Chapter-51<*The Passing of Time*>

After taking care of Gin, the group returned to the meeting point and after a few minutes waiting for the vehicles to return to pick them up, they returned to the military camp.

"That was faster than I thought"-Saeko said seeing that the group had returned but she was surprised when she noticed the blonde's appearance-"What happened to you?!"

"Just a tough fight..." Cloud muttered tiredly "Let's just say I'm fucked up..."

"He broke his limit"- Rika said calmly- "In an impressive way I have to say"

"I see..." -the Kendo champion agreed-"I think he needs a good bath and a long rest..."

"That's what I was thinking..." - murmured the blonde who could barely keep his eyes open.

"I got this!" Shizuka said with a smile.

"I was thinking of doing it myself but if you insist" - Saeko just shook her head.

"Come on, Cloud-chan~!" -Shizuka said as she supported him on her shoulder and walked him towards the residence they were using- "Uff... you weigh so much... if I keep this up, I'm going to need a bath too..."

"I'm sorry..." - Cloud murmured as he tried to move on his own but the tiredness was too much - "And I have to repeat this at least 2 more times..."

"Did you say something?" Shizuka asked in surprise.

"No... just that I'm exhausted..." . the blond boy replied.

"A warm shower and you'll be good as new~"-Shizuka smiled as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks-"Maybe we can?"

". . ." - Cloud was now having a moral debate. To rest because he was completely tired or to accept the proposal of his beloved blonde nurse-"We'll see later..."

"Hai~!" - Shizuka just gave him a small kiss on the cheek as the two continued walking towards the bathroom.

"You did?" Kiriko asked her daughter when she noticed that she didn't have that jealous look that she always had when she talked about the blonde.

"In an unorthodox way..." - answered the girl with a sigh.

"Do you regret what happened?" her mother asked again.

"No…somehow I feel like everything is easier now…" Rei said as she shook her head, "Although I'm not going to lie…I still don't like that I have to share"

"To no woman, daughter" - Kiriko replied with a smile - "To no woman..."

* * * * *

Time continued to move forward and a month flew by like nothing happened.

Thanks to the efforts of the army, and the help of the Search and Rescue Force, a large part of the city's population managed to be rescued.

During this time, some things had improved.

Much of the city had been completely cleaned, enabling the possibility of a peaceful population, although of course, it was still necessary to stand guard so that the zombies did not return to those areas and thus spread the virus again.

Cloud's group relationship was much more harmonious. Rei and Saya were no longer so possessive with the blond, although they still argued constantly, it seems that time managed to calm them down.

Saeko kept training all this time, she was feeling that she was finally reaching her limit and was waiting for an opportunity.

Rika was also a little calmer, now she talked with the other women, although she was almost always with Shizuka. It seemed that the two of them had returned to the way they were, although there were times where the purple-haired woman would give discreet glances at her friend.

Yuriko was the happiest of the group. Since his daughter's incident with that little orgy, the pressure he felt for having slept with the blond had disappeared and after a little conversation between the two Takagi women, everything had returned to normal.

Kyoko and Miku had started their physical training to be able to at least defend themselves in case something happened, after all, if someone wasn't around to help them, they would have to do it on their own.

Takashi and his family were at peace, even a week before, Takashi had come to inform them that he was going to be a father, which wasn't too strange knowing that he and his girlfriend looked like rabbits now that they didn't have to be running away. Kaede was the happiest in this whole situation because she wanted to have a grandson to pamper because it was the best news she had received since she was rescued by her son's friends.

Kohta and Asami were closer than ever, to the point that they only separated to go to the bathroom. Life was finally smiling at the young man with glasses.

Cloud on the other hand, had reached the maximum level allowed in level 1 worlds, level 20. His Skills had also leveled up, though like his two other masteries, [Hand to Hand Combat], it had been stuck at level 9. , showing that in order to get to level 10, he needed to break the limit again in a critical situation.

Referring to his quests, he only had a little less than two weeks left to complete his mandatory and optional quests. The rescue mission had been completed 3 weeks ago, currently standing at [1234/400], greatly exceeding the maximum number allowed, although all those additional rescued people will not influence the final reward, but rather an increase in their " Karma Points" as had been informed in advance.

"Is something wrong, Cloud-chan?" Shizuka asked as she walked towards where her boyfriend was.

The group was resting after their last mission where they had managed to rescue a group of women held captive by a gang of rapists.

Cloud could only shake his head at how people had changed in just over a month.

Rapists, Cannibals, Cultists, even traffickers, were a daily occurrence in "Hell" as they called it. Women prostituting themselves for protection, children devouring others their own age, even the elderly did not come out healthy from all this madness. He had lost count of how many times they had been played because of an old man who lied, just so he could get the weapons from him when it was all over.

"It's nothing..." - denied the blonde - "I was just thinking about how much we've changed since it all started"

This was true. The members of the group had changed for the better.

The girls were in better physical condition and he had to admit that this world was strangely wonderful because their breasts and hips had grown. He had to give the creator credit for creating these kinds of laws because it seemed that they were much sexier the stronger they were.

"I just hope I don't change much more…" Shizuka murmured as she cupped her big breasts "Because I can't find any underwear that fits me anymore, in fact, I feel like this one is already getting too tight"

". . ." -Cloud did not expect this data but he was well received.

"General Amami said to prepare things for our last mission"-Shizuka said as he looked at his blonde boyfriend.

"Again?" - Cloud sighed with a frown - "He said that our previous mission would be the last..."

"He said this time would be the last…" Shizuka said with a forced smile. She had repeated this phrase at least twice.

"Well..." - the blonde snorted - "When do we go out?"

"In two days" - Shizuka replied.

"Ok... I'm going to tell the others so we can finish this" - the blonde sighed - "I just hope this is really the last time... wait a second... why do they have to inform me? when is Yuriko the one in charge of these operations?"

"Because she nominated you as leader two days ago...don't you remember?" Shizuka asked in surprise.

"No... actually, it's the first time I've heard of it. If it was two days ago, it was just when we came back from our 'Last Mission'..." - Cloud replied with a frown. - "Why didn't anyone inform me?"

"That must be Saya-chan's job" - answered the beautiful blonde nurse.

"As you can see, she didn't say anything to me…" Cloud said as he stood up, "Where is she?"

"Saya-chan has to be with Yuriko-san in the bathroom" - Shizuka said - "They were training until recently"

"I guess I'll have to wait a bit" - the blond sighed. Yes OK. he had had sex with the two Takagi women, it didn't mean he would get in the middle of his relaxation moment. At least he had to have some chivalry-"What are the others doing?"

"Saeko-chan, she's training in the yard right now. Rei-chan and Kiriko-san, they're at the shooting range with Kohta-san and Asami-chan" - Shizuka replied as she put her index finger on her cheek and I began to think - "Kyoko-chan and Miku-chan are training self-defense together with one of the women we rescued, she was an instructor, and as I said before, Saya-chan and Yuriko-san are in the bathroom"

She didn't say anything about Takashi because everyone knew that he was now completely focused on his family that would be a little bigger in time.

"I see... I guess I'll have to go inform the troops..." - the blonde sighed - "I just hope they don't throw me out the window when I tell them we'll have to go out on another 'last mission'.. ."

"Easy…it'll be alright~" Shizuka smiled as she jumped behind the blonde and pressed her massive front against her firm back-"You know they won't do that~"

"But they will think about it"-Cloud just shook his head when he said this.

"Can you blame them?" asked the blonde nurse.

". . ." - Cloud only answered with silence..
