POV Ayanokouji:
- "GUH-, DO YOU THINK I'LL LEAVE THIS LIKE THIS, MONSTER?, THIS TIME I WILL WI-"
With the last blow, I knocked Ryuuen unconscious before he finished his last sentence.
I'm not doing this because I want to, but free food is free food.
I'm sorry Ryuuen, but don't worry, I made sure not to hit you too hard.
It won't leave many marks like last time.
'It's the least I can do'
I picked up Ryuuen's unconscious body and took him with me.
I left this hidden area in the theater and started looking for a person.
I walked a bit before I met the person I was looking for.
- "Albert", I called him.
The aforementioned turned to look at me.
- "So, can I leave it in your hands?", I asked him.
Albert nodded giving me a thumbs up.
Paying attention, I handed him the fainted Ryuuen and he took him away.
'Albert is a good person'
With my work done, I started walking back towards the seats.
'I feel like I'm forgetting something'
No, that's not possible.
I have a perfect memory and I remember every moment of my life...
'Oh'
'Horikita is waiting for me...'
As I said, I have an almost perfect memory and I remember almost every moment of my life.
Having remembered my encounter with Horikita I hurriedly walked towards the stalls.
'I just hope she's not too upset.'
POV Horikita:
This guy, inviting someone out of the blue and standing her up.
'I swear if I had a compass, I would stab you Ayanokouji-kun'
*Sighs*
I decided to calm down, and headed to the taiyaki stand.
'Maybe he decided to get ahead of himself'
*After a few minutes*
I arrived at the stall, but there is no sign of Ayanokouji-kun anywhere.
'I swear I will kill him'
I waited for about 5 more minutes, but still there was no sign of him.
Determined not to waste any more time I prepared to leave again.
- "I guess it was all a bad jok-"
- "Horikita"
'Where the hell did he come from?!'
I almost jumped in fright, when Ayanokouji-kun appeared behind me.
- "Y-you're late," I told him.
I tried to calm my heart that wouldn't stop beating.
'Really, was I that scared?'
As I thought about that, he spoke again.
- "I missed the time, I'm sorry"
- "O-okay, but just this once I will forgive you"
- "Have you ordered yet?," he asked.
- "No, I was waiting for you to order," I answered calmer.
- "Well, then let's order," he said.
I nodded at his words and together we placed our orders to the seller.
After a few moments we received our orders.
I ordered a normal taiyaki and Ayanokouji-kun ordered one with chocolate filling.
We both decided to walk around a bit while we ate our orders.
I put a piece in my mouth.
- "It's delicious," I said unconsciously.
The flavor of this sandwich is incredible. The texture, flavor and delicate preparation is simply spectacular.
- "Not bad," commented my partner next to me.
- "Ayanokouji-kun, can we talk for a moment?"
I had to take advantage of this moment to tell him something important.
- "Are you sure, here or should we go somewhere else?" he asked.
- "Let's go to a private place," I answered.
- "Okay, follow me," he said.
Paying attention to his words we began to walk.
After walking for a while, we arrived at an area far from the theater.
We stopped and he turned to look at me.
'This is the moment'
With my determination at its peak, I began to speak.
- "Ayanokouji-kun, why don't you trust me?"
I've wanted to ask him this for a while, but I never got the chance.
- "What are you talking about, Horikita?" he tried to evade the question.
- "You've been acting in the shadows for a while now and don't try to deny it," I replied.
He remained still for a moment before answering.
- "It's okay. I've been doing various things behind your back," he said.
It was more sincere than I expected.
- "Why did you not tell me?"
- "Because it's not enough, Horikita. You don't have the strength to fight the other classes"
It's true, so far I've been losing in every exam. If it weren't for their interventions, the class would already be over.
- "Yes, I know I'm nothing compared to you or Nii-san, but-"
- "I thought you understood that Horikita"
Understand? I don't understand what he means.
- "You are not your brother and you will never be like him," he said
His cold tone made the words hurt even more.
Small tears began to fall from my eyes.
- "I thought I told you, every human being is different and special in their own way"
His entire atmosphere changed, he felt that he was not the same apathetic boy as always.
- "You are Horikita Suzune, you don't need to look like your brother or me. Follow what you think is right for you"
- "And if you think you're going to fail, then make sure you get up stronger next time"
He... is right.
All this time I've been alone growing up in someone else's shadow.
And that prevented me from growing further.
I finally understand Nii-san's words.
He knew about this, that's why he told me.
- "It is time for people to meet, not the sister of the ex-SCP, but Horikita Suzune, the leader of class C"
- "You... you are right Ayanokouji-kun"
- "It's nothing, Horikita," Ayanokouji sighed as he returned to his same expressionless look as always.
- "And about trust, it has to be two-sided," he added.
- "What do you mea-"
I stopped in my thoughts.
I remembered Karuizawa-san's words.
"You can't trust someone who doesn't trust you"
"If you are so afraid, your relationship with him will never work."
It's true, I'm afraid to trust him because I feel like one day I'll witness something terrible.
- "Ayanokouji-kun, you're right. I didn't trust you," I said.
His actions are always unexpected. He could easily get rid of me if he wanted to.
- "But...", I added.
This is something I have to do.
No.
This is what I want.
I, Horikita Suzune, want to trust Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
- "I want to try, I want to trust you Ayanokouji-kun," I said, making my thoughts clear.
He seemed somewhat stunned by my response.
- "It's not that easy, Horikita," he said.
Yes, it is not easy to trust someone from one day to the next.
He wasn't going to trust me.
I decided to leave there then.
- "But I think I can try," he said, stopping my thoughts.
- "Really?" I asked incredulously.
- "Yes, but first I want to see how much you trust me," he said.
- "What do you mean?" I asked.
In response to my questions, he handed me a can of soda.
- "Take this," he said.
I picked up the soda can, it didn't appear to have been tampered with at first glance.
- "What do I have to do?" I asked him.
- "What? Well, you have to drink it, Horikita," he replied sarcastically.
I guess this is some kind of trust test.
I hesitated for a moment to take it.
'Who knows what he could have put on it'
But I decided that if I didn't take this step, everything would continue as it is.
I raised the can to my mouth and slowly drank the contents.
- "Ready, that's it," I told him as I handed him the empty sign.
