High School of the Dead: Zombie World with a Gacha

I pushed Yuriko away and silence reigned in the room, there was great tension in the limousine as we rolled; she seemed aggrieved as if asking why I was pushing her away. Even Lucy was prepared to engage. To be honest, I never paid attention to it. In my background, I never considered it prevalent.

Sonasha reincarnated me in this body and told me that the catastrophe would take place in a year, my parents' backgrounds were the last thing I cared about. But, as this woman speaks... I'm starting to believe there is more to this.

I tried to ruminate on my memories, about them... memories about them and they're so fussy... I barely catch silhouettes and red colours... then they leave me behind... then... Shizuka? But that doesn't make sense.

Shizuka has been leaving with me for three years. Which means that I started leaving with her when I was fourteen... what happened during those fourteen years? why do I not have so many memories with them for those fourteen years?

"Brand-kun... let me explain?" She tried to calm me down but I slapped her hand away, the fact that she has only come until now, I have had things hidden from me for so long.

"I want to know everything..."

"Sorry, I don't know everything..." She said regretfully.

"What do you mean you don't know everything?!"

Yuriko sighed and pulled me into her breasts again, this woman, does she think her breasts are some sort of relief? they are...

"Your mother is Moriumi Yurea, a medical expert born in our family of stockbrokers and businessmen... your father is an American man, Alex Mercer... a millionaire businessman among other professions" She explained to me, there is the first discordance.

"My father was a lawyer..." I said coldly.

"That's a lie... he wasn't... he was many things... businessman, scientist, but not a lawyer, that was a lie".

"W-Who told me that lie?" I tried to recall, who told me my father was a lawyer.

"No one told you that lie, Brand-kun... that's how he was publicly known for the short time he was in Japan, a lawyer, but the higher circles of Tokonotsu know him to be a businessman."

She said those words and I recalled Rei's parents, they never directly told me anything about my father, they only mentioned my mother Yurea... so they knew as well?

"Let me tell you, my sister and I met your father abroad... in a business meeting, my husband was also there. They were in love and they moved here where they had you... listen, I don't know the specifics... they moved out of the villa, I also married Souichirou so we didn't have that much contact, I knew they had a kid and that was it-" She seemed to be reluctant to speak to me about something, so much so that she was shivering.

"... w-what did they tell you?" I held her wrists and separated from her breasts solemnly, only to get pushed back in.

"Brand-kun, you're already seventeen years old, so I can tell you this... you were a mistake, they didn't want to have a child. I mean, ugh! n-not a mistake, just accidental!" She realised how merciless her words had just been.

!!!

Lucy and Saya both gasped, looking at me... why are you looking at me like that? I'm used to it, I'm used to being abandoned.

"And?" I said but Yuriko held me in her arms the next second, kissing my forehead.

"Brand!" Lucy cried out but I raised my hand, indicating her to be at ease.

"Don't cry, Brand-kun..." Yuriko said, I saw her sobbing.

"I'm not crying..." when I touched my cheeks, there were tears, why the fuck am I crying...?

"They didn't want you, but... they decided to have you, nonetheless. That's what my sister told me, I don't know what happened during those fourteen years but I could never see you. It was only afterwards when they decided to leave the country that I could finally embrace you..."

"Why did they leave?"

"They said your father had business to attend, important business, and that you couldn't come along... my sister tasked me to take care of you until they came back. I have been looking at you from the shadows... it was also me who tasked Shizuka to take care of you. No one had ever done anything to you because the whole Takagi Clan has been taking care of you, the Moriumi Clan as well... Brand-kun, I haven't been able to contact your mother and father ever since."

I gasped and looked towards Lucy.

"I couldn't find anything either, Brand-kun... it is all blank as if they never existed," She said to me and Yuriko gasped this time, asking for more.

"I made some background research on Brand, and there is not much... and about his parents more so... it is as if they disappeared from the world, swallowed by the ocean to never be seen again, I'm a hacker, Yuriko-san".

"What servers did you investigate, Lucy?" Yuriko seemed to know her deal about technology.

"Everything I had access to from Japan, maybe if I connect to an American network, I could do it... but Japan is quite restricted, there is a limit to how much I can do from here, there are several sites and intranets, but they're so locked up, there is no way I can access them from here without at least raising a flaw" Lucy explained, this girl should have told me this first... but I can't blame her, she has only been with me for a day.

"Why never tell me anything, were you even going to tell me?" I pushed Yuriko away but she held my wrists, this time she didn't pull me and I sighed in relief. If she does it again...

