Chapter 14: Saeko's Feeling

At the Takagi estate. A random guard soldier was taking a look at the scenery in front of him behind the makeshift barricade wall to protect the Takagi estate.

"Hmmm." He sees three zombies wandering around a bit far from him.

He then raised his sniper rifle and aimed it at the first zombie right on its head.

"Target. Lock on."

*snipe*

The first zombie was down after the bullet pierced its skull.

"One down two to go." He mumbled.

*snipe* *snipe*

The remaining two zombies were also down after being snipped right on their heads.

"Phew... Target. Eliminated."

He released a breath at his perfect headshot to the three zombies. But he did not let his guard down. Watching his front sharply for any zombies like a hawk searching for its prey.

"Yo. Good job, random guard #1."

Another random guard soldier approached him from behind, making him turn his head to look behind, "How many zombies have approached here that you shot down since this morning?"

"Oh, you're here random guard #2. Not much. Including the three I just shot, it just forty-eight zombies coming from the front." Answered random guard #1 while turning his head to look in front of him again.

"Forty-eight is not much? How many zombies that you count as many?" Random guard #2 asked.

"Hmm. Probably hundred to thousands." Simply answered random guard #1 without looking at him.

His companion looked at him with a speechless expression, "If that many zombies appear, this place is pretty much doomed, ya know?"

"And that's why I answered not many zombies approaching." He shrugged, "How is the condition of the refugees inside?"

Random guard #2 sighed, hearing Random guard #1's question, "They're calmed down for now, but until when I dunno. We have a limited stock of food supplies and water. And if that runs out, I fear they're going to cause trouble."

"Not just that." Said random guard #3 who heard their conversation when he heard their conversation, "We also need more ammunition if we're stuck here. If our ammo runs out, we're totally doomed in this place."

"Random guard #3? Isn't your post are in the north side of the estate? What are you doing here?" Asked random guard #1.

Random guard #3 just shrugged his shoulder, "My shift is over. Here is some food for ammo for your stomach."

Looking at his companion, random guards #1 and #2 saw that he was carrying a few breads in plastic wrap in his arms. He then gives them some bread at two.

"Thanks, random guard #3. Melon bread huh? My favorite." Random guard #2 is taking one and tearing the plastic wrap then eating it.

"You sure love melon bread huh?" Commented random guard #1 while he also taking a bite of his own melon bread.

"Of course I like it. I'm a melon fruit fanatic, after all." Replied random guard #2 while chewing the bread inside his mouth.

Random guard #3 smiled wryly at his fellow guard before noticing a tiny dot up in the sky from afar.

"Hm? What's that?" He muttered and raised his binoculars, which were hung around his neck to his eyes to see what's that tiny dot in the sky.

As random guard #3 looked to the sky afar, his two fellow guards were talking about food. Not noticing his actions.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. You are obsessed with melon. No need to tell me again."

"Better obsessed with fruits than obsessed over junk food. It's not healthy."

"Hey! I'm not obsessed with junk food! I only ate pizza and burgers five times a week!"

"Isn't that already an obsession?"

"No, it isn't."

"Listen, junk food isn't healthy."

"I know it's not healthy, but I can't resist the taste!"

"You must take care of your body more so you don't get sick."

"But I can't cook. I only can order take-out."

"If you can't cook, you need to eat healthy fruits, like melon!"

"Why melon again?!"

"Listen well, young man. Carotenoids and chlorophylls are the main pigments of melon pulp and rind. Melon fruits also contain protein and sugars; the major antioxidants in melons include phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid, and carotenoids. Seeds contain vitamin E and ω-3 fatty acids."

"Huh? What the heck are you talking about now?"

Random guard #1 asked in confusion but his friend ignored his question.

"Additionally, melons used as vegetables have flavonoids, alkaloids, and bitter principles, which improve their benefits to human health. The method of irrigation and fertilizer supply is known to impact the nutritional quality of melons, as reported by Rolbiecki et al."

"Ooookay?"

