An awkward time passed like that.

I hesitated, then absentmindedly wrapped my arms around my stomach.

It was my own protest, as I had nothing to say.

So, it also meant that someone else could please break this awkward atmosphere.

Noh Chang-hoon didn’t seem to understand.

Well, I never had an awkward situation with her.

Fortunately, Kang Si-woo seemed to understand and supported me.

“The habit of talking to yourself is better than you think.”

“Look! That’s right!”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me as if he felt pity.

How many hours have you spent talking to yourself when you had nothing to do?

It felt like he was saying that, so I quickly averted my gaze.

Kang Si-woo protected me again.

“In this world, it is important to keep your mind intact.”

“That’s right.”

“If you can talk to an imaginary friend and make them laugh, that’s better.”

“But I never said this to myself before. Umm… ”

I took off my headset.

Even now, my thoughts have not changed that Lee Ye-ji’s life is several times better than Park Jeong-heum’s life.

From the time I told Yeji Lee that my name was Yeji Lee, until now.

I didn’t miss my previous life even for a single moment.

But this life was not full of advantages.

Yeah, whatever. Even if you leave everything else aside.

I was incredibly anxious, as if I had a mental problem.

Not only that I have symptoms of sleepwalking, but also the fact that I have long hair and wear scantily clad clothes without realizing it.

In some ways, I can be said to be mentally ill.

It would be more appropriate to call it PTSD.

If talking to myself helped my mind, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do it.

I looked at the headset for a moment, then hung it around my neck again.

“Well, I think I heard that it also helps organize your thoughts. Eh, I don’t know. No one will keep paying attention.”

“Good decision.”

“It’s full of advantages, it’s full of advantages. Right?”

I looked at Noh Chang-hoon.

He watched Noh Chang-hoon awkwardly react when an arrow suddenly flew at him, then took the bag containing food and held it.

The bag was full of various foods.

I laid out the food and laid it out.

I don’t know how I got it, but I also saw some milk wrapped in spider webs.

Luckily, it was clear that the spiders’ den was also destroyed.

“Spiders won’t abandon their lairs, that’s surprising.”

“Sweeped out.”

“… ?”

“It’s not that difficult. I went to the place I saw before and killed everyone.”

“Uh… ”

“Luckily, there were a lot of fruits and such. I brought it here, in a plastic bag.”

“What… ?”

“I brought some sour things, so you probably won’t be bored for a while.”

I gave Noh Chang-hoon a desperate look.

What on earth happened that made Kang Si-woo try so hard?

I thought they were simply opening up an empty convenience store or supermarket.

I thought I’d just go there and pick up a few canned goods or ready-to-eat foods.

However, I had no idea that they would clear out the spiders’ den like this and bring back all the edible items from there.

I didn’t know they would bring milk there.

Now I see that the fruits are also sour. Lime, lemon, apples and even green apples.

What was even more surprising was the various snacks Kang Si-woo brought.

They were all sweet and sour, but at this point I was scared.

Regardless of the type, it seemed like they all brought it as long as it tasted sour.

Clearly I did not deserve to be treated like this.

No, this level of treatment. Anyway, this was too much.

It was a waste of time to try this hard to feed just one person.

But looking at Kang Si-woo’s expression, it seemed like he was sorry for not being able to bring more.

In the end, I slowly picked up a green apple.

Then, I used my strength to peel off the cobwebs from the bark.

The green apples were quite delicious. Normally tasteless apples were crumbly and not crunchy.

So it was painful to chew, but this apple didn’t feel dry when chewed.

Kang Si-woo watched me eat.

I felt like a grandmother watching her grandchildren eat food.

When I finally took out the dagger and started peeling the limes and lemons, I was shocked.

It was a time when I was so overwhelmed by excessive kindness that I didn’t know what to do.

Noh Chang-hoon said he would help too and started unwrapping the food.

I quietly gave up and feasted.

And the rest of the day went by normally.

So, it means that we just played and ate all day.

But it had to be that way.

Because of the general’s secretion bag I was carrying, covert movement was virtually impossible.

Even if I leave my pocket behind, my body is already full of body odor, so they say it won’t work or something.

So, I had no choice but to rest properly when I could and fight properly when I had to fight.

