For the next few days, Sora and the girls stayed at the house of Marikawa Shizuka and Minami Rika, waiting for a certain loli to appear. However, to Sora's utter frustration, after waiting for three days, the loli still hadn't shown up!
According to the original plot, the loli should have appeared by now. Sora wondered if the fact that he had Miyamoto Rei and the others kill too many zombies earlier had slowed down the spread of the zombies compared to the original story, thus causing the plot to deviate.
Although he had a rough idea of what was going on, Sora didn't regret it. He decided to wait a few more days. If she still didn't appear, he would just have to say sorry, after all, Sora never dwelled too much on anything.
During these three days, Sora wasn't idle either. He continued to have the girls absorb energy beads, which increased their combat power exponentially. To help them fully digest and absorb the energy, Sora also had them go out for some exercise every day. There were plenty of zombies to kill, which was more than enough for the girls to practice on!
On this day, as usual, after breakfast, Saeko and Miyamoto Rei took the swordswomen out to hunt. To familiarize themselves with their abilities, Minami Rika and Hayashi Kyoko also went along, leaving only Sora, Shizuka, and Takagi Saya at home.
Sora, being the boss, naturally had no interest in the whole monster-slaying and leveling-up business. He would rather stay at home and engage in some loving activities with the two girls.
Shizuka, being the airhead she is, wanted to go out and play, but Sora didn't let her. Firstly, she wasn't cut out for combat, and secondly, with her scatterbrained nature, Sora really didn't dare to let her run around outside.
As for Saya, the young lady, she was just plain lazy!
With nothing to do, the three of them stayed at home and watched a movie, a live-action horror film.
To be honest, with a cute airhead on the left and a tsundere on the right, munching on chips while watching a movie was quite enjoyable!
Crash! Around noon, the sound of a door opening.
"Hmm, Saeko, why are you back so early today?"
Seeing Saeko walk in with her sword, Sora asked curiously.
Moreover, what puzzled Sora was that the girl's expression seemed somewhat off, as if something had happened.
"I'm a bit tired, I want to rest for a while."
With a forced smile, Saeko nodded at Sora and the others and headed to her room.
"Honey, what's wrong with Saeko? She doesn't seem very happy."
While feeding Sora chips, Shizuka asked with concern.
"Tch, she's just in a bad mood. It happens a few days every month."
With a smirk, Saya, the young lady, spoke bluntly.
She didn't mean any harm, and compared to Saeko, she was in a bad mood almost every day.
Well, especially when she was being bullied by a certain big bad guy!
"Well, we'll ask Rei and the others later."
With a mysterious smile, Sora knew that it was better to let the girl have some quiet time. Trying to comfort her recklessly would only make her more upset.
It didn't take long before Miyamoto Rei and the others returned. After asking about the situation, Sora finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that after the girls went out, they encountered a group of wandering zombies. As usual, Saeko drew her sword and charged ahead.
Although she usually appeared as a kind and gentle big sister, during battle, Saeko would completely transform into a bloodthirsty, warlike, ruthless, and crazy person…
At first, the girls were quite surprised and even a bit scared by Saeko's dual personality, but after spending so many days together, they had gotten used to it. After all, Saeko was usually very normal and cared for them like a gentle and considerate big sister, so the girls had no issues with her.
However, during today's battle, Saeko suddenly acted strangely. When a child-turned-zombie approached her, she froze in place and even showed a look of fear!
Being distracted and showing fear during battle was something unimaginable for Saeko! If Miyamoto Rei hadn't acted quickly and shot the little zombie in the head, Saeko might have been attacked!
Seeing the girls' concerned expressions, Sora was very satisfied and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Saeko is fine. She's just confused about some things. Let her rest for now. I'll talk to her tonight."
Hearing Sora's words, the girls didn't say anything more, but they were curious about what could be troubling someone as outstanding as Saeko…
That night, the moon hung high in the sky, serene as water. Even though the world had turned into a monster-infested hell, it still fulfilled its duty.
Without turning on the lights, the girl stood by the window, staring blankly at the outside world, her deep eyes showing no ripples.
Her soft and smooth hair cascaded down her back, reflecting the faint moonlight like silk. Her beautiful face, free of makeup, surpassed countless others in the world.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the girl came back to her senses, feeling herself enveloped in a warm embrace.
"You're still awake? It's so late…"
Just by the familiar scent, the girl knew who it was without turning around. She spoke softly, her voice tinged with apology.
"Hehe… How could I sleep when my queen is still awake?"
With a smile, Sora gently rubbed his face against the girl's forehead, showing no concern. His expression was filled with nothing but love and endless tenderness.
"I'm sorry, do you also think I'm a strange woman…"
"Being so bloodthirsty and warlike, I can't help but go crazy when I hold a sword. Yet, I usually pretend to be gentle and kind, acting like a pure girl. Isn't that disgusting?"
Holding Sora tightly, the girl's voice was filled with emotion.
However, what she felt more was her own confusion…
"Don't worry about it, because I like Saeko just the way she is!"
"Whether it's the bloodthirsty and dark Saeko or the kind and pure Saeko, I like both! And you alone have my double love, girl, do you know how lucky you are?"
Stroking her silky hair, Sora said something that shocked the girl. Her deep blue eyes widened in disbelief.
With a smile, Sora's words came straight from his heart. In his opinion, a woman like Saeko was probably one of a kind in the entire world!
"If I can understand the latter, but you also like the evil me? That's…"
Still somewhat in disbelief, Saeko was puzzled. According to common sense, people usually like the pure and cute types. How could someone like a woman who is evil, dark, bloodthirsty, and cruel!
"Ahem… Well, Saeko, you know, your man has a wide range of tastes, so, haha…"
"And besides, I've seen women who are even darker than you! Bloodthirsty, cruel, warlike, and even wishing to destroy the entire world!"
"Hmph, in the end, it was still under my guidance…"
Sora was also a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. As soon as he mentioned bloodthirsty and cruel, a woman with a wicked smile appeared in his mind.
"Pfft…"
Finally, Busujima Saeko was also amused by Sora's expression. Seeing that Sora really didn't mind her abnormal personality, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder who that sister is? And what has she become under your guidance, Lord Sora?"
Blinking her eyes, Busujima Saeko also became a bit interested in the woman Sora mentioned, who was even more evil and dark than herself. Temporarily forgetting her inner confusion, she asked curiously.
"Well… that woman, her name is Karasuba. Under my guidance—"
"She's still the same!"
Rarely showing a dejected expression, although he had trained that crazy woman countless times, he could never change her bloodthirsty and warlike nature. This was always a major failure in Sora's life.
"Hahaha… hearing you say that, I'm even more curious about that sister Karasuba. Sora, can you tell me her story?"
Feeling much better, Busujima Saeko lay in Sora's arms, looking up with anticipation.
"Tell the story of that crazy woman? Ha… alright!"
Seeing that Busujima Saeko had become curious about Karasuba, Sora immediately regretted it. But since it was the girl's request, he couldn't refuse and reluctantly began to tell the bitter and bloody history between him and that crazy woman…
