A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 24: Gifts and hard news



Chapter 24: Gifts and hard news

Soon we finished breakfast.

– It was very tasty. Thank you very much. Shizuka said and wanted to leave, but I interrupted her.

– Wait a bit. – I said and went to get the things I brought yesterday.

After listening to me, everyone remained sitting at the table.

– Saeko is for you. I forged it myself. I wanted to give it to you for your birthday, but I think it will be more needed now. – I said with love and handed her a personalized katana.

–Shiro…” Saeko said softly, “It’s just unbelievable.”… Thank you – with tenderness, holding her breath, she said, examining the gift, after which she passionately kissed me.

Well, it was worth it. Although there is still a form left…

– Wait, that’s not all. Hold… This is a special form, also made by me. I hope she will always protect you –

Saeko was about to drag me into another kissing session… But I stopped her. It was obvious that my gifts made her feel even more guilty, but what to do would be a lesson.

– Wait. First, go put on my present. –

– Uh, good. I’m just excited… Saeko replied, a little embarrassed.

And she was embarrassed not only because of the guilt inside, because of the guys watching us closely. They were, to put it mildly, in shock…

As soon as she left, it was time to equip the others.

– I won’t leave you empty-handed either. I forged several copies quite a long time ago and it’s time to use them for their intended purpose… Weapons should not gather dust in my workshop. I said, pulling three folded spears out of a large bag.

These were the same three unpretentious Sou-Yari. For convenience, they have the opportunity to divide into halves, in general, the spears are assembled. In theory, this should reduce the overall strength of the spear, but the system put a bolt on it.

Hearing me and seeing the spears in my hands, Ray quickly ran up and began to examine them with awe. – God, they’re beautiful. Amazing job… – she spoke tremulously, gently touched them, as if they were made of crystal.

– Do you forge weapons? Like a real blacksmith? – Saya raised an eyebrow in surprise – Amazing. Perfect grades, great looks, incredible strength, divine cooking… And now you also seem to be clearly an incredible blacksmith, judging by the reaction of Saeko and Ray, and they probably certainly understand this. Can I ask you a question, huh? Are you sure you’re from this world? – she finished with disbelief and a bit of sarcasm. She would have known that she accidentally hit the spot.

– Of course I’m not from this world. I was an angel when I caught a glimpse of Saeko. When I saw her, I immediately fell in love, but God was displeased with me. An angel had no right to love mortals… And the choice was given to me by them… either I stay in heaven and forget about her, or I leave heaven and live with my beloved, short mortal life… The choice was made. And you’ve already clearly noticed which one. I spoke in a majestic and truthful voice. And how many emotions. I almost believed myself…

Silence enveloped the room. Everyone looked at me in disbelief.

– God, what a beautiful story. – Saya shook her head – You need to be in a movie… Oh, it turns out you’re also a great actor now, right? – she said and looked at me as if I had taken the last roll of toilet paper when she needed it.

– Khe, okay, we laughed and that’s enough. One spear for Rei, Takashi and Sai… and please be very careful. They are extremely sharp. I said, handing them the equipment.

– Cool… Great job. – Ray was saying, already practicing air strikes with them.

Who I told to be careful… probably the wall.

– Shizuka, take this. I think it will do you more good than a spear. I said, handing her a small stiletto.

– Oh~oh! Thanks Shiro. You’re right, I like him better than a spear. Morikawa replied and examined the gift with a serious face. She has such a cute face when she’s serious. Okay…

While they were examining the new clothes, Saeko returned to the room. Disguised.

The uniform looked great on her. Everything is closed. Nothing is visible. I don’t really like to stare at her. And despite this, she looks great in it, even sexy. Since the shape perfectly emphasizes her curves.

– And how? Saeko spun around on the spot.

– Darling, you’ll look great even in a potato sack. In this form, you’re just a goddess… I said, devouring every piece of her body with my eyes. However, she was only pleased with it.

It may seem that I am paying too many compliments… And that, such obvious flattery is unnecessary, but as for me, even a man is pleased. Women generally love with their ears… probably.

Sometimes it seems that they are unhappy, but inside they are happy about it. After all, they dress in beautiful clothes, make up and put themselves in shape almost always just so that others notice it. And I’m just glad to give her compliments, knowing that they make her happy.

“He’s right about something… Takagi said thoughtfully, “This uniform really suits you perfectly… she spoke in an impressed voice with a hint of envy.

– Okay, let’s continue. Take Hirano. – I said and took out the “Quiet” from the bag, as well as a hundred balls.

– Keep this for you. – I handed him the equipment.

It’s quite funny to watch when an ordinary, shy boy with complexes abruptly turns into a confident maniac of the arms business.

With excitement on his face, the Cats’ eyes began to scan the weapon.

– Gods, Shiro, what is this? he said in an impatient tone.

– This is a pneumatic, silent rifle “Tihar”. I have collected two of these. It was more of an experiment for me to make them, but… They did not see the light, because even for storage it is necessary to collect an extremely large number of papers. Now they will serve us very well. –

Under my dialogue, Hirano continued to explore the curiosities… He even sniffed it. I’m pretty sure if we weren’t there, he would have licked him a couple of times. How he loves guns… What a passion…

– What are his characteristics? – he broke off from his research and asked in an impatient tone.

– The initial velocity of the projectile is nine hundred meters per second… fifty shots before pumping air. Shop for the same fifty balls. Absolutely silent. –

– Kami! What a wonderful job… Can I try it out?! – the Cat was eager.

– No, I need to tell you something else. Sit down. I said and sat down at the table myself.

– We’re listening. What do you want to say that you even need to sit down. Takagi asked with interest, clearly burning with curiosity.

– When I was returning from my house yesterday, I found… In general, zombies are developing. I said, not knowing how to break the news to them.

After the “pleasant” news, time seemed to stand still. Not for long, though. Slowly, their faces became enlightened. Takagi was the fastest…

– What!? Are you kidding?! Are they developing!? How?! How much stronger are they getting!? How fast!? Do we have time!? – she threw words like a machine gun.

– Yesterday I noticed that some zombies were sighted. One was even completely different from its clumsy counterparts. –

– That is? Morikawa asked in a serious tone… You rarely see her like this.

– He was faster and stronger than many athletes. He also had a developed intelligence, approximately at the level of an animal, and I am sure that they develop by eating people. The more zombies eat people, the stronger it will become. –

There was an answer to my tirade, in the form of very gloomy and thoughtful faces.

– Are you sure about this, my love? Saeko asked.

– Yes, honey. Unfortunately, this is the case. –

“So what do we do now?” – Ray was on the verge of hysteria – It’s already very dangerous, but what will happen now? WHAT. SHOULD WE. DO! –

– Well, the choice is not particularly great. – I shook my head – Either die and become one of them, or live and fight. Personally, I’m for the latter. That’s why I want to dedicate this day to your training. The bridge is blocked, there is no way to get to the other side yet. Let’s make the most of our time. –

In the end, everyone agreed, and I started their training…

Soon they regretted that they had answered “Yes”.
