Chapter- 35
—-------------
After Kaneki was gone, in order to deal with the zombies that are gathered around the house, since this can damage their house, or maybe they can even come in
So in order to deal with that, he went outside, leaving the kid and her puppy in the care of Shizuka while he jumped back down
"Come inside~" Shizuka said this as she brought the girl inside the room, even though she was worried for Kaneki, but somehow she knows would be able to handle it without a problem
So she decided to take her inside since it's better that way, especially after what the kid experienced today
After coming inside, Shizuka led her to the sofa nearby and made her sit comfortably as Shizuka crouched down
Not only Shizuka but also Saya, Saeko and Rei checked the girl and couldn't help but think that this kid is very cute
The girl has shoulder-length pink hair with bangs reaching down from the side of her temples, a mole under her left eye, and wears a white headband on her head; she is wearing a white jacket, a pink dress top, a light blue skirt, black socks and shoes.
Meanwhile, her dog is a small puppy with a white coat and black ear flaps. He also wears a red dog collar with a bone ornament that hangs at its front.
[ A/N:- here is the reference Picture from Your dear Shinigami~ → ]
"Are you hurt anywhere~?" Shizuka asked this in gentle tone as she looks at her with caring eyes while she looks at her caring eyes
As a medic, she can bandage her if she is injured anywhere, but looking at Girl's condition, she couldn't find anything serious other than some bruises; she found nothing wrong, which is good
"Can you bring that First Aid box from that shelf~?" Shizuka asked the two girls on her side as she wanted to patch the kid first before asking her any other questions
Shizuka also checked the puppy who was with the girl and found the dog was not injured while Rei was bringing the first aid
"What's your name?" Saya asked this as she sat down on the floor looking in her eyes with gentleness as she dont wanna scare her at all
"Alice", the Girl replied in a very low tone as she was not that familiar with new people as well as a new environment, but still she honestly replied to their questions
Because she knows they aren't bad people since she considered Kaneki as her Superhero, and due to the fact that he has left her in these people's care, meaning these people are with her superhero and people who are with her superhero can't be bad people
And another reason is that even though she is alive, remembering what happened to her parent, tears filled her eyes, especially remembering her last memories with her parent, but somehow she is holding it in order not to look pathetic
Previously, she didnt think much due to the fact that she was all surrounded by those things, which is why she was too scared to even think
But now, since she is in a safe place, her memories started to refresh in her mind as she started to remember all the things that happened to her and her family
Looking at the Girl, they all immediately know that something must have happened to her, even though they can't do anything to change what happened to her, but at least they can give her comfort
"Alice is such a sweet name", Rei said as she handed the first aid box to Shizuka, who moved to near kid
There are questions that they all wanna ask, but are afraid that those questions will make Girl sad or even cry, especially related to her parents
Considering how she was all alone there, meaning that either her parents abandoned her, or they were either killed by those things
Whatever the case might be but one thing is for sure: that is a fresh wound in her mind, especially when she is not even an adult
So it's better to treat her first, then ask those questions when she's mentally stable after a good rest, but the problem is that they dont know what to do with her
Unlike them, the girl doesn't seem to have a place where she belongs, especially when looking at her standing alone with her puppy
But one thing is sure, that they can't leave an small kid like her alone, meaning they're gonna take her in until this zombie Apocalypse is over or they run away to a safe place
"Give me your hand~" Shizuka said this in a gentle tone as she first needed to disinfect those scratches.
The girl hesitated for some moments and then finally stretched her hand towards, as Shizuka gently with one hand, then next second she treated that bruise
"Ouch!" The girl unconsciously spoke in pain the moment Shizuka disinfect the wound, as Alice quickly and tightly shut her eyes
"It's okay, it will only take a moment~" Shizuka said as she tried to comfort the girl, continuing to do her work
"It is done, you are a strong girl~" Shizuka said this as she released her arm, she called her strong not only just to comfort her, but rather, Shizuka really meant what she just said
Being alone with unfamiliar people whom she was meeting for the first time, still she is not crying is really impressive, not to mention that just a few moments ago she was all surrounded by all those zombies and also almost got eaten alive by monsters
She is doing well, in fact, she is doing very well, then some adults too, which is also the reason Shizuka called her a strong girl
"Where is that cool big brother?" Alice asked this in a low tone, as she trusted Kaneki more since he was the one who saved her life
All of them got in trouble with her question since they couldn't literally tell her that he had gone to kill those things
Even though they have no idea where Kaneki has gone since he went without telling them anything, but they can pretty much guess he went to kill those zombies
But they can't tell this bluntly to an kid, which is why they were troubled and began to think of a perfect excuse that would sound believable
.....
Meanwhile Kaneki…
Kaneki is right now trying to distract the zombie in another direction, but he has one complaint in his mind that he can't do anything about.
'They are so slow', Kaneki inwardly said in his mind, as zombies are too slow to keep up with him, which is the reason he needed to slow down too in order to match their pace
Until he brought them to another location, which is far away from their safe house where they are currently staying
But if he is too fast and goes far away from them, then zombies might not be able to hear, and there is the possibility that they might go back to that place
'This might be a suitable place', Kaneki said as he brought all the zombies into some kind of open area
Since he can't hear any sound of humans or even animals, which he thinks is a safe place, as all zombies gather and start to rush towards him
Kaneki skillfully started to move without making any sound, and even his breathing was so silent that even a human standing in front of Kaneki would have trouble sensing his presence
