Seeing Takashi, Sakura hurriedly stood up. He suddenly hugged Takashi. His actions certainly made the man shocked.
Nana looks to throw her face away. He seemed to be unable to stand the sight he saw. Yuki looked calm and smiled faintly.
"Sa-sakurais... What are you doing?" tanya Takashi stuttered. His body froze in Sakura's arms. His eyes moved stiffly as he did not know what to do.
"I'm so happy to see you! I thought I couldn't meet someone I knew" Sakura replied enthusiastically. He tightened his grip. Takashi's eyes are getting worse. The man had difficulty breathing.
"Yeah. But can... Did you loosen your arms?... I can't breathe." Takashi said.
"Sorry!" Sakura immediately took off her arms from Takashi. He swept the clothes that Takashi was wearing by hand. "I was too happy to forget myself" he explained.
"Takashi! Is this girl your boyfriend?" ask Nana. His face looked agitated.
Takashi. "No! Our house used to be close by" he said.
"Yes, we were neighbors. My mother and I often deliver Takashi food," Sakura said, holding a backpack cord around her shoulder.
"Are you alone now?" ask Takashi.
Sakura's expression instantly turned sad. He slowly lowered his head. "Initially not. But my mother had to." he said who couldn't finish.
"It's okay. You don't have to say it. Because what you feel is also felt by us." Yuki held onto Sakura's shoulder. Trying to calm the girl's feelings.
"Yes! I'm not giving up. I also wish I could meet someone more mature than me. People like me obviously can't be leaders for you" Takashi said. After making sure everyone was in good health, he and the girls started exploring. Trying hard to find traces of other men.
Without notice, the day changed night. The three girls who were with Takashi started to get exhausted. But not for Takashi. He calmly walked ahead. The man was not even aware that the three girls behind, were trying their best to follow.
"Takashi, can we rest? Me and the others are tired" exclaimed Nana from behind. Compared to everyone, she was a girl who started to feel no longer strong to walk.
"Awhile more. At least we can find something even a little bit" Takashi said without looking back.
Nana grunts rudely. Yuki then grabbed onto his shoulder. He offered a drink to his comrade.
"Thank you" Nana said as she received Yuki's drink. Next, he again stepped forward with the others.
The night sky shows no stars. A sign that the weather is overcast. Sure enough, a few minutes of rain fell.
"Are we going to take shelter?" yuki asked while looking at Takashi's back who was still reluctant to turn his head.
"No! We gotta..." Takashi finally looked back. Now he knew that the three girls who followed him looked overwhelmed. Takashi felt guilty. Without thinking for long, he immediately invited everyone to rest.
Takashi and the girls take shelter in a simple house. Incidentally in that place there were no zombies or humans. Takashi also found suitable clothes. So he decided to change his clothes and throw away all his dirty clothes.
Takashi's house happened to have three rooms. Takashi chose one of the rooms to sleep in. The man threw his body into the bed. And then close your eyes.
As he was about to fall asleep, Takashi felt warmth from his right and left. He then opened his eyes. Takashi's pupils dilated as he watched Yuki and Nana sleep flanking him.
