Go Into the Muck 49

Chapter 49 – Academy Apocalypse (20)

A forklift lifts an iron grate into the garden.
There was one gnome in it.
After that, Soichiro Takagi explained. And the people who were helped by Takagi’s parents huddled together and watched it.

“This man’s name is Tetsutaro Doi! A former vassal who assisted the Takagi family. And he is also my close friend.”

Rattle.
The forklift puts down the grate.
Soichiro approached and continued talking.

“And today, during a rescue operation, he was bitten while trying to save his colleague.”

Buzz buzz.
The gathered people are in an uproar.

“A mirror of self-sacrifice. It is a noble act as a human being. But now he is no longer human. It has become dangerous.”

Quaang!
The guy who hits the iron bars.
The people gathered at the sudden action scream and walk backwards.
Even so, Souichiro drew his sword and shouted.

“That’s why, I’ll do my duty here as a man of the Takagi family.”

His aide opened the iron grate.
Then the guy who jumped out went straight to Soichiro.

“Goodbye, friend.”

Wedge love!!
Soichiro’s raised sword fell like a guillotine and cut his throat.
Frightened people.

“This is the situation we are in right now. Even great friends, loving family and lovers should end it without hesitation. Fight against it if you want to live!”

After his speech, he entered the mansion.
And there was a brief disturbance on the part of Seo-joon and his party who were watching the scene.

***

‘Why are they fighting over something like that?’

After seeing Soichiro execute him, Hirano gave a bad review about his sword.
Then Saeko pointed it out, and when Takashi touched Hirano to stop the conversation between the two, he ran out in anger.
It was really ridiculous.

‘What is youth?’

Well, if you think about it carefully, when I was young, there were a lot of fights like death over trivial things.
Maybe something like that
Anyway, due to a brief disturbance, we decided to disband for now.
Where did Saeko and Rei go, Aris approached Takashi and gave him unreasonable support. So that we can reconcile with Hirano.

“Let’s talk again later.”

Where did Saya go?
It seemed that he had probably followed Hirano.
The only ones left are Seojun and Shizuka.

“Um, would you like to have a cup of tea together?”
“Huh, are you flirting?”
“It’s similar.”

Seojun said skillfully.
At that, Shizuka drew a smile.

“I’m happy to say it, but I’ll decline it for now. Please invite me again later when this story is over.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”

Seojun shrugged his shoulders and turned around.

“I’m going to see the kids for a while.”
“Yes, yes. If you go, the kids will calm down quickly.”

So Seo-joon came out with Shizuka seeing him off.
I thought about where the kids were, and for a moment I saw Aris rushing somewhere.
It was the first time I saw such an urgent expression.

“Aris!”
“Ah, Jun oppa!”

When he called, Aris turned and ran towards him.
Seojun asked Aris who was breathing heavily.

“What is it?”
“Hehe, follow me! Kota-chan! Kota-chan is in big trouble!”
“A big deal?”

Seojun narrowed his forehead and nodded his head.

“Where are you. Guide me.”

***

“Poetry, I hate it!”

Hirano shouted while holding a gun.
The crowd of people around him fired at him.

“Don’t fuck!”
“Get them out quickly!”
“Hey, you know that times are tough right now, don’t you? One person can’t use multiple guns. Hand them over.”

Hirano replied to that.

“No! This is borrowed from someone, and no one here shoots as well as I do!”
“You bastard! Yoshioka-san said something nice, so you’re being arrogant?”
“With that gun, I can protect everyone here!”

When it didn’t look like he would hand it over even under threat, one of the men nodded.

“Hey, take it away.”
“Okay.”
“I can’t keep up with the whims of a child forever.”

Bubbly.
Footsteps approaching Hirano.
Before long, men completely surrounded Hirano.

***

Meanwhile, Saya was walking around the mansion grounds.
She murmured, looking around her extension.

“Didn’t you come this way? Seriously, that fat otaku annoys me sometimes. Huh?”

