"This is bad—she's not cumming."
"Oi—enough with that joke."
Nach, together with Mitsushima, was currently on the rooftop of the shopping mall, scanning the surroundings with binoculars and looking for any possible sign of Saki and her horde of undead approaching their location.
"Maybe you lost her already during your escape with the helicopter," Mitsushima said, hoping they wouldn't have to face an army of undead led by an overpowered, intelligent undead like Nach had warned.
"That girl was smart. Even if she lost sight of the helicopter, she would still be able to follow us based on the direction we were heading."
For someone who quickly thought of securing the control room during her attack at the hotel, Nach was sure Saki was coming.
His earlier remark, however, was more about why she hadn't come yet—something he had already realized himself.
"She's really forcing us into a corner."
"What does that mean?"
Either Saki was waiting for them to retreat to their real base at the Takagi Estate, or she wanted to confront them at night, where escaping on foot outside the shopping mall would be incredibly dangerous.
And with only an hour before sunset, escaping somewhere far away would be implausible.
"Either way, both situations would put us at a disadvantage," Nach said, making Mitsushima even more worried.
"Grrr—this is all your fault!" Mitsushima shouted, her face blushing in both anger and embarrassment.
"We all could have escaped somewhere else earlier, but you just wouldn't stop doing it!"
Nach's intimacy with Saeko, Mitsushima, Yui, and even another round with Miku ended around three in the afternoon.
And when Mitsushima woke up, feeling incredibly good and satisfied, Nach genuinely apologized, saying he truly regretted doing it with her while he wasn't fully aware of the situation.
Although Mitsushima forgave Nach and didn't actually mind doing it with him, going for another round just to see her expression and reaction during their intimacy was rather unreasonable, considering the threat of the undead horde heading their way.
Especially after he climaxed inside her again, even though he made her take a morning-after pill.
"But you said it was okay to continue," Nach said, teasing Mitsushima as he embraced her.
"How are you still hard after all of that?" Mitsushima muttered, feeling Nach's massive erection pressing against her belly.
"Just how much stamina you have?"
"Enough to satisfy all my lovers overnight."
Without even confirming it with words—not that she could ask while her lips were taken in a kiss—Mitsushima understood that when Nach said his lovers, it included her as well.
The only question in her mind was how many lovers he actually had, not that she cared anymore as she returned his kiss.
"Don't tell me you two are at it again?" Yui said as she opened the rooftop door, drawing Nach and Mitsushima's attention and making them stop their intimate kiss and part their lips.
"Busujima, Yuuki, and Asami-san are back," she added, urging them to follow her down to the fourth floor restaurant, which served as their base.

While Nach and Mitsushima were on the rooftop, Saeko, Miku, and Asami had gone down to the grocery section on the ground floor to gather supplies Nach had instructed them to collect.
The first items Nach told them to gather were glass bottles—either soft drinks or wine.
"Asami knows where the beverages are, so just follow me."
Following Asami's lead, Saeko and Miku each pushed two grocery carts.
"It would be wasteful to throw away good wine, so let's just get bottled soft drinks," Saeko said, stopping Miku from stocking up on the most expensive wine.
"But it's for Nach-sama," Miku insisted, pleading to at least get one bottle as an offering.
"If it's just one—and only after the fight."
"I knew you really care about Nach-sama, Saeko."
After filling two carts with soft drink glass bottles, they moved on to the next item: alcohol.
"Asami knows where the drugstore is, so let's go there."
Asami cheerfully continued leading the way, until she suddenly stopped and became anxious upon seeing two high school boys and another survivor coming out of the drugstore.
"Shit—it's those crazy girls again," said the thug as he drew his chopper knife.
"We don't want any trouble, so please don't hurt us!" followed the boy carrying a large amount of medicine, even dropping a few bottles that he didn't bother to pick up.
"Eek!"
The second high school boy immediately ran away the instant he saw Saeko and Miku brandishing their weapons.
"Wait for us, you coward!"
"Don't leave me behind!"
"What the heck are they doing here?" Miku said, watching the three men run away, completely terrified of their group.
"That doesn't matter. Please lead us, Asami-san," Saeko said with her gentle smile, reassuring Asami that she had nothing to worry about.
"Right—Asami isn't scared of them anymore!" Asami said, holding the short double-barrel shotgun she had received from Nach.
After gathering a cart full of alcohol bottles, their next stop was the hardware store on the second floor.
"Look at these, Saeko!" Miku shouted excitedly, holding a small splitting axe, a large chopping axe, and a sledgehammer as replacement weapons for herself and Nach.
After all, Nach's axe blade had become dull, and Miku's sledgehammer was nearing its breaking point.
"Let's take some of these as well," Saeko replied, picking up several chopper knives—machetes—to arm the other girls.
The new weapons, however, weren't the last items Nach had instructed them to get.
"There's no gasoline, but Asami found where the oil is!"
With the materials needed to make Molotov cocktails complete—including the lighters—Saeko, Miku, and Asami returned to the fourth-floor restaurant base.
---
"We got what you asked for, Nach-sensei," Saeko said, greeting Nach along with Mitsushima and Yui.
"I got you a new axe, Nach-sama~!"
Miku rushed over, presenting her offering.
"Good work, both of you," Nach replied, patting Saeko and Miku on the head.
"Asami did a good job as well—Nach-sensei, Mitsushima-senpai!"
Nach wanted to praise and reward Asami with a head pat too, but Mitsushima quickly intervened, pulling Asami away while giving her the praise and head pat Asami had been asking for.
Don't you dare touch my kohai—or so Nach interpreted Mitsushima's threatening glare.
While Saeko distributed the machetes to Morita, Misuzu, Toshimi, Taniuchi, and the other girls—teaching them the basics of properly wielding the weapons—Nach proceeded to make Molotov cocktails with Hiro.
"Huh? They were at the drugstore?" Nach said, listening to Asami and Mitsushima's conversation.
"Mhm. They had a lot of this with them," Asami said, holding up one of the medicines the student had dropped, which she picked up out of curiosity.
Are they trying to…
Everyone shared the same awkward thought as they stared at the medicine labeled laxative.

At Shido's group's base in the jewelry section on the third floor of the shopping mall:
"Puke it or poop it out—we don't care which hole it comes out of."
"But if you don't, we'll make a large hole in your stomach, Shido."
