Chapter 16
“I don’t see them yet,” Chun-Yan commented as she looked through her binoculars. “Why are they taking so long? The gunfire ended a while ago. I hope they didn’t get lost.”
“No… My friends said they should be coming over that hill any moment now with your new employees,” Arthur replied.
“Any new lady employees?” Francis asked hopefully.
“My friends say that she’s probably not the type you’re looking for. She’s very muscular and authoritative.”
“Nuts. It feels like life is making fun of me for being such a romantic lover.”
“Romantic lover? Nauseating creep is a title much more suited for you.”
“You know, it’s not very intelligent to insult the one who cooks your meals every day.”
“Hush you two!” Chun-Yan ordered. “I see them now! Is this your missing group?” She handed the binoculars to Eduard.
“N… No,” Eduard stammered as he looked, “It is not them! Oh my… Then that means… RAIVISSSSSSSS!”
“What the hell was that for?”
“Oh sorry! It… It is a habit of mine. It is very hard to break. I am sure they are fine. They probably just headed the wrong way and gotten lost. Yes.” Eduard handed the binoculars back to her.
“Thank you. I’m sure Arthur’s friends will spot them eventually.” Chun-Yan looked through the binoculars again. “Another scrawny boy. Oh well… Muscle girl… I like her already! She’ll be very useful. And then… He looks familiar. He looks like…”
“You know him?” Arthur asked.
“I do! Kiku… I can’t believe that nerd-boy is still alive.”
Eduard asked, “Is he another tech nerd like me?”
“I wish!” Chun-Yan scoffed. “He’s not a skillful nerd with electronics like you. He reads comics all day and doesn’t like going out in the sun. He lived with us at my place for a few weeks then disappeared. We thought he got eaten by wolves or something.”
“I can’t imagine why he left,” Arthur whispered to Francis under his breath.
Amelia ran happily towards them and made a victory pose. “SUCCESS! Hero Team had another successful mission! All zombies in the area have been annihilated and victims have been rescued!”
Monika scratched her head. “Um… We weren’t in danger…”
“Miss Amelia just does that,” Toris quietly explained to her, “It makes her happy.”
“Kiku!” Chun-Yan barked.
Kiku jumped. “M… Miss Chun-Yan! Hello! I did not expect you to be here.”
“We wondered where you went! Where the hell where you all this time?
“Well… I wanted…”
“Wait, wait, wait…” Feliciano interrupted, “There’s plenty of time for explanations! How about we tell them over dinner! I’m starving!”
Chapter 17
Chun-Yan had Arthur set up lawn chairs around a campfire for Monika and Kiku while she set up her own personal comfy chair.
“Thank you. Do you have a seat too?” Kiku asked as he sat down.
Arthur leaned towards him and whispered, “I rather stand behind her so when she says something utterly ridiculous I can make disgusted faces behind her back without her noticing.”
“I understand completely,” Kiku replied as Arthur found a spot behind Chun-Yan’s chair.
“Go ahead, Kiku,” Monika said as she leaned back in her chair.
Kiku started, “Now I will tell you where I have been for the past few weeks.”
Chun-Yan glared at Kiku. “You better have a good reason for leaving!”
Kiku took a deep breath. “I left because I did not want to be a farmer for the rest of my life; I wanted to live the life of a lone samurai. I would live just like my favorite manga character!”
Chun-Yan scoffed.
Kiku continued, “It was great for the first few days but after a week of traveling aimlessly, I realized being a lone samurai was not as glamorous in reality as it was in manga. I also forgot to make a bow and a quiver of arrows to bring with me so I could hunt efficiently. I gave up trying to be a samurai and I started to travel back to the farm. While trying to make my way back, I luckily stumbled upon a big group of survivors living in a town together.”
“There’s a town?” Arthur gave a quick smile as he realized now he might have a chance to ditch Chun-Yan entirely.
“The town was left in good condition so it is a very tolerable place to live. This is where I met Miss Monika and Mr. Feliciano.”
