Chapter 85: Another Drama
We advanced to an abandoned warehouse where I let the survivors rest.
"Stay here and make no noise, Kiwako will stay in charge until reinforcements arrive while I and the others go to our base to check the situation" - I used my Intimidation skill so that troublesome idiots would not arise.
I handed Kiwako a walkie talkie. - "Send a short message if problems arise, here there is no interference in the signal but it is possible that our enemies track the signal so only use it in case of emergency"
Kiwako nodded. - "Captain, did something happen at the base?"
I smiled a little at how observant this woman is. - "It is possible that a conflict begins so I will hasten to see the situation"
"Understood, I will keep these people safe" - Kiwako nodded and then showed a strange, unusual smile. - "Captain, I request permission to use lethal force to deal with those who cause trouble."
Kiwako's words made the survivors tremble as I smiled.
"Lend me your sword and sheath" - I nodded.
Kiwako gave me his sword. First I covered the weapon with black blood and then I used my Ki to improve the edge, it should be enough to cut through steel with ease, just in case I used enough energy for the effect to last 2 hours and then I improved the sword sheath so that it sword would not break it.
"I give you the freedom to act as you think best" - I approached to pat Kiwako's shoulder, taking advantage of the short distance I whispered so that only she would hear. - "If necessary, your team must withdraw regardless of the others, only the scientist girl is a priority"
Kiwako stood firm without hesitation. - "Understood captain"
"Take care, I'll be waiting for you so we can fuc-!" - Shiguma was interrupted by the maid.
"Thank you for helping us Luis-sama" - The maid bowed as she covered the perverted scientist's mouth.
"I'd rather you call me Luis, I feel like my name sounds strange with honorifics" - I sighed again and left the warehouse.
"You guys go back to the warehouse and protect the place" - I looked at Sayo, Kaede, and Shiro who had followed me out of the warehouse.
Sayo shook her head. - "I was thinking about your outburst from before, although it was my mistake not to take into account the place and time I am worried that you look very tired and stressed, you do not have to carry everything on your own, you can trust us, we are your family after all"
"Shiro is part of the harem! Shiro is trustworthy! "- Shiro nodded happily, although she still doesn't understand that is a harem.
"Nn" - Kaede clenched her little fists as she nodded.
"What are you so anxious about?" - Sayo came over and looked at me with concern.
"I do not know, my instinct has always warned me of dangerous situations and that is why I have survived until now" - I sighed. - "Since I was attacked by snipers I have had a bad feeling as if a knife were pressed against my neck"
I have the feeling that an animal is looking at me from an unknown place and at any moment it will stick its fangs in my neck, it is not an enemy that is looking at me at this moment, but it is close.
I can't explain the feeling, but with the combination of all my abilities my perception of danger has increased to the point of being called an instinct, and that instinct is telling me that if I go back to the Takagi mansion I will get involved in something troublesome.
"Then the best thing is that we accompany you, if we had not arrived in time the snipers would have stopped you until the tide of mutants arrived and even if you could survive you would be seriously injured" - Sayo showed me an expression full of stubbornness. - "As your wife, I have the obligation to accompany you even if you get involved in something dangerous"
My lip trembled, instead of feeling moved I got upset. That shitty logic is why my stupid mother kept up with my stupid father.
"... Ah, whatever" - I sighed and let them accompany me, anyway, the three of them will be very helpful to evacuate the rest of my harem if things get troublesome.
To avoid unforeseen events, I reinforced the warehouse doors with Ki and a cover of black blood, my nutrient reserve is still 65% full.
Madness came out of my body in its real form, a giant dog 2 meters tall with a terrifying smile, I climbed on his back and gestured to Sayo and the two girls.
"Dog dog dog dog!" - Shiro shouted excitedly and jumped onto Madness's back.
"His smile from him is still haunting" - Sayo smiled wryly and also jumped on Madness's back followed by Kaede.
"It's cute" - Kaede loves dogs so she likes Madness.
"I'm cute, woof" - Madness began to wag her tail happily.
"Stop playing and hurry up" - Why is everyone around me so carefree?
Madness started running towards the Takagi mansion, on the way we hunted some infected, I used Tsubaki to keep collecting souls while the corpses were food for Madness.
Madness ran at full speed so many souls and corpses were wasted, but I didn't have time, I had Madness form seat belts to prevent the girls from flying off at speed and in half an hour we managed to get close to the entrance of the mansion.
"We're here, woof" - Madness spoke expectantly.
"Good job" - I patted her head making her happy.
We came down from Madness and I made it return to my body before reaching the entrance.
I discovered that when a normal person who has not been affected by my Madness of Egoism looks at the real form of Madness, his mind is negatively affected with fear, anxiety, depression, and genocidal impulses.
Madness has my Intimidation ability passively and if let loose in its real form it can drive ordinary people to suicide with just the presence of it.
We reached the entrance and the guards raised their weapons when they saw us. - "He is here! Quick, inform Soichiro-sama! "
Navi has kept me informed of the situation, although Soichiro has not made his move and Shido is still unconscious, Soichiro has already marked Sayo as a traitor and me as a suspect, in case I returned without the rest of the search team meant that I killed them and am planning an internal conflict to steal their authority.
A plan where Soichiro can turn the survivors against me, but the idiot forgot that my group has the strength to eliminate people from this base plus Yuriko will now see me as the only hope.
"I'm tired of this shit, Kaede, Shiro takes care of it" - I walked without caring about the weapons.
"Stop or we will shoot! Hey? W-Wait! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"What is this?! Monster aaaaaaaahhhhh !! "
"Soichiro-sama we are under attack aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"
"Fun! Cut cut fun fun! " - Shiro began to shout happily as gigantic scissors appeared in her hand that split one of the guards in half vertically.
