The World Ends With A Fucking Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 4: Family Road Trip!

-April 27th-

"Ah here it is" After a few seconds of searching, I finally found the first aid kit in the kitchen; while I searched for it I heard the hushed voices of Komachi and Sagami. I don't know what they talked about but my name came up so I guess it wasn't a good conversation. I grab the first aid kit along with three bottles of water and went to the living room, avoiding Komachis dead friend "Here" After putting the kit on the table, I gave the other two, who sat on the couch, the water bottles and then they both drank it. I joined them and drank my own, I somehow got so thirsty that I drank myself into a coughing fit, I cleared my throat before talking "Mhm alright let's patch you up" Before I could open the kit Komachi grabbed the kit and took out some of the items.

"I'll be fine on my own Onii-Chan, you can help Sagami-San" She said smiling at Sagami who nodded nervously and went to the kitchen sink. If she says she can handle it then she can handle it I guess. I complied and went to Sagami; going down on one knee I inspected her injury. The blood dried up and the makeshift bandage was starting to loosen up, good thing we made it here quickly.

"You should wash it up first" I stood up and guided her to the bathroom "Here's a towel" I gave her a towel and turned around, I was about to walk to the living room until she grabbed my sleeve, stopping me from moving forward. I turned back and waited for her to say something "What is it?"

"…Are you still mad at me Hikigaya-Kun?" She looked up at me, what's this all of a sudden? "…If you are, that's fine but I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry for slowing you down. Your sister is a really nice girl and I can see why you were really irritated, if I had a little sister like that I would go through anything for her safety" She smiled at me with a smile that's usually not supposed to be her type of smile "…I'm the youngest of the three sisters in my family so I don't know how it feels like having a sibling that cared so you being worried over Komachi-Chan really made me feel…" She trailed off and stared at me; I raise one brow and waved a hand in front of her face which started to go red. She flinched and turned around "A-Anyway I'm fine with you being mad at me but I'll try my best to not burden you more after this" She said and rushed into the bathroom with a slam of the sliding door…last time I check she didn't hit her head, well whatever. I walked to the living room and found Komachi with band aids all over her at the couch, drinking water.

"Is that going to be enough?" I asked.

"Don't worry Onii-Chan they're only small cuts and bruises" She responded putting the drink on the table "Is Sagami-San you're friend?" She asked with a worried tone.

"No she's just following us" I answered, she responded with a relived sigh.

"Phew okay thank goodness, I thought you were the one that caused the apocalypse" Ah? Me befriending someone will start an apocalypse? Is that what you are trying to say my dear Kawaii Imouto? "Jokes aside, is there only you two?"

"No I came with two other people they're at another house in the neighborhood" Wonder if they found it already "You should pack some things that you don't want to lose, we probably won't be coming home again. Pack light though" I looked around at our ruined home, even if we were to stay here our chance of survival will be really low in an already zombified neighborhood haaaah I'll miss the family home even though I usually just stay in my room. Hm now that we're here we might as well pack some food and medicine as well as change into better outfits that suits the situation, these school clothes aren't really suitable for survival especially these school shoes.

"Okay Onii-Chan" She replied forlornly and went to the stairs.

"Ah also you should change into more appropriate clothing, a sporty style should be good" I recommended.

"Heheh never would've guessed that Onii-Chan will give me fashion tips" She laughed unenergetically, I never would've guessed either "Just joking I know what you're talking about" She smiled and walked upstairs. Meanwhile I walked to the bathroom to check on Sagami.

"Hey are you done?" I asked after knocking.

"A-Almost" After a few seconds of waiting she came out "I-I'm done" I nodded and went to the living room followed by her. She sat down on her previous sitting and I sat on the floor. I took out a gauze dressing, a roll of bandages and a bottle of antiseptic from the kit. Before applying all of that stuff I need to dry off her leg so I took the towel from her and gently dry off her leg. The first time I touched a non-family member female was the first time the zombie apocalypse started which was a hug from Yuigahama not so long ago so touching a girls' leg like this somehow makes me feel a little bit awkward "Ngh" And Sagami making grunting sounds is just making it more awkward. After wiping her leg I took the gauze and applied the antiseptic on it, placing it firmly on the wound which made her cringed and shriek a bit. Next I took the bandage and wrapped it over the gauze, making sure it stays intact I used a pin.

