Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Supermarket Encounter

"I'm so hungry! Let's find a place to get some food!" Shizuka rubbed her stomach, looking pitiful.

"I remember there's a supermarket over there..." Saya pointed to the street on the right.

"Then let's grab some food first!" Although Goku had eaten a Senzu Bean before traveling, allowing him to go without food or water for days, the girls clearly couldn't do the same.

"Look, it's that supermarket!" Saya pointed excitedly at a store ahead.

"I'll go in and check first!" Goku stepped inside, swiftly eliminating the zombies lurking inside. Then, he called out from the entrance, "You can come in now!"

The five girls entered and started searching for their favorite foods.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the store.

Six men with different hair colors, tattoos covering their bodies, arrived at the supermarket entrance.

"Boss! There's so much food here! We finally don't have to starve anymore!"

"Ah~~ Boss! Look! There's not just food here, but also some fine women!"

"Women are the best thing in this world!"

The six thugs approached Goku and the girls, completely ignoring Goku while openly ogling the women.

"Damn! They're freaking gorgeous! Especially that one... Holy shit, I can't take it anymore!"

The leader of the gang, playing with a police pistol in his hand, sneered at Goku.

"Kid, you sure are lucky, huh? Five beauties all to yourself? Think you can handle them all? Why don't you share with us, huh?"

All five girls frowned in disgust, and Saya, in particular, looked annoyed.

"Goku, these guys are so gross. Just punch them into the sky already!"

"Punch me? Did I hear that right? I'd like to see you try!"

With a loud bang, the gang leader suddenly pulled the trigger, aiming directly at Goku.

"Ah! Goku, are you okay?!" The girls gasped in shock, not expecting the thug to shoot without warning.

"Shooting at me? That's a deadly mistake," Goku said calmly as he opened his palm, letting a bullet fall to the ground.

"T-This... this is impossible..." The six thugs were dumbfounded by the sight.

"Catching a bullet with his bare hands... So... so cool..."

Rei's eyes sparkled with admiration, while Saeko murmured, "This guy... he's not human anymore..."

"Shit! I don't believe it! Kill him!" The gang leader shouted.

The six thugs emptied their pistols, firing rapidly at Goku until their weapons jammed and ran out of bullets.

Goku's hands moved like afterimages, catching every single bullet effortlessly.

"Holy crap! This guy's a freaking monster! Run!" One of the thugs finally cracked and turned to flee.

Goku flicked his finger, sending a bullet flying straight into the man's back. He collapsed instantly, lifeless.

"Please don't kill us! We didn't know who we were messing with! Please, have mercy!" The remaining five thugs immediately dropped to their knees, begging for their lives.

Goku had no patience for scum like them. He threw a single punch, sending a massive shockwave that blasted all five of them into the air, their bodies landing lifelessly on the pavement dozens of meters away.

"Ara~ Those guys were really unlucky," Shizuka mumbled as she took a bite of her sausage.

"I don't know why, but I feel the same way," Rei nodded in agreement.

"Ugh! I just cleaned this place, and now you've made a mess again! How are we supposed to eat here?!" Saya glared at Goku in frustration.

"Then let's eat somewhere else. It's getting late, we should find a place to stay. I promise I'll make it up to you all later," Goku said, glancing at the nearby corpses with slight embarrassment, quickly changing the topic.

"If you're looking for a place to rest, there's an apartment we can use nearby," Shizuka said excitedly.

"Oh? Your boyfriend's place?" Saya smirked, crossing her arms and looking at Shizuka teasingly.

Shizuka's face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands frantically. "N-No! It's my female friend's place! She's always busy working at the airport, so she gave me the keys and asked me to air it out sometimes."

Goku nodded in understanding. "Ohh, so that's how it is... I see, Shizuka likes girls!"

"Eh? Ehhh?!" The other girls turned to Shizuka in shock.

"I-I-I d-don't!" Shizuka's face burned bright red as she started sweating in panic.

"Idiot! You shouldn't say such rude things to a girl!" Rei smacked Goku on the head.

