High School of the Dead: Zombie World with a Gacha

"Oh?~" I smirked... this is the reason why things are so complicated between us.

I don't know what to do with Yuriko, even the previous me, a downright scum... didn't ever consider having a relationship with his own aunt. Let alone she's married... let alone her daughter is my girlfriend!

I am even astonished that Yuriko keeps sending me those subtle signals of attraction... as if she's begging me to pursue her skirt... I have halted so far, perhaps I'm getting the wrong signals, or perhaps there is something she's feeling that I'm not understanding.

In any case, being able to have a harem is within the realm of possibility. Yuriko being this... flirty... with me, is not.

I know my luck is abnormal but this is something else.

"Anyway... I think it is good that you want to wait for them to be adults, but... have you at least kissed them?" Yuriko noticed the awkward silence and began eating just as I did. We're having a hotpot.

"Are you kidding me? I sucked Saya's pussy last night".

!!!

"Don't say that to your aunt bastard! she's my daughter! and she's your cousin too!"

She blushed and retorted, almost dropping her spoon.

'Aunty?~ you didn't care a minute ago... was I too brazen?' I want to test her reactions; I want to know if she's sending me signals or if she's just being too outgoing with her nephew whom she thinks is way more mature than the average high school student, so far... I can't tell.

"What are you talking about? right now I'm Brand and you're Yuriko, you're my therapist~"

"Shameless naughty brat, who did you pick that from? ah yes... you just said you had a previous life"

"Yes, I was very promiscuous".

"D-Does that mean that you're not exactly my nephew?"

There it is, another signal... she ignored me being 'promiscuous' something a teasing aunty would have picked up to tease me back. Instead... she focused on something different, the fact that I had a previous life; that I am but also not at the same time, her nephew.

"Are you trying to use that as an excuse for something?~" I answered, taking a spoonful of my hotpot, reaching my conclusion with long strides.

"Not at all..." Yuriko evaded me.

We both drank our tea but she was sending me furtive glances.

"So? where is uncle Souichirou?" I switched the topic back to the original one she didn't want to talk about; now that she's more confident, she's bound to talk about it. But nothing could prepare me for what she said.

"Hmph! He's on a business journey, likely fucking some airwaitre-!"

My spoon dropped, aghast.

Yuriko covered her mouth, realising what she just said.

It was as if the devil awoke inside me and suddenly everything made sense.

'Frustration, huh?~'

This is what she had not let out so far... as an experienced woman in the arts of love, she knows... she knows I can cling to this. Did you say that deliberately, Yuriko?

"Huh? you didn't tell me that".

"Forget what I said..."

"Is he disloyal to you?"

"No, Brand... I can't... confirm it, really, forget-".

"Then why would you say something like that, aunty?~"

I threw the bone, that's right, I'm your nephew, you can trust me... a war of facades, sometimes you play as my aunt, sometimes you don't I can do that as well.

"We haven't done it in a year!"

"..." Oh damn... she exploded.

"S-Sorry, I think we should go" She was about to stand up and leave the hotpot, here!

Where the fuck do you think you're going, aunty!? we're just starting!

My operation 'plunder' has just begun.

"Sit down, I'm your therapist," I told her, holding her wrist and indicating to her to not make a scene, this is not a big deal, a cheating husband? happens every time.

"..." She reluctantly sat back down with a sigh, containing her meal, it is time for me to play the therapist.

"You know that doesn't necessarily mean he's being disloyal... it could be that he's tired".

"Even if his clothes smell like women's perfume that's not mine?" She said.

'Welp, you're not helping yourself, uncle... that's basic man knowledge, clean yourself after every encounter' I sighed in exasperation, what an amateur.

"It could be a colleague," I said again.

"Even if he has a woman's panties in his pockets!?"

'Fucking hell, this is worse than being Bill Cosby's attorney... I can't protect this guy!'

I give up, it is not like I want to protect you anyway, thanks for handing Aunty in a platter. She's in better hands now.

We finished eating our meal in silence, she thinks I'm considering things, trying to come out with another argument to assist him, are you joking? I'm afraid you're going to pull out an infidel sex tape on me. That guy is dead already, he just hasn't noticed it.

"Forget it, Yuriko... what are you going to do about it?"

We stood up and I paid for the meal; we walked back to the limousine and I grasped her hand, like her nephew.

"I don't know... my mind is currently somewhere else... I haven't told him about the catastrophe, but I told him about reinforcing the Takagi Clan's security... this is my current focus together with training the girls" She said solemnly.

"I understand, so... would you like to go and see a movie? as Aunt and Nephew~"

She stooped abruptly and looked at me, I saw her biting her lips.

"S-Sure, Brand-kun... but why all of the sudden? do you have anything prepared for aunty?"

"You look crestfallen, I can't go back home and leave you like this, what would my girlfriend tell me?"

Yuriko didn't pout but her gaze looked at the horizon for a minute before she sighed.

"You're just a naughty brat... How did you even manage to make a harem? are you big down there or something?"

Those are definitely not words you tell your nephew, or your therapist, Yuriko.

"Ask your daughter~".

"Shameless! don't say those things to me! I-I can't really imagine Saya doing those things..."

"Trust me I couldn't either... but for some reason, she's quite competitive... she will try to do anything better than the rest... ANYTHING".

"Please be kind to her... she likes you quite a bit".

"And you?"

"I like you too... as my nephew".

"It better stays that way, right?"

"It better does, Brand-kun".
