Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Takanosu.
October, x785.
Not long after the group of eight, Alfonzo, Elicia, Saeko, Takashi, Saya, Rei, Shizuka, and Kohta, started walking, they reached a luxurious apartment building only a few blocks away from where they fought the horde of zombies.
"Seriously, we were this close?" Takashi asked curiously. "Does that mean you would have drove right past it if we hadn't split up with Shido?"
"Um... Probably?" Shizuka replied. "I don't think I would have wanted him to know where Rika lived. She's really pretty, tall, and has big boobs. Not as big as mine, though."
"I don't think anyone has boobs as big as yours." Rei muttered. "I mean, seriously, what do you have to eat to get boobs like those?"
"Actually, I think I've seen someone with bigger boobs than Shizuka's." Elicia said while mentally comparing Shizuka with Tsunade.
"That's gotta be impossible." Saya replied with her eyes opened wide in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Elicia said while supporting her chin with her right hand. "Shizuka, if I'm not mistaken, you wear a J-cup bra, right?"
"Uh huh." Shizuka replied as she bent down to flip the corner of the door mat. Then as she picked up the key that was revealed, she continued. "That's right."
"Yeah, I know someone with a K-cup." Elicia said with a nod. "Actually, now that I think about it, Erza wears a K now, too. But she's still a little smaller than Tsunade."
"Tsunade? Who's that?" Rei asked curiously.
"Oh, she's the master of---" Elicia replied energetically before she was interrupted.
"Lici, should you really be telling people about their measurements like that?" Alfonzo asked in an exasperated tone. "Though, I'm pretty sure Erza wouldn't mind at all, Tsunade will probably hunt you down if she ever finds out. Besides, if you keep going, I think Hirano is gonna die from blood loss."
As he spoke the last part, Alfonzo pointed at Kohta. Following the direction of Alfonzo's finger, the others saw Kohta smiling sloppily with blood leaking from his left nostril.
"Hehe! I like pandas..." Kohta said in a loopy tone.
"Oh... Oops!" Elicia exclaimed while smiling bashfully. "Just forget I said that, okay?"
"What a moron." Saya said while glaring at Kohta disdainfully.
*Click!*
At that moment, the sound of a door unlocking could be heard, drawing everyone's attention back to Shizuka.
"And... it's open!" Shizuka said as she pushed the door to her friend's apartment open.
Then, wasting no time, Shizuka walked into the building.
"Wait, why was there a key to the entire building under the door mat?" Takashi asked in a confused tone. "Isn't that dangerous for all the other residents?"
"Oh, Rika owns this whole building." Shizuka replied happily as she walked towards the stairs. "Then, after she bought it, she had the whole place renovated."
Hearing that, the rest of the group followed Shizuka into the building. In a normal situation, either Alfonzo or Elicia would have rushed past Shizuka to make sure it was safe. However, with [Magic Power Detection], they already knew the place was clear.
Eventually, Shizuka reached the second floor. And as soon as she did, she flipped a light switch. Then, when the rest of the group arrived, they were able to see another set of stairs leading up to a mezzanine with four doors, a living room, a kitchen, and a door they assumed led to the bathroom.
"Damn, this place is nice." Rei said as she turned her head back and forth. "What does your friend do, anyway?"
"Oh, she's a knight." Shizuka said as she made her way into the kitchen. Then, as she opened the refrigerator, she continued. "She's part of the special forces unit... Or something."
As she finished, Shizuka pulled a bottle of ale out of the refrigerator with a smile on her face. Then, she wasted no time opening the bottle and taking a long drink.
Meanwhile, Alfonzo approached from behind Shizuka and looked into the refrigerator.
"Well, it looks like we should have enough food for a couple of days." Alfonzo said with a nod. "Still, we should probably do some scavenging tomorrow."
Hearing that, Saeko, Takashi, Saya, Rei, and Kohta nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Shizuka was too busy enjoying her drink to pay attention.
"Good." Elicia said with a smile. "Then, we can do that while we take out as many of those gross zombies as we can tomorrow. For now, I just wanna take a bath."
