As quietly as possible I open my door and get out to go talk with the others. My girls are all inside the RV ready to go already, and it seems they dragged Miku inside as well so that's good.
I find Kouta in his Hummer as well. After a quick talk with him about the other 2 joining him. It seems he placed some sleeping mats in the backseat, so that's nice and he says they can use it after I gave him his own 9mm..I was going to anyways, but forgot til now so hey win-win.
I go back and open the door for Kato, so he doesn't have to move Alice too much. I then lead him to one of the Hummer's backseat doors... And man are sleeping kids cute she looks like a squirrel or something I don't know. Whatever man she's a cute kid. Kind of makes me wonder about what my kids will look like....
After everyone is all settled in I join the girls in the RV, and away we go. It's a relatively easy ride to the side of the river. I mean zombies can't really do anything to us inside the RV and it's out front, with the Hummer following behind so yeah easy ride.
We head across the river we do have to open the roof hatch as there are a lot of us so air would be a problem with sealing the inside so no water gets in the snorkel only works for the engine.
The inside the RV has some latches to pull the door etc tightly to air seal them. I mean if it was always airtight we would have problems just being inside for more than a minute.
Now that I think about it that makes sense why in the OG the top was open and they didn't have water filling up the floor.... hum.. Yeah that makes sense, cool. We get to the other side and I just climb up to the roof to check.
I don't know why they thought getting out to check was a better idea... I mean so what if its packed they would be safer in the Hummer... Its a military one they are tough as fuck, and can take shots from smaller caliber guns... Like why get out??
I see that the coast is clear for the most part as I can see if zombies heads if they were there, well at least if they were nearby, but its more than enough so... Once I'm back inside we drive up. Oh and Saeko is driving because well... You know its SUPER gory so yeah her and Shizuka always fight over who gets to drive hehe.
It seems Shizuka only hates shooting cause it makes her tit hurt.... And yeah I can see that.... We do stop up top and I radio the Hummer to see if they want to swap to another vehicle or if they are fine in there.
And that we should be arriving at a stopping place soon. It seems they are alright with staying as is for now which is great.
Saya leads us to the front main road to her place so we don't run into wires. That's something else I always thought was really dumb in the OG... I mean why wouldn't you take the main road instead of back ways?
{Its a friendly place they were going to not some enemy's so why?} We can see a small ish zombie horde in our way I'm about to go to the door when from the front I hear.
Saeko:"Clay can you let the rest of us take care of this I know you 'need' to kill a lot, but we need to fight as well so we stay sharp."
Clay: *small sigh* "Yes dear. I understand, but I will jump in if I think its needed."
Wives:"Okay dear/hubby."
Saeko parks us far enough away , but close enough so the horde heard us but only about half ish seem to be coming the rest are still near where they were. Rei radioed the others to let them know what we are doing.
I swear I could FEEL Kouta having a massive evil grin *shutters*. Really need to work on him... Well we should get that chance soon as I remember in the OG they stayed at the manor for a week, or 2.
Plus it will give me a chance to loot the whole area clean. Oh... I forgot to clean out near Rika's of everything.... *sigh* meh there will be more later.
Moving on.... The girls start killing with Miku, and Kouta doing the same as well I look back the Hummer.... I shouldn't have... Ignorance is bliss.... *Shutter*
I see Kouta just shy of cackling like a mad man with a look of pure, ahem, glee as he fires shot after shot.... Is that what I look like when I laugh like some 'b-movie' villain??? {Must suppress memory}
It takes a good 2 ish hours to finish them all off with me taking care of the other half of the horde. I did get a lvl so that's nice. Also my 'Mage' skill went up a rank finally Rank-G, Nice! So my spells have a bit more reach and take 1 less MP to cast, so all in all a really nice bonus.
We load back up, and head back on the way. I do quickly sell the bodies for some quick points. I got a sweet 150K for all of them, the price seems to have gone up a bit. NOICE! We arrive at the barricade shortly after.
