A couple of hours later,
Back at the base, Lorien could be seen standing with around 70 people behind him; those are the lucky ones who managed to survive after the zombies broke through the blockade.
And next to him, three big chests could be seen floating around; the first is the one Lorien filled with mangas, comics, and some novels from the first store he encountered when he entered the Japanese territory.
As for the other two, they were filled with movies and novels he found in a couple of specialized stores that Lorien discovered on his way back to the base.
Discovering those stores, Lorien immediately decided to check what they had inside, and luckily for him, he found a huge variety of movies and light novels; he was even fortunate enough to find DVD versions of the 'Final Destination' franchise.
*Swish*
Suddenly, a beam of scarlet light shot from the distance instantly landing in front of them.
"You are back!" Said Saigai who had just made it here.
A couple of moments earlier, she felt a large number of people entering the base; and based on this, she quickly inferred that Lorien was back so she made it here as quickly as she could.
"Huh? They are?" She continued after looking at the people behind him.
"They are just survivors, but those two are the ones I spoke to you about!" Responded Lorien while pointing to Soichiro and his wife.
"Are you talking about the ones you want to manage the base?"
"Yes!"
"Hmmm..."
Looking deeply at the two of them, Saigai scanned them for a moment before shrugging.
"I trust your choice! You've never been wrong anyways."
Meanwhile, just as Saigai was scanning them, the couple was doing the same.
'So she's the other being Saya spoke about.'
'For some reason, she feels very dangerous...'
Watching this from the side, Lorien suddenly clapped his hands together attracting their attention.
*Clap*
"Everyone must be tired, I'll send you to your residences so you can rest." Spoke Lorien to everyone present before looking straight at Soichiro and Yuriko.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"As for managing the base, I'll communicate further details with you tomorrow, you should just relax today."
Saying this, he then waved his hand indicating that they should follow him.
Thankfully, the apartment Lorien made at the beginning is enough to accommodate all of them and there is no shortage of food so everything went smoothly.
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
Taking them to their destination, Lorien then walked back to where Saigai was; making it there, he found her standing in front of one of the chests looking curiously inside.
"They contain Movies, Novels, Mangas, etc." He said which startled Saigai as she didn't feel him approaching.
"You have to stop doing that!"
"Hahahaha! Sorry about that!"
Rolling her eyes at him, her eyes then shone brightly as if remembering something.
"Did you bring the movie you told me about?"
"Yes!" Saying this, Lorien walked to the third chest opened it, and took out 5 DVDs.
"That many?"
"Let's go watch them!"
"Okay...But before that, how did the past 3 days go?"
"Oh, that! It was..."
.
.
.
And like that, 5 Days passed in the blink of an eye.
In that period of time, all Lorien did was just watch movies with Saigai, read mangas, and relax.
After all, he was leaving soon and he wanted to get as much rest as he could before going to the next world.
The only actual work he did in this time period is fixing the damage caused by the EMP to the base and introducing the base to Soichiro and Yuriko so they can start managing it.
Speaking of managing the base, things went much smoother than Lorien expected which is mostly thanks to the couple already having their own subordinates who came with them.
"Choosing them was truly the correct choice!"
Sitting on the couch, Lorien's eyes shone with a golden light as they peered into the distance.
[Clairvoyance]
"Hmmmm"
"Finally! no more nukes, I can now leave this world without worry."
Frankly, Lorien thought about staying here with Saigai, getting ownership of the world, and then leaving together.
After all, Planting Dreams Trees and exchanging [Dream Energy] from [Luck] isn't the only way to achieve his goal; He could also receive [Luck] by spreading breathing techniques, killing zombies, or even humans.
But after thinking about it for a while, he quickly suppressed those thoughts as this will most likely affect the [Doom] energy.
"I'll just come back later after she finishes absorbing it; I am not in a hurry anyways."
"I'll go to one or two worlds then I'll come back here."
Standing up, Lorien stretched lazily as his eyes then slowly turned serious.
"It's time to leave."
Thinking of this, he slowly made it to the backyard where Saigia was occurring practicing.
Noticing his arrival, she quickly stopped and looked at him in puzzlement.
"I am leaving." Said Lorien.
Hearing this, her eyes widened and reluctance filled her face.
Even though she knew that this was coming and she even took this decision with him, she still felt a bit unwilling.
"Now? Why don't stay for a couple more days?"
Hearing this, Lorien silently shook his head and responded.
"It's about time I leave, I'll be returning, I am not dying, you don't have to look at me like that."
"But..."
"Here! take this!" Said Lorien as he threw 8 light orbs toward her.
"Those are?"
"4 Seeds of Immortality and 4 of Ability in case you need them."
Hearing this, she silently took and stored them before silently looking at Lorien again.
"Okay, It's time now!" Spoke Lorien as he stepped forward, hugged her, and then lowered his head stealing her lips.
*Humm*
This lasted for a while as both of them reluctantly separated.
"See you later!"
This is the last thing Lorien said as he waved his hand and disappeared from this world, blipping out of existence.
Seeing this, Saigai lowered the hand she was waving as she gave off a long desolate sigh.
She is no longer in the mood to practice.
*Sigh*
'Alone.'
'Again.'
