Yo so I am thinking of trying a "new ish" format... This is the Newer format, it does take longer, but I feel like it tells the story better. And gives more details about conversions, as that's all the newer format is really. If nothing else I plan to start using the newer format from now on.....Welp that's all (^.^)
===============================================
After a VERY wild night I once again am able to clench victory... Man this is getting harder, and harder maybe I should stop adding to my harem..... Nah screw that THE HAREM MUST BE FED!.. Haha!!!
After a shall we say "interesting" morning, with Saeko sneaking under the table when no one was looking, and "doing somethings" it only stayed hidden until I let out a groan.
But was still GREAT, she is SO getting it later hehe. Afterwards everyone went to do things, with me selling stuff from Tipsy for a nice 741M. I have Tipsy go collect some parts and materials for me real quick.
As I don't want to use the stuff I already have too much. All of that is for emergencies, and the next world we go to. At least for the most part.
Rika sticks with me while I start making the new Buses frame. As she was really curious to see how I would make it.
~Day time skip~
I ended up using a mix of Carbon Steel, Tungsten, and a tiny bit of Fel Iron {World of Warcraft} mixed in for the inner core, and Stainless Steel wrapping it.
It was mostly Steel really, but with a little extra so it would be a lot stronger. the Fel Iron only cost me 400M as I only bought 1 bar of it...
I wanted to use something better, and stronger but was stopped by Sage as Fel Iron was the best I could actually forge with right now.
I had to set up some basic plywood walls so I had more space to work with, and yeah thinking I would just do it all under a tarp was a dumb idea.
I was able to get the whole chassis frame, with axles, and roll cage. It makes things a lot faster when you are stronger than a normal person.....
And you know, can have fire come out your hands, or summon a floating baseball sized ball of fire....
It still needed tires, walls, and everything inside but the frame is done. It really help having Rika there, as she called out problem spots I missed.
I also got the truck "box" made well it was easy really just a metal box , then just pop the stuff in and welded/bolted it down. Only attaching it took a bit with getting the door to work and cutting out room for it from the front cabin.
Kouta was over then moon when I called him over to see it. Both Kato, and Alice slept inside the Hummer that I pulled out behind the wood walls.
The others kept any other people away, well it was mostly Saya keeping them away but still it was really helpful.
Yuriko by to have lunch with Saya so she ended up joining us for lunch, and it was kind of nice but awkward with her staring at all of us for a bit. Mainly at our hands.
Seems she knows, well not like we hid it or anything. With all of that another, well peaceful day really, passed by with another fun night hehe...
~Next day after breakfast~
"I should have the new bus finished soon as the inside stuff is fairly easy, and quick." Said Clay while talking to the girls about what he will do today.
"Yay! That means we can relax more in the bath.~" Shizuka says cheerfully thinking about the new tub.
"Agreed. I like us being together, but having room to spread out sounds really nice.~"Rei jokes as she thinks of having a bigger bed to sleep on.
Saya, Miku, Kyoko, Rika all give an "Un!." with nods to show their agreement.
"Ara Ara~ Chuckles Saeko, she then teases saying "But being squeezed together is nice sometimes as well.~"
That seems to crash Saya.exe as steam comes out over her ears. I can't help but chuckle, as it's been a while since she was that embarrassed.
With that I head out to finish up the Bus after selling stuff, and giving a new list of stuff for Tipsy. Earning another easy 284M simply because Tipsy spent most of the yesterday finding stuff on the list from then.
I can feel so close to ranking up my 'Blacksmith' its hard to explain, but I can just feel it. I should hit rank-G after I finish.
{It seems to give a big chunk of I don't know 'EXP'??? After I complete something with only a little bit while I'm making something. Its the same for 'Mixing' too}
After a few hours I finish everything, and call the others to see. The Truck box add-on is enough for 1 person to stay in comfortably the bed takes up one side with the fridge, grill, table on the other side. This is so there is a small walkway in the middle.
