New Future

Everything was ready, and everyone had cleaned up the dam from those "things." Frankly, it was easier to clean up the dam than they had thought since what they needed to do was to throw away those "things" to the river, and the river would lead those "things" to the sea, then the sea would turn those "things" into the feed for a fish. 

As for whether the fish would be in trouble or not, they didn't have to be worried since compared to the chemical waste and other poisonous things that were thrown by a human for the past centuries, those "things" were nothing. 

Don't underestimate the sea! 

Still, their decision to move to the dam was undoubtedly a great choice, especially because it had many living spaces. Moreover, as the dam was also used for tourism, there was also a hotel nearby, which provided great comfort. 

If there was a problem, there was a lack of professional workers, but there were still people who were living in this city, and as long as they gathered them, they were confident that they could revive Tokonosu City and become the first city, who returned to recover from the disaster, especially when they were led by Isao. 

Still, their leader, Isao, was checking the dam to see whether there was something wrong or not together with Shizuka, his secretary, so as his followers, they shouldn't bother him and quietly worked on the side, did another scout as the dam was huge! 

Nevertheless, after Shizuka rested by sleeping soundly, Isao wrote his plan in the most luxurious room in the nearby hotel. He was ready to take over many factories in this city, especially food and pharmaceutical factories. At the same time, he should get more weapons, stealing them from the military base nearby. 

"Yokosuka city..." 

Isao planned to go to this city since there was a United States military base there. 

Moreover, like the dam, as it was a military base, it was usually built under the premise of being able to defend against the EMP attack. 

Still, once again, the problems of people had always given him a headache. 

"What's wrong?" 

Shizuka, who was sleepy, stood up with her wobbly legs and hugged Isao from behind, watching him curiously. 

"No, I am just thinking that we lack people." 

Yet, even if he tried to be serious, he couldn't, especially when Shizuka was all naked, showing her gigantic breasts and beautiful pink nipples. 

"Oh? Then, shouldn't we just make one?" Shizuka asked innocently. 

"....." Isao blinked his eyes at this silly woman, pulling her into his embrace speechlessly, causing her to scream like a little girl, and said, "That's not the kind of person that I mean, but you don't mind getting pregnant?" 

"I-I don't mind..." Shizuka nodded shyly as she didn't mind getting pregnant with his children. Still, she was unable to forget how incredible the feeling of being held by him was. When he hugged her, she clung to him tightly and even rubbed her beautiful face against his chin happily. "But are you ready to become a papa?" 

"Of course, I am ready." Isao had the experience of being a papa, so it didn't matter to him, even if he had so many children. "Moreover, with all of those "things," our population has decreased, so we have to work hard! Sensei, let's do our best!" 

"Ah, I am still exhausted! Wa-Wait a moment! Oh~!" 

At this moment, Shizuka understood why many were crazy about him.

As they were working hard, Isao remembered to tell Yuriko that everyone could move to the dam, and with that, Yuriko didn't hesitate to move everyone to the dam. 

If someone didn't wish to move, then that was it. 

Yuriko didn't force anyone, but then, before she left, she visited her husband's grave. 

"Dear, with Isao, I will do my best to recover this country." 

While many thought that she wasn't a good wife, especially when she had fallen to Isao after the death of her husband, after she tried to commit suicide, and stopped by Isao, while she knew that she had wronged Souichiro, she had decided to give her everything to Isao. 

She knew that the age difference between them was huge, and she could even become her mother. In the future, she would get old and become less attractive, so she knew that there shouldn't be a moment of hesitation, and she had grasped him at this moment. Still, somehow, she could imagine that Isao wouldn't get bored of her no matter what and held her until death separated them. 

When Yuriko thought of such a future, she felt excited instead of sorry, so she knew that at that moment, she had to apologize to Souichiro since, from now on, she would become Isao's. 

However, even so, she would inherit Souichiro's dream to revive this country again. 

Still, she knew that she wouldn't visit this place for a while, especially with many of those "things" and a possible living child in her belly, so she talked about many things, and hopefully, her dead husband heard it since, while it was subtle and he never told her, he might seem to have a strange fetish. 

Nevertheless, after saying all of that, Yuriko walked toward the group of buses and many people who had decided to follow them. Naturally, there were some who didn't want to follow since Isao didn't use his ability to control all of them. He only used his ability to control those men under Souichiro so they didn't have bad thoughts, but for others? 

Unless they decide to join and live in the dam, then Isao wouldn't do much. 

Naturally, those who didn't want to move were afraid since they knew that they had to face those "things," but Yuriko ignored them and let them live at the estate if they wished to. 

Manpower was important, but evil people weren't necessary. 

An evil person is like a poison, and just one of them can cause destruction to many. 

Moreover, those people who didn't wish to join were only the minority, so Yuriko didn't care about them and let them live as they pleased. 

Still, as expected, the protagonist never ceases to amaze them. 

"How could you leave all of them? We have worked hard together! We should bring everyone up!" 

As expected of the protagonist, even though Takashi was frightened at first, he was able to complete the mission of bringing all the food. 

Yuriko was surprised, but she didn't mind and accepted all the food brought by Takashi, Hirano, and Takezo, leaving them with practically nothing. 

Moreover, the three couldn't ask for a return since Yuriko said, "It's all for everyone. Are you so selfish that you are going to hog all the food by yourselves?" 

When those words fell, the three could only obediently give their everything. 

However, this time, Takashi saw a chance, and he couldn't allow everyone to leave some of the people. He felt that they should try to persuade all of them, and under his lead, those who wanted to stay also became even more stubborn and looked at Yuriko and her group with provocative expressions. 

However, Yuriko ignored everyone and said, "Let's leave. The faster we go, the better." 

Rei, Kiriko, Saeko, Kyoko, Miku, Saya, Naomi, and all the others nodded obliquely, entered the bus, and then left directly, leaving those who wanted to stay there without looking back. 

Watching all of this, everyone was stunned. 

"Wa-Wait! Don't leave us behind!" 

"We beg you, stop!" 

"No! Please don't leave!" 

All of them were in despair when they were really left behind by everyone. 

"It-It's all your fault!" 

"Why did you say that?!" 

"What's wrong with you?!" 

Frankly, if Yuriko had been kind enough and also promised to give them a stable, more prominent position and more food, they would have agreed to move to the dam.

Still, Yuriko couldn't care about their thoughts and just left them. 

Nevertheless, it was impossible for those people to admit their mistakes, so they all blamed Takashi, who led everyone to protest Yuriko. 

"Wh-What...?!" 

Takashi was stunned when everyone blamed him, but as a protagonist, this was his trial, and he had to face it to become a real protagonist. 

However, Takashi's trial had nothing to do with Yuriko and her group. Instead, all of them were worried and excited, thinking about their future since they weren't sure about living on the dam. 

If there is a video call, then that would be great since they could see the scenery of the dam first before they move. 

Unfortunately, with the current cellphone technology and the situation after the EMP attack, it was impossible to do so, especially when they could only use a walkie-talkie to communicate with each other. 

However, all of their doubts about living in the dam disappeared, especially when they saw Isao and the group of those who came waving their hands excitedly toward everyone. 

This was their new beginning, they thought, and they all anticipated it, but—

"Where is Marikawa-sensei?" Rei asked curiously. 

With a helpless smile, Isao said while gesturing for them to move inside, "She is working too hard, so she is resting now. Anyway, come in." 

"Yes." 

Everyone was happy with their new life, but Kiriko sighed, thinking that this boy was as bad as ever~!
