandma!"

"Welcome to Kamikoshi City." Seiko said.

Momo used her power to grab onto Turbo Granny who tried to stop, holding her in place.

Seeing how well her granddaughter performed, the hot woman wearing an open cardigan showing her cleavage smiled. "Good job, Momo. Now, Jiji, push him here."

"No need to tell me, Seiko."

Jin appeared behind Turbo Granny, whose expression could only be described as fearful. No longer did she maintain calm composure nor look composed anymore. Instead she gazed downward listlessly, unable to even meet anyone's gazes anymore.

"Let go of me, you pig!!!" She shouted furiously yet sounded weak compared to before.

Ignoring her command entirely however, Jin merely slammed his Ki infused metal bat against the massive creature, forcefully sending it flying forwards right into talisman filled barrier.

"Fuuckk!

Turbo Granny roared furiously as her body slammed hard against the barrier made of numerous charms creating a magical force field entrapping her within a certain radius.

"Haah! Take this!"

The Turbo Granny cried out painfully struggling fiercely within confines erected around its huge frame. Its body dissolved, letting all spirits belonging to girls ascend to nirvana. They smiled peacefully as they passed through, finally achieving peace.

Momo and Okarun rejoiced seeing the result of their plan succeed beautifully.

"How's my work, Seiko?" Jin approached Seiko, who was now dressed differently.

She wore an open cardigan exposing a crossed sexy bra and showing her cleavage perfectly, short pants, and large jacket on top.

The hot older woman nodded, satisfied seeing his work pay off spectacularly. "Good work, everyone."

[Ding! You have managed to interfere and defeat Turbo Granny.]

***

After the battle ended, the group visited the tunnel once again to pray for the departed spirits before returning home. Okarun was also invited for dinner and we had boiled crab from a convenience store, although Jin cooked it using a more complicated technique, making it taste amazing.

Jin could see Seiko eyeing Okarun suspiciously, which he could understand. With his Spiritual Sense leveled up, he actually could feel something strange from within Okarun, something he knew very well.

"Boy, why don't you eat. Do you even have a dick?"

"Huh?"

"What the heck did you say so suddenly, grandma?!" Momo shouted and stood in front of Okarun with her arms spread wide as if protecting him, "The curse has been undone, right?"

Okarun himself felt troubled but nevertheless, he nodded awkwardly confirming Momo's statement.

Seiko frowned before answering calmly. "Then show me."

"What the fuck?!" Momo screamed again, this time sounding angrier than earlier.

"Momo, if you don't eat the crab, I will finish them all." Jin chimed in and grabbed a big piece of crab meat and dipped it inside melted butter before putting it into his mouth.

Seeing how happy he looked, Momo jumped at him like a monkey getting its banana stolen.

"That's mine!"

Her focus entirely shifted elsewhere leaving behind poor defenseless Okarun alone with intimidating Seiko waiting impatiently.

"Okarun, show me." She said firmly in a stern tone, refusing any excuses whatsoever. She even crept closer with open arms ready to undress him fully should he refuse further.

"Stop! Are you crazy?!" Okarun stood up and began to circle around the table, evading Seiko's grasp, "W-wait! Let's talk, okay?!"

Unfortunately, as quick and agile as Okarun was, there was always an unexpected factor in life.

"Got you."

Jin suddenly grabbed his arms from behind, grinning evilly. His sudden action caught Okarun unaware thus preventing him from escaping anymore. At that moment, Seiko reached him and immediately pulled his pants.

"Noooo!!!"

Meanwhile, Momo was too busy eating crabs and paid no attention to what happened between the three of them. In fact, she didn't care either way since neither of those two mattered much anymore anyway.

"Foo foo foo, this crab is so good."

She just focused solely on devouring delicious treats on the table instead. The tiny wiener without balls dangling freely didn't even register in her eyes.

[Dandadan] Chapter 7 – Versus Turbo Granny

Reaching the tunnel where Turbo Granny dwelled, Jin saw Momo and Okarun walking toward the entrance nervously. They arrived later than him even though they took the train because the station was located away from this place and they had to walk.

They seemed to argue about something before entering the tunnel together.

"Oh, that's bad." Jin muttered as he saw the tunnel got blocked by a large head.

Not even he could stop that gigantic hat blocking the way. Even if he could enter, he didn't want to waste time there because Turbo Granny was a crafty old hag.

"Momo will deal with that. My job is to deal with the earthbound spirit. Nothing to worry about."