The generator is on the outside. Inside its own little box with a latch the solar panels are on the cabs roof, so at a glace it looks like a normal military truck... Well one with extra metal welded on it, but still normal ish.
The Bus looks like a big RV or well a coach bus. {Again with extra metal welded onto it} It has a lot more solar panels on the roof then the truck too, and a small sliding hatch for roof access.
The door is a side sliding door, cause screw the crappy folding ones. I did a sliding door/ hatch that way if it's blocked and can't be fully closed{IE zombies in the way or whatever} then both can still mostly close. Atleast more so...
They also have a small SUPER sharp plate that slides over them that is hooked up to a button so if its pushed will have a piston slam them over{It should cut any body parts off and out of the way}.
I also gave it a really beefy engine so it can go 0-60 almost like a sports car. {Not in 10 secs but still fast for its size} I also added another axle in between the other 2 for more grip and to support the weight.
The inside has a nice almost king+queen sized bed I had to custom make. Its a king size in length, but K+Q wide, so it should be more than enough room.
The bathroom takes up the 2nd most space as the bathtub is the size of a Jacuzzi, so we can have a nice long soak... And other things hehe....
It also has a shower section. and I made the toilet its own separate room that's connected with a small sink inside. it has 2 doors one to the outer areas, with the other to the bathroom. With the bathroom having a door to the bedroom, and toilet. There are locks on the doors just normal ones but still they're there.
Those are at the back of the Bus, with the front having a nice open area a U bench against the bedroom wall with a good sized table for eating. and more seats closer to the front with some storage space.
And a simple kitchen on the other side with a full size fridge/freezer combo, electric oven/grill, kitchen sink, counters/cupboards underneath and above. With other small appliances.
But the part I like the most is in between the bathroom, and kitchen area is a small workbench/workshop zone. Its got most basic tools and some other stuff.
I used some small "Widening Charms" so its a bit bigger inside and in the storage areas. This way it isn't all cramped together. It's like a trailer sized mobile house really a small one but still...
The charms cost me 700M for them, but its worth it as we will be living in this for the rest of our time in this world, and maybe some others depending on the world..... Well that's the plan anyways.
Lastly I added a joystick controlled Minigun on. It folds into the hood and its SWEET!... There are also small sprinklers along the sides, and back that have 2 different tanks 1 for gas. The other for water. Muhahahahaha!!!
It won't START fires, BUT all it will need is a small spark haha. The bottom is fully sealed with a plate along it so it should protect the axles and stuff. It also has seal-able air holes along the roof so when they are closed it is fully airtight.
I did add a basic air system to the inside that uses air tanks its enough to last 10 people for about 2 hours according to Sage. The tanks are changeable inside.
Everything is reinforced glass and all, so it could according to Sage work in space as a survival pod, but it won't survive re-entry or extreme ocean depths.
It also wouldn't be able to have any control in space or anything, but still its a great mobile base
After showing off our new Bus. We "break in" the bathroom. And I then head on out to get some killing done. I've been just building for hours need to go release some fire, and sell some shit.
My 'Blacksmith' hit Rank-G so that's nice. Now I just need 'Mixing' to hit G, then we are in business for a grand ole time.
I tear down the wood walls and what not, while putting the other bus away. At the same time the girls are now loading up the new Bus with stuff.
The girls and I all go for a ride, while Kouta took his new Truck, with Kato ridding along. Alice begged her dad to let her ride in the Bus with us. She had to promise not to leave the Bus until after we returned though.
I was iffy about her coming along for a min then remembered its already the "End", and she was already in the thick of it when we met.... Also I mean she is old enough she should know how to protect herself somewhat.
I'll talk with Kato about it later. We go right on through the gates as it seems they got the memo about us not carrying about what they have to say it. They tried to have an escort follow us though. I assume it's cause Saya is with us, but meh we left before they could really follow us.