- "Very well, Horikita. Now let me tell you what I had," he said.
- "WAIT!, WHAT?!"
'Did he really put something in it?!'
- "Shh, don't make a noise Horikita. This area is desolate but who knows when someone might show up"
- "O-okay, now tell me what you put in it," I said clearly nervous about what he could have put in.
- "I put a powerful aphrodisiac on it," he said.
'How can he say something like that without changing his expression?!'
I felt my body start to heat up.
My face was red and little by little I lost reason for my actions.
A strange feeling ran through my entire body.
And then...
I saw him.
I had never seen him as someone who looked bad.
In fact, I could easily say that he is one of the most handsome guys if not the most.
'WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!'
I no longer have control over my thoughts.
Remembering the previous videos didn't help.
I just want to hug him.
Feel his skin next to mine.
Make it mine and no one else's.
Yeah.
I can't control it anymore.
Abruptly I leaned over his chest.
- "Ayanokouji-kun~", I called him.
Even my voice feels strange.
- "You better take responsibility," I said, starting to move my lips against his.
Yeah.
I no longer care about anything, whether this is a product of the substance that was done to me or not.
I just wanted this time...
He focused his attention on me.
So I will trust you, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
Our lips were millimeters away from touching and then...
....
...
..
.
- "Horikita", he called me.
No.
- "Call me Suzune, Kiyotaka-kun~"
I still don't believe how my body can be doing this.
But just this once...
For this time...
I will let my heart tell me what to do.
- "It's fine, Suzune," he said.
- "Yes~"
- "It was all a joke"
- "Yeah, I kno-... WAIT, WHAT'S A JOKE?!"
- "The drink had nothing," he said.
'How did the drink have nothing?!'
'Wait if that's true...'
'Then I...'
'I was doing and thinking this because...'
I felt like my face was boiling at this moment.
I gathered all the strength I had and then...
- "BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
POV Ayanokouji:
That was the loudest scream I've ever heard.
I could still feel my eardrums vibrating
'Whiteroom didn't train me for this'
*sighs*
'I think my little prank got a little out of hand.'
And to think that one day would come
In which internet-sensei would fail me
Now, I just have to move forward.
- "Horikita," I called her.
- "W-what do you want, Bakakouji-kun?" she replied.
It seems like she's still upset about what happened before.
'And what is this about Bakakouji?'
- "I know my little joke got a little out of han-"
- "S-stop, let's just forget that happened, okay?," she said interrupting my words.
- "Okay," I replied.
I didn't want to make him more angry.
- "B-but, so does it mean that you already t-trust me?", she asked nervously.
- "I will do my best," I said.
Well...
It's the least I can do.
Right?
- "I-that's more than enough. So let's go back?" she asked, calmer.
I nodded and together we returned to the room with the others.
POV Third Person:
With everyone back in the room, our beloved Michael began to speak.
- Michael: Well, it's time for the next video.
The people in the room nodded.
- Michael: Before we start, this reaction will be a little different
Everyone wondered what the archangel meant.
- Michael: First let's see which video won
Everyone stared at the screen.
- Michael: Well, as the video says, we will see a kind of alternative version of the other zombie video
- Michael: In this one, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is one of the first infected. Now, will the ANHS students survive the Perfect Undead?
- Sotomura: See it in the next chapter of
- Shibata: Cote React:
- Hashimoto: Multiverse of Infinite Possibilities
- Ryuuen: 'WHAT THE FUCK?!'
Ok, joke aside.
- Michael: Well, as I mentioned Ayanokouji Kiyotaka will become one of the main dangers for the students of ANHS, do you understand that far?
The people in the theater nodded.
- Kiyotaka: 'Me being a zombie, I wondered what would happen'
- Michael: 'You will cause the end of the world' Before we begin, is there anyone who is sensitive here?
Several people raised their hands.
- Ichinose: Why do you ask, Michael-san?
- Michael: Well, let's say that the video is not suitable for everyone 'Too much gore'
The people were shaken by the comment.
- Michael: So for people who are sensitive, have this *snaps fingers*
After that a paper bag appeared on every seat.
- Yume: W-wait, aren't you going to let us skip the video?
- Sato: Yes, even I am a little scared...
- Michael: Sorry, I don't get paid enough
- Ike: But aren't you an archangel?
- Michael: And? We also deserve a good salary.
- Hashimoto: Okay, don't be angry, friend.
- Michael: Well, I will be attentive to any of your emergencies and I didn't mention it before but for this video you can change seats as you want
- Machida: For what?
- Michael: Well, I don't know. Maybe go with someone and when a scary scene appears say: "Kowaiyo, mamotte kudasai,"(it means something like: How scary! Please protect me) or whatever comes to mind.
Although not everyone understood, they still nodded.
- Michael: One last thing, the timeline is in the future
- Ike: What do you mean?
- Michael: It's a few months after they came back from this special exam 'If I hadn't kidnapped them' *whistles*
- Shibata: It's the first time we see the future, right?
- Ishizaki: Oh, I'm excited
- Michael: And one more thing, remember that it is another universe, so don't worry.
Everyone in the room nodded.
- Michael: Okay, let's get started.
The screen turned on.
POV Karuizawa Kei:
It's been a while since I started dating Kiyotaka. This is shocking news for people who thought we had no relationship. So, in order not to make a scandal, we decided to hide our relationship.
But no more!
Summer vacation ended and I was finally able to reveal my relationship with Kiyotaka to my close group.
In a short time they will spread the news, and we will be the topic of the moment for a few days, that way other people will be able to easily identify us as a couple.
Plus, now I can go on normal dates with him, have lunch with him, and act clingy anywhere.
I won't hold back anymore!
Yeeeeeey!
People were speechless at what they had just heard. While a certain blonde gyaru was blushing like hell.
- Sato: K-kei-chan is dating Ayanokouji-kun
- Chiaki: 'I expected it, but why does it surprise me?'
- Kiyotaka: 'So in that universe I proposed to Kei, good for my other self'
- Kei: 'K-kiyotaka and me... d-dating... dating?!'
*Kei.exe stopped working*
- Michael: Ok, calm down, it's not like it's something ba-
Several angry glances mainly from girls were directed towards the archangel.
- Michael: 'They don't pay me enough' R-remember that it is another universe, there is no need to be alarmed... right?
