I slept quite deeply, but I had no dreams.

Or maybe you had a dream but don’t remember it.

It’s always been like that. Not being able to remember your dreams when you really need to.

Still, it didn’t seem like a dream worth remembering.

So, I changed my headset, stretched out in my room, and picked up my baton.

“Now is…”

Perhaps because it was handled so roughly, the watch could barely tell the time.

I put the watch back in my pocket, thinking I would get a new watch later.

I must have been quite tired yesterday, so I seemed to sleep all the way until 5 am.

For some reason, I thought it was a little dark outside.

“You must be doing your morning canter by now.”

Kang Si-woo had a very sincere personality.

Even in the original work, he was the guy who only verbally declared that he would live for me.

Kang Si-woo lived for everyone until the end.

Although I was more faithful to my desires than before my regression, I could easily tolerate that.

In the original novel, the heroine’s character is also a kind of charm.

Anyway, there was a description that he was probably still following the same habits he used before his regression.

It’s like leading by example before anyone else, and being the first to patrol the university.

If I was lucky, there was a chance that I could meet Kang Si-woo.

Honestly, I was looking forward to meeting Kang Si-woo.

Because I had to explain the future plan and say I would participate in it.

It was a bit awkward to say in a public place.

It’s not that I’m unsociable, but still.

Wouldn’t it be wise to take care to avoid embarrassing situations in the first place?

I think so.

“Now that I think about it, it will take a few months before I can use the water properly.”

After cleaning the land near Hadan 2-dong Administrative Welfare Center, the road to Nakdong River will be opened.

Although it cannot be said to be perfectly clean, you can still wash with peace of mind.

Kang Si-woo was like that in the original work too.

Since there are leftover materials anyway, all you have to do is make something similar to a giant filtration device and wash it.

“But, well, the water should come out properly now.”

Water was still stored in the water tank on the roof of the dormitory.

Of course, according to the original description, at a set time.

It was only possible to wash the combat team that was fighting fiercely with zombies.

Probably once in the morning and once in the evening.

Well, it didn’t matter if I asked about it later.

So, after getting ready for a walk, I went outside the dormitory and started running.

Actually, I don’t have a hobby of taking walks, but I mostly just like to rest.

Since Kang Si-woo didn’t know those facts, all he had to do was think of winning points.

As soon as I left the dormitory, Kang Si-woo appeared as if he had been waiting.

Then, naturally, he smiled and spoke to me.

“This was during morning patrol. I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet Yeji.”

“Oh, I was just going to take a walk. I was lucky.”

I knew it instinctively.

This bastard was waiting to meet me.

There was something he wanted from me, so he came on purpose to get it.

I really didn’t know what I was hoping for.

Since it’s Kang Si-woo, we can only guess that it’s a direction that will benefit the community.

“Can I call you Mr. Siwoo from now on?”

“If it’s convenient for you. For your information, I feel more comfortable with respect.”

That’s lame.

I know because I read the original.

That guy doesn’t feel comfortable being treated with respect, he just treats everyone with respect because it’s annoying.

We all know that it is good to speak informally when dating a woman.

And I am that woman.

It was quite ominous, but I wondered if something was going on.

Still, since we had to cooperate for a few months first, I pretended not to know anything and changed the subject.

“By the way, Mr. Siwoo.”

“Yes?”

“There is an administrative welfare center in Hadan 2-dong. There were a lot of zombies around there.”

“Did you feel uncomfortable coming here?”

Kang Si-woo smiled as if he was really happy to see him.

I almost knew why it was like that.

They wanted to expand the area to include the Hadan 2-dong Administrative Welfare Center, but it was written that they could not do so due to opposition.

I am the one who can scratch that itchy back.

Because it is living proof that survivors cannot gather together even if they want to.

If it weren’t for Kang Si-woo, I would have arrived at university in quite tatters.

At first glance, the pear would have turned from blue to red.

The arms and legs must have been bitten off and left sparsely empty.

It was obvious that if I went to university in that condition, I would not have been treated properly.

The people Kang Si-woo takes care of are those who are within his own boundaries.

It seems like it will die soon anyway, but I have a lot of things?

They would have let him die right away and robbed the things in the cart.

Then, I was confident that he would have used my will and other things as an excuse to unlock the knowledge he had before returning.

I had no intention of blaming him for that.

