"Change location?"
"Yes, this place is not safe"
With my words, the Takagi couple begins to think, it is good that they are reasonable and not offended when I say that all their work is not safe and has not been of any use.
"I think we have kept the mansion safe enough, I don't think it has problems"
"It's true Alexander-kun, our house is still tough, and if you're worried we can try to improve the defenses"
Although they are reasonable, it seems that they find it difficult to leave their home, but there are points that they overlooked since they have only focused on strengthening the entrance fence believing that this is enough.
"No, this house location is bad, we are surrounded by zombies and we do not know how they will behave in the future, the fence can withstand tens of them, maybe some hundreds, but when we talk about thousands or tens of thousands it is totally different story, it will not resist much and it will only be trampled by them.
Assuming we manage to reinforce the defenses so that they do not pass and manage to contain them, we’ll only change the way we die, instead of being eaten, it will be starvation that will end us. It is better to look for a place a little out of the city where we only have to deal with zombies from one side. "
The more I speak, Yuriko-san's face pales accordingly and Soichiro seems to think my words seriously. They look at each other for a few seconds and after Yuriko-san nods then Soichiro takes the word again.
"We had not seen it that way ... we just worried about blocking its passage, but the things you say are very possible to happen. I will talk to the others and make preparations mobilize and change places... but now the problem is where we will move”
"Alexander-kun, you seem to be a very intelligent child, now I see why others trust in you so much, even our Saya seems to have interest in you."
"Mom!!"
"Yes, Alex-kun is a very intelligent boy ... but also a little precocious"
The couple seems to accept my suggestion after an argument, so Yuriko-san says that trying to make fun of me, Saya embarrassed yells at her mother, but only gets a smile from her in return, as for the last person who speaks, it was Shisuka, that when they praise me, she makes those majestic mounds even more noticeable when she inflates her chest… do you want to kill the other girls off envy?
Her posture makes everyone direct his gaze to her chest ... with the exception of Soichiro, is that guy a robot? No, you can't fool me, I could saw for a second that he clenched his fists trying to control himself. Hahaha, maybe you can't enjoy watching because of your wife, but I can, now die of jealousy watching me delight my eyes with them.
"Aaah!"
When I turn my head to see more clearly, I feel that someone stomps on my foot, I don't have to guess who the person that do it was, with the angry look Kurisu is giving me, I can know that it was her. Damn it, love hurts.
This is your fault Shisuka, you will pay for it later, I will also make you experience how precocious I am for having said that last thing.
"You will have to make an effort Saya, it seems that you have a lot of competition"
"Mom! Stop talking about it, we're talking about serious things !! "
Most smiles at the interaction of mother and daughter, only Kurisu look me with accusing eyes, Saeko has a serious face, but smiles a little when our eyes meet and Shizuka as usual is in her own world. Of all, what cause me the most discomfort, are without a doubt, Soichiro's eyes that stare at me, but from his rigid face I don't understand his thoughts well.
"Well, Alexander-kun do you have any suggestions where it would be appropriate?"
"I can't help whit that, I don't know the area well"
"I see ... Soichiro, which place do you think is suitable to go?"
"... The most isolated would be the airport that was built on the sea"
Yuriko-san resumes the conversation of serious issues, unfortunately I cannot help her in what she asks me, leaving aside that I don't know the area, I don't even know what city we are in ...
The names of the places come from the mouths of the assembled here, but they are also rejected by different problems that are named by others. Some are far away, others remain too exposed to zombies or do not seem to have adequate defenses.
"We could also try to reach the neighboring city of Kinato"
"Kinato? Why should we try to get there if we have discarded places that are closer in the nearby areas of this city?"
