episode_0338

The first thing that came to mind when I heard Keiko’s explanation was a vicious group that had set up in Tokyo, looking for survivors and preying on them.

It was definitely like that at first, but as I thought about it, I realized it.

Something was a little strange.

From my point of view, I had no choice but to do that… It was not a ‘soldier’ but a ‘group of soldiers’ who were so faithful to their duty despite the world being ruined.

There is not even just one, but four such things?

Doesn’t it make sense in common sense?

An individual with a strong sense of duty can exist in a world like this.

But what about groups?

My thought was that it was difficult to exist in some way.

That’s why I thought it was strange just thinking about the cancer… but now, looking at the scene unfolding before my eyes, that long and peaceful feeling was surprisingly neatly organized.

“Then yes…”

There is no way such a thing as a normal group of soldiers can exist in a world like this.

How can you be sure of that?

Well… if they were really risking their lives to block the outskirts of Tokyo just out of a sense of duty, they wouldn’t have pointed their guns at the women and children who seemed to have no will to fight.

Since they are half zombies, you never know when they might turn, so you have to kill them when you have the chance?

Well, can that be an excuse?

The distance between the two groups is quite large, and if they are really monsters as Keiko claims, can we just kill them when they try to get close?

However, the soldiers did not do that.

Even though the distance was considerable, he did not hesitate to point his gun at even those who did not seem to have the will to fight.

It was as if an order had been engraved in my mind that they all had to be dealt with here and there.

And looking at that tail…

‘It stinks…’

A very dirty and unpleasant smell assaulted my nose.

That was why I relaxed my crouching posture and took a long stride toward the empty space that existed outside the rooftop.

The unpleasant smell was so strong that I felt like I had no choice but to go out and clean up the trash.

The body, drawn by gravity, tilted forward and my vision changed completely in an instant.

With my vision completely changed, I took another step.

Blame!

I ran along the wall like that… and quietly landed on the ground.

Until then, no one had noticed my presence.

Gunshots.

Screaming.

And… the sound of someone crying in anger.

I walked across the space overflowing with such things as if I was taking a walk.

Then, as the opponent was in the form of a woman and a child, he continued to fall into hesitation and approached the man who was shouting and scolding the soldiers under his command…

Pow!

“Gagging…?!”

I gave him an air hole in his solar plexus so he could vent out all the anger he had built up inside.

“This, second-class sixth rank!”

” Shimizu Second Class has been defeated!”

“The enemy! An enemy appears from behind!”

Since ancient times, when a commander loses his army, it falls into chaos.

This was similar to the national rules that have been handed down since time immemorial.

Sure enough, I noticed that people who were taking cover in various places and pointing their guns like crazy at the enemy were starting to make a fuss.

In the meantime, those who raised their voices and tried to control it in any way were kind enough to visit them in person and blow off their heads with their own hands.

“Ugh…!”

As the lives of those who could be called executives were taken away one after another, did they no longer feel the need to maintain their positions?

One after another, people watched me secretly, then turned around and disappeared into the alley.

Of course, I don’t know if it was out of fear or a late manifestation of heroism, but there were a few people who pointed guns at me… but I kicked the gun in my hand and threw it away, and it seemed as if it had never happened before. He ran away without looking back.

So… I attacked the rear of the soldiers, completely disintegrating the command center… and waited.

May those who were fighting for their lives with the soldiers come here.

I was at a loss.

After hearing from a colleague that there was a gap in the siege that was trapping them, he hurriedly tried to escape with all his companions, but before he could get far, he was blocked by the guys who rushed out.

Maybe I hesitated for too long because I thought it might be a trap they had intentionally set to deal with us all at once.

No, this is not because of that, but rather because the time spent isolated here has become too long.

Even if it weren’t for that, there would still be more people who wouldn’t have given up on being human…

“Great, Captain!”

However, if there was one thing I became certain about during this time, it was that the possibility of this being a trap was extremely low.

If it was truly a trap, there would be no way that there would have been just this many troops lurking around.

Because the enemy’s armament couldn’t have been this poor.

“You must step down…! I wasted so much time here!”

That was why he could not bring himself to say the words to step down, despite the cries of his sorrowful colleagues.

That’s because… I didn’t know that this might really be the last time.

Because it might be my last chance to escape this damn Tokyo.

But you have to step down like this?

Are you stuck with just that many numbers?

‘rather···.’

If you rush into it with the risk of dying…

It must have been a moment when he was thinking about such things in his mind as he tightened his grip on the pistol grip.

A change occurred on the battlefield where the standoff was continuing.

I don’t know why, but the enemies suddenly became confused.

Some of them even threw away their guns and ran away.

“No, what is that…?”

Just moments ago, the guys who had gritted their teeth and pointed their guns in an attempt to somehow block their advance suddenly turned their backs and started running away, making me wonder what was going on.

It was noticeable that everyone was confused, as if the chaos that had taken over among the enemies had spread here.

“···Now.”

“Yes?”

“I have to go now.”

As I said, I had to move now.

Seeing as they rushed in such a hurry, this news must have reached other units as well, and if that were the case, reinforcements from the enemy would soon arrive.

So, we had to move now while the enemies were engulfed in unexplained confusion.

I had to move now and get out of Tokyo.

So, he quickly calmed down the people who were shaking in fear from the sound of gunfire and started moving forward along the road…

“Who are you…!”

What I encountered at the end of the road was a man whose very existence evoked question marks.

Guns are all around, but people don’t even care about guns and insist on using swords.

The sense of discomfort I felt from that fact alone was enormous, and I don’t know if it was because of that, but a sense of crisis that was almost instinctive ran along my spine.

That was why he urgently stretched out his hand and stopped his colleagues who were trying to move forward.

I don’t know why, but after my body became like this, my senses became unusually sharp and started going crazy and sending out warnings.

Don’t be hostile towards that man.

Don’t even think about fighting that man.

“···Did you do it?”

“Hmm?”

“The corpses under your feet. Did you do it?”

“Well.”

She received a shrug of her shoulders and a skeptical response, but she was already convinced.

That’s because the corpses scattered here and there had traces that couldn’t be carved with anything but a sword.

‘All these people in one blow…’

It was a memory she didn’t want to recall, but she knew it because she had once stabbed someone with a sharp object.

Suffice it to say that stabbing someone with something sharp is easier said than done.

If you do it wrong, the person who stabbed you could be seriously injured, and it goes without saying that if you end a person’s life with a single blow…

Nevertheless, the man sitting with his butt roughly on the bonnet of a military vehicle looked perfectly fine, without any injuries.

So… it felt even creepier.

Just by looking at that alone, I could tell that the way that man lived his life was different from theirs.

“If you’re going to ask something like that, isn’t it the right order to start by opening up about who you are?”

Actually, that was it.

When the man asked me to introduce myself, I obediently opened my mouth to avoid offending his feelings.

“It’s Karin. Miyashita Karin.”

“Miyashita…?”

What if all you heard was Miyashita?

I must have said that in my heart.

I guess the surname Miyashita seemed like something similar to Kim, Lee, or Park in Korean, so I just passed it over.

But even the name has a similar sound, Karin.

Is this really Karen’s younger sister?