"Ooh~~!" Shizuka squealed excitedly. "Me, too."
Then, with the bottle of ale still in her hand, Shizuka skipped away towards the bathroom.
"I guess the ladies will get washed up first." Alfonzo said with a wry smile. "Then, while you all relax, we'll see if we can find anything useful in this building. I can feel a few magic guns in one of the bedrooms upstairs. There should be a magic vehicle downstairs, too."
Hearing that, Kohta's eyes lit up.
"Sounds good to me." Takashi replied with a shrug. "You two can check for the guns. I'll check downstairs in the meantime."
With everyone agreeing with the arrangements, Elicia, Saeko, Saya, and Rei followed Shizuka into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Alfonzo and Kohta headed upstairs to the magic guns Alfonzo detected. At the same time, Takashi went back downstairs to check the ground floor.
"They should be in here." Alfonzo said as he flipped on the lights in the room. "This is probably the owner's bedroom."
"Yeah, it looks like a master bedroom to me." Kohta replied.
"And that safe is where the weapons are." Alfonzo said, pointing to a large safe in the corner. "Oh, and the locking mechanism is purely mechanical. That's surprising."
"That magic seems really convenient." Kohta muttered enviously.
"Yeah, it is." Alfonzo replied with a smile. "Anyway, why don't we check inside and see what kinda goodies there are."
Immediately, Kohta's envious expression disappeared. Instead, it had been replaced with one filled with excitement.
A moment later, Alfonzo and Kohta were standing in front of the safe. Then, Alfonzo took a hold of the safe's handle. At the same time, the sound of the locking mechanism being disengaged could be heard clearly. Finally, with little effort, Alfonzo twisted the handle and opened the safe.
"Ooh~~~!" Kohta squealed excitedly. "There's a magic shotgun, a magic sniper rifle, and a whole lot of magic pistols. And they all use your new magazine loaded design."
"Oh, most people don't know that I came up with that." Alfonzo said with an eyebrow raised in interest. "You must really be a gun nut, huh?"
"Yeah, magic guns are my passion." Kohta replied while inspecting all the weapons and ammunition in the safe. "For as long as I can remember, my dream has been to own a magic gun from .45 Caliber Art Warks."
"Oh, so you're my master's fan, too?" Alfonzo asked with a smile. "Well, I'm sure I could talk her into making a piece for you. Though, it might be her granddaughter who ends up making it."
"Wait!" Kohta, with his glasses slipping down his face, turned towards Alfonzo with a disbelieving expression on his face as he exclaimed. "You're saying that Nell Goldstein is your master?"
Like that, Alfonzo and Kohta continued to chat about all things magic gun related. Meanwhile, Takashi had found a type of magic vehicle he had never seen before.
At the same time, the ladies had all finished getting washed up in the luxurious bathroom and were currently relaxing in the large bathtub.
"Ah~~~!" Shizuka exclaimed, with the bottle of ale still in hand. "This is heaven."
"Yes. After fighting all those zombies all day long, this is wonderful." Saeko added as she sank into the tub up to her shoulders.
"Oh, your friend Rika has good taste." Elicia said happily.
"What do you mean?" Rei asked curiously. "I mean, this bath is nice."
"Yeah, but you make it sound like there's more to it." Saya said as she placed her glasses on the side of the tub.
"That's because there is." Elicia said as she reached her hand towards a sigil carved into the side of the tub.
In the next instant, all the ladies felt jets of water gently massaging their bodies.
"Ooh! This is amazing." Rei said as she started melting into the water.
"Oh, we have one of these at home, too." Saya said as she relaxed even further.
"Having one of these would have been nice after all my training." Saeko added.
While the other ladies started melting from the feeling of the hot tub, Shizuka started to pout.
"What's wrong, Shizuka?" Elicia asked curiously.
"Rika never told me about this." Shizuka said discontentedly. "And I come over here all the time."
"Well, from what I can tell, it's pretty new." Elicia said with a smile. "Maybe she just didn't get a chance to tell you about it."