“Why out you wandering out here now?”
“We were on our way to your place but we… ran into car problems.”
All eyes fell on Feliciano who was not paying attention to their conversation but to what Francis was cooking for dinner.
Monika let out a sigh then looked at Chun-Yan. “We already checked possible routes on our map and our places are only around 112 kilometers apart. On a bike, it would only take two days of travel at most.”
Chun-Yan stood up. “Then it’s decided! Tomorrow, we’ll head to your town! I want to see it for myself!”
Monika nodded. “That’s fine. The others are probably worried since we should’ve been back by now. I hope my brother remembered to feed my babies.”
“Of course he fed them… Your brother is crazy about your dogs! He would never let them starve,” Feliciano reassured her from behind.
“How long were you standing back there?!”
“Just now.”
“We’ll discuss further plans and details after dinner.” Chun-Yan grinned at Monika. “I can’t wait to meet more future employees!”
Monika shot Arthur a questioning look. He just shook his head and walked off.
Chapter 18
“Hi, bella!” Feliciano cheerfully greeted Amelia as he strolled over to where Amelia’s “hero team” was having their nightly meeting. Amelia and Feliks drew with crayons as usual. Near them, Toris was forced to sit in Anya’s lap while she ran her fingers through his hair. He looked really uncomfortable.
Amelia looked up from her paper and smiled. “Hi! It’s Amelia though.”
“Monika sent me over here to hang with you while the adults are talking. She says I have a problem being quiet.”
“I hear that a lot too. Hey… Do you want to join my hero team? I only have two sidekicks right now. A leader like me can never have enough sidekicks to destroy zombies and bad guys with.”
Anya huffed. “I do not like this job title of “sidekick”… but I do like the job description.”
“Why did you say you only have two sidekicks when there are three of us, Miss Amelia?” Toris asked.
“That’s because you’re not a sidekick. You’re the team’s manager,” Amelia replied.
“I do not understand. What does a team manager do, Miss Amelia?”
“You’re sort of like what Alfred is to Batman. You’re an advisor so you organize stuff and keep the team from doing stupid things.”
“Oh… I see, Miss Amelia.”
Feliciano nervously scratched the back of his neck. “Sorry, bella but fighting zombies isn’t for me. I’m more of a lover than a fighter, you see. I wouldn’t be that much of help to you. Zombies are so scary! The first time I saw one, I hid under Monika’s shirt. She didn’t like that very much.”
“Monika is like pretty strong and stuff,” Feliks noted. “Would she like to join?”
“I doubt it. I don’t think your group has much use for a veterinarian anyway.” Feliciano looked over at Amelia’s drawing. “You guys like to color? I like to do that too!”
Amelia nodded. “Yep! We are coming up with our hero symbol design so we can paint it on our trailer.”
“We decided on a pink pony with a battle saddle with huge guns,” Feliks added while he held up his drawing.
“Guess what?” Feliciano exclaimed, “I’m an artist! I can paint your trailer for you! I have my paint at the town so I’ll just draw a bunch of potential hero ponies for you until then. You can pick out your favorite when I’m done.”
Amelia stood up and bounced excitedly. “Really? You’ll do that for us?”
“Sure, bella! It’ll give me something to do for a while and if I have something to do then Monika won’t make me train. I prefer painting to running laps.”
Amelia handed Feliciano paper and crayons. He started to draw as Amelia and Feliks watched over his shoulder.
“Oh wow! You’re good!” Amelia noted.
“Thank you! This should be really easy to do even though I never drawn any pink battle ponies before.”
Toris wanted to watch also but Anya would not let go. “Miss Anya…” he begged while he struggled in her lap.
Anya gave him an irritated look then finally let him go.
“Do you want to watch too, Miss Anya?” Toris asked her.
“Not really.” Anya shrugged. “Maybe if he was drawing a sunflower with a shovel, I would be interested. Maybe.”