The atmosphere was calm again after his words.
- Michael: 'That was close, a little more and the Third World War began to get the T-rex'
The best part about revealing my relationship is that I can now more accurately protect myself from all those homewreckers looking for my guy. Yes, I'm talking to you Amasawa.
- Amasawa: Ara~, but I do love you Karuizawa-sempai~
- Kei: 'I'm sorry but you can't fool me'
- Chiaki: K-kei-chan is a bit possessive, right?
- Sato: Y-yes, it shows that you love A-ayanokouji-kun a lot
- Kei: Y-yes, that seems like 'Kiyotaka, you better reward me later'
- Ichinose: *sighs* 'The other me didn't have a chance, right?'
—Kei, what's wrong?
— ¿Mmm?
—You're frowning, is something bothering you?
Apparently, Kiyotaka noticed my concerns and tried to resolve them. Hehe how cute!
- Haruka: You seem to be a good boyfriend, Kiyopon *stares*
- Amikura: Yes, Ayanokouji-kun *cold smile*
- Kiyotaka: 'I'm sorry, but that won't scare the Masterpiece'
- Ichinose: Ayanokuji-kun, you are very attentive *stare like Y2V10*
- Nanase: Yes, Ayanokouji-sempai is VERY attentive *cold smile*
- Kiyotaka: 'Now is a good time to be scared, right?'
Right now I'm walking with Kiyotaka towards the cafeteria. Today there is a new dish on the school menu that caught my attention.
Kiyotaka didn't care, he said it was a way to confirm the rumors the girls were telling.
I puffed out my cheeks as I remembered that.
'I just want to hang out with you, baka'
We arrived at the cafeteria and quickly got on the waiting list. Luckily for us, we didn't wait long before picking up our lunch and finding a table.
Cough* Cough*
I heard someone coughing loudly, anyone could tell by the sound that he was not in good health. People began to move away from him.
- Sato: Oh, you are very cute, Kei-chan
- Chiaki: Yes, she wants to spend some time with her boyfriend
- Kei: G-girls, stop 'At least it seems like you've calmed down'
Meanwhile.
- Ike: Oh no
- Miyamoto: That's a bad sign.
- Sotomura: Staying away from a person who is sick during a zombie apocalypse is the best idea
- Ryuuen: 'I wonder how Monster will get infected'
I sat with Kiyotaka at the corner of a table and we started chatting. This little moment may seem trivial, but I'm having the time of my life.
Cough* Cough*
I noticed that Kiyotaka moved his pupils scanning the environment around us.
I grabbed the special chicken on the menu with my chopsticks. When I was about to bite into it, I looked at Kiyotaka and an idea occurred to me.
I pointed the chopsticks in his direction and said:
— Hey Kiyotaka say a-ahhh
I felt my face flush with embarrassment.
Stop looking at it and eat it!
Cough* Cough*
Kiyotaka sighed and opened his mouth in a very cute Aaaaaa.
- Yume: How healthy
- Kozue: Yes, are you sure this video is not for sensitive people?
- Ike: Hoho, just wait for the zombies
- Keisei: Yes, it will become an "unhealthy" moment
- Akito:...
- Haruka:...
- Airi:...
- Kiyotaka: 'Well, it was better than before'
- Keisei: 'And we're supposed to be friends' *reflects on life again*
When it was about to enter his mouth. He lowered his teeth and bit into the chicken. He ate half of what I had offered him.
Feeding my boyfriend filled me with happiness. But I felt upset when he didn't fully accept it.
When I wanted to complain to him I saw how a black liquid came out of the bitten chicken that gave off a horrible smell.
Kiyotaka, to my surprise, made a disgusted expression and spit out the piece of chicken that entered his mouth.
—Kiyotaka, didn't it taste good?
— I have to admit that it is really horrible.
—But it had many good reviews...
—Do you want to try it then?
— No no no. Thank you for your sacrifice.
I bowed in thanks while chuckling. I thought it was strange that it tasted bad, but it was fun to see that expression on Kiyotaka's apathetic face.
Kiyotaka put the chicken aside and continued eating his order.
Akito: Man, that must have tasted horrible to make that face
- Haruka: Yes, that looks disgusting
- Airi: Poor, K-kiyotaka-kun
- Kiyotaka: *looks at Keisei* 'It looks like he's busy'
- Ike: Oh no
- Sotomura: It's like in that movie
- Miyamoto: Yes, what was his name?
- Shibata: Cooties
- Ryuuen: 'Seriously, he'll get infected from a piece of chicken?!'
- Ishizaki: Ryuuen-san, are you okay? *refers to the multiple bandages and wounds on Ryuuen's face*
All eyes are directed towards Ryuuen.
- Ryuuen: 'Kukuku, what will Monster do now?' *looks at Kiyotaka*
- Kiyotaka: 'I don't know, Ryuuen. Do what you want'
- Ryuuen: I fell
Attention was diverted from him instantly.
Cough* Cough*
Cough* Cough*
Cough* Cough*
Cough* Cough*
Cough* Cough*
Cough* Cough*
Coughing students could be heard around our table. Kiyotaka also noticed it and his pupils wandered around.
— Kei, let's get out of here.
He said with an authoritative voice.
– Huh? Okay...
I don't think I can go against him, plus the atmosphere also made me uncomfortable. I grabbed my tray of food and stood up.
*Bleurgh*
The boy who was coughing horribly when we were looking for a table, vomited in the middle of the cafeteria.
All the spectators froze. Not because of the grotesque situation, but because of the strangeness of it.
The boy continued vomiting. The liquid that was expelled from his body turned from green to red, at one point it was not food that came out of him, but flesh and living organs.
- Ike: God, it's already started.
- Sudo: Ahg, how disgusting
- Miyamoto: I'm happy and disgusted
- Kiyotaka: 'So this is why he said it was not for sensitive people'
Many people started vomiting into their paper bags.
- Yume: W-What happened to him?
- Kozue: T-this is worse than I imagined
- Ibuki: Calm down Shinna, breathe! *pats Hiyori on the back*
- Hiyori: C-calm down Ibuki-san, I'm fi- *puts the paper bag back in her mouth*
- Michael: 'A lot of work, little pay' *sighs*
The angel snapped his fingers changing the paper bags and replacing them with new ones.
