34 His tips and tricks to live

Sitting on his bed again, Isao faced everyone and talked to them about what this estate was planning to do and how they were going to live from now on. While he wasn't their leader anymore, he was still a good guy, and he didn't mind explaining so they could be free of worries. 

"Huh? Are we going to move?" 

Everyone was dumbfounded by Isao's words. 

"It's normal, isn't it? Do you think that you can stay at my house forever?" Saya suddenly said with a sigh. 

"What do you mean?!" 

Everyone looked at Saya with an unkind gaze, wondering whether she was displeased with their stay. Naturally, she realized that her words were rude and had caused a misunderstanding; fortunately, Isao helped her to explain, "Saya-senpai didn't mean that you couldn't stay, but our situation didn't allow us to do so." 

"Huh?" 

While Saya sighed in relief, she decided to shut up since she knew that due to her genius mind, she lacked emotional intelligence, but Isao was different since this guy was overflowing with it. 

Isao could notice Saya's thankful gaze, and he only gave her a gentle nod before he explained why they couldn't stay. 

The first reason was electricity and water. 

While they could enjoy those things, how long could they enjoy them? Unlimited energy didn't exist, and sooner or later, the source of energy used by the energy plantations would run out, especially those that relied on coal, oil, and gas. However, that didn't mean that they would be helpless since geothermal, hydropower, solar energy, and wind energy still existed.

So, their situation wasn't helpless. 

The only problem was that no one would take care of those plantations, especially with those "things" going on rampant, and the families of those workers might not be living with them. 

With such a state, how could anyone have the mind to take care of the energy plants?

So because of that, it was necessary for them to secure water and electricity. 

"So, we have to move..." 

Everyone was at a loss. 

"Yeah." Isao nodded, but then he said, "But you don't need to worry. What we will do is nothing but just move like how we move from the school to Saya-senpai's house." 

"...." 

Somehow, his words lightened their moods. After all, they could successfully move from the school to Saya's estate, so why couldn't they move from this estate to another place? 

"Then, is there something that we have to do or watch out for?" 

After all, Isao was reliable, so they hoped he could solve their doubts and lead them even if he was no longer their leader. 

"To be honest, there is no need for you to worry much about this problem. What you need to do is to be obedient and not cause a problem." 

"...um, that's it?" 

It was so easy that everyone was dumbfounded. 

"Yeah." Isao nodded. "You don't need to think that you will do something dangerous. Instead, our lives will be easier than others." 

"Huh? Why?" 

They felt confused since Isao made everything so easy in his mouth. 

"Because we are all minors and women," Isao said. 

"...." 

"Um? What is it that has something to do with our situation?" Shizuka asked with confusion. 

"Of course, it has a lot of things to do." Isao wasn't in a hurry to go to another world, so he had time to explain all of them. "In their eyes, we're an existence that is to be protected. The one who will be working hard will be an adult and a man. What we will need to do is not to cause them trouble, and our lives will be secured, right, Saya-senpai?" 

Saya was dazed by Isao's explanation, but she couldn't find a reason to argue with his answer since she knew he was correct. "He is right. If it's my parents, they will do everything to protect us." Frankly, she felt like this guy was a bastard for using her parents' kindness, but somehow, she didn't hate this part of him since it made her feel better, especially when she had always thought that her parents treated her as a child. She thought that this status was bad, and she was even disgusted by it since they thought that she couldn't do anything, yet she had never thought how useful this status was during this type of time. 

Just being a minor and a woman would give you many advantages. 

"Have you seen Titanic?" 

"We have." 

However, what did it have to do with our situation? 

"Didn't you remember that when the Titanic sunk, the one that was saved first was a group of women and children? Our situation was like that."

"....." 

Once again, his words opened a Pandora's box in their minds, as they didn't expect to live so easily due to their status. 

"To be honest, we're lucky to be able to live here," Isao added. 

"Why so?" 

"Because we're all Saya-senpai's acquaintances." 

While they were confused by his answer, they didn't refute him since they knew that he was going to explain his reason. 

"On the outside, there might be a similar camp like this, but we don't know them, and once more, you are all beautiful." 

They blushed at his praise, but Miku raised her hand and asked, "Is there a problem with being beautiful?" 

'Oh, right!' 

Only Saya, Rei, Saeko, Kyoko, and Shizuka remembered Isao's previous reminders. 

Still, Rei looked at herself and felt a little more complex since she was the one who jumped into Isao, but since the two of them enjoyed it, it was fine, right?

"Of course." Isao nodded and said solemnly, "You might get raped." 

"...." Everyone. 

"Those "things" might be dangerous, but other humans are similarly dangerous, especially men, so be careful, don't show much skin, and try to dress conservatively since if you are raped, a police won't help you." 

"Wo-Won't you stop the one who tries to rape us, Iinuma-kun?" 

"I will help you, of course, but I am just a human. I can't be everywhere. If you are leaving this group or going to a quiet place, then I can't help you, but if you really can't help it, like you need to go to the toilet, try to bring a weapon to protect yourselves." 

Isao might be able to control all humans now and make this place a safe place, but then again, he wanted them to be careful since their environment had changed, and they couldn't think that this country was the safest country in the world once again. 

While he had to admit that Saya's house might be safe, and his words might seem like dramatization, being careful wouldn't hurt, right? 

At the same time, Isao felt like he had said this before, but it didn't matter since something important had to be said twice, or else they wouldn't understand how important this message was. 

"We-Weapon?" 

"Um... like a knife or gun?" 

While they were dumbfounded and surprised, they didn't reject the idea since they also felt it was much safer to hold a weapon. Even if they didn't use them, they could use them as something to comfort themselves since having weapons and not having them were so much different. 

"There is no need for you to get something so dangerous as a gun or knife. You can protect yourselves with something simple, such as a cutter, scissors, or fork," Isao said calmly. 

Yes, those things might seem like nothing but stationary items, but they could be used as weapons. 

Once again, their heads were wide open, and they stared at him in a daze. They didn't expect something so simple to become a weapon, but they didn't refute him because they knew those things could really become dangerous weapons.

Moreover, their identity would lead to trouble if they held a knife or a gun. At the same time, with their timid nature, holding a dangerous weapon might cause an accident, which might cause even bigger trouble. 

Then, Isao explained some tips and tricks for them to stay alive and said, "Okay, that's enough. I am going to rest. You go back first." 

While they felt reluctant, they couldn't fight his words and could only leave. 

Still, Kyoko looked at Isao and said with a moist gaze, "Iinuma-kun, can you come to my room later? I want to talk with you about something." 

Watching the worry and tears in her eyes, Isao nodded without hesitation. "Okay. Please wait in your room. I will come soon. " He might not be their leader anymore, but his sense of justice didn't allow someone to show such an expression before his presence, and it was his obligation as a former leader to comfort Kyoko.

However, Saya's lips twitched, and they thought this guy was such a scoundrel!