While Shizuka drives us away a bit to find a big group of zoms. I hear a quiet cheer every so often from the front I assume she is having a blast smashing zombies...
Rika instantly took the seat next to the driver as it has the joystick for the Minigun. The others are still putting things away, with Kyoko having a small Alice shadow following her around. It looks really adorable. It looks like Kyoko will make a great mother later...Hehe....
I go to the shop while waiting to arrive, and buy something I should have a while a go.... My bad... I buy 6
for a total of 300 M for the girls.... Yeah I should have done that a LONG time ago....*sigh* I wish I knew why I didn't til now...Moving on I also buy something else that I NOW know will work at least unless zombies mutate greatly...
[Able to block 3 preliminary infection level 5 and under. Provides +5 enhancement points to all attributes minus LCK. Can wear with other protective garment, no stacking of bonus. Able to withstand small caliber bullets] ~Warning Cannot resist the preliminary infection above level 20.~ {Durability 20/20} (SP 350 M){God and Devil World}> I get 9 of the for another 3.15B I had to go in the bedroom to have Tipsy give me the stuff he had, so I have enough for everything. I am now basically broke... Once again... But its worth it really. I still have a bit more than 200M but not enough to get 1 more P.G{Protective Garment} as the others need it more then me so the 9 are for them. I just want it for the stats and armor....Value.....(SAGE FIND ME ONE WITHOUT THE INFECTION PROTECTION!!!) Low and behold Its a full 100 M cheaper I still can't get it right now, but I almost can I should be able to get it before we get back. (NICE!!) Well then with that done. I walk out to the other then say. "Hey girls I have some stuff for all of you." After a slight pause Clay as she see Alice start to look sad so he clarifies "That means you too Alice." Alice's face quickly changes from sadness to a look of excitement, then replies "Really Oiisan? You have something for me too?" "Yup its something to help keep you safe, and will make you a bit stronger." Clay answers back then leans in close to whisper like it is a big secret to her. "Its made with magic" Oh boy she squealed with pure joy. It was kind of loud as it as right next to my ear, but I was glad to see her that happy, so I wasn't really mad about it. She even apologized for doing it after so I really can't be mad at her. It was super cute too. It did earn me laughs from the girls, but I myself laughed, so all in all it was great. I gave each one of them their P.G. and whispered about the serum, then slipped it into their hands this earned me a quick kiss from each of them. I took over for Shizuka driving, so she could go use the serum. And wear the P.G. they looked and wear like a thin undershirt so I told the girls to wear them under their shirts. With those they should be more than fine, and hidden too. Kyoko takes Alice to the back to help with hers. I'll give the other 2 in the Tuck theirs when we stop, I'm not going to talk about them over the radio. As that's a dumb way to get found out, you never know if someone's listening. You know? We should be far enough away from the manor now. I park to the side and hop out, and head over to the Truck. I quietly tell the 2 about the P.G. while giving them theirs making sure they will keep it on the down low... I make sure to tell Alice too.... Now that I think about it why is it the serum was something that didn't hurt a ton or something..... Meh not that important I guess. With that all done I drive the Bus to an intersection and blare the horn. The Truck is back a bit out of the way, so they shouldn't get in trouble. I told them to go in the back box just to be safe, and wait for the "all clear" from their radios. =================================== AN: Yo so some small time skips not a ton. With some enhancing the girls. Plus something for the others as they are the MC group he'll give them some good stuff, but most good stuff is for harem... But they are traveling together so some stuff makes sense. MC some likely won't do anymore then this for others if they join if even then. And Kato really just got included because of Alice honestly. Also is it better now? Atleast a bit more? Next chapter will have a 3-4 days skip with a this and this happened for a chunck if not all of it lol haven't written it yet so don't know fully lol. Also the Bus will most likely stay as the groups main place to sleep for a, well long time. It will get upgraded later sure but anymore IDK lmao. Welp that's all for me (^.^)
