Shiina's Resolve

[Ding~ Killed 1 Zombie, gained 1 point of Insight.]

After fighting his way back to the school building, Ye Yunchuan had finally figured out the nature of his S-rank Slaughter Plunder talent.

The attributes really were random. It didn't mess around in the slightest.

Of course, the most important thing was the attribute panel.

[Name: Ye Yunchuan (Demi-human Bloodline)

Appearance: 6

Spirit: 10

Insight: 5

Strength: 7

Agility: 6

Constitution: 6

Appearance: 6

Luck: 4 (Husband-Boosting Strike: A bonus from Karuizawa Kei. As her partner, you have a certain chance of getting incredibly lucky.)]

With seven attributes in all, getting the one he wanted really came down to luck.

But, well, with only 4 points in Luck, his luck really wasn't that great.

"Come to think of it, was I really able to draw an S-rank reward because of Kei?"

Ye Yunchuan paused.

He hadn't expected a partner to have this kind of ability.

Then again, he'd only just gotten the system and hadn't used it to check anyone else's attribute panel yet.

At the thought, he couldn't help checking the Shiina Hiyori beside him.

[Name: Shiina Hiyori

Appearance: 8

Spirit: 7

Insight: 5

Strength: 4

Agility: 4

Constitution: 4

Luck: 6

Trait: Virtuous Wife and Good Mother (If you win her over, your career will flourish.)]

Shiina really was Class C's belle. Her Appearance score of 8 was proof enough.

Not only was she beautiful, her trait was also incredibly useful.

"Though, does a career even exist after the apocalypse?"

Ye Yunchuan couldn't help making a quip.

"Um, Yunchuan, there's something I'm not sure I should ask."

Ye Yunchuan only had his hands in his pockets, yet the Zombies approaching them were being blown apart by an invisible force.

After holding back for so long, Shiina Hiyori could no longer suppress her curiosity.

"You want to know how I'm killing them, right?"

Ye Yunchuan smiled faintly.

Ordinary people usually couldn't see Black Ghost.

So, from Shiina Hiyori's perspective, the Zombies were getting their heads blown off for no reason, even though Ye Yunchuan wasn't doing anything.

"Yes, I'm really curious!"

Shiina Hiyori had practically pressed her face up against Ye Yunchuan's.

Her irrepressible curiosity made her crystal-clear violet eyes sparkle.

It seemed like one glance was enough to get lost in them.

"I can satisfy your curiosity, but I want a reward!"

Ye Yunchuan pointed at his lips.

"Eh? I didn't think you were this naughty, Yunchuan, but I'm not the kind of frivolous girl you think I am!"

A faint blush appeared on Shiina Hiyori's delicate face.

That was what she said, but her body was honest. Blushing, she leaned toward Ye Yunchuan and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

"Well, that reward wasn't much, but I'll satisfy your curiosity anyway."

Considering that she'd be one of his people in the future,

Ye Yunchuan decided to let her see one of his trump cards.

With that, Ye Yunchuan immediately directed Black Ghost to walk toward Shiina Hiyori.

"Is that... a black shadow? Is that what killed those Zombies just now?"

Shiina Hiyori took several steps back.

She could feel a powerful killing intent coming from the shadow.

That was right.

Killing intent!

Ordinary people really couldn't see Black Ghost. They could only see it when it radiated killing intent.

"Black Ghost. It's something like my double. I call it Xiao Hei."

As he spoke, Ye Yunchuan directed Xiao Hei to swing a fist at Shiina Hiyori.

"Huh?"

Shiina Hiyori's pupils contracted.

But Ye Yunchuan's punch wasn't aimed at her. It went straight through a Zombie behind her that had been trying to sneak up on her.

[Ding~ Killed 1 Zombie, gained 1 point of Strength.]

This time, he'd gotten lucky. It was the Strength he wanted.

"Is that your superpower, Yunchuan? In apocalyptic stories, the protagonist always awakens a superpower. Is that what happened to you?"

Shiina Hiyori had quite the imagination. Even Ye Yunchuan was a little impressed by her ideas.

"Impressive, Hiyori. But you're only half right. My real ability is Multi-child Multi-blessing. As long as I get a girl who meets the requirements pregnant, I can gain a new ability."

Ye Yunchuan said it half jokingly.

He'd said that because he figured he might not be able to keep his real cheat a secret forever.

Any woman around him who wasn't stupid would be able to guess.

Rather than hiding it and making up all sorts of excuses to sleep with them,

it was better to take the initiative.

He could use this to test Shiina Hiyori's reaction, too.

"Eh?! There's an ability like that?"

Shiina Hiyori was stunned.

She'd read plenty of novels and could imagine all sorts of strange cheats and superpowers.

But Multi-child Multi-blessing was beyond anything she'd imagined.

"So you wanted me to have your child because you're trying to get a new ability?"

Shiina Hiyori wasn't stupid. She quickly understood what Ye Yunchuan had meant earlier.

"That's right. You know what things are like now. The apocalypse is here, and if I don't get stronger quickly, I can't guarantee I'll be able to protect you!"

Ye Yunchuan knew he was guilt-tripping her.

But he wasn't some idiot protagonist from a novel.

Even in a situation like this, wasting time on some emotional courtship strategy was ridiculous.

Only a complete moron would be that stupid.

He wanted to be quick, decisive, and ruthless.

As for dating, whoever wanted to could go ahead. He wasn't going to.

"This..." Shiina Hiyori had clearly realized that Ye Yunchuan was testing her and trying to guilt-trip her at the same time.

That made her a little angry, so she puffed out her cheeks and said coyly,

"Do you think I'm that kind of fussy girl, Yunchuan? If having your child really can make you stronger, I won't refuse."

Shiina's Resolve

Shiina Hiyori wasn't stupid.

Knowing what Ye Yunchuan could do, it would've been unreasonable of her to act all fussy.

Especially since Ye Yunchuan had saved her life.

Besides, she didn't think she was in any position to refuse.

Given Ye Yunchuan's abilities,

there'd be plenty of women willing to bear him children in this apocalypse if she didn't.

It was better to join his harem now.

She was only so angry because she felt Ye Yunchuan had underestimated her.

If he'd simply told her the truth, Shiina Hiyori would've had his children without hesitation, even without the guilt trip.

"Sorry. I underestimated you!"

Ye Yunchuan hurriedly apologized to Shiina Hiyori.

"No, no. I'm afraid I'm the one who underestimated you, Yunchuan."

Shiina Hiyori shook her head.

At that moment, she suddenly realized something.

Ye Yunchuan had been giving her an out.

Without what he'd said, she probably wouldn't have been quite willing to have his child so soon.

She had to admit, Ye Yunchuan had completely outmaneuvered her.

"I'm not as clever as you think."

Ye Yunchuan shook his head.

The truth was, he'd only been able to outmaneuver Shiina Hiyori because he understood her personality.

That trick definitely wouldn't work on Horikita Suzune.

"Wait, Yunchuan, you've already gained an ability. Does that mean you already have a girlfriend?"

Shiina Hiyori, walking beside him, seemed to have just thought of something. Her face immediately darkened.

"Yeah. It took a lot of effort to get her pregnant, but calling her my girlfriend would be a bit of a stretch."

Ye Yunchuan shook his head.

"So you don't plan on taking responsibility, then?"
