Summoned

Lights in

"With the risk of being called a nerd, we could hook up the Tv with a console, so not a total waste." I fold my arms as I look at the big plasma Tv that was stashed on one of the long shelves that run the distance of the whole warehouse.

Thankfully, we found that said warehouse in the corner of the estate was untouched, no corpses or signs of break-in. Well, up until now that is, since we did break the lock to get it.

"You, just said it! You neeerd! Gaah! Why is this stupid thing so, heavy?!" Saya, who was trying to swing a sledgehammer we found inside the warehouse retorts, making an almost comical half spin as the sledge's momentum won over Saya's ability to stay balanced.

"Could we not also use it to see if we get any new emergency broadcasts?" Saeko then asks.

"Hah, you think the government will care to do that any time soon? They are probably still too busy picking their pieces off the ground. Especially considering that it will probably be the army that calls the shots now. Since the politicians will hide behind them for safety. Like how they all run to the airport the moment it was deemed safe. That's why Papa desided to work with them" Saya groans as she uses the sledgehammer as a crutch to lean on.

"We could also see if we could set up some cameras and link them to it." I add as I nod.

"The estate already has cameras." Saeko answers back.

"Really? Didn't see any." I arch an eyebrow as I turn toward Saeko.

"What would be the point of having them if they would be easily spotted? If somebody came all this here way to break in, visible cameras would not make much of a deterrent." She responds as she shrugs.

"True, but where is the camera room?" I ask back as I tilt my head.

"Hmm? We did not have one, my father had the cameras on his personal computer, he usually used a cable that he hooked to the machine that he used to connect to the internet." Saeko answers as she folds her arms.

"Internet? A rooter? So you got Ip cameras here? Hope they still work then. They should be rather easy to link em to our laptop if they are not fried. I also think I spotted the rooter in the room we slept in, next to the desk we dragged out." I turn to look around the warehouse as I spoke.

"Yes, that was the one." Saeko nods back at me.

"Well, we searched for corpses here. And the place was thankfully empty. So, the dojo left. Since we also scoured the estate's open area and found nothing. Nothing 'alive' anyway. This should be the last stop." I take a deep breath as I motion behind me with my head, towards the open warehouse gate, then turn around to walk.

"Let's get this over with. I want to see if fatso managed to figure out how the generator works or if I'll have to do everything myself." Saya groans slightly as she also starts to walk.

"Fatso huh? Sometimes I forget how mean you can be, what with how cuddly you've been with me lately." I chuckle as I keep walking.

"W, what stupid nonsense are you spouting?!" Saya quickly retorts.

So yea, apparently, Khota's family also had a generator in their house that was like the one here. And since he was an arm short, he asked to see if he can check it instead.

(I sorta forgot that Khota was also from a well-off family as well...)

And so, we exit the warehouse and into the small back garden, using the stone pathway that circled around a few small ponds and grassy patches towards the dojo.

"Kinda sad how all the koi here are dead..." Saya mumbled as we passed one of the ponds. The water's surface littered with the dead bodies of said fish.