"Therefore, it is important to understand the nutritional variation in cultivated lines. In the present study, the composition of mature fruits representing different botanical groups of melon, cultivated and wild types, was analyzed. Further, to understand their potential health benefits, we measured basic health-beneficial components using in vitro assays."

"Seriously, stop it."

"The current study focused on identifying healthy melons for consumption and varieties suitable for use in breeding to obtain more nutritious crops. To this end, we assessed the physical properties like total soluble solids, TSS, color, sugar contents, and health-promoting compounds which are ascorbic acid, carotenoids, polyphenols and other health-promoting activities like radical scavenging, NO induction, and angiotensin-converting enzyme, ACE inhibition in 30 melon accessions, which included locally available wild types, landraces, and some improved melon varieties. The information generated will help promote the use of locally available melons for health benefits for consumers and help breeders and other researchers use this germplasm for melon improvement."

"Stop it! You're being very creepy now!"

Random guard #2 ignored random guard #1 plea and continued to explain the study about melon fruit.

When random guard #2 about to make the random guard #1 becoming a melonism cult member like him, Random guard #3 suddenly shouted.

"Motherfucking dragon!!" Random guard #3 shrieked. Making random guard #2 stopped his preaching about melon and looked at him weirdly along with random guard #1.

"Huh? Your mother is fucking with a dragon?"

"Son of a b*tch! Not that! My mother is here with my father! And no way a dragon's p*nis will fit into any human woman's hole!" Random guard #3 cursed and yelled at them.

"Hey! It's not nice to refer someone's mother as a b*tch! Be nice!" Random guard #1 advises him.

"Yeah, it would make the woman's hole to teared up." Idly commented random guard #2, "Wait, isn't dragon an oviparous creature? There's no way the male one had a p*nis if that's the case."

"That's why it's impossible that- wait, a dragon! There's a dragon in the sky!"

"Huh? Isn't the setting of this show are zombie apocalypse? There's no way they add fantasy elements like a dragon into this franchise."

"... While I didn't understand what he was talking about. I somehow agreed with random guard #2."

"Grrrh! There's a dragon! A real big dragon with three pairs of wings flying in the sky!"

His two fellow guards looked at him with a blank stare and flat expression.

"What's with that look?! It's true! Believe me! Look at that black dot in the sky with your binoculars!"

Random guards #1 and #2 look at each other and then look upward at the said black dot in the sky.

Shrugging at his friend, random guard #2 then took his binoculars and raised it to his eyes to look at it. Thinking that it was probably a big bird or a jet. Then he looked at it with his binoculars in his eyes. And then he froze.

Random guard #2 was standing frozen for a few seconds.

"Hey bro, why are you quiet?" Asked random guard #1.

But his question was ignored by random guard #2 as his body started trembling.

"... D... "

"D?"

"Dragon! A real dragon is coming here!" Shrieked random guard #2.

"Eh? Seriously?! You're not joking right?!" Random guard #1 asked incredulously.

"Deploy JSDF! Deploy the Japanese Air Force! Deploy Godzilla! Deploy Ultraman! Deploy Chuck Norris!" Screamed random guard #2 in a panicked state.

"... What the hell... There is really a dragon flying..." Uttered random guard #1 in disbelief after looking at the dragon visage from his binoculars too, "Hey, why is that dragon carrying a plane?"

