Meeting the Protagonist

From now on, I will use (…) for Lilith's speech.

-----------

Yuuji woke up next morning early like usual and performed his morning routine which consisted of 200 push-ups, squats, situps, and pullups. He couldn't do jogging for now since it was a boarding school.

Finishing with that, he made breakfast for himself, every students get free food everyday but he liked his own cooking more, moreover he could use his aptitude for cooking in a time consuming way.

(Good morning, dear.)

"Good morning."

(What are your plans for today?)

"Nothing special… just training."

Yuuji replied while munching on his breakfast.

(Hmm… shouldn't you approach that girl?)

"Why would I do that?" Yuuji asked absentmindedly.

(Of course, you have to seduce her!)

*Sigh*

"Lilith, it seems that you are misunderstanding something..."

"… I never said that I have romantic feelings for her. I was excited to meet her because I liked her in the anime adaptation. Even if she agrees to date me, there are more variables in play here than you are thinking."

(Like what?)

"I don't think it will work out like this, currently I don't have any feelings for her, there can be some attraction since she is so beautiful, but that's all. Moreover, we don't know if she will accept the concept of polygamy or not."

(You are thinking too much, dear. A woman's feelings doesn't depend on that. This world is going to be plunged into chaos very soon, in any case if she starts developing feelings for you, then I am sure she won't mind you having multiple woman.)

"That sounds like more of a wishful thinking."

(Hehe, don't worry too much, dear. Just focus on doing what you want for now.)

"Yeah, it would'nt be fair for her, if I started dating her without any feelings for her."

(A/n: Character development?)

Yuuji stood up after eating his fill and opened the door to go to his classes.

"By the way, what do you do when you are not talking to me?"

(Fufufu, Aside from being your wife, I am also a queen, so I naturally have many responsibilities.)

"Oh, sorry. Kinda forgot about that!" Yuuji said with a embarrassed expression.

(It just means that you only see me as your woman.)

"You know you're amazing, right?"

(I know, but coming from you, it makes me especially happy.)

Yuuji was moving to his class while casually talking with Lilith.

It takes a few minutes to walk to the main campus from the boy's dorms. The girls dorms building was also beside the boys dorms with the main campus in front.

(Dear, how many days would it take you to beat her at the rate you are learning?)

"I can't exactly tell. But I think one month would be more than enough."

(Really? It seems the aptitude you got was more amazing than we expected.)

"It seems so. I would rather start learning magic too, but I don't have any idea how to start."

(How about using a grimoire?)

"I don't know. Just the complex writing in those gives me headahes."

(That isn't the real grimoire. What dear is referring to are called spell books, they are just a crude work done by mages writing by them for their own rules.)

(A grimoire is a book written by sages to educate the generations in the profound way of magic.)

"Wow, so basically a personal diary and a properly published book."

(It is amusing when you compare it like that.)

"Where can I get a grimoire?"

(You can't just find a grimoire like that. They are extremely rare prize possessed by only a few.)

(Luckily, I have a few of them with me.)

"If it is so rare, why are you giving them away like it is nothing?"

(Since you are my husband, then they belong to you as well.)

Yuuji shook his head at her optimistic way of speaking.

Yuuji felt like she was trusting him too blindingly.

Feeling her trust in him, a feeling of happiness sprouted inside him as his heart skipped a beat.

"Then I will make sure to make good use of it."

The conversation he had with Lilith took only a few moments in reality.

He exited the dorm ground and walked to the front area of the school campus.

Many students were idly chatting with each other and some were just sitting on the benches.

Yuuji took a quick glance over the whole crowd and found out some familar figures.

Nearby a tree, there was a group of students talking to each other. It took a few moments for Yuuji to confirm the identity of the group.

It was the group of Takashi komuro, Rei miyamoto and Hisashi Igou.

Takashi was a guy of average height with brown eyes, spiky black hair which had a brown hue to them. He had a slender yet reasonabaly toned muscles.

Hisashi had gray hair and brown eyes. His build was similar to Takashi but he was slightly taller.

Rei has long, orangy-brown hair with bangs hanging over her face with two strands sticking out above the rest of her hair along with a small, single ponytail on the back of her head which leaves the rest of her hair long and reddish-brown eyes. She also has a slender figure and ample breasts. Her distinctive figure attracted much attention from the male students.

Yuuji considered for a minute and then decided to introduce himself to them. It wasn't necessary, but it was more logical since he knew that Takashi and Rei would be the few of the ones who would survive. It would be most probable for them to work together in future.

With that thought in his mind, he walked closer to them.

Hisashi noticed Yuuji walking over to them and subconsciously wrapped his arms around Rei's slender waist.

She had a confused expression on her face at his sudden actions while Takashi had a rather complicated expression on his face.

''Hey guys, I'm Kazami Yuuji.'' He said while putting his hand out towards Takashi.

Takashi took his hand without thinking much and greeted back: "Hey, My name is Takashi Komuro. He is my friend Hisashi Igou and Rei miyamoto."

Rei and Hisashi nodded towards him in greeting while Yuuji smiled back.

"I just transferred in this school yesterday, so I don't know anybody." Yuuji said while showing a slightly awkward expression.

