Saeko Busujima: Ahem…
I think I can explain what a vector is.
Saeko Busujima: Simply put, a vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
👩🏫
Saeko Busujima: As for vector manipulation…
She stopped there, feeling that what she was about to say sounded far too ridiculous.
Adrian: You’re right.
Vector Manipulation lets you freely control the direction of vectors, allowing you to manipulate the forces associated with them.
Adrian: But the “vectors” this ability works on cover a much broader range than the standard physics definition.
Adrian: Besides things like momentum and electromagnetism, it also includes physical phenomena with defined directions, such as light, radiation, infrasound, even the surrounding oxygen environment.🤯
Adrian: All of those fall within the scope of Vector Manipulation.
Adrian could only think to himself…
This is “Kamachi Physics.” Don’t try applying real-world physics to it.
😏
March 7th: Whoa… my head’s spinning.
I know every single word you just said, so why do I have no idea what any of it means when they’re put together?
Aqua: This goddess doesn’t need to understand it!
Divine power is all I need!
Exusiai: I think I get it.
That’s amazing.
It feels way stronger than Originium Arts.
Saeko Busujima: The ability to manipulate vectors at will…
It’s truly unbelievable.
Adrian: Haha, no matter how powerful an ability is, it still needs to be leveled up.
Adrian: Anyway, I’m in a good mood.
Time to send a red packet.
🤑
[Adrian has sent a Doomsday Points Red Packet!]
[Exusiai claimed it!]
[March 7th claimed it!]
[Aqua claimed it!]
[Saeko Busujima claimed it!]
March 7th: Wow!
I got 100 points!
I’m the luckiest one!
Thanks, boss!
Love you!
Exusiai: I got 80 points.
Thanks, boss!
Only 50?
Has Lady Luck abandoned this goddess?
Saeko Busujima: 70 points.
Thank you, Adrian.
Adrian didn’t really care.
It was only 300 points.
Compared to the ability he’d just drawn, it was practically nothing.
Besides, he’d tested every group function in one go.
Totally worth it.
“Adrian… can you hear me?”
A crisp, anxious voice called out.
His attention snapped back to reality.
Everything around him was pitch black.
Instinctively, he reached out.
“Mm!”
A startled yelp echoed through the darkness.
“…”
Adrian froze.
He seemed to have touched somewhere he definitely shouldn’t have.
😳
He jerked his hand back immediately.
After an awkward cough, he asked,
“Ahem… uh… what’s going on?”
“…”
After a brief silence, Yukino answered, her voice trembling slightly in the darkness.
“The zombies outside suddenly started acting strangely, so I turned off the lights.”
Adrian carefully felt his way to the window.
This time he knew where Yukino was, so he didn’t accidentally grope around again.
He lifted part of the blanket covering the window and slowly cracked it open.
Instantly, a chaotic chorus of roars poured in.
“Raaagh!”
“Grrraah!”
“Roooar!”
The cries came one after another without end.
Groups of zombies howled and screeched as if they’d all been pumped full of adrenaline.
🧟♂️
He quietly shut the window and covered it with the blanket again.
“I think it’s because it’s nighttime,” Adrian guessed.
“The zombies seem to get more active after dark.”
“So let’s avoid turning on any lights tonight. I’d rather not attract them. I still want a good night’s sleep.”
“Okay.”
Yukino answered softly.
Silence settled over the room once more.
“So… I guess I’ll go to sleep?”
“Okay.”
Hearing Yukino stand up, Adrian lay down on the bed.
Yukino took the bed opposite his.
In the darkness, she gently smoothed down her skirt.
Her lips pressed together.
The place he’d accidentally touched still seemed to carry a lingering warmth.
On top of that, it was the first time she’d ever shared a room with a boy.
The mix of nervousness, embarrassment, and restless emotions made it impossible for her to fall asleep.
Adrian, on the other hand, had spent the whole day on the move.
He was exhausted.
It didn’t take long before his breathing became slow and steady.
Listening to him fall asleep, Yukino gradually relaxed.
She took a slow breath, closed her eyes, and finally drifted off.
…
Rustle…
A faint noise woke Yukino.
Opening her eyes, she saw that Adrian was already up.
His shirt was off, exposing his upper body as he stretched.
She sat up.
Hearing the movement, Adrian wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around.
“Did I wake you?”
“No. I just happened to wake up.”
As he spoke, he sat across from her, using what looked like a clean towel to wipe away the sweat.
Yukino’s gaze unconsciously lingered on him.
His smooth skin, well-defined muscles, and healthy, handsome face made it surprisingly difficult to look away.
For the first time, she began to understand why so many girls were drawn to handsome guys with great physiques.
“Hm?”
Adrian noticed her staring.
Startled, Yukino quickly looked away and awkwardly changed the subject.
“So… what’s your plan for today?”
“I’m going out to clear more zombies. Honestly, I’m more worried about leaving you here by yourself.”
Feeling the concern in his words, warmth quietly spread through Yukino’s heart.
“Thank you… for everything you’ve done for me.”
“I only survived because of you.”
“So please… don’t let me become a burden.”
“If there’s ever a chance for me to repay you…”
“…I wouldn’t even mind dying.” 🥺
“…..”
