There were several complex reasons why I went back the way I had already gone when I could have left without even looking back.

First, I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

Imagination without substance only incites ominousness, and as Keiko told me, if the people quarantined in Tokyo are really monsters that cannot be interacted with, how cruel would it be? When fighting, it is necessary to check how the enemy is fought. Because I thought it was there.

From my perspective, it was natural for me to think that way. Although there is a considerable distance between the area where Arisukawa Academy is located and Tokyo, they are not satisfied with just the area they occupy, and one day, when they reach out to the outside, they will run into them. Because I decided it was inevitable.

So, I ran towards the place where I heard the explosion sound with the intention of confirming their reality with my own eyes… but as soon as I arrived at the scene, I realized it.

Why do people say that it is better to see something once than to hear it a hundred times?

That’s because the ‘monsters’ I saw when I arrived were not what I had imagined, but were more like ordinary people who happened to gain power.

So at first I thought Keiko might have tricked me… but then I remembered the details of the hypnosis I had placed on her and shook my head.

Considering the content of the hypnosis applied to Keiko, there was a high possibility that it was not a trick to deceive her.

To be exact… there is a high possibility that the one who was deceived was none other than her.

It was at that time that I smelled a slight but foul smell.

In fact, that was why I decided to deal with the soldiers who were fighting against these somewhat heterogeneous people.

Since this has happened, shouldn’t we listen to what the other side has to say?

Well… I don’t know if conversation is possible.

With that in mind, I swept away the guys who didn’t hesitate to point guns at children… but among those who thought this had absolutely nothing to do with me, there was someone who was an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

And after talking to Karin, whom I met that way, I was able to naturally realize it.

These people…are closer to victims than perpetrators.

I think it was at that time that we decided to bring them over to us.

‘Anyway, the north side of the academy is practically a blank area…’

If we leave it alone, there is a 99.9% chance that the evil bastards will take over, but wouldn’t it be more advantageous to force forces that are inevitably friendly towards us to sit there?

At least there won’t be any quarrels over useless things.

And more than anything… if I stand in front of Karen with her, I will be able to owe her a huge amount of debt.

That debt will be very useful in bringing Karen, who has not yet completely surrendered to me, into my control.

That’s all?

With Karin, ‘that’ was possible.

It was possible to attempt a ‘sister rice bowl’ that would make men’s hearts beat as much as the words ‘mother and daughter rice bowl’.

In short, we are in a situation where we can reap as many as three to four benefits with just one choice, so is there any reason not to do it?

We didn’t even have to think about cancer, so we tried to attract them to us by giving them even the remaining food.

Fortunately, my persuasion worked.

After much consideration, Karin expressed her intention to join us.

‘I’m sure you’re following along well…?’

It’s hard to trust her because she doesn’t do things differently from her cool-beauty female college student self…

Still… it’ll be okay.

It’s not that difficult; all we have to do is follow the traces we make as we move.

That’s what I thought.

“So?”

“Huh?”

“What on earth are you doing here?”

“Ah…there is something like that.”

When did he ambitiously declare that he wouldn’t let a single finger touch his and Reiko’s bodies for a week? I wonder if he feels a little tingly because he can’t get along with me like he used to.

It must have been a moment when I was trying to deal with Chiyo, who felt somewhat restless and kept hovering around me.

Jump up!

“That…! Su, Suhyeon!”

The door of the camping car, which had been closed to rest comfortably as I was a little tired from traveling a long distance quickly, suddenly opened and a bodyguard with a very urgent look on his face ran into the camping car.

“What happened?”

“Well…that’s…a suspicious group followed behind us.”

I was wondering why he was doing that, so I asked him a quick question, but the answer I got back was none other than that.

When did you first hear that?

I thought the military unit encircling the city, stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo, had belatedly noticed our presence and had attached a tracking party.

‘···Wait a minute, no way.’

It was right after that that I began to think that maybe it was people I knew.

“What kind of guys are they?”

” Well… I saw it from a distance so I’m not sure… but it looked like a truck used by the Self-Defense Forces. ”

…I guess what I thought was correct.

‘under···.’

I was afraid something like this might happen so I told him to keep a reasonable distance and follow me… I guess he should have been more specific instead of vague like that.

My head ached a little at the thought of resolving the situation, but I still had to do what I had to do.

Of course, that was why I slowly got up from my seat.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“There is someone behind us.”

“···Aren’t they soldiers?”

Did Chiyo even know that in a world like this, there was nothing good about dealing with the so-called military?

I patted Chiyo’s head a couple of times, whose expression was hard with worry, and got out of the camping car that had been parked for a while while I cleared away the abandoned cars blocking the road and secured the passage.

And then, as I searched for Reiko… I wonder if there was a report about a suspicious group of people following behind me as well as there.

With a cold-looking face, he walked towards Reiko, who was instructing those nearby to arm themselves.

“Ah… Seo, Seo-bang.”

When it was just the two of me, Reiko became completely slutty, but that was only when we were alone, and it wasn’t easy for her to constantly call me, younger than her daughter, in front of family members like this. Maybe?

Reiko’s face heated up slightly with embarrassment, as if she had been keeping a cool face for some time.

“Is it because of the people behind you?”

“Yes… I don’t think it was done with good intentions.”

“Hmm… it certainly may seem that way.”

“···?”

I smiled awkwardly and scratched my head when I saw Reiko looking at me with an expression that seemed to ask me what the hell that meant.

“Actually… those are the people I recruited.”

“Yes?”

“You said earlier that you would go for a short walk, right? I invited him then.”

“Ah…”

A slightly relaxed expression.

He smiled wryly at that for a moment as a way to help her come to her senses, then gently patted Reiko’s back and said,

“Still, I’m armed just in case.”

There won’t be a fight, but it will make you feel safer.

“Ah, yes.”

“But it’s there.”

“···?”

“Honestly, at this rate, isn’t it time to lift the ban…?”

Reiko folded the corners of her eyes and smiled prettily at my question.

Just as I was feeling hope starting to sprout… Reiko, keeping her usual smile intact, slowly turned around and took my hand away from her back.

“No.”

“Anit…! Why…!”

Wouldn’t six hours be enough as a warning?

“Because I promised Chiyo.”

“Umm···.”

“We are going to be living with the same person from now on, so shouldn’t we build some friendship like this?”

Reiko’s attitude as she said that was flawless and honest.

After all, wouldn’t it be better than having my women get jealous of each other and fight each other?

It’s a bit ironic that I have to sacrifice for that.

“Anyway, I will take care of the group behind me, so don’t be anxious and just wait.”

“You’re not overdoing it again, are you?”

“Not at all.”

After reassuring Reiko like that?

It headed towards the rear of the procession.

“Hey! Karin!”

Then, he raised his voice and called someone’s name… Soon, Karin appeared, looking like she had rushed in.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“Hey… I told you to stick close to me at a reasonable distance, but who wants you to stick close to me like this?”

“No, I’m afraid I might get lost…”

“You said you know the way?”

“Well, you still don’t know…”

Ugh, really… I might like this undeserving bitch.

“I’m sorry if your people were anxious because of us…”

“Okay, I told you that you are on our side too, so don’t get too close. Got it?”

“Ugh…”

And so… my strange companionship with Karinne began.