- Michael: 'We need a janitor and not only for these scenes but for when there are other types of scenes...'
— ¡Ahhhhhhhh!
People were plunged into panic when they saw the bizarre scene. Kiyotaka grabbed my hand and pulled me indicating for me to move. My legs followed him as my gaze remained on the boy from before.
Cough* Cough*
My eyes moved to where the sound came from. It was Kiyotaka, who for some reason looked paler.
— Kiyotaka, Kiyotaka, you don't look well, is something wrong with you?
I tried to see his face, but I heard many students vomiting in the cafeteria. The process was the same. They all ended up stained with their own blood.
We reached the exit and wandered down the hallway quickly. We were escaping. Kiyotaka led the way directly to the bathrooms.
I'm not the most athletic, so being carried like this wasn't comfortable. However, I endured it.
I endured it because Kiyoataka looked worse and worse. I was very afraid, but I will trust him. I have no one but him. If I can't be with Kiyotaka, my life loses its meaning.
- Sudo: Oh, friend. You look bad
- Akito: And to think that it would infect you so quickly
- Haruka: That chicken!
- Airi: H-haruka-chan
- Haruka: That chicken had something, that chicken is to blame for everything
- Horikita: Well, that's a good theory
- Arisu: Fufufu, that's what actually happens
- Hashimoto: Hime?
- Ryuuen: Loli is right, look people started getting sick after eating that shit
- Kiyotaka: 'So I'm infected there?'
When we got to the bathrooms, Kiyotaka entered the men's room.
— Don't come in, Kei.
He said with a voice deeper than his usual monotone voice.
I followed his directions and stood in front of the door to the men's bathroom.
With nothing to do, I looked up on my phone what had happened in the cafeteria and the forums were full of students eating each other and the word "Zombies."
Remembering Kiyotaka's appearance, I went in to check his health. When I entered the first thing I saw was a blood stain on the floor.
Oh no, Kiyotaka!
Worried for my boyfriend, I followed the trail of blood to a toilet stall only to find Kiyotaka collapsed on the toilet.
—Kiyotaka!
- Akito: Oh no friend, that's all
- Haruka: Kiyopon, I don't want to see this! *hugs Kiyotaka's arm*
- Kiyotaka: Haruka... 'Should I tell her that her "big personality" is touching me?'
- Airi: K-kiyotaka-kun
- Sotomura: When you see that sign
- Shibata: It means
- Hashimoto: DANGER!
I felt panic when I saw him in a vulnerable state, I quickly went to check his health, but when I got closer I felt a sharp pain throughout my chest.
I looked down, on my chest there was a scratch mark, from which blood was dripping.
Kiyotaka had gotten up, but something had changed in him. Her beautiful eyes were now completely white.
His lips had melted giving a clear view of his teeth. His perfect teeth now in a nest of cavities.
—K-Kiyotaka?
I remembered about what I had seen on school forums. If the information is true...
I closed the eyes.
The last thing I could see was Kiyotaka's mouth opening to devour something.
Everyone in the room closed their eyes after seeing the last scene.
Nobody could say any words.
- Koenji: Ah! I'm really beautiful
Well, almost all of them.
- Ryuuen: Monster as a zombie...
- Hashimoto: Man, we are
- Shibata: so
- Sotomura: Fucked
- Alberto: 'LANGUAGE!'
POV Arisu:
It was a normal school day until Hashimoto came running into the classroom and started talking about zombies in the cafeteria. At first he was ridiculed, but the jokes ended when he showed photographic evidence of the event.
Recognizing the threat, I began to give instructions to protect ourselves. We need to protect ourselves.
- Hashimoto: They said I had gone crazy
- Sotomura: But what I said happened
- Machida: Man, it's okay. But leave the references
- Shibata: NO!, the references are GOD
Boys nod.
- Arisu: 'From my point of view now, how interesting'
Hashimoto sent a message to all the members of Class A. In it he explained that they should hide and head to the classroom when the chaos subsides.
While Hashimoto reported, my colleagues covered the hallway windows with cardboard and papers. We do not want to draw the attention of the infected. And according to audiovisual media, they are not that intelligent.
The next thing they did was create a barrier at both doors of the classroom. If they try to break down the door, the wall of tables will be strong enough to act as a second layer of protection.
Now everyone in the class is silent. While on the outskirts only desperate screams of the victims of the massacre can be heard.
With the basic preparations completed my thoughts became clearer.
To begin with, my physical condition is not suitable for escape. Going outside in the atmosphere of panic is not an option for me. In the chaos, our numbers may be greatly reduced. So we have to wait for the first outbreak to end to look for supplies.
The ideal would be to hope that the school, and by extension, the government, will come to our rescue, but I don't think that is a feasible scenario. I have to act thinking about the worst case scenario.
- Hashimoto: As expected of Hime, they will save us
Class A nods.
- Arisu: 'No, he's still out there'
- Kamuro: What's wrong? Are you worried about something?
- Arisu: Trivial things, Masumi-san
- Ryuuen: 'It seems like Loli has everything well planned'
Thinking about the institution reminded me of my father. Maybe he was taken by surprise too.
I just want him to be okay.
I tried to put my fears and worries aside, as a leader I have to show trust to others.
Another face appeared in my mind. It was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. My childhood friend and the person I want to defeat.
I wonder if his poker face will break in this situation. Fufufu. I don't think so.
With my brain in place I started to think about my next moves...
*Crash!*
A sound brought me out of my thoughts. It was an infected person who had entered through the covered window.
The first emotion that came to me was surprise. I thought I underestimated his intelligence. However, doubt came to my mind when I saw that he couldn't get up.
Was someone thrown or did he throw himself?
Other infected entered through its opening. Despite not making any noise, they anomalously accumulated heavily in our hallway. They were almost the same number as us and in one wrong move they would add more to their pack.
I lost.
How sad.
With my legs I couldn't escape. Taking shelter in my castle was my only immediate option and it was invaded. I condemned my classmates and failed to protect myself.
- Hashimoto: W-we lost
Class A felt dejected seeing how they were defeated.
- Ryuuen: It seems that you forgot to calculate something, Loli
- Machida: What do you mean? She took everything into account.
- Arisu: No, Dragon-boy is right. Don't take into account a small but perfect factor
- Horikita: 'Is she talking about zombie Ayanokouji-kun?'
