Finally resolving the matters with Takagi Saya and Takagi Yuriko, although everything went as he had expected, Sora secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That tsundere young lady occasionally made some unexpected moves. Sora had already prepared some coercive measures as a last resort, but he naturally hoped for a peaceful and smooth resolution.
When he walked out with the two women again, under the curious or ambiguous gazes of the other women, both Takagi Saya and Takagi Yuriko's faces were flushed with shyness, while Sora was filled with a sense of accomplishment!
"Rei, Saeko, how did things go?"
To prevent the two women from continuing to feel awkward, Sora was happy to play the good guy. Sitting in the main seat, he asked Miyamoto Rei and Busujima Saeko.
"The nearby zombies have been cleared, but there are still some survivors. I temporarily arranged them in Saya's family castle."
While serving the dishes with the swordswomen, Busujima Saeko replied.
"Survivors? From the Takagi family?"
Frowning, Sora continued to ask.
"No, just some survivors previously taken in by the Takagi family."
Shaking her head, this time it was Miyamoto Rei who answered.
"No one from the Takagi family?"
Feeling a bit interested, Sora cast a questioning glance at Takagi Yuriko.
"When the zombies broke through the gate, the Takagi family fled with their core members and armed forces through the back door. Those survivors were abandoned to attract the zombies. I managed to escape from them during the chaos."
With her blush still lingering, Takagi Yuriko explained to everyone.
"Heh… although it's not very righteous, they are quite capable!"
A glint of interest flashed in Sora's eyes; he genuinely admired them.
For a large family to stand firm, what do they rely on? Kindness, righteousness, unity, and friendship? No, no, no, they rely on ruthlessness!
Clearly, the Takagi family had managed to stand firm in Tokonosu City for so many years precisely because of this. When it came to their own safety and interests, everything else was a tool to be used and discarded.
"Well, since they abandoned this place, from now on, this castle belongs to us!"
With a smile, Sora had originally planned to pick up Takagi Yuriko and find a few more targets before returning to the villa. However, this castle was much more impressive than his small villa. Plus, with more and more women around, the villa was becoming a bit cramped. So, Sora decided to make this place the new base.
As for whether the Takagi family would come to reclaim it, Sora couldn't be bothered to think about that. The place was his now, and there was no way he would return it.
Besides, whether the Takagi family could even return was still up in the air!
Hearing Sora's words, the women all showed happy expressions. They had never lived in such a grand house before. Although killing monsters was fun, running around outside all day was still exhausting. The girls also hoped for a fixed base, which would make things much more convenient in the future.
As for Takagi Saya and Takagi Yuriko, they naturally had no objections. They were already familiar with this place. Although there were some unpleasant memories, now that they were with Sora, those didn't matter anymore.
"Rei, later, send some food and water to those survivors and tell them to leave here first thing tomorrow morning. If anyone causes trouble, don't be polite with them!"
Since they had decided to stay here, Sora naturally considered himself the master of the place. He had already done his part by providing food and water to the survivors. He didn't want anyone else in his castle besides his women.
As for whether they lived or died afterward, he didn't have the leisure to care.
Nodding, the women naturally had no objections to Sora's arrangements.
After finishing the serious matters, everyone happily had dinner together
Since they had decided to make this place the new base, many areas needed to be rearranged. For example, cleaning up the stains left by the zombies, repairing the broken gates, and so on.
Of course, the most important thing was to replace the beds in the rooms with a super large one!
Ignoring the surprised gazes of the survivors, Sora and the women used their abilities to rearrange the Takagi family castle, completely transforming it into Sora's private kingdom.
By the time everything was done, it was almost midnight. Both Sora and the girls were exhausted and fell asleep as soon as they hit the beds.
This night was probably the only night Sora behaved himself and didn't do anything bad…
Late at night, in a certain district of Tokonosu City.
Since the apocalypse began, the phrase "late at night, all is quiet" no longer seemed appropriate. Whether it was day or night, these zombie monsters roamed the streets endlessly.
Moreover, with fewer daytime noises at night, the zombies' super hearing could be fully utilized. Any slightly loud movement from surviving humans would immediately be detected by them.
However, at this moment, a group of people ignored the presence of the zombies, swiftly moving through the streets.
This was a group of stunningly beautiful women dressed in various uniforms. Any one of them would drive countless men crazy, let alone such a large group!
The women moved as fast as lightning, their bodies faintly glowing with purple electricity. Their journey was accompanied by a loud commotion, attracting the attention of countless nearby monsters.
"Sister Yumeri, there are so many monsters ahead!"
While running at high speed, a maid-dressed girl said to another seductively dressed woman beside her.
"Tch, such annoying creatures, let's just wipe them all out! We're in a hurry, no need to care about those energy beads."
Frowning slightly, the woman known as Yumeri clearly showed some displeasure, her face cold as she looked at the horde of undead monsters approaching.
"Hehehe, Sister Yumeri is really impatient. Our master just sent a message for us to move, and you've already woken everyone up in the middle of the night to set off," said the maid girl with a teasing smile, her eyes filled with mischief.
Though she was now dressed in a cute, pure white maid outfit, no one could have imagined that just a few years ago, she was a genuine princess of a kingdom!
"Hmph, little brat, who was it that kept asking during the day when our master would return? And who was the first to start packing as soon as we received the master's message?" Yumeri retorted, rolling her eyes at the girl.
Blushing slightly, the maid girl couldn't argue back, thinking to herself that she just wanted to see that big bad master of hers sooner.
"Alright, everyone, let's get moving. It won't be long before we see our big bad master!" Yumeri shook her head helplessly, fully aware of the girl's thoughts. She didn't tease her further and instead activated her ability, sending a pillar of lightning to strike the undead ahead.
Sticking out her tongue, the maid girl followed closely behind.
The Thunder Maidens behind them all lit up with excitement, bursts of purple lightning erupting from their bodies, illuminating the dark land. Countless bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, turning both the undead monsters and the surrounding buildings into dust, scattering them into the void…
