CHAPTER 129 RECOVERY
<span style="font-weight:400">I had a much better wake up call this time. I woke up as I wanted to. A woman on each arm. I knew one right away. The purple haired woman slept soundly on my right arm. Wearing a thin night gown I pulled her closer. Feeling her back as I looked to the other girl.
<span style="font-weight:400">The pink hair was obvious. I was simply surprised Saya Takagi was there with me. The girl had been giving me mixed signals. But wasn’t anywhere near ready to befortableying with me.
<span style="font-weight:400">I frowned and pulled her closer as well. I pulled up my status screen. Noticing that my countdown was gone for World Escape so I’d been back for over 24 hours.

<span style="font-weight:400">I had kind of forgotten the quest reward. I regretted not grabbing it before my 2 years of training. But oh well. I knew I could use the skill but no one in this world had chakra except me. I would y with itter.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rubbing the girls backs it was Saeko who woke up first. She sighed contently as her eyes opened. Looking up at me she smiled widely. A rare expression on her face from what I could remember.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good morning,” Saeko whispered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Morning, beautiful,” I said back. Pulling her to me she moved her hands to the side of my face as we kissed. She moaned in my mouth. I had been too busy saving people for us to be intimate before I left the world. She must have fully healed from ourst encounter.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What did I miss?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’ve been asleep for a little over a day,” she said. “After you closed the gap they were able to clear out the area again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. Sorry, I don’t remember much. I was pretty out of it,” I said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes, you were up for a few days. And killed a few thousand zombies on your own,” she whispered. I could tell she was turned on by the idea of it. Her hand moved to my groin but she stopped when noticing the other girl.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you doing here?” Saeko asked. Apparently Saya had woken up. Her big eyes blinked as she blushed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I uh came to check on him,” Saya whispered. “And you were here. So I just…got tired.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well I feel all better, so thank you both. I had a great sleep.” I pulled them closer. Saeko still studied Saya. The smaller girl was up but didn’t try to pull away.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Did you find anyone?” Saeko asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wh-“ I stopped. Remembering why I hadn’t been there for the zombie outbreak in the first ce. I’d killed the teacher after he admitted to kicking off about 15 kids from the boss. I’d only found zombies in school uniforms.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No,” I said. “They were undead.” I felt bad about it. Which was odd. I’d seen a lot more killing and death since then. But I’d gone out of my way to save them only for them to turn up dead.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What about you? I thought you’d leave me…after I killed that guy.” I wanted it out in the open.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Honestly, Takashi was upset until Rei stepped in saying we should wait for you. Soon after that the zombies broke through since the barrier had a huge gap. We were talking about escaping and were out back ready to leave when you showed up,” Saeko admitted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Didn’t think I’d make it back?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“My parents were pushing for us to escape,” Saya admitted. “They thought the ce was lost. Then you…killed everything.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, I’m good at that,” I said. Tapping their backs they pulled away so I could sit up. “I was pretty delirious. Sorry if I worried you.” Pulling the covers off I noticed I was naked. I had suspected but wasn’t sure.
<span style="font-weight:400">I stood up without any shame. “Looks like someone cleaned me up. Which of you do I have to thank?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Saeko and Saya blushed. “Shizuoka actually,” Saeko admitted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The nurse gave me a sponge bath?” Iughed. I stretched out, feeling my new muscles in the body. I wasn’t as tall as I had been in Naruto World. I would have to change that with my Epitome Lust Skill. But that took time. Day by day. There was enough opportunity for that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, what are you doing here?” I asked Saya. I turned to her. She looked at me through cracks in her fingers. Her face flushing furiously as she pretended not to be peeking. “What? Didn’t catch a look while I was out?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“N-n-no!” She got out. I wasn’t sure if that was the truth or not.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well what are you doing then? Rethinking that whole wanting to marry me thing?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I-I-I-I don’t know,” she blushed.
<span style="font-weight:400">I eyed Saeko. She smiled at me, but I couldn’t read it. The smile was either I’ll kill you, or do what you want. Both dangerous options if I didn’t know the answer. She had mentioned not minding sharing me. But she didn’t get the full course Kishimoto did. The girl in Gantz practically begged me to add someone. I decided to wait to push.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fine, figure it out and let me know,” I said. “Gather the others from the high school. I have a n.” Looking around I noticed my clothes folded up neatly. I began to put them on.
<span style="font-weight:400">“A n? For what?” Saya asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“For killing all the zombies in the city,” I said like it was no big deal. “You wanted your parents out of your hair, right? Well this will help with that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You have a n to kill all the zombies?” Saeko asked excitedly. Standing up she had full faith in me.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. I think I have a way to help you with that thing I promised too, but that will have to wait untilter,” I said. “My main question is, how do you look in ck?” I had a wide smile on my face as I looked her up and down.
<span style="font-weight:400">—
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are we doing here?” Takashi asked. The old main protagonist had been giving me the stink eye. I didn’t know why at first until I noticed the nces from Rei.
