Who did that?

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day.

As she said, I really didn’t think much of it until then, but Karen had committed a grave lapse in judgment by taking advantage of people and dragging Yukiko into her life and offering herself to me. However, I had no choice but to admit that her judgment was right this time. .

‘No matter what, it’s still like that…’

I never thought you would kneel down like this to me, who was so wary and watching you closely.

Is this how important your younger brother is?

Well, it’s enough to make me desperate.

My younger brother, who was thought to be completely dead, came back to life, but he was under the spell of bad guys and lost his original appearance.

From Karen’s point of view, she would like to restore her younger brother to his original form as soon as possible.

Even if it means kneeling to me, the person I was so wary of.

“Uh, sister…?!”

“Karin, you stay still. Sister… Because she will solve everything…”

“Ha, but…”

“Stay still!”

It feels a bit like a mother rather than an older sister…

Did you take care of your younger siblings yourself since you were young because your parents were busy with work?

For such a case, the age difference between the two isn’t that big…

Anyway, Karen’s decision to come to me and complain to me in tears was indeed appropriate.

Because men are basically weak to women’s tears.

What’s more, if it belongs to a woman who is obviously beautiful and has had sex with him several times… then it goes without saying.

Should I say that it is not for nothing that people say that Tteokjeong is scary?

Especially when a woman like Karen, who always acted upright and never showed weakness, asked me for help in this way… the desire to help her in some way suddenly rose from deep inside my stomach.

That was my true intention… but that doesn’t mean I can help you for free.

That’s because the country cheapens human value.

“Do you want me to help you?”

There was so much I wanted to say, but it was for that reason that I started to hesitate.

“What are you asking for help and how?”

“You… can fix Karin.”

It is not a voice that is trying to grasp at straws, but a voice that contains a certain level of confidence.

Therefore, I couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Well… if you want to find a way, there’s nothing you can’t find, but I couldn’t figure out on what basis Karen was so sure.

So I thought about it for a while and eventually asked Karen honestly.

“I don’t know why you think that way.”

“That’s right… If there wasn’t a way, you wouldn’t have brought me here so willingly.”

It was precisely this answer that I received back so quickly.

“···!”

To be honest… I was a bit surprised.

From my perspective, I had no choice but to do so because Karen’s remarks accurately penetrated my true feelings.

So, I was startled without realizing it, but seeing my reaction made me even more confident.

Karen’s eyes flashed for a moment as she knelt in front of me and grabbed my waist tightly to prevent me from going anywhere.

“Of course… there is a way, right?”

“···I’m not sure.”

“I swear right here. If you find a way to fix Karin or let me know… I will do whatever you want.”

This is so… When I hear something like that, I suddenly want to get grumpy…

“If you set conditions without thinking like that, you will regret it.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s better than leaving Karin alone. If you want me to take it off, I’ll take it off, and even if you want to violate me in front of people, I’ll gladly comply…!”

“Sister…!”

Ha… this really wasn’t the picture I wanted…

“···I understand what you mean. First… let’s think about it.”

There were roughly two things I thought of as a treatment for Karin.

One is to develop a vaccine that can cure the zombie virus that has taken over the world.

Of course, I knew that it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

I’m not an expert in that field, but I knew that developing a vaccine was an extremely difficult and arduous task.

‘It was originally like that…’

In another world, I had the gift of being the fiancé of one of the heirs of the world’s largest pharmaceutical group.

It’s a relationship based on a contract rather than love, but I guess that’s the case for now.

So, what if we secure samples from this world and ask our party to develop a vaccine?

Still, wouldn’t it be possible to receive results faster than trying to hit the ground running?

However… one variable is that the zombie virus is not a real ‘virus’ but something else…

So what I came up with was the second method.

Karin said the other day that while she was hiding in a mansion in Tokyo to avoid zombies, she was captured by soldiers and taken to a secret laboratory.

And there, after receiving an unknown yellow stone implanted in his body, he gained strange abilities that he did not have before and the same appearance as he has now.

And after those words, an epic story followed, including how she destroyed the laboratory and saved those who were in the same situation as her, but the part that caught my attention was none other than the ‘unidentifiable yellow man’. The part was that a ‘stone’ was forcibly implanted into the body.

A yellow stone of unknown identity.

It wasn’t that difficult to guess what it was.

That’s because I’ve already seen objects with similar characteristics several times.

An object called a fragment of erosion… that is embedded somewhere in the bodies of those called special entities.

The unidentified yellow stone that Karin was talking about probably refers to none other than that.

It seems that the military unit surrounding the outskirts of Tokyo used the erosion fragments obtained by killing special entities within Tokyo for experiments… The important thing here is that the mission to retrieve the erosion fragments from the link management app is. It was possible for me, who had been given it, to retrieve it.

The moment I touched the fragment of erosion from the large monster, which was the first special object I encountered, the energy contained within it was absorbed by me, and the stone soon turned into powder and disappeared… so that was enough to ‘recover’ it. Wouldn’t it be okay to express it like this?

And if it’s as you remember?

Maybe it was possible.

This means removing all of the fragments of erosion that may be stuck somewhere in Karin’s body.

And if that disappears… wouldn’t Karin’s body also return to its original state?

I even made that assumption on my own without telling anyone, but the reason I didn’t put it into action was simple.

Because there was no guarantee that it would turn out the way I guessed.

It doesn’t matter if it turns out as you guessed, but what if it doesn’t?

What if an unexpected side effect occurs during the process of removing pieces of erosion debris?

If one were to make a mistake, Karin’s lifeline, which had managed to remain intact even after she ended up like that, could have been cut off.

If you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you try the experiment on someone other than Karin first?

I guess I haven’t thought of that method.

However… I wonder if there’s something a bit… wrong about doing that.

So I was in a situation where I couldn’t try anything… I never would have thought that Karen, who was so wary of me, and not someone else, would give me homework.

Didn’t the time I had working as a teacher go somewhere before the world turned into this mess?

Well… I’m a teacher because I like to talk, but I’m a health teacher.

‘Anyway… I decided to listen because I decided to listen…’

I said I would think about it only in front of Karen, but I knew it, and she knew it, and she knew that that was essentially the same as consent.

That’s why we immediately started taking action to come up with countermeasures.

“First of all… I need a sample.”

“Sample?”

“Yes.”

The blood of those who are half human and half zombie.

And even the corpses of zombies that had recently died.

That was the identity of the sample I requested from Karin.

‘If only it were possible, it would be better if the half-human half-body was still a corpse…’

Because you can’t ask someone to die for the sake of developing a vaccine.

I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with that for now.

“If it’s a zombie corpse… I happened to find some while cleaning up the area recently.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I was just storing it up so I could save it and burn it all at once…”

“Then you won’t mind if I take it. Just pack it well so the contents don’t leak.”

Well, in this case, one side has been prepared, so now all you have to do is get the remaining side…

“And our blood…”

“Is there any problem?”

“That’s actually true… As I told you before, we are victims of experiments, so there are many people who start games just by looking at things like syringes.”

“Ah.”

Well, I guess so.

“So… I wonder if I can try to do that part on my own…?”

“What…?”

What kind of crazy thing is he talking about now?