"Alright done" I said and put the rest of the unused medical items into the kit.

"Thank you Hikigaya-Kun" She said, smiling that type of smile again.

"…Listen you might have already thought of it but it doesn't look like you're going to turn" I started, sitting down on the table in front of her "We still don't exactly know what will turn someone into a zombie so-" She started crying at that, what the hell?! What did I say?! Did she break down mentally because of the way I treated her before?!

"That means I can see Haruka and Yukko?" Oh… "I can still live right?!" I sighed through my nose a little and nodded, haaaaah…I guess this will happen when someone thinks they're going to die…I was about to leave her alone to cry but a sudden small force stopped me. I looked down to see Sagami on my chest and I can feel her arms around me, w-what the- w-wait- what are- is this "Hearing that from you especially gave me hope" Her muffled voice said, I…gave someone hope? She looked up at me with a blushing teary smile "Komachi-Chan was right about you, you're really nice" What did you talk about with her in that short amount of time, Imouto?! I'm really in a paralyzed physical state right now; her attack is much worse than Yuigahamas! I'm starting to fall into the trap too! She snuggled further into my chest "I wish…I wish someone like you was in my life before, maybe that way I would've…" …what sorcery is this?! My mental state is also getting attacked right now!

"Onii-Chan, I'm done!" The voice of Komachi snapped Sagami out of it and she pushed herself off from me, thank you Kawaii Imouto! Sagami sat there with a red face and looked down on the floor avoiding eye contact, I did the same but I don't know if my face was as red as hers, it feels really warm though "Did I miss something?" Komachi asked with a sly tone. I don't know what you're up to Komachi but it won't work on me! "Oh Sagami-San let me lend you some of my clothes" Komachi said as she stood next to Sagami. She wore a cap, a long sleeved white t-shirt, black track pants and a pair of yellow running shoes. She took Sagamis hand and gently dragged her upstairs.

"I-Is that okay with you?" She managed to ask.

"Of course~ let's just hope we have the same size" She responded and with that they disappeared from my sight and went upstairs. Haaaah okay let's not think about her for a while and pack some food and medicine. I went to the basement and came back up with a duffel bag; I put the first aid kit in and then went to the kitchen. We don't really have that much long preserving food since a lot of it consists of junk food or cooking ingredients however a bunch of canned food can be found in the cabinets! I put the duffel bag on the floor and rummaged through the cabinets.

"That should do it" After making sure some of the food are the ones that won't expire this year I finished packing. I even put in non-canned food seeing as we're returning to the group I might as well pack more so that the canned food wouldn't be eaten by the others, I'm sure they would eat when we return with food…if they didn't search for food that is. Putting the bag on the table I walked towards the stairs. After a couple of steps I met eyes with Sagami.

"H-Hi Hikigaya-Kun" She greeted wearing a simple attire of a white shirt, blue jacket, a pair of black track pants and a pair of running shoes. I can't deny that Sagami looks attractive but before all of this happened her fake personality really made her unattractive but now…seeing her fidget around with a slight red tint on her cheeks made her…cuter "I-I'll wait downstairs!" She said going through the small space between me and the wall…Wait did I thought of a sentence of cute and her? Damn it Hachiman don't fall for the fucking trap! You've went through Yuigahamas cuteness so you should be able go through hers! I continued walking up and went to my room. I changed into a style similar to Sagamis' which consisted of a white shirt, black hoodie, black track pants and a pair of running shoes. Phew that feels refreshing, now I can destroy this with fire later; I folded the soon-to-be-destroyed school uniform and put it on my bed. Ah! Speaking of destroying where did I put my hit list?! I slid open my closet and rummaged through to find it.

"Onii-Chan, are you ready?" I heard Komachi said as she knocked on my door, oh that reminds me.

"Komachi good timing, come in" She did so and I continued to search for the hit list as well as another item "Remember that journal that I bought last year and you said that I won't be using it?" I got a small nod from her "Well now I have a use for it!" I raised the journal that I found and quickly put the hit list in my pocket "There was this one movie that I saw where a guy wrote a book about his journey through the zombie apocalypse and he became rich after humanity restored so if I do well of captivating the readers then after all of this is over we'll be rich!" Well Komachi will be rich if I don't get myself killed, I'll at least make sure of that.

