My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

P.S.: Thanks to V-Stardust for the panties.

Chapter 25 Eavesdropping and such

Night had fallen, and it was already midnight. Shizuka Hiratsuka, the former homeroom teacher of Chiba Municipal Soubu High School and now the adjutant of the Chiba City Survivor Base, was still wide awake and unable to fall asleep.

The events of the day lingered in her mind. Whenever she closed her eyes, the image of Li Wei pinching her cheek would appear, followed by an unbearable heat in her body and a mind full of wild thoughts.

The places the boy touched felt like they had been burned, so hot they made her blood boil.

"I can't sleep at all."

After a period of intense muscle tension, everything returned to normal, but the sleepiness that should have been there was none; I was still incredibly excited.

Honestly, I've known Touma since I was a kid. I've even taken baths with him and helped him get clean and fragrant. We've had more intimate physical contact before, but I've never longed for him like I do today.

Perhaps for her, being touched today had a greater impact on Hiratsuka Shizuka than the end of the world.

Before this, she had considered playing the reverse Genji project, or the beautiful girl H project, but Mrs. Touma was very kind to her, and the boy had never expressed any interest. For the sake of her teacher's certificate, coupled with the excellent education she had received since childhood, she buried this idea deep in her heart.

Since what happened today, Hiratsuka Shizuka has never been at peace.

Even when he managed to fall asleep, his dreams were filled with him wearing a wedding dress, walking hand-in-hand with Li Wei through the envious and jealous eyes of other girls, and finally becoming husband and wife. Then, on their wedding night, the young man gently removed his pure white wedding dress, and then…

Then, because her brain lacked the memory of what was supposed to happen next, she was unable to fill in the blanks in her mind, which caused her to wake up.

"I [beep] [beep] [beep] Ah! Don't wake up in such an important place, you bastard!" The older, desperate-to-marry female teacher went completely mad.

Thinking about it carefully, now that the world is ending, policies prohibiting teacher-student relationships are no longer being enforced. Even if something were to happen, no one would say anything, right?

Chiba City, the Japanese archipelago, and even the whole world have fallen. The laws, regulations, restrictions, and even moral constraints of the civilized world have become nothing but a thin veil, completely unimportant under the threat of survival.

Thinking about it again, I'm only eleven years older than that brat, which is totally acceptable, hahaha...

Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who couldn't fall asleep no matter what, got out of bed and decided to go to the toilet to clean herself.

"You can do it, Hiratsuka Shizuka. He's just a teenage boy with a mind full of ideas that are even more decadent than those of a harem. With your figure and looks, it's a piece of cake for you, isn't it?" Hiratsuka Shizuka made up her mind and kept encouraging herself in front of the mirror.

Doing this seems a bit too hurtful to Kazusa... but love is war, after all.

The older female teacher, comforting herself with this thought and making excuses for her next move of driving away underage boys, turned off the tap and prepared to return to her room to continue her wild fantasies.

It was at this moment that she, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood and had sharp hearing and eyesight, seemed to hear some strange sound.

It was the sound of limbs colliding, along with heavy breathing, that reminded her of her martial arts training.

"What happened?"

Sensing something was wrong, Hiratsuka Shizuka became extremely cautious, pulling out brass knuckles from her pocket, ready to obliterate any zombies that might sneak in.

Then, following the sound, the older, marriage-hungry female teacher crouched on the wall and peered through the crack in the door at Li Wei's room, where she saw what was happening inside.

"what?"

I always felt during class that you two weren't just siblings, and I never imagined you actually broke through that barrier.

Even though the police won't arrest people no matter what happens in the apocalypse, isn't this a little too fast?

Could it be that this guy really plans to turn all the girls he brings along into his harem, just like the current rumors suggest?

I don't have any objections myself, but Mrs. Yukinoshita and Mrs. Touma are here too!

Her brain told her that she should pretend nothing had happened, turn around, and go back to her room to sleep. But her feet were rooted to the spot, and she couldn't lift them. Her eyes were fixed on the boy, watching him with a mixture of pleasure and curiosity, anger and shyness, and a sense of loss mixed with a "Is this even possible?" look.

That's pretty much it. After Kazusa barely managed to cooperate for half an hour and almost cried, and Li Wei thought that continuing to replenish mana might damage her body, Hiratsuka Shizuka had already entered her post-coital period.

It was then that she realized that there was another girl beside her at some point—her cousin, Saeko Busujima.

"...!!!" The middle-aged, marriage-obsessed female teacher nearly fainted: "Saeko, when did you get here?"