Unless you’re an asshole like me, there’s no fool who would risk their life for someone else.

“Yes. It was incredibly dangerous. If it wasn’t for Siwoo, I would have been hurt enough to die.”

“You must have been quite dizzy. Did you just think of that?”

“Honestly, I couldn’t help but remember it. In an imminent situation, he appears and says, ”

The conversation quickly became amicable.

I couldn’t tell if it was because they separated because they both wanted the same thing, or because Kang Si-woo was naturally a popular person.

But the time was fun, and it was clear that we were useful to each other.

I was able to reach my goal of strengthening my position within this university.

It seemed like Kang Si-woo was planning to use me to run the university as he pleased for the time being.

And in the process, you will solidify your position.

“Now that I think about it, Mr. Siwoo. How many people are there at this university?”

“Well, I tried my best, but I could only save about 60 people at most.”

“Originally, how many people were here…?”

“Because the incident occurred during the semester, there must have been several hundred people at most. There is also a dormitory…”

“Ah.”

Kang Si-woo had a slightly gloomy expression.

It seemed like he was blaming himself for not being able to save the people he could have saved even though he had returned.

If I had tried harder, I think I could have saved more people.

I liked it because it was the typical protagonist’s thoughts.

Because it felt like the Kang Si-woo I saw in the novel was alive and breathing here.

But I had no intention of being foolishly swayed.

So, I did my best not to be swayed throughout the conversation with Kang Si-woo.

Fortunately, I was able to finish the conversation with Kang Si-woo without any major mistakes.

After walking around for a few tens of minutes, I went down to the restaurant building with Kang Si-woo.

“I’m telling you in case you misunderstand, but the restaurant building is in the corner over there.”

“Then what about the library building?”

“That is the cafeteria used by students, but now it is a distribution area.”

“Aha. Thank you for letting us know.”

It was tiring to pretend not to know something I already knew.

Still, I couldn’t help it.

If you act like you know something when you’re not even a student at this university, it’s easy to get suspicious.

What if I had mentioned from the very first meeting that my acquaintance attended this university?

If I added something like that now, there was a high chance that I would be glared at.

“It’s cleaner inside than I thought?”

“Thanks to the students’ hard work. I haven’t done much.”

“But isn’t it because Siwoo worked hard that he got this far?”

“I… tried hard?”

Kang Si-woo smiled meaningfully.

To be honest, I was a little scared, but I couldn’t help it.

I had to emphasize here that I am a useful woman.

That way, Kang Si-woo, who is interested, will start using me more in earnest.

Rather than spreading knowledge before returning and feeling like it was the end, it was better to have a comrade that I could continue to fight with.

“Yes. Mr. Siwoo is like the head of this university community. You can tell just by looking at it.”

“Can I ask why you thought that way?”

“It’s obvious. That many zombies and mutants. If it is something that can be dealt with lightly, it means that it fought on the front lines.”

“Just because you fight well doesn’t mean you can run a community.”

“Even if you try to hide it, you can’t hide the atmosphere that students are wholeheartedly following Mr. Siwoo.”

“Haha, you have a good sense of humor.”

Kang Si-woo gently rubbed the sword on his waist.

I was momentarily scared, but I knew it because it was a habit specified in the original work.

He said he sharpens his sword like that whenever he needs to think for a long time.

So for now, just pretend like nothing is wrong and just be normal.

Kang Si-woo will evaluate me on his own.

“Mr. Yeji.”

“Yes?”

“Is there something you want?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not curious about what you want. But, remember this one thing.”

Kang Si-woo smiled kindly.

However, only his mouth was smiling, and his eyes were full of murderous intent that would not kill him gracefully if he did something foolish.

If I were an ordinary person, I would have been very scared here, but I am different.

That thing is fucking scary, but less scary than the other fucking zombies.

“If you want to destroy this community, I recommend that you die quietly.”

“Why do I want that? What I want is to create a place where I can rub my body.”

“I’m sure you will.”

Kang Si-woo nodded as if he would trust me for now.

And he quickly changed his expression and smiled so brightly that I had no choice but to stop there.

really. If it weren’t for Ultimate Lee Yeji who was really full of time, she would have been crying by now.

For now, I was satisfied that Kang Si-woo was watching me carefully, and I thought it would be a good idea to leave it at that.

So I smiled as if nothing had happened and then went inside the building to have a normal meal.
