After that little incident, things had calmed down for the group, although the girls still couldn't look Cloud in the eye after they had sex with him.

Rika was still a bit sad but she hid it quite well with her professional attitude.

Shizuka was a little confused with the whole situation but after thinking about it, she decided to put it all aside and wait until later to talk to Rika again.

Yuriko stayed by her daughter's side, who still didn't know how to react. She wanted to be next to the boy she liked but not thanks to a lucky accident. Saya felt that she was taking the easy way out, although deep inside herself, she was grateful for the situation.

Miku was with Shizuka most of the time while Rei was with Kaede and Airi.

"I think it's time we start our operations again"-Cloud said as he looked at Yuriko. The woman was a little more relaxed and after the incident with her daughter, things between them were a little more normal-"Maybe we can divert all these problems we have right now"

"Diverting things is not always the solution, Cloud" - denied the woman with purple hair - "There are times when you have to try to fix things one way or another"

"Tell me... what do you think I should do then?" the blond asked as he looked at the beautiful woman.

"If we talk respect to the girls, it would be better if the four of us talk and make things clear" - Yuriko replied - "Maybe it's not so necessary with Miku, since she has a good head on her shoulders according to what Shizuka said- san... but Rei and Saya are a separate issue"

"I can say for a fact that my daughter is an idiot in matters like this" - continued the woman - "I'm sure that right now she has to be walking from one place to another to find a logical answer... instead Rei ...let's just say she's just as closed-minded as Saya-chan..."

"Tell it like it really is, they want to have it all" - replied the blond.

"Can you blame them?" - asked Yuriko - "Just a few weeks ago they only had to worry about beating their rivals in love... now they are forced to share... and let's just say that they are possessive, so it makes it much more complicated, especially Saya-chan, since we gave her everything she wanted. But thinking about it, this is easy to fix... you just have to impose yourself in front of them so they understand"

"Impose myself?" -Cloud could only raise an eyebrow when he heard this.

"Impose yourself..." - the purple-haired woman agreed - "You have to see it this way, Saya and Rei are stubborn so you have to make them understand things directly and firmly. Although I'm advising you on this seeing the situation closest to ours before the outbreak, which would be the Islamic culture"

". . ." -Cloud frowned when he heard this because he honestly didn't want to act like an 'overbearing husband', though honestly it was the only option he had at the moment.

"But let's better see the next topic and this would be Rika-san" - Yuriko said seriously - "This one is a bit more complicated..."

"You don't have to tell me" - the blonde sighed.

"When I say this, it's because it doesn't depend on you, but on her" - continued the yakuza woman - "According to what she said, it's the first time she's been so interested in a woman and that she's already had male partners, that leaves of course she is not a lesbian but a bisexual, which makes this situation not as complicated as you think"

"You're not trying to say…" the blonde muttered as he shook his head.

"Exactly, you just have to make some of that interest go in your direction" - Yuriko nodded as she crossed her arms and in the process, further accentuating her large breasts - "I'll be honest, it's quite unlikely that she's a lesbian all of a sudden, so it's probably her desire to protect the last family she has left... it may even be that her affection as a friend has been influenced in the same way. Perhaps a great mix of factors, caused her to confuse her deep concern for love... or you can really feel something for your friend but this is more than anything a self-defense method not to be left behind... the human mind can be complex but at the same time easy to understand"

". . ." -Cloud was silent for a few seconds while he looked at the woman in front of him with surprise.

"What can I say? My agent training gave me a doctorate in psychology" - Yuriko said with a shrug - "As a special agent, I have to understand human psychology well in order to use it to my advantage, especially when I'm dealing with to seduce"

And that's when Cloud understood why she had a skill like Seduction.

"But getting back on topic, you just have to make her feel something for you and that's it, you can have as many threesomes as you want" - Yuriko smiled - "I don't think any of you lose anything in that situation"

"That sounds so strange and at the same time makes so much sense…" the blonde sighed as he shook his head.

"There are times when the solution is easy to reach but thanks to countless thoughts, this answer is lost" - Yuriko replied with a smile.

The rest of the day, Cloud was hanging out with the girls while he followed Yuriko's advice. He first went to Saya and Rei to make the situation clear to them, although this led to a small argument that after 30 minutes, the girls couldn't debate because the blonde had already left everything on the table. The two girls only nodded in annoyance at them, although after the blonde left, they began to think about their situation a little more, reaching a momentary consensus. Later, he went to Miku and talked to her, although this did not take long because Miku from the beginning did not expect to stay as the blonde's girlfriend for reasons that she would not explain.

Cloud was currently sitting outside the dwelling that his group was using as he watched the sky that was now dark. The night had come and he was thinking about everything that had happened in the last few days.

"What are you doing?" Rika asked as she walked in her direction "I thought you would be with the girls"

"There are times when it's better to be alone and think in complete peace of mind"-the blonde replied as he gave her a quick glance-"What are you doing?"

"Me? I'm just getting some air" - Rika said while looking at the sky - "I'm doing the same as you, thinking about what has happened the last few days... although more than anything this morning"

". . ." - The two were silent as they watched the dark sky.

"Well, I better go"-Cloud said as he got up-"It was good to see that you're better"

"Thanks," Rika nodded as she watched the blonde leave, "Better... huh?"

* * * * *

A new day had arrived and the group was ready to start the search and rescue operation again. The few days of rest had been more than enough, not to mention that the more time they wasted, the more survivors could end up dying.

It had been more than two weeks since the outbreak had started and the percentage of deaths was increasing with each passing hour.

"It's time we went back to hell!" - Yuriko exclaimed as she looked at the soldiers who would go with her this time. Rei stayed with the group but to everyone's surprise, Saya decided to come too.

Kohta had also decided to attend because he felt she was getting rusty.

Rika was also present and next to her was Shizuka, who had made the decision to attend as a field doctor.

"This time I'm going to stay at the base because I need to train" - Saeko said calmly - "I feel like I'm about to break a barrier in my Kenjutsu"

"Ok" - nodded the blonde - "I ask you to please protect the others"

"You don't have to say it, they are my sisters"-Saeko smiled as she gave him a kiss-"Good luck, Danna-sama"

"See you later" - agreed Cloud with a smile.

"See you, Cloud"-Kyoko said as she gave him a kiss, being followed by Miku-"Come back safely, Cloud..."

"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet"-smiled the blonde as he got into Yuriko's vehicle with Rei and Saya.

"Everyone ready?" Yuriko asked with a smile on her face.

"When you order it, Yuriko-sama" - said the driver.

"I feel a little nervous"-said Saya as she looked out the window. She had been practicing all this time so she could help even a little bit.

"Easy, Saya"-Rei smiled as she put her hand on her friend's shoulder-"she just takes a deep breath and lets everything move as it should be"

"Ok..." - nodded the pink-haired girl.

"Let's go! I have a good feeling today!" Yuriko exclaimed as she nodded to her daughter, "It's time to start this mission!"

"Hai!" - Saying that, the driver started the vehicle and left the military base while the other cars followed him closely.

Today began the second mission of the search and rescue team.
