[HOTD] Chapter 4 – A Change
🕑 Added 2025-03-27 20:57:43 +0000 UTCWhen I ate in the school cafeteria with Saeko, I saw a girl with brown hair sitting with her friends. She was beautiful and had a nice style, her body curvy and slim, her face cute. There was no doubt about it. She was Miyamoto Rei, the heroine of the anime.
And seeing her reminded me of the zombie outbreak that would happen in the future. I was too relaxed lately, slacking off in my preparation because of the peace I felt.
I was a fool.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
When I was lost in thought, my eyes met with Rei. She glared sharply at me, her cheeks slightly flushed while hiding her breasts behind her arms. She seemed to think that I was staring at her boobs. It was true that I did so for a second, but I quickly averted my gaze when I saw her face.
At that moment, the notification I hadn't heard for 3 days finally popped out again.
[Make your choice!]
1. Act cool and say "nothing". (Reward: 5 Shop Points + 1 Agility)
2. Say "I'm looking at you, cutie." (Reward: 10 Shop Points + 1 Stamina)
3. Say "your breasts." (Reward: 30 Shop Points + 1 All Stats)
I gulped.
'Can you be anymore unreliable, you fucking system? What will happen if I choose the third option?'
While I panicked inside, my expression remained calm and collected. I looked at Rei, and she was still glaring at me, waiting for my answer.
To be honest, I already made a choice. So I smiled at her and said, "Nothing."
I wasn't a man who would risk getting hit by a woman in public just to gain a bit of reward.
[Ding! You have received 5 Shop Points + 1 Agility]
Rei didn't seem satisfied by my answer. She got up and walked towards me. When she reached me, she slammed the table with both hands, saying, "Are you sure you're not looking at my breasts? Then what were you looking at? My face?"
"Aren't you too self-conscious?" Saeko asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Rei asked, confused.
Saeko sighed, and said, "Why would he look at you, junior, when he has a sister as beautiful as me?"
'Oh god, sis. Please stop talking. You're not helping the situation.'
Rei blushed and said, "What the hell do you mean by that, senior? Are you bragging or something?"
"No, of course not." Saeko replied with a devilish smile. "It's the truth. My brother would never stare at your breasts, because he has seen much better ones."
"Ugh, that's gross!" Rei said, looking disgusted.
She stormed away, leaving me and Saeko alone to join a man with gray hair. I sighed and shook my head, looking at Saeko who was smiling at me.
"Sis, please don't do that again."
"Do what?" She asked, tilting her head.
I sighed again, "You know what I meant."
"Don't worry, Daiki. I'm just messing around with her." She laughed.
Of course she just messed around with her. Behind her usual cold expression, a devil who loved to torment others lurked.
"But really, I'm glad you're not interested in her."
Indeed. Miyamoto Rei was the main heroine of the series and a girl who would bring a lot of trouble to a man. She looked cute and innocent, but she was a ticking bomb for a man. If I chose to get close to her, my peaceful school life would end.
Personally, I didn't like her. Whether it was me from the previous world or me in this world, I knew her bad sides, so I would let the protagonist deal with her himself.
I wanted to enjoy this life as much as possible before the zombie apocalypse started.
***
In the end, the system didn't bother me again after that. It seemed to only show up when it had a choice for me, and even then, the choices were random.
Still, the reward was generous. I could feel the growth of my body and skills after the system helped me. I could swing a sword easier, my stamina was higher, my reflexes were better, and my mind was clearer.
If this continued, I would be able to survive the apocalypse without much effort.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I admired my new body. It was lean, muscular, and toned. My shoulders were broad, and my arms were thick.
I was a hunk.
"Let's check my status now."
[Name: Busujima Daiki
Strength: 10 | Agility: 10 | Stamina: 12 | Dexterity: 9
Skills: Busujima Swordsmanship (Beginner), Marksmanship (Intermediate)
Shop Points: 25 P]
Everything increased significantly. It seemed like my status also increased from training and daily life. The system just made it a lot faster.
I was happy with the result.
However, there were still problems I had to solve. One of them was a weapon. I had a sword, but no gun. My current shooting skill was still better than my swordsmanship, so it would be better if I could get my hands on a gun.
But how?
Asking father was impossible. I had tried it once, but I failed.
'...Maybe I should ask a Yakuza?'
No, that was a stupid idea. I was just a highschooler, and they wouldn't sell me a gun. If they did, they would probably charge me an exorbitant price. Not to mention, it was dangerous. They could kidnap and sell me.
'Wait, that's it!'
My thoughts came to a halt. Why didn't I realize this earlier? The solution was so easy and simple.
The school's nurse, Shizuka, had a friend who loved guns. She was a police officer and owned several firearms.
If I could get close to her and ask her to help me, I would be able to get a gun without any problem.
"Let's meet her tomorrow and make a request." I nodded to myself.
It was already late at night now. It would be better to wait until morning before I visited the school again.
Creak-
My door opened and Saeko came in. She was wearing nothing but a loose t-shirt—which barely covered her thighs—and thongs. Her hair was wet, and her skin glistened with water. She looked so hot, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
I was mesmerized by her beauty, and I couldn't move a muscle until she pushed me down, pressing her breasts against my chest.
"Let's sleep. Somehow I want to cuddle with you tonight."
"Sure."
I didn't know why she wanted to do so, but it wasn't the first time she asked for a hug, so I obliged.
She lay down beside me and put her arm around my waist, pulling me close to her. Our bodies were pressed together, and I could feel her warm breath on my neck.
We fell asleep while cuddling in each other's arms.
