Chapter 88 - 85 End of the second month in HOTD

I'm now sitting in a cafeteria opened by famous woman confectioner in the city before the apocalypse. When she was rescued, she asked for help and permission to create a cafeteria. When the girls found out who she was they immediately accepted her request.

The main clients of this cafeteria are the girls who live in the castle... and also the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es of the camp since they are among the few people who can afford the cost of the products they sell here.

Although I don't have a great fondness for sweet things, I don't dislike them either, but the main reason I come is because this cafe attracts... women.

It has been a month since the meeting and MLDW still continues to develop... there are even people who call it the small town Magical Land. Their words may not be very wrong since the population of MLDW could be considered in this way.

Yesterday I checked the number of survivors we have rescued and it was [8, 796]. We have almost tripled the amount from a month ago... certainly a great growth, one of the best things about the increase in population is that we were able to recruit new soldiers and we have 800 of them now.

There is a lot to consider when recruiting new soldiers so I left the recruitment part to Yoshioka. I only put minor adjustments to his plan.

That is why the number of soldiers with a rifle is 300, while those fighting with swords or spears is 500. You may think it was a waste to have all the other weapons stored and not use them. But I cannot just give them to other people because they can still kill me easily with firearms no matter how weak they are. That is why whenever I give firearms to a person I have to make sure that they are loyal to me or their aura is stable. If I give these easily, it might cause some problems like staging a coup or creating a riot.

Speaking of weapons, the vast majority of the vehicles we brought from the military headquarters were repaired this month... it is a pity that we still couldn't make the helicopters work. They said it was too complicated to fix

The team of Kurisu and Miyamoto was able to create the parts of the first two planes and currently, all the energy generators of the camp are based on crystals. The performance of these is not bad, they can provide sufficient energy to sutain all MLDW facilities with a cost of 20,000 thousand crystals.Using one light vehicle usually cost 10 crystals and 30 for heavy vehicles. So if we have 50 light and 20 heavy vehicles moving altogether, it would cost 1,100 crystals per day... it's not a small amount.

Kurisu told me that they are still working on improving them and what we have now is a prototype, she also said that they could even reduce the cost by half.

They are still working on making the energy shield. It's a good thing that we rescued many scientists from the laboratory as they have made great contributions and progress. They promised me that they're going to start the tests this month so I'm looking forward to seeing it. If it goes smoothly I wouldnt have to worry about hordes of zombies going towards us and the inhabitants of MLDW would feel a little more safe from the dangers of this world.

The research group of women that Shizuoka directs had a breakthrough, they were able to replicate the first level antidote. They were also able to make it in good quantities so I no longer have to depend so much on the system for first level antidotes.

The day they made the replica, Shizuka happily took me to the laboratory in order to inform me and they explained many things to me, although I couldn't understand most of what they're saying...

I just remembered that according to their research, the zombie virus is very similar to rabies and the antivirus I had is also a virus but specialized in attacking the zombie virus without side effects.

One of the characteristics of the zombie virus is that it gets stronger the more time passes, that's why the antivirus could only fight it for some time.

They didn't have problems in creating the first-level antivirus cultures, but it seems that they're having trouble replicating the second and third level antivirus. Now all of them are investigating hard... it is a pity that I won't be able to spend much time with my favorite pillow.

"... Alexander, are you listening to me?"

"Hmn? Oh, I'm sorry Haruna-san. I was thinking about how good it was for Shizuka's group to create an antidote."

"So that was it... that time when the leaders of other groups came because you announced the creation of antidotes, I thought they would attack us... that scared me"

As Haruna-san says, when I announced the creation of the antidote in the carnivorous plant store, the leaders with whom we formed an alliance called for a meeting immediately. They demanded that we supply them with the antidotes, even the Soichiro-Messiah wanted us to give it to all people free.

Their demands were simply nonsense, I told them they could buy one and try to make replicas or do whatever they wanted with it. They wanted me to sell one antivirus for 100 zombie crystals, I refused and told them that the price is 500 each regardless of any argument from them.

Many did not like that and a tense atmosphere formed. As director of the academy, Haruna-san who was at the meeting must have been nervous. In the end, without having any other option they had to accept the cost of these as it was almost impossible for them to form their own research group and acquire the necessary equipment.

That tension only lasted a few days and everything calmed down when we started killing the zombies adjacent to the city center in order to implement the third phase of the plan. Since they obtained crystals from the operation, many groups they were able to stock up on antidotes and only the weakest groups could not do so. Those weak camps ended up deciding to join us since they knew that our soldiers were administered the antidotes for free.

All this could only make me even more cheerful because I obtained new survivors and large amounts of crystals for an almost zero expense on my part.

If the average number of combatants in a camp is 50 and they wanted to protect all of them, they would have to spend 5 thousand crystals that would be 50 thousand for me. These things were also consumables, so they need buy again when used. The cherry on top of this great cake that I am eating is that the zombies they killed also counted for me.

This is why the number of zombies eliminated in my marker was now [118,734] and my crystal savings grew to [483,900]. Curse! Now feel as if I truly have progressed in this world!

"I understand that the creation of the antidote is a very good thing, Alexander. But it is not appropriate to get distracted thinking about other things when you invite a woman to eat ... much less thinking of another girl."

"Hehehe, then Haruna-san do you recognize that we are on a date? That makes me very happy."