In the meantime.
In a pond in the corner, she noticed the figure of Saeko watching the koi and went towards it.
Saeko’s expression looked sad.
Saeko, who glanced behind her at her appearance, immediately realized that she was Saya, and then turned her gaze back to her. And after a while, her mouth opened.

“It is a beautiful carp. This species is pretty to look at and rare.”
“You must be familiar with carp as well as kendo, right? Well, I’m sure you get along well with seniors.”
“I, no… I’m not in a good mood either.”

The silence that came for a moment.
It was Saya who opened her mouth first.

“Senior, do you know why? The reason I gathered them.”
“Okay.”
“Today, yesterday and maybe tomorrow will be the same as now. So if you don’t make a choice, there’s no happiness here. Maybe… Forever.”
“That’s right. The world as we know it has already perished.”

Then.
After adding her words, she opened her mouth again.

“Would you like to hear what you are going to do?”
“That’s right. Either we’re all swallowed up, or we’re splitting apart. Whatever you choose will change everything.”
“…”

Saya and Saeko talked after that.
It was then.

“What are you doing right now!!”

A loud voice rang out.
Saya and Saeko headed in the direction of the noise.

***

Soichiro Takagi appeared.
At that, the men surrounding Hirano retreat.

“Bo, Boss!”
“This kid owns the gun!”
“Hmm! Say your name boy!! I am Soichiro Takagi, the president of this organization!!”
Hee hee, Kouta Hirano! Fujimi High School 2nd year B class attendance number 32!”
“Hmm!! It must have been a lot of hard work to get here! However, that is not a reason not to hand over a gun!! Tell me why, boy!!”
“Oh no! No guns! I finally figured out what I could do! I hate going back!!”

Hirano’s words screaming out loud.
Soichiro, who was listening to this, asked.

“You can, for example?”
“… Eh, that, that!!”

Hirano was speechless in embarrassment.
It was then.

“For example, protecting your daughter.”
“Hmm?”

Seo-joon broke through the crowd with Aris and stood in front of Hirano.

“Lord, Jun-kun!”

Hirano calls him crying.
After Seo-joon gestured to be relieved, Soichiro looked straight ahead.

‘Wow, the impression is really dirty.’

If you look at it, it’s just a yakuza.
Well, anyway, Soichiro, who had been staring at the sudden intrusion, opened his mouth.

“What do you mean?”
“After this incident broke out, your daughter, Saya, was saved several times by Hirano here. All with the guns here.”
“…”

Aris comes to Hirano’s side.
She cried and glared at Soichiro.

“His bravery is enough for you to see, President Takagi.”
“I think so too, Dad.”

Saeko and Saya joined.
Not just the two. Hearing the commotion, the people who came running surrounded Hirano as if they were protecting him.

“He’s short and a total otaku, but without him I’d be an ally of the moving corpses. Yes, Hirano protected me! Unlike you!!”
“T-Takagi…”

Hirano wept.
It seemed that he was quite impressed.

“… Hmm, yes.”

Soichiro saw that and briefly nodded his head.
And then he turned around.

“That’s reason enough.”

After saying that, Soichiro left.
He stared blankly at his men, then hurriedly followed him.
Such a brief happening came to an end.

***

While Seo-joon and the others are fighting with Soichiro.
The people who were indebted to the Takagi family’s mansion were gathering and discussing.

“Thank you for saving us, but the people here are too violent!”

A short-cut woman in her 40s said.
Her appearance didn’t make her character look good.
The woman vomited.

“We have to show our will to the person who did such a reckless thing!”
“Everyone has to watch this. Sooner or later, the government will return to normal.”
“The government is backed by the US military, so if you look closely…”

Others voiced different opinions, but the woman raised her voice as if it didn’t deserve to be heard.

“We don’t need US help! It will only create more tension in Asia!”

I miss you!
Soichiro’s subordinates, who were watching her shout, shook her head.
It would have been better to report this quickly.
