Chapter 817 – 817. Haruka Ishikawa 2
Next day. Haruka’s challenge has begun.
After skipping school in the morning because she was sick, she sighs lightly when she sees the message that pops up at noon.
A TV that won’t work, internet and phone calls cut off, sudden deaths of the elderly, and a world in chaos.
Her father returned home shortly afterward.
Perhaps because it is a country where many earthquakes occur, the speed of returning home is rapid.
Anyway, having secured her entire family, she pretends not to know anything and recommends her invisibility to her parents.
When Haruka insisted that this was the best, her parents said they knew and took pictures of her skills.
Well, transparent screen her parents can understand. Moreover, those people are also from the generation that played games.
You all know that transparency looks good just by looking at it.
But Haruka actually filmed the flight. Why? Why? She should have gone invisible!
When her parents asked the same questions as I did, Haruka naturally answered.
If something happens, her father and mother can wear invisibility and run away quickly, but her self is slow, so it will be difficult.
She says it would be faster for her to fly away.
Something I don’t understand. And the same goes for her parents.
However, there is nothing you can do about skills that have already been acquired. I have no choice but to watch what they do.
There was chaos, but because it was a small town, people didn’t suddenly kill each other.
Certainly, something like that happened first in places like cities.
Because a few crazy people induce chaos and disorder.
Those who already live without the law are proliferating and accelerating the mess.
Fortunately, in a quiet rural town like this, it’s a bit late for that.
Of course… In the future, it will affect all these places as well, but not yet.
Now, it’s just villagers gathering together and sharing information about what’s going on.
The village has a gloomy atmosphere because there are quite a few dead old people. Because the proportion of elderly people is high in rural areas.
There is no big difference between Korea and Japan.
Anyway, the night ended like that. Haruka, who fell asleep unusually early, opened her eyes at dawn.
What on earth is he doing that for? Why did she choose to fly?
After confirming that her parents were sleeping, she put on her black clothes, took one of her ice boxes, and started flying in the night sky.
What… Are you a ninja? Why are you leaving like that? What on earth are you going to do out this early in the morning? Also, why the icebox?
Haruka went to a nearby tourist spot. She then looks around, and she goes towards a restaurant.
Restaurant? What? To bring food? At this early morning? Alone?
I can’t understand?
A restaurant commonly found in tourist attractions. A place that sells Hokkaido specialty food. Why did you go there?
Put aside your doubts for a moment and just watch. And she… She goes to the fish tank in the restaurant and skillfully scoops up a fish with a landing net.
Ah… Surely?
The fish that Haruka floated on was a pufferfish.
Blowfish. A fish with a deadly venom that can immediately separate the soul from the body if eaten incorrectly.
A restaurant without an owner due to sudden chaos.
She breaks through her window and casually takes her puffer fish and grabs her sashimi knife.
Skillful and natural grooming. Hands like a craftsman.
No… A craftsman, right? I’ve been cooking for over a thousand years.
To her, the way she prepares the puffer fish is laughable.
Yes, I ate it often. Blowfish sashimi served by Haruka.
No matter how good Haruka is at cooking, at that time she was cured of the disease, so even if she ate something wrong, she could get treatment right away, so she ate with peace of mind.
The skills I developed that way. That’s why her hand movements are so elegant.
She quickly trims and puts the desired parts into the prepared ice box.
It’s funny to see her leaving the flesh behind and only collecting the poisonous parts.
And then she understood. About how Haruka tries to kill people, which is far from her killing ability.
She prepared all the pufferfish in her restaurant in an instant.
She looks at the applied skin and looks like it’s a waste, but since that’s not important right now, she leaves the store.
Haruka returns home carrying an icebox full of deadly poison.
What on earth are you trying to use that for? Are you planning to kill all the villagers first?
When she returned, she took care of the icebox and used up her remaining stamina for a few more flights before falling asleep immediately.
What do you want? Just sleep? Just like this?
The next day, while the sun was shining, she just passed by quietly.
Although they say the world is ruined, the response is slow in remote places like this.
People like usual. In Haruka’s village, they go back to doing their jobs regardless of whether the world falls apart or not.
Well, it’s only natural that they are mainly engaged in farming or livestock farming.
However, what is a little different is the gloomy atmosphere that spreads throughout the village.
I think it’s because a lot of old people have died.
It was natural, since there was at least one elderly person in every two or three households.
Moreover, there is a strange excitement mixed in.
Skill. Because of those ridiculous effects.
There were quite a few people who took pictures of it because they were more interested in creation skills rather than thinking about killing people first.
As expected, the popular ones are oil production and sake production. It’s free gas and free alcohol, so there’s no way I’d turn it down.
After such a chaotic day, it’s night again.
Haruka goes out early in the morning again. She is carrying an ice box.
The flight was really slow because it was still a low-level flight.
The place she went on her flight was… It was a place I knew.
Not too far away. Where I met Haruka.
The village where my uncle lives.
Haruka brought a lot of puffer fish poison to that place… Enough to know what her intentions were.
However… How on earth is she going to feed the pufferfish poison? She doesn’t even cook?
It was surprisingly simple. The place Haruka went was where there was a pump.
What should I say? So should it be called a water intake station?
Rural village. In addition, because it is located halfway up the mountain, there is a shortage of water, so it is a facility that receives and supplies water separately.
Normally, there would have been someone to manage it, but it seems like there isn’t one now.
Did he die because he was over 70? Or did you leave after receiving the message that the world was ruined?
Considering that Haruka came confidently, I think there’s a high probability that it’s the former.
Anyway, she naturally goes into something like her management office and takes out her keys.
