No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 43: My Future Is Grim

Chapter 43: My Future Is Grim

After a full-speed trip, we finally made it to school.

Mikoto has impressive driving ability, as she not only reduced the travel time from half an hour to just 8 minutes, Mikoto was able to move between abandoned cars, crazed infected, and frenzied people, she is truly a genius and a monster behind the wheel.

On the way we saw some survivors but we focused on the mission, we don't have time to pick up other people since Rika's house is already quite full and we would have to make several round trips.

Although Mikoto felt uncomfortable abandoning people in danger, she knew how to order her priorities, which made me pat her in approval.

I'm sure the system doesn't register all of my abilities as my patting ability is absurdly high to the point of looking supernatural.

I had not noticed it before since I always kept a distance from the people around me and even pushed aside the women I liked due to various problems that plague my life, this is why I was not used to treating other people with affection and I just patted or other displays of affection to animals, mainly dogs since they like me while cats seem to hate me.

Now that I think about it, I technically have a harem in my homeworld, only I have not formalized a relationship with those women.

That's trouble for another day, the point is Mikoto put on a goofy smile when I patted her, she's cute when she's not acting tsundere.

When we got to school I was surprised at the size of the place. The school was both a primary school and a secondary school so it was normal for it to be large, I cannot see all the facilities, but there should be enough space to build a stable foundation.

Mikoto told me about Saya's family, the Takagi family, and from what I heard it is likely that they will establish a base since they have the necessary resources so if I form a base and use Saya then I will be able to absorb her family's resources.

As for why Mikoto described them to me, she is trying to convince me to join the Black Label so she told me that they are a secret organization that is in charge of eliminating garbage from society.

I was relatively honest with Mikoto during a pillow talk and told her that one day before the infection I joined the yakuza, to avoid misunderstandings I told her that my purpose was to find my parents' killers.

I did not tell him that the culprit was Saya's father since I want the two of them to become friends to use their friendship against Soichiro and incidentally get Saya's mother who according to Mikoto is quite beautiful.

Mikoto told me about many interesting things about the government and underworld of Japan, the most striking was the recent investigation of a foreign pharmaceutical company that has had secret deals with the government.

There were indications that they were related to biological weapons and human experimentation so Mikoto suspects that they are related to this disaster, I also believe it since everything that involves human experimentation usually ends in disaster, there are theories that AIDS was an experiment for a bioweapon which would not surprise me, humanity is stupid.

When I listened to Mikoto I felt my instinct tingling to warn me that I am getting into something troublesome, but I can't run away as I need to conquer Japan and then the world.

That's why I need to take this school, gather talented people, train an army of completely loyal martial artists, and then start expanding my territory.

What I need the most are people, the resources I can obtain by looting shops and warehouses, and I also discovered that animals can mutate with the virus, but they do not necessarily become violent bloodthirsty beasts.

On the way to school I saw a slightly larger than normal dog fighting with a group of infected, although the infected do not seem interested in the meat of non-human beings, they still respond with violence to attacks.

On the other hand, the animals are hostile against the infected so it becomes a war of all against all.

I have yet to check if the meat of mutated animals is edible but even if it is contaminated I am sure I can clean it with Rasen and Ki.

The most important thing is that mutated animals can be domesticated, several people in the school managed to survive as some of the animals they cared for mutated to become stronger while retaining their attachment to the girls so they protected them from the infected.

This gives me the idea of ??forming a squad of mutant beast tamers for my future army, but for now, I have a big problem on my hands and that is Mikoto looking at me like she was trash.

"Hmph lolicon" - Mikoto snorted in disdain.

After we arrived at the school, a girl with black hair combed in a double ponytail saw us kill several infected as we entered the school, so she risked asking us for help.

After the infection broke out most of the students and teachers died, the survivors escaped to the underground floor that was built during WWII as a bomb shelter.

The only reason they were able to survive was that a pair of animals gained enhanced strength when infected so they protected the girls.

The funny thing is that these animals were only attached to women so the children and male teachers died because they were not protected.

That is why you should always treat animals well, they are more reliable than people.

The girl asked us to tell her what was happening outside, so we were sincere and told her that the world went to shit, people died, no one would help us and if we did not fight we would die in a horrible way.

I admit it, it was fun scaring the girl.

The little girl named Kurumi Ebisuzawa showed to be quite mature and with great mental strength so she resisted crying and asked us for help.

