Age Of Zombies Chapter 48 [48] Harem Anime Dream

It was one of those cold nights in the rocky mountains, where the chill seeped through every layer of clothing no matter how much you bundled up. Me and Ethan were pulling a night shift together, standing just outside the watchtower, our breath misting in front of us. The stars were out, the sky clear for once, but the darkness of the surrounding mountains was always a little unnerving.

Ethan, ever the nerd, had his hands jammed into his jacket pockets, his glasses fogging up slightly from the cold. We'd been talking about random crap for the past hour—anime, games, anything to distract us from the creeping sense of dread that always came with night watch duty. But then, out of nowhere, Ethan brought up a topic I wasn't expecting."Hey, Jake," he said, glancing over at me, a weird little grin on his face. "Can I ask you something?"I raised an eyebrow, already sensing where this was going. "What's up?"He hesitated for a second, probably trying to find the right words, then he just blurted it out. "Which girl do you like? You know, from our little group."I nearly choked on the air I was breathing, caught completely off guard. "What the hell, man?" I laughed, shaking my head. "Where'd that come from?"Ethan shrugged, his grin growing wider. "Come on, dude. You can't tell me you haven't thought about it. We've been living with three hot girls for months. There's no way you haven't had some... thoughts."I snorted, trying to play it cool, but the truth was, he wasn't wrong. I had thought about it. A lot. "Alright, fine. I've thought about it," I admitted, crossing my arms to shield myself from the cold. "But what about you, man? You're asking me this like you don't have any thoughts of your own."Ethan's grin faltered slightly, and he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well, yeah, I mean, of course I've thought about it. I'm human, aren't I? But, you know... it's not like I'm exactly smooth with the ladies."I laughed, the image of Ethan trying to flirt popping into my head. "Yeah, no shit.""Hey!" he protested, nudging me with his elbow. "I'm serious! I'm just... I don't know. You're better with them than I am. You're all close with Yabe and Daisy, and Liza's always hanging around you.""That's because we're friends," I pointed out, though even as I said it, I knew there was more to it than that. "Besides, they give you shit too.""Yeah, they give me shit. But they don't talk to me the way they talk to you," Ethan muttered, kicking at the snow beneath his boots. "I mean, be honest—who do you actually like? Out of the three of them."I paused, thinking about it seriously for the first time. Ethan stared at me, waiting for my answer like it was the most important thing in the world. "Honestly?" I said, exhaling a long breath. "I like all of them."Ethan blinked, clearly not expecting that. "Wait, what? All of them?"I shrugged, feeling a bit sheepish. "Yeah. I mean, they're all awesome in their own way. Daisy's a badass, Liza's funny as hell, and Yabe... well, Yabe's just... you know, she's Yabe."Ethan let out a low whistle, looking at me like I'd just dropped some kind of bombshell. "Damn, dude. You're really going for the harem route, huh?"I laughed, shaking my head. "It's not like that. I'm not some anime protagonist or anything."Ethan grinned, his nerdy side coming out in full force. "Oh, come on. You're totally like Issei from High School DxD right now. Except, you know, you're not trying to collect boobs.""Thanks for the comparison," I said dryly, rolling my eyes. "But no, I'm not Issei.""Maybe you should be," Ethan teased, his grin widening. "Just admit it, Jake. You've got a harem in the making."I groaned, running a hand through my hair. "Gosh, you're such a nerd."Ethan raised his hands in defense. "Hey, man, I'm just calling it like I see it. You like all three of them, they all like you... You've got the perfect setup for a Tenchi Muyo situation."I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "Dude, this isn't some harem anime. We're just trying to survive here.""Yeah, but don't you want to survive with some... benefits?"I shoved him lightly, shaking my head. "Geez, Ethan."He chuckled, rubbing his arms to fend off the cold. "Hey, man, I'm just saying. If the world's ending, we might as well not die virgins, right?"I shot him a look, half-amused, half-annoyed. "What is it with you and dying a virgin? You bring this up like every other day.""Because it's important!" Ethan said, throwing his hands in the air. "Dude, we're living in a post-apocalyptic world. The odds of us dying in the next week are pretty damn high. I don't want to go out without... you know, having experienced that at least once."I shook my head, still laughing. "You make it sound like we're gonna die tomorrow.""Hey, we might!" Ethan said with a grin. "And if we do, I'd rather go out like the guys from High School of the Dead—surrounded by hot girls, kicking ass, and hopefully not a virgin."I couldn't argue with his logic. "So what's your plan, then? You gonna confess your undying love to one of them?"Ethan's face turned bright red, and he stammered, "W-Well, I mean... I don't know about that. But maybe I'll, like... get close to one of them. You know, slowly."I chuckled, patting him on the back. "Good luck with that, man."He narrowed his eyes at me. "What about you, Jake? You like all of them, but who are you actually gonna go for?"I shrugged, playing it off. "I don't know. I guess I'm just waiting to see what happens.""See what happens?" Ethan scoffed. "That's your big plan?""Yeah, pretty much."Ethan rolled his eyes. "You're hopeless. We should make a bet.""A bet?" I raised an eyebrow."Yeah," he said, grinning mischievously. "Whoever gets a harem first wins. Winner gets... I don't know, bragging rights. And maybe something else."I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "You're seriously proposing a bet on who gets a harem first?""Why not?" Ethan shot back. "It'll give us some motivation."I shook my head, still grinning. "Fine, you're on. But I wouldn't hold your breath."Ethan chuckled, nudging me again. "We'll see, man. We'll see. Who knows? Maybe you'll end up in a High School DxD scenario after all."I rolled my eyes, but part of me couldn't help but wonder. We were living in a world where anything could happen, and as ridiculous as it sounded, maybe Ethan wasn't entirely wrong."Alright, enough with the harem talk," I said, laughing. "Let's get back to the real world."Ethan grinned, but he didn't let it go. "Just remember, Jake—if you do end up with all three of them, you owe me big time.""Yeah, yeah," I muttered, shaking my head. "Don't hold your breath."Q: Which girl out of the 3 would you want to date?