"Is the area around the apartment safe?" Saeko asked thoughtfully.

Shizuka nodded. "Yes, it's a standalone rental by the river. There's a convenience store nearby, and oh! My friend also left her car there! It's huge, like a tank!"

"Great, then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Goku grinned, already eager. He couldn't help but recall a certain bath scene from the original story. Does this mean… I might finally say goodbye to my virgin self?

After arriving at the apartment, the girls sternly warned Goku to behave before heading into the bathroom together.

Listening to their laughter and splashing from the bath, Goku felt an itch in his heart. He really wanted to take a peek, but in the end, he shook his head and gave up.

"I'm a man of integrity. I can't do something like that!" he muttered as he pulled open a safe, revealing an impressive collection of rare firearms.

Thirty minutes later, Goku was still sitting on the floor, fiddling with the guns when a soft fragrance wafted over him.

A sweet, sultry voice whispered in his ear.

"Goku-kun~"

Before he could react, warm lips pressed against his own.

"Uh… am I being seduced?" Goku thought, his heart racing with excitement.

Goku glanced around and, seeing that no one else was around, immediately scooped Shizuka into his arms and carried her into a nearby room, locking the door behind them…

An hour later, he stepped out, looking refreshed. As he walked, he hummed a cheerful tune, clearly in a great mood.

The moment he entered the living room, a delicious aroma drifted into his nose, making his eyes light up. He followed the scent toward the kitchen…

Standing at the doorway, Goku saw Saeko preparing dinner. Dressed in a chef's outfit, she looked both elegant and irresistibly seductive.

"Saeko, you look absolutely stunning in that outfit," Goku remarked sincerely as he approached her from behind, unable to resist wrapping his arms around her.

"W-What are you doing?! Let me go! I'm cooking right now! Dinner will be ready soon, so just wait in the living room," Saeko's face flushed, her voice slightly flustered.

Goku, however, tightened his embrace slightly and whispered, "Saeko, after confirming your family's safety, I want you to come back to my world with me."

Saeko stiffened, her gaze wavering. "Didn't we all already agree to go with you?"

Goku shook his head. "It's different. I'm asking you to come with me… as my woman. To be honest, from the moment I first saw you, I was drawn to you."

Saeko fell silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh. "I appreciate your words, but… I don't think I'm worthy of your love." With that, she gently broke free from his embrace.

Goku looked at her seriously. "It seems like you're struggling with the darkness inside you, aren't you?"

Saeko's body trembled, her eyes widening in disbelief. "H-How… how do you know that?"

Ignoring her question, Goku continued, "You're afraid, aren't you? Because killing brings you intense pleasure. That's why you've always believed you don't deserve to love or be loved…"

"I… you… why?" Saeko's voice trembled as she hugged herself, sitting on the floor, overwhelmed by fear and helplessness. "How do you know so much about me? And if you already know… do you really think someone like me deserves love?"

Goku knelt down and pulled her into a gentle embrace. "You already know my identity, don't you? I possess a 'Dimensional Travel System.' To use it, I need energy points. And the only way to obtain them… is by killing. So, Saeko, you're exactly the kind of person I need. In fact, we're a perfect match."

Saeko stared at him blankly, her voice trembling. "You… need me? You can really accept someone like me?"

"Of course," Goku reassured her. "So from now on, don't suppress your desires. Kill as much as you want. Whatever sins we commit, we'll bear them together."

Tears welled up in Saeko's eyes as the burden she had carried for years suddenly felt lighter. Moved by his words, she threw her arms around Goku and kissed him passionately…

Meanwhile, outside, the world had turned into a living hell. Countless zombies roamed the streets, feasting on any unfortunate souls they encountered.

A middle-aged man, holding a wrench in one hand, led a little girl with an innocent, adorable face toward a private residence.

"Daddy, where's Mommy?" the girl asked curiously.

The man crouched down, placing his hands on her small shoulders with a gentle smile.

"You'll see Mommy soon… come, this way."
