Chapter 14: How did it begin?
A few days have passed since the night Haruhiro found and saved Yasumi. Haruhiro also tried going to school during this period and found it enjoyable. After confirming their relationship he brought Yasumi to his apartment where he found the worried Anna waiting for him.
Anna then saw Haruhiro and Yasumi holding each other's hands. When Anna saw them, she didn't fume in anger as he expected but waited for him to explain. This left him perplexed but still, he found this favorable for him.
Which is why he decided to once again mix truth and lies.
Haruhiro told her how he found Yasumi about to be violated by Matsumoto Riku and his friends, however, he managed to save her on time. It was then that Haruhiro found out that she was a friend of the person from the apocalypse that Haruhi's soul absorbed. In order to repay the other soul, he said that he will take care of him her entire life.
After hearing that, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She just kicked him out for only a few hours for being jealous but he brought home another girlfriend?
She doesn't know what to say. Anna couldn't disagree since Haruhiro seems decided already but she can't accept it either. She wanted to say that he could help her by just being friends but clearly, the two have already started to develop feelings for each other. Anna could leave, she knows she deserves more, however, just thinking of leaving now would feel like she would really lose something... No, everything she ever wanted.
Almost her whole life she dreamt of being with him and now that she is, will she allow herself to lose and let somebody else take her place? Never.
Which is what led to Haruhiro's current situation.
Haruhiro is now sandwiched between two women of different body types. One is a woman with long black hair that is tied into a ponytail. She has blue eyes that are as blue as the skies, her mouth is curved upwards as she hugged Haruhiro. This woman is wearing a plain black tank top and white shorts that are barely covering her thighs. She's hugging Haruhiro's left arm as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
The other woman, on the other hand, is wearing an oversized gray sweatshirt that clearly belongs to a man. Her violet eyes contain this mysteriousness that would make people want to lose themselves in it. Her short wavy hair adds to her cuteness, and the frameless glasses fit her perfectly. She's now hugging Haruhiro's right arm but unlike the other woman, she is not leaning her head against his head but rather pouting her cute little mouth in protest.
Naturally, these two women are Anna and Yasumi respectively. Ever since that night, the two almost never separated with Haruhiro. When eating they would feed him when watching television just like now they would stick close to him, skin to skin. When it was time to sleep, they would each take their sides and hug him in their sleep.
The only time they won't stick to him is when he's relieving himself or him taking a bath. It's not that they didn't want to stick to him during those times, it is that Haruhiro would simply not allow them to. He wouldn't feel comfortable when they're that close to him as he relieves himself and he wants to spend his time in the bathtub on his own. One has to remember that his soul came from the apocalypse where he rarely ever has a chance to do so, if not at all.
Which is why he treasures this time and will not let the bickering of the two ruin it for him, albeit he somewhat regrets not seeing their bodies on full display. He and Anna also did not have another chance to have their fun since Yasumi always stuck close to them. Leaving the poor Haruhiro pent up and not able to release.
Right now they're watching the news. These past few days have not been good to the world. The newscaster on the screen is a middle-aged woman with a long bob black hair without bangs. She's wearing a white t-shirt inside a gray vest paired with a black knee length skirt. Her name is Honjou Megumi and one of the two newscasters of the 5 pm news.
{Right now five countries have been reported to have suffered from a series of virus outbreaks. Three of these countries have established quarantine zones in different areas that are infected by the virus. The details regarding the virus outbreaks are still unknown, including where it came from and how it spread so fast like this.
Currently, all countries have started to prepare for the worst in case the virus was to be found within their borders.
Effects of the virus are currently unknown, the only detail that is known is the fact that those infected will fall into a coma.}
Honjou Megumi continued to report about the outbreak. However, the attention of the three has already shifted to something else.
"I still can't believe that all of this is going to happen soon," Yasumi said she's already forgotten about whatever she was arguing with Anna. The past days were enough for Haruhiro to tell the same story he did to Anna for Yasumi. He even said about the ability that she's gained which is Charm.
She can manipulate the way the other party is feeling towards her so that they would have a more favorable opinion of her. This allows her to act like they've known each other for so long, allowing Yasumi to order the other party around. However, she cannot force them to do something they normally wouldn't do.
