"Stress Relief" Complete / The Queen Has Arrived

"The Sleeping Knights Group, founded by the Konno Sisters, consist mostly of fellow patients suffering from terminal illnesses. Once they survive the new drug treatment, their loyalty is beyond question..."

"And the [Moonlit Black Cat Group] to which the Kirigaya Siblings belong also has some good candidates..."

Kevin didn't care at all and handed the decision-making power over to the experienced Yuriko Takagi.

"You can choose the remaining number of people if you don't have enough..."

When the door to the residence opened, Yuriko Takagi, her cheeks flushed, entered and closed the door behind her.

Next, you should enjoy the process, BOSS...

Besides her business work, relieving her boss's stress is also part of her job...

P. S.: Let's get the members of Highschool of the Dead involved!

The Fifth Squad, tentatively named YoRHa Unit.

Chapter 282, Section 296, "Stress Relief" Completed

Inside, in the large, steamy bathtub, Kevin lay with his arms outstretched, leaning against the edge, his eyes gently closed, relaxing his mind and body as the warm water washed over his tired muscles.

Amidst the soft footsteps, a pair of delicate hands massaged the muscles on the commander's shoulders, and a tray laden with drinks and pastries was brought closer to Kevin.

His muscles tensed suddenly, and he instinctively turned around, his eyes nearly dazzled by two enormous pairs of "evil" figures.

Doctor Shizuka... and... Yuriko? How did they get in?

Kevin looked somewhat taken aback. The two mature women with voluptuous figures, tightly wrapped in bath towels, were simply too much for the commander to handle.

"Today's work is complete. Tony Stark has important matters to attend to and is expected to visit tomorrow..."

"The news from Catalina Island has spread. You've been under too much pressure; you need a rest..."

"Shizuka is a nursing major, and I originally planned to have her as your personal physician, while I am your personal assistant. We should be by your side at all times..."

"But you always seem to be caught up in busyness and danger. Today, you've finally managed to free up some time; let's do our part..."

Yuriko Takagi sliced the fruit skewered on bamboo sticks and fed it to Kevin, her tone calm yet earnest.

As for the School Doctor Shizuka behind him, muttering to herself and reaching out to find acupoints, she was clearly in her usual daze.

Moreover, because the woman was leaning so close to him in order to exert force, her two extremely developed lumps of flesh on her chest almost clamped down on Kevin's head.

The commander instinctively opened his mouth, but a slice of apple was put into his mouth to stop him from speaking. Then, the very perceptive Yuriko Takagi picked up a glass of plum juice with a straw and offered it to Kevin's lips.

As his neck and shoulder muscles relaxed and his mouth filled with coolness, Kevin had to admit that he was defeated by this decadent lifestyle.

Although I do good deeds without expecting anything in return, I cannot go against their wishes or dampen the enthusiasm of my subordinates. Besides, in history, Zilu saving a person and receiving an ox is a behavioral principle praised by Confucius.

Kevin hypnotized himself in this way, and then comfortably enjoyed the service of the two mature women.

Because the commander had been under constant stress, and because he had to lower himself to appease his female confidantes, the temptation to be waited on was indeed hard to resist.

As time passed, Kevin leaned against the edge of the pool, tilted his head back, and comfortably closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

However, the aftereffects of battlefield life made the commander a light sleeper; the slightest ripple on the water on either side would soon wake him.

At that moment, he was shocked to find that Yuriko Takagi and Shizuka Marikawa, who had torn off their bath towels, had already entered the water from both sides.

The alluring, purple-haired woman before him was lowering her delicate body and diving into the pool.

"Alright, you're all tired, go back and rest..."

"Yuriko, you should understand that I need your talent more than your body..."

Kevin pressed down on Yuriko Takagi as she sank with his right hand. His voice was hoarse, and the flames rising in his eyes were barely suppressed by reason.

But the purple-haired woman did not waver in the slightest. She submerged her delicate hand in the water and grasped it, causing the flames in Kevin's eyes to flicker violently.

"No, the world has changed. I'm willing to give you everything I have..."

"You don't need to feel any burden or responsibility; this is our own choice..."

Yuriko Takagi smiled alluringly and submerged into the water. The intense impact made Kevin, whose willpower was already weak in this area, even more unable to resist.

Shizuka Marikawa, who was usually oblivious to everything, hurriedly raised her hands, which had been covering her chest, to cover her eyes.

In this way, not only was his chest exposed, but the gaps between the idiot's fingers also changed from small to large, clearly indicating that he was peeking from time to time.