"Haaaaah you have the weirdest priorities sometimes Onii-Chan" Well my priorities right now is first: protecting you, second is to make sure you live an okay life in the future and third getting some of the people in my hit list…if they're zombies…I hope they are "And what if the 'readers' aren't going to be interested in your book?" She finger quoted.

"I'll just make it interesting like…saying I'm possibly dead if you read this message or…making sure the readers think I'm at death doors you know just like that show where they made a lot of cliffhangers" I explained.

"Ugh cliffhangers, well do whatever you want Onii-Chan but I don't know if it will work out like you expect it will" She said as she sat on my bed.

"We'll just have to wait and see" It's a long term plan so I'll have to write some interesting stuff…I should probably throw in some truth in there as well.

"By the way Onii-Chan, you don't need to be mad at Sagami-San anymore okay?" This question made my head turn "I know you were really worried about me but now I'm right in front of your eyes so you don't need to be anxious anymore" She said with a smile and furrowed brows.

"I guess you were talking with her huh?" I stood up and walked towards the window, looking out of it. It's night time now and about to rain, I think it's safe to assume that Sensei and the others are at the local shrine. Damn it, I wish I didn't leave my phone and bag at that shed.

"Well two people in a room will certainly be talking you know?" She deadpanned "I don't know about you but she's a really nice and shy girl" Well she wasn't like that before any of this stuff happened, I still can't get that image of her out of my head but she is changing now so…I guess I'll just tolerate her for now maybe she won't be as annoying like how she used to be…but if she reverts back to that when she gets back with her friends…well I won't be speaking with her when we're in safe zones.

"I'll try not to get mad at her" I said.

"Welp that's all I need to hear" She grinned. She stood up and approached the door. I followed her lead, taking the uniform and we both went downstairs where a sleeping Sagami can be found on the sofa "Oh by the way I hope you don't mind lending Sagami-San your shirt hehehe" She laughed. No wonder that shirt fits her…Ignoring her I went to the basement "What are you doing Onii-Chan?" Komachi asked as we walk down the stairs.

"Finding us some weapons" I answered, Dad wasn't much of a repair man so he doesn't have much tools around which made mom irritated every time we waited for a plumber to take care of a repairing involved problem…heh good times. At the corner of my eye I found a tool box and the only thing I found was a hammer haaaah "Komachi do you think you'll be fine using that iron pipe of yours?"

"Yep I think I will but just in case I'll take this~" She showed me a fishing knife "This basement is like dads' forgotten dreams!" She exclaimed with open arms, oh yeah…I forgot, dad tried fishing and failed horribly…ah now that I think about it he did tried going to go camping in a forest once but unfortunately got lost…Komachi's right, this really is a place for his forgotten dreams. Seconds later I finally found the hatchet! I tied the rope on the hatchet around my waist and made the hammer my main weapon "What about Sagami-San?" Komachi asked. At the bottom of the stairs I found a screw driver.

"This will be perfect for her considering her condition" She can do quick stabs and it won't get stuck and it's durable, she can use these in case she gets too close to the zombies.

"Oh ho~ I see" She said staring at me with a knowing smile.

"Don't get me wrong, I only picked it because it will make her not be a burden" I said.

"Whatever you say Onii-Chan~" She said as she walked up the stairs, haaaaah.

Alright let's check our stuff, duffel bag with medicine and food: Check, weapons: Check, Suitable clothing: Check, School clothing to be burned: Check, I seem to be forgetting something…oh that's right, I walked towards the television and on top of it I took two family pictures from its frame and gave one to Komachi who folded it and put it in her small bag, I put mine in my back pocket. I hope mom and dad are alright. I woke Sagami up by rubbing her shoulder gently "We're moving"

"Okay" She responded, rubbing her eyes. I took the duffel bag from Komachi and asked Sagami.

"Are you going to have problems walking on your own?" She shook her head at that, good "Alright. Komachi you should know that the zombies have a certain weakness" I informed her.

"Really?!" She asked wide eyed.

"They can't see you as long as you don't make a sound" I nodded.

"That's a really big weakness!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah but there are also some abnormal ones out there" This confused her.

"Abnormal?" She asked.

"Yeah, Hikigaya-Kun and the others fought off one, they didn't managed to kill it but it killed two of our guys" Sagami explained shivering at remembering the incident.

