We got out of Humvee, leaving the weeb Diva and Aiko inside.
"Okay girls, let's finish things up."
Saya cracked her knuckle. "I am gonna have an intimate talk with mama."
She was pissed at Yuriko, probably because she did not call us for help.
"What a coincidence. I was thinking the same."
Saya summoned her magic dress and nodded her head. "We better be strict."
"Fufu, Darling is gonna get touchy with Yuriko-san," Shiori said and unsheathed her katana. "This katana is made of Asahi-sama's love~."
Aimi glared at Shiori and licked the tip of her dagger. "Shiori-san, can you say it again?"
Shiori wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Sorry?"
"Lord Asahi, we shall overcome them." Saeko took it to the next level.
"Aa-chan sounds cutest," Rika said and aimed her marksman rifle.
She pressed the trigger, firing a silenced bullet. That single bullet created a curved opening in the horde.
She used telekinesis to alter the trajectory. As expected of a cool onee-san; I am in awe.
She turned to me with a grin. "How did I do?"
"Nice shot."
"Hmph," Saya harrumphed and raised her hand. "Fire Wall."
A magic circle emerged shone under the undead's feet, giving rise to a pillar of fire.
That was the Level 2 spell of Phenex.
What should I use here?
Oh well, let's stick to Saeko's training. No need to act pretentious.
"Aa-kun, what about me? I can't fight…"
"Nee-chan, stay in the priest role and heal whoever gets injured."
She pumped her fist with a serious expression. "Of course! Leave the healing to me."
Nao formed a serious expression and shot compressed wind bullets to knock away the undead. She took a glance at me and straightened her back.
"Great job," I praised.
She nodded shyly. "I will protect Shizuka and vehicles."
"Thanks."
She turned to me. "Un, you… please take care."
"Another one down!" Shiori yelled despite fighting more than thirty meters away from us.
'Klyscha.'
(Notifications muted.)
Hearing the dings between battles distracted me.
I held a frost dragged in my right hand and prepared to rush but a tug at my shirt stopped me.
"Onii-san, can I fight too?" Rini asked with pleading eyes.
Patting her head, I smiled. "Sure. Let's do it together."
Rini rushed back to the car and returned wearing her signature gauntlets. "I will protect onii-san's back."
"Thanks."
With that, we rushed into the fray.
I shot a Barrett spell with my left hand, disintegrating at least ten undead.
I could literally shoot it forever without running out of mana but using the dagger to behead them was more satisfying. Maybe Saeko passed her sadistic trait to me.
The power of perception slowed time, allowing me to slash the undead's throat one by one.
Rini punched away any undead approaching from behind, throwing the undead around like a ragdoll. Each kill made her attacks more ferocious.
About five minutes later, Rini started roaring and savagely blasting skulls with her gauntlets.
I cleared the area around me with the frigid flash skill. Aimi arrived to cover us.
I quickly placed my hand on Rini's head. She didn't resist as I patted her head. A few headpats melted away the ferociousness inside her violet eyes.
She covered her face and started sobbing. "Onii-san, I-I am sorry."
Oh shit. Her self-loathing is rising again.
I removed the hands from her face and pointed at Saeko, who danced across the streets with her blade, beheading, bisecting, or just plainly dismembering the undead. Her tongue peeking out of her lips drawing a wide smirk. She was the epitome of crazy beauty.
Saeko cleared her side of the undead and sheathed her katana. "I am wet." She mouthed those words and wrapped her hands around her waist.
"Look at her. You are still a hundred times better than her."
Rini nodded her head and gave a relieved smile. "Saeko onee-san is a pervert."
*Clang!*
The katana slipped from Saeko's hand. Her wide eyes fixed on Rini, shocked by Rini's words. All it took was one fight for her cool onee-san image to crumble in Rini's eyes.
I quietly slipped away from the two and got back to the undead. The damned creatures kept pouring from all sides.
So much for not wanting to farm for a few days.
This side of Tokonosu City would almost be free from the undead plague today.
I bought top-notch masks for everyone or we might have puked.
Two hours—that's what it took to wipe out the undead. The AoE spells of Nao, Saya, and Rika's cheat-class telekinesis skewering undead with water spears—the top-class spells were useful in massacring the undead in the packed street.
I was sure our kills exceeded twenty thousand.
Everyone slumped against the Humvee, panting hard. They sure abused their small mana reserves. After all, not every undead was weak, their average level was around 12 to 13.
"Magnificent, thy love is truly magnificent. I am in awe," Beleth kept singing praises for Aimi, who glanced at me and puffed her chest.
Her face covered in blood looked gorgeous.
I sat beside her with a smile. "Everyone, thanks for your hard work."
They just nodded, far too tired to even speak.
'Klyscha, can you make Mana potions?'
(That's easy. I recommend E-Rank ones for everyone. Anything stronger is too much for their current reserves.)
'Do it.'
(I sent them to your ring.)
[2000 KP deducted for creating 20 E-Rank Mana potions.]
[KP Left — 94,235]
What the fuck…?
(You guys killed 25,349 undead.)
That's a lot. The Karma for saving a city was heavy.
'Status.'

Four levels.
Amazing.
The XP needed to level up was absurd.
(I am sorry, my love. But your race requires more XP than a normal human.)
'You should have told me sooner… never mind.'
(I am sorry...) Klyscha said in a sullen tone.
'Like I said, I don't mind.'
"Asahi, let's go," Saya said and removed her mask, only to put it back on again. "I want to drown in hot water right now."
I took out a mana potion for everyone. "Drink it first."
Shiori grabbed one and gulped it down. "It's sweet…"
While the girls got busy drinking, I entered the second car.
"Onii-chan, you look happy."
"I am. Everything got wrapped up nicely."
Aiko giggled. "Aiko prayed for everyone."
"Nice work." I patted her head and brought a white cloth from the ring. "Can you wear it?"
She stared at me for a moment before nodding. "Aiko understands."
I wrapped the cloth around her eyes. She had seen brutality, but the scene outside might give nightmares to a seven-year-old girl like her.
I lead Aiko outside. Leme woke up and came out, rubbing her eyes. She looked at Aiko and grinned.
"Hehe, Asahi is so caring," Leme spoke and hugged me from the side. "Leme is happy to lend you her strength."
I smiled at her sincerity and stroked her hair. "I will buy you new games."
The credit for today's victory went to none other than this weeb Diva. Without her spells, we would be exhausted and forced to retreat.
"Yay!" She stood on her toes and pressed her lips on my cheeks.
I stored the vehicles in the ring since they could not drive through this street.
Once the girls rested enough, we strode toward the Takagi Estate.
