Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Rika Minami

"Wow... so amazing..." The women in the car watched Saeko fighting, their faces filled with awe.

"But... Saeko's expression looks a bit strange," Rei frowned and murmured.

Watching Saeko's performance, Goku chuckled. "Watching Saeko fight is really a pleasure! Well, I can't fall behind either!" With that, he increased the strength in his hands and charged forward, brutally carving a path through the zombies. His spear swept horizontally, sending all the zombies near the woman flying. Their bodies smashed against the walls and exploded into pieces...

"Hey, are you okay?" Goku stood in front of her, blocking the way so that no zombies could get close.

"I'm fine. Thank you so much... There are too many zombies here; we must get out immediately." After the initial shock, the woman quickly regained her composure.

"This is too easy!" Goku grinned. "Follow me!" He charged forward again, mowing down zombies left and right. Blood splattered everywhere...

"T-This..." The woman behind him was completely stunned by Goku's inhuman strength.

"This guy really is a monster! Zombies are like toys to him!" Saya sighed in amazement from inside the car.

Before long, the hundreds of zombies in the area had all been wiped out...

Goku walked up to Saeko and grinned. "So, how does it feel? Feels great, right?"

Saeko took a deep breath to calm her excitement. Her face was still flushed, as if she had just experienced an intense climax. "You... will take responsibility for me, right?"

"Of course!" Goku laughed heartily and took Saeko's hand, leading her back toward the Hummer.

The other women got out of the car. The woman who had been saved by Goku saw Saya and suddenly became emotional.

"Saya?" She removed her helmet, revealing a mature and beautiful face.

"Mom!" Saya's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Thank you for saving me. I'm Saya's mother, Yuriko Takagi. If it weren't for you all, I would never have seen Saya again! And thank you for looking after my daughter all this time." Yuriko comforted Saya before turning to Goku and the others with gratitude.

Hayashi bowed in return. "It's nothing! Friends should help each other."

"Mom, why are you here? What about Dad?" After calming down, Saya looked at her mother with confusion.

"Your father... is already dead..." Yuriko's face was filled with sorrow.

"What...? Dad... Dad is... How is that possible?" Saya was stunned. Even though she had some resentment toward her father, hearing that he had died still brought her to tears. "How did Dad die?"

"I... I killed him with my own hands..." Yuriko's face twisted in pain.

"What?!" Saya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"A large group of zombies broke through our home's defenses. Your father protected me, but he was overwhelmed and got bitten... It didn't take long before he turned... He was in so much pain... He kept begging me to end his suffering..." As she spoke, Yuriko's voice started trembling, and she could no longer continue.

"Mom..." Saya hugged her mother tightly, and the two of them wept together.

Goku was completely dumbfounded. "I don't remember this happening in the original story... Is this a butterfly effect? Or just a difference in the timeline?" He was puzzled.

He quickly clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Now that there's no point in going to Saya's house anymore, our next target is Shizuka's friend, Rika Minami! Shizuka, do you still remember your friend's number? Call her!"

"Ah~ I totally forgot about that! But... I left my phone at school..."

"Use mine!" Hayashi handed her phone to her.

"Ah, thank you!" Shizuka happily took it and started dialing. "Uh~ 1 is here... 2 is here... 3 is here..."

Saya facepalmed and sighed. "Let me dial for you."

"I'll forget the number if you interrupt me! Don't bother me!" Shizuka pouted and focused on pressing the numbers.

The other women: "..."

More than a minute later...

"Hello, hello~~" The call finally connected.

"Ah! Rika, you're still alive! We borrowed some guns... and I've been through so many horrible things!" Shizuka exclaimed excitedly.

"Save that for later. Where are you now? My apartment?" Rika's voice came from the other end of the call.

Shizuka: "We already left... We're looking for you now. Where are you?"

"Idiot! I never asked you to come looking for me! It's dangerous here. Find a safe place to hide. I'll come to you when I get the chance!"

