Chapter 125 – Academy Apocalypse (35)
“You are safe!”
“Huh! Thanks to my colleagues!”
“Colleague?”
Her gaze moved behind Ray.
There, Seo-jun and his party were approaching with a jeep.
“Hello.”
Seojun lowered his head.
Seeing him, Kiriko’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, thank you for bringing our Ray.”
“It was nothing.”
She also greeted the rest of her party.
After that, she got straight to the point.
“But what kind of fuss is this? Where did the touching reunion go? Do you know that consori brings people together?”
“But I went to get something to eat for the neighbors and they didn’t let me in.”
She started to explain.
“At first, we cooperated and got along well, right? But since the electricity didn’t come on, it’s been difficult in many ways. It seems that some strange person came in and stirred everyone up. It is the limit of neighborly fellowship.”
“Your mother runs away too.”
Seojun proposed to her.
Then Kiriko put her hand on her cheek and smiled at her.
“Oh, it’s like love’s invitation to escape. But where are you going? Without a clear purpose, things will go bad in no time. Don’t act rashly just because you’re surviving! Or are you prepared to do that?”
“Saya will explain that. Yes?”
“Kuhmm, the next afternoon at Niidoko 3rd Elementary School there will be a rescue operation by the Self-Defense Forces for a very short time. I checked with the Higashi Police Station. Perhaps that will be the first and last rescue.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
She shouted over the barricade.
“There is a rescue operation by the Self-Defense Forces in Niidoko 3 seconds the day after tomorrow! We will go there! Someone to go with me!”
The answer came back soon.
“… Mi, I can’t believe it! It is clearly a lie!”
Buzz buzz.
The other side was very noisy.
Seojun helped him. Honestly, it was enough to take care of the people here, but the good feelings of the other party were also important, and above all, I liked Kiriko very much.
‘It’s completely the same as Ray.’
It’s to the point where you can immediately tell who Rey resembles.
She was so young and beautiful that, frankly, had I not heard that she was her mother, I would have thought she was just a sister with an age difference.
I especially liked the bobbed hair, which gave off a mature charm that was different from Lay’s.
“It’s true! If you are going with us, please come out now!”
No answer came back this time.
Seojun turned his head.
“I’ve done all the tricks with this. What didn’t come out was their choice. Is everyone okay?”
“It doesn’t matter~”
“Of course. To be honest, it’s too much for us alone.”
“I can’t afford to take care of others.”
Kiriko watched as her companions responded to Seo-jun’s words.
She whispered to Ray, squinting her eyes.
“Is that kid the leader?”
“Uh? Ah yes. That’s right. Jun is our leader.”
“You say Jun?”
“Huh! This is a child who came to our school from Korea…”
With her smile, Lay briefly summarized Seo-jun’s performance.
Kiriko, who had heard all of this, put on a puzzled expression. Because she’s not a cartoon, and it doesn’t make any sense at all.
However, it is clear that what her own daughter is saying is not a lie at all that her other party is following her like that. It was because it was not easy to get that much envy.
‘Well, I’ll understand if I watch from now on.’
While Kiriko was thinking about that, Hirano, who was watching her rear, shouted.
“Revenge those bastards in the rear! About 60 meters away!”
No small number were coming towards them.
“It seems that the sound of the rain didn’t erase all of our voices.”
“Well, there is nothing I can do. As always, I will open the way.”
Sereung.
Seojun drew his sword.
The party nodded and burned their fighting spirit.
Kiriko let out a short admiration at that orderly appearance. But at the same time she felt sorry for her. It meant that children who were still only high school students had to go through so many obstacles in order to change in such a short time.
“Then go.”
Bang-!
Seojun kicked the ground.
His new model shoots like a bullet, and the distance of 60 meters is zeroed in just 3 seconds.
Soon after, a slashing blow.
The sword attack, which was swung at an invisible speed, took away their supply and demand.
“… This.”
Seeing that scene, Kiriko was stunned.
Because she was not exaggerating what her daughter said.
No, is that really human?
But she soon shook her head. That’s not what’s important now.
“Okay, let me help too!”
She held her spear.
Kiriko, who has spearmanship skills superior to Ray.
Having fought easily against them so far, she joined right away.
As I was dealing with a series of bastards like that, something unexpected happened.
“Uh?! Check the approach of many guys in front! That, but… Run, run!”
“What?! What are you talking about?”
“They’re literally running and coming!”
“What is that…”
Takagi looked ahead through the telescope.
Suddenly, her eyes trembled.
“… It’s real.”
It was as Hirano said.
A little under twenty of them were running towards them.
And that too at an incredibly fast pace!
“June! Be careful!!”
“Check.”
Seo-joon slashed the walking guys and quickly hit them.
Before long, he collides with the guys who come running.
Standing up and down!!!
A flash of light flashed.
The pieces of the corpses of the guys rolled on the floor.
Seo-joon didn’t stop and slaughtered all the runners.
After that, he joined again and dealt with the rest of them, then he brushed off the blood on his sword.
“Could this be what Jun said?”
“Perhaps.”
Mutant species.
The guys who had been walking slowly until now started running.
As Seo-jun said, it was proof that some kind of mutation was taking place in them.
“It seems there is no time to delay here any longer. Let’s go to the third second quickly.”
There was no objection.
Everyone saw them running and realized the seriousness of the situation.
So they quickly got on the jeep.
“Hey, wait!”
A voice came from behind the barricade.
Seeing their powerlessness, it seems that they made a belated decision to accompany them.
However, Seo-jun did not even look at them and said to Shizuka, who was behind the wheel.
“Let’s go.”
“… Huh!”
Buaang!!
The jeep started at high speed.
Only then did I look behind me, and the people who came out after clearing the barricades were staring at them as they walked away.
“… Was it okay?”
Ray muttered.
Seojun stroked her hair and said.
“You can’t save everyone. Let’s just think about surviving.”
If you join those people here, the pace slows down. Because this jeep is already full of them.
There.
‘There’s no need to risk my life for them.’
After all, they are South Koreans.
Their safety did not require their comrades to sacrifice.
I didn’t really say whether the other party quickly accepted that fact.
For a while, they headed towards their destination, listening to the sound of the jeep’s engine and the sound of rain.
‘It’s about time.’
Seojun thought.
The appearance of the runners, that was the foreshadowing.
‘The beginning of awakening.’
Soon, some of the survivors around the world will begin to awaken.
And you will have special abilities.
Seo-joon glanced at the party. All of their awakening abilities had already been set by Seo-joon before entering.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
He smiled inwardly.
Because it was clear that it would be more fun in the future.
