After the group decided that it was for the better to move as a single group and head to a very big place like Yuuki's villa instead of what they firstly intended to do, mainly because it was something Kyoko considered the best decision as the villa is up the mountains and Shizuka's friend's house in the middle of the city. Facing Yuuki, as she has her treasure box on her left hand, I look at the treasure box and then at her. Our eyes meet, she looks nervous.
"What are you waiting for?"
Yuuki: "Hey, calm down. I'm preparing myself."
She takes a deep breath and look at me, I nod and she opens the lid. The box then disappears and what remains on her hand looks like a futuristic revolver.
"(That's cool.)"
The information I get from it surprises me.
"(Hand Cannon Type 1 (6/6): Shoots high explosive electromagnetically accelerated rounds thus having overwhelming firepower and recoil, holds up to six rounds and generates one round four but if an individual shot kills an entity then a bullet is immediately recovered, it can only be used by User Yuuki Miku, a blessing from God. Electromagnetically accelerated rounds? This thing is like a miniature version of a railgun. And every one shot one kill recovers ammo too. It's too OP. I bet it can kill zombies easily. But... User? So are we really in a game? I did think things were too game-like with items, drops and things like that but this basically confirms it. Or at least confirms that our current situation is game-based. But it doesn't matter if we are or not, things won't be much different than before, after all, life already was kinda like a game. A one-life game. But it was arguably easier. That's undeniable.) Hey, you've got something crazy good."
Yuuki looks clearly dejected.
Yuuki: "Really? But it's not what I wanted. I wanted to have a cool superpower like you, not a dumb gun. Wanna have it?"
Smiling, I shake my head.
"(If you just knew... I could've told you about my scanning ability things but you don't know how to keep secrets so I better not.) I can't. It's yours so only you should use it. Besides, it looks cool doesn't it?"
She smiles a little awkwardly.
Yuuki: "I guess?"
I stare at her with an expressionless face.
"(Pretty much any guy would go crazy over that yet she's sad. Girls.)"
Yuuki: "What? Sorry if I'm not all happy about it."
She lowers her hands and frowns.
Yuuki: "Ugh. It's so heavy. I never used something like this before. You sure you don't want it?"
I shake my head once again and stand up.
"
She gets up and looks at me, she looks surprised.
Yuuki: "You know about guns? How come you never told me?"
"You never asked."
Yuuki: "Ah. That's... true."
Getting behind her, I hug her body and grab her hands.
"(Wow, it's really heavy. It must weigh five kilos or so.) Just so you know, I've also never used a gun in my life, let alone something this powerful, but I've already looked into it and have a basic sense. Lemme help you."
Pointing her arms forward, in a direction where no one's at, I grasp her hands, fix her posture, hand positioning, elbow positioning, and put her finger out of the trigger, everything based on what I learned.
"When you're about to shoot, you hold it firmly, your non dominant hand must be grasping your dominant hand and the gun, supporting both, then you align the sight at the target and, finally, you pull the trigger..."
Lifting her arms very quick, I simulate a gun's recoil.
Yuuki: "H-Hey!"
"Pay attention. Guns have recoil and the stronger they are the worse the recoil is. In this gun's case, the recoil is going to be massive so grip it tight. Make sure to stay like this and do what I told you because we don't want the gun to fly from your hand or to miss the target..."
I look at her face and see that she's quite confused but trying her best to follow.
"(She looks cute.) ...If you're going to shoot and feel you can't do it with both eyes open, close one of them and aim through the sight. You probably won't nail it in your first try but the zombies won't dodge, they simply run. Also, this must make some serious noise so don't shoot it unless someone is in danger and you really need to. Alright?"
Yuuki: "Um-hum."
"(Time to influence her.) We don't know when you'll have to use it so stay like that and memorize the position and what I said. Get used to the gun and it's weight. Got it? (Usually, she'd never do something like this. She hates boring things.)"
Yuuki: "What? Really?
Releasing her body, I sit on a chair nearby and watch at her. She's focusing hard and mumbling to herself so I leave her be. As I observe her, teacher Kyoko comes to me, holding some clothes on her right hand.
Kyoko: "Anthony, a young man like you shouldn't stay almost naked amidst so many women so I've got these from that locker. Try them out, see if you can fit in them."
Standing up, I grab the clothes and throw the towel aside.
"Thanks, teacher. I'll do that."
All of a sudden I feel eyes on me but when I look at them only Saya thrns her head away, the rest continues to stare.
Kyoko: "Don't you have shame?"
Turning to her, I notice she's also staring and quite hard at that.
"I do but there's not much different from before. I'm just slightly more naked. But hey, teacher, you sure you want to call me shameless? What about them? (That includes you.)"
She doesn't avert her eyes, her face is stern like always.
Kyoko: "If you do that in front of me or anyone else then you sure don't mind getting stared at. If you did, you'd have gone to the bathroom to change yourself. Enough talk, dress yourself."