Just like he thought, he felt the curse plaguing Okarun disappeared at the same time of the giant head. Jin could see they communicated with an old, wrinkly lady. He couldn't hear what they said, but it didn't matter.

Everything happened so fast. Momo challenged Turbo Granny in a race and got caught, followed by Okarun. Remembering the legend, he braced himself and bit Turbo Granny's tit.

Or so it should've been.

"Don't even try."

The old, wrinkly lady disappeared from where she stood, causing Okarun to crash against the ground, face first. She appeared behind him, ready to strike him.

Crash!

"Ack!

Before she could land a blow however, a loud slam was heard, signaling Jin's arrival with a black smoke. He grabbed the Turbo Granny and smashed her into the wall, cracking it with tremendous force.

Smoke started dissipating from his presence, revealing his appearance.

"Are you okay, Okarun?"

"Jiji?!" The glassed nerd screamed hysterically seeing him show up out of nowhere and rescue him. "How did you get here?"

"That's not important, no? Rescue Momo and run back to Kamikoshi City. Leave this one to me." He rested the metal bat against his shoulder.

The sight made the skinny boy tremble even worse than usual. His knees buckled beneath himself causing him to collapse backward onto the floor.

"B-But—"

A scream interrupted him and made Okarun whip around, looking for the source. There stood Turbo Granny returning from Jin's attack and glared at them with an enlarged head.

"It's you!"

"What if it is?" Jin stepped forward as he looked down condescendingly upon her ugly form, "Now, Okarun!"

"Y-yes!"

Stumbling around, Okarun managed to pick himself up and went to Momo. He helped her escape from the hands holding her and they escaped together. As they ran, Momo turned around and shouted.

"Jiji!! Be careful!"

Smiling, he saluted before turning his attention towards the enormous apparition before him who growled angrily.

"The boy who ruined my plan again... This familiar yet disturbing presence... A youkai power? How come you have that power?"

"Now, now, old lady. Just let me beat you into submission and leave me alone," he replied nonchalantly without caring whether she understood or not. "You won't die if I smack you hard enough, right?"

Saying thus, he brandished the bat overhead threateningly before slamming it home straightaway. However, Turbo Granny moved faster than he could imagine. She leapt upward to avoid getting hit and then latched onto the ceiling of the tunnel where she stayed momentarily.

"What an arrogant brat!" She snickered loudly.

"Ohh, very impressive. You should be in a circus instead, you crazy old hag." He retorted sarcastically whilst staring at her upside down figure hanging precariously overhead.

In response, Turbo Granny laughed again, louder this time, and stretched herself toward Jin's direction, attempting to snatch him. He dodged to the left, but not before he got scratched deeply on the cheek by her claws.

A trickle of fresh blood flowed down his jaw line where a wound was inflicted upon him.

She cackled triumphantly, gloating over her success until a sudden impact slammed right into her chin knocking her backwards violently.

"That's what you get for messing with me, you old hag. At least appear as pretty as granny Seiko."

The old youkai tumbled several meters away before regaining balance with feet firmly planted against the rocky surface underneath. She shook head vigorously while wiping bloodied nose from a recent blow received from Jin's swing.

As soon as she regained senses again however, she screamed furiously.

"Bound spirit! Kill him!" Turbo Granny shouted frantically at an empty space near the exit door leading outside the tunnel area.

Suddenly, a massive crab appeared behind her, bigger than any creature Jin ever witnessed so far aside from a UFO spaceship earlier that night.

'An Earthbound Spirit. It looks more menacing than I thought.'

"This is troublesome. Seems like I have to become more serious."

For the first time ever, he activated the skill he gained from assimilating with Nurarihyon.

"Kyouka Suigestu."

Black smoke rose from his body and his presence became thinner. He suddenly disappeared from Turbo Granny's sight, making the old youkai shout.

"This presence! As I expected. How did you get his power, you insolent brat! The wretched Nurarihyon!" Turbo Granny screamed maniacally and ordered the Earthbound Spirit to search Jin's whereabouts. "Destroy everything!"

The gigantic crab roared fiercely as it lifted its huge pincers and struck everywhere indiscriminately creating large craters within the tunnel interior where walls crumbled apart due to heavy impacts produced by the monster.

Dirt fell from the ceilings above where cracks spread throughout the entire length of tunnels surrounding them creating an eerie atmosphere akin to being trapped inside a cave collapsing inwards on itself slowly closing off all possible means of escape.

However, Jin had long since exited the tunnel thanks to his skill.