"Before we lost communication with the world, a message was issued that the government had created a survival camp there. Kinato has a military base very close to the city, the main industry there is agriculture, it doesn’t has such a large population, so the amount of zombies has to be much smaller than in other places and besides with all the barns there they have enough food "
With every phrase that Soichiro said seemed the best place without a doubt, there was only one big problem for me. That was that, if that camp was created by the government, is certain that some politicians or influential people are the ones who run it.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"I don't think we should approach any survivor camp for now"
"Why?"
"Unfortunately I do not believe that all people have a strong and integrated mentality like yours, Soichiro. With the fear of death and laws ceasing to be applied or changing them to your liking, no doubt all these places will become small kingdoms ruled direct for these who created it. If something that threatens their place on the throne appears, I’m sure they will not hesitate to get rid of it”
"... I don't think others allow them to do that"
"The problem is no longer whether or not they allow someone to do it, is if the person has the power to do it or not. For example, a military man who has control of weapons, politicians who continue to borrow the power of a government that probably does not exist anymore. With the power of the weapons or the influences they can intimidate the general population to comply with their orders. In simple words, the world has become a total anarchy”
"..."
"... Soichiro, I think Alexander-kun is right about some things. How many people trying to steal, rape and kill we see when have looked for survivors. It is too risky to go to such a distant place, to find that it is even worse than the one we left. "
Soichiro remains silent thinking until his wife speaks reminding him of the dark side they have seen of humanity. Honestly if normal people have lost their mind succumbing to their worst desires, I don't want to think about what will happen to politicians who never had a good reputation.
Moreover, what affects me the most is that they probably won't count as people I save if I don't have a leadership role in that group. It is better to create my own survivor camp for now and when I have enough power I can talk in the same level with them and maybe if I play my cards well, I can integrate their population too.
"Then we continue with the same problem, we have no idea where to go"
Someone in the room says and everyone tries again to think about the places they know, Suddenly Rei remembering something speaks animatedly.
"I remember it now, my dad told me that were building a new amusement park on the edge of the city, he had to go check the place to process licenses with the Mayor"
"An amusement park? Well, it would certainly have to be a large place and if it is outside the city, the location is also good. But if it only has a simple thin wire mesh circling its perimeter, it won’t withstand many zombies”
It seems like a good place, but reinforcing the entire perimeter would be a lot of work ... although it is the best place so far.
"You're wrong Alexander, my dad told me that the one who built the park was a rather eccentric rich person. Since he had a pleasure for European castles, he spent a lot of money to build walls around the park emulating one."
"Now that Rei-chan mentions it, I remember hearing about it."
By Rei's description, the place seems better and better the more she speaks, also for being a rich person should have been mentioned in Yuriko-san’s circle. It is about 40-50km from here, from what I hear. The park seems to be completely surrounded by walls with only the entrances to pass, in front of it is the road that connects it with the city and behind has a mountain.
Has it’s own water wells to stock up and gasoline electricity generators. It especially has a large area of a couple of kilometers within the walls, so we can accommodate many people inside.
"It seems to be our best option"
"I agree"
"Yes"
With everyone in agreement, we finished with the selection of the place for the new camp, now we only have to tell the others and transport the necessary things.
"How many people are refugees in your home, Soichiro?"
"Hmn? I'm ashamed to say it, but we haven't had time to keep track of every person we rescued ... an approximate of everyone would be about 80 people. Of those, about 20 are those who have been responsible for finding more survivors and obtain resources for the others. "
The total number of people we have to move is about 100 ... certainly it will be impossible to move that whole group in silence without making noise, so we will attract a lot of zombies’ attention.
In addition, maintaining order between them and protecting everyone will be a challenge, but this is the first step for creating my survivors camp, I must do it and the better my performance is to direct them, the more confidence I will get from the survivors.
"Well, everyone should be hungry. Why we don't eat and keep talking about how to proceed after we have our stomachs full? Everyone can think and have better ideas by taking a short break."
Yuriko-san speaks and the others nod with a smile to her words, it is not bad to take things slowly and calm down a bit, is also not correct and healthy that they are always under pressure.
