"Not a drop of sweat on his face..." Looking at the man with a knot over her stomach, Rika shifted her gaze and observed the big lump he was dragging as if nothing "At least 250 kilos... we were for 40 minutes walking in the tunnel... a real monster."

"..." Adjusting her glasses, Saya looked at the big rock a few meters away and then turned to Fenrir "I have an idea but I don't know if it's possible."

"Idea for what?"

"Plug the hole"

"I hear you."

Getting up, Saya walks over to Fenrir and unties his blankets, then takes him by the hand and smiles softly "Come with me."

"..." Letting himself go, Fenrir walked quietly and watched the large trees, causing his eyes to glow behind his helmet.

"Fenrir, can you lift this?" standing still beside the rock, Saya points at it and speaks.

"..." Bowing his head, Fenrir stared at Saya.

"Look" Bending down, Saya spread her arms wide and picked up the rock "Lift it up."

"..." Looking at the woman, Fenrir lowers his gaze to the stone and approaches, then reaching out his arms and taking it with both of his hands.

"..." Attempting to pick her up, Fenrir's eyes widen a bit more when he sees that it won't move, causing him to squint and growl angrily "Grrr!"

"He can't seem to..." Noticing the tension in the man's arms, Saya sighed.

"..." After several minutes of trying, Fenrir let go of the stone and stared at it, then brought his hand to his head and removed his helmet.

Taking off his cloak, Fenrir throws it next to the helmet and stares at the stone as if it were his greatest enemy, then takes it back between his two hands and takes a deep breath.

"*Sniff*" Filling his lungs with air, Fenrir gritted his teeth and exerted as much force as possible on his body.

"H-he..." Noticing how the stone began to rise, Rika muttered in a daze "Th-that's impossible... that stone must weigh a-around 350 kilograms..."

"Fuuuu~" Letting out a large amount of air, Fenrir clenched his teeth tightly and his strength was such that his fingers managed to penetrate the rock and after several efforts, manage to lift it between his hands.

"Good, come quickly!" Smiling with excitement and surprise, Saya walked quickly towards the cave and shouted.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*.

Walking slowly towards the cave, Fenrir's face filled with sweat as each step he took caused a thud and his feet slowly sank into the damp earth.

"Fuck, look at those arms" Biting her lips sensually, Yuuki murmured.

"Horny bitch, even right now you don't lose that mentality" Laughing lightly, Kiriko commented.

"Don't tell me it doesn't cause you anything to see those muscles, old hag" Snorting hotly, Yuuki teased.

"It's very different to think it silently than to say it out loud, you little bitch" Looking at the sweat running down Fenrir's broad shoulders, Kiriko replied mockingly.

"Here Fenrir!" Standing in front of the tunnel hole, Saya waved her hands and shouted.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*.

With his face red from overexertion, Fenrir slowly made his way towards the cave, so that after a few more seconds he arrived in front of Saya and looked into the hole.

*Slam*.

Dropping the stone into the hole, Fenrir could stand no more and fell to the ground, while breathing heavily.

"Master!" Quickly running to Fenrir, Saeko opened a bottle of water and helped Fenrir drink it, then took out a cloth from her clothes and started wiping Fenrir's sweat.

Staring at the hole, Saya nodded with satisfaction "Even if it doesn't cover the whole entrance, it covers at least 80%, no human or zombie could get through it, unless it's a child."

Turning her gaze to Fenrir and seeing how exhausted his face is, Saya bit her lips for a few seconds, then moved closer to him and kissed his cheek "Thank you~"

Laughing lightly at the scene, Kiriko turned to Rei and approached her, then approached her ear and whispered "Act fast my little one, at this rate you'll be the last~"

Quickly dodging the gaze, Rei snorted with a blush on her face.

Smiling slightly, Rika looked at the house and sighed "We have a lot to do."

...

Under their new home, 3 months passed quickly.

The group learned to coexist smoothly, the forbidden plants were uprooted and discarded, something that was taken as a priority under Shizuka's advice.

It turns out that the plant is extremely harmful to the human body, it can affect the lungs in an irreversible way and just having such a large amount around is already risky.

In these 3 months, the group lived together in the new house.

Having only 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, the group finally decided to use one room as a storage room for food and another room to sleep together.

Smiling softly, Rei leaned against the wall and stared at the man tilling the soil.

"It's amazing how dedicated he is" Sitting down next to Rei, Kiriko smiled and commented.

"Yeah... He can never sit still" Hugging her legs, Rei murmured "His hair is already long... should I cut it?"

"Don't even think about it, it looks amazing like this" Laughing lightly, Kiriko stared at the man and replied.

Fenrir today still has the same height and the same musculature, but if something has changed in him physically, it's his hair, reaching nowadays to the middle of his back.

"Whose idea was it for Fenrir to do that with just shorts? Because he has an incredible mind" Looking at the sweat running down his muscles, Kiriko commented with satisfaction.

"You know he doesn't like to wear clothes for long."

Humming with recognition, Kiriko turned her gaze sideways and asked "Where's Saeko? She's always usually with Fenrir."

"Today she's in charge of the kitchen."

"Oh... and Yuriko with Saya?"

"They are in charge of purifying the water of the river"

"Shizuka and Rika?"

"Shizuka is looking at the medicinal plants in the backyard and Rika went to watch the shore in case anyone arrives."

"And Yuuki?"

"In charge of doing the laundry."

"Oh..."

"And what are you doing here? Today you're supposed to clean the house" Looking at her mother reproachfully, Rei asked.

"I'm done" With a relaxed smile, Kiriko leaned back against the wall and crossed her legs "I'm free to appreciate the beauty of nature."