He already stood on top of the hills overlooking Turbo Granny and Earthbound Spirit rampaging through tunnels aimlessly, destroying everything their path trying desperately to locate elusive foe hiding somewhere unknown location nearby.

From the look of it, they had merged, seeing the large eyes and white hair belonging to Turbo Granny appeared on the massive crab's body.

'Damn, that was dangerous. My skill can only hide my presence, so if that claw comes I am toast.'

Thankfully, he was thinking fast when the bound spirit emerged. But unfortunately, he also left behind Momo and Okarun.

'Well, they should be fine. Now the problem is...'

Not only was the bound spirit strong, now it was as fast as a bullet train thanks to the Turbo Granny. To defeat her, he needed firepower. Something that belonged to one of the strong exorcists in the area.

'I need to bait her to Kamikoshi City so granny Seiko could deal with her.'

It was now a game of tag.

And who could defeat a Nurarihyon in it?

So he appeared before Turbo Granny once again, taunting her.

"What's up? Catch me if you can."

[Dandadan] Chapter 6 – Butterfly Effect

In the morning, Okarun made a commotion by saying he wanted to take a poop.

Long story short, Momo and Seiko woke up first and took care of it. Jin heard the commotion of them running through the house and woke up.

Yawning, he walked down the stairs and found Granny Seiko leaning against the wall while Momo looked at the open toilet door. Sitting inside was Okarun taking a poop furiously.

'Don't tell me he's really taking a crap?'

"Oh, you're here." Seiko glanced towards him before pointing her thumb at Okarun. "He's taking a shit."

"Holy shit, with an open door?" Jin commented loudly as he joined them watching.

"Look how much he poops."

"Please don't mention that!" Momo complained and turned to Okarun. "Just so you know, this is really embarrassing!"

However, instead of being ashamed as per usual, this time it seemed like he couldn't care less. Silence reigned supreme between everyone present except when Momo suddenly mentioned something.

"Um, grandma? Your nose is bleeding. Did you-"

Hearing that, Jin snapped out of his sleepiness and transformed. He stood before Momo, shielding her from the toilet door.

"Get back, Momo."

"Huh?"

Turning around, Momo saw a large hat with evil red eyes peeking inside. Compared to Okarun's tiny body, the head was way larger and filled the room. A disgusting stench and slimy substance surrounded him.

"T-Turbo Granny! Grandma, Turbo Granny has appeared!"

"It's no use, Momo." Jin said, narrowing his eyes.

Confirming what he said, the large head spoke.

"Indeed. This is a mere shadow where time flows only for us. Come to the tunnel tonight. If you don't-"

Thud!

Without waiting for her to finish, Jin threw a punch right in the middle of Turbo Granny's forehead. With enough force, he sent Turbo Granny flying straight into the walls surrounding Okarun who sat unmoving inside the toilet seat.

The loud noise broke the silence and everything returned normal, including Okarun's head. Blood dripped from his nose profusely due to the Turbo Granny's attempt to invade his mind.

"Grandma!" Noticing Seiko moving again, Momo shouted desperately. "Your ears are bleeding too!"

"What the?"

Seiko wiped the blood coming from her left ear with her finger, staring blankly at the crimson liquid sticking onto her digits. Then, she noticed the talisman on the wall turned black and turned serious.

"Jiji, tell me what happened." She turned to Jin, who reverted back to normal.

"Mm, Turbo Granny came from the toilet seat," He explained briefly about the situation earlier.

He also added that she mentioned tonight or she would probably kill them all with the curse.

"That explains the talisman being torn apart like tissue paper..." Seiko grumbled while taking out a cigarette, puffing it after she lit it. "Prepare yourself. It seems we have no time to train at all. You will race Turbo Granny tonight or say goodbye to your schlong forever, boy."

"Yeah!" The nerdy boy shouted energetically despite still being weakened physically by Turbo Granny.

Everything seemed to go like what happened in the manga, but Jin wasn't so sure if things would be alright.

Because of him, Momo and Okarun had changed from what he remembered. It was possible for the future to change too if there were differences in the present timeline. Everything depended on them now.

When he was about to return and change his clothes, Seiko grabbed him by the shoulder and stopped him.

"Jiji, if you can keep them safe tonight, I will reward you for your troubles." She whispered in a sultry voice, sending shivers down his spine.

"Granny, are you serious?"

"Aren't you the one who made advances to me last night? Rewarding a kid like you isn't a big deal for someone my age anyway."

She shrugged lightly then flicked away ashes falling from her cigarette stick.