The survivors took turns sending someone to explore every so often to see if the army came to help them, Kurumi was one of the bravest girls so she volunteered to explore most of the time.

Despite being just a brat, I liked the determination to move on that she possesses so I patted her a few times and offered her cookies to feed on as survivors seem to have supply problems.

As soon as I pampered her I regretted it as she started to blush making me feel like a criminal.

Receiving affection and care in a highly stressful situation facilitates feelings of attachment, even though I am not devilishly handsome I am still attractive so if I combined my appearance with my actions it was understandable to make a good impression on the girl.

Mikoto started looking at me like trash, but it was only the beginning.

The embarrassed Kurumi led us to the underground floor while Mikoto and I cleaned up the surroundings. There were no mutated infected but the hundreds of infected looking like children had a strong impact on Mikoto, she did not hesitate to kill them, although her expression turned so white that we had to rush to the underground floor for her to rest or her willpower could be seen affected.

When we got to the underground floor I was surprised to see so many girls and I started to worry.

Since the incident with Sham and Hartini I realized that I am a fucking scum who would even get his hands on a little girl, it could have happened due to side effect of factors external but that changes that I hate myself for being damn garbage.

It worries me especially since my Insanity is still unstable because I can't use Hamon so I started to have a bad feeling, my impulsive action of having an orgy with women that I have not completely caught and in a dangerous situation made me rethink if I'm going crazy or stupid.

I resisted the urge to leave and began to act like a kind hero who wanted to save women and girls. The good side is that there were really attractive teachers, the best thing is that some of them had expressions similar to Kana, Hikari, and Mayu, women who saw their loved ones die and were now desperate.

Even though I wanted to focus on mature women, Kurumi dragged me along with her friends to comfort them as some were mentally stunted.

And so I ended up surrounded by a group of brats while Mikoto seemed to be debating whether to ignore me or shoot me.

The good side is that this helped me gain an excellent impression with the teachers who looked at me with soft eyes for the way I took care of the girls.

Pat and cookies, my talent for taming animals can be used with desperate girls.

As for the mutant animals, only two dogs survived that despite not being large possess strength and speed greater than an average adult but are still inferior to trained people such as Mikoto or Saeko.

They used to be several dogs but only these two survived, they were not the strongest but it seems that they have a certain level of intelligence and can use hit and back strategies so they will be good scouts if I train them, who knows, I could learn from Shigure and train them like Tochumaru to become martial artists.

Both dogs began to act docile when they saw me which did not surprise me since dogs are usually submissive in my presence, most of the animals treat me well and are affectionate but dogs are especially respectful with me which I like since I love dogs.

I also love cats, but those cute furballs hate me to death, that's why I like Renka and Kisara as they act like cats without hating me.

I tried to focus on the teachers and the dogs as the girls were getting more and more clingy.

Kurumi mentioned how amazing I was to clean the infected from the area, Mikoto began to boast of my strength mentioning how I dealt with hundreds of infected and various mutants who had the strength to take down armed policemen.

Mikoto sees me as his partner so she is proud of my achievements which is normal however his descriptions of mutants scared the survivors even more since they had not seen a mutant yet.

In fact, Mikoto's school shouldn't have been attacked by so many mutants if it weren't for me luring them in with my Hamon.

Now the girls went from terror to despair.

Well done Mikoto, you broke up a bunch of innocent girls, Navi would be proud of you.

If not for I dropped Navi at Rika's house to supervise then the little jerk would be laughing non-stop.

To avoid the hassle of caring for a bunch of depressed little burdens, I comforted them with the most heroic and disgusting phrase I could think of.

"Everything is fine because I am here! I will protect them! " - I smiled full of confidence and warmth.

There are times when I exaggerate with acting so as soon as I saw the heated, fanatical, and almost obsessive gaze of some girls I knew I had screwed up.

The only good thing is that the teachers with the most vulnerable mental state looked at me in the same way so my teacher harem will grow shortly.

As for Mikoto's jealousy, she has no right to claim me, this is technically her fault.

Ah, whatever, I'll just pamper the girls to get distracted, anyway, it's not like any of them are going to do anything excessive, right?

Certain?

...

Please tell me one of those brats didn't try to touch something a little girl shouldn't touch.

Damn precocious youth, the internet is rotting them.

I want a drink and hug Shizuka, I'm tired of this shit.