Several tens of minutes later, the commander gripped the edge of the bathroom with his five fingers, his arm veins bulging, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Yuriko Takagi floated up from the water, her delicate body limp as she leaned against Kevin's chest.

But in an instant, the shackles of reason were burned away by the flames. Kevin grabbed Yuriko Takagi's shoulders and pulled the purple-haired wife, who was about to sit back on the edge to rest, back to where she was.

The man's hoarse voice carried a strong sense of masculine conquest. "You chose this yourself, so, do you think you can escape?"

Soon, spring was in full bloom, but before they knew it, the flames of war spread. Shizuka Marikawa, whose body was limp, was also unfortunately caught in the crossfire amidst her cries of pain.

As night fell, the two exhausted beauties nestled together and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Kevin, shirtless, carefully applied bruise ointment to the two exhausted beauties, then bent down to tend to their furrowed brows, smiled helplessly, and quietly left.

The commander, who was opening a can of coffee in the living room and flipping through documents, savored the aftertaste for a moment before understanding the deeper meaning behind Yuriko Takagi's earlier words.

A smart and cautious woman... but now she's acting like a frightened bird... way too much.

Kevin shook his head slightly, but the corner of his eye inadvertently lifted slightly, a subtle gesture that revealed his inner emotions.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, the purple-haired wife, propped up on her arms, leaned against the headboard and looked at the delicate application of the ointment on the affected area, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Even on her wedding night, she was never treated so gently by her husband afterward. Instead, after abandoning her dignity and willingly becoming subservient, she actually found the feeling of being cared for by a young man.

Perhaps, I could even have a relationship that transcends age...

The purple-haired woman smiled slightly, gazing at Shizuka Marikawa, who was still fast asleep and sucking her thumb beside her.

The world has changed... and is becoming increasingly dangerous, especially for Yuriko Takagi, who oversees the SCP Foundation's finances and has come into deep contact with the dark side.

The intense unease that had been brewing since Toko City grew stronger day by day, as an ordinary person from a broken family, and a wife who had received traditional Japanese women's education.

It is only natural for delicate vines to cling to trees and grow.

Furthermore, considering the internal structure of the commander's forces, there are Alice, Jill, Angela, Ada from Raccoon City; and Yuzuriha Inori and Sakurami Haruharu from Tennōzu High School...

Asuna Yuuki, Shino Asada, and the Konno Sisters in Tokyo; 2B and A2 in Los Angeles... Each of the groups they represent has a close relationship with Kevin, and they have been through life and death together many times.

However, only the Fujimi Academy has a weak foundation and a history of betrayal. Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Marikawa, who are on good terms with Kevin, are either used to being alone or are naturally naive.

This man is indeed principled and kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean he can be taken advantage of without restraint.

In the initial experimental deployment of the [World Tree System], the allocation of resources subconsciously overlooked the group at the Fujimi Academy...

Currently, Yuriko Takagi is at the highest point, so she sees things most clearly. This man who stirs up trouble is building a vast, invisible empire to deal with the ever-present calamities.

Meanwhile, the Fujimi Academy is being pushed out of the core of power, and if a crisis were to occur and a choice had to be made, they would inevitably be among the first to be abandoned.

Therefore, as the only one who can speak for the Fujimi Academy community, I must make a decisive move to solidify the relationship between the two sides.

According to Yuriko Takagi's observation, the only thing that could bind this man was emotion; the fact that he could shed tears for the Konno Sisters, who were initially worthless, was proof enough of this.

So she took the gamble, and she succeeded, didn't she?

Chapter 297, Section 283: The Empress Arrives

A long night, Washington, D. C., the White House, the Oval Office.

Adam Benford, who had just entered middle age, was ambitious and eager to make a name for himself after taking up his new position.

Cutting spending and revitalizing local industries have always been his policies, but the constraints imposed by domestic conglomerates make it extremely difficult for him to take action in the market.

With no domestic options available, President Benford gradually turned his attention overseas.

In order to maintain its hegemonic status, the United States frequently maintains military presence, and its finances have been nearly crippled by the enormous military spending. In recent years, the military has been investing heavily in various projects in order to maintain its technological and equipment superiority, which has only exacerbated the situation.

Therefore, he intends to implement a policy of withdrawing troops from overseas and further reduce military spending.

Unexpectedly, just as I was dozing off, someone brought me a pillow.