"Just make sure nobody gets hurt during the trip. I am worried about Momo."

Crossing his arms, Jin nodded.

[The world's story has progressed.]

It seemed like he had to work harder.

"I'll keep an eye on them."

***

That night, Seiko donned a proper exorcism outfit to put defensive charm on both Okarun and Momo, who wore their respective clothing too.

Miko wore a miko outfit with a headband while Okarun wore clothes that seemed to come from an exorcist movie, the follower of a miko, with a paper mask to hide his face.

Meanwhile, Jin watched the process from the side. The bell in Seiko's hand chimed twice as she chanted sacred words. A warm light enveloped the teens, forming an invisible barrier around their bodies.

Seiko raised her gaze up toward the sky and muttered under breath, "Protect these children. May the divine grace protect them."

Sensing a wave of spiritual energy emitting outwardly, Jin's eyes widened slightly. This was something that couldn't be felt from the manga. Seeing it directly was truly different compared to reading and looking at the panel.

He grinned widely, liking the feeling. To be able to witness real event from the manga he had read was satisfying.

"This is interesting."

"It might be interesting to you but it will be pretty dangerous for both of them." Seiko approached him after hugging Momo and said farewell, "Remember what I told you earlier?"

"Of course." Jin nodded, affirming her words before continuing on, "I will hide from afar and interfere when they are in danger. Turbo Granny is wary of me after I hit her twice, so the risk of her doing something unpredictable is high."

"Right. Bring this bat with you. It may come in handy." Seiko handed him a baseball bat"

"Thank you, ma'am. You're the best."

"I see that you're still a genius." Seiko loved to be praised so she smiled and tapped his shoulders. "I will make sure to reward you well when you return. Even a split isn't impossible."

Taking the bat with him, Jin transformed and grinned.

"I will take your words to heart." He waved goodbye to them and dashed away, following Okarun and Momo who departed first.

Turbo Granny's tunnel was located slightly away from the city, making it hard to reach by normal means. However, the transformed Jin was far from normal.

He jumped across tall buildings easily as he ran atop roofs and leaped high up in the air before landing gracefully upon concrete pavement below. The wind whistled sharply past his ears as he moved swiftly like a lightning bolt shooting forth from heavens above.

[Dandadan] Chapter 5 – Confidence Up

Returning to the shrine with Okarun in tow, as Momo had to keep the curse from killing him, they introduced themselves and explained everything to Granny Seiko, except the fact that Jin got Nurarihyon's power. He omitted it from the story.

Facing the newly arrived cursed boy, Seiko's brows twitched.

"Again? Two in a row?" She muttered disapprovingly before addressing both teens who looked expectantly awaiting her response. "Follow me brat. You aren't allowed to leave until we exorcise you."

"Yes!" The cursed boy replied dejectedly as they moved to the main shrine.

Seiko set a few talismans and did a few rituals to keep the curse under control. Finally, the old woman let out a sigh of relief and announced:

"Everything should hold now. So you go to a haunted spot?"

"Not me, but him." Momo answered quickly, pointing Okarun accusingly.

"Hehehe..." He chuckled nervously, averting eye contact away from the two intimidating figures glaring menacing daggers at him.

"His schlong got stolen by Turbo Granny. Apparently the curse can't be lifted until he gets it back."

"Oh, so his dick is gone."

"Don't say it so casually like that!" Momo retorted in disbelief while covering her mouth, mortified by how vulgar Granny Seiko sounded, whereas Jin chuckled silently amused at hearing their exchange.

"Also, I got abducted by this alien and now I've got power."

Facing her granddaughter, Seiko flatly said, "There is no such thing as a UFO."

"But Grandma!!! Aliens exist, you know! They're coming from outer space! I didn't believe it either until yesterday, but my psychic power proves it." She protested fervently.

"I believe that psychic power exists and I am not surprised."

"Just what is your range of believing and not? Just ask Jiji over there, he saw the UFO that abducted me!" She pointed at Jin who minded his own business and realized, "Oh, right. Why is Jiji here?"

Finally his existence was registered in this conversation.

With a smirk, he said, "Obviously I came to see you, Momo. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Momo blushed furiously and quickly looked away. She wasn't used to getting teased romantically by good-looking men like him.

But like pouring a bucket of cold water to wake someone, Seiko interrupted.

"Jiji also got cursed so he came." She explained before turning towards Okarun again. "Now then, that Turbo Granny though... You've gotten involved in something troublesome."