"(She's kinda right though.) Okay, okay."
As I try the clothes, Kyoko looks at Yuuki, or rather, the gun in her hands. Before she can even take a step at her, however, I quickly dress myself and am done trying the clothes out. From the pair of social pants and social shirt she gave me, only the pants fit. Handing the shirt to her, I smile.
"It's quite tight on the crotch but it's way better than the towel. Thanks, teacher Hayashi. I appreciate it. It's reassuring to have an adult taking care of us."
She smiles even so slightly and fixes her glasses.
Kyoko: "Of course. Taking care of the young ones is the duty of us, adults. Specially for a teacher. This is why you should never, ever, shamelessly undress yourself in front of so many girls like this again. What if they call you pervert and call the police on you?"
I bow but almost let out a chuckle.
"(Ah yes, police will come after me when zombies are out there, killing hundreds, thousands, if not millions.) Yes, yes. I understand teacher Kyoko. I'm deeply sorry. I'll never do this again."
Looking satisfied, she crosses her arms.
Kyoko: "You were always a good, intelligent boy so I know you regret it. Unlike some really bad girls in this room..."
Straightening up, I smile.
"(That's the best thing of being friends with teachers, they let you out of the hook pretty easily.) I see. Anyway, what do we do now, teacher?"
She looks at the others and at Yuuki.
Kyoko: "Everyone's pretty much ready to go. So grab the things you wanna take and wait for everyone to finish their own things. Also, where did you two get that?"
Turning to Yuuki, I realize she's talking about the gun.
"From the treasure box. You know the small little box that appeared in your hand after that weird voice spoke? It was from that. We opened it."
She looks surprised.
Kyoko: "Wait. I've got something like that but I left it somewhere."
She turns around and looks for it.
Kyoko: "Around here... Ah. Here it is."
She leans forward and over the table to grab the box but as she does so her pencil skirt slowly slides up and reveals her pale, big and round asscheeks with a red lace thong digging into her ass. I obviously stare at that sight.
"(Those are bigger than Yuuki's. She's got a really nice ass and a MILF energy.)"
I quickly take my eyes off her rear and look at her and, thankfully, she isn't aware I just oggled her ass.
"(Should I tell her? Maybe?)"
She grabs the box and turns around, handing it to me. Now that she's facing me, the front side of her red lace thongs are in plain view. I can even see her
Kyoko: "This is it, right?"
I nod.
"Yeah..."
But then I scratch my chin and look elsewhere.
"Ehm... Teacher, you might want to fix your skirt."
She frowns a little and then looks at herself, her eyes widen and her face gets red. She panics and immediately fixes her skirt before glaring at me.
Kyoko: "Did you see?"
"... I did."
She gets even redder but she fixes her glasses and returns to her stern attitude even though she's flustered.
Kyoko: "It does that whenever I do anything other than walk or sit. You should see when I climb steps... or rather, you shouldn't. Anyway, I didn't do that on purpose, don't get the wrong idea. I won't tell you to forget that because I'm sure you won't, and you will probably use that as masturbation material, but don't tell anyone you saw that, you hear me?"
I try my best to keep a serious face.
"Yes, teacher. No one will know you're using red thongs."
She frowns.
Kyoko: "Anthony, I'm serious. If you tell anyone about it-"
I interrupt her.
"I'm just messing with you teacher, don't worry. I won't tell anyone, it was an unfortunate moment. Just that."
Her frown deepens.
Kyoko: "What? Unfortunate? You didn't like it? Just because I'm an older woman? Is that why you called it unfortunate? For your information, I'm in my early thirties and I'm still really beautiful and in the perfect age to marry, I'm alone just because... It doesn't matter. Watch your words, young man. I won't repeat myself."
I shake my hands.
"
Kyoko opens her red lips but then closes them again, she looks happy but at loss of words.
Kyoko: "... Am I... beautiful?"
I frown slightly.
"(Where the hell is this going to?) Yes, the most beautiful woman I've seen. (I'm not lying, Yuuki and Saeko are very beautiful but they're not full-blown women yet so they lack that mature charm. But. Um... I guess I am lying. Shizuka is much beautiful. But she doesn't need to know, if I tell her things might get more complicated.)"
A genuine smile blossoms on her face.
Kyoko: "I see. What about my age... Don't you think I'm too old?"
My frown deepens a little.
"(Is she using me to reassure herself?) No, you're young and hot. (Oh well, when it comes to sucking up to someone I'm pretty good.) I'd marry you."
Her smile widens and a blush covers her cheeks.
Kyoko: "Oh my, you naughty young man. Now my underwear... What do you think of it?"
I shake my head.
"(Yeah. She is.) Haven't seen sexiest."
She nibbles on her lower lip while looking at me.
Kyoko: "You got such a silver tongue, Anthony. I like it. I REALLY do..."
