"Tell me!"
Tsubasa nodded.
He really had no intention of abandoning Saya and Rei!
Honestly!
His reason for doing that was to prepare for an escape later.
Some things are better said frankly.
He wasn't like Kohta, who was already very close to the girls in the main group, like family!
Up until now, he could only be considered in the same team as Saeko and Shizuka!
He wasn't close to Saya and Rei yet either!
If they wanted to join the team, it was better to explain from the beginning, getting to know each other slowly later wouldn't be a problem.
Rei was an understanding girl. She immediately stated her stance and her role, and she wasn't resentful about that slap, unlike what Tsubasa had thought.
If that was the case, then bringing her along wasn't an issue. If Saya could really be convinced, Tsubasa wouldn't mind bringing her along either.
Trust is built slowly like this.
"Even though we're not dating yet, and you haven't accepted me either, I can do for you what Senior Saeko can do!"
Tsubasa frowned.
Something was strange!
Saya grinned and continued, "I can also show you a boobs and play with my feet..."
Damn it!!!
Tsubasa's eyes widened immediately.
Did she really just say that?
Didn't she understand that it's better to just look and not say anything?
"If there's no other reason, it's better to just be quiet!"
Tsubasa's face immediately turned sour.
"I'm not finished yet, don't be angry!"
Saya pouted, "Even though I'm not as great as Saeko and Rei, and can't help you kill zombies, my memory is very strong. I can quickly remember anything after reading it just once or twice, and I won't forget it. Moreover, I'm also good at analyzing."
"I remember all the floor plans and the structure of the school, including all the roads outside. I can also help you guys escape from other schools next time!"
"And..."
"I also can't contact my family!"
"So, as long as you don't separate me from you, what I said earlier still applies."
Listening to what Saya had said, Tsubasa nodded silently. Although she was a bit arrogant, he had to admit that she had abilities that ordinary people didn't have.
Extensive knowledge, good at analyzing, and like she said earlier, a super memory – this hadn't even appeared in anime before.
But!
There were already examples like Saeko and Shizuka, so it wasn't that strange.
In the original anime, her position was like a military advisor for the entire team!
But upon hearing Saya's last addition, Tsubasa's face immediately turned sour again.
Damn it!
He had already told her to just look and not say anything, but she still did!
"Okay, as long as you can promise not to cause trouble, and you're sure you can help us, then you can come along for now!"
"Yesss! Tsubasa, I knew you wouldn't leave me!"
As soon as Tsubasa finished speaking, Saya immediately approached him excitedly and hugged him very tightly.
Damn it!
They were talking nicely, but she attacked with a 'boobs'!
"Let go!"
Tsubasa's eyes twitched. Damn it, weren't you supposed to be a very proud person?
Why did it turn out like this?
Even though this 'boobs bomb' was quite shocking, his girlfriend was right beside him!
"Ugh, I'm so happy, just a short hug, okay? I've been chasing you for two years, but you kept ignoring me, and earlier you wanted to leave me behind, can't I even have a short hug now?"
Saya didn't even lift her head, she just refused to let go.
"Takagi-san, don't go too far!"
Seeing Saya clinging to Tsubasa like a koala, her small face rubbing against Tsubasa's chest, with no intention of letting go, Saeko finally couldn't stand it.
"Tsubasa said this is only temporary. If you cause trouble for Tsubasa or us next time, we will still leave you behind. At that point, you can only become zombie food!"
Seeing Saeko, his legitimate girlfriend, had spoken, Saya finally didn't dare to do anything more and reluctantly let go of Tsubasa.
"Busujima-senpai, please don't be angry. I was just too excited."
"Takagi-san, do you think I would believe that?"
"Ugh, it's true. Besides, you were watching me earlier, I couldn't do anything!"
"...Tsubasa is my boyfriend, don't mess with him."
"Senior, this is the apocalypse, don't be so stingy!"
Saya was indeed a clever girl.
She knew that her position was currently weak and she could no longer compete with Saeko openly like before, so she started being annoying.
But Saeko wasn't someone who was easily trampled on either.
No matter what Saya said, she remained unwavering, and her facial expression didn't change much.
He had already told her!
She was Tsubasa's girlfriend!
…
"Oh dear, I was so scared. I thought Tsubasa would really leave Rei and Takagi behind!"
Shizuka, who was truly innocent, saw that the discussion was finally over. She patted her chest belatedly, wobbled twice, and then took a relieved breath.
"I didn't expect Tsubasa to still be so kind!"
"Sensei Shizuka, you can talk, but could you please stop poking my cheeks with your finger?"
Seeing Shizuka poking his cheeks while talking, Tsubasa suddenly thought this older sister had the potential to become a female thug.
"Ah, teacher thinks Tsubasa is so cute!"
Shizuka tilted her head.
"..."
Tsubasa immediately didn't want to deal with this innocent girl anymore.
Rei stood beside them without saying anything. She watched Saya, who kept following Saeko, talking non-stop, constantly trying to manipulate her but failing, and then looked at Tsubasa and Shizuka. Her eyes were full of envy.
If only she could be as brave as Saya!
Or!
If only she could be as innocent as Shizuka!
