chapter 8

"hey nikki, just what do you think will they name the baby?" leo said

They were now in nikkis room inside the mansion, where they now look upon the full moon at the window.

"i dont really know. What would you like to name them leo?" nikki said

"i dont know either, maybe suzu would do?" leo said, unsure

"why suzu? And what does that mean?" nikki said

"in the old japanese language, suzu would mean a bell. To ring the bells of good fortune." leo said

" but isnt that an old language from before the great continental shifting?" nikki said, curious

"yes, i learned it in my past life. Nowadays, language is mixed, based on which countries were combined." leo said

"pop quiz, do you know of a combined country in the past? And why?" nikki said

"well, our country is one, in fact. Because its from the remnants of what once known as the philippines northern continent, majority of japan, and parts of south korea combined. What is now called, neo japan." leo said

"correct. Man you arent the top student for nothing." nikki said, before she kissed him

"so, what does that mean?" leo said, teasingly

"you already know what that means leo.. It means that im ready for you." nikki said, lovingly

"im ready anytime." leo said, before they kissed again

"wait, on second thought, let me wash myself first." nikki said, slightly pushing leo away

"well then, lets go take a bath together." leo said, before carrying nikki towards the bathroom down the hall

After that, leo made nikki happy, as happy as they want it.

Then on the next day, on a sunday..

"hmm.. Just why is sheryl taking so long?" leo said

Leo was now waiting for over almost an hour now, as it was now sheryls turn to be with him. Where they are meeting at another train station.

Then after another minute, he saw her at a distance..

"sorry we are late.." sheryl said, catching her breath

"we?" leo said, surprised by whom she had also tagged along

"sorry for being here, but sheryl insisted that i should also be here." miku said, also catching her breath

Sheryl was now wearing a black blouse, with pants, while miku was also wearing pants, but with white shirt, and both bringing backpacks. All while leo is wearing another casual attire, with a sling bag.

"dont worry about it. If sheryl brought you along, then it must be for a good reason." leo said to miku

"yeah, hear me out leo--" sheryl said, but was being stopped by miku

"whats wrong miku? There is nothing to be ashamed of here." leo said, patting her head

"hes right miku, he should hear your story." sheryl said

"a-alright then." miku said, with a bit of hesitation

"but first, we must catch a train! Lets hurry up!" leo said, before he grabbed their hands

They now went to the train, which they were almost late for it too. Where the train was a local train, which its destination is always near.

"whew! We made it." leo said, as they were all relieved, and sat on their seats

"now miku, you can tell him everything." sheryl said, with a slight push at the back

"after you told dad about the treasure or something, he and my mom were now very busy. Too busy to even notice me sometimes." miku said, sadly, as she was comforted by sheryl

"i see.." leo said, before he checked his surroundings to have no people around yet. "You see, the treasure that i mentioned, is a compilation of data from the enemy itself, the krood. As they were studying us, we were also studying them." he said

"really? Is that really all?" miku said, as sheryl was also surprised

"aside from that, there are also data from their weapons, as well as the data on the transformed humans." leo said

"transformed? What do you mean?" sheryl said, curious

"lets keep everything between us, ok? Is that a deal?" leo said, with a pinky swear

"yes, we will." sheryl said, before they all agreed to pinky swear

"to accommodate humans in their environment and to be their slaves and all, they must first change humans biology to adapt to their environment. So they used what we all call, genetic engineering, to change the outlook of humans, into somewhat close to looking like them. Whether its for a female to become a baby factory, or the male to become actual slaves doing their dirty work." leo said

"i see.. But does that take the lives of those humans?" miku said

"naturally, yes. Though all the data about it, and everything else, are in the ship. Buried beneath the deadlands of what was known as russia." leo said, before looking at the surroundings again, to be safe

"isnt telling us really bad?" miku said, as sheryl agrees

"naturally, yes. But no one is around, so its safe. And because of many other factors as well." leo said

"like what?" sheryl said

"before, lica told me to also trust you sheryl, and the other girls, in doing what must be done. She was telling a truth, so i took her advice. And miku is already in it deep, so i thought, why not?" leo said, as a matter of fact

"i understand leo, and im glad that you are understanding of us." sheryl said, as miku agrees

"anyways, why again you brought her along?" leo said

"just like what lica did for me, im now doing for her. As a friend, and as a senpai." sheryl said, as this made miku happy

"i see.. So, where are we headed to now?" leo said, curious

After they got to their destination, they also rode a bus, towards the said place.

"whoa.. There are lots of animals." miku said, as she sees the map to the place, as she and sheryl was standing at the side

They were now at the zoo, where leo just finished buying some tickets for them.

"and this place also has its safari adventure too." leo said as he brought the tickets

"have you gone to the zoo before miku?" sheryl said

"yes, but not with a lot of animals, just like this. And with a safari." miku said

"lets go." sheryl said, before they now emtered the zoo

There they enjoyed all the attractions in the zoo, even including the animal petting section. Where almost all the rabbits had gone to leo to be petted or fed.

"that was shocking, to think that they will all go to leo." sheryl said, a bit laughing with miku

They were now at the safari zone, where they enjoyed the scenic views and wildlife.

"yeah.. As if they were all attracted to him." miku said, still smiling, as leo could only be awkward about it

"ok girls, thats enough. We are now here to enjoy the views and animals right?" leo said

"alright." sheryl said, as miku understoods

After a while, they now went to the lion zone, where all the lions were.

"and here we have the lions." the guide said

Everybody was excited to see one, until a lion went near leo and the girls.

"whoa, stay behind me girls." leo said, at the sight of the lion

Good thing about this, is that the car has its barrier cage. Then when then the lion roared, everyone was nervous. And leo knew he had to do something, and shouted back a roar.

"what are you doing leo?" sheryl said

"im just making communication, i think." leo said, unsure, before the lion roars back

But when leo was about to roar back, the lion then went towards the nearest lioness and mounted on it, and is now giving her some love.

"oh.. This is awkward." miku said at the sight

"well, thats how all wild animals are anyways." sheryl said, facing leo

"anyways, guide, please continue with the tour." leo said to the guide

"yes!" the guide said, before he went on

Later that evening, after they ate dinner..

"now that we have just ate dinner, how about it miku?" sheryl said, as they both shared a bath

Both of them were now in the bath, in their hotel room.

"how about what miss sheryl?" miku said

"how about leo give you some happiness?" sheryl said

"wh-what?! I couldnt steal him away from all of you." miku said, surprised

"no worries there miku, there is maybe room for 1 more, if you ask me." sheryl said, with a smile

"but my dad almost killed him right? I feel that i dont have the qualifications for it." miku said, nervous and sad

"but you are lonely now right?" sheryl said, as miku agrees. "so we will give you some happiness or love, which ever you may need."

"im already happy as it is now, really." miku said

"even if we are all sharing the same room?" sheryl said

"what do you mean?" miku said, now blushing, as she knows where this might be going

"well, if you are unsure of your answer, i will still convince leo to give you some happiness later." sheryl said, before she stood up from the bathtub

"wait!" miku said as she grabs sheryls hand. "will he really accept me as i am?" she said, very nervous

"how did you think the four of us got with leo in the first place?" sheryl said, before miku lets her go

Then that night, leo gave sheryl some happiness, but later on also gave miku, as she got out of the bath and asked for it. All because of how leo gave love to sheryl.
