To be honest, the situation was not all optimistic.

Yes, Margrave is not weak.

If Noh Chang-hoon and I were together, it would have been difficult to guarantee victory or defeat.

But we had Kang Si-woo.

If you play rock-paper-scissors with Margrave, Kang Si-woo would say it’s a foul.

This is Kang Si-woo. Definitely win the game.

It was exactly like that.

So even though I was a little anxious, I didn’t think I would lose.

It was clear that Noh Chang-hoon did not think he would lose.

In the past, you would have saved food just in case, right?

But now, I could see that they were generously giving out everything, including water and food.

It means you don’t have to think about the future.

So, I just kept eating without worrying.

There’s nothing to do until Kang Si-woo arrives anyway.

Noh Chang-hoon still seemed to have something to say, well.

“Do you want to have a strategy meeting?”

The guy frowned.

No, but honestly, I didn’t think a strategy meeting would be necessary.

Even if you call it an operation, it’s probably nothing special.

So I smiled and joked.

“Honestly, that’s all there is to it.”

“What.”

“While you and I are getting along well, Kang Si-woo will also cut up Margrave.”

“… I’m going crazy.”

“You have nothing to say, right? Now we just have to think about how we will be treated.”

The moment he said that, Noh Chang-hoon swung his fist.

I thought he was going to hit me, but he really hit me.

So I grabbed my forehead and glared at it, but it didn’t seem to have any effect.

I was going to say something, but it was better not to.

I could tell just by looking at their expressions.

Because he looked like he couldn’t bear it because it was so pathetic.

But honestly, no matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think it would be much different from what I thought.

Kang Si-woo will take care of everything anyway.

So all I had to do was eat like this and relax.

So I slowly lay down, but Noh Chang-hoon’s expression was unusual.

Just by looking at it, you can see that the person is feeling pathetic.

No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like I couldn’t just ignore it, so I fired back.

“No, why? Honestly, that’s the only thing I can do.”

“You seem so calm, that’s right.”

“What?”

“Have you still not noticed, or are you overconfident?”

“… hmm? Of course, you’re full of confidence, right?”

Noh Chang-hoon let out a long sigh.

Then I rubbed my fingers around my eyes.

When things started like this, I felt something was strange.

When I thought about it, it was strange that Noh Chang-hoon did this.

Maybe it was in the past, but things were good between us these days, right?

Maybe I forgot something important that I didn’t know.

So I asked a question right away. Because nothing good comes from pretending to know these things.

“What’s going on?”

“Yeah, no matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.”

“What’s so strange?”

“… Margrave is stronger than I thought.”

“… Was that the problem?”

No, whatever.

I wondered if something was going on, but that was the only problem.

Honestly, it would be even weirder if the plot was the same as the original when dozens of people were drawn into the novel.

Of course, Margrave may be stronger than the original.

That wouldn’t be a very strange thing.

So, I was looking at what the hell was going on, and an ominous hypothesis suddenly occurred to me.

Even in the original work, fast individuals were promoted in an instant.

But nothing has ever evolved this quickly.

Above all, it’s only been a year since the incident broke out… ?

Of course, originally, Viscount or Count, let alone Margrave, should have been the strongest.

But the fact that Margrave has already come out targeting the Duke… also.

No matter how much I thought about it, this hypothesis was the only thing that came to mind.

“Ho, is it possible that Seoul may already have a king or queen?”

“I can’t be sure.”

“… Then shouldn’t we go to Seoul a little later?”

“Can you do that? Seoul is the most populous region in Korea.”

“Ah.”

“The group of survivors and the zombies are probably still fighting each other right now.”

“I think I should go there at least once even if it’s dangerous.”

“I can’t figure out how to organize this place. And this time, you won’t go alone.”

“… Reliable cub.”

“Why are you blushing? Of course you thought I would send you to such a place alone?”

“No, someone blushed! If you’re going to talk nonsense, stay away.”

Even though I said that, I kept thinking that I had made good friends.

To be honest, I thought I would go to Seoul alone this time too.

Seoul was different from other regions where the roads were open and you could travel around at any time.

So not only did you have to walk for a long time, but it was also described as a devil’s paradise in the original work.

Of course, it would be a bit inconvenient for someone to come to help. It would be nice if we could get in touch.

Even if you want to go with someone else, is it because you roughly guess that it won’t work?