"Right?" Jin added while nodding firmly agreeing wholeheartedly to whatever she had said earlier.

Seiko began to explain what Turbo Granny was to Momo and Okarun, who listened from inside the shrine patiently.

Granny Seiko opened her mouth, "The spiritual force inside the tunnel is so strong I can't even get near it. Also, the bound spirit..." She paused, "Turbo Granny has turned into something else entirely after fusing with it."

An audible gulp sounded off behind Jin as Okarun paled considerably after hearing about the details concerning his missing schlong. His facial features twisted grotesquely displaying utter horror written clearly across pale visage.

"Just give up chasing after Turbo Granny. I don't want to lose my grandkids early... Or so I would say if this brat isn't here."

"Hmm?"

Jin raised his eyebrows when Seiko suddenly pointed at him. He wondered what he had to do with anything currently being discussed among them three.

After all, he was just a bystander that saved them from the UFO, nothing more nothing less. He had no direct connection to their current predicament.

On the other hand, he also wanted to meet Turbo Granny directly. The 100 KM granny, the vicious youkai that often made a mess in the whole of Japan. Not to mention there was also an earthbound spirit there.

'I am curious.'

"But what's in it for me, granny Seiko?" He asked mischievously with a sly grin adorning his face. "I get to stay in your house for now, but I am not your personal helper or errand boy."

However instead of getting angry or disappointed by his refusal as expected, surprisingly enough the old lady merely laughed loudly. She laughed heartily and even went so far as to slap her thigh repeatedly, enjoying herself immensely.

Then she answered mockingly. "Oh~ Don't play dumb with me now, Jiji. I am sure that you understand perfectly why I'm telling ya this."

"Fine, fine." With a playful roll of eyes and shrug of shoulders, he conceded defeat reluctantly.

There was no excuse that could pass the old lady. Her youthful and sexy appearance shouldn't become an excuse to underestimate her intelligence.

Although he wouldn't mind if she were to offer a little reward for him, he also knew this was something he had to experience directly if he wanted to chase Evil Eye away from his house. He might also need Okarun and Momo's help to deal with the giant worm.

'Let's just think of this as a training mission.' Thinking so, Jin accepted.

They talked the plan out.

Their goal: Lure the Turbo Granny without getting caught out of Shono City.

After that, Jin would take Turbo Granny down and free Okarun from his curse with his power. 

A pretty straightforward but difficult plan because it required both of them to work together without getting caught.

Once the discussion was finished, Seiko gave Okarun a futon to let him sleep inside the shrine while Momo hit the bed first, leaving only Jin and the grandma awake. They sat around the kotatsu chatting about various things unrelated to occult stuff.

Most of the topics revolved around school life and recent happenings in general.

"So... How do you feel about this world now after having that spirit vision?" She inquired curiously.

"It feels amazing." He answered honestly.

To see everything that was unseen before opened up countless possibilities for exploration.

Whether it's supernatural entities hiding amongst people walking on the streets or monsters lurking within shadows waiting patiently to pounce on unsuspecting victims, being able to observe these phenomena first hand brought immense sense of wonderment.

Not only that, being able to use Spiritual Power or even wielding mysterious powers like Nurarihyon was exciting on its own.

In fact, he felt addicted tapping into his youkai power. He could turn in less than a second now. When he tried it, his appearance changed immediately and he smirked.

"It'd be more incredible if you give me a reward for this plan, Seiko. Say, maybe a little date?" He asked playfully hoping that maybe she would agree just this once.

"Nope! Try again when you're older." She shot down his request flatly. "And don't transform to flirt with me."

"Ehhh, that's too bad. At least let me kiss you."

Before he could move further closer to her, Seiko had already kicked him and he reverted back to his original state. She glared harshly at him before continuing her scolding.

"As I said, you brat. Don't think just because I took pity and sheltered you means that I would give you special treatment! You need to earn what you want in this world, understand?" She barked sternly, glaring down at him coldly making shivers run down spine.

"Alright, alright!"

Having said that, she didn't look too uncomfortable with his request. Maybe after he had proved himself worthy, she may accept it later on.

After all, despite being the oldest character, Jin quite liked her. In fact, she was his favorite MILF character in Dandadan. And since he met her and knew that she looked way better and sexier than he thought, he couldn't help but develop some kind of interest in her.

Some of it was due to his assimilation with Nurarihyon which made him more confident and flirty. When he saw a fine woman, he couldn't help but chase after them, not just limited to younger girls.

With this in mind, Jin bid farewell to the granny before heading to his room.