"…Yeah so we need to be careful not to make any loud noises and to watch out for the abnormals" I warned.

"How do we know an Abnormal is near?" Good question.

"We don't know, we didn't had time to look for the differences" Her expression dropped at that "Don't worry I'll protect you" I said as I grabbed her shoulders. Hearing my promise she smiled, I smiled back and nodded "We should go now, we're going to search for Zaimokuza and Kawa…Kawasaki and then head towards the local shrine" Slinging the duffel bag on my back I headed towards the door. I turn around and took out the screw driver and gave it to Sagami "Use that when you're bat is gone or broken. Especially if a zombie is too close when it's not available" I instructed her.

"…Thank you Hikigaya-Kun" She expressed with a…warm smile. Dang it why can't you be like this before all of this?! And Komachi stop smiling slyly behind there!

"…You're welcome, let's go" I said as we exited the house.

Tonight there was a light shower but the sound of thunder could be heard booming, I looked up and saw a darker bunch of clouds forming at a near distance. It looks like the rain is going to get heavier "Hikigaya" As soon as I went out of the gate I heard someone call out my name, I put my hand on my hammer and turned around "Put that away, it's us" Oh…Kawasaki? Damn you surprised me; I'm a lot jumpier than I expected, but how come she's here? "What? I live across" She moved out of the way and showed me her house…Well that didn't go as expected; I thought we were going to have a hard time finding her and Zaimokuza…well this is good. She wore a camouflage themed clothing style, camouflage jacket, pants and cap as well as non camouflage running shoes, I'm really tempted to make a camouflage joke but Zaimokuza appeared and kneeled in front of me.

"Hachiman, mission report!" He wore an all black style, a tight black t-shirt over his own brown coat, pants, boots and fingerless gloves. His chuunibyouness must've told him to wear that. The hiking bag on his back caught my attention, looks like they packed up their resources like us.

"Ugh" Komachi and Sagami flinched as they walked besides me; Komachi turned to me with a raised eyebrow.

"Er go ahead" I can feel the girls being grossed out by him. Zaimokuza stood up and step aside revealing a a blue haired little girl wearing the same thing Kawasaki is wearing and a guy who looks like Komachis age also wearing a camouflage style. Next to the little blue haired girl was…a mini Yukinoshita (?) wearing a sport cap, a zipped up red jacket, black sport pants and a pair of running shoes. Our eyes met and…her eyes seem to be dead…...

"After our separation, we entered Kawasaki-Donos' residence and found it in a mess. Although there were many signs of blood and struggle we could not find a single corpse, Kawasaki-Dono rushed upstairs and found these three in this boy's room" He stood up and went to the three "This is-" Before he could speak anymore the sound of an object being crushed could be heard. I instinctively grabbed my hammer and stood in front of Komachi and Sagami, while Kawasaki and Zaimokuza stood in front of the other three with their own bats at the ready.

A couple of feet away from us a zombie was standing on top of a roof of a car, the zombies weight was crushing it and his back was turned to us…an Abnormal? But it doesn't look like the huge guy that we dealt with...let's just hope he doesn't see us. I took everyones' attention by raising a hand, I put a finger in front of my lips and then said 'let's move quietly' without a voice. Everyone nodded and started moving back. I moved backwards and made sure the abnormal stayed in my sight while also looking back from time to time, what was also in my sight was a pile of tin cans that were about to fall-

Wait what?! A pile of cans about to FALL?! Who the fuck placed those THERE and why the heck did it had to fall NOW?!

Before it could fall down I made a mad but silent tip toeing dash towards it and carefully and swiftly put the cans on the ground, putting it one by one instead in a pile. I looked back and sighed in relief together with them. Unfortunately that relief was for a short moment as the trash can on the other side decided to fall over and in an instant our ears were attacked by a loud shriek.

"KKYAAAAAAHHHHH" SHIT, IT'S A DIFFERENT ONE?! I covered my ears and yelled at the others as loud as I could.

"MOVE!" We all ran at the opposite direction of it, the Abnormal still screamed that ear shattering shriek making it difficult to run but the further we ran the more the shriek became quiet "What the-" Ahead of us there was a horde approaching our direction and there were no openings, shit! We'll have to wing it! "Zaimokuza! Kawasaki!" I called out to the two and they nodded. We dash ahead of the group and attacked the horde "Make an opening! Don't waste your time killing them!" I shouted.

