"...Leona Heidern"

When I named her, just like the previous time with Scythe, I felt the energy leaving my body. But because I now have a higher level, I can endure it and can stand up without help, although I still feel some weakness.

As for Leona, the energy she took from me and a little from the surroundings begins to envelop her body and she slowly absorbs these. This lasts a couple of minutes and the surroundings recovered its normal stillness. While she’s inspecting the changes that happened inside her body, I checked the system menu to also check her status.

Well, she got several fighting skills from the name I gave her... It seems that her regeneration ability is due to her race. Seeing the results, I think the DNA I chose from the system was a good investment.

Aurora told me that the higher the soul range of the person’s DNA used for transmutation, the better the future development of the homunculus since it would have the potential to be an almost perfect clone.

Unfortunately, the stronger the soul of the person’s DNA, the higher the cost... for just the Leona DNA vial, I had to spend 100,000 crystals...

Why I chose her is easy to answer. When I learned that I could shape the body of the homunculus and that it had to be of a level 2 soul at Aurora's suggestion. My first thought was the characters of one of my favorite games, KOF.

When I consulted the system, almost all the characters exceeded soul level 1 and some almost reached level 3. So I started thinking about which one to choose, of course, all the men were immediately discarded and I narrowed down my choices to 4 characters.

After reviewing their DNA prices I also discarded another 2 immediately ... I think it would have been great to see those two in flesh and blood, but because they had control over the basic elements (Fire, water, etc.) the value of their DNA was also doubled.

The expense might have been worth it, but because I am in a level 1 world at the moment those skills would be blocked so it was better to wait until I go to a higher-leveled world. Also if I get a level 2 transmutation scroll It would save me a lot of crystal and it would be much simpler.

Because of this I only had two options, both had no elementary control and only Ki control, but one of them has a fighting style that depended totally on bare hands and immobilization techniques. Fighting against zombies using that would be a great inconvenience.

Now I only have Leona as the only option +... but I have not given up on having the other 3 girls of KOF but unfortunately, I will have to wait.

"Since we're done with this, we should go back."

"Yes ... is she really from another race?"

"She seems completely human ~"

"As I told you before, she certainly is a homunculus... the reason why she looks like this is because of the DNA base that I used... You could say that she is practically a human, but with a body much stronger than one."

Although I am not an expert, having obtained some information from Aurora, I tell them some of the information that I know about Leona.

"In our entire group, she has become the strongest person... Scythe probably wouldn't be able to defeat her if they had to fight."

"Eh?"

"Really? ~"

"Yes... Leona, why you don't show them your skills a little"

"Yes, Master!"

Leona takes a fighting position with her hands in front aiming at a thick tree. She runs toward the tree, strikes it with her palm and a loud sound is heard. Leona returns to a standing position and removes her hand from the trunk. Her attack left a mark on the tree and the bark was peeled, exposing the wood inside.

Shisuka applauds as if she had seen an exhibition of martial arts and Kurisu swallows her saliva while gazing at the dented wood and Leona's hand.

For Kurisu and Shisuka it only looked like a strong blow but with my spiritual vision, I could see that there seems to be a very thin layer of some type of transparent energy covering Leaona’s palm... maybe it is due to her exceeding level 50. Going through a large breaking point might have allowed her to use the body's energy a bit.

I can only assume this because apart from her, the other one that exceeded that level is Venus. The only change I noticed in it is that it grew even more and it seems that its whole body is more resistant.

"I will return to the laboratory Alex, I want to further my progress on the plans of the energy shield since tomorrow I will accompany you to the city"

"I will also go back to my group, it will be good to have a large amount antidotes available for tomorrow ~"

"Okay"

Upon reaching the streets of the camp, Kurisu and Shisuka went to their respective laboratories.

Aurora told me that we will still earn a bit of experience by killing zombies with groups, special weapons, or just by being present and participating on doing something, so I asked Kurisu to come in order to increase her level as she has neglected her level for quite some time.

With the huge amount of zombies that we’re planning to annihilate tomorrow and later days, the experience obtained from them will surely boost those with lower levels.

