[My answer made everyone in the room silent. They were all probably thinking that I’m a crazy person for volunteering to get myself killed.]

“Mako, you don’t have to volunteer. You’re a girl so you should stay here where it’s safe.”

[Ooo, I really want to yell in his face right now. Stop trying to act like a nice guy when you’re basically forcing people to their deaths. You damn piss colored-hair asshat, you don’t deserve to say anything to me.]

“It doesn’t matter if I’m a girl or not! I’m going because I’m stronger than most of the men you are sending. I’ll protect them and bring back food.”

Did I sound like you, Mei 3?

‘What do you mean? You were trying to copy me?’

[Haah, this girl doesn’t even realize the charismatic powers that she has. I guess she isn’t the dumb one out of the three of us for nothing.]

[I look around the room to see if anyone was moved by my bravado. The men whose names were called looked at me doubtingly. They didn’t trust that I would be able to help them survive. In fact, they are looking at me like I would be a burden to them.]

These bastards are also underestimating me just like Chad. I’ll let you all know that I can beat all of you up even without Mei 3’s help. I haven’t been learning my random skills for nothing, you know!?

I can defeat you with my “Throat Crushing Claw” or my “Eye Stealer”. If you aren’t scared of that then I’ll show you the fruits of mastering the “Internal Organ Destroyer Techniques” and those aren’t even my strongest moves. Wait till I show you my “Rising Dragon Body Destruction Techniques.”

Gosh, I’m so livid right now!!! You’re all a bunch of dumb ducks! Dumb doo-doo heads whose minds are filled with poop! Ugly dumb stinky butts!

‘M-mei 2, calm down. Your skills aren’t useless at all. Mei 1 and I know that all too well.’

[Mei 3 tries to calm me down but I can’t. I’m trying to help these people but they aren’t even showing a little bit of gratitude. It’s just frustrating knowing that your kindness isn’t being appreciated! I should just stick to helping people who I truly care for then!! I’m never going to help random people ever again!!]

[Maybe Master felt my heartbeat increase but she was rubbing where my heart was at and looking at me worriedly.]

I can’t be angry if you look at me like that, Master.

“It’s fine, you really don’t have to volunteer, Mako.”

[Chad was starting to panic now that I was trying to leave.]

Even if I stay, I’ll never give my virginity to you, you shithead! You’re nothing compared to Jude.

[Mei 3 stayed silent and Master’s eyes grew even more worried.]

[Whoops, I need to stay calm. I can’t let the two of them worry about me. Deep breaths. Deep Breaths, Mei 2.]

“I’ll go with Mako. This way the chances of us bringing back food will increase.”

[Gogo stood up and volunteered himself. The gasps and awe echoed out of everyone in the room. Especially those men whose names were called, their faces lit up like a lamp knowing that Gogo will be with them. He’s big and he knows how to fight so the chances of them returning alive increases by a large margin.]

[I guess this is the difference in charisma. Gogo was instantly able to relieve the men of their fears of going down to the first floor. It’s like what I said didn’t even matter.]

“You two don’t have to go. I only recently noticed it but both of you were being bullied, were you not? I’ve caught the perpetrators and will punish them. I can’t send you guys down to the first floor while you two were done wrong because of my lack of leadership. I must reward you instead, I’ll reward you with a thousand points.”

[Chad was digging at straws to convince us to stay. It isn’t going to work, why would we care about Chad points if we haven’t been working for them?]

“I’m sorry but I can’t accept that. Even if you give me those points, what use are they if we don’t have food? If I don’t go with these guys to secure food then we’ll all die sooner or later. I will go with them.”

[Gogo’s speech silenced Chad. He couldn’t say anything back because if he did then his faction would start to complain. They probably don’t see what’s wrong with a person volunteering to bring them food so they won’t reject Gogo going. The only person that would have a problem with Gogo going is Chad himself.]

Wait, what if Chad has been after Gogo this entire time? Ahahaha, that would be hilarious.

‘What do you mean going after? Does Chad want to fight Gogo? I don’t think he’ll win.’

You’re still too young to know. If you want to know then ask Mei 1 when she’s back to normal.

‘Why can’t you just tell me? You keep on giving me riddles and it’s becoming annoying.’

[Mei 3 is way too innocent or maybe she’s just dense. She knows about regular relationships but she doesn’t know anything about same-sex relationships which is weird because Mei 1 and I know about it. I guess it’s just her personality.]

“Fine, I’ll allow the two of you to go with the expedition.”

[Chad gives us permission to leave or he’ll lose trust from his faction.]

“I-I would like to go too.”

“Me too.”