"I wasn't going to tell you"

"You-!"

"Brand-kun, you were doing well enough... even without me telling you anything, if not for this girl." Yuriko sent a glare towards Lucy. So she suspected since Lucy has been passing as my sister? of course, she knows such a sister doesn't exist.

I don't know what to think... so they abandoned me to my luck? did Sonasha have anything to do with this? why am I even crying?

Thankfully, I can rub my head against Yuriko's breasts but something is standing up.

"Brand-kun... if you want to come and live with us-" She suggested, but someone didn't agree

"Mother?!" Saya wasn't happy about the notion.

"Hush, Saya... he is your cousin" Yuriko looked at Saya angrily while I struggled against her, she was trying to pull me to her breasts again, why is she so strong anyway!?

"That's the problem!!"

"I don't want to... I'm living well enough with Shizuka, Yuriko-san".

"W-Won't you call me aunt?"

"No... I'm sorry, but we don't have that familiarity".

"I see, I'm so sorry, Brand-kun" as if having had enough, she did it again, and this time I wouldn't stay quiet.

"S-Stop pulling me to your breasts!" I squeezed her big jugs and she pushed me away with a heavy blush, pouting.

"Y-You naughty young man, I'm married you know and I'm your aunt!"

"Then stop pulling me to your breasts, are you insane?"

We both recollected ourselves, glaring at one another.

"Anyway, now that we can leave that matter aside, tell me who this young girl is" She fixed her bra and dress while I also fixed my clothes, we were looking at one another rather threateningly, what? you're upset that I squeezed you up? Do you think I'm a saint?

"That is none of your business, she's a friend of mine I'm taking care of, to make matters simple, she's posing as my younger sister".

"Older" Lucy remarked.

"Whatever, I'm not up to games right now, Lucy".

"Sorry..."

"I won't pry any further then, you're already a shrewd and smart young man, surely you know what you're meddling with... let me save my number in your phone, if you ever need anything, just call me... I don't mind you calling me Yuriko-nee-sama if that's okay~"

Without even asking me, she began typing her contact in my phone... when did she pull it away? seriously what's wrong with these women? burglars, psychos, hackers... samurais. This world has it all.

"Okay, Yuriko..." I looked out of the window, not in the mood... they all noticed and the woman's countenance fell.

"I always wanted to embrace you... even if you're not my son, I saw you live your life for the past three years, through my own lenses... I thought you were quite pitiful, sorry..."

"About what?"

"For placing Shizuka there... she wasn't quite reliable, right?"

"Thank you for placing Shizuka, I love her".

"Eh?" She thought she heard wrong and I realised my words weren't appropriate.

"Shizuka is the best you could have given me... she may have been unreliable but... she was warm with me and made me feel like I had a home" Just like the tears had rolled down my eyes at first, now... a smile founds its way there... maybe I'm feeling more things than I'm giving myself the credit for.

I don't care if they abandoned me, unlike my last life... I have Shizuka... I also have Sonasha and a Gacha system, can't complain.

"I see, then I shall let her stay with you... now answer me, why exactly do you need a bunker, young man?" Yuriko crossed her arms, this time it seems I will have to answer her, she was the one getting it for me.

Should I tell her? the problem is, I don't know... can I trust her? she's already mature and has her own connections, if someone can help me reign this catastrophe, it is her.

"I'll speak to you privately about this, Yuriko..."

"Stop talking so casually to my mom, bastard!" Saya complained, now I know she's my cousin... to think I have been thinking of fondling my cousin... well, I just fondled my aunt so there is that.

"Boy, at least use an honorific, I'm your elder and also your aunt!"

"Okay, Yuriko"

"You damn hooligan!"

*BAANG!*

She bonked me!

"You!-"

Yuriko and I quickly went into a wrestling match and much to my surprise, she won!

She pinned me under her on the limousine's couch, her breasts giggling above me as I struggled. Soon, however, she felt what was touching her below and blushed, losing her smile and gulping, "You naughty bastard, I'm your aunt..."

"So what?"

There was silence between us as we both breathed harshly.

"Do you think I'm some defenceless lass?~ I can smash the three of you together on my own"

'Just because Saya is useless, my eyes rolled'.

"Ho!~ I'd want to see that!" Lucy charged forward while Saya stayed in place looking at how two young guys got their asses handed to them by a mature lady.

I think we're giving the driver a hard time.

Alex Mercer, does it ring a bell :)