Then she opens the locked door and goes in.
She looks where there are things like pumps and water tanks, and she takes out the things she has prepared.
Things that are prepared from pufferfish. She opens her water tank and throws it in.
That look… So innocent.
A poison that can kill everyone in this village is thrown into the water tank, yet it looks so bright and pure.
It doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all, right? Does it feel like you are adding nutrients to the water?
Also… Because she’s a scary woman. Is this how I take revenge that I couldn’t get in the past world?
After completing all her tasks, Haruka returns to her home.
Lying in bed and falling asleep as if nothing happened.
And morning. Haruka’s village begins as usual.
But… My uncle’s village wasn’t like that.
Blowfish poison… Horrible. As far as I know, there is no antidote.
The puffer fish poison that had been put in at dawn was sufficiently mixed with the water, and the people in the village started their day as usual.
But the symptoms came soon.
Due to the nature of rural villages where most people eat breakfast, the effect appeared very quickly.
People who suddenly collapse complaining of headaches and stomachaches. And they had difficulty breathing and died.
The problem is that they don’t know that there is poison in the water.
People think that this incident is also a mysterious incident because just the other day, elderly people died all at once.
I can’t imagine there’s anything in the water.
Even though people are dying, those who are not yet dead drink water.
And dying again.
Few people survived. Even if it exists, it is not a normal situation. These are people who will die soon.
If this was an urban area and not a rural area, people would not have died to this extent.
Because there are many people who buy things like bottled water.
But… Which rural area should I buy water from? Then you will be called crazy.
So the damage increased. Perhaps Haruka was thinking about this as well.
Dawn came again and Haruka appeared again.
An empty village. Go around those houses and collect coins.
No one survived. Almost everyone was dead, and the few survivors who were still there ran away.
You may have thought that an unidentified epidemic was spreading. Or they may think that someone is targeting them.
It’s good that there are no corpses, but this is scary. You can’t figure out the cause, right? I don’t know what caused his death.
Anyway, Haruka ended up collecting coins easier than expected.
Will there be a thousand people? Then it would be about 500,000 coins.
It will depend on what skill you learn next, but in any case, there is a limit to the coins you can spend if you want to save the cost.
I don’t know if we can handle one more village like this… Will that happen?
It was possible because this town is a place Haruka knows well, but I don’t know if it works in other places as well.
So Haruka wandered around her surrounding village during the night.
Places similar to my uncle’s village. Mainly in villages located halfway up the mountain or in slightly remote areas.
Haruka wiped out two more places like that. After getting the coin she wanted, she calmly continued to practice her skills.
She acquired her second skill in about 3 weeks. Her second skill was her super strength
It’s super strength. Okay. To compensate for her lack of physical strength, it would be better to have physical strength. Besides, she’ll be used to it.
The problem is that from now on, you have to kill people yourself. I don’t know if she can do it well.
But my thoughts were useless worries.
Haruka has told her parents what the world has become and what she has to do, so she comes out in the open.
Although her opposition was strong, there was no way her parents would win because she was so strong.
In the end, Haruka received her permission and headed towards the city where there were quite a few people.
These guys who are just starting out are everywhere. These guys have been let loose because law and order have disappeared.
Use flight and super strength to attack and collect coins.
Honestly, just picking up a heavy object in the air and throwing it would be enough to break her head.
Besides, those guys have more coins than ordinary people, right? Catching just a few people can have the effect of catching dozens of people.
Still, you have to be careful. I don’t know what variables there may be.
Even if it takes a little longer, just learn invisibility from the beginning. Why are you making it so complicated? Really.
In the end, after learning the third skill, invisibility, I felt a little relieved.
Now what… There won’t be any big problems. It’s a little late, but it’ll be okay now.
As Haruka got stronger, she got rid of all the problematic things around her, so her parents and the village people didn’t have any problems.
Perhaps in the past, Haruka would have run away with her parents already dead and gone to her uncle’s house. That’s how hell would have begun.
But not now. A peaceful life, father and mother. Just by their presence, Haruka seems quite stable.
As time passes, skills increase. Quite a few variables have disappeared. Besides, now that she has learned how to play the lottery, she doesn’t have to go out.
If you win just once, you don’t have to worry about coins after that, right?
In this state, she spent all her coins, but all she had to do was not win.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Probabilistically, it’s hard to do that.
She masters the lottery, wins, and learns her skills again.
One year and seven months. She has completed all her preparations.
To her surprise, Haruka risked her ascension from her father and her mother and had her soul extracted.
Usually they say the opposite. Did she just want to leave behind good memories? I’m not sure.
Anyway, now that there was nothing to be afraid of, she used an explosive spread of poisonous spores.
Death spreads rapidly. The number of people around the world is rapidly decreasing.
This time, Samryong and Horizon die without even being able to do anything. Other than that, the other guys aren’t much different.
In the end, 99.9 percent of the world’s population died. Now it’s just a cumbersome and annoying hunt for remnants.
That’s something you can complete if you just invest the time.
That’s how Haruka safely became the last person standing.
When I went out to greet her, she found me and jumped up and hugged me.
“Why did you start off so anxious at first? I was worried.”
“But wasn’t it okay? It was the best thing I could have done.”
“Anyway, the result was good, so it’s okay. It’s not something I’ll have to do twice. Welcome back, Haruka.”
Ah. It was hard. It was hard. Furthermore, it’s so hard to see.
One person is actually that bright.
Anyway, now that Haruka is here, the only thing left is Aki.
Aki, what… There’s nothing to worry about. Because he is a human weapon.
I think we can watch the last one a little more leisurely. Fortunately.