“I also want to join the expedition.”

[A few of the girls who were forced to stay decided to go with us on the expedition. I’m sure that they realize that this expedition was a suicide mission but they still decided to join us because it might be a better fate than being with Chad’s group. If they stay then every inch of their body was going to be used to pleasure a man they don’t even love. If they leave with the expedition then they can run from this terrible fate of being a tool for sex but they may die.]

[Every single girl in the no faction group must decide whether they want to stay as a sex slave or leave with the chance of dying. It was a tough ordeal for them but some chose to stay and some chose to leave. It was a hard decision and no one can say either choice was better than the other.]

‘Can’t we do something for them. I don’t want these girls to sacrifice their bodies to just be able to live. No girl should have to experience this.’

We can’t do anything, Mei 3. Only the strong can determine the lives of the weak.

‘This is why I’ve been training and I still can’t do anything about it.’

[The two of us were powerless to help these girls from their cruel fate.]

……

“Master, why did you want me to go to the first floor?”

[I understand Mei 3 and Gogo’s reason for wanting to go to the first floor but not Master’s. She shouldn’t care about getting food for these people.]

“We need to find an exit.”

“Are we escaping from this place?”

[The pee I’ve been holding in releases out of my body as I wait for Master to talk. I’ve been holding a lot in as there’s a constant stream splashing into the water.]

‘Why did you have to talk in the bathroom with Fifi? Aren’t you embarrassed? Ahhhh, she can hear us peeing.’

Why are you so embarrassed? It’s just Master, I don’t mind her hearing me pee. It’s not like its Jude listening on us peeing.

‘It doesn’t matter who it is, it’s still embarrassing. Hurry up and finish.’

[The stream weakens and Master begins to talk.]

“Jude’s on the move. I think he’s coming for us.”

“I see, so our plan is to meet up with him.”

“Yeah.”

Whew, I’m glad that Jude is finally coming for us. I was starting to get sick of Chad’s sex cult. Even if he’s by himself, I’d still rather be with him then Chad.

‘Wait are we going to abandon the people here? We can’t do that.’

[Haah, Mei 3 is too nice. This is why you are rank last as the mentally strongest. One of these days a bad man will take advantage of your kindness, but Mei 1 and I won’t let that happen. You are our adorable little sister after all.]

We’re not abandoning them Mei 3. Those people with the Chad faction can take care of themselves. On the other hand, we’re the ones that are in danger. Chad and his faction have basically sent us to die but we can save our group if we meet up with Jude. Jude will be able to protect us and we don’t have to go back and join Chad’s sex cult.

‘Ok, I see. I thought you were trying to abandon them but if they can protect themselves then that’s good.’

[Mei 3 was easily convinced. Since Master was done talking and I was done peeing, I wipe myself and pull up my panties and pants. I just hope that everything will go fine as we escape.]

[I flush the toilet and exit the stall. There was a girl in front of the mirror doing make-up. It wasn’t make-up to make you look pretty though, she was trying to make herself look uglier. I remember her, she was the first girl who decided to volunteer on the expedition and she was also in my team.]

[Looking at her entire outfit, I understand what she’s doing now. Her black hair that went to the middle of her back was all frazzled and dirty, a horrid stench was emitting off her, her baggy tracksuit was all dirty, and she’s even uglifying herself. She was trying to hide her beauty.]

[What a smart girl! I didn’t even think of doing this. I had been so confident in my other random skills that I didn’t think of disguising myself. The way she was applying the make-up was really natural and doesn’t even look like she applied any. I know what skill I should learn next. How come I didn’t think of learning how to disguise my face. I’m a failure as a certified ninja.]

‘Mei 2 talk to her. You’re being weird by just staring at her.’

“Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Mako Mei. Can you teach me how to do make-up like that?”

“Oh, hi, my name’s Jill Getense.”

[She’s a very soft-spoken girl but her skills are the real deal.]

“I-I don’t know if I can teach you. I don’t have everything I need.”

“Can you teach me some other time then. I really want to learn how you’re doing your make-up.”

“S-sure.”

[I go next to the sink next to her and wash my hands. Looking at her up close her makeup is really well done. Her stench and dirty tracksuit make her ugly appearance pop out even more.]

“Yeah, you’re ugly.”

‘MEI 2!!! DON’T SAY THAT!!!’

“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it in that way, I was just talking about your makeup. It makes you look really ugly. Wait! That’s not what I mean to say!! I’m sorry!!”

“Hehe, thank you.”

She’s not mad!?

‘She’s not mad!?’

“You’re not mad?”