Haruna-san suddenly makes a face of annoyance while playing with the fork and her piece of cake, seeing her on guard against me, I couldn't help playing with her a little.

"N-no, it's not a date! I also like to come here that's why I accepted your invitation to come here together... also I don't like it when I come alone because whenever you come here, the owner of the cafeteria prepares more delicious foods "

Quickly she tries to make excuses for the reason why she came with me... although they may not be entirely excuses since there is some truth in them. The owner of the store is always the one who attends to us whenever I come here and not the regular waitresses, I would like to think that it is because I am one of the leaders of this camp, but the truth is....

"The look she gave me when served the dishes feels like she wanted me to leave her shop ... it was a bit scary... it seems you know quite a few girls here, Alexander"

While she told me that, a girl who works in the pink zone greets me by sending me a kiss, so being polite I also waved my hand to her. The girls did not allow me to go to the pink zone so this place became a sanctuary for me to be able to talk and make friends with many of them... it is a pity that although they invited me to visit them at their work, I still can't go.

"I really don't know what they are thinking even though they know that you're 12 years old ..."

I can hear her murmur while watching the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e strongly... it is a great relief that unlike Kurisu the anger due to Haruna-san's jealousy is directed towards the other girls instead of me. But it is a pity that she still sees me as a child.

I had some progress with Haruna-san this month, the text on her head says [Haruna level 37] [Tamer] [Affection: Indecisive 95]. Two things changed, one was her affection the [Confused] became [Indecisive], with one last push this would probably change again.

One of the reasons why I brought Haruna-san here is to see if seeing other women who treat me as a man can change her mindset. Some people say that if a woman finds a man's appearance ugly and another group of women told her that he is attractive, her mentality can change and may also find that man attractive. Although it may also be that she simply recedes to the pressure of others. Anyways that's something that would be really good for me if it really happens.

The other change in the status of Haruna-san is her level. This is due to two reasons, the first is because her bond with the dog, she also gains experience from the zombies it kills, although it is the dog that takes most of the experience… the level of the dog was 41 the last time I saw it.

The second reason is because of me. I gave her one of the Limit-break pills that I had previously obtained for the reward of completing an objective of the ongoing missions. With this pill, she was able to increase 10 levels in an instant, these are the reasons Haruna-san reached her current level.

She was not the only one with whom I used that pill. I also gave these to the other girls in my group who had to concentrate more on research than on expeditions.

Kurisu is now level 33, Shizuka 35 and Saya 31... Shizuka surpassed the others because of her morning workouts. Those are 4 of the 5 pills I had, I gave the last one to Saeko. Although she was still going on expeditions constantly, I thought it would be better if she was stronger in order to avoid accidents, she is now level 43.

I decided to wait before using them but... they're gone now, but I can still buy them in the system. Their value is 50 thousand crystals a piece ... or I can also wait until I complete an objective from mission of collecting survivors.

Anyway, I am not in a hurry to use it, the reason why is because after I broke through the 4 limit, I have the same problem as Scythe. The experience that zombies give me to level up is very little... this month I only managed to gain 3 levels and I now have the same level as Saeko.

So if I use the pill and go through the 5th limit, I may not be able to level up the entire time I am here in this world... at first I also thought about making Saeko wait before using it, but I am more concerned about her safety than her level management. Although she may level a little slower now, the stronger she is, the safer I will feel.

"Alexander ... are you going to start tomorrow with the plan to deal with the zombies in the city center?"

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens tomorrow the plan will begin"

"... you must be very careful, understand ... also please help Takashi ... that child can be very impulsive at times"

"Hehehe, are you worried about me Haruna-san?"

"O-of course! ... b-but many other people care about you too, so make sure you come back safe."

"Don't worry Haruna-san, I want to do many things before I die, so I won't let others take my life easily... do you want me to tell you one of the things I want to do?"

"Hmn? If you want to tell me then I'll listen"

"Come closer, Haruna-san. It's a secret ... I don't want others to hear it"

I get up from my chair and lean forward with my palms on the table. Haruna-san imitates me but because of the height difference she has to lean more. Then I move my lips near her ear and murmur.

"...Haruna-san... one of the things I want to achieve most before I die is...for you to become completely my woman"

"E-eh? T-th-that… Hyaan ~"

"Kyaaaaa ~"

As she began to stutter and get nervous, I sucked the lobe of her ear and started playing with it with my tongue and teeth causing her to groan in addition to making her paralyzed. In the next instant, all the other girls who were eating their desserts at the café screamed due to my actions.

Last month I tried not to be assertive in approaching her and waited for her mentality to change, but that didn't seem to work well and if time continued to pass it would be harder for her to see me as a man. She would just keep me in her mind as the child she cares for or a friend to hang out with.

Without another option, it was time to bet everything, it's all or nothing now.

"Mmn ~... A-Alexander..."

When I hear Haruna-san calling my name I stopped playing with her ear and moved back a little to see her face. She looked like a tomato and when I tried looking into her eyes, she evades my gaze while biting her lower lip... she looked very pretty indeed.

Without being able to resist, I held her cheeks and kissed her gently as if trying to caress her lips with mine... It only lasted for a few seconds since if she is too ashamed she may faint. Our lips separated but I still continued to hold her face and looked again directly into her eyes.