"ZAIMOKUZA" Zaimokuza made the first attack "CRUSHER!" and pushed three zombies with the help of his bat to the ground, making another bunch of zombies fall to the ground. What the heck?! A skill?! I don't know how he did it but his battle cry somehow riled me up! Kawasaki moved to aid Zaimokuza, pushing off the zombies that almost caught him behind his back. I used my hammer and bashed every zombie I could on the head, making sure I don't waste energy and time. I looked around and it looks like the others can run through and wait on the other side.

"Guys move there!" I shouted to the others, they nodded and did so. They ran in and we three did our best to make sure they weren't in the zombies reach, after a couple of long excruciating seconds they finally reached the safe side "Alright you two let's get out of here!" I yelled pushing off a zombie and ran while also bashing off the zombies that were in my way.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" FUCK! THAT ABNORMAL AGAIN?!

I looked back and found the screaming Abnormal a couple feet away behind the horde, looks like it isn't as fast as the other zombies.

"LET'S GO!" I ran forward and led everyone while also looking back from time to time making sure everyones still here.

When we were far enough and its scream can't be heard anymore we stopped running to catch our breath. We were at the side of the road nearby the shopping district; I lift my head up and looked towards where we ran from. It doesn't look like they'll be chasing us this far. Phew…good…alright 2…4…6…8 okay everyone's here "Everyone alright?" I asked as I approached Sagami who was panting hard and check her bandaged leg. Haaaah it started bleeding again what a waste… I guess moving pass that horde without a scratch was too much to expect.

"I'm sorry Hikigaya-Kun…" I looked up at Sagami who looked at me with furrowed brows "Even though I said I wouldn't be a burden anymore…" She looked down in disappointment after saying that. Sheesh I can't handle this kind of sudden character development. The rain started getting heavier and we're all tired even though we just took a moment to take a breather at our respective home, at this rate we won't be able to get to the shrine…we'll have to rest somewhere safe for now and the gas station is the only place I've seen that's scarce of zombies, we'll have to settle there for now considering our current status. I turned towards Kawasaki who just piggy backed the little blue haired girl who was crying and then I looked towards the boy behind her who also had the little Yukinoshita look alike on his back…she still has that dead expression from before. Komachi and Zaimokuza were catching their breath. Until now I didn't even notice we all have injuries now, must be from passing through that horde, ugh my back hurts…

"Onee-Chan…" The little blue haired girl cried hugging Kawasaki, in a shivering mess.

"Don't worry Keika, we'll be fine. Taishi, are you and Rumi okay?" She asked the two behind her.

"Yeah we're fine" He replied.

"Alright…We need to get somewhere safe to rest first Hikigaya" She said to me.

"Yeah, I know that" I reach out my hand to Sagami "Let's go" Let's hope there's still running water at the gas station.

"…Yeah" She nodded, not looking at me and took my hand. I pull her up and then turn to Komachi.

"Komachi sorry but can you carry this?" She nodded and took the duffel bag, next I turned towards Zaimokuza "Zaimokuza I'll carry the bag and you'll carry Sagami" We'll need to hurry up; being in the rain any longer could make us sick.

"Yes Hachiman" He gave me the hiking bag and Sagami without a word let Zaimokuza carry her on his back. This bag is a lot heavier than I expected but I'll manage. It looks like they have a lot more supplies than us.

"Alright we're heading to the gas station" Everyone nodded and we started moving forward.

Haaaaah so much happened in one day, I need to get some sleep after all of this, I probably also should keep one eye open and keep an eye out for Komachis safety, oh and get some food while I'm at it. I think it's already pass 7 o'clock after all of that chaos….I didn't care about time and focused on surviving with Komachi, so it might even be midnight already…. Hiratsuka-Sensei is so going to beat me up for that, I guarantee it. After going through the same route we finally reached the gas station. We're lucky there were no Abnormals on the way but we made a lot of noise from running though, I wonder why the zombies didn't hear us…could it be because of the rain? It was really heavy so maybe that's the reason hmmm…

"Alright we'll have to rest here for now" I said as I open the doors and entered the convenience shop near the gas station, as expected most of the resources here are already taken, I hope Hiratsuka-Sensei and the others were the ones that took them. After everyone entered I closed the doors and barricaded it with some of the empty shelves with the help of Zaimokuza. Looks like there's still electricity at least we can warm up here from the rain. After that I checked on everyone "Komachi" Putting the hiking bag on the counter, I approached Komachi who was lying on the floor and was about to check if she has any injuries.