"Thank you, Yuriko-san"
"I can help to prepare the food, Yuriko-san"
""Also I""
We begin to get up from our seats and walk out of the room, Saeko, Kurisu and other girls walk towards Yuriko-san offering to help. We separated in two groups, in those who prepared the food and in those who waited, of the girls in my group the only one who stays with us is Shisuka, as not everyone in my group was at the meeting before, I then ask.
"Where are the others?"
"Misuzu-chan and Niki-chan found some of their family. It is a pity that Misuzu-chan's father died, and Niki-chan's brother is still missing, they both stayed to talk to their relatives.
Yamada-kun and Yuki-chan, they told me they would talk to the others from school so they don't keep messing with you Alex-kun, they should be worried because they bully you again, they're good guys right? "
"... no, I’m sure they are more concerned that Alexander-san retaliates against the others"
Komuro continued after Shisuka, Hirano nods strongly to his words in accordance with his point of view, I also believe that what he says is more likely than her assumption.
On the other hand, it is a shame that Misuzu and Niki lost some of their relatives. I will have to wait to see how they react to this. As there is nothing to do until they serve the food, I walk to the way out with the others behind me to waste time.
Outside I see Soichiro's men doing their job watching the surroundings, I thought they would have some animosity against me for what happened, but everything seems normal ... the only exception is the man who has a mark on his temple.
The good thing is that when I activate my eyes to see his aura to look if he had any bad intentions against me, he only has the color red, therefore, he should only be upset about what happened, but he does not seem to hold much resentment.
It seems that it was true that they just wanted to take our weapons away to avoid an accident, unfortunately with what is happening in this world, for me that is not acceptable. Remembering that incident, I turn to Hirano who was on my side and tell him.
"Good job clinging to your weapon, Hirano. At least you have more common sense than the pair of fools who delivered their weapons when they were simply asked to do that"
"Eh? This is ... Thanks Alexander-kun!"
After praising him, I patted his shoulder, he is a little puzzled by my words, but then gets happy and smiles at me cheerfully. At his side Komuro just lowers the head in shame without saying anything.

When I touch Hirano's shoulder a system mission is activated, after quickly reading the data, I’m grateful that I don't have to conquer Hirano's heart. When I heard the [Beep] I was a little scared, and I was even more afraid of what the mission might say.
[You don't have to worry about that Alexander, the system being connected to you, knows your sexual preferences. Unless you're attracted to the other side you won't get the mission of conquering others heart.]
That is very good thing, but Aurora, with what the system says if I complete that mission, will I be able to obtain any type of vehicles?
[Yes, but I must warn you that they are expensive, it may even be better to get by yourself the vehicle you want in the world you are. That is because apart from the materials, the technological value and knowledge to create them is difficult to assess]
... Well, that's certainly true. Nations or companies spend fortunes protecting that information. I only hope that the price requested by the system is not very exorbitant.
Having just praised Hirano I put my eyes on Komuro, when I do that I can hear him swallow. I approach him and also pat his shoulder while I tell him.
"Don't worry we all make mistakes"

As expected, when I touch Komuro I got the same mission as with Hirano, but perhaps because he was the protagonist of the story or something else, the rank of his mission is higher. After he hears my words, he relaxes a little.
Although what I said is true, I don't want him to commit the same mistake again, so I continued with serious tone.
"But if you do such nonsense again, I will make you fight with bare hands against zombies"
"Y-yes! I won't separate from my gun again or hand it to someone else"
I nod to his answer and then we look for a place to sit and rest until the food is ready. Finding an appropriate place, we sit down ... Komuro and Hirano watch with envy at my direction since my place has soft legs to put my butt and two comfortable cushions to lean my head.
They can't complain, when I was going to sit like the others, before I could do it, Shisuka took me in her arms again, and putting me in the position that am now. So while she is humming, we wait for the others to call us to eat.
