( Yuuki's POV )
For our first mission to rescue some policemen missing in action, it took us to a mall in the city and it is very likely that a group of survivors will also be there so we take a truck with us.
I was driving Rika's Jeep that I had modified, Eu was sitting on my lap while Haruhime was riding shotgun and in the back were Tsukiumi, Emilia, Saeko, and Kohta, Stella was piloting the wanzer that she had basically taken over as her own, and in the evacuation truck were Mamako, Saya-shi, and Miyabi, the streets were pretty quiet but I knew zombies and not so friendly groups of survivors were out there.
The closer we got to the Mall the more zombies we could see, Before reaching our destination we stopped near a random store where a group of zombies was banging on the doors, minutes away from forcing their entry.
Yuuki: ok, who wants to take care of these?
Emily: I'll go!
Without hesitation, Emilia jump out of the hatch on the roof of the Jeep and some of the zombies turned around when they heard her landing, Emilia unsheathed a pair of kodachi swords and she activated her kagune, hers was the Ukaku type, a pair of green bat wings that had six hooks at their tips, She took a deep breath and her body was covered in lightning, she had recently become a complete Sekirei and gained the ability to control lightning.
Emilia got into position and the moment the zombies moved Emilia disappeared, at great speed, she decapitated all the zombies and before their heads fell to the ground we heard glass breaking, I got out of the Jeep and entered the store to see Emilia lying on the floor surrounded by broken glass.
Yuuki: I think you need to learn how to brake.
being a Sekirei and with tough skin thanks to the RC cells that the kagune produces she was unharmed but still she glared at me angrily, I opened a refrigerator that was next to me and I took two cans of iced coffee, I gave one to Emilia while I helped her get up and then I patted her head and told her that she did a good job.
???: who are you?
behind the counter appeared a woman with short black hair wearing a police uniform, Probably one of our targets but, one can't assume anything during the apocalypse.
Yuuki: Don't worry, we don't mean you any harm, we are on a mission from Police Chief Miyamoto to find a couple of policemen, eh, Emilia, what were their names?
Emilia: Matsushima and Nakaoka, I think.
Yuuki: yeah them, are you one of them?
Matsushima: yes, I'm Matsushima Minami, but you're just kids why would someone send you to find us?
Yuuki: Forget about that for now, that will save us time, where is your partner? Are you the only one hiding here?
The police officer stared at me for a few seconds and she kept talking when she saw how serious I was.
Matsushima: my partner is sheltered inside the Mall with a group of survivors, I went out to look for transport to evacuate everyone but I ran into a group of those things-
Yuuki: zombies.
Matsushima: ...zombies, and I hide here, there was no one else here.
Yuuki: Well, come with us, we have a big truck to evacuate everyone in the Mall.
I took some bags of potato chips and we left the store, when Matsushima left the store she was surprised and fell back when she saw the wanzer, I told her that this was an experimental weapon from the MBI and she just nodded before getting up and joining us in the Jeep, on the way Eu opened a bag of chips to eat and occasionally feed me some and Haruhime stared at Eu all the way.
//////////
Arriving at the Mall, Matsushima called her partner to open the door and from outside we heard people moving things from the doors and when they opened a woman in a police uniform came out to hug Matsushima, she was his partner Nakaoka Asami.
We entered and saw the small group of survivors, some of them looked at us with hope and when I told them that we were there to rescue them they were relieved, Taking advantage of the fact that we were in a Mall, I told the survivors that they will load some supplies on the truck before we leave.
While they were busy with that I climbed onto the wanzer head and opened the cockpit, Stella looked up and she smiled at me.
Stella: hey Yuuki, don't worry I'm not tired, I can still go on.
Yuuki: I'm sure you can but I need to check some things.
Stella made room for me and I got into the wanzer, the cockpit wasn't very spacious so Stella was pressing her breasts against my back while I checked the wanzer's systems.
The wanzer was powered by a Mako reactor that I had created, basically a miniature version of the reactor of Kouten that could create perpetual energy, the only problem was that the energy production sometimes affected the internal mechanisms of the wanzer when it was used for long periods of time, but it seems that the trip to the Mall was not a problem.
Stella: Yuuki, can I ask you a question?
Yuuki: of course, shoot.
Stella rested her head on my shoulder and she wrapped her hands around my waist.
Stella: do you find me attractive?
Yuuki: oh extremely attractive.
Stella: If I asked you to forget about the others and be only mine, what would you say?
Yuuki: I'm sorry, I don't think there is anyone who can convince me of that.
Stella: yeah That's what I thought, you know that answer makes me happy and upset at the same time, I guess I'll feel better if you give me this wanzer.
Yuuki: hey you know how long it took me to build this?
Stella: don't you give your Sekireis everything they want?
Yuuki: are you one of my Sekireis?
Stella: One kiss is all it takes to seal the deal, isn't it?
Stella turned my head so that I was looking straight into her eyes, She looked at me seductively and our lips slowly got closer but just before we kissed I hugged Stella and teleported us both.