“If you’re calling me ugly then that means my makeup is working. Being called ugly is a compliment.”

“Hahaha, you’re funny, Jill. Let’s be friends.”

[After that little incident, Jill started to open up to me. We continued to talk and I learned that she was a freshman like Jude. She’s currently majoring in art but she wants to become a makeup artist as her full-time job.]

[When the zombie apocalypse started she was one of the people who were staying in the second-floor area that lead up to the third floor in plaza 1. She usually hung out on the third floor but the third floor was being reconstructed so she couldn’t go up there. Besides her, Chad and his friends were also in the same room. Jill was the first responder when people were banging at the door to be let in. While she held the door open for other students to get in, Chad and his friends didn’t help her at all. They were talking all by themselves while some of the other students and professors barricaded the hallway. More and more students flowed in and she overheard Chad’s plan to become the leader and create a harem for himself. Once she learned of this she decided to make herself look less attractive. She’s a shy girl so she didn’t have the confidence to convince anyone that Chad was evil.]

“So Chad was a dick even before the zombie apocalypse?”

“Y-yeah.”

[We finish up our conversation before heading out to regroup with our teams. During the conference, Chad had assigned 4 teams of 5 because the people who wanted to leave here increased to 20 instead of 10. By “luck” I was placed into the same group as Gogo. The other people in our group were Jill, perm douche, and a professor. Perm douche and the professor were both from the Chad faction which surprised me. I thought everyone in the Chad faction knew that this was a suicide mission but I guess their organization isn’t as organized. These two must have wanted those 1,000 Chad points. I guess the prospect of 1,000 Chad points held more weight than I had thought, but it’s still a fake currency that isn’t worth it so these people are just idiots.]

[We reach the stairway that was previously blocked. Most of the barricade was removed by the time we got there. The various chairs and tables were removed so there is enough space for a person to fit through. I wonder why this building only has one staircase onto the third floor. There was an elevator that led up to here, the fire escape, and this single staircase, but besides that, there wasn’t another entrance. Wait, why aren’t we taking the fire escape!?]

“Jill, do you know why we aren’t taking the fire escape?”

“Oh, it’s probably because there isn’t one. The third floor was under reconstruction because they were going to add the fire escape and another set of stairs but they weren’t able to finish it.”

“I see.”

[I see Gogo and head up towards him. He was currently wearing the vest and pants of the armor I gave to him. The pants looked somewhat tight on him even though it was pretty baggy when I wore it.]

“Take it back. It doesn’t fit.”

[He threw the jacket at me and I caught it. I can already imagine him trying on this jacket and it not fitting. It’s like a gorilla trying to fit in a small shirt.]

“Pfft, ahahaha.”

“Don’t you dare laugh.”

[He brought his hand down and chopped my head.]

“Where were you hiding it?”

[These past few days I hadn’t seen him wearing the armor or carrying the duffel bag so I knew he hid it somewhere. It was a good thing he did because the Chad faction might have tried to take it from him. Gogo pointed his finger at the pile of rubble used as a barricade. He must have hidden it there.]

[I wear the jacket and it was a snug fit, I can see why it wouldn’t fit him. The jacket had elbow pads, chest pads, and even back pads which made it a little heavy but I could probably handle it. Most of the weight that dragged Mei 3 down in her fight against Lisa was coming from the vest.]

[Jill hid behind me as I was talking to Gogo. Was she scared of him?]

“Gogo, look nicer. You’re scaring my friend.”

“What do you mean look nicer? I was born like this ok. Nice to meet you, I’m Gorou Gorildo.”

“N-n-nice to met you. I-I’m Gill Getense. No, Jill Getense.”

[Jill shook the hand that Gogo extended out and was extremely nervous around him. It was a really funny scene to look at though. Gogo towered over Jill who was around the same height as Lisa. The only big difference between Jill and Lisa was that Jill had boobs. Even under her baggy clothes, I can see the well-defined shape of them. They were not as big as ours but with her height, it stands out even more.]

Dem some big ol’ boobies.

‘Gross, you sound like a pervert. Wait, Is this a clue to the question you asked me earlier? Does the answer lie within another woman’s breasts? Hey, Mei 2, am I correct. Am I getting closer?’

Yeah, yeah, you’re very close.

[Everyone going on the expedition was gathered up. Looking around, it doesn’t look like we’re prepared at all. Some of the people were geared with table legs, some had makeshift shields from tables, and some were empty-handed.]

“Alright, let’s get going.”

[Gogo calls out and goes down the stairs. The morality in our group of 4 teams was at its lowest. Everyone must be cursing at the cruel fate that has befallen them.]