"Who cares! We must inform the others and Takagi-san that a real-life big dragon is coming toward here!" Yelled random guard #3 before running toward the Takagi estate.

~~~###~~~

Souichirou Takagi is a tall, muscular, and intimidating man with jet-black hair, fiery eyebrows, and fierce orange eyes that have the gaze of a predatory animal.

At first, he was skeptical about what the guard told him about a flying dragon in the sky. A fantasy creature like a dragon is impossible to exist in modern society. With the zombie apocalypse occupying his hands, he didn't believe it. That's until the guard who told him dragged him outside and pointed toward the sky and shoved a binocular to his eyes.

Annoyed by the guard's disrespect toward him, Souichirou doing what he was told and looking toward the sky with binoculars. His body went stiff.

"What in the god's name..." Murmured Souichirou at the impossible being to exist in the modern era.

"Sir! The dragon is fast approaching here!!" The guard beside him yelled out panickedly.

"Evacuate the refugees! Every guard! Bring out all of our firearms! We're going to fire it at that dragon!" He gives out an order after recovering from his stupefied state, "Take that dragon down!"

"Aye, sir! Everyone hear that!? Let's move out! Move! Move!"

Every personnel quickly obeyed his command. Not long after, every guard soldier armed themselves with military weapons. And pointed toward the dragon which approaching quickly.

"Ready..."

When the targeted dragon gets in shooting range, "Fire!" Shouted Souichirou to every armed guard personnel.

Many sounds of gunfire echoed from the front yard of Takagi Estate.

The bullets are shooting toward the dragon and the 'plane' it's holding.

While the rain of bullets didn't faze the dragon, the plane was on another matter since many of the bullets are effective if it leaving many holes in the cockpit area in the front.

"Use Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) and fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

The guads which hold the RPG with their shoulder are pressing the trigger.

Many RPGs then launches rockets equipped with an explosive warhead toward the hovering dragon near the Takagi Estate.

But before the warhead could arrive to the dragon and the plane, a seven layered pink flower petals made from light appeared in front of it. It takes the form of a seven layered bounded field in the shape of an iridescent flower with seven petals representing the seven layers of oxhide. Each flower petal layer has the defensive power of a fortress wall.

And so the warheads crashed again it and making a deafening explosion sounds and making the smoke of the explosive obstructing their view toward the dragon.

To the horror for them, when the smoke gone. It revealed that the black dragon are fine and healthy. There's no any wounds on its big body.

Right now, the dragon are hovering above Takagi Estate front yard.

"No way..." Muttered Souchirou gravely which shared by everyone there

At that moment, his phone buzzed excitedly in his pocket.

Without looking at it, he take out his phone and answering the call.

"Helo. Please make it brief, I'm occupied in an bizzare but scary situation right now." Souichirou answered with grave tone.

"..."

"Huh? Saya! Don't come to our estate! We're being attacked by an impossible being here!! I don't know if we will survive!"

"...!"

"Eh...? Stop firing at the dragon? How do you know there's dragon here? "

"..."

"WHAT!! You're and many other are inside the plane that being carried by that dragon?!"

"...!"

"The dragon are tame? And it's one of your companion's... Pet?"

"...?"

"Permission to landing you say...?"

"..."

"Are you sure the dragon won't attack?"

"...!"

"A-alright, got it!"

He end the communication and closed his phone then turned to everybody whose watching him while they still aiming their guns to the dragon.

Souichirou then looking above him to see the dragon. It's true that the dragon are just hovering over above them and just watching the people below it.

In fact, the dragon seemed annoyed that the plane it's carrying are full of hole because the bullets being fired from their firearms.

Souichirou was not sure if the dragon belongs to his daughter's acquaintance are not hostile.

Deciding to believe his daughter's word. Souichirou ordering his men to lower their military weapons and leave an area for the dragon and the plane its carrying to land to the ground.

The guard are sceptical about it but follows his order anyways and making place for it to land.

The dragon landed at the now empty area and put down the plane carefully.

When the plane was landed safely, the door of the plane opened and much to the surprise of Souichirou and his men surprise, an airstair suddenly materialized on it.