I felt really good when Noh Chang-hoon said that.

It would be nice if Kang Si-woo could come too, but he is very busy.

It will probably end at a thin line between me and Noh Chang-hoon.

Well, then I guess you weren’t trying to set up a strategy or anything.

“Hey, Changhoon.”

“Why.”

“You don’t plan on setting up an operation or something, do you? That’s what you were worried about anyway.”

“Okay, what are you going to do by setting up a strategy? You said that.”

“If your body is good, your hair doesn’t have to suffer! Haha, I’m in good shape, so why bother? Oh my.”

Something felt strange.

So I quickly got up and looked around.

It would have been nice if it was just my mood, but it doesn’t seem like that was the case.

It was clear to see that the temperature was slowly rising.

I guess Margrave must have noticed that I was gone.

But it didn’t seem like we would lose as much as we thought.

I wouldn’t know if I were alone. Noh Chang-hoon is also here now.

So just when we thought it was okay for someone to come, the wall of the building suddenly collapsed.

It appears that the fifth brothers appeared after breaking the wall.

Not everything looked the same as I thought.

Even though they were similar in that they were humanoid, they all seemed to resemble different insects.

Probably the fifth one is similar to a grasshopper.

The rest seemed to be a spider, a mantis, a dragonfly, and a wasp.

Of course, it didn’t seem like they were the only ones who came here.

Judging from the strange noises coming from around me, it looks like Margrave has led the military.

Well, it doesn’t matter, right?

There was nothing wrong with thinking about relaxing my body.

Maybe it was because I had been resting for a while, but my physical condition wasn’t bad at all.

So I smiled and said to Noh Chang-hoon, who just sighed.

“Hey, Noh Chang-hoon! By any chance, just because you’ve been bitten by your desk doesn’t mean you’re stiff!”

“Is it hard? And do you laugh at the current situation?”

“Ah, let’s think positively. They’re weak anyway!”

“Fuck.”

“So, ah?”

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my chest. And my vision started spinning.

Then, when I came to my senses, my whole body felt like it was tingling and I felt something flowing.

Maybe it was because I hit my back, but it was hard to breathe properly.

Still, it wasn’t to the point of death, so I hurriedly moved my body.

Because I knew what would happen if I stayed here any longer.

It was only after I escaped that I realized that I had been thrown onto the roof of a building.

It looks like he got stuck in a water tank or something, but thanks to that, he came to his senses rather quickly.

Yes, the cold water mixed with blood flowed, so I had no choice but to come to my senses quickly.

these guys… ”

Blood continued to flow from my nose and mouth.

My vision was dizzy and my head was spinning, but I was okay.

I felt like I wasn’t really at the point of death.

They were smart kids.

You can tell just by looking at the wasps and dragonflies that are attached to me, right?

It was clear that it was because there was no entity that could overpower me.

I would have assigned an individual who was strong in close combat to Noh Chang-hoon, and assigned an individual with fast speed to me.

When things turned out like this, I regretted my choice to run away.

If I had learned speed by fighting against dragonflies, I would have been able to deal with these guys.

Well, it wasn’t that important. You can learn it now by fighting.

So, I was looking at them with my teeth clenched, and something strange occurred to me.

“… Oh my.”

I clearly had two people in my field of vision, but when I blinked once, they both disappeared.

After all, it wasn’t just a trick. If that was the case, you should have seen it when you turned your head.

That means these cubs moved really fast and disappeared from sight.

So I looked around to see where on earth he had gone.

If I went to Noh Chang-hoon, I had to go there too.

He’s strong, but he can’t deal with four of these guys.

… Fortunately, it seemed like they were both still targeting me.

It was obvious just by looking at it flying awkwardly in the air.

They probably think it’s safe because they don’t have the means to attack me from a distance.

So I roughly broke the water tank with my fist and lifted up the remains.

“You guys don’t think I have any means of long-distance attack, right?”

“Don’t think what you’ll do to my brother with such clumsy slinging.”

“Sixth and I, fourth is the fastest among our brothers!”

I was really fortunate.

Just by looking at them, it looks like they are living for their own pride, but usually kids like that have a light mouth.

So, just when I thought I could dig up some information, they disappeared again.

Then, when I came to my senses, I felt someone clinging to my back.

I felt it right at that moment. Oh, I could really die today.