She maintains eye contact for a little while but then takes a deep breath, fixes her appearance, glances at the others and then turn to me. The feeling I get from her changed greatly from like a few minutes ago.
Kyoko: "
The warmth I can feel from her gaze is intense and weird. It's like having a really horny Yuuki staring down at me, it's giving me goosebumps. I feel like I'm some real tasty steak being stared at by a starving lioness.
"(Perhaps I said too much. My influence seems to have more to it than the description said.)"
Kyoko: "... Anyway, open it up."
Following her eyes, I look at my hand and realize I had the treasure box with me all the time. I glance at her and open the lid. A very pretty silver ring rests on my palm immediately after the box disappears.
"(Ring of Protection: Summons a potent protective barrier around the user's body when facing a lethal attack, has three charges and each restores after eight hours, a blessing from God. Look at that. This gives three more lives, technically. If the attack isn't lethal then it won't activate but if it is then the number of lives could be infinite if it was used wisely and sparsely. Though I get the feeling that there's a way to bypass the shield, like a super strong attack. And, for some reason, there's no User mentioning or any restriction like Yuuki's gun. Was it because I opened it? Does being a Human Boss gets rid of the limitation if I open it?)"
Kyoko: "Oh my... It's so beautiful."
Kyoko stares at the ring, she's really interested in it to the point it's written all over her face. I grab it and hold it with my fingers.
"(Well, the box was hers so only fair I give it to her.) Here, teacher. You can have it. This ring is very special and something tells me it will be very helpful to you, teacher."
Contrary to what I expected, however, she slides her ring finger through the ring hole while I still hold it. This makes it look as if I proposed to her. But I can't deny the ring looks really good on her hand.
Kyoko: "Wow... Of course it is very, very special. Thank you so much, Tony."
"(Tony?)"
She looks at me and the ring.
Kyoko: "I'll treasure it with my life, after all, you gave it to me."
I frown slightly.
"(Naw... She didn't...) Yeees."
She smiles and nods.
Kyoko: "Yeah, I really appreaciate it, Tony."
"(She did. She really did it... What's wrong with her? This woman is definitely bad in the head... Or her loneliness drove her crazy, basically due to Japanese society's values, but I don't know which though.) If that's how you wanna take it, teacher. You're welcome. (I better ignore this and forget it ever happened. But the question is... Will she do the same?)"
She shakes her head
Kyoko: "No, Tony. You have to call me Kyoko."
"(Of course she won't. Why did I actively engage in a conversation? Why did I point out she needed to fix herself? If regret could kill I'd already be dead a dozen times). Okay... Kyoko... (I always knew she was a frustrated woman but she's that frustrated?)
She smiles happily and I can't deny it is a very beautiful smile. I feel a gentle tug in my heart as the one on the receiving end of such smile.
Kyoko: "Yes."
A couple of minutes pass in utter silence and Saya approaches us. She stares at Kyoko and tries her best not to look at me.
Saya: "We're ready."
Kyoko looks at her and glances at me and my crotch. Those aren't the kind of stares a teacher should give a student.
Kyoko: "Alright. Everyone, group up. We have to discuss our route out of here."
She then walks off.
Saya: "P-Pervert."
Saya follows after her shortly after.
"
I get the sudden urge of simply lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum but I resist it. Just as I do so, I feel someone hugging me from behind. Looking behind me over my shoulder, I see Yuuki.
Yuuki: "Baby, why are you sighing?"
I smile and turn to stare at Saya's and Kyoko's back as Yuuki peeks her head out from my side.
"(She didn't hear any of that? She was really focused.) I'm just tired. (Damn, is Kyoko some sort of succubus? She sucked my life force with all that bullshit. I'm drained and not in a good way.)
Yuuki gets in front of me with a naughty smile on her face.
Yuuki: "Bear with it, Baby, and I'll reward you plenty. When we get to my bedroom I'll carefully scrub you up with my soft body and wash you with warm water. Then I'll take you to bed, lay you down and ride you until you empty your balls inside me. I'll take every drop and you won't have to do anything, just feel good."
I smile.
"We'll need to change the sheets and take another bath then."
She blushes.
Yuuki: "Jeez, I don't that because I want to. It just comes out. And you said you like it!"
"I do, it tastes sweet."
Yuuki: "There you go again. I tell you not to drink it but you don't listen to me."
"Nothing I can do, I love sweet things. Besides, I tell you to spit it out all the time but you always swallow."
Yuuki: "H-Hey, I love the strong smell and bitter taste, and how thick it is. It sticks to the throat."
My smile widens.
"
She smiles back.
Yuuki: "It's my duty. I have to spread the word about how amazing you are. I could never hog such thing to myself so I want everyone to know it. Besides, Taniuchi and Kawamoto asked why I stopped fucking other guys after knowing you. I couldn't keep my mouth shut, could I?"
"Yes, you could."
She grabs my hand and pulls me.
Yuuki: "
I don't resist and allow her to drag me.
"Okay."