The military made a series of blunders, repeatedly wasting huge sums of money only to end up with nothing. Subsequently, a series of scandals, including human experimentation and illegal imprisonment, were continuously exposed.

The Umbrella Corporation's near-annihilation of Raccoon City by Biohazard Crisis, the upheaval in Los Angeles triggered by the Skynet intelligent system, the terrorist attack perpetrated by Hammer Industries in New York...

These emerging problems have exposed the shortsightedness and corruption within the military.

But this also gave President Benford an excuse to reduce the military's power and cut its budget.

Therefore, upon receiving Mayor Warren's report that bypassed his direct superiors, he decided to seize upon the intelligence department's weaknesses and thoroughly investigate internal military issues.

Unexpectedly, Director Nick, on whom he had placed high hopes, made a mistake in handling the issue of mutants, leading to widespread resentment among minorities and people of color.

Now, the one-eyed man is preoccupied with his squabbles with the X-Men and can't even take care of himself. The battle between S.H.I.E.L.D.. and Hydra has only just begun.

Clearly, the intelligence agencies can no longer be relied upon, and now the only option is for the administrative departments to take matters into their own hands and confront those hawkish military figures while the military is weakening.

At this point, the military, which was suffering repeated defeats, could only stubbornly hold on by using the excuse of improving [Skynet].

Otherwise, none of their investments in recent years will be worth mentioning, which would inevitably lead to a precipitous drop in the military's credibility.

The Catalina Island incident once again proved the uncontrollability of Skynet, which was the final straw that broke the camel's back for Skynet Project.

So, it's time to go to Los Angeles. This speech about life and human rights will surely be well received by the survivors on Catalina Island.

This move is perfect; it allows him to put on a show, win public support, secure his succession, define the Skynet Project, and take the opportunity to promote the policy of withdrawing troops from overseas.

Military means are often just an extension of political demands; he did not want to be dominated by the military while in office.

Moreover, judging from the military's increasingly arrogant behavior in recent years, they have indeed overstepped their bounds.

Besides, according to that person, the world has changed, with natural disasters and catastrophes constantly occurring. The only Pathway Human Civilization to continue to survive is to quell conflicts as soon as possible and preserve existing strength.

President Benford pondered for a long time, leaned back in his chair, quietly lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then took out a blue badge with a horizontal "S" in the center from his glasses case, examining it closely.

[Anti-Entropy] Ah, there, almost all of humanity's greatest minds are gathered, and they also forged America's current glory.

May you truly rebuild order amidst this catastrophe for civilization, and make America immortal once again!

President Benford then put the badge back into his glasses case and rang the office bell on his desk.

A capable woman with loose, dark brown hair cascading over her shoulders, dressed in a tailored suit, entered the office and quietly awaited her orders.

Helena Harper, his most trusted personal bodyguard, was indispensable on his journey to dismantle the military's backbone.

After all, even within the administrative departments, he had vaguely heard voices opposing this move, not to mention the military, whose interests were being threatened.

"Helena, I'm giving a speech at the University of Southern California the day after tomorrow, and I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my condolences to the survivors of Catalina Island..."

"I'll leave the task of maintaining order at the scene to you..."

Faced with her boss's gentle instruction, Helena nodded calmly, but unconsciously bit her lower lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"By the way, I heard you have a younger sister who's in college, right? After this job is finished, I'll give you a few days off so you can spend more time with her..."

After giving his instructions, President Benford adjusted his glasses, flipped through the documents on the table, and casually chatted with his subordinates about life.

"Yes, thank you for your generosity. If there's nothing else, I'll go arrange tomorrow's tasks..."

Upon hearing this, Helena's conflicted expression gradually calmed down. She nodded slightly, and with a wave from President Benford, turned and left.

"Helena, Mr. Simmons, National Security Council Advisor, there's a document you need to deliver..."

Some of the female bodyguards, seemingly lost in thought, strolled into the corridor, only to be stopped by an office worker who urgently entrusted her with a task.

Simmons... Helena frowned, grabbed the file, and turned to leave.

"Damn it, where's my sister?!"

Outside the White House, seeing that no one was around, the female bodyguard grabbed Simmons by the collar and questioned him in a cold voice.

"Relax... relax. Your sister is safe now, and all you have to do is help me with one thing to see your family. Isn't that a good deal?"

The national security advisor, with a sinister expression, smiled confidently and whispered his demands into Helena's ear.

"Don't even think about it! You're asking me to betray my country!"

Helena was startled when she heard the other party's conditions and immediately pushed the man away.

"No! I'm saving America!"
