“As long as you can follow my orders, then I don’t mind.”
Yuto pondered for a moment before finally nodding.
To be fair, taking these people in still had its benefits.
First, they could carry the weapons on the weapon wall that he could not take with him.
If it were just Yuto and Yukino alone, they naturally would not be able to carry so many guns and so much ammunition.
In this cruel apocalypse, guns and bullets would always be the best helpers, bar none.
Second, these students could also serve as human sandbags to draw zombies away.
If the team encountered an emergency where they were surrounded by zombies, Yuto would absolutely abandon anyone dragging him down without hesitation so that he could survive.
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately filled with delight.
“Really?
That’s great!”
“As expected of Yuto-kun, you’re so cool!”
“Hey, Yuto-kun, do you have a girlfriend right now?”
In this dangerous zombie apocalypse, being able to receive the protection of a strong person was already a blessing amid misfortune for this group of high school students.
The boys in the group exchanged glances and collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
At the very least, their safety was temporarily guaranteed.
As for some of the more lively girls, they had already taken the initiative to move closer to the boy.
The gazes they looked at him with were filled with worship and admiration.
As for the conditions Yuto had previously proposed, no one would think they were harsh anymore.
Could conditions proposed by a strong person really be called conditions?
The strong preyed on the weak.
That was originally the highest truth of the world.
If they could not abide by it, they could only blame themselves for being too weak.
Tap, tap…
Just then, the sound of small leather shoes lightly stepping on the floor came closer from afar.
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Kasumigaoka Utaha walked over of her own accord, her long legs wrapped in black stockings.
She had an elegant appearance and a graceful figure.
Even among all the girls, she was an exceptionally eye-catching presence.
But for some reason, a faint trace of embarrassment had appeared on this beautiful black-haired girl’s face.
“Yuto-kun, can you come outside with me for a moment?”
“Huh?
What?!”
“That Kasumigaoka Utaha… is she actually trying to hook up with Yuto-kun?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha, with her explosive figure and gorgeous looks, was undoubtedly an extremely attention-grabbing presence among the students.
More than one boy had hidden fantasies about her.
But now, this aloof beauty who had never shown warmth to any man was actually taking the initiative to invite Yuto for a private conversation.
For a moment, jealousy appeared in many of the boys’ eyes.
Meanwhile, the expressions of some girls visibly turned ugly.
If Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her pride and competed with them for Yuto, ordinary girls really might not be her match…
There was nothing they could do. Get faster updates on g.com.
The other party’s character model was simply too top-tier.
“Say whatever you have to say here.” Even after looking at the attractive girl before him, Yuto’s expression remained very calm.
He had not forgotten that when he first arrived here, she had falsely accused him of peeping under her skirt and called him a pervert.
“This…”
Utaha’s face flushed red with a “shua,” and the fingers clutching her skirt turned white at the knuckles.
Being rejected in public, then having to expose her own embarrassing mistake in front of so many people, left her so mortified that she could hardly raise her head.
But she took a deep breath and still gritted her teeth without retreating.
Her voice carried a faint tremble that was difficult to detect.
“I understand.”
The moment those words came out, the classroom instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Whether boys or girls, everyone pricked up their ears.
Even Yukino, who had been resting nearby, turned her head and cast a curious look over.
Now, everyone’s gazes landed on the two of them at once.
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyes and looked at Yuto.
Those peach-blossom eyes, which always carried pride, were now filled with regret, even a little panic.
“Yuto-kun, earlier… I misunderstood you.”
“I shouldn’t have said you were peeping at me… It was completely a misunderstanding.”
“Boom!”
Her words were like a thunderclap, instantly causing the crowd to erupt.
“A misunderstanding?
What misunderstanding?”
“So Yuto-kun was actually slandered?”
Amid the discussions, Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head even further.
The roots of her ears were so red they looked like they might drip blood, but her tone became increasingly clear.
“Only now did I realize that back then, you weren’t intentionally looking at that ‘place’ at all.”
At this point, she abruptly raised her head.
Her eyes were slightly red, but she stared fixedly at boy, lowering her posture to an extreme.
“Yuto-kun, I’m sorry!
I was wrong before.
I shouldn’t have made a random judgment without understanding the situation, and I especially shouldn’t have called you a pervert!”
“What?!”
The surroundings completely exploded.
The boys were dumbfounded.
That aloof Kasumigaoka Utaha was actually apologizing to Yuto in public?
And she had even exposed her own embarrassing mistake completely?
Yuto’s expression remained calm.
“So?
Are you saying all this now because you want me to praise you for ‘having the courage to admit your mistakes’?” This story is hosted at g.com.
His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring over the literary girl and making her entire body stiffen.
She knew Yuto was not so easy to fool.
The previous slander was like a thorn lodged between them.
It was not something that could be smoothed over with a single “sorry.”
She clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms.
After taking a deep breath, she actually stepped half a pace forward and bowed slightly.
For the proud Kasumigaoka Utaha, this action was practically synonymous with “humiliation.”
“I know a single apology isn’t enough.” Her voice carried a trace of trembling, but it was exceptionally firm.
“I’m willing to take responsibility for calling you a pervert before.
From now on, in the team, I’m willing to follow your orders, I’ll do anything you ask…”
Yuto stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly gave a mocking laugh.
“Really?
Are you willing to do anything?”
His gaze lingered on those slender, alluring legs, wrapped tightly in sheer black stockings.
His eyes were filled with amusement.
“You…?!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s beautiful face turned crimson.
A trace of humiliation flashed through her beautiful eyes.
As a young and successful beautiful author, she not only had outstanding looks, but her academic performance was also at the top of her grade.
At such a young age, under the pen name “Kasumi Utako,” she had published the light novel she had written, Love Metronome, with total sales surpassing 500,000 copies!
Figure, appearance, first place in her grade…
These were things ordinary people could not obtain no matter how desperately they worked.
Yet Kasumigaoka Utaha had obtained them all with ease.
This had inevitably given rise to pride in the girl’s heart.
If it were before, Utaha wouldn’t have spared a boy like Yuto a single glance.
But now, the situation between the two of them had been reversed.
Fortune had turned.
Instead, it was Utaha who needed to rely on Yuto for survival and beg for his forgiveness.
She didn’t have the ability to survive in this dangerous world on her own.
She didn’t want to die a meaningless death, so she had no choice but to rely on Yuto.
“Listen carefully.
I still haven’t forgiven you.
You’ll have to repay this debt sooner or later.”
Yuto was too lazy to say anything more and waved his hand, signaling Utaha to step back.
Right now, they were still not safe.
He did not have the leisure to punish this tempting and attractive black-stockinged beauty.
But not having the time did not mean he was magnanimous.
Since she wanted to receive his protection, she would inevitably have to pay the corresponding price.
When the time came, old debts and new debts would all be settled together.
