And with the push of a button, the big gate next to me starts to close.

"And that's that." I nod to myself as I turn to look behind me towards the garage with the solar bank and breaker switches. Khota standing in front of said breaker switches, staring at me.

I make a thumbs up, and turn to run out of the building as the gates closed shut behind me.

Outside, the Humvee was parked a few meters away from me, while a low-hight fire blazed from the corpse-filled hole the rest of the group had dug.

Walking up to the car, I find Rika in the driver seat, Saya in the passenger, and Saeko in the back seat. The car was almost empty, excluding a medium-sized backpack between Saeko's legs, the backpack's top half open, revealing that it was filled with clips and ammo.

As I start to open the door, the gate behind me begins to open again. Asami walking out of the estate, dragging a chair behind her.

"Good luck!" She shouts as she waves at us, then keeps moving towards the 'pire'

"Should have expected the house would need repairs. Or that it would be missing stuff. So much about kicking my feet up." I sighed under my breath as I enter the car. Sitting next to Saeko, who then slid to the center of the back seats.

"Aww, you don't want to go on a date with us? But we were so excited ~" Rika mumbles as she turns to look at me with a fake sad frown.

"It's returning to the town that I'm not excited about. Not the company I'll have." I respond flatly.

"Smooooth~" Rika chuckles as she turns to look ahead again.

"Will you two hobos take this a bit more seriously? Jeez..." Saya groans as she keeps looking at the map, a small smile on her lips despite her whining.

"Have you set out a path?" I ask as I lean toward the two front seats to look at the map.

Several locations circled out with a red marker, a line connecting the circles into what looked a lot like the overview of a race track with how many twists and turns it had. Several 'X' marks around several streets marked on the map as well.

"Of course I have, what did you think I was doing? Wasting my time?" Saya scoffs.

"Low key the pinkette was trying so hard to make sure you were pleased with her~" Rika chuckles right after.

"N, no I wasn't!" Saya quickly blurts out.

"Saya doesn't give a single fig about me."I shrug as I lean back against my seat.

"I didn't say that!" Saya as quickly yelps as she turns to glare at me.

"Do not worry Naier. You are still the most important person to me." Saeko flatly adds as she leans her shoulder on me, throwing a side glance at the now fuming pinkette...

"Ekhem. We should. Get going..." I 'clear' my throat, then point towards the road ahead through the front windshield.

"Humff. Idiots." Saya narrows her eyes slightly as she returns to her normal posture, then turns to look at the map.

And, as the car starts to move...

"Where are we going first?" I ask as I lean toward Saya. Who turns to glance at me before looking back at the map.

"Here." She points at a circle on the map. A circle that was actually, much further away compared to if we took the 'reverse' track.

"Why not this?" I ask as I point at the closest circle.