For a minute, there no one comes out from it, but then a light blue-haired pretty girl(?) Can be seen poking out her head from the door and looking around. When she saw Souchirou and his guard, she then pull her head back inside.

It's seems there is a commotion inside the plane.

Still wary about the dragon, Souichiro and few of his men approach the plane slowly to avoid being considered as hostile by the dragon.

After arrive in front of the airstair, which they still didn't understand how it suddenly materialized, Souichirou decided to shouted not very loud to the plane.

"Hey! Is it alright inside?"

There was a silence for a minute before a familiar pink-haired girl with twintail appeared from the door of the plane and walked down the airstair unsteadily with her hand covered her mouth and a pale face.

Seeing her daughter in such conditions, Souichirou running toward her on the stair panickly.

"Saya! Are you alright?!"

"Yes... *Urp*... I'm... Okay..."

Seeing her father worried expression, Saya tried to reassure her father, but with a weak tone, Souichirou was not convinced.

"The... First Bahamut... *Urp*... Flying Express... Isn't smooth... Flying experience..." Said Saya with a weak tone while suppressing urge to vomit, "Just... Let me... Down toward... The ground first..."

After seeing that her daugther only have motion sickness, Souichirou sighed in relief as he helped Saya walking down the stair.

After Saya arrived down. Someone, or rarther three person walked outside to the airstair from inside the plane.

"How can you get a motion sickness too like all the survivors group did?" Said a black-haired boy with deep blue almost purple eyes. He was shouldering a brown haired boy wearing green tracksuits alongside with the blue-haired girl from before.

"Seriously, Kazuma. I thought you were tougher than this." Said the blue-haired girl with dissapointed tone.

"I... *Urp*... Can't help... It." Said the boy named Kazuma weakly, "Never ride... A plane... Before... And this ride are- *urp*... The most... Bumpied one for... Me..."

"You should change into your Karna form before we depart from Shizuka's house."

"Yeah... I'm ashamed... For didn't think... Of that..."

"Honestly, I thought you're going to be fine when you 'heroically' tell your new girlfriend that it was fine when she and the other are scared of Bahamut."

"Shut up... Just take me down... Toward the ground... Please..."

The trio then went down from the airplane. Followed by an excited seven years old child while she exited the airplane.

After that, the other passengers also came out with a staggering step. Their face pale and most of them covered their mouth with their hands.

The last group who came down from the plane were a black-haired beauty wearing ponytail who's shouldering a long purple-haired girl who looked pale like the others and black-haired twintailed girl wearing gothic clothes. She also shouldering a long blonde haired adult with a big bust which in the same condition.

After the passengers touch the ground, they fellt relieved that they didn't need to stay at the airplane anymore. It seems they're a bit traumatized by the flying method of the plane.

The black haired boy wo carrying the brown haired boy named Kazuma went toward the girls who coming out last from the plane.

"Akeno, is everyone has come out from the plane?" He asked the ponytailed girl.

"Yes, we're the last one, Misogi-kun." Answered the girl which is named Akeno.

"Good then. I will erase the airplane since it's too big and filling the space left in this yard." Said the boy named Misogi

Souchirou and the guards was confused about what he said.

Erase the airplane?

But when the plane suddenly gone and dissapeared in front of their eyes, Souichirou's and his men's eyes going wide in surprise.

And before he could asked how it was gone, the boy named Misogi went to the twintailed girl wich wearing gothic dress.

"Kurumi, can you unsummon Bahamut? The people here seemed still wary about him."

"Okay darling~." Said the girl named Kurumi before she approached the big menacing eight winged dragon who watching them silently. She then raised her hand and the dragon lowered its head and being patted by her.

"Thank you for your help, Bahamut. You can go back now." Kurumi said with a smile. The dragon, which called Bahamut by her, raising its head after being patted and then roared before it body suddenly turned into many light particles and then disappear from there.

Souichirou and his men was terrified when Bahamut roared, thinking that it was going to attack them while ignoring Kurumi's words. But when the dragon dissappear with many light particles, they suddenly questioning their sanity about all of this.

"... I need a drink..." What was Souichirou uttered by himself while his guards men nod their head in agreement.