Another guard tried to shoot Shiro but his hands detached from his body, then his legs were cut off and finally his head turned 180 degrees. Kaede was not satisfied with mutilating the man, she used the corpse as a hammer and struck another guard so hard that both bodies exploded.
"I worry that if society becomes peaceful again, the two of them will not be able to adapt to a life without violence" - Sayo sighed.
Even though Sayo doesn't mind killing, she also isn't a madwoman who enjoys murder. Despite that she does not judge Kaede or Shiro, if it were other people who act like that then Sayo would kill them to avoid future threats, but since Kaede and Shiro are part of this strange family she tolerates their madness as long as they do not cross a boundary.
Sayo once talked to me about how to educate our future children so I have taught Kaede that she should only destroy what is an obstacle and not allow murder to become an addiction, in fact, I have subjected her to my personalized training to lose the thirst for blood and thus be able to murder without emitting murderous intent.
The problem will be educating Shiro since her mind is like a totally shattered glass door, I even think there are some pieces of glass missing so with my current skills it is impossible for me to make her regain her sanity, but she is cute so it does not matter.
We continued advancing towards the mansion while every person who pointed a gun at us was mutilated.
Kaede used two of her vectors to cover us while Shiro had the purple hexagons surrounding us putting up a double barrier.
These two girls could make an excellent team, they can both put up defenses, Shiro can focus on attacking from long range with her blood bullets while Kaede uses her vectors at a medium distance.
Then I will train them to fight as a team.
"Is it necessary to be so flashy?" - Sayo asked after seeing how Kaede took out a man's ribs and then stabbed him in the eyes with his own bones.
"No, but you said yourself that it is necessary to have fun for the sake of mental health" - I shrugged as I saw Shiro pierce a man's stomach with a thorn of blood, the man's body began to convulse and then dozens of thorns came out of his body turning him into a sea urchin.
Hmm, Shiro is creative, then I'll try that trick on my black blood.
"This kind of fun is not good for mental health ..." - Sayo whispered wearily.
"Now you understand my headaches" - I smiled.
"Yes, now I understand why you are so bitter" - Sayo smirked.
I could only wince and keep walking.
We reached the inner courtyard of the mansion, I expected to see Soichiro's men armed and ready to attack us, but I didn't think that the survivors would be here too.
A few had pistols, others held knives, some only with clenched fists looked at us with hostility, behind the group of survivors were Soichiro and Shido.
Next to Soichiro was not Yuriko but her new toys Enami and the little girl who used to bully Kaede.
When Enami saw me she made an expression of disgust and disdain as her hand made a subtle gesture that indicated that she was only waiting for my signal to stab Soichiro, I think that after all, I will keep her as a pawn for honey traps. As for the little girl, she only viewed me with contempt and since she did not learn her lesson, she is no longer needed.
I sent a message to Navi. - "Why didn't you tell me that Shido woke up and joined Soichiro?
"Hey Listen! I'm keeping an eye on women to tell you when it's a good time for you to take it! Yuriko is ready, if you come now she will be all yours! " - Navi exclaimed happily.
"Then explain to me, why is Saya tied hostage while Soichiro has a gun against her head?" - Damn shitty dramas.
"Hey Listen! I have no idea!" - Navi was still happy. - "Since you seemed more interested in the mother than in the daughter, I gave priority to Yuriko!"
… I can't deny that.
"How are the rest?" - I looked at all the people present, there are at least 200 people with firearms and 2,000 civilians with the intention of facing us.
What a waste of resources.
"Most of your group have evacuated through the path you marked under Saeko's direction! Only Yuko and Mikoto stayed behind to try to convince Yuriko to accompany them, but she has insisted that she not leave without Saya! I didn't think Soichiro would use his own daughter as a hostage so I didn't care! " - Navi explained.
"Always supervise everything, if you think something is not possible, you have to check it, I just gave you a damn job, but you can't even do that" - I took a deep breath to contain my anger, I can't lose my rationality because of my emotions.
"... I'm sorry" - Navi spoke without her usual cheerful tone.
"Apologies are useless, come here and get between the gun and Saya's head in case Soichiro loses control and shoots Saya" - I looked into Soichiro's eyes and only saw obsessive fury.
It seems that I underestimated the love that Soichiro had for his family, my action of diverting that family love towards authority made Soichiro become an irrational idiot.
Nor did I take into account that my title King of the Lunatics would cause Soichiro's mental degeneration to intensify.
Insanity is too unpredictable, I must be more careful when using my madness manipulation skills or more accidents like this will ensue.
"First you arrive here without the rest of the group, then you use violence to enter killing innocent men who only try to protect this base and its survivors, I will ask you only once ..." - Soichiro looked at me with extreme hatred, it seems that my good relationship with Yuriko put him in a bad mood. - "Are you planning to weaken this base to attract your zombie friends and let them eat the survivors?"
I have to admit, Soichiro has creativity.
"What are you talking about Soichiro? The mission was a failure and a tide of mutants attacked us, part of my team was left behind and I was barely able to escape, besides, what do you mean my zombie friends? " - I asked in an indignant voice as I watched Navi follow my orders to protect Saya.
"Hey Listen! Yuriko is on her way so this is your chance to conquer her! " - Navi sent a message while she was invisible.
Well, it's time to take advantage of Soichiro's instability to get a sexy administrator.
Still, I'll find a method to punish Navi without him enjoying it, the fact that the little jerk turned into a masochist has made it difficult to keep him under control.