Fortunately, there were board games prepared in the classroom.

Like Jenga or chess. Thanks to this, it was easy to pass the time.

The three of us played board games for hours, so time passed quickly.

And then I woke up and voila. It’s morning.

I smiled in satisfaction.

“As expected, just playing around is not my aptitude.”

“Then you prepare breakfast too.”

“To do that.”

Just making breakfast was an easy task.

I used all the vegetable cooking skills I learned while staying next to Kang Si-woo.

Then a reasonably edible breakfast was completed.

Jerky and mayonnaise sandwiched between crackers. Cookies topped with tuna.

Sausage sprinkled with ketchup. Well, it was like this.

It’s hard to say that much effort was put into it, but it was okay.

Because I don’t eat.

“Me, me. Look at how he made it so bad that he didn’t eat it.”

“Ah, why. You can eat it.”

“It’s delicious, why are you doing that?”

“Look. They say Siwoo is delicious too.”

“… It’s more worth eating than I thought.”

I peeled a sausage and put it in my mouth.

The two of us ate that for breakfast, and I decided to eat the leftover food from yesterday.

I was a little dissatisfied with how cold it was, but nothing beat this.

I filled my stomach with delicious food.

Noh Chang-hoon grumbled, but it didn’t last long.

It was more like a simple warning not to play pranks like this next time.

To be honest, I acknowledged that it was a slightly different attempt, so I was able to graduate from Silla University without any conflict.

I passed through the bars where the zombies were stuck and started walking.

The march continued for several hours.

Fortunately, the zombies didn’t attack much.

They must have realized that our power was greater than they thought, and they seemed to have received orders from someone.

So, other than a few zombies rushing at me without knowing what to do, there was no fighting.

Kang Si-woo killed a few of them in time, so there was nothing for me to worry about.

By this point, it was getting very boring.

Noh Chang-hoon or Kang Si-woo. Neither of them even properly accepted my words about being wary of their surroundings.

They both grab my arm and let go from time to time.

In addition, since we were moving slowly, of course, dissatisfaction was bound to build up.

So I grumbled a little.

“Ah, ah. When will you arrive?”

“We planned it within two to three days, so it won’t take that long.”

“I guess so. Oh, I should have brought a board game.”

“Unfortunately, there is no space to waste on such items.”

“Chet.”

I tried to say that I would take it with me, but I had no choice when Kang Si-woo said that.

Well, even if I thought about it, it was strange.

If you have room to carry a board game, it would be right to bring one more food or water.

The march continued.

Fortunately, I was able to move forward this time.

Kang Si-woo commented that it was a good sign.

Maybe the zombies in Sasang-gu won’t touch us anymore or something.

He said that the order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices seems to take priority now.

“Instead, don’t forget that the higher you go, the more zombies will attack you. From there, it’s Viscount’s territory.”

“Then it will become a little more fun. They said that moderate exercise is also important for health.”

“But shouldn’t you exercise too vigorously?”

“… ?”

“Ah, that. I mean. What I meant was not to exert too much force.”

“Ah, ah. Really?”

I nodded.

What Kang Si-woo said was not wrong.

To stop Viscount from the front, I had to stay intact.

That way, you can take as much time as possible and overwhelm Viscount when you are in a near-dead state.

Count Viscount, who has been in tatters from dealing with Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon, will not be able to defeat me, who shows off his mighty power.

Since this was a planned strategy, I needed to maintain my physical strength.

Kang Si-woo must have been thinking that too, and he told me.

“Yeji needs to eat a lot for a while.”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

“I want to provide more healthy food rather than delicious food, but… That’s impossible for the time being.”

“Well, the fields and rice paddies haven’t been restored yet.”

“Even if you can’t do it, I hope you will continue to eat a lot until October this year.”

“Hmm?”

I wondered why it took until October of this year.

I thought for a moment. Since it is January now, the idea is to eat well for about 10 months.

In the original work, it seems like preparations are made about a year after the outbreak…

Well, whatever. It took about a year from the outbreak of the incident to prepare.

The calculation is that if I, the main tank, eat well, they will hold out in front of me.

I nodded. Kang Si-woo smiled very happily.
