5.Seducing The DEAD!

[[5.Seducing The DEAD!]]

[[Shizuka's POV]]

Upon waking up, Yuki-chan smiled with a massive blush on her cheeks. It was a wonderful sight, but it was something wrong too.

"Good morning, Yuki-chan." I greeted her lazy smile with a tentative one. Propping myself up with my arm, I felt my bedsheets slide off my body.

"Good morning, Shizuka-nee." She greets back as she leans forward. Unsure of what she was doing, I stayed in place, and did so until we were inches apart, where it was too late for me to realize her lips being gently placed on mine.

Frozen from surprise, I didn't even realize that Yuki-chan broke away from me, a grin now adorning her lips. I never thought that Yuki-chan would do something like this, to be bold enough to take action after what we had gone through yesterday. There was a chime that went off in my head too, but I ignored for now.

"Thank you for staying with me. I...haven't slept that well in...forever actually." Yuki, with her grin turning into a sad smile, confessed. This immediately turned the weird atmosphere around us gloomy, and I didn't like that.

As Yuki-chan has looked away after she confessed her sadness, I had to place a hand to her cheek to get her to look at me.

"Then I'll always stay by your side so that you could always wake up with a smile." Staring deep into her eyes, I meant to convey how sincere I was with what I had said. Just to make her smile, I'll do anything. And, sadly for me, I hadn't realized how my words sounded to Yuki-chan.

Tearing up, Yuki-chan sniffed a bit. Eyes glazed, Yuki-chan smiled as she took a deep breath.

It was barely a whisper, but I still heard her "Thank you.", and I was glad that I was able to take away Yuki-chan's sadness away.

[[3rd Person's POV]]

Breakfast was a calm moment for Shizuka and Yuki, with Shizuka cooking for both her and the teen. They conversed, both avoiding any subject about Yuki's past and troubles.

Shizuka had already called in and had informed Fujima High School's principal that she wouldn't be in because of a family emergency, while Yuki, with records of skipping school -so that she could hide from Koichi-, had said nothing and remained with Shizuka. The ditzy nurse had, then, made sure that Yuki was happy at all times, but being the klutz that she was, she had occasionally tripped about, even in her own home. Though it did make Yuki laugh, so the blonde didn't mind it much.

As they spent their time together, Shizuka had discreetly been pointing out how Yuki was mentally unstable. Shizuka was just an ER nurse, and had not studied in psychology, so she didn't know how to properly go on about Yuki's problem. The nurse just hoped that Derierei would help her out in this.

For the whole of the morning, they continued to speak with one another, until Yuki began talking about her favorite snacks! Shizuka was immediately spouting on and on about her own favorites, which soon evolved into a promise of them going out.

"Why don't we go to Taiei Shopping Town? It isn't too far from here." Shizuka, with her usual airy voice, suggested.

Yuki, with her hair now more tame and not like how it previously was, styled into a tousled wavy bob, put on a contemplative look. Wearing Shizuka's yellow, over-sized shirt, was leaning against the nurse as they idly played with each other's toes.

"Can we?" The orange-haired teen was actually itching for some Pocky, but she didn't have any money to use. Actually, she °did° have money, only it was her "cut" from selling pictures of her naked body, but to her, it felt like blood money, and it disgusted her, especially when everything was her being forced to do this against her will.

"Sure. I don't know much about what my friend had done, but I'm sure you could stay the night here again, so I'll have to buy more ingredients for dinner!" The blonde unconsciously snuggled against Yuki, and even if she was taller than the teen, the angle had allowed Shizuka to be able to perfectly fit her head in-between Yuki's shoulder and neck.

"Yay!" Exclaimed Yuki as she felt Shizuka leave her side. With Shizuka, now sadly off of her, Yuki got up from the couch and stretched her arms up, which caused to make her breasts to look bigger than they already do.

"I'll prepare the bath for you then." Simply stated Shizuka as she went to the bathroom, not at all noticing the teen watching her bubble butt jiggle and sway along the way.

"Hey! There's no need for that! I'll do it myself!" Feeling a bit ashamed, Yuki tried to stop Shizuka from doing anything else for her. She had already guessed, from how the nurse acted, that Shizuka would buy her anything she wanted, and it stung Yuki a bit. It made her feel worthless. Here was Shizuka, her savior, doing everything just to stop her from falling into depression -Yuki had already realized what the nurse was diong-, and yet she was doing nothing to help her out.