~~~###~~~

After all of the survivors group and Misogi's group getting down from the plane, Souichirou asked his daughter who exactly is her companion.

Saya told them that they will told his father and others inside the estate.

After entering the estate, a woman who has long, light purple hair that wears her hair down and has it much shorter in the front and pushed to either side of her face and purple eyes hugged Saya with relief when they entered the estate.

This woman is Yuriko Takagi. She is Shouichirou Takagi's wife and Saya's mother. She has a slender figure and dresses in a style which resembles the typical aristocratic attire which is a thin red dress, a white cloth wrapped around her arms and mid to lower body, and a silver necklace with a small charm on the front and lipstick.

After a brief conversation, Yuriko followed them to the living room to hear the explanation from her daughter and her companions.

And when they arrive at the living room, Misogi and the others introduced themselves to Saya's parent and vice versa.

After the introduction was over, Misogi started explaining the situation they're in, and that they're are otherworlder who have supernatural ability.

Each MCG members then showed a bit of their ability like Misogi summon his lances, Akeno body emitted electricity, Kurumi summon her time clone, Kazuma turned into his Karnazuma form, and Rimuru who created the brutal weapon wielded by berserker Heracles.

Suffice to say, Saya's parent and few of the guard was incredulous that a petite girl can hold such a weapon with ease and commented about it. Which make Rimuru annoyed and tell them that he's a boy not a girl.

"This Rimuru fellow are boy?!" Souichirou yelled.

"That's what you're most surprised about from their story!?" Saya tsukkomi'ed.

"Well, about they're from different world? I was surprised inwardly at first and not showing it on my expression. They have supernatural abilities? I already guessed it after Misogi Kumagawa erased that plane and Kurumi Tokisaki interact with the dragon and made it disappear into particle of light."

"And you're most surprised that Tempest is actually a boy, not a girl?" Saya asked while quirking her eyebrows.

"Of course I'm surprised! Who would have thought that he's more beautiful than your mother is a bo- w-wait dear, please don't pinch my side and where did you get that knife?!" Shrieked Saya's father after his comment on Rimuru which resulted in his wife to pinch his side and summoned a kitchen knife out of nowhere with unknown method.

After the questionimg game are done, Saya asked what they should do from now on.

"So, what are you five going to do now?" Saya straight out asked Misogi and his group.

"We probably would stick around here while making this place as our base

as we also will search for the source of the outbreak of the zombies." Misogi explained to them while glancing at the mission task at the MCG's screen.

"You already have destroyed two of that zombies factory when we going to on the way to Marikawa sensei's house. How much is left?" Takashi asked with a frown.

"Ninety-eight more..." Answered Misogi, "And its seem it not only in japan. But spread around the world." He ended his words with a sigh.

The other member of Multiverse Chat Group feels annoyed at that task.

"What is this zombies factory you speak of?" Saya's mother, Yuriko, asked them in confusion.

"It's basically the source of the zombies outbreak." Explained Rimuru, "It was giving birth to the zombies. But they also can infected other living people if they're bitten by them."

"Then, how are you going to search for them?" Souichirou asked with a pale face after heard that there's still ninety-eight of the source of the zombies, and it's all over the world.

"With this." Misogi then taking out an object from his inventory and showing it to them.

Everyone other than Misogi's group was staring confusedly at the object on Misogi's hand.

"A compass?" Asked an unsured Rei.

Misogi smiled wryly at their confused looks, "This is not an ordinary compass, you know?"

"What's so special about this compass?"

"This compass named 'Hunter Compass'." Answered Misogi, who's looking at them while they waited his explanation, "This can show the direction of the object ir things that we want to search. If the needle pointed to left side, then the object or the things we wants are in that direction."

"That's a convenient tool, were you get that?" Saya's father, Souichirou asked him.

Hearing his question, Misogi smiled mysteriously at them.

"Let's just say that being an Otherworlder who can jump to another world have its own perk."

Seeing that Misogi wouldn't explain further. Souichiro drop the subject.

Actually, Misogi bought the Hunter Compass from the MCG's shop when they eating breakfast at Shizuka's home. The compass price was 3000 points. And Misogi's points are 1500. That many is not enough to buy it. Akeno and Kurumi offer their own point, which each giving him 1000 points. So the three of them then buy the compass with each 1000 points. Making Misogi's have only 500 points left while Akeno and Kurumi left with 1000 points.