"I'm fine Onii-Chan, I just need to rest that's all" She answered readily with a lethargic smile, I nodded and took the duffel bag and, after taking out the first aid kit and making sure it was positioned on the soft spot, put it under her head "Thanks" She smiled, I nodded and then turned to Sagami who sat against the wall, catching her breath. I took out a water bottle from the bag and gave it to her.

"Here" I extended my arm and she took the bottle from my grasp.

"Thank you" She thanked before gulping down the drink "Um I'll patch it up myself alright, Hikigaya-kun?" She asked after she finished drinking half of the bottle.

"…Fine by me" I responded. She nodded and went to the restroom…Wait, why did I even help her before…? Oh right Komachi told me to do so….

"Hachiman, shall I update you on our current situation?" Zaimokuza appeared besides me as I stood up.

"No but" I walked towards Kawasaki and the other three with the first aid kit "Let's continue where you left off" I said as I sat down on the floor and gave the boy some bandages for the mini Yukinoshita. She still has that dead expression on her face, I was expecting her to at least talk but she's raising her arms for us to bandage so at least that's a good sign that she's still with us.

"Understood, this here is Kawasaki-Donos little sister, Keika Kawasaki" He said standing besides Kawasaki who is currently bandaging up Keika "And this man here is Kawasaki-Donos little brother, Taishi Kawasaki" He said approaching us.

"I-It's nice to meet you" Taishi said to me as he put the items back into the kit.

"The little girl's name is Rumi Tsurumi, unfortunately we could only get her name" That's weird. At the end of that sentence Tsurumi stood up and went to the back of the store.

"When I was running towards our home with Keika, we found Rumi in the middle of the playground on the swing sets alone" Taishi said after she disappeared from our sight "Something must've happened to her" He whispered. Yeah I think that's obvious.

"…Hikigaya can you take care of her?" I turned towards Kawasaki who was embracing Keika as she slept with a tired expression "I don't think she should be alone right now…she needs help" She reasoned with a worried tone and looked at me with a worried expression. You're asking me?! I was about to turn towards Zaimokuza but knowing his chuunibyouness he doesn't seem to be the good alternative but what about Taishi he's been with her the most right? I turned towards him.

"How about you do it?" I asked. I don't think a kid likes to see a man with eyes like mine.

"Um well I don't think I'll be doing much" He said rubbing the back of his head.

"Haaaaah fine" I don't think my presence will help her though, I stood up and went to where Tsurumi went "Hey…" She sat on the floor in a fetal position, crying with her eyes open but no expression could be found on her face "Er…"not sure what to say next I just took a sit nearby and put a water bottle in front of her "Here…" After a few seconds she took the bottle without a word and drank it slowly "…I'll be here if you need someone" I said as I crossed my arms and legs. Several minutes passed by and I could hear chatter at the front meanwhile I still sat here and Tsurumis' tears dried up but no obvious changes could be seen…

"Hey…" I snapped out of my dozing and turned towards Tsurumi "Do…you know…what it feels like…when you lost someone precious to you?" She questioned.

"…No I can't say I do…and I won't say I would like to feel it" I haven't lost Komachi so I wouldn't know…but I do know that I don't want to experience that. She lost someone precious…and at such a young age too… "…You don't mind me asking…who you-"

"My family" She answered without waiting.

"…I-" She interrupted me.

"I murdered them" She said.

"…Huh?" I uttered.

"I killed them, mom and dad. The only two people who loved me and I killed them using a drill!" She covered her face, tears flowing from her eyes like a river again "P-Please tell me t-that I'm not alone" She wept as she tried to wipe away the endless streams of tears and trembled. This is a dilemma...I don't know what to say if the matter concerns of a child afraid of being alone…until the voices of the others at the front reached my ears that is.

