My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 74

Kisha and Duke studied the map intently before exchanging a knowing glance, their eyes reflecting a shared determination and cunningness that only the two of them could fully comprehend. At that moment, they appeared as though they were two halves of the same shrewd coin.

"Master, young madam, how do you plan to proceed from here?" Sparrow asked, he had been curious about this part since even before he departed for this mission but he just had no chance of asking then.

"Why don’t you take a moment to rest? We’re well aware of how exhausting it must be, running around all day," Kisha suggested, cautious not to reveal the full extent of the plan just yet. She feared that if Sparrow became too excited, he might neglect much-needed rest, potentially leading to complications down the line.

But not telling him anything now will also make him worry and think about it so Kisha added. "We’ll give you a better position to watch the show. You should rest until 4 in the morning. By then, you’ll have an important role to play." Kisha said, Her words dripped with a devious smirk, hinting at the intrigue to come.

Although Sparrow was eager to unravel their scheme, he possessed the wisdom not to press for answers at this moment. He silently acquiesced to Kisha’s arrangements, recognizing that pushing further could risk angering his master.

After reaching an agreement, Sparrow promptly handed Duke and Kisha the radio he had obtained from the enemies. Additionally, he passed the backpacks containing dried goods, canned foods, and ammunition for the AWMs, along with some pistols. Notably, both AWMs were in pristine condition, prompting Sparrow to entrust them to Kisha’s discretion regarding their usage.

With Duke’s consent, he withdrew to one of the rooms within the apartment.

As the rifles wouldn’t be required immediately, Kisha swiftly stored everything in her inventory before she and Duke retired for the day as well, aiming to replenish their energy and they went to their separate rooms to rest.

Kisha indulged in a long, hot bath before slipping into a fresh set of sportswear and heading for her bed. However, just as she was about to settle in, a knock echoed at the door. Pausing, she tilted her head, pondering if there were any lingering issues to resolve. Finding none, she couldn’t fathom why someone would seek her out at this late hour. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

With a hint of curiosity, she could only assume it was Duke, perhaps with something he had forgotten to mention.

So she swiftly went to the door and opened it for Duke. Not only did Duke not speak but he immediately went inside Kisha’s room as if it was normal for him to do so, Kisha could only slowly close the door in confusion as she followed Duke inside her room. Duke then sat at her bed looking at her, as if she was taking forever to come and follow him inside.

Still puzzled, she followed his lead and stood before him, waiting for him to speak. However, Duke’s impatience was palpable as he quickly rose to his feet and gently pulled her towards the bed with a determined yet tender force.

"Why the delay?" Duke’s husky voice, tinged with a hint of gentleness, murmured as he grasped her wrist, his other hand lightly tracing her waist. Kisha was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, unsure of how to react.

She had attempted to push aside the memory of waking up in Duke’s arms earlier that day, striving to maintain an air of nonchalance. Yet, beneath her composed exterior, a whirlwind of emotions stirred within her, leaving her feeling utterly in disarray.

He slowly and gently lay them both on the bed, his arms enveloping Kisha as if gently persuading her to rest. Completely bewildered by his actions, Kisha struggled to comprehend the situation. "Um... Duke, what brings you here?" she queried, her voice hesitant as she sought clarity.

"To sleep with you," Duke stated matter-of-factly, his expression unwavering, as if oblivious to any potential impropriety in his words.