My sadness was subdued when I saw the brown-haired boy I was thinking of.
Unlike the others, he did not run.
With a relaxed step he approached me ignoring the other students who were fighting for their lives around me.
Masumi next to me backed away in fear, leaving me alone in front of the monster.
Ayanokouji-kun approached me. I closed my eyes knowing my destiny. I felt a small cut.
And nothing else happened.
I decided to open my eyes to explore the situation.
At that moment I saw it. Ayanokouji-kun with white eyes, looking at me with his neutral expression. Just when I looked away, I could see an infected jumping in my direction. But Ayankouji-kun kicked him, grabbed him by his bangs, and stepped on his head. Leaving him motionless after the impact.
- Ike: The boss has arrived
- Miyamoto: The Alpha
- Hashimoto: The King
- Ryuuen: The Monster
- Shibata: The T-rex
- Albert: THE BRO
- Ishizaki: The strongest
- Koenji: Hahaha, The Elevator-boy
While the others saw them as if they were weirdos.
- Kiyotaka: 'It was necessary to say all that'
- Arisu: 'Fufufu, The Masterpiece, The Perfect Human, The Demon of the Fourth Generation'
- Haruka: 'How is it possible that they didn't say Kiyopon'
Seeing the way he treated the infected, I can say with certainty that Ayanokouji-kun is conscious or rational to some extent.
I imagine that with his own intelligence he organized this group and directly attacked class A.
Why?
I checked my wrist. There was a scratch that was slowly rotting my skin. Do you want to infect me?
He has some control over a group of infected, why does he target me over all the other students?
I could only come up with one answer.
My intelligence.
It's the only talent I have. Maybe he wants to see if I'm capable of being rational like him or he just doesn't want me to become a problem in the future. Whatever their goal, I will never know.
I feel like every second my body is getting weaker. My classmates practically succumbed to the group of infected.
With my mind disappearing I thought about the people I love the most.
Father, I hope you take care of yourself... With love, your daughter.
- Ike: So, Ayanokouji still has some rationality
- Miyamoto: An intelligent zombie, reminds me of the one in the other video
- Hondou: The Stalkers
- Sudo: Man, they are lost
- Hashimoto: King is recruiting volunteers for his pack
- Shibata: Hey, do you think he still has the T-rex?
- Hashimoto: No... I don't know.
- Beepu: That's the million dollar question
- Ishizaki: I don't need sleep, I need answers
- Ryuuen: 'Kukuku, that Zombie Monster will be a real threat'
- Arisu: 'Fufufu, I guess I couldn't beat the Masterpiece'
POV Ryuuen:
"The end of the world is close"
A bunch of misfits who have nothing better to do waste their days shouting those words.
No one can disagree with my opinion.
Anyone would call them crazy, but if the world suddenly ended, some would be praised as prophets.
Isn't it funny how times can change people's perspective?
I kicked with all my might. The head of the zombie I kicked went up into the air, hitting another dead man that was coming in my direction.
"Kuku, goal"
—Ryuen-san, wouldn't it be easier to use the stick?
—Ishizaki, you ruin my fun.
- Fun? You're having fun with this bastard!
— Ibuki, don't be rude and look to your right.
—Grrrr.
At this moment the 15 members of my class are moving towards the auditorium along the park path. It is not a place busy with students at lunch time, so the number of infected people is lower on this road.
Most of them are still inside the school facilities, causing a massacre inside.
Ishizaki: Oh, it's from Ryuuen-san's point of view now.
- Katsuragi: A good strategy I have to say
- Ryuuen: Oh, Johnny, you're finally speaking.
Several laughs were heard in the background.
- Katsuragi: This is why I don't want to talk.
- Ryuuen: Kukuku
- Horikita: I have to agree with Katsuragi-kun, it is a good strategy
- Ryuuen: Suzune flattering me? Now is the end of the world
- Horikita: It seems that once was not enough
- Ryuuen: Eh?, what do you mean- 'So it was you who asked Monster to do that... Well played'
- Ishizaki: Eh? I don't understand, what are you talking about?
- Ryuuen: It's nothing, Ishizaki. Do not lose more time
- Kiyotaka: 'Thank goodness he didn't continue, or Horikita would have asked me to hit him again.'
There was an announcement 30 minutes ago directing students to head to the main gym.
They want to bring us together to form a stronger defense to deal with the problem. My old self would ignore the ad and focus on my own survival. But now I can't do the same.
Those who stayed inside the classroom for lunch follow me like ducks. At least, most of them are not dead weights.
Also, luckily, we haven't encountered a large group of zombies.
- Arisu: Fufufu, even Dragon-boy has a heart
- Ryuuen: And one that works very well, kukuku
- Ishizaki: Hahaha, Roast
- Hashimoto: 'Shit, don't laugh, don't laugh'
- Kiyotaka: 'Hashimoto seems to be in an internal conflict'
On our journey, we encounter different types of zombies.
The first is the average. He has the weaknesses of any classic zombie. Walk slowly. It is sensitive to sound and moves in large groups.
The second most common is the fast one. From what I've seen, these focus on infecting and spreading their influence throughout the school. According to those I have encountered. Their living bodies were athletic. I came to the conclusion that your previous abilities play a role in the type of zombie you become.
- Kiyotaka: 'Probably people like Sudo or Hirata'
- Ryuuen: 'Alright another me, start analyzing things'
To support my theory are the screamers. These have the ability to make a screeching noise that gathers nearby zombies. They are mostly female. Gyarus like that Shinohara girl who all they did was chatter, that type of person falls into this category.
- Shinohara: Hey!, that was rude.
- Ike: But is he right?
- Shinohara: But, you're right.
Laughter between the two.
- Kei: What just happened?
- Sato: Better, let's leave them in their world
- Chiaki: Yeah
I wonder what kind of zombie I will become if they bite me?
'Unfortunately, I like my human form. So no thanks'
With the stick in my hand I hit the jaw of a zombie that was slowly approaching me.
As always, hitting someone without restraint is liberating. If the situation were more normal, it would be a memorable scene in my life.
— Ahhhhhh! No, it can not be. Of all of them it is not possible that you..... No, no, no.
Ishizaki shouted getting my attention.