<span style="font-weight:400">Since I killed the teacher she hated she might have changed her attention to me. The girl jumped ship faster than I did in One Piece. I preferred the loyal girls. Not that she wasn’t bad looking of course. Nice rack, long brown hair, she wasn’t bad at all. I preferred to focus my attention on Saeko and Saya. Potentially Shizuoka too. Since I’d woken up she’d been giving me looks as well. The very stacked blonde was more than wee in my arms.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I have decided to trust you all,” I said. Kohta watched me skeptically, he was a friend. Overweight, sses, and a guy, he wasn’t my type. But I would make an exception in letting him join my main fighting force. He and Kakashi couldn’t join the harem though, that was for sure.
<span style="font-weight:400">The only other person I trusted there was Emi. She was nerdy, long ck hair, and t chested. Before Naruto World I wasn’t too into the t girls. But after Shinju, I saw the attraction. Shinju had more than made up for it in other areas. I studied the nerdy girl for a moment. Wearing a long skirt and button down ck shirt, she blushed while avoiding eye contact.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’ve all seen me do super human acts,” I said. <span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll say,” Shizuoka whispered. I sent her a wink and the older woman blushed. She knew I knew about her special sponge bath.
<span style="font-weight:400">“My father has many military contracts. One of the things he helped develop is these,” I said. Which was the truth. He had worked for the military, but I didn’t know much about what he did. Pointing to the side hallway, Saeko and Saya walked in. They wore the skin tight Gantz uniforms. They looked as good on them as they had the other girls in Gantz. Showing their curves I was d there had been a short guy that attacked me before leaving, otherwise Saya wouldn’t have been able to wear one.
<span style="font-weight:400">“These are Gantz suits,” I said. “They increase your strength, defense, endurance, everything.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“How?” Kouta asked excitedly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No idea,” I said. “I had one, and before I got back the other day I stole all the suits they had made. So we should be the only ones with them.” There were doubtful gazes from the others. “I understand, a lot to take in. Saeko, demonstration time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Finally,” she said. I had walked her through what to do only once and she understood. We were in a building near the Sakagi household, it was under construction so there were materials all around. Saeko picked up a piece of rebar. Her veins bulging in the ck suit she bent it easily.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“No way!” Kohta said excitedly. He ran over grabbing the rebar. Trying to pry it back into a straight bar it didn’t budge. “What else can it do?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I looked to Saeko. “I have no idea,” she admitted, but had a big smile on her lips.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Come here,” I waved her to the open balcony. About 15 feet away was another balcony. I had opened the door already. “Could you make this jump normally?” She shook her head slowly. “Good. Try it now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you sure?” She asked, a little scared.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m sure. Just think about bing faster, and you will,” I said. <span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay,” she said, more excitement back in her voice. Taking a few steps back the others gathered closer and she ran. She didn’t believe enough though. Her legs bulged and she jumped out, but she fell short. Falling the 4 stories the others screamed as they looked down. Saekonded on the road below. Not face down but on her feet.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What the hell?!” Takashi yelled at me. “She could have died!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Maybe, but the suit is defensive too. I knew she would be fine. You alright, Saeko!?” I yelled down. She gave me 2 thumbs up, smiling from ear to ear. She began running back toward the building, ready to try again.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now, who wants one?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Me!” Kohta and Shizuoka said immediately.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good, I have some rules though,” I added.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Rules?” Shizuoka asked, hesitantly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yep, simple ones. No showing anyone the suits. I don’t have a bunch. No talking about them. And if I ask for them back, you give them,” I said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Deal,” Kohta said and I pulled his suit out from my status screen. I looked to Emi.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You?” I asked my nerdy follower girl as Saeko got back up to the floor. She had run her way up in only a few seconds. Getting used to the increased strength already.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Out of the way,” Saeko ordered. We moved as she bolted for the balcony again. This time she made it, in fact overshooting a little. People cheered as some started putting their suits on.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why me?” Emi asked, drawing my attention again.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Because you’re part of the group,” I said.
<span style="font-weight:400">She blushed, biting her lip. “I am?” I could see a small smile at the corner of her mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course, You followed me. Stick with me, and I’ll take care of you,” I said.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay,” she whispered with a smile. “I’d like to try it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Great.” Soon Rei and Takashi relented, asking for one. I made them repeat my rules and let them start ying around with them. I had hesitated on giving everyone but Saeko one, but decided in the end they were worth the investment.
<span style="font-weight:400">I walked over to Saya. She had picked up the rebar Saeko bent and was bending it back into shape. “You good?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m great,” she said, a wide smile on her face as her arms bulged in the suit. “Thanks. This does change things for me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mind walking me through why you feel you need to escape from your folks?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">She frowned. “Maybeter,” she promised. “But, why don’t these work with clothes overtop of them? Kind of a wed design.” <span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh that, I was lying. They work fine with clothes over them,” I said. <span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Her eyes widened as she stared at me. “Why did you lie?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Cus I wanted to see you in skin tight clothes,” I said honestly. “Looks good on you.” She looked down to her tight curves then blushed. Iughed loudly, trying to think what to do next.