"Maybe..." Shizuka said while continuing to pout.
A moment later, Shizuka sat up before chugging down the rest of her bottle of ale. Then she started scooting closer to Elicia, who was sitting to her left.
"Thank you for saving us from those nasty zombies." Shizuka said as she wrapped Elicia in a hug. "I didn't wanna be zombie food."
'Holy crap, those things are soft.' Elicia thought to herself. 'I mean, Erza's feel nice when she hugs me, too. But the softness on these things is on a whole different level.'
["Easy there, Old Man."] Scylla said while rolling her eyes.
'Don't worry, Scylla.' Elicia replied internally while smiling wryly. 'I would never do anything without Fonzie. Even touching. But I'm really curious to know how those things feel in my hands, though. I really should get her into Fonzie's harem.'
["Maybe you should talk to Fonzie about it, first."] Scylla said, rolling her eyes once again.
"Kya!" Shizuka yelped as she released Elicia and looked back over her shoulder. "Miss Miyamoto, what are you doing?"
"How the hell are these so big?" Rei asked while groping Shizuka's breasts. "And they're so soft, too."
"Are they really that soft?" Saya asked as she started moving towards Shizuka as well. "I wanna see, too."
Meanwhile Saeko only watched the others play around.
At the same time, Elicia scooted away from Shizuka and moved next to Saeko.
"You're not curious, too?" Elicia asked curiously.
"I am." Saeko admitted easily. "But It's not in my personality to just start grabbing to sate my curiosity."
"I see." Elicia replied with a nod.
"Anyway, Miss Taylor." Saeko said, turning towards Elicia.
"Technically, It's Mrs. Marcus." Elicia said with a smile. "But I kept the name Taylor because of my business. Either way, it's okay if you call me Elicia, or even Lici."
"If you say so." Saeko replied with a smile. "Then, Elicia. I noticed the craftsmanship of the blade Mr. Marcus created for me. Does he have much experience in creating katanas?"
"Oh, that?" Elicia replied with a smile. "He sure does. He's made quite a few in fact. Both Erza and Sun use them, after all."
"I'm not familiar with the name Sun." Saeko replied. "But by Erza, are you referring to Titania, Erza Scarlet?"
"That's right." Elicia replied with a nod. "Fonzie makes all of her swords and armor."
"I see." Saeko said, sounding quite interested.
Like that, the ladies continued to chat, relax, and have fun. Eventually, Elicia and Saeko were even pulled into the breast comparisons Saya and Rei started. On top of that, it was clear to see that Shizuka was slightly intoxicated after drinking that bottle of ale.
"Sounds like they're having fun." Takashi said.
After exploring the rest of the ground floor, Takashi had made his way upstairs to tell Alfonzo and Kohta what he found. Currently, the three young men were on their way down to the ground floor to check out the magic vehicle which naturally resulted in them passing by the bathroom.
"Yeah, it sure does." Kohta said with a perverted grin on his face. "Do you think we should take a little peek? You know, to make sure they're all okay."
As soon as those words left Kohta's mouth, a hand landed on his shoulder. And because of that hand, he felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. Turning his head slowly, Kohta made eye contact with Alfonzo, who was smiling brightly.
"Hirano, did you forget that my wife is in there, too?" Alfonzo asked in a friendly tone.
Unfortunately for Kohta, he was unable to respond due to fear. Meanwhile, Takashi could only face palm in response.
"Sorry..." Kohta was finally able to mutter after Alfonzo broke eye contact. "I actually did forget."
"*Sigh* Just don't let it happen again." Alfonzo said as he removed his hand from Kohta's shoulder. "I actually think you're a pretty cool dude. I hope you don't do anything to change that."
"Yes, sir!" Kohta replied as he stood at attention and saluted.
"I don't know how he didn't expect something like that." Takashi muttered under his breath. He then continued at a normal volume. "Anyway, let's go down stairs and check out that magic vehicle."
"Sure." Alfonzo replied with a smile.