"Back to the zombie matter at hands. Only me, Rimuru and Kazuma who's will search the zombies factory around the world. Kurumi and Akeno are going stand by here to protect the base."

"Then how are you three going to go to search for them? I mean the transportation method." Saya asked them with unsure looks.

"Don't worry, we have it covered." Assured Kazuma to his new girlfriend. He then pointed to Rimuru with his thumb, "Rimuru here's had a air transportation vehicle with only can hold three person most while flying at mach 4."

"You mean Vimana, right?" Said Rimuru to Kazuma.

"Yeah. We're going to search and destroy them with how many we would find them for a full day long and coming back here via Misogi's teleportation." Simply explained Kazuma.

"When are you guys start searching?" Takashi asked. He couldn't imagine if he himself must search and destroy ninety-eight zombies factories left remaining with only a tuna fish that he use to bash a zombie in the head. He just a normal guy with stupidly strong tuna which he use like a bat to bat a zombie.

"Probably two days from now on." Misogi said while rubbing his chin, "We also need to take care the zombies around this area first."

"...Are you sure you can cleared of all zombies around here in two days?" Souichirou asked with skeptical and unsure tone.

"You should believe him. When we were surounded by many zombies coming in wave, the five of them just casually killed all the zombies horde like it was their daily thing." Saya explained to her father, "Heck! Even Kumagawa killed all the last wave by himself by splitting space and all zombies head separate from their neck!"

Saya's last sentence making her parent went wide eyed.

"And I have more skill than splitting space into two, you know." Misogi added with a mirth in his voice.

"... Yeah right, you walking cheat otherworlder." Saya sighed while massaging her head.

The discussion went for another hour before it finished and they exited the living room.

After they left the living room Akeno and Kurumi nudging Saeko, who's looking at Misogi who is in front of her.

"This is your chance." Kurumi whispered to Saeko

"Go ask him now." Akeno added with whispering to Saeko too.

Saeko turned her head to them with unsure expression, "Are you sure this is the right time?"

"Yes it is, you going to ask him in the future anyways right?" Answered Akeno with a smile.

However Saeko still unsure, "Isn't this going too shocking for him? I mean Marikaw- Shizuka-san confessed to him just this morning and he accepted her. Isn't that too rushed? I can wait for a few days."

"Nope. This is the perfect chance. If you delay it, he will be busy going around the world. I'm sure he wouldn't refuse your request. Saeko-san" Assured Shizuka who's arrived and heard their conversation.

Saeko made a thinking expression for a bit and nodded, "Okay, I will ask him with my request." And she walked toward Misogi.

"Misogi-kun."

"Hm? What is it Saeko?" Misogi turned to face her.

"Can I have a moment of your time?" Saeko nervously asked Misogi.

"Sure. Do you need my help with something?"

"Yes." Answered Saeko, "Actually... If you don't mind, can you escort me to my house? I'm worried about my family condition." She asked with a bit of hestitation.

"You want me to accompany you?"

"Yes, is that okay?"

"Sure, no problem. When do you want to go?"

"If it not trouble, can we go after I rest for a while?"

"Alright. I will wait with you then."

Misogi waited for Saeko who's resting her body while also talked with her and his girlfriends. They talked about their daily life in their own world.

Akeno talked about her duty as devil and myth of many pantheon in her world. Kurumi talked about her being chased by an evil organization who hunting her because she is a spirit. And Misogi who talked about how his own world supernatural thing works.

Shizuka and Saeko listening to their stories while also asked few question when they're curious or didn't understand the topic they talked.

After resting enough, Saeko feels herself better and asked Misogi to accompany her to her house right now.

Misogi and Saeko went outside of the Takagi's estate with Misogi's girlfriends followed them to see them out.

"Well, let's get going." Said Misogi as he started walk toward Saeko. And with a bold move, carrying her bridal style in his arm. Surprising the heck of Saeko.

"Umm, Misogi-kun? What are you doing?" Saeko asked Misogi with a bit blush on her beautiful face.

"Since I can fly, we will go to your house by flying."