At the front of our path I saw a brown-haired boy with a red-painted shirt walking slowly towards our position. His head was lowered, hiding his face, and he was carrying a backpack on his shoulder.
I can recognize his figure without being mentioned to me.
'Kuku this situation is bad...'
If my theory is correct, we meet the final boss in the middle of the prologue.
- Shibata: Do you hear that?
- Sudo: What?
- Sotomura: BOSS FIGHT MUSIC
- Ishizaki: 'We are soooo dead'
- Miyamoto: Get out of there
- Hashimoto: It's not time to think, it's time to run
—Back off!
I'm not going to go near him. If it really turns out to be a normal zombie I will kill him later. However, I don't plan on risking my class for this guy.
He raised his head. The damned one kept his apathetic face, even like a damned living dead.
By recognizing that we were withdrawing. He took something out of his backpack.
It was the head of his own girlfriend, Karuizawa Kei. He held her by her hair and shook her.
Recognizing the pain, Karuizawa screamed. A high-pitched and extremely annoying scream.
'Damned...'
- Sato: Kei-chan...
- Chiaki: A-are you okay?
- Kei: Yes, don't worry 'I've been through worse things, a zombie apocalypse is nothing'
- Kiyotaka: 'As the filler-boys would say, that guy is dangerous'
- Ryuuen: 'Fucking Undead Monster'
- Ishizaki: This won't end well, right Albert?
- Albert: WE ARE SO DEAD
– We're leaving before they meet...!
The zombie-free landscape quickly filled up blocking our exits.
I was able to recognize many familiar faces from class 2-A among our new enemies.
Where did they come from? Before it was completely clear.
— Form a circle and protect your backs if you don't want to die!
Katsuragi tried to organize a defensive figure to withstand the waves of zombies.
I looked back at the place where Ayanokouji was. Only to realize that it was no longer there.
'Damn'
I scanned the area looking for any trace of him.
—Ryuen-san, they're getting closer and closer!
- Shit!
I decided to focus on the horde attacking us.
Little by little we gain ground against the zombies. Our numbers and combat experience gave us a certain advantage over the slow ones.
The situation changed when a figure that I recognized as Hashimoto appeared from a tree. However, now he moved on all fours and with great leaps that surprised the members of my class.
- Beppu: An ambush
- Ike: Danm, that's a lot of zombies
- Ryuuen: 'Where did that Monster go?'
- Kiyotaka: 'It seems that the virus gives some kind of enhancer to some infected people'
- Hashimoto: What the hell happened to me?!
- Kamuro: The reptile changed from snake to frog in a moment
- Arisu: Fufufu
At that moment in my periphery I saw someone moving quickly towards Albert's back.
It was the damn monster that took advantage of Hashimoto's distraction to come out of hiding
—Albert, move!
I shouted alerting Albert of the danger.
Albert turned around and tried to punch him. The monster easily dodged it and kicked his leg, leaving him on one knee. He stepped on her knee and, with an agile movement, positioned himself on her back, biting her neck.
— Arrrgh!
— Albert!
Ishizaki screamed in distress.
With the loss of Albert, our defeat was written in stone. We could only escape.
— Run to the gym!
I said as I ran away. I heard the screams of the unfortunate ones who managed to be caught.
'I will revenge. I will really destroy you'
- Ishizaki: ALBERT!
- Albert: SORRY BOSS
- Ryuuen: Don't worry Albert, just make sure you give him a good hit next time
- Albert: YEAH!, BOSS
- Hashimoto: So Albert was his target
- Shibata: At least Ryuuen managed to escape
- Ike: Yes, but at what cost?
- Sotomura: Everything, I lost everything
- Horikita: 'Not even Ryuuen-kun and Sakayanagi-san could against the zombies'
- Kiyotaka: 'It seems that the video is going to be shown from the perspective of the leaders of each class'
POV Ichinose:
It's been an hour since my world ended. I'm crying uncontrollably, my friends try to cheer me up, but their words sound forced and superficial.
I was at the Keyaki shopping center when it all started.
The news came just minutes after the first outbreak.
The videos on school forums of students devouring each other. It felt like a nightmare.
An announcement reached all the school's cell phones telling survivors to go to the gym for our safety.
Nagumo-senpai informed me that the student council would be in charge of supervising the entrance to the gym and checking wounds to prevent the infiltration of infected people. Apparently he needed my presence.
- Ike: The President
- Random Sempai: Oh, it's President Nagumo, he will save us
- Random Sempai 2: Yes, Nagumo-kun is great
- Random Sempai 3: That's why he is the president of the student council
Multiple praise and applause went to President Nagumo Miyabi.
- Nagumo: I'm just doing my job, it's nothing
- Kiyotaka: 'There is something behind that plan'
With my friends I quickly headed to the gym. We were not the only ones, a large crowd of students and commercial workers accompanied us. Most running out of fear.
The gym was surrounded by security guards who would check for any injuries before you passed.
Nagumo-senpai, Kiriyama-senpai and Asahina-senpai were fulfilling the same function.
When they saw me, they checked me and gave me my instructions.
My friends who followed me offered to help screen people.
It wasn't long before the first infected came into view of the gym.
The security guards used their batons and shields to subdue and finish off the infected.
I looked away as I saw the brutality of the scene.
I just kept checking trying to ignore what I witnessed.
Ryuen-kun also arrived at the gym with a group of no more than 6 people. They were all members of their class who had hideous expressions.
I followed the same process and let them pass.
It came a moment before they called me to enter. The number of people who arrived decreased. On the contrary, the number of infected people seen from a distance increased.
Apparently they weren't going to accept anyone else. I tried to advocate for them not to close the doors, but my complaints fell on deaf ears.
I entered the gym and met up with the members of my class. Hearing the losses brought my world crashing down, leading me to my current position as a crying mess.
- Ike: Maybe there is still hope
- Beppu: Good
- Yume: At least not everything looks lost
- Kozue: Yes, Honami-chan everything will be fine
- Ichinose: Yeah 'It's not the time to cry, it's the time to look forward'
Nagumo-senpai rose to the top of the stage to give a speech to encourage those present and proclaim his mourning for the fallen.
Apparently, Nagumo-senpai has full control of the school after the disappearance of Chairman Sakayanagi.
My mind started working. The message to meet inside the gym caused more chaos than I imagined.
Thinking about the gains and losses of Nagumo-senpai's actions.