Upon entering the garage where the magic vehicle was parked, the three young men saw a green magic vehicle that resembled a Humvee M1025 that used a rechargeable lacrima engine.
"Well, this will be helpful if we need to relocate." Alfonzo said while marveling at the magic vehicle in front of him.
'Damn, I never even thought to make something like this.' Alfonzo grumbled internally.
["I'm actually surprised you never did."] Bedlam said. ["I mean, this would have been a good choice for Earth Land's horribly maintained roads."]
["Plus, this thing is fucking bad ass."] Riot added.
'Yeah, I know.' Alfonzo replied. 'I only picked the Escalade because Dad had one in my past life. As for the Vanquish, that was the dream car I'd never get to drive in my past life.'
"Anyway, we should wait for the girls to get out of the bath." Alfonzo said as he turned to leave the garage. "Then, we can ask Shizuka if she knows where the keys are."
Nodding in response, Takashi and Kohta followed Alfonzo out of the garage and headed up stairs to help Kohta maintain the magic guns they found in the safe. Eventually, they returned to the master bedroom.
While Alfonzo spent his time creating ammo for the various magic guns, Kohta was giving Takashi a crash course on how to use and maintain them.
"Hey, Fonzie!" Elicia shouted from downstairs.
"Yeah, what's up?" Alfonzo shouted back.
"I'll be making clothes for all the girls." Elicia said. "None of them have a change of clothes. So, if you need me, that's what I'll be doing."
"Sure." Alfonzo replied. "Now that you mention it, our bags are still in the Escalade, I'll run back to get them."
"Okay, thanks!" Elicia said.
With that, Alfonzo finished creating enough rifle ammo to fill a magazine. Then, he stood from the bed and turned towards Takashi and Kohta. Before he could start speaking, however, he noticed that their eyes had opened wide. Then, before he could ask them what was wrong, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his chest while a soft, heavenly sensation pressed against his back.
"Alfonzo, I really wanna thank you for saving us earlier." Shizuka, wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts, most-likely from her friend Rika's wardrobe, as they were clearly too small for her and clung to her body tightly, said sensually into Alfonzo's ear.
"Don't worry about it, Shizuka." Alfonzo replied calmly. "It's part of my job."
"Still, I really would like to thank you." Shizuka said as her hands started roaming up and down on Alfonzo's chest. "But I... don't... know... how..."
As she spoke, Shizuka's hands slowed. On top of that, her voice grew softer. Then, by the time she was done, she was no longer moving, her breath was even, and she was leaning on Alfonzo's back.
"Did she just... fall asleep?" Takashi asked while looking away.
"Hehe! Pandas are great..." Kohta said absent-mindedly.
'God damn it…' Alfonzo muttered internally. 'I'm glad she fell asleep when she did. If she had kept going, I would have ended up with a boner.'
"I think she did." Alfonzo said as he turned around and picked up Shizuka in a princess carry. "Anyway, I'll tuck her into the bed in here. Then, I'm gonna head to my magic vehicle and get me and Lici's luggage."
"Sure." Takashi replied.
"And I think you guys should move all that stuff to another room." Alfonzo said. Then, he turned his gaze to Kohta. "Oh, and you should probably smack some sense into Kohta, too."
"Got it." Takashi said with a nod. "Then, he started gathering all the guns, magazines, and ammunition.
Meanwhile, Alfonzo floated everything Takashi could not carry into an empty bedroom. Then, he tucked Shizuka into the bed in the master bedroom before opening the door to the balcony and flying towards where he left the Escalade.

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Takanosu.
October, x785.
===NSFW=== {A/N: I don't know if it's enough to call it R-18, but I put up an NSFW tag at the beginning and end of this short section.}
In an abandoned grocery store, a group of young men were going through the available food. Meanwhile, in the back room, there were many young women spread around the room. On top of that, they were all strip completely naked.
At the same time, there was a single man viciously violating the most voluptuous of the young women. And had any of the six survivors Alfonzo and Elicia rescued been present, they would have been able to recognize him immediately.