"When you sighed with disappointment, 'More than a foot, Kazusa is really having a hard time... Can I do it?', you've been standing there for almost fifteen minutes now?" the purple-haired, big-breasted killer replied quite sincerely.

"Doesn't that mean you've been watching it almost constantly?"

Upon hearing her cousin's answer, Hiratsuka Shizuka even felt an urge to kill her to silence her.

But before that...

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it anymore."

In the room, Kazusa looked apologetically at her younger brother and lover; their superhuman bodies were still too much for an ordinary girl.

From the very beginning, she completely lost control of her mind, feeling as if she were flying through the air the whole time, until her body could no longer take it and she cried, at which point it all stopped.

Li Wei seemed completely unaffected, clearly indicating that this little bit of fighting was just a drop in the ocean.

Girls' magic is indeed the best choice for replenishing mana, but in this world where magic is scarce, it takes them a long time to replenish their magic supply.

The two people outside the door who witnessed this scene sighed at the same time.

"It's over." Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed a little unsatisfied, feeling empty inside. She didn't know if it was because the exciting content had ended or because she had discovered something she shouldn't have seen.

“Yes, it’s over.” Saeko nodded and handed her clothes and underwear to her cousin: “Could you hold these for me, sister?”

"Huh?" Taking it instinctively, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at her cousin with a puzzled expression: "Why did you take your clothes off?"

"Of course I'll join!"

Amidst the other person's surprised gaze, the purple-haired, big-breasted killer resolutely opened the door and walked straight in.

Chapter 26: In the new world line, Hiratsuka Shizuka is no longer a loser.

When Saeko Busujima walked into the room very frankly, Kazusa was initially startled.

Kazusa was, after all, a shy girl, and she felt a little embarrassed to be seen by a woman who had always had an ambiguous relationship with her younger brother.

"It's Saeko."

From the very beginning, Li Wei felt as if someone was watching him from the doorway. Normally, he would have stopped the loving interaction, but given his current lack of magic, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Those who appear in this room are all girls with whom he has complicated relationships, so it doesn't matter if they see him.

He even developed a feeling that he didn't care if he was being watched.

When the purple-haired, big-chested killer appeared in front of him, he greeted him with obvious familiarity.

He knew Saeko's body very well; it was arguably the body he knew best besides Ryougi. He had massaged her since she was a child, and he knew her bones, muscles, and skin inside and out.

“It’s me, Avi.” Feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, Saeko Busujima turned her head and remembered her purpose, her eyes regaining their firmness: “I just got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, so I was wearing a little less clothing.”

It's not that she's missing a little bit; she's only wearing pantyhose.

Even if it were the end of the world, girls would never run out of pantyhose, which is really amazing.

Li Wei clearly didn't intend to dwell on this any longer, so he reached out and took her hand, pulling her into his arms.

Beneath her warm, soft, and fair skin were powerfully defined muscles. Her long purple hair was casually draped behind her head, and her eyes were full of allure. She exuded an amazing and seductive charm. The fragrance of gardenias filled the small bedroom, and her breath was mesmerizing.

“Saeko, you are deceiving your lord, that’s a capital offense,” Li Wei said, while holding Saeko tightly in his arms.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and they could feel each other's breath and heartbeat.

Even though she hadn't killed anyone and wasn't in a combat situation, Saeko Busujima still felt her body burning. Completely different from the feeling when she was attacking people, she now wanted to be stabbed, and the overwhelming sensation made her want to groan.

It's not just men who have romantic fantasies about women; conversely, girls often have even more fantasies about men they like.

"I am willing to accept any punishment you may impose."

Saeko Busujima's voice became hoarse and alluring. Her two snow-white, straight legs shone like white jade in the moonlight. Her long, slender arms wrapped around Li Wei's neck, their chests pressed together. Li Wei could even hear Saeko's accelerated heartbeat. Her fair cheeks were flushed with a captivating blush, and her long purple hair was covered with damp droplets, like a gardenia that had just been rained on, exuding a fiery charm.

Li Wei, who knew her better than anyone else, knew very well that Saeko was currently thinking of [beep].

"Then be my woman."

With that, the boy gently laid her down on the bed and began the mana replenishment he had just been enjoying.

I also confirmed one thing: this is indeed Saeko's first time in this world.

……

Hiratsuka Shizuka continued to watch from outside the door, but this time her mood was even worse than before.

Or rather, she was completely out of sorts.