U.Male{Unknown}:"Halt! If you seek shelter you will find it, but you must allow us to search you for infected, and hand over any guns you have."
Saya: *Opens Door* "Clear the way. How are my parents are they Okay?"
U.Male:"Miss Saya your safe! That's great *turns to yells at other men* Quickly move the barricade!*Turns back* Miss Saya your parents are fine. Mrs.Takagi is out on patrol, and Mr. Takagi is inside the manor grounds."
With a nod she returns to the RV, and we drive inside the manor gates. Oh boy I hope this goes well, we talked about what we would do here before hand, but I am still worried about it. Well kind of... Saya is a mix of terror, and relief...
We park off to the side by the garage, and get out. Man I feel like a zoo animal everyone is staring at us, and it makes sense but it still isn't something I like. Saya leads the way to the front doors....
Weird... The guy said her dad was here why hasn't he come out? We enter and keep going past other doors, until we stop outside of one. I guess this is where he normally is or something?
Saya only stops for a moment then opens the door. Inside seems to be an office of some kind well.... I thought it would be a armory or something in the OG the dude was only shown in a dojo so I assumed he'd be in a similar place or something...
Saya:"Hello daddy when will mommy be getting back from her patrol?"
Souichiro:"Saya you should know better than to barge in without knocking. It's good to see you are safe, your mother should be returning soon as I had someone radio her to inform her of your arrival."
Saya:"I see then I will wait for her at the front door."
Souichiro:"Before you go tell me who the ones with you are, as I should express my gratitude for them bringing you here safely."
Saya:"They are a group from school and that we met on the way here. If you want to know more ask them yourself another time, as well will be wait for mommy."
Before he can say anything else she turns and leaves with us following her.... Yeah... We are going to have a talk about the daddy, and mommy thing I forgot that's how she calls them and that shits just weird I mean a little kid sure that's normal, but a 17yr old that's just weird... Even Papa is better... Or Mama.. Not mommy.
We wait at the door for about 10 ish mins before they are thrown open with Yuriko bursting inside. She sprints over to hug Saya, with Saya running to her. Its a touching moment really. After they calm down a bit they start talking then Yuriko walks over to us with Saya.
Yuriko:"Thank you from bringing my daughter home safe I have been going out on patrols trying to find away across a bridge, but all of them are blocked. I want to ask how you managed to get through them, but it's not important anymore. Truly thank you."
Clay:"Haha. It's no trouble I promised Saya I'd bring her here, and so here we are. I'm Clayton Akana by the way it's nice to finally meet you Yuriko."
Yuriko: *surprised* "Oh? Your the Clay-Kun Saya has told us about? its nice to put a face to the name."
Saya:"Mommy I told you Clay doesn't like honorifics. And I've gotten used to not using them as well."
Yuriko:"Oh? Is that so? "*searching look* "I think you and I need to have a talk my daughter."
Saya gives a "Un" and after a bit more small talk they walk farther inside the manor with Me, Saeko, and Kyoko going back to the RV. As the others stayed with the RV. I mean my wives know the OG manga. and they know the RV a lot safer than here, so it's not a surprise they would stay in it.
Back at the group I can see Kouta talking with the mechanic. I'm sure its to use the workshop like in the OG. I also see the girls placing stuff on a folding table for what looks like breakfast as we kind of skipped it, well it's still early. I check and yup it's early its only 6am.
I see Alice up and about playing with Shizuka. I don't see Kato but he won't be too far in all likelihood. I do see Rika with a folding chair on top of the RV's roof she looks to be keeping watch. Good that should keep retards from starting shit about "Your kids" bullshit.