"*Sigh*" Shaking her head, Rei smiled reassuringly and looked at the beautiful nature around her "Mom..."

"Yes sweetie?"

"This life... I like it"

"..."

"I don't have to push myself for anything, I don't have to put up with people who upset me, and I feel very free... I don't remember when was the last time I was sad."

"..." Turning her gaze to Rei, Kiriko watches her face silently for a few seconds and sighs "It's not a bad life, but..."

"But?"

"I get bored a lot" Pursing her lips, Kiriko sighs "I never liked the quiet life.... I prefer to move around and get into exciting situations... that's why I first created a gang and then I became a cop."

"..." Smiling slightly, Rei commented "Why don't you ask Fenrir to teach you how to fight like him? I'm sure you'd have fun training with katanas."

"Mmmm" Bringing her hand to her chin, Kiriko murmured "Not a bad idea, though I like the spear better... it would serve to pass the time."

"Mn."

"When will you do something?"

"Do what?"

"Take one more step with Fenrir" Looking at her daughter with a mischievous smile, Kiriko continued "Although Yuuki and Saeko don't have sex in the house, I've seen them come back from the forest almost every day with shaky legs, even Saya has had more advances, today she woke him up with a kiss on the lips."

"..." Blushing slightly, Rei looked down and sighed "I don't know..."

"What's your problem? I know how you look at him, I know my daughter and I understand your feelings."

"But he... He's already with Saeko and Yuuki... maybe Saya too..."

"..."

"I... I don't know, I don't want to share my boyfriend" Looking at Fenrir, Rei murmured "I won't tell you that I don't like him... he's cute, nice and even if he doesn't talk much, it gives me satisfaction just to see him... it's complicated to explain, but..."

"You wouldn't share"

"Not only that, I'd also like to start small... start with dates, hold hands, then..." Blushing slightly, Rei fell back as she realized where she was headed.

"..." Looking at her daughter, Kiriko sighed and shook her head "Rei.... the end of the world is upon us, we could die tomorrow without even realizing it from some bomb or some new disease... now is not the time to go around worrying about appointments"

"..."

Smiling softly, Kiriko stroked Rei's head and continued "You are a beautiful and nice young lady, enjoy your youth while you can and don't think so much about tomorrow... that's the only advice I can give you in this situation."

"Enjoy your youth..."

"Besides, at this rate if we don't get killed by a bomb or those things outside, you'll end up dying old and alone" Laughing with amusement, Kiriko stood up and shook off her clothes "I'll go see if Yuriko needs help, see you~"

"Childish" Muttering to herself, Rei chuckled lightly and looked up at the cloudy sky above her "Not thinking about tomorrow..."

After that small talk, the day passed quickly and night came, everyone was busy washing their bodies and getting ready for a nice dinner and a nice time in this chaotic world.

"Ready master" Finishing adjusting Fenrir's Yukata, Saeko stepped back a bit and scanned it thoroughly, then smiled with a blush on her face "You look amazing as always master".

"Yes?" Speaking softly, Fenrir tied his hair back with a garter and looked at himself in the mirror, then nodded and turned his gaze to Saeko.

Staring at the baggy purple Yukata, Fenrir lowered his gaze and looked at hers "Aren't they the same?"

"No master, yours is dark and mine is purple."

"Purple..." Nodding, Fenrir looks up and stares at Saeko "Nice..."

"Thank you master" Lowering her head with a blush on her face, Saeko whispers with a small smile.

"Mn" Nodding, Fenrir turned his gaze towards the door and murmured "Let's go?"

"Yes master" Smiling, Saeko takes Fenrir's hand and they walk out of the bathroom together.

Looking at the beautiful man beside her, Saeko smiled fondly and thought 'It's nice to hear him talk... it only took 3 months for him to learn to speak Japanese... although he still lacks a bit'.

"Kya~" Squealing tenderly, Shizuka quickly ran over and hugged him against her breasts "Little wolf you look as cute as ever!"

"Shizuka" Letting himself be hugged, Fenrir murmured.

"Hehe, the little wolf is already very talkative~" Smiling happily, Shizuka took Fenrir's hand and dragged him into the living room, then sitting on the floor and looking at him with anticipation "Pick up where you left off yesterday."

"Yesterday?" bowing his head, Fenrir asked, staring at all his pack watching him with anticipation.

"Yes, yesterday you said you encountered snakes!" Nodding quickly, Yuuki exclaimed.

"Oh..."

Since they don't have electricity or much to have fun with, the girls took advantage of Fenrir already knowing how to talk enough and started questioning him about his life, something that had been going on for a week now, talking about his day to day life in the forest.

"Come on little wolf, be quick!" Hugging Fenrir's body, Shizuka hugged him from behind and let him lean on her, while Saeko shook her head and sits beside him.

"Snakes..." Lowering his gaze, Fenrir called his hands to his stomach and muttered "It was the most painful thing I experienced..."

"..."

"I was going through my routine, already had my food and was returning to my territory, but... I didn't notice and ended up falling on a nest of snakes..."

"*Gulp* A-a snake pit?" Hugging her legs, Rei asked.

"Yes... no matter where I saw on that dark night... I only saw snakes."

"H-how did you get out?"

"I just got up as fast as I could and ran away."

"Was that all?"

"No... how do you say this...? I was..."

"Bitten?"

"Yes, I had 7 snakes that refused to let go, so I pulled them out and kept running."

"What happened next?"

"Nothing much... I went back to my area and ate, but..."

"But?"

"A few hours later my whole body started to feel weird" Trembling slightly, Fenrir continued speaking without any emotion in his voice "I remember red liquid coming out of my eyes, it hurt to breathe and my hands started to turn black... it was very painful."

"..."
