Survival? Definitely Not A Test

Chapter VI

"So? You sort your problems out?" Takemichi looked at the two in front of him, leaning on the door frame.

Mikey and Kazutora traded a look with each other before slowly nodding at Takemichi. True, even if it was something hard to discuss, they managed to talk it out without ripping each other's throats. They could forgive each other in this apocalypse.

Takemichi looked at them with doubts in his eyes. After a few seconds in silence, Takemichi sighed before nodding, stepping aside to let them in.

"The foods are on the table, eat well"

Mikey and Kazutora brightened at the permission and immediately bolted into the house. Takemichi looked at them and shook his head fondly before closing the door shut.

Takemichi looked around the house, noticing how they all snuggled close to each other. The happy look on their face after eating a proper meal in a month. The shocked blanket wrapped around them. They might be talking normally but everyone could feel that they were still shaken by the chaos around them.

He looked at them in understanding, his eyes softened. They reminded him of his dream in the past, the dream that he never got to reach. To have someone with him at the start of the apocalypse.

In the corner of the room, he saw Luna and Mana talking to their brother happily. Their hands moved here and there when they talked about how they and Takemichi met. Their eyes shone with admiration.

"-and, and he was like gwaah. Mr, bad men went boom! Take-nii is so cool. Mana wants to be like him!" Mana said excitedly. Luna nodded in agreement while Mitsuya chuckled at their cute way of telling the story, sweatdropped a little when they looked just fine telling how the undead's head explode.

"Well, that's quite a journey you got there"

Luna and Mana brightened and continued their story. They talked to Mitsuya about whatever they experienced with Takemichi until they felt their energies were drained.

When Mitsuya saw their eyelids were getting heavy, he pats their head gently. "Come on, it's past your bedtime. Let's sleep?" Mitsuya asked them.

When Luna and Mana nodded their head and kissed his cheeks, Mitsuya stood up from his seat offering his hands, expecting his little sisters to grab them. He was standing dumbfounded when he saw Luna and Mana standing up just for them to run up to Takemichi, hands lifted upwards.

The other occupations stared at the frozen Mitsuya sweatdropped. Looking at the stunned Mitsuya, Takemichi gave him an apologetic smile before lifting both kids in his arms and bringing them to his bedroom.

Mitsuya looked at their retreated forms, feeling dejected. He waved dazedly when he saw how his two little sisters waved at him sleepily before slumping on Takemichi's shoulder. He barely heard footsteps heading towards him, too shocked to care about anything around him.

"You okay?" Mitsuya heard the concerned voice beside him. When he looked at his side, he saw Takemichi's two little friends, Takuya and Atsushi. They offered him a soft smile and he tried to return it as best as he could while still being in shock.

"I'm... fine?" Mitsuya answered them or more like questioned.

Takuya and Atsushi looked at each other before giving him an understanding smile. "Don't mind about earlier" Takuya convinced Mitsuya to have a seat before seating himself beside Mitsuya. The others Toman looked at them, opening their ears to eavesdrop.

"A month ago, Takemichi showed up in front of his house with two kids, your younger sisters. When we asked him about it, he told us about how the older, Luna went outside to search for you or their mom only for the undead to surround her." Mitsuya took a sharp breath when he heard those creatures surrounding his sister "When he saw them reach out for Luna, he ran as fast as he could to save her. And he succeeds"