After separating and saying goodbye to them I head towards the exit of the camp. I want to see if Leona has no problem in becoming Scythe's co-worker, she as a homunculus may not be affected that much when crushing zombie’s skulls.

When I passed through the entrance door, several vines wrapped around me and lifted me up... the first time Venus did this, it gave me a big scare. I even thought that it had rebelled against me.

"Calm down Leona... my pet just wants to play a little... Venus, you shouldn't do this, it can lead to misunderstandings"

When Leona sees the vines wrapping and dragging me, she quickly pulls out a kukri to try to free me, that's why I speak to prevent her from attacking... I don't want my two strongest subordinates to kill each other... although I think Leona would win because since she is resistant to abnormal statuses. She might even break through all this little jungle and reach the heart of the Venus.

I discovered this recently, it seems that the two flowers with violet and white colors is Venus’ core. All its other parts are covering those flowers. It grows a little and its color increases in intensity each time it levels up. It also doesn’t allow people to approach the flowers.

The vines released me near the flowers and I know exactly what Venus wants. I decide to do it quickly so I can take Leona to Scythe… I walk a little closer to the petals and caressed them.

"Good girl, you've grown a lot... and you even got a little smarter"

Venus likes it when I do this. In fact, it even wants me to do this every time I pass at this location.

I use my evaluation ability to see its growth.

[Venus Luciferian level 56]

Well, it has grown 2 levels since the last time I checked it, it levelling became a little slower but it’s still quick when compared to others.

"Stay calm, I will go with your older sister, see you later. Come on Leona"

"Shaaa"

Leona follows me in silence after seeing my interaction with the plant, seconds later we see a girl with two gray-haired pigtails. At first sight this girl would surely steal the hearts of many men… if we disregard the fact that she is splitting the heads of some zombies, although I don't care and she’s still adorable to me.

[Scythe level 49]

Just a little more and Scythe will also reach level 50. I do not have much concern about that since she would surely achieve it tomorrow. When we got close to her, she stops what she is doing and puts her eyes on Leona with curiosity.

"Wh-ho?..."

"... your new sister, her name is Leona. Get along with her and take care of her... or rather… she should take care of you since she's stronger.

Do you think you could do the same thing as what Scythe is doing? If you find it unpleasant I will not force you to do it "

"... do you want me to take the crystals out of these bodies master? I don't see any problem in doing so"

Leona answers me then she takes one of the bodies from the small mountain of zombies, unsheathes the Kukri and splits the head of the zombie and takes its crystal. She did all this without expression... well, it seems that she also has a strong mentality so carrying out this task should be no problem for her.

"That's fine Leona, stay with Scythe and I'll come to pick you two up in a little while"

After seeing Leona do the same thing for a couple more times, I talk to her and went out of there… it really isn't nice for to see zombie's heads being split all day.

"... do you want me to lend you my knife?"

"..."

While I am moving away I can see that Scythe is looking curiously at Leona. Leona must have thought that Scythe was interested in her Kukri so she unsheathes the other one and passes it to her. Scythe receives it and stares at it for a while ... I hope she doesn't cut her finger.

"kn-ife ... sis-ter"

"Well ... it seems we both serve the same master so that probably makes us sisters"

I left both of them to get to know each other better. I return to the camp to have my weapons maintained so that they are completely ready for tomorrow, with that idea in mind I walk in the direction of that place.

When I get there, at the end of one of the corners of the camp I can see a new building which was built just recently. It has the appearance of a simple warehouse but several soldiers are guarding the surroundings. This is where MLDW produces its ammunition.

We got all the necessary machines and equipment from the military base to produce bullets so we had to prioritize building this small factory since ammunition is a very valuable resource in this world. People work 24 hours a day and we currently have a production rate of 1,000 9mm and 4,000 bullets of 5.56mm per day. Once the workers get used to making them, they can probably double this amount.

I go to where the others maintains weapons, a worker quickly notices me and after a little dialogue with him, I give my guns to them for maintenance. This is one of the advantages of being one of the leaders, I just have to wait a couple of minutes and they give me back my guns shiny like when I first got them without waiting long.

