Go Into the Muck 32

Chapter 32 – Academy Apocalypse (3)

After a short self-introduction, the four chatted lightly.
Meanwhile, Takashi pointed to the sword Seojun was holding and asked.

“What is that, by any chance, were you the one who cut their throats off the roof?”
“Oh, I am right.”
“… What a skill.”

Takashi was genuinely impressed, but Hisashi was wary of him.
Thank you for saving him, but it didn’t make sense to him to go around slicing up beings who were normal humans just a few hours ago with something like that.

‘Even though we killed them too… It’s scary that he killed this number without any hesitation.’

Hisashi swallowed a gulp.
After reading his anxiety, Seo-joon smiled and led the way, then crossed his arms. Then he opened his mouth as if to lighten the mood.

“So, why did you guys come here without going out?”
“… I couldn’t go out because of the confusion. That’s why I came here to hold out until help comes.”
“Hmm, well, it’s not a bad choice.”

The Astronomy Department was equipped with water, not enough snacks and drinks for lodging, toilets and bedding.
No matter how bad you are, you can survive for about 3 days.

“But at this rate, you never know when the power transmission will be cut off.”
“… Okay. If there is no electricity, the pump at the water purification plant will not work and the water will be cut off.”

Hisashi replied to Seojun’s words.
Ray, who was watching him, asked.

“But the school has its own disaster generator, doesn’t it?”
“Who is going to press the switch.”
“That, that…”
“Well, rescue will come before then. Rather, Takashi. You’re the only one with a cell phone, so try calling one more time.”
“Uh.”

Takashi called the police.

“Oh, hello. The police there…”
– This is a recording. The lines are congested because of the current concentration of 119 calls. Please wait like this or call again later. Repeat once more. This recording…

Beep.
Said Takashi, who ended the call.

“Sheesh, it’s still like this.”
“… Is that so too?”
“Do you know something?”

When Takashi asked about Hisashi’s words, he pointed to the city behind him with smoke rising.

“Surely the whole town is in this situation.”
“Why did this happen…”
“Fuck!!”

Caang-!
Takashi, unable to let go of his anger, hit Nagan with a metal bat.

“2 hours… It was as usual until just two hours ago! But why is this happening!! It’s not a movie or a game, I don’t know the English language!! The dead guys come back to life, so they attack someone again, and that guy dies too… You look like a zombie!”

Rattle!
Then the door on the roof opened and someone came running.

“A gym teacher?”

Dressed in tracksuits, he pulled the railing behind him and watched the guys approaching him.

Haha… There’s no way this could happen. Yes, dream this must be a bad dream need to wake up… Wake up and let’s go to school. Today, we have to squeeze the freshmen for circle activities…”

Feeling out of his mind, he jumped over the railing and threw himself down.
The sound of cracking watermelons echoed.

“… I hate it now.”

Despair crept across Ray’s face.

“Why! Why! I don’t know! Not a clue! Why did this happen!”

She cried.
Hisashi replied with her sorrowful face.

“There must be a reason…”
“What’s different when you know that!”
“If we know the cause, we will be able to find a solution.”

Seo-joon touched his chin as he watched the scene.
Indeed, if a man named Hisashi had survived in the original story, he would surely have become their leader.
But that’s impossible. Seojun looked at his arm. The part of the uniform had turned red.
Quite a bit of time has passed, so the time has come.

“Let’s find out if there are any lighters or matches in the observatory. If I don’t make a fire right now, their movements at night… Whoops!”
“Hisashi! What’s the matter!!”

Hisashi, who was talking, suddenly coughed up blood.
He was constantly coughing up blood, and the amount was staggering.
Seeing that, Takashi exclaimed in astonishment.

“Stop, please… !”
“Maybe it’s just like the movie.”

Sereung.
Seojun drew his sword.
Seeing him like that, Rei and Takashi widened their eyes.

“Joo, Joon-kun? What the hell now…”
“What? They’re going to end your friends before they become like them.”
“No! There’s no way something like that could ever happen! So stop!”

Ray blocked Seo-jun’s way.
Her body trembled as she blocked her tears.
It was the fear of whether he would be able to stop Seo-joon, who had dealt with countless bastards.

“Hmm, there. What will you do?”

Seojun asked Hisashi.
He responded by biting his lip.

“… I’m sorry, but I’m begging you. End it as painlessly as possible.”
“Okay.”
“Hisashi!! What are you talking about!”
“You, now!”
“I don’t want to be bastards!! So please I want to stay with me until the end…”

He closed his eyes tightly.
Ray shook her head and denied his words.
Seojun, who was watching the scene, noticed Takashi. Nodding her head, he walked over to her ray and pulled her out.