"Damn those bitches!" Shido, the man violating the young woman shouted angrily. "Once I've had enough time to amass more magic power, I'll give them a punishment worse than death! Ugh!"
Just then, after only four minutes of relieving his sexual urges with the young woman underneath him, Shido shuddered before flopping down powerlessly. Meanwhile, the young woman showed no signs of happiness or enjoyment. She only had a lifeless look in her eyes and an empty smile on her face.
A moment later, Shido pushed himself off the woman with a manic smile on his face.
"And once I've amassed enough magic power, I'll have full control over all the undead." Shido said with insanity in his tone. "When that happens, I pray all of you are still alive. I'll enjoy seeing you beg me for mercy. Hahahahaha!"
Standing up a moment later, Shido looked down at the young woman he just ravaged with disinterest.
"Such a plain woman." Shido said before walking away.
As he moved, Shido remembered another woman he lusted for. A blonde woman with an exaggerated hourglass figure.
"Then, once I've punished all those bitches." Shido said with a deranged smile. "I'll reward you for giving me this power, Junko Enoshima."
===NSFW End===
Meanwhile, Alfonzo, who had made a trip to his Escalade, was on his way back with his and Elicia's luggage. However, instead of flying straight to the Escalade and back, Alfonzo took the time to thin out some of the zombies roaming the streets.
On top of that, he found something rather unsettling. While most of the zombies were content with just roaming the town aimlessly, some of the more powerful ones were feasting on the weaker zombies. And when they did so, they grew in power.
"Damn, this is bad." Alfonzo muttered as he shot a bullet-shaped chunk of metal through one of the cannibalistic zombies. "Things are gonna get way out of hand if we don't start putting these mother fuckers down fast."
Eventually, while killing as many zombies as he could along the way, Alfonzo returned to the front door of Rika's home. Then using his [Metal Magic] he quietly unlocked the door and went inside.
A few moments later, Alfonzo had climbed the stairs to the main living area. When he did, he smelled the scent of food coming from the kitchen. Turning his head in that direction, Alfonzo froze in surprise.
'Damn, even though I knew this shit happened in the anime, I wasn't expecting to see it here.' Alfonzo thought to himself while he stared. 'But yeah, baby got back. God damn she thick.'
At the end of Alfonzo's line of sight, Saeko, only wearing an apron and a purple thong, was tending to a pot of soup over the stove.
"Uh... Miss Busujima..." Alfonzo said in an uncertain tone. Though he did not look away from Saeko's backside.
"Hmm? Oh, Mr. Marcus, you're back." Saeko said as she looked back over her shoulder. "Is something wrong?"
Naturally, Saeko had noticed Alfonzo's gaze. However, it did not seem to bother her. Instead, she simply turned back to the pot she was tending to. Though, Alfonzo would swear that he saw her butt jiggle when she did so.
"Believe me, I'm not complaining about the view." Alfonzo said with a wry smile. "But why are you dressed like that? I thought Lici was making clothes for you girls."
"Oh, that..." Saeko said. Then, she shrugged her shoulders, causing her butt to bounce a little, as she continued. "She's making them now. But I told her to focus on the other girls first."
"I see." Alfonzo replied as he started walking towards the stairs.
Climbing the stairs a moment later, Alfonzo missed it when Saeko looked over her shoulder and smiled. Instead, he noticed Saya sitting on the top step and glaring down at him.
"Is something wrong, Miss Takagi?" Alfonzo asked curiously.
"Your wife said you were some kind of genius." Saya said in a competitive tone. "Well, I just wanted to let you know that you're not as smart as I am."
With that, Saya stood up, turned around, and entered the master bedroom before closing the door.
"Well, that happened..." Alfonzo muttered while shaking his head.
Continuing forward, Alfonzo walked past the room where Takashi and Kohta were filling magazines with the bullets Alfonzo created. Then, he reached the room where he and Elicia would sleep. And when he did, he saw Elicia putting the finishing touches on an outfit that Rei was wearing while the two chatted animatedly.
*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Hey, I'm back." Alfonzo said as he knocked on the door frame.
