"Nothing seems to be moving." Saya mumbled as she looked around through her scope, laying flat on the left side of the car's roof. Said car parked right under the main gate.

"The main building's first floor is a broken mess, whole parts of the wall seem to be missing, as I can see straight through the house and towards the back side of the estate." I add as I point ahead, my feet touching the hood while I was sitting on the center of the roof...

(The first floor seems to have several walls made from traditional Japanese paper/lattice walls. I'd go on a limb and say that these are bad for keeping corpses out, seeing how it seems like a damn train passed through the first floor...)

"The back wall, half of the left side, and the front side of the first floor were traditionally built." Saeko, who was next to me on the right side continued.

"So all that noise 'should' have moved most corpses out of the first floor then." I nod slightly as I fold my arms.

"Hypothetically." Saeko nods back.

"The second and third floor should be intact though, as they were made with sturdier materials" Saeko continues.

"Make the bottom floor out of paper, the upper floor out of titanium. How come the house is still standing?" I ask as I chuckle.

"If the supports and load-bearing walls are sturdy, then some open holes won't matter." Khota, who was with his upper body out of the hatch, replies flatly. Causing me to turn and stare at the guy.

"W, what?" He then asks as he glances at me.

"I didn't know you worked in construction." I respond as I arch an eyebrow.

"Ahh, well. Uhh, there was this survival game I played that had realistic structural support physics and if you messed up your whole house could get toppled if you put too much weight at the wrong spot..." Khota mumbles.

"Huh, so the geek's knowledge ended up being useful." Saya scoffs.

"...Saya, you know I'm a 'geek' too in that aspect right?" I sigh slightly as I turn to the pinkette.

"Uhh, well you're..."

"And were you not the one playing video games on that laptop Saya?" I cut her off with a small smirk.

"You play video games?!" Khota then exclaims, leaning his face towards Saya with sparks in his eyes.

"L, let's focus on the task at hand you idiots!" Saya quickly blurts out as she turns to look back through her scope.

"Busted~" I chuckle as I turn to look ahead as well.

"Shut up..." Saya mumbled.

"So, should we start?" Saeko then asks as she leans toward me.

Other than the main building in the center, there was a roofed garage to the left, big enough for about three Humvees, behind it I could make out a big building that looked like a warehouse.

In the center was the main building as mentioned, and to the right, another smaller warehouse/garage, that also had the generator attached at the outer side that faced the main building, based on what Saeko told me.

Behind that in the distance the Dojo was partly visisble. Behind the main building, a Japanese-style garden, at least from what I could see through the holes in the main house.

And finally, in front was an open unused space. Unpaved, meaning that if somebody had the know-how, they could hypothetically plant something.

"We'll start with the two small warehouses next to the house, then move to the main building." I say as I get up, checking my Scar-H and sword.