Shizuka, on the other hand, was about to argue with Yuki that it was just her trying to be a good host, but she stopped herself when something popped up.

A bit hesitant, Shizuka relented to Yuki's puppy eyes and made way for the younger girl. Said teen beamed and went inside the bath.

As Yuki entered the bath, Shizuka sighed in relief as a holo-screen was now floating in front of her.

{{Good morning, Shizuka. I am, once again, sorry for having left you to deal with Miku-san all alone.}} The message read, and Shizuka beamed at this. For whatever reason, she was getting better and better at realizing Derierei's emotions through her messages. It had not been three days, hell, a whole day hadn't passed if you count how long Derierei was with Shizuka, but the blonde was slowly starting to get a better grasp at her invisible? friend's personality. For now, Shizuka felt that Derierei was brash and easily annoyed, but can be...cool, as the children these days say. And sometimes, she was curious if she °did° have a low EQ as her Status had said if she was able to get a grasp on Derierei's personality!

'Good morning to you too, Derierei-chan. I'm glad to...read from you again.' Now mostly used to speaking with Derierei through her mind, Shizuka was able to calmly talk with Derierei like this.

{{Mmm. If that was a pun, you suck. Anyway, I see you have yet to have used your rewards. Oh. And that you've been doing good raising Miku-san's affection. We'll have to talk about that by the way.}}

Walking back to the couch, Shizuka read the message and agreed that they had to discuss about Yuki. The girl obviously had problems, and Shizuka wanted to know how to fix it.

'Can we talk about Yuki-chan first? We'll deal with my...rewards later. I want to know if I could do something for her.' Shizuka pleaded to her friend, ignoring the fact that she had done a lot for the girl already. But, it was just a testament on how much she thinks about other people's health, even if it was a bit stupid and too humble.

{{Alright. Miku is a victim of blackmailing. And not only that, but her naked body has been seen by a multitude of people without her consent. The former is already traumatizing for a teen, but the latter is just more painful. This had also been happening for around nearly a year and a half, since she was 15. All that would surely scar anybody.

But, worst of all, we don't know what the bastard had done to her. Of how much damage he caused to her mind. Luckily enough, I have checked her body and found no physical abuse, and her virginity is still there. If that were ever forcefully taken away from her, I'm sure she'd go crazy.

Though, I am confused that she still has it. If someone would have blackmail material of a girl like Miku, I would have guessed that they would have done worse things to her.}}

Shizuka agreed with Derierei's words. Though she was grateful that Yuki still has her chastity -it was something most women cherished-, she had to think realistically and question °why°. Koichi had something he could use to force Yuki to do whatever he wanted, and sex would be on that list -since he did sell Yuki pictures of her naked body-, and yet, she was still "pure".

{{Well, all I'll say is Miku's future could still be great, thanks to your interference.

But, let's focus on the topic of Miku's mental condition. She is traumatized, and is most likely broken, and is causing herself to live in an illusion.

You, Marikawa Shizuka, had saved Miku Yuki at her lowest, when she was losing hope. You saved her after a year and a half of mental torture, and it's something she is grateful for. However, due to her mental instability, you have become something more than just her savior in her broken mind. Heck, she probably thinks she owes you her life.}}

With her elbows on her knees, hands clasped together and her chin resting on them, Shizuka read the message with utmost seriousness. At all points, the nurse agreed with Derierei. But this did not answer her question. However, reading her mind or not, Derierei was quick to add more of her thoughts.

{{I suggest that you sit down with Miku, and just talk to her about this while full-blown blasting [Soothing Charm] at her. It would stop her from overreacting.}}

And just like that, they began to have a serious discussion of their plan. And when Yuki left the bathroom, clad in only towels, Shizuka just gave Yuki her old and smaller clothes, which she had prepared while discussing with Derierei, and smiled at the teen as she went to the bath.

Then, while in the bath, a new subject arose.

{{Since we now have a good grasp on how we'll deal with Miku, let's check on your rewards.}}

As Shizuka was submerged in the tub, with the bubbles hiding her mouth-watering naked body, she hummed a gentle tune while conversing with Derierei.