"Welcome back, Fonzie." Elicia said as she continued to work. "How was the trip?"
"I got the luggage with no problem." Alfonzo replied. "But on the way back, I saw some shit I didn't like."
"The people are starting to act like animals, aren't they?" Rei asked, frowning slightly as she did so. "Situations like this really bring out the worst in people."
"Although you're not wrong, that's not what I was talking about." Alfonzo said while shaking his head. "What I saw is a lot more dangerous."
Hearing that, Rei's frown deepened. Meanwhile, Elicia waited until she was done working to react.
"What happened, Fonzie?" Elicia asked after making sure Rei's outfit was perfect.
"I think it would be better to explain it so that everyone can hear." Alfonzo said in a solemn tone.
"It's that bad, huh?" Elicia asked rhetorically. "Then, should we wake up Shizuka and Saya?"
"I doubt Saya is even asleep." Alfonzo said while smiling wryly. "I mean, she did just tell me that I wasn't smarter than her."
Hearing that, Elicia and Rei could not help but giggle.
"Anyway, I'll go get Saya." Rei said as she started moving towards the bedroom's door. "I don't know about waking up Miss Marikawa, though."
"Well, she's a non-combatant, anyway." Elicia replied with a shrug. "We can give her the short version tomorrow."
"Okay." Rei said as she left the room.
At the same time, Alfonzo stepped into the room and put down his and Elicia's luggage.
"You couldn't make a simple pair of shorts and a tank top for Miss Busujima?" Alfonzo asked while smiling wryly as he took a seat next to Elicia.
"What's wrong, didn't like the view?" Elicia said playfully.
"You know that's not it." Alfonzo replied, his wry smile widening. "But still, what if Kamuro or Hirano went down stairs. Kamuro aside, Hirano would have fainted while leaking blood from his nose."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Elicia said. "I had my [Detection Threads] spread all over the apartment. So, if they had left that room, I would have known. Then, I would have stopped them from going downstairs."
"I see." Alfonzo replied while narrowing his eyes. "So, that was just to tease me?"
"What do you mean?" Elicia replied in the most innocent tone she could muster.
Rolling his eyes, Alfonzo took a change of clothes out of his luggage. He wanted to take a shower and get cleaned up, after all.
"Even if it was just to tease me, I don't understand why she would go along with it." Alfonzo muttered.
"Who knows." Elicia shrugged. "But when Takashi saw her like that in the anime, it didn't seem to bother her either."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Alfonzo replied with a shrug.
"She's got a nice butt, though, doesn't she?" Elicia said with a smile while nudging Alfonzo with her shoulder.
In response, Alfonzo could only smile wryly while shaking his head.
"Anyway, I'm gonna take a bath." Alfonzo said. "Get her a pair of shorts before everyone gets together for what I have to say."
"'Kay~~~." Elicia replied.
With that, Alfonzo left the room and went downstairs to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Elicia made a simple pair of shorts and a tank top for Saeko while Rei and Saya tried to wake up Shizuka for the announcement. At the same time, Takashi and Kohta continued loading ammo into clips.
Half an hour later, Alfonzo left the bathroom. When he did, he saw the entire group, even Shizuka, sitting in the living room.
"So, what was so important that you needed to gather all of us?" Saya asked with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Everyone else was looking at Alfonzo with solemn expressions as well. Well, everyone other than Shizuka, who was doing her best to stay awake.
"You all saw those zombies that were faster and stronger than the others, right?" Alfonzo asked after taking in everyone's expression.
In response, the others nodded.
"Well, while I was out getting Lici and I's luggage, I saw those kinds of zombies devouring the weaker ones." Alfonzo continued.
"Wait! You mean they were eating the other zombies?" Takashi asked in an astonished tone.
"That's right." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "And they got stronger with every zombie they ate."
While Elicia narrowed her eyes in response, the others opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"Now, I made sure to kill all the ones I saw eating other zombies while I was on my way back." Alfonzo said in a solemn tone. "But I'm sure there's no way that was all of them. So, when we go out tomorrow, we'll have to be careful of more powerful zombie variants. Hell, there's a chance they could even unlock magic with the extra magic power they gain through cannibalism."