“Takashi!! Let go of this! Let go!!”

Takashi grabbed Rei and pulled him away from Hasashi.
With no obstruction, Seo-joon went to Hisashi. His eyes almost lost their life.

“Any last words?”

Seojun asked.
Hisashi responds with difficulty.

“… I’ll ask you two on my behalf.”
“Is there no doctor for me?”
“Sorry. But if it’s not you, the two are definitely dangerous… Wow!”

Patter.
Pouring blood.
Seo-joon shook his head as if he couldn’t stop. Then he whispered, lowering his voice so that only he could hear.

“Okay. Okay.”
“Go, thank you…”

It was the moment Hasashi was about to answer.
Seojun’s voice rang in his head.
It is transmission.

-Ray will be my woman anyway, so I’ll do my best to protect her.
“What? What the hell now…”

Hisashi’s words, which he was trying to say, did not carry on to the end.
It’s because the sword of Seo-joon and Spake fell like a guillotine and cut his throat. His severed head rolled on the floor.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Ray, who witnessed the scene, screamed.
She sat down and howled, and Takashi, who was holding her, also turned her head away with an expression of resentment.
Cheak, Seo-joon, who brushed off the blood, led the way.
Then he waited for the two of them to come to their senses.

***

How much time has passed
Slowly, the sky was setting sunset.

“Are you both okay?”

Seojun asked.
At that, Takashi nodded weakly, and Ray silently glared at him.
Seojun shrugged his shoulders.

“Why do you look at me like that? That’s what he asked for.”
“…”

Ray bit his lip.
He’s right. It was obviously Seojun who said he would start, but Hisashi was the one who asked. Rather, there was nothing wrong with Seo-jun, who killed them cleanly before they became them.
But that’s a story when you think rationally.
The feelings of losing him, who was her boyfriend until just now, did not calm down easily, and rather wanted to express these dark emotions that were united.
Ray turned his target on him.
To Takashi, who is easier than Seojun.

“Takashi, why did you stop me?”
“… That. If you don’t do that, you’ll be in danger to Hasashi, who has become a bastard.”
“I didn’t want anything like that! If I had to survive until it ended up like this, I wanted to be bitten by Hisashi and become them too!”

She screams like she’s mad.
It was clearly not intentional. But now that her emotions were fluctuating, she said anything and wanted to put these dark feelings to rest quickly.

“… There’s no way he’d be happy about that.”
“Under? What do you think Takashi knows? Aha, yes! It was! Did Takashi actually hate Hisashi?! Because you were dating me!”
“…”

Takashi clenched her fists.
That might be right. In the first place, he felt inferior when he saw Hisashi, who was good at everything, and because of that, he fell into lethargy.
Disappointed with that, Rei’s feelings for Hisashi grew, and her jealousy grew.
Takashi felt that he was better off now. He was thinking of venting his anger by turning around and killing them.
However, an obstacle came in.

“Let’s go to bed, until there.”

Seo-joon intervened before it overheated.
And then he beat them both.

“When is the time right now, even though we can’t join forces, what are we going to do by fighting? Let’s put bad feelings aside and think about surviving.”
“… Huh, that’s right.”
“… Okay.”

Takashi and Rei nodded.
At least there was nothing wrong with Seo-jun’s words. In addition, they heard Hisashi’s will to Seo-jun at the end.
That might make it easier to follow.

‘As planned.’

Seeing the reaction of the two, Seo-joon laughed inwardly.
Originally, the quarrel between Takashi and Rei did not last very long.
The moment he is about to head to the place where they are, Ray grabs him and clings to him, crying and running with him, saying he didn’t mean what he just said. At that, Takashi hugs her and the two become close again, just like when they promised to marry in the past.

But now.
Seo-joon’s intervention completely changed the future.
The two probably won’t be able to show their appearance in the original work anymore.
And Seo-joon was going to squeeze through the gap and take her.

‘Sunae enjoyed playing Sword Art Online a lot, so why not try something like this once in a while?’

How can a person live on only good things?
Sometimes you have to do some snacks to make good food taste even better.
Any experience matters.

‘Because it’s also before they develop feelings for each other in the first place.’

As for Takashi, who had been carrying on her unrequited love, Rei had already hurt her feelings once. Because of that, her affection for Takashi would have almost disappeared.
Seo-joon smiled triumphantly inside and talked about future plans.