She seemed to have traveled through time and saw photos that Icarus had shown in the main world. Saeko, as the victor, was wearing a wedding dress and walking hand in hand with Levi into the hall of marriage. Friends and family around them were all blessing them with happiness.

She's over thirty and still unmarried, even a virgin, without a boyfriend. She can only force a smile while feeling heartbroken.

What's even more outrageous is that she ended up sitting at the elders' table with Mrs. Touma, losing even the right to be a bridesmaid.

An aura of a "loser" emanated from her. If Icarus were here, he would definitely conclude that "Ms. Hiratsuka is rapidly sliding into the 'loser' world line."

Ten minutes later: "What's going on? Saeko is shouting so loudly. Everyone else is trying to sleep. Aren't you afraid of disturbing them?"

Thirty minutes later: "Saeko is amazing. She was able to encompass the entire human body on her first try. Isn't that incredible?"

An hour later: "Not only can you connect to Princess Connect from bottom to top, but you can also connect from top to bottom? This is already up to my stomach, isn't it!?"

Two hours later: "Saeko is tired and Kazusa has recovered. You two worked together pretty well... This brat, be gentle!"

Two and a half hours later: "They're stacked together? Is this even possible...?"

Three hours later, everything finally returned to calm. The older female teacher, eager to get married, stayed until the very end and couldn't bear to leave.

When it was all over, she realized that she had been lying at the door as a spectator for so long, watching with great interest without moving an inch.

Having not moved her body for a long time, Hiratsuka Shizuka's legs felt as heavy as lead, making it impossible for her to use her usual agile movements. Instead, she twisted awkwardly when turning around, and then stepped on a puddle on the ground, causing her to lose her balance and almost fall.

It was at this moment that Li Wei, whose magic power had been replenished, pushed open the door and went out, intending to see who was so idle that they had been watching all night.

What's quite a coincidence is that when a person falls, they subconsciously reach out and try to grab onto anything they can to maintain their balance. As a result, she just happened to grab onto Li Wei's Noble Phantasm, causing her body to go limp and fall into the boy's arms.

"that……"

She wanted to explain something, after all, everyone was an adult... Oh, the world is ending, it's not illegal to take a look, right?

"Hiratsuka-nee, I didn't know you had this kind of hobby." Li Wei seemed to be meeting her for the first time.

It's said that single girls are often sloppy and read all sorts of unspeakable comics and novels just as much as boys, and now it seems there's no doubt about that.

"What's the big deal? What haven't I seen on you?" At this point, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a bit reckless: "Anyway, you haven't lost anything."

"Well said. It would be even better if you could let go of the Thorn Piercing Spear before that."

"Huh?" Only then did the older, marriage-hungry female teacher realize that she hadn't really let go all along.

"If you're interested in this, then find a boyfriend."

"Damn it, isn't it because we can't find it?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka was furious, as if she had brought up a sore spot.

"Then what do you think of me?"

"what?"

Before she could react, Li Wei didn't wait any longer and hoisted her onto his shoulder, carrying her into the bedroom.

Then, he closed the door.

PS: Hiratsuka Shizuka is a loser in all observable world lines, but this world line is newly opened, so it is not included in the scope!

Chapter 27 OL Secretary Yukinoshita

As expected of someone who practices martial arts, even in this world without supernatural powers, Xiao Jing could still make Li Wei, who was up early, feel a backache just by relying on her physical strength.

No wonder she can't find a boyfriend. Judging from the leg strength she displayed, an ordinary man would have been strangled in half.

In this timeline, Hiratsuka-nee was originally more vulnerable and only twenty-seven years old, still having some room to maneuver. If she really didn't get married by the time she turned thirty, who knew what she would do? Maybe she would sneak into her house at night and do something like reverse seduction. It would be better to detonate the landmine herself in advance.

After yesterday's mana replenishment, Li Wei felt that his integration with this world line had reached a new level, and he had gained all of his memories from this world line.

Could it be that this isn't actually an apocalyptic world line, but rather a world line where you conquer girls to achieve a harem ending, unlocking new progress and CGs each time you defeat one?

However, there were negative consequences to replenishing magic with three girls at the same time. At least when Yukinoshita appeared in front of him the next day with dark circles under her eyes, the way she looked at the boy made him feel inexplicably guilty.

In this timeline, she was her junior high school classmate.

"Have a little more self-respect, you idiot."

The scale was incomparable to the three girls from last night, but the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair and quite impressive legs covered her face and sighed, looking at her junior high school classmate with a strange gaze.

"Hey, you found out?"
