Tsukasa, along with Hikako and the new group of survivors asked to open the gates.

Tsukasa is holding Himawari by her shoulders, and after the gate is opened by Tadao (who is trying to fortify it with planks) he just scowled at his youngest daughter.

"What the hell is she doing...?" Kagami asked herself.

As the whole group entered through the gates, the other ones from inside the university building comes out.

"Miyuki-Chan, please try to patch this girl up!"

Tsukasa handed Himawari's limp body to Miyuki, who then placed it on a table.

"Tsukasa-San, are you alright?" Ruu asked.

The group started to become rowdy, until Kagami calls Tsukasa's name.

"Tsukasa! What the hell are you thinking!? We couldn't let more people in here!"

"But they're--"

"We couldn't leave them in the park alone, genius! That's what." Kurumi interrupted.

"I'm not asking you, thug. I'm asking Tsukasa why would she think that bringing more mouths to feed is a good idea, one day when the food ran out, suddenly I'm a goddamn Nazi!"

"What Kurumi-San said correct. We couldn't leave them by themselves at the park." Tsukasa said.

"She's right, lady! Just listen to her!" Akari plead.

"Who are you?" Kagami turned her attention to Akari.

"Akaza Akari. These are my friends."

"Akaza Akari??? Let me guess, did you girls bring any food stuff before this happened?"

"Sadly, no. Our food got ransacked by some guys who said that we're weak, and we are better off dead. My sister got killed right in front of us, before they took all our food. We we're lucky to escape..."

"Great. So damn great..." Kagami facepalms.

"Well I'm sorry, but these parasites have to go!" Tadao shouted.

"Excuse me, grandpa? Who are you calling parasites?!" Funami asked, with a threatening voice.

"Alright, people! That's enough! Things are as bad as it is, and if we just fight like this we won't last a week!" Hikako calms the situation down.

Everyone then became quiet and went to their usual activities, except for Kagami, Tsukasa and Kurumi.

"You think you're a leader of this place and group now, after what happened to your girlfriend!?" Kurumi shouted at Kagami.

"Hey, I've been leading people once so I can lead you guys too!" Kagami shouted back.

"Both of you, calm down already... It doesn't even matter who's in charge!"

"I'm not asking for your opinion, Tsukasa."

"Well, Onee-Chan it's not an opinion but it's a damn fact! If you keep barking orders like that, people will really leave us!"

"Well so be it! We're running out of food, and I don't give a damn about what will happen to them!"

"Really? You don't give a damn?"

"Yes, and it's final."

"Alrighty then, what if it was KONA-CHAN here!?"

Kagami froze, before she gripped her shovel with a murderous intent.

"Don't bring her up, you hear me?" She said, threatening her own twin sister.

Tsukasa gulped.

"Here's the food ration for today, but it's not enough for all of us!" Kagami then violently handed Tsukasa a sack of food, before leaving.

"I'm sorry about her. She's just lonely..." Tsukasa said to Kurumi.

"Well, it's fine. People can be like that sometimes... Hand those food wisely, OK? Prioritize the kids first."

Tsukasa nodded, and looked inside the sack to reveal 2 boxes of Pocky, a MRE, and a half slice of bread. She then looked at her surroundings, and counted.

There's Kagami, Miyuki, Kurumi, Yuki, Yuuri, Ruu, Tadao, Hikako, Miki, Misao, Patty, Akari, Yui, Chinatsu, Kyouko, and finally herself which makes it 16 people. The others were probably at the meeting room.

Tsukasa walked to Patty, who's sitting on the steps of the bus.

"Hey there Patty."

"Hey, Hiiragi."

"You're doing OK?"

"Not really."

"Because of the food problem?"

"Nope."

"Kona-Chan?"

"Yes. I still couldn't believe she's gone."

Tsukasa immediately changed the subject, and said "Can you give me an advice, on who should I give these rations to?"

"Ruu-Chan and Takeya-San are on your top priority. If you want to have a better relation with your family again, make sure that your father gets some."

Tsukasa nodded. She opened the sack and took the bread slice out.