'Is it possible that he sent that announcement to cause chaos?'
The infected prowled the school hallways.
People within the institution's walls saw the message as hope for survival.
Following their hope they left their hiding places to reach the gym. Which caused the zombies to hunt them and the chaos within the institution to grow.
That way, locking them in one place for a while.
I wondered why it took so long for the infected to arrive.
'Did Naguno-senpai sacrifice the people within the school premises to save those who were outside the range of the first outbreak?'
That thought gave me chills. I got so distracted checking the people arriving that I didn't think about those in greater danger.
No no. I can't think that Nagumo-senpai would do something like that, he's not a trustworthy person, but he's not a villain either, right?
The atmosphere in the theater darkened after hearing the last lines.
- Ryuuen: It seems that Mr. President is not as kind as he seems
- Random Sempai: Th-that can't be true
- Random Sempai 2: Y-yes, it's probably just a misunderstanding
- Arisu: Why don't you answer it yourself, President Nagumo?
- Nagumo: Yes, Honami is most likely right.
Most people remained silent after hearing his words.
- Nagumo: But just like she said, it was done for the greater good. Some had to be sacrificed for many more.
- Random Senpai 3: But-
Nagumo: Or would you have preferred everyone to have died anyway?
The students in the room didn't know what to respond.
- Kiyotaka: 'Prioritizing the greater good over that of the minority, that is the approach to meritocracy that Nagumo-sempai believes in'
- Arisu: 'Although it may seem inhuman to some, what he did was the right thing'
My mind wandered again thinking about the people I lost.
I spoke to them today, I didn't even say goodbye properly. All my friends and him...
'I didn't hear anything about him...'
My first love Ayanakouji Kiyotaka-kun. I asked about him, but no one knew about his whereabouts.
I could only pray to the gods for his health.
The next thing Nagumo-senpai did was use the equipment inside the gym to improve the general weaponry of those present.
Javelin, throwing balls, baseball bats, American football uniforms, nets. There were many useful items inside the gym that Nagumo-senpai distributed depending on their use.
It seemed like we were preparing for war. Thinking about the current situation is not an incorrect thought.
I tried to strengthen my determination to save as many visas as possible within the gym.
I can't break down, I can't seem weak in front of my friends. I can't let anyone else die.
- Sotomura: Character development?
- Ike: Dude, now is not the time
- Miyamoto: Yes... but you're right.
- Ryuuen: 'Ichinose with some development? It will be interesting'
- Katsuragi: It seems everything is going well
- Shibata: Yes, in the gym there are several things that can be used as weapons
- Hashimoto: But they don't take into account the Elite-Z outside
- Sudo: Elite-Z?
- Hashimoto: Yes, those zombies that received a buff
- Shibata: Good name
- Ichinose: 'Even at that time, I still think of Ayanokouji-kun'
- Kiyotaka: 'It seems that no one realized what she said about her feelings towards me, or they decided to focus on the rest... yeah, it's probably the second'
- Arisu: 'Fufufu, like a maiden, Ichinose-san'
*Strink*
The sound of glass being shattered could be heard throughout the place. A large number of infected people fell from the ceiling of the gym.
They broke the glass in the roof to avoid our defenses.
When they hit the ground, his body was destroyed. Legs and arms were flying, dripping blood onto the ground.
In some cases, they fell on top of a student, killing him or infecting the boy in the worst case.
Despite their sorry state, they tried to reach the people closest to their position in search of spreading their infection.
I heard the sound of a girl screaming, her scream was terrifying and loud, very loud.
His sudden appearance caused fear in those present. Dividing the interior.
The next thing that happened was the sound of the wall shattering.
It was Yamada-kun. His foreign body increased in size considerably, easily exceeding 2 meters.
A security guard approached Yamada-kun to subdue him.
Yamada-kun with his thick arms grabbed him by the shoulders. The guard struggled, but the difference in strength was gigantic.
Yamada-kun opened his mouth. The size of his jaw was larger than the guard's head.
With his strong arms he brought him close to him and, with one bite, separated the head from the body, killing the guard instantly.
Some students looked away, others vomited, others cried, and others remained unfazed like true sigmas.
- Ibuki: Damn, could you at least warn?
- Michael: That's more fun
- Ibuki: Damn, Shinna breathes 1, 2, 1, 2
- Hiyori: I'm sorry Ibuki-san, tell the others that I tried... *faints in her seat*
- Horikita: She... is she okay?
- Arisu: Well, on the bright side, she won't have to continue watching the video.
- Nanase: I think, that's a good thing at least
I didn't have time to continue watching that scene.
Behind him came a horde. The highest number I have seen since the infection began.
Up ahead were zombies running in search of new prey. Among them, I recognized Shibata-kun from my own class.
Chaos filled the gym. Those with weapons fought back, but the zombies ignored them and focused on infecting the defenseless.
I began to lead the emergency evacuation that Nagumo-senpai planned in advance.
My gaze couldn't turn away from the hell in front of me
- Ike: Damn, there are many more zombies
- Sudo: Man, we just have to run there
- Shibata: Oh, there I am
- Beppu: Yes, we already saw you Shibata
- Shibata: Why do I always die in all the zombie worlds?
- Miyamoto: I don't know, friend
- Sotomura: At least you showed up :(
- Ryuuen: 'That Monster, he commands them like a leader'
Among the infected I recognized a figure that cannot be confused. It was Ayanokouji-kun, my first love.
No
No
No
Why?
Why?
My dear...
I wanted to scream and cry. I had accumulated a lot of stress in the last hour. that had destroyed my will.
I knelt on the ground helplessly, watching the hell that broke out in front of me.
Ayanokouji-kun was facing Ryuuen-kun. Ryuuen-kun was wearing a sporting armor with a javelin as a weapon.
- Ishizaki: Ryuuen-san!
- Ryuuen: 'It seems we face each other again, Monster'
- Albert: YOU CAN DO IT BOSS
- Ibuki: Damn, beat that guy up
- Kiyotaka: 'You know that guy is listening to you, right?'
- Amasawa: 'I'm sorry, Dragon-sempai but you can't beat Ayanokouji-sempai~'
- Ichinose: 'This is not the time to give up, another me!'
Ayanokouji-kun dodged his attacks with ease and with a powerful blow knocked him down.