"Okay." The nurse agreed vocally. She was "alone" in the bathroom, safe and secure, so she was able to speak freely with her friend. Though she could speak to her through her mind, Shizuka liked it better when she used her voice.

{{Here.

✓}Reward/s

1. ] 2 Skill points

    ] +30 Affection points

2. ] ???(Skill: Soothing Charm)

3. ] +10% Affection

    ] 2 Stat points

4. ] ???(Skill: Knife Mastery)

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

I'm already know that you wouldn't know much about these, so I'll explain. Hopefully I can do better than last time.

Okay, I'm sure you can guess the difference between the Affection points and the Affection, right? And what they do?}} Derierei/Asterix was sure that someone like Shizuka, who had not played video games, would be confused by these, so she had prepared early on.

Shizuka nodded, as even if she was a ditzy klutz, she wasn't a nurse for nothing. She understood the difference between the Affection points and the one with a percentage on it. Actually, Derierei having to question her on that made her pout!

{{Just checkin' just checkin'. Anyway, next up are the Skill points and Stat points. Basically, it's like a cheat. Status points raises your stats without the need to work hard on them. Though actually, even if it was rewarded, you still worked on getting them. But, back to the topic, the Stat point would be an instant boost to one of your Stats'er attributes, if that's what ya want to call'em, and the Skill points work on the same principle.}}

Throughout Derierei's explanation, Shizuka began to thoroughly clean her body. And, if Derierei were visible, she would have seen her friend blatantly watching her bathe. But Shizuka didn't need to know that.

"So I can use these stat points to raise my strength to carry more groceries!?" After having completely read her friend's explanation, Shizuka got a bit excited now. She was weak, the System said she was weak, people called her weak, and she knew she was weak. But with this heaven-defying stat points, she could carry more groceries! Which means she wouldn't have to go back-to-back to her car, climb the stairs with heavy bags, and go back to her car to carry other heavy bags and feel so tired!

And, hearing Shizuka's thoughts, Derierei could only shake her head with a wry smile as sat right on the edge of the bathtub.

{{Yeah. You could do that.}} Derierei couldn't do anything else and just replied.

"Aww~! Then let's rais some stats! Yeee~!~yyy~?" From excitement, to confusion, Shizuka put a finger on her cheek as she tilted her head a bit. It was a cute gesture, something that Derierei was quite happy to see, but Shizuka had unconsciously done this because she got confused.

"But how do I do that?" The blonde asked as she finally stood up from her tub, showing off her marvelous figure. Derierei/Asterix thought that Shizuka should be proud of her bountiful breasts, but she had an image of Shizuka complaining their size while stupidly fondling them.

{{Go to your Status screen and just pick what attribute you want to raise. That's all.}} The Higher Being controlling behind the System helpfully informed.

"Oh! OK!" The blonde, while opening up her Status screen, started to try herself off, still not knowing that Derierei was right there, just watching her. Though, the woman herself thought enough was enough and looked away from Shizuka. Derierei was starting to feel like a creep, so she just stopped.

Then, having dried herself up and wrapping the towel around her, Shizuka finally opened her Status screen and focused on her attributes.

==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

Level = 1

STR: 4.1¬4.2/10

AGI: 2.3/10

DEX: 7/10

CON: 2¬2.1/10

INT: 50

WIS: 41¬48

Unassigned Status Points: 2

==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

Though miniscule, there were some improvements, with her wisdom gaining a lot more than the rest. However, Shizuka noticed the new addition quicker than she realized that some of her attributes were raised.

Excited at the prospect of sudden strength gain, Shizuka was about to put all her status points on Strength when she suddenly remembered about her other attributes.

"Hey Derierei-chan?" The nurse had decided to ask for her friend's help in this matter, but she should have known better that Derierei would be one step ahead of her, with her knowing what she thinks and all.

{{Putting your points on your Constitution would be better. More stamina, faster recovery, it just the better choice right now. Strength wouldn't mean much if you get tired easily.}} Since she was "asked", Derierei easily gave her input on the matter. And Shizuka, knowing that Derierei had never done her any wrong, followed her friend's suggestion.