"Oh, where were you studying before?" Takashi asked with a curious expression.

"I just moved into this city from the countryside." Yuuji said with an embarrassed expression. He couldn't just tell them that he came from another world, right?

"There is nothing wrong with that, in my opinion countryside is better than the cities." Rei commented from the side.

"Thank you, miyamoto-san."

"Which class are you in?" Hisashi asked while still hugging Rei's waist.

"I'm from class 2-B."

"too bad, we all are in class 2-A." Takashi commented with a slightly despondent tone.

"Have you met someone named Miku Yuuki in your class?" Hisashi asked with a slightly aggrieved tone.

Yuuji wondered what would possibly be happened between him and Miku, but he nonetheless answered: "Yeah, she sits beside me in the class, but I don't like her that much."

(Not liking her is quite an understatement here.)

"I figured. She won't possibly let someone like you off." Hisashi said with a sympathetic tone.

Just what the hell happened between them?!!

"Why are you talking about her?!" Rei bellowed while narrowing her eyes at Hisashi.

"I was just worried for him, okay?"

"Hey, what do you think of the rumors about her?" Takashi asked the group absentmindedly while not reading into the atmosphere earning a glare from Rei.

"I don't know, she did ask me to hang out, but I refused from the first time." Yuuji stated while looking at the couple.

"You chose right and used your brain… Unlike a certain someone…" Rei commented with a sharp voice.

So that's what it was all about!!

Yuuji still didn't knew the exact story about what happened, but he could place the pieces together and decipher the basics.

So basically, Miku must've also invited Hisashi for 'hanging out' with her, and as it seems, he accepted. It doesn't take a genius to guess what happened next.

The only question Yuuji had was if this incident happened while Hisashi was dating Rei or before that.

'cause if this happened while he was still dating Rei, and she is still dating him, then she is the most stupid girl in the world, when she could break up with him and date Takashi who also liked her.

Well, he ain't the one to judge, after all some people have some weird fetishes.

"Hey, you wanna hang out with us sometime?" Takashi asked out of the blue.

Yuuji raced his mind to evaluate his time schedule and if he could afford to spend some time with them.

Just a moment later, he turned towards Takashi and said with a smile: "Of course, I think it would be fun."

At the end of the day, Building relationships with those around him was also equally important as training. He knew that he would be cooperating with each other in the future, since killing zombies was one thing and surviving apocalypse another.

Not to mention, it would be bland to mindlessly train and not do anything else. Even he was human, he still had to take a break every now and then.

*Classic school bell*

The bell rang inside the school campus signaling the start of the school, the students started to move inside with their group.

Yuuji's group also started moving inside, since their classes were right by each other.

"Hey, how 'bout we meet after the classes in the recess." Takashi suggested looking at Yuuji.

"Sure, I usually spend my time in recess alone anyways."

"Well, not anymore" Rei said while entering the class in the lead.

After confirming where they were supposed to meet in the recess, Yuuji parted ways with the boys and entered his own classroom.

His mood took full 180 as he found Miku Yuuki at the entrance blocking his way.

"Look who we have here, the handsome guy with the awful temper."

Yuuji raised his eyebrows at her attempt to insult him.

And by the way, what type of lame badmouthing is that?

Even the neighborhood gossiping women roast better than her.

"Would you mind moving your overly used ass from the entrance?" Yuuji said with a Fed up tone. He really didn't wanted to do anything with this girl, but she just keeps coming to get insulted.

"What if I don't? Would you beat me up like that poor guy you beat up yesterday."

A series of whispers broke out in the class as everyone started talking into each other's ears while looking at both of them.

Yuuji took a moment to remember what all the fuss was about, after thinking hard he remembered beating up that guy with her that day.

She must've told everyone something like how he had a bad temper and attacked a 'innocent' student.

"Careful girl, 'cause someday you'll get chocked by all the shit you keep spouting."

"Now you are worrying about me? Don't bother, everyone knows what you did yesterday."

"Really? aww, so you are spreading rumors about me? thank God you know spreading something else other than your legs."

A series of gasps and cheers erupted in the room.

"Woah!!"

"Oh shit!"

"That one hit at the right spot."

"Savage!!"

A girl actually approached Miku Yuuki with a worried expression and asked

"Are you okay, Yuuki-san? Do you want some lotion for that burn?"

With a glare from Yuuki, the girl returned back to her group with nimble steps.

Miku Yuuki greeted her teeth but couldn't come up with a equally impressive comeback.

In the end, she ended up stomping back to her seat with a furious expression while the class has already quietened down.

Yuuji sighed with a helpless expression internally, it's not like he finds it enjoyable to insult someone like this. But when someone is literally daring him to do it, then he isn't so innocent to let go.

With an another helpless sigh, he also moved to his own sweat beside Yuuki.

Unlike usual, she didn't bother him and minded her own business for the rest of the day.

Recess same along and Yuuji decided to go to the destination he agreed to meet up with Takashi's group.

Before going, he took a glance at Miku and saw that she was silently eating her lunch alone.

Sensing his gaze, she looked at him but then immediately looked down at her food.

Yuuji shook his head and decided to just leave the classroom.