"Here, Patty. You want some?"

"Thanks. I've missed eating this for breakfast everyday, but seeing us being stretched thin like this?"

"We'll probably find more food. Just see."

Tsukasa then headed over to the large space of the university exterior. Over by the gates are Tadao and Hikako reinforcing the gates with scrap metal.

"Hold the damn metal steady." Tadao commanded.

"I couldn't, I'm running out of energy to do this, perhaps..." Hikako replied.

"Oh, what do you want? I've got a couple of coins in my pocket, but you're only getting Them if you're not so damn weak."

Tsukasa frowned. Regardless, she headed to Tadao and said "Here, Tou-San."

Tadao shakes his head slowly in disappointment.

She gave him the MRE, which he immediately swiped from her hand.

"Maybe Kagami shouldn't be worrying about me too much..." He smirked, as Tsukasa then made a small smile.

"Need any help, Dad?" Tsukasa asked Tadao.

"No, sweetie."

"Actually, my saw's broken. Can we borrow your axe for a moment?" Hika replied.

"Oh, that can work. Hand it over."

Tsukasa handed the axe to her father, who then chopped down a piece of plank for the gate.

Now, onto who should get the 2 boxes of Pocky...

Tsukasa headed over to Kagami, who is sitting on top of the RV, keeping on the lookout.

"Onee-Chan, do you want something to eat?" She showed her twin one of the boxes.

"Actually, you can keep my share today, Tsukasa."

"That's odd. You usually wanted Pocky."

"That's when Konata's around. I haven't seen you feeding the kids, so give them some."

"Not angry at Ruu-Chan again?"

"Nah. She's just new to that crime prevention buzzer. I forgave her already."

Tsukasa smiled warmly as Kagami admitted that, and headed over to Ruu, who is sitting in a circle of people around a makeshift campfire, which is for the guards' post for the group. Next to Ruu (who is drawing doodles on some paper) is the middle school group Tsukasa had saved, and Yuki.

"Hey, Ruu-Chan. Here's some food..." Tsukasa handed her the box of Pocky.

"Thanks, Tsukasa Nee-San. I love Pocky."

Tsukasa walked to Chinatsu, sitting next to Ruu.

"I haven't got to know you well. You're still new after all."

"I'm Chinatsu. Yoshikawa Chinatsu. These 3 people are Akari-San, Yui-Senpai and Kyouko-Senpai, we're the amusement club. That girl being patched up on the table over there is Himawari-Senpai, and Sakurako-Senpai is our student council president... God, I can't believe we left her there!"

"Want something to eat?" Tsukasa dropped the subject.

"Nah. I'm not hungry, thanks though."

Tsukasa then looked at the remaining Pocky box that she is currently holding.

"These people need more food than I do..." Tsukasa then went over to Kurumi, sitting beside the RV.

"Want something to eat?" Tsukasa handed her the Pocky box.

"How 'bout Yuki? She ate yet?"

"No."

"Talk to me after you fed her." Kurumi looked away, a blush forms on her face. Tsukasa however, walked off towards Yuki, who is reading a manga next to the middle school group.

"Takeya-San, want some food?" Tsukasa asked. In return, Yuki gave a wide smile, and is drooling.

"Here. Some Pocky."

"Oh, Tsukasa, thanks! I missed eating these!"

Now there are no food left. Kurumi walked towards Yuki.

"Sorry, Kurumi-San. Food's not enough for all of us."

"Hey, at least you took care of little Ruu, and my girl-- Ehem, Yuki. That's good enough for me. Some people's not gonna be happy by your choices though."

Miyuki looked at Tsukasa sadly, before continuing to patch Himawari up. Yuuri and Miki smiled sadly, as they were glad Tsukasa took care of Ruu. The middle school group also took notice and smiled warmly, however Hikako is frowning in hunger, due to the less breaks given by Tadao, and her not receiving the food. Misao just scowled at Tsukasa angrily for not giving Kagami food, despite the latter declining the food earlier.

Tsukasa looked down sadly.
