What’s so fascinating and strange about human psychology is that if there’s someone helping you, you’ll naturally follow suit.

Even if you think back to when you were young, if you were having an argument with someone and someone next to you said, ‘Hey, hey, hold back,’ you would get even more angry, even though it wasn’t a situation to get that angry.

That’s exactly my situation right now.

Of course, just a moment ago, all I felt was a slight tingling and soreness…

“How on earth should you move your body…”

As I was receiving the worried gaze of a beautiful woman of Reiko’s age like this, my body suddenly felt very heavy, as if I was on the verge of getting sick.

Should I say that it feels like a rock has been placed on my shoulder?

Of course, I had no intention of pretending to be weak.

Bringing out maternal love from the other person in that way was one of the ways to seduce the other person, but considering Reiko’s personality that I’ve seen so far, it would be more effective to pretend to be okay than to show a weak side when in reality, it’s not okay at all. Because it was my decision to do so.

“Well, if you end up with a few bruises on your body rather than one of your limbs being blown off or at least a broken bone, wouldn’t that be a very low price for dealing with five special entities at the same time?”

“Five…?”

A face that looks astonished.

I looked at that face and scratched my cheek.

The expression on his face as if he had made a mistake was a bonus.

“Ah… Hmm, something like that.”

“There are five special individuals…”

“···Anyway, you don’t have to worry too much as this can be cured with just acupuncture. This will never cause any disruption to security work.”

As I said that and waved my hand, Reiko’s eyes, which had been focused on me, cooled slightly.

“First of all… I think I know how rough you are on a regular basis.”

“I don’t think it’s to the extent of hearing such words, but…”

“It’s okay, when I go back, just calmly get treatment. Don’t cause trouble for no reason.”

A firm voice that seems to say that it will not accept any objections.

However, despite Reiko’s voice, I chose to firmly stick to my existing position.

“If you say that much… I understand. Let’s consider it positively.”

“Let’s consider it positively, not saying, but doing it that way.”

“No, it’s not really that bad…”

“If it’s a hospital, do we really have to fight like this over something that will end if we just receive treatment calmly, and we’re not like a seven-year-old kid that people look at with disgust?”

For a moment, he seemed to avoid looking at Reiko, who narrowed her eyebrows and sighed heavily as if she was dying of frustration, and then added secretly.

“Well… treatment is good, but why not just do what you have to do and get it? There’s still something left to take care of.”

“You mean it needs to be dealt with?”

“Yes, that… a female-shaped entity located in the middle of the road.”

“···Ah.”

After hearing my words, did he finally remember the existence of ‘it’ that he had forgotten for a while?

Reiko’s face hardened in an instant.

“If you don’t deal with it now, it will definitely become a problem later. There is no basis, but I have a hunch.”

In fact, I said that I felt like I was overdoing it to some extent, so I wonder if, as someone who shared similar feelings of reluctance, he couldn’t possibly shout out the opposite.

As I thought about having to make me do something again, even though I was clearly not in good shape, I thought that even though I was Reiko, there was still a part of my conscience that was bothering me. For a moment, I bit my lip and showed a look of embarrassment on my face. , In the end, Reiko reluctantly nodded.

“···Then let’s just deal with that and go back and get treatment right away.”

“Ah, yes…”

“Don’t try to ignore it just because it’s annoying! Please answer clearly!”

“Oh, I understand.”

Reiko’s permission(?) had also been lost. There was no reason to hesitate any longer, so he immediately picked her up and headed towards the place where the female-shaped entity was.

During the process, there was an incident where Reiko’s face turned white as she witnessed the scene of a fight between me, who was in a state of self-suggestion, and a group of zombies containing special entities, but other than that, there was nothing that could be problematic.

The surroundings were too clean for problems to arise now.

Thanks to this, I was able to land safely at my target location without any interference.

“So… how do you plan on handling that?”

“I feel like I want to get close to him and blow his head off…”

When I actually did that, I felt a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s because the atmosphere it gives off is so foreign, but I have a feeling that nothing good will come of getting closer.

“It doesn’t feel very good, so I’ll just burn it.”

“Burning it?”

“Yes.”

Also, since the location is at the beginning of a highway, there are a lot of abandoned cars around that have lost their owners.

So you don’t have to worry about oil or anything like that.

Sure enough, we were able to secure an abundance of gas just by opening up a few cars.

Of course, in the meantime, the female-shaped entity in the example that reacted to Reiko was screaming so hard that the road left… but the zombies weren’t springing out of the ground, and all of the things gathered around were in my hands. Since it had been separated for a long time, few people heard the screams and came to visit.

Well, maybe one or two regular zombies?

Aaaah!

“Being needlessly noisy…”

Or am I struggling in my own way?

If that was the case, there was no good in leaving it like that, so I threw the barrel full of oil I had collected over the head of the thing that was screaming loudly.

Then he twisted his waist as much as possible, then released it and swung his sword widely…

Seaaa!

Blue sword energy shot out from the tip of the sword in a large semicircle and neatly cut the oil drum that was still floating in the air in half.

Wow!

At the same time, the contents that were filling the container were thrown onto the target’s head.

Towards the thing covered in a liquid that smells so bad that it makes you dizzy when you smell it like that.

Pong!

Likewise, he searched an abandoned car nearby and threw away the lighter he found.

Since the distance was quite long, I was a little worried that the lights would not go out while flying… I wonder if the price is different.

The fact that it safely arrived at the target point without going out midway quickly lit up the flame.

At first… it was very small compared to the amount of oil mobilized.

It didn’t take long for what started out as something to grow into something huge.

Grumble!

Aaaah!

I wondered what it would be like if he had the ability to nullify certain means like the guy called Stalker, who was once a thorn in the side of the Arisugawa family, but luckily he didn’t have any other abilities other than manipulating the zombies around him.

Once it started burning, it burned really well.

Thanks to this, the unique unpleasant smell that comes from burning the protein that filled the entire area in an instant caused a slight feeling of nausea… but I held it in and fixed my gaze on the female-shaped entity in the example struggling in the flames.

‘If you just let me go like this, I won’t want anything more…’

The possibility of that happening is very low.

I don’t know what kind of being it is carrying in my womb, but if it takes as its mother a monster that occupies a supreme position among zombies, to the point where it can freely control not only ordinary zombies but also special entities, then it is absolutely an ordinary monster. Because it couldn’t have happened.

So, I kept my gaze focused on the thing that was struggling hard just in case… but sure enough, a strange phenomenon caught my eye.

Wiggle…!

At first… I thought I had seen something wrong.

What made me realize that wasn’t true was the startled voice that came from next to me.

“Um, what on earth is that…”

An object that anyone could clearly tell was an ‘arm’ suddenly rose above the large bulge that looked like that of a pregnant woman.

Although all that was revealed was an outline… that alone caused me to suffer from an indescribable feeling of reluctance.

I don’t know if this expression is appropriate, but I guess I should say that it feels like I’m looking at something whose mere existence is an insult to something.

And it seems I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, as Reiko, who was sitting next to me, was shaking her legs with a pale, tired face.

It looks like his legs will lose strength at any moment and he will collapse.

The moment I saw that image, I was convinced again.

We must do whatever it takes to prevent ‘that’ from crawling out.

Wiggle…! Wiggle…!

“It doesn’t feel good, so please take a step back.”