I get the world just "Ended" 2 days ago but still like really? Your going to yell and argue with someone who has a gun, and obviously has used it to get here about being a kid? Real smart I'm telling you.....{NOT!!}
We talk a bit while we eat about everyone else's plans. Kato says he would like to stay with us... I mean WE have a buff dude that uses REAL magic someone would have to be a moron to want to leave. {I'm just saying}
Kouta is more than happy to stay as well. I'm 100% its cause of all the guns, and he knows we aren't pieces of shit {Or bullies at least} lets be honest. And Miku is well yeah NO surprises there, she wants to stay.
Saya doesn't join us as we radioed to ask her. Of course everyone has a small radio..... I forgot about Kato, and Alice... I'll fix that after we finish eating.
~~Next Day~~
I got both Kato, and Alice some gear and a hand radio. Saya didn't join us in the RV, as she let us know she would be sleeping with her mother last night.
I also had a man to man talk with Kouta about the gun stuff... He had no idea it was that bad. I told him I'd help him try to control it better...
Dude's a good guy I'm SO going to trying to help him hookup with the cop girl or someone else if it happens I'll be the BEST wing-man.
I did set up a nice tent so Kato, and Alice could have more room its set up in between the 2 vehicles really close. I also cast 'Alarm' around our area so it will wake up me, and those in the bedroom if someone got within 5 feet of the tent. I'm not worried about the RV, or Hummer they have doors and locks the tents just some cloth.
We had a "Nice" night and morning hehe... We tried to keep it down.. We didn't really have too though as I made sure the suspension was top notch, and the room has that sound absorption stuff on all the walls.
And only Miku isn't with us. She has the table that folds to a bed, but it has GREAT cushions I mean Tempur-Pedic kind good. And its really cause we haven't talked much really....
With selling the stuff from Tipsy I got another 1.2B as I had him only get semi-packed food {Meat, packaged veggies that stuff anything NOT left in the open stuff that will spoil if left or looses power but should last longer then a pile of oranges sitting on a display.}
Me, Saeko, and Rika are now in another office isk room... Man this place is huge. We are sitting on a couch across from Yuriko, and Saya with Souichiro off to the side a bit.... Hehe someones in the dog house HA that's what you get.
Yuriko:"It seems I owe you a lot more than I thought Clay-Kun~".*playfully serious look*
Clay:*Shutters* "Please don't mention it. It was my pleasure to help Saya."
Yuriko:"Oh? I am sure it was".*grins*
Clay:(WTF did they talk about last night!!??)*shutters*
Saya:"Mommy stop we will talk about it more later. Right now we have more important things to discuss."
Souichiro:"And what would that be Saya? As you have only told us it was important, but nothing else."
Saya:*looks to Clay*--*Clay nods*--*turns to face Souichiro* "We need to discuss leaving the manor."
Souichiro:"Agreed. But why do you think so?"
Saya:"Because the manor is nothing more than a death trap, and a house of cards. It is surrounded by building and houses making visibly very pour. It has walls but the gate is extremely weak a small horde could easily break it down, or simply pile over the walls as they are not that high. Lastly it has no nearby water sources yes there is the river but it is a good distance, and not a clean drinking source."
Yuriko:"It seems you have given this a lot of thought."
Saya:"Not just me, but the others as well."
Souichiro:"Good. As it seems you understand I will tell you that we plan to leave and take those useful, and helpful with us. We will head to secure both the water treatment plant, and the power plant's nearby."
Clay:"Sorry, but that's a stupid idea yes power, and water are important but both of those are bad places as one has a military base near it, and the other has nothing else nearby."
Clay:"Instead of going to them a better place would be heading the small private airfield just outside of town that is next to a forest, and with a mountain nearby that has a freshwater spring, and hot spring on it as a tourist attraction."
Clay:"The other sides are wide open plains. This makes it a very easily defensible place, with good resources close by the forest for wood, and animals if they are safe to eat, and the mountain for stone, and water."
Clay:"We can simply build a high, thick wall around it. It's also a distance away from any town so it should have very few zombies. For power we can scavenge plenty of solar powered generators, and use gas ones in the meantime."