Shizuka, completely unconcerned, said, "Ah~ don't worry! I have a super amazing boyfriend now! He can literally kick a bus into the sky... And he can fly too..."

"...What?! You got a boyfriend?... Is he reliable? He's not tricking you, is he?..." Rika seemed completely focused on Shizuka's love life and ignored everything else she had said.

Shizuka blushed instantly. "No way! Goku is a really good person!"

"I'm at the offshore airport right now. Come find me there. Bring your boyfriend too... I'll make some time to pick you up."

On the way to the offshore airport...

Inside the Hummer, it was so crowded that everyone was practically pressed together. Out of the eight people inside, Goku was undoubtedly the happiest—completely surrounded by curvy, gorgeous women, squeezed right in the middle. There was no need to describe how blissful he felt! In such a tight space, even if he got suffocated, it would be worth it!

Saya had already explained Goku's identity to Yuriko. After the initial shock, she agreed to go with them to Goku's world. This world was already 'ruined,' and without any remaining family, there was nothing left to stay for. If she could escape to another world for a peaceful life, why not?

Goku was thrilled—his harem had just gained another beautiful mature woman! Just thinking about the future, where he could enjoy both mother and daughter together, made his heart race.

As the vehicle bounced along the road, Goku was completely lost in the intoxicating fragrance of the women around him...

The Hummer sped forward... As they passed by a police station, Rei suddenly spotted a zombie in a police uniform on the street. Her pupils shrank, and she covered her mouth in shock. "D-Dad...?! How is this possible...?! Stop the car! Stop the car, now!"

"Eh?" Shizuka immediately hit the brakes, and Rei jumped out of the car. Goku followed closely behind, clearing out the surrounding zombies. Saeko, gripping her wooden sword, stood guard in front of the Hummer.

"Dad..." Rei stared at the zombie before her, tears streaming down her face. Goku patted her shoulder in silent comfort. Rei instantly threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably...

Her father, now a zombie, lunged toward them without hesitation. Goku kicked him five meters away.

Rei, gripping a bayonet-fitted rifle, slowly approached the fallen zombie and stared deeply into its eyes. "Dad... rest in peace." She drove the bayonet through its head. Blood splattered onto her face, mixing with her tears. Then, she turned back toward the car...

The other women comforted her, and she immediately threw herself into Hayashi's arms, crying once more. After everything that had happened, she had become much stronger.

The Hummer roared to life and continued toward its destination...

"Rika is working at the offshore airport... Hold on tight, we're going into the water!" Shizuka shouted playfully as she drove the Hummer straight into the sea.

"Rika, wait for me! We'll be there soon!"

Meanwhile, at the offshore airport, Rika and her partner were locked in a fierce battle with the zombies.

"This… This is insane! We're supposed to be cops, but we're treating people like roadkill!" Rika's partner, Tajima, gritted his teeth as he rammed through the undead in their vehicle, mowing them down without hesitation.

"…They're not people anymore," Rika murmured after a moment of silence.

The vehicle skidded into a garage and came to a stop. A zombie had latched onto the windshield, relentlessly pounding against the glass.

Rika and Tajima exchanged a knowing glance.

"Rock, paper… scissors!"

Rika threw out paper, while Tajima went with scissors.

Losing the game, Rika sighed as she stepped out of the car with Tajima. The two quickly made their way to a nearby fuel truck.

"I'll cover you… Can you start the engine without a key?" Tajima asked, raising his gun and swiftly shooting down several zombies around them.

"One of the rookies I 'mentored' back in traffic division taught me a thing or two," Rika replied with a smirk. She climbed into the truck's cabin, her lower half still dangling outside as she worked on hotwiring the ignition.

Meanwhile, Tajima took position near the fuel truck, eliminating any zombies that got too close.

Suddenly, the truck's engine roared to life. Tajima's eyes lit up with relief as he quickly climbed onto the iron ladder at the back, shooting down two more zombies.

"Alright… We're moving out!"

"Got it," Rika's voice came from the front as the fuel truck slowly rolled forward.