She didn't believe it at the beginning but when she tried to use it on Anna and the latter followed her request to prepare her tea, she was flabbergasted. Yasumi then tried to order her to give up on Haruhiro but she can only be disappointed since not only did Anna woke up, she even rained curses at her for being shameless and the such.
Anna on the other hand also gained an ability through the use of Haruhiro's skill book. He gave it to her in order to protect herself. The skill book looked like a normal book with a black cover, it was thin for a book and only as large as two of Haruhiro's hands stuck together.
The skill book when activated produces blue light that enveloped Anna. When the light faded Anna's eyes changed from the original black to blue. She gained the ability, Creature Control. It allows her to control animals and do her bidding. Once her ability is also strengthened, she would be able to evolve her creatures.
However, right now she can only control five at most and evolve one creature. She hasn't tried it yet though since Haruhiro told her that he's going to search for the perfect pet for her first creature.
"It is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon. Mom already prepared things that we needed. Supplies and some personnel that we could trust, tomorrow will be the day everything is moved to the base camp. It's a good thing too that we moved faster than the others, demand for food and other necessities are rising while the supplies itself are all decreasing.
The news on any type of media has not yet reported what happened after the infected fell into a coma but the top management does. They know the infected started rising back up their feet and attacked people that weren't. The infected did what the typical zombies did. Ate their victim's flesh and made more of their kind.
Mom managed to get this information since her family has people on top of the government, the news made Mom really glad she believed in you Haru."
Haruhiro was impressed by the way Nanako handled all the affairs. She didn't ask for any of their help and did it all on her own by using her family connections properly. He's got to admit, having such a powerful family really does sound convenient. If he was the one who handled all these, he shook his head. Thinking about useless things is not going to help, he feels a bit guilty since he couldn't help so he's determined to protect them from both the undead and the living.
"How did it begin?"
Yasumi then asked out of nowhere. No, perhaps it's one of the most important questions that are needed to be answered which is why it's been weighing in their group's mind.
"How was the virus spread? Was it natural or artificial? If it was artificially created, then who created it? All these questions right now don't matter. What matters is that Ya-chan, Anna, and Nanako-san needs to be mentally prepared for the end of society. It will be a different world."
The girls' expression changed into that of a serious one, however, they did not notice how Haruhiro has a complex expression on his face. 'Who actually started all these and why?' Haruhiro found it hard to believe that a person would destroy the whole world but an image of a person appeared in his head.
Black robe, pale skin, black eyes, and silver hair.
The Undead King.
'Is it him?'
RIING RIING RIING
The ringing of the doorbell brought him back from his thoughts. "That's Mom! Let me go open the door." Saying that Anna then stormed away to open the door for her adoptive mother.
Left on their own, Yasumi quickly put her arms around Haruhiro's neck and kissed him. Haruhiro kissed her back as he hugged her petite waist. They kissed passionately, so passionately that they didn't notice how Anna came back with Nanako following behind her.
"Oh my. Haru-chan truly is living the life."
Nanako's voice broke them from their heated battle, Yasumi yelped and moved back to his side. She avoided her gaze with beet red face. Anna ignored this since she knows that there are more important things to talk about but she naturally will not forget about it. She sat back at his side as well and hugged his arm.
"Fufu. Then that only leaves me with the only space left, yes?"
Saying that Nanako sat right on Haruhiro's lap. The softness of her bottom quickly made his dragon soar, hitting her right on her soft buttocks. However, Nanako acted as if nothing happened and comfortably sat on his lap as she leaned her whole body to his.
"Hmm, Haru-chan, my body feels tired. Won't you hug me?"
Haruhiro stiffened. He looked to his left and his right, seeing that the two women agreed without any argument, he felt relieved. He hugged Nanako and feeling her soft body his already soaring dragon, soared further. Trying to act calm he said, "We can't actually talk about something important like this, can't we?"
"That's fine. Let's just stay like this for a while then."
The three then followed Nanako's request. They already knew why she acted like this and they're all alright with her being like this as well.
After all, Nanako is now one of Haruhiro's women.