I thought it was over, but contrary to my expectations, Ayanokouji-kun brutally hit Ryuen-kun, knocking out the tyrant in the process.
- Ryuuen: 'Kukuku, old memories'
- Kiyotaka: 'Why do I feel a sense of dejavu?'
Ayanokouji-kun grabbed him by his armpits and pulled him away from the chaos.
—Honami-chan let's go!
Mako-chan shouted in my ear to break out of my trance.
Seeing that I was not in my own mind, she pulled my arm while asking me to leave the place.
- Ishizaki: Even Ryuuen-san couldn't
- Ike: Now we are lost
- Miyamoto: I feel like we've been saying the same thing for a long time.
- Sotomura: As long as I have some screen time I don't mind
- Amikura: At least we managed to escape, Honami-chan
- Ichinose: Yes, Mako-chan
POV Horikita:
It's been two hours since this madness started.
He was in the classroom when the massacre began. When the news came, the students of 2-B became upset and panicked, they didn't even listen to me.
After Sakura-san's expulsion, the class members don't trust me.
Especially without the return of Kushida-san, Wang-san and Hasebe-san
If their lives are in danger, I will be the last person they will listen to.
- Sudo: It's from Suzune's point of view now
- Ike: Wait, Class B?
- Haruka: Airi expelled?
- Airi: W-what?
- Mori: And what happened to the other three?
- Mii-chan: And why don't we trust Horikita-san?
- Kushida: 'W-what the hell happened in the future?!'
- Horikita: 'It seems that everything in the future is going from bad to worse'
- Hirata: Everyone calm down, remember that these are still things in the future
Class C felt a little more relieved.
- Kiyotaka: 'It seems that Horikita did something, since all the blame fell on her'
I sighed inwardly and decided to survive alone.
A message came to my phone telling me to head to the main gym.
I looked out the window to get a better idea of the situation outside.
It was terrible.
Going alone into that chaos would only cause my death, I decided that going down was not an option.
I knew that sooner or later the chaos will spread to the second floor.
Quickly, I left the classroom and headed to the roof. I knew it wasn't the best option, but I needed a place where I could feel safe within this school.
- Ryuuen: Kukuku, did you abandon your class Suzune?
- Arisu: Fufufu, not even Dragon-boy did that
Class C looked at their leader.
- Horikita: At that moment it seemed like I had no choice, but that shows that we must work together and fight as one.
- Kiyotaka: 'Well it's not like she had a choice. I'll give you some help for your efforts' *looks at Kushida and Kei*
- Kushida: Y-yes, Horikita-san is right, we should stay together
- Kei: Yes, if we don't fight, who else will
- Hirata: Everyone, let's try harder, okay?
Class C cheered and applauded their leaders.
- Arisu: 'Fufufu, how nice it is when everything goes well, right?'
- Amasawa: 'It seems that Tsun-Tsun-sempai managed to evade that bullet'
On my way I saw Ryuuen leading his class downstairs. Maybe he has confidence to survive in that chaos.
I continued my way to the roof. Upon arrival it was surprisingly empty.
I could see the gym from afar.
The zombies did not leave the school because they were still looking for prey. It is as if they will try to clear the area of humans before looking for new prey.
An hour passed when I saw all the zombies from the institution leave in perfect synchronization towards the gym.
The strangest thing about the situation was when they started climbing the gym.
They did not have the capabilities to carry out such an action, but the accumulation of bodies on top of others made it possible.
Once again, in perfect synchronicity, they jumped through the roof windows. I could see how Yamada-kun entered through the wall without caring about his body.
- Ike: The calm before the storm
- Miyamoto: Yeah, man
- Ryuuen: 'With Monster directing them, how can they not'
- Arisu: 'Everything is possible with a good leader, fufufu'
Seeing the chaos on the other side of the school I decided to leave the school building to head to the dorms in search of a private place with supplies.
As I ran down the path towards the dorms, a blonde figure jumped me. It was Hashimoto, the guy I faced in the first year final exam.
He moved on his four limbs, he could climb walls like a spider.
His attack took effect and I collapsed to the ground. His grip strength was greater than mine. I couldn't let go.
- Kamuro: First a snake, then a toad and now a spider. Make up your mind, man
- Arisu: Fufufu, Hashimoto is like Barbie
- Ryuuen: Kukukuku, he is whatever he wants to be
Several laughs were heard in the distance.
- Hashimoto: 'Everything is for class A'
Hashimoto opened his mouth, he was about to bite me.
Before carrying out such an action, a kick was aimed at his head, scaring Hashimoto away from the scene.
When he passed through the door a foot destroyed his head. I recognized the figure of the girl. It was Amasawa Ichika from class 1-A.
— Sorry I'm late Horikita-senpai
The person who saved me spoke to me.
I recognized that the voice was Yagami-kun from class 1-B, my student council partner.
He offered me his hand to get up. Seeing his figure, for a moment it seemed to me that he looked like Ayanokouji-kun.
Maybe, just maybe. In this situation, there is hope.
- Horikita: Yagami-kun?
- Yagami: Yes, that's me
- Ike: I don't think that's what he meant...
- Sudo: Oh, you're pretty strong, aren't you?
- Yagmi: I do some exercise, Sempai
- Ibuki: 'That Amasawa girl is there too'
- Ksuhida: 'That damn red-haired devil'
- Amasawa: Huhuhu~, it feels good to be on screen~
- Nanase: 'Was Amasawa-san always this strong?'
- Horikita: 'It's true, in a way he looks like Ayanokouji-kun'
While everyone in the room debated their opinions, the archangel spoke again.
- Michael: Well, that's all the video and about this universe
- Shibata: Wait, there's no second part?
- Michael: NO
*Sad boy noises*
- Michael: Now, we'll look at some things to lighten the mood.
- Arisu: What do you mean, Michael-san?
- Michael: We will see some images, memes, funny things from his universe and others
Those present in the room nodded.
- Michael: Well, then don't move from your seats, we've already started.
A/N: Hey guys, that's all for today's chapter.
For tomorrow I have been thinking about making them react to what I mentioned before.
If you have any meme suggestions, or any images to show, I would be grateful if you could leave the link in the comments.
After that chapter comes Eroge again. So wait for it.
Without further ado, take care and thank you for reading.
