In the middle of a silent night, Kyoko regarded me as if I was her only bastion of hope. We are from different worlds... I'm someone used to the cruelness of this world; while she's a civilian. She's someone that has had to work hard for the things she desired... but surely everything is within a safe spectrum... possibly never being afraid of her life ending all of the sudden by a shot to the head or a stab to the ribs.

There was never a moment in which she didn't have food on the table. The hardest difficulty she likely had to face was not showing her parents full-marks on a test or not having the best answers for a job interview.

'What a contrast...' I couldn't help but smirk, getting her attention.

"I don't trust you, Kyoko... and you shouldn't be so confident in anyone or you're going to pay for it soon" there weren't many words I could convey to her. The world has changed forever and adaptation is the best route. She is already here... giving the best step to adaptation, to survival.

Her gaze contorted a few times at my words.

"Why wouldn't you trust me? I'm a teacher..."

I looked at her as if I was sighting a rare breed of monkey; is that supposed to be some sort of reassuring factor? wasn't Shido a teacher too?

"Anyway, Kyoko... you should go back to sleep, it won't be easy tomorrow," I told her, taking a cup and filling it with water from the sink; drinking it.

"What are we going to do?" The teacher asked me, not heeding my words.

"Keep moving forward... we can't stop here, I have a place I must be at and I need to drop you guys somewhere safe along the way, you're lucky that Saya's parents have such a place, now you should go to sleep"

Kyoko's eyebrows twitched for a moment before she approached me again, with all due intent of ignoring my words.

"Thank you for saving me back then, Brand-kun..."

I grit my teeth at her stubbornness and unavoidably shot a glance at her shirt; she was still a little moist from the bath wearing this pyjama without any bra behind, although I couldn't see much beyond as the pyjama was brown, the outline and the shape were clear.

They're massive.

"No need to thank me, you should-".

"No... I seriously want you to know how much I appreciate it" She gave one step forward again, so close to me she was almost touching me. Kyoko noticed my gaze on her chest and blushed slightly before she started unbuttoning her pyjama.

I rubbed my temples, she won't listen to me.

The math teacher opened the blouse of her pyjama and I saw her naked breasts, still a little moist and wiggly... she had opened herself completely to me, innocently avoiding my gaze as if I was at fault for the gorgeous display in front of me.

I had my answer then, they're smaller than Shizuka's but not by much.

"D-Don't look so much... it is embarrassing".

"..."

You show me your naked breasts and you expect me to look away?!

I merely remained silent until she looked back at me with a sort of angry pout, "Say something..."

"What do you expect me to say?"

"S-Say that they're big or... beautiful... I don't know..."

I sighed and leaned out of the countertop, walking towards her... Kyoko backed off, almost tripping and falling against the closed Kitchen door. I pinned her against it.

"Let me take a guess, Kyoko... you're worried that you're the most useless one of the group".

She shivered. I was being honest... Hirano would be the most useless if it wasn't for his marksmanship that places it almost at the top of the group... admittedly he has a great aim and insight for guns, second only to Lucy.

This means that in the lowest spot on the ladder is she, Shizuka and Higuchi-senpai.

Shizuka is not the same weakling she used to be, although the training didn't transform her into a superwoman, it did increase her stamina greatly, she also knows how to shoot a gun... then there are Kyoko and Higuchi-senpai.

The latter had a good build but he doesn't know how to even kill a fly... then again, that's something that can change quickly with some training.

And then there is Kyoko... she's in her thirties, a civilian with a lean body, she has stamina but when it comes to fighting back, she has nothing... I could give her a gun and teach her how to use it somehow, but she'd need training... that's if she's even willing to take a gun with how conservative Japanese people are sometimes.

She's useless, everyone knows it and she knows it.

Her quivering eyes confirmed it to me... what she's the most afraid of is of me, the leader of the group, considering her useless... she may be weak, but she's not stupid.

Bureaucracy is merely the more modern form of an antique food chain... just like cities are mere concrete jungles. As a working adult, she must have a lot of experience with the former.

"You're worried that at some point we will throw you away for the sake of survival, that I'll decide to discard you for being a deadweight".

"..." The more I spoke the more she shook, I placed my hand on her chest, not her breasts, the middle of her chest... and her heart was palpitating madly.

"To stop me from doing so, you want to compel me into having sex with you and form human bonds... you probably didn't know how to approach it, but when you heard the moans coming from the bathroom, you realised it would be easy for you to seduce me since I am a 'perverted' and 'horny' bastard".

"I-I didn't think it would be easy!"

She covered her mouth as I smirked at her revelation, well... she didn't think it would be easy, but that's precisely what she intended to do.

"After I had sex with you then I'd have it more difficult to discard you when the time comes, you thought I'd instead discard one of the boys".

"I didn't think that far either... I-I hoped you wouldn't discard anyone and we would all reach a safe place together" She grasped my wrist and regarded me valiantly.

"But you did think about seducing me~"

"..."

Kyoko went silent, her intentions as clear as the water.

"How do you know...?"

"There is a difference between being a bastard by mistake... and being a bastard deliberately, Kyoko... I know exactly what people think of me, and how they will act around me... sometimes being a bastard makes life easier than being a saint".