"It's not that. Why you carry me... In this position."

"Well, if I carry you with piggyback ride. I can feel your breast pressing against my back and touch you buttock with my hands." Answered Misogi honestly, "Are you uncomfortable by this position?"

"No it isn't... But..." While blushing slightly, Saeko glanced at Misogi's three girlfriends, who giving her a teasing smile which didn't look jealous or show any of negative feeling toward her in their expression.

"If this is not a problem, let's go then." After he said that, Misogi started float in the air and ascending higher.

When Misogi are in the perfect altitude, he then fly away from the Takagi estate with a somewhat amazed Saeko in his arms.

~~~###~~~

One hour and a half later

"Is this the right direction?" Asked Misogi to Saeko while flying and bombarding any zombies below them with his Subspace Lances.

"Yes, just fly straight from here." Answered Saeko in Misogi's arms while she looking for direction of her house, "It shouldn't be hard to notice. My house is a Kendo dojo. It's have a wide courtyard with two koi ponds."

"I see it." Said Misogi as he flying toward the dojo.

When they arrived above it, Misogi and Saeko see that the courtyard was filled with zombies with many who's wearing a kendo hakama.

"Saeko... This..."

"Yes... They're all student of my father dojo and a few servant of my family..." Saeko bit her lip when replied Misogi's word.

"Then..." Misogi was about to say something but trailed off.

"Don't worry, Misogi-kun. I know this would happen. I already prepared if my parent are too becoming... Them..." Saeko said with accepting tone.

"But, Saeko, even if the possibility are low, your parent migh be still alive and survive." Misogi tried to comfort the trembling girl on his arms.

"Mmhmm..." Saeko shook her head, then pointed at two zombies whose wearing different attire than the rest of the zombies, "See those two zombies?"

Misogi looked at the direction of her pointed finger. He sees a female zombie with long violet hair and wearing a messed up and torn purple kimono. On her side was a man with different kendo attire than the other zombies. He is carrying a katana which he dragged down when walking unnaturally.

"That is... I see... They already..." Seeing those two, Misogi immediately knew that those two zombies were Saeko's parents.

Looking at the girl on his arms, Misogi sees that her words are true. Saeko are already accepted that her parents are gone.

"Misogi-kun... Can you kill all the zombies except both of them?"

"... Yes." Answered Misogi with a solemn tone.

Misogi then summoned many of his Subspace Lances and shooting it down toward the zombies in the dojo's courtyard. The spiraling blue Lances skewered the zombies head at point blank from above their head and making it explode in gore except for the zombies figure of formerly Saeko's parents.

When all the zombies except Saeko's parents were eliminated, Misogi descended down and put the girls he's carrying down to the ground.

"Can you make the sword I used yesterday?"

"Are you sure you want the one who do it?" Misogi asked Saeko.

"Yes, I'm prepared for it." Saeko answered with convictions in her voice.

"Alright."

Misogi created Sode no Shirayuki again and gave it to Saeko, who looked at the zombified figure of her parents who running toward her direction.

"Father... Mother... Thank you... And... Rest in peace..."

With a quick move, Saeko beheaded the two zombies when they're closing to her.

Because of Sode no Shirayuki is ice elemental Zanpakutou sword, the bodies and the heads of Saeko's zombified parents are encased in ice and break down a second later.

Saeko was silent as she stood there for a while as Misogi also silent while staring at the remaining ice shards of Saeko's parent while praying for both of them.

They stood there for a while even when the sky start to darken with dark cloud and rain starts pouring in the area. Washing over the two teenagers.

"Misogi-kun... Let's take shelter from this rain inside the house." Saeko said without looking at him.

"Yeah... Let's go." Replied Misogi with a silent nod.

Both of them then walk to Saeko's house door and opened it, and when they entered, Saeko stood in silence at the inside entrance of the house as Misogi entered.

As Misogi was about comforting the mourning girl, Saeko suddenly hugging him without a sound. Making Misogi a bit startled.

"... Can we... Stay like this for a while?" Saeko asked with trembling voice.

"Yes... As long as you needed it." Replied Misogi after recovered and embrace her trembling body. Letting Saeko to use his shoulder as her resting place for her head as she crying in silence.

They're standing there for a while, waiting Saeko to calmed down from her mourning over her parents.

An hour later, Saeko released Misogi from her embrace.

"How are you feeling?" Misogi asked her with concern in his tone.

"A bit better, thank you for your concern." Answered Saeko with a weak smile. Her eyes are a bit red after crying, "Sorry, Misogi-kun, for you to seeing me at the weakest time."

Misogi shook his head, "It's okay, anyone would be sad if their parents are gone from this world."

"You're right." Replied Saeko with a chuckle, "Everybody reaction would be like this if their love one are dead."

They stay in silence after that.

"So, what should we do now? Going back to the estate?" Misogi breaks the silence first.

"No. Not yet. I want to make two grave for my parents in the garden after the rain are gone."

"I can make the rain disappear with All Fiction right now." Misogi offered, "But if you need some time..."

Saeko widened her eyes for a second. She forgot that Misogi can erased anything with his power, "Yes please. After that... Can you help me to make the grave?"

"Of course, I can help you make it." Misogi answered her with a kind smile.

"Thank you, Misogi-kun."

Misogi heart went doki-doki after seeing Saeko's pure smile when as she thanked him.