With nothing else to do for this day, I decide to retire early and make myself fully prepared for what may happen tomorrow. When I arrived at the castle I saw Yuriko-san, Saeko and other people from my group who had gone to our base in the city which we used to hunt the intelligence-type zombie, they were examining the plans for tomorrow, making sure that everything is perfect.

"Everything is ready to begin with the third phase of the plan tomorrow, Alexanderkun"

"... well, then we just wait and see if everything works as we expect"

"…yes"

If it were a few weeks ago, just being able to talk to Yuriko-san would make me happy, but now ... honestly, I'm a little upset with her, so our conversations lately have been very short ... sometimes I don't even pay attention to her when she talks to me. This is because I never received my payment for rescuing Soichiro... I don't like being lied to, much less being used like this, they give me false hope and it hurts my poor heart.

If Yuriko-san wanted me to help Soichiro, she didn't have to lie to me to do it, either way I would have done it ... or… maybe not. It wasn't my obligation in the first place. She or another group could’ve been the ones who went there, although we probably wouldn't get all the things there since they won’t fit in the trucks...

Just as I finish my conversation with the others, I passed by her and went to my room, then Saeko followed me.

Yuriko-san must have noticed my change in attitude towards her, since when she saw me leave she frowns a little, looking a little puzzled by this.

In my presidential suite, I lie in the bed to rest and then Saeko hugged me and let me use her respectable bust as a pillow. I spend my time in this way until the other girls who also sleep here began to arrive.

Seeing that the sun is about to go down I decided to go for Scythe and Leona, but Saeko told me to stay in bed and that she will go in my place. Perhaps because of Saeko’s insistence to improve her relationship with Scythe, she became the second person with whom Scythe interacts most apart from me, so I have no problem with her doing that.

"There's a new girl who must be with Scythe, her name is Leona. Also, tell her to come with you Saekochan."

"A new girl? Who is she?"

"It will be best to tell everyone when she comes"

"Well ... then I will also tell her to come"

When others in the room heard me say something about a new girl, apart from Kurisu and Shisuka that they already knew her, Saya and Saeko had expressions of doubt in their faces. Saeko asks me to satisfy her curiosity rather than jealousy, but it would be better to talk about Leona once she’s here.

Saeko leaves the room and after waiting for a few minutes the door opens again, but this time three girls are entering. Saya immediately puts her eyes on the unknown girl.

I introduce Leona to the girls.

"She is Leona, it is the homunculus that I said I would create with the scroll before"

"A homunculus?... seems more human than even Scythe"

"She also seems to be very strong..."

"Physically she is identical to a normal person and as Saeko-chan says, she is very strong"

I answer the questions of Saya and Saeko, then the next few minutes Leona and I try to answer any other questions that the girls have.

"Well, Leona, this is where the girls and I sleep... you can stay here unless you don't want to and want your own room"

"My job is to be next to the master and do anything he asks me to do, so if the master doesn't mind, I would also like to stay here."

Although I would prefer for her to stay here I still need to be careful not to force her to do things she doesn’t want or her loyalty will reduce because of that. If that happens it would be something unfortunate and dangerous... it is a relief that she seems to have a bound personality and mentality ... I got a bit curious as to how far her words "doing anything he asks me" is willing to accomplish.

After finishing the introductions and a little bit of discussion. The girls are now changing into comfortable sleeping clothes... when Leona saw the others undressing, she proceeded to do the same but also included her underwear in the process... seeing her sister undressing, Scythe also began to do the same.

Because of their actions I could now enjoy the splendor of their naked bodies until Kurisu noticed them and asked me to give Leona sleepwear. Saeko, on the other hand, dressed Scythe again with her clothes since she just stood with her eyes closed while we sleep.

So with one more member in bed with a total of 6 people, we all try to sleep. Although there are many of us sleeping in the same room, the presidential suite has a large bed, so there is still enough space for all of us.

Not many minutes later I began to hear the breathing of the sleeping girls, with that as lullaby I began to lose my consciousness.
