Love Hotel

"Miss Wyte, did you come here alone?" Chief Commander Roland met Lena on the way and questioned her when she saw that she was alone.

Although she was a Rank S Awakener, it was a big risk to let her come here alone knowing the current circumstances.

"Kimetsu-kun and Miss Kendra are with me. Kimetsu-kun was feeling a bit unwell so I went here first. Miss Kendra on the other hand is checking our car first."

"Oh, is that so? Come on, let's talk inside."

The Chief Commander was already familiar with Kendra. She was one of the trusted personnel of the SGS manager. However, he wasn't familiar with the name Kimetsu.

Dante immediately followed when he felt better.

He overheard a conversation between Lena and Chief Commander Roland. They were talking about the missing Awakeners.

"Kimetsu-kun, are you feeling okay?"

Lena asked when she noticed his arrival.

"Yes," Dante gave her a slight nod. Their conversation stopped a bit when he entered. "Sorry, for interrupting your conversation," he regretted interrupting them.

"We've just started talking about it. Come join us."

"Alright."

When Chief Commander Roland saw Dante he immediately remembered him.

"Uh, you're the young man at the appraisal ceremony. The one with a supercomputer like Kyzer, right?"

He didn't think the Chief Commander remembered him.

"Yes, that's me."

"I see." The Chief Commader's response was short and he immediately turned his attention back to what they had discussed.

Dante approached them and looked at the map lying on the table. He saw that the Chief Commander circled a part of the map.

"My men noticed something in this area..."

The part he circled was familiar to Dante. "Isn't that place the Rizal East District?"

"Are you familiar with this place, Kimetsu-kun?"

He remembered that Lena did not grow up in this country. They just moved here to New PH when he started high school.

By the way,

Why is this country called New PH? According to the history book, in the old days, New PH used to be called the Philippines. But due to the natural disasters that the country suffered, its geography gradually changed.

It was followed by a power struggle by the former rulers of the country. The chaos turned into a terrible civil war that later grew and became involved in the world war.

Since the Philippines had poor military equipment back in the day, they easily lost the war. When the country's economy sank, the West intervened and occupied it. In American hands, it was made into New PH.

America's occupation of the Philippines was strongly condemned by the leaders of the East. According to them, "The East is only for the East. Westerners should not interfere." Later, it was sold to China. Which was later sold by China to Japan.

It was in the hands of the Japanese Prime Minister for several years before the leadership was returned to a legitimate Pinoy leader. But at that point, the people in New PH are more cross-blooded than legitimate ones.

Anyway, that was only part of the New PH history and it was irrelevant to what Lena asked him.

He opened his mouth and said, "Y-Yes. I-I'm a little familiar with that place."

His face when he said that was slightly red.

"Kimetsu-kun, why is your face turning red? Do you have a fever?"

He didn't think Lena would notice it.

"Uh, no no. I'm fine, honestly."

"So why is your face becoming red?"

"Uh, eh…"

He regretted that he said he was familiar with the place.

Suddenly, they heard the Chief Commander's words.

"In this area can be found the most famous Night Quarters."

"N-N-Night Quarters? Isn't that where the most l-l-love hotels are?" Lena stuttered. She immediately looked at Dante with a disturbing look who for some reason avoided meeting her gaze.

"Kimetsu-kun, don't tell me..." he could see the shocked expression on Lena's face.

Even without saying it, he understood what she was going to say. "No, I'm not!" Dante quickly denied.

He didn't want Lena to think he was that kind of person. In truth, he was prepared to become a 'sage' in the future if he wouldn't end up with Lena, or if his feelings wouldn't change.

Why was Lena asking him about this? Is she curious? Or maybe because she hates that kind of person? Very worrying.

"Actually, I passed that place one time," he said to clear his name.

Lena stared at him for a second before she said, "I see."

"By the way, Chief, what is there in that place?" Dante asked to deliberately bring Lena's attention back to the main topic.

"In this area, my men noticed a gathering of a huge number of zombies."

Hearing that, Lena said, "Isn't it normal for that to happen? I'm sure many people go to that place, right Kimetsu-kun?"

"Uhm, I don't know. My knowledge of that wasn't so great, I swear."

Dante didn't dare to agree and disagree. It's better to feign ignorance in this situation.

The chief shook his head. "The first wave of zombies happened in the morning. At that point, there weren't many people in this place because this place was only alive at night."

"Is that so?"

Lena looked embarrassed for her mistake. "Then how come there's a lot of zombies in that place?"

Chief Commander Roland touched his chin. "That's what we are wondering too."

"Could it be that a Mutant Zombie is behind this?"

"The possibility is there. Sorry, Miss Wyte. I can't risk my men to investigate the area because of the possibility of a Mutant Zombie's presence in that area."

"I understood."

If a Mutant Zombie was really behind the gathering of zombies in that area, then it was very dangerous for the soldiers to approach that place. Most of the soldiers were just ordinary people. Against a Mutant Zombie, they were nothing but fodders.

They all understood that only Mutant Zombies had the ability to control the ordinary ones.

Lena suddenly looked at Dante.

"Kimetsu-kun, please tell big sis that I'm going to investigate that place. I have a feeling that this is connected to the missing Awakeners."

"Alright, but let's wait what the manager says."

Staring at him, Lena fell silent for a couple of seconds before she opened her mouth.

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

Dante sighed in relief internally. If she insisted on going alone, it would be difficult for him to stop her.

He immediately sent a message to Manager Sai.
