Chương 141: Chapter 141: Night "Watch"

Ryo woke up in the middle of the night, his senses sharp despite the calm silence. He glanced over at Sachiko, who was still deep in sleep beside him. Her face was peaceful, her body relaxed after the long hours they had spent together, their intimacy still lingering in the air. He leaned in close, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. Sachiko stirred slightly, her lips curling into a soft smile, but she did not wake fully.

"I'll be back soon. Just need to check something," Ryo whispered, his voice low.

She nodded sleepily, already drifting back into sleep, too exhausted to respond properly. He smiled faintly, knowing she would be safe. After all, his base was well-guarded, both by his loyal zombies and the presence of Sayako.
