“Don’t take this the wrong way, but would I happen to find a bite mark or two if I peeled back all those layers?”

“We’re clean.” Otoha and I shook our heads in protest.

“And why should I take your word for it? Take off your clothes, right here, right now, and I might be a little more inclined to believe you. Not that anyone’s forcing you, of course.” She gestured with her shotgun.

“Are you two related, by any chance?” I asked.

“Don’t even go there,” Otoha growled.

“I was just trying to lighten the mood.”

“Enough chitchat. Just get on with it. I want to see you two in your birthday suits... now.”

“Like, buck naked? You’re out of your mind.”

There was an entire horde of zombies waiting right outside, practically begging for us to come out. If we were gonna get thrown back out there, I at least wanted to die with some dignity.

“Free yourselves of society’s shackles and become one with Mother Nature.”

“Now I’m even more convinced. Either way, we’re not stripping for your amusement. Do what you will.”

“Aw, man. Almost had ’em.”

As much as I would’ve loved to pry, I loved being alive more, so I kept my mouth shut. The way her left eye was twitching told me there was no point in agitating her any further.

Criminally gorgeous yet missing a few screws... Where have I seen that before?

Suddenly, the twitching stopped, and she set down her shotgun. “Please accept my sincerest apologies for my insensitive conduct. Rest assured, it won’t happen again.” She graced us with a deep bow.

Now that my life wasn’t in any immediate danger, I could take a step back and reassess the situation.

The maid’s dainty physique didn’t exactly scream “cold-blooded killing machine,” but looks could be deceiving.

Also, didn’t she, like, shoot that thing four times total? That’d be highly unusual in light of Japan’s shotgun capacity laws, which only allow for a maximum of up to three shells loaded at any given time—two in the magazine and one in the chamber.

The only feasible explanation was that she must’ve combat loaded the last shell. For the uninitiated, combat loading was drawing and loading a fresh shell during combat. It was a highly specialized technique, one you’d only expect to see from trained professionals in the field of... battle.

“Zino, you can drop the act. I know it’s you.”

It wasn’t unusual for girls to play as male characters to avoid any unwanted attention from the predominantly male fanbase, so who was I to judge? Zino was Zino, regardless of arbitrary gender distinctions.

How she’d managed to overcome the massive discrepancy between her real self and the character model was beyond me, though. The general consensus was that the resulting motion sickness was too big a handicap for any serious player. Not that I’d tried it myself, of course.

“Pardon?” She tilted her head in confusion.

“It’s me. Hound Nine, remember?”

“Hound Nine, now where did I...?” She stopped to think for a moment. “Oh, I see! Yes, that makes perfect sense. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