That speculation caused all the survivors, with the exception of Saeko, who seemed excited, to wear downcast expressions. Seeing that, Alfonzo and Elicia made eye contact for a moment. Then, after a short conversation via eye contact, they both nodded.
"So, for tomorrow, we'll be putting you all through a crash course on how to use your magic power." Alfonzo said. "Meaning, while Lici goes out to cut down the number of zombies, I'll be training the lot of you. Unfortunately, I don't have any magic books on hand. Then again, I guess that doesn't matter. If you haven't awakened magic naturally, there's no way a day of training will be enough for you to use it in any meaningful way."
"Then what good will training do?" Saya asked in an irritated tone.
"For one, learning how to use your magic power can help strengthen your body." Elicia said while raising the index finger of her left hand. "Meaning, you'll be stronger, can move faster, have better reflexes, etc."
"Also, it will allow you to use some of the magic guns we found to protect yourself." Alfonzo added. "Because to use [Holder Magic] like [Guns Magic], all you need to do is flow your magic power into the magic gun as you pull the trigger."
"Learning the proper way to fire a magic gun would be needed, too." Kohta chimed in.
"Hirano's right." Alfonzo said with a nod. "So, he'll be helping me when it comes to training you in the use of magic guns tomorrow."
"Hmph! Like he could teach a genius like me anything." Saya said as she looked away.
"Anyway, you all should get some rest." Elicia said, ignoring Saya's statement completely. "Fonzie and I will take turns watching the surroundings."
"Are you sure?" Saeko asked. "Shouldn't we all take turns on watch duty?"
"If it were just the six of you, that would be a good idea." Elicia said as she wrapped an arm around Shizuka, who had fallen asleep on her shoulder. "But none of you are trained wizards. So, I'm sure you're minds and bodies are much more stressed and exhausted than you realize."
Reaching that point, Elicia picked up Shizuka and stood from the couch.
"As for me and Fonzie, we've been training since we were six." Elicia continued. "So, we'll take care of night watch."
"Lici's right." Alfonzo added. "Just take the chance to get as much rest as you can. You'll need it for tomorrow's training."
After hesitating for a moment, the group of survivors, minus Shizuka, for obvious reasons, nodded in understanding. Then, Elicia, carrying Shizuka, Saeko, Saya, and Rei headed up stairs to get some sleep.
While Elicia carried Shizuka into the master bedroom, Saya followed her. Meanwhile, Saeko and Rei took the only remaining empty room.
"You two aren't going to bed?" Alfonzo asked Takashi and Kohta curiously.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Takashi replied. "But I wanna take a bath first."
"Yeah, me, too." Kohta added.
"Alright." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "You guys get the room where we moved all the guns. And I'll be sharing a room with Lici."
"Roger that." Kohta replied.
"Got it." Takashi said as he stood up from the couch.
With that, Kohta and Takashi made their way into the bathroom.
"I'll have Lici make you guys some stuff you can sleep in." Alfonzo said from outside the bathroom door. "It should be ready by the time you're done with your bath. We'll get some clothes for you to move around in taken care of later."
After receiving words of understanding, Alfonzo made his way upstairs. And when he eventually made it to the room he would be sharing with Elicia, he saw her weaving her Vibranium thread into cloth.
"Can you make something for the guys in the bath?" Alfonzo asked.
"Already on it." Elicia replied with a smile. "And I'll take the first look out. You can get some sleep for now. I'll wake you up in a few hours."
"Alright, thanks." Alfonzo replied as he lay on the bed next to Elicia. "Good night. Love you."
"Love you, too, Fonzie." Elicia said with her smile widening.
Like that, Elicia continued to work while Alfonzo got a few hours of sleep. All the while, Elicia worked on functional, protective clothing for the six survivors they were looking after. She even managed to finish the clothes for Takashi and Kohta to sleep in before they got out of the bath.