"…I can tell you that in this kind of group you won't be alone" I'm not sure about chances of survival but I'm pretty sure a group of high school teenagers will treat her like a little sister, she stopped trembling at that…hearing that must've comforted her in some way I guess "…But I should also tell you that now that the world is going to be like this you have to prepare yourself to be alone" I'm saying this for the both of us…I don't think it'll be easy for me to prepare myself when I lose Komachi…

"I don't think I can" She said, lowering her head.

"…You will eventually" I think it's better to make her see reality rather than having her see someone she holds dear in the future die and break her again.

"Onii-Chan…Rumi-Chan?" Komachi called as she approached us "We're having dinner now so wanna join us?" She smiled at us.

"Okay" I stood up and was about to follow her but I turned to see Tsurumi still sitting there "Tsurumi?" She didn't respond and only looked down. Haaaah…I approached her and took her hand. She flinched at the touch but I continue and gently dragged her to the front while saying "Like I told you you'll never be alone in this kind of group" A kid like her shouldn't be alone but she should also be prepared to be alone….I'll make sure of it.

"Hachiman! Rations are in order" Zaimokuza greeted us as we all spread out to sit in a circle starting with Kawasaki, Taishi, Keika, Tsurumi, Komachi, me, Sagami and ending with Zaimokuza.

"Oh~ just like in the movies" Taishi said as we passed the food to each other.

"Rumi-Chan you wanna eat the green ones? It's my favorite but you can have mine!" Keika said, showing Tsurumi a plate of vegetables and beef.

"Keika, I know sharing is good but you shouldn't share too much from now on" Kawasaki ordered as she looked for something at the counter.

"Then I'll just share some of mine" She pouted.

"T-That's alright you don't need to share" Tsurumi intervened.

"Are you sure?" Keika asked Tsurumi who nodded at the question "Okay~" She said and returned to eating. Well looks like this kid is doing fine even with the situation we're in, Kawasaki must be good at support.

"Here you go Rumi-Chan" Kawasaki smiled, giving Tsurumi a cup of warm drink "It's hot chocolate" Perfect! I was getting damn cold.

"T-Thank you…" Tsurumi stuttered as she took the cup.

"Make sure you eat up until there's nothing on the plate alright Rumi-Chan? Energy is the most important thing of everyday!" Komachi cheered as she ate her food.

"…You did something nice again" Sagami quietly said to me as she ate.

"I would consider what I did a normal thing to do" Plus making sure a kid knows that she will be alone in the future doesn't seem to be very nice to me. She didn't respond to any of that and just ate with a smile….

After eating the delicious dinner and that warm cup of chocolate, everyone settled down and rested, some were sleeping and some were talking with each other. Meanwhile I looked through the shop looking for anything that could help in the long run.

There's the microwave, Kawasaki probably used that for dinner.

Hey some ice cream…ugh it's melted whoever took off the plug must've didn't like ice cream…well I'm full anyway plus I want the beef taste to remain in my mouth just for a little more.

The digital clock on the counter say that it's 12 45 AM…didn't knew so much time passed by…welp not much at the counter except for some cigarettes hmmm I wonder if Hiratsuka-Sensei quit smoking…

At the supply room there were only some boxes that contained cleaning stuff…. Haaaah I guess there's nothing here that's useful.

"Why don't you rest a little Hikigaya-Kun?" Sagami asked as soon as I exited the supply room.

"I'll rest when I need to" I answered and passed by her, wonder what she wants. I walked back into the main room where everyone is asleep save for Zaimokuza standing by at the main entrance reading a manga "I'll take watch"

"Understood" He saluted and went to the counter, laying his back on it.

"Are you two friends?" Sagami asked. You're still here?

"No" I took a sit on the floor Zaimokuza stood at, leaned my back on the counter and kept watch for any dangerous elements nearby while Sagami just stood beside me, the rain was still heavy and it was a bit chilly despite already turning off the air conditioner. After a few minutes Sagamis presence irked me to ask her "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm not sleepy yet" What? After all the things we've been through?

"Then go sit somewhere and close your eyes, we all need the energy from now on" She took a sit on the floor and then leaned her back on the counter, she sat really close to me making our arms in contact with each other. What the-Why would you pick here out of all places?!

"This should be okay right?" She asked, closing her eyes with a smile. G-Guh…I can't think of a response, I stayed silent and continued my watch…Sagami made it a little bit warmer…