~~~###~~~

After erasing the rain with All Fiction, Saeko are making the grave of her parents with Misogi help in the garden of her house under the Sakura tree. Saeko also put her parents photos on it.

Misogi on his part are admiring Saeko strong heart. He didn't know if his heart are strong enough if his parents were gone.

When Saeko clap her hands for praying at her parents, Misogi also prayed that they ascend to heaven.

"Misogi-kun. I love you." Saeko confess her feeling to the psychic out of the blue.

Misogi, who was praying silently beside was surprised at the sudden love confession which he received from Saeko. He turned his head quickly at her direction.

When he see her, Saeko was looking at Misogi with serious expression.

"... Are you serious?" Misogi was bewildered, when did he raised a flag with her?!

"Yes, I'm very serious." Replied the Swordmistress, "I fall in love with you, Misogi-kun."

"How?"

"I think it's love at first sight? I don't know. But I'm certain that this feeling I have toward you is love. The same feeling that Akeno-san, Kurumi-san, and Mari- Shizuka-sensei have for you."

"You know that Shizuka is my new girlfriend?"

"Yes. She told your two girlfriends and me when we're making sandwich in the kitchen." Answered Saeko with a slight smile, "She also told us how her confession went and that you accept her."

Misogi was staring at Saeko. Feeling speechless at the information.

"So, Misogi-kun, what's your answer?" Saeko asked. She's looking very calm on the surface, but feels nervous inside.

Misogi was silent. He was actually very happy inside but with a bit of conflicted feeling. Having just accept Shizuka's confession this morning and now he was being confessed by Saeko.

"... If Shizuka already told you that I accept her feeling, then is she also mentioned how I responded to her? Which is that I'm from different world and how our relationship going to be since we don't meet often. Only when I have time I will visit this world."

"Yes, she already told me."

"And you alright with that? We will have long distance relationship between world you know?"

"I don't mind about that, as long as you can visit this world to see Shizuka-san and me. It's enough."

Hearing her answer, Misogi close his eyes. He considering Saeko confession.

Seeing him closing his eyes and fell into silence, Saeko waited patiently what his answer to her confession would be.

Few seconds later, Misogi open his eyes. He looked at Saeko straight in the eyes.

Seeing Misogi stare at her making Saeko a bit nervous but she staring back at him undeterred.

Misogi raised his arms and put them on Saeko's waist making her heart beating. He slowly pulling Saeko into a hug as his face also slowly inching closer toward her.

Knowing what would happen next, Saeko closed her eyes followed by Misogi in anticipation as her arms also embracing him back

Slowly but surely, their lips connect. It's just a pure kiss, not the french one, yet they're savoring it.
