(Kyosei’s View)

I woke up after a few hours of rest. Since the Night Rage is much more forgiving and easy for the people, I took my rest to recharge up on my energy and also to make up from my sleepless nights before. I rub my eyes before getting up on the bed and put back on my headphones and MP3 alongside with my beanie.

During my discussions with Nanami, she revealed me the request of the main head of the branch. The head is currently residing inside the walls of Tokyo and he can’t leave it. Due to the situation, he wanted to ask all the survivors outside the walls of Tokyo to save all of his relatives that are currently residing outside the walls of Tokyo.

He wanted them safely rescued to avoid them all from dying and in exchange, the people who gets to rescue them will get the special privilege to earn the support from the Fujiwaras on Tokyo and may get the chance to be quarantined inside the walls of Tokyo.

”Damn it, what have I gotten myself into...” I shook my head and decided to stop lurking in the room and do some work.

Glancing outside, the rain is pouring outside hard allowing many of the soldiers and on the lookout to have a relaxing morning as the dead will most likely have no interest going outside while it is raining.

I changed to my casual black hoodie shirt and black casual pants after my uniform got ruined during the battle against the Gluttony’s tentacles. It may take a while to finish since it has a big tear in the back and the sleeves. 

After wearing a new set of clothes, I went out the room and notice Yumi and Eve playing with each other. It must be nice for them to relax and not care on most of the problems the world has become. Though I can’t blame them for this, especially Eve who holds one of the original virus and can control it slightly. It was a good thing Pastor Shin’s daughter is here to accompany her or else, she might be starting to use the power of that virus to help out with the Night Rage.

I inspected things outside first to check if the walls and gates are being guarded despite the rain and thankfully, they were indeed guarded with some people who are sipping coffee while sheltering themselves from the rain while keeping in watch.

The next thing I checked is the tent where Kato was being held after he almost died. I can say he is a one lucky bastard. Though unfortunately, he is still unconscious and still has no sign that he will wake up soon.

”Yo man, if you wake up soon, maybe we can do something about your missing limbs though I must say that you need to hurry up waking up or else you might miss the chance.”

I doubt he can hear me but I don’t think the message is not conveyed though. And I doubt he will die from this. He is Kato after all. He won’t die that easily.

The next place I inspected is the kitchen where most of the people who are assigned to the base back when we haven’t merge with the SDF are currently holding themselves. Miss Haruna who is leading the group chores is doing splendidly and thanks to her supervision, despite the tight schedule of things for them due to the amount of workload piling up, it helped many of us who are much more focused on the fight against the dead. If not for them, the base would not stay clean.(A/N: Although they are side characters, I don’t mean to ignore them. They will be featured a lot in the later chapters soon enough as their roles will be important)

Although most of them are women, some men especially some of the soldiers who are still trying to recover from some wounds are doing their best to help with the girls to continue doing their contribution to the group. I took my breakfast and lunch there before I continue checking on the other groups.

The next place I visited is the medical tents. Due to the situation, this place is the busiest place during Night Rage as the wounded will always be brought in here. Miyuki and Cindy are assigned here as volunteer nurses to the doctors in here, giving the doctors lesser problems to deal with.

Next stop is Chie and that little doctor Kogure. Due to them teaming up, the two are now holed in their research and are in constant debates on things about the virus and how to create medicines and stuff that unfortunately I have trouble following. Since they basically ignored me despite staying there for a few minutes, I decided to leave for now and check again once they are done arguing.

The rest of the group are either the scavenger team or the guards team. Although I am the most active person who scavenge everyday while doing some side jobs here and there, the others are also doing their runs to bring back supplies everyday to avoid the shortage of supplies especially that the group is increasing.

Next place I visited is the garage of the place, the area where we keep most of the vehicles and the maintenance are held. Due to the recent dangers appearing where the vehicles are getting more and more needed, refitting them are being in the process though most of them are still on the early works which is why this needs more time.

Last stop is the commander’s office. Haru who is busy with the planning stages is currently finishing some of the necessary plans for the plans. When I arrived, he is just wrapping up the last plan needed for the next operation.

”Everything is done, I presume?” I asked.

”I can’t say it is finished as the things are much more complicated the more I try to think of counter plans if things don’t work out.”

”But things are working smoothly from how I see some of your plans on the table,” I said, glancing on the drafts he laid out on the table.

”Yes. I must say that we can start reclaiming the nearest area. I also looked up on your request to find a new place for the new base as this place is not a good place to be used as a base and I must say I will agree with that. I already approved of that. I must say that we should look for a place that is near of nature, a good place where we can get food and other supplies aside from looting to avoid keeping on relying on them. We don’t know how long before the food supplies will run out.”

”Okay then, I will dedicate on finding a suitable new base soon enough.”

”Once you get the base marked and we managed to settle in, we can now begin our plan to reclaim Osaka, rebuild human society and keep it running alive.”

We discussed a lot of plans to ensure the reclamation is a success.

When I finished the discussion, it is already nighttime and Night Rage is already underway. But since the rain is still pouring down, we are able to have a peaceful Night Rage since the blob undead are no longer around.

Things are getting easier now as we are slowly adapting to this new world we live in. Although the hardsh.i.p.s are still there, I don’t think we will be having a hard time with it. With everyone here helping each other, things will progress.

...

10 MONTHS LATER...

(End of the Arc 4)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Arc 4 is finally done, a cliffhanger and we will be doing some timeskip since this will be lengthy and we will have a very long, long amount of chapters if we continue to the slow pace. Although most of this arc’s content are mostly fillers with only slight important ones, the next arc will be different. Days will progress faster and we will not follow Kyosei most of the time this time around to create some spot light to the other characters too as I don’t want to keep Kyosei is the only important one here and the others are just some random guys.

Arc 5 will focus on the humanity recovering from the first wave of the outbreak and trying to adapt to the new life. Also, this time around, the enemies will no longer be consisting with the undead. Expect to see other people soon enough and how these new people will be affecting the Blood Battalion in any manner. Deaths will also be going to be frequent here too and for the nth time, this is not a harem. Thank you guys for reading.

PS: I will be starting to convert the early chapters to first person view to keep on track with the latest chapters and also to fix some info that are a bit weird and wrong too. I will also be fixing a few earlier chapters too so if it is convenient enough, you can re read it again.)