"Okay. Constitution it is~!" A *ding* came after, and Shizuka suddenly felt better!

"Woah~!" The blonde nurse exclaimed in glee, noticing how much better her body felt. She even swayed her hips as she flailed her arms about.

Derierei smiled to herself, happy that Shizuka was also happy. Shizuka really was starting to burrow herself into her heart.

{{I don't mean to be a party pooper, but you still got something to do with Miku. I would have also issued a mission, especially with helping out with Miku's mental state, but I'm still fixing some stuff with the System itself.

The Tutorial shouldn't have given you a mission like that. It's something you wouldn't be able to complete, and even the skill given to you wouldn't have been able to help you on the tutorial. And even your [Starter Pack] hasn't been given to you yet.}}

Shizuka had gone to her room while Derierei "talked", waving at Yuki along the whole way, not realizing how much it affected to young girl and ignoring another *ding*. The nurse went straight for her closet while she read what her friend wrote, not really caring about what she'll wear. Then she just hummed right after

[[3rd Person's POV]]

While Shizuka and Yuki were window shopping, holding a bag filled with sweets, Derierei had shrinked herself and was sitting atop Yuki's left shoulder, which was sticking to Shizuka's as she had wrapped her arm around the young teen's. As they chattered, Derierei focused on fixing the System.

Since this System was new, only one of its kind, it had a lot of bugs and glitches. And it was a good thing that she aas able to fix them now because this would be the same System her other hosts would be using. In truth, the System wasn't Love Live: Yuri Edition System, but rather, the Ironic Systen. As its name suggests, this System would focus on something that would be completely different than intended. Like here, in an anime universe where earth would be overrun by zombies and should have had a System based on fighting or survival, it was based on romance.

Still, Derierei was giddy because she was nearly done fixing the known problems and she had a mission to give! And it didn't take long for the System to be up and running, causing Derierei to jump from joy! Then, with that moment of joy turning into mischief, she immediately issued the mission!

__/__/__/

With the sudden appearance of a holo-screen in front of her, Shizuka was more surprised that she hadn't yelped! It seems that she was quickly adapting to this System when it was unheard of! Splitting her focus on chattering with Yuki, on her path, and now reading what the screen had, Shizuka was a bit disoriented, but still fine.

'A mission?' Shizuka asked herself while slowing down and taking a glance at the shop to her right. The mission seemed simple enough. She only needed to befriend these two, frustrated?, wives. Nothing to it. As emotionally stunted Shizuka was, making friends wouldn't be that hard for her. The only problem to that is how to find these two.

{{No need to worry about that. The System has a mini-map function that is currently turned off. Here, I'll turn it on for you.}} Derierei, ever the diligent guide?, had been one step ahead and, within a moment, a circle with different colored dots and different shapes in it appeared °inside° Shizuka's eye! But, like a champ, she didn't let its sudden weird appearance faze her.

{{This is a mini-map. It shows everything in a half a mile radius from your current position. It outlines structures in orange, and the dots would be different sentient beings.

The different colors signifies:

Grey: Unimportant/Neutral/Mob

Yellow: You

Green: Allies/Friendly

Blue: Targets

Orange: Enemies

Black: Powerfull Enemies

Brown: Possibly Important

You'll find them through this. And to enlarge, just focus on it and would appear on a screen and could go as far as encompass the whole world if you zoom out. And, well, that's that.}}

While the explanation was being "typed", Shizuka was able to convince Yuki to let them sit on a nearby bench. Then, distracting Yuki with a crepe they had bought earlier, Shizuka was finally able to focus on the explanation.

When finished, Shizuka was excited to check the mini-map, but another holo-screen popped up in front of her.

{{Btw(By the way, by the way), I suggest you use [Innocent Intentions] when meeting them to better your chances at a great first impression. Even if it didn't do anything for your previous mission, it would work here. And I believe in you! I'll make sure that you and Yuki will be safe!}}

Smiling to herself, Shizuka was glad that Derierei was there to guide her. She always felt that if Derierei wasn't with her, she'd take years to understand what this was. Then, after finishing Derierei's message, Shizuka got to finally check the mini-map, only to let out a startled noise.

"Eh~?" Shizuka never would have thought that her targets would be right beside her.
