High School of the Dead: Zombie World with a Gacha

The cinema was enjoyable, but not the way I expected it.

I was in the limousine together with Aunty Yuriko after watching the movie, well... I allowed her to choose what movie she wanted us to see and for some reason, she choose one with zombies.

It was a gore-ish thrilled about some guy that goes around killing zombies until he is bitten, and then his dog dies together with him, so sad. Yuriko ended up leaning against me as she cried. I had in mind something more romantic, nevertheless; she enjoyed herself

"Do you know, Brand... in those zombie movies, the beauty always dies first?" Yuriko remarked, leaning against my arm in the limousine... the driver had his eyes focused on the road as if what he was seeing here is not happening at all.

"No, it is not the girl, is the black cop, then the girl..." I corrected her.

"And the villainous bastard would always die last~".

"As always" I confirmed, that is indeed the general trope, quite racist but I guess it works.

"Then I'm relieved that if I die among the first ones, then... at least you will survive until the end~"

I don't know why she said this all of the sudden, but... I don't like it even if in a joke. I never considered that the infection would be something as ridiculous as 'zombies', that's just surreal. The only hint I have is Hollow mentioning an 'Alpha' type infected that would give me gacha points. Must be some sort of mutated dog, or maybe just having to find people that are infected and spreading the disease... to be honest, I'm preparing more for the general populace's reaction to the catastrophe, than the catastrophe itself.

Zombies? only a kid would believe that.

"Stop talking nonsense, none of us is going to die, moreover... I'm not villainous".

"Flirting with your biological aunt is not something villainous?" She remarked, looking at me solemnly, if that's the case then isn't flirting with your nephew also villainous?

"It is not if she's corresponding to me" I smirked.

"I am not, Brand-kun," she said, sounding unconvinced.

"You are... but... I understand" I said, holding her against my chest, Yuriko looked confused but willing to hear me.

"What do you understand?"

"This between us is not possible... I just want to know why? why do you behave like this with me? would you do this with any of your nephews?" It is bullshit, I don't care if this is wrong or not, I want Yuriko, but courting her is not like courting your average high school girl.

My aunt, Saya's mom, married... each of them is a big barrier of its own. The fact that she can overlook them and still be this close to me, tells tales of how frustrated she is, that is why I have to keep her engaged... I'm afraid some bastard will make a move on her and with this much frustration, she will quickly succumb to the moment. Her circle of contacts definitely must have such men around her. The reasons they haven't done it that I can think of are two.

Yuriko hasn't opened up to them as she has to me, her confident nephew.

They're afraid of uncle Souichirou, unlike me.

...

Hearing my enquiry, about her doing this with anyone else, her gaze grew contemplative.

"I don't know... you're such a nice boy to hang onto, I appreciate you, I have seen you go and come, but... I haven't seen you grow up, it is complicated, Brand-kun... I can't see you completely as an aunt, but I also can't see you completely as a man. I don't think I hold anything remotely romantic for you, that would be..."

"Disgusting?~"

"N-No... just taboo-ish... you're my sister's son", she separated from me and leaned on the other side of the vehicle, I chased after her, almost pressing her against the door with my weight.

"Then aunty..."

"Uhm?"

"If you don't feel it to be disgusting, that means you're up for it" I sent some BS logic, but it isn't completely false... usually this sort of relationship doesn't last because it only produces disgust, people are averse to incest will feel disgusted when thinking on themselves doing that with a familiar. However, she doesn't feel that neither do I... neither does Saya for me or vice-versa.

Saya and I can be understood as we learned much later.

But Yuriko and I... she should be feeling that disgust, but she doesn't... no, the other day I knew that she was excited about it, her nipples hardened and her crotch moistened as we wrestled, she's carefully avoiding this topic.

"Shut up, Brat... always teasing me... I gave you an inch and here you are, taking a yard" She turned towards me in mock outrage, our faces so close that I could literally move forward and kiss her, but... now it is not the time, she'd reject me.

"I'm taking whatever you give me... are you coming inside tonight?"

"No, you and your girls can get in the mood" Her eyes rolled and I chuckled, she knows.

"Come inside aunty, just for today I won't do anything... just so you can be with us" I know the girls know how to behave.

"Brand-kun, I have things to-"

I hugged her against me, placing my head on her breasts and looking up like a puppy, it never fails.

"..."

Her eyebrows twitched before she embraced my head.

"O-Okay... but I have to leave by nine and I'm taking Saya back with me".

"I will tell Lucy to drop you back".

She nodded and we remained like that, it was when we both began getting chummy and looking out the window that I noticed something, a group of vehicles riding alongside us on the highway.

The thing is, this looks like a big military convoy of pitch-black coloured vehicles, even Yuriko frowned when she saw them, it is not usual to see this in Tokonotsu City, even the outskirts.

"Ho? what is this?"

My eyes focused on them, the windows were also pitch black but this is clearly a cargo convoy. Could it be guns?

"That convoy... they're not the army, those number plates are international, American," Yuriko remarked.

It was in the middle of all this that the last wisp of the sun for the day fell on one of the vehicles and it was then that I managed to catch a glimpse of the logo, I gasped... this logo had been shown to me by Lucy not too long ago.

"Gentek...?" Yuriko exclaimed as well, "Isn't that..."

"That's the company Lucy said had ties with my father, do they have a branch in Japan? where is this highway leading to?"

"Keeping along this highway leads to the prefecture of Kanto, Saitama... you should have her investigate what's going on, this is a huge convoy... from a foreign country no less, the Japanese government might be doing business with them"

We turned towards the main side of Tokonotsu but the convoy kept going forward, towards Kanto.

I could have never guessed, this was when everything started.
