Chapter 8: Teacher Marikawa's Are Truly Big
"A zombie incident occurred all over the world? How could this be — it was clearly still fine when I went online this morning!"
Even as dopey as Shizuka Marikawa was, facing this kind of apocalyptic scene she was somewhat worried.
"Unbelievable — in just a few hours, the entire world has become like this!"
Saya Takagi said with a face full of disbelief.
"Speaking of which, it resembles the Black Death of the 14th century very much! At that time one third of the people in the European countries died."
Saeko Busujima analyzed calmly.
"Then how did the infection stop afterward?"
Shizuka Marikawa turned her head worriedly to look at Saeko Busujima, hoping to get some good news.
"There are many explanations, but the greatest explanation is that when enough people died it basically ended, because there were already no more people left to infect!"
Hearing this, Shizuka Marikawa and Saya Takagi fell somewhat silent.
"But the people who died are all walking around and will actively attack people!"
Shizuka Marikawa murmured while looking at the scattered zombies outside the window.
"Meaning there is no way to stop the expansion of the scale!"
Saya Takagi also broke her silence and took over the conversation.
"Ah...…summer is coming very soon. When the flesh has all rotted away and only white bones remain, perhaps they will no longer be able to move!"
Shizuka Marikawa suddenly said with pleasant surprise.
"Then how long would that take?"
Although she felt this method was not reliable, Saeko Busujima still asked.
And Shizuka Marikawa hearing this counted on her fingers while saying: "In summer, it would take about twenty days to decompose to bare bones! In winter, it would probably take several months. In any case it won't be too far off."
Saying this, in the end Shizuka Marikawa smiled foolishly, as if this truly could solve the problem.
"Whether they will rot or not, no one knows. Walking around everywhere and still attacking humans — corpses of this kind are no longer within the scope of medicine. Who knows, they might just keep going on like this."
Saya Takagi refuted Shizuka Marikawa's guess and struck it down mercilessly.
"How can this be...…"
Hearing this, Shizuka Marikawa sighed once more.
At this time Saeko Busujima noticed that Roy had not said anything the whole time, and asked with some curiosity: "Roy, what is the matter with you?"
Her question also caused Shizuka Marikawa and Saya Takagi to look toward Roy as well.
"Ah? Nothing is the matter with me. I was just thinking about where we should go next!"
Roy naturally would not worry about the problems they were worrying about, so he had simply not joined the conversation.
Hearing Roy's words, the three girls' eyes lit up — just now none of them had thought about this question!
Yet Roy had been thinking about it in advance. This made them feel that Roy was extremely reliable.
"Then, Roy, have you thought it through?" Saeko Busujima asked again.
"Hmm...…it is already getting dark. First we need to find a safe place to rest."
"Then confirm the safety of our family members. Finally find an absolutely safe place — in short, that is my plan."
Roy laid out his plan.
Of course this was nothing more than him saying it casually. His real goal was to take them as his servants and then leave this world!
The three girls heard Roy's plan and all agreed — there was no better method than this.
"Then where shall we go first?"
Saya Takagi pushed up her glasses and asked.
"Whose home is closest?"
Roy drove the car while glancing at the two girls in the rearview mirror.
"I only have my father as a family member. But he is currently at a dojo abroad, so there is not really any place to go."
Saeko Busujima said calmly.
"My home is in the city up ahead. I...…want to go back and check on my mother!"
Saya Takagi's expression was very strange — the appearance of someone who wanted to go back yet did not dare to go back.
"Ah well...…my parents are both gone, and my relatives are rather far away, so there is really nowhere to go."
"As for a place to rest, I have a friend whose house is not far from here."
Saying this, Shizuka Marikawa happily extended her index finger and waved it.
"Is it a boyfriend's house?"
Saya Takagi looked at her suspiciously.
"No...…it's not!"
Hearing that Saya Takagi had misunderstood, Shizuka Marikawa hastily waved her hands to explain.
"It is a female friend's house. Because of her special work, she entrusted me to help clean the house."
"And near there there is also a convenience store, and a car as large as a tank left there!"
Saying this Shizuka Marikawa also gestured to illustrate.
Roy glanced over — the enormous rabbit bounced a few times along with her movement, with such elasticity.
"Alright then, let us first go to Teacher Shizuka's place to rest for one night, then set out tomorrow to go to Takagi's home to have a look."
Roy made the decision.
"Indeed, I am already very tired today. While there is still electricity, I want to take a bath."
Saya Takagi looked at the blood stains on her body and felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.
"Roy, you still have not said the situation of your own home!"
Saeko Busujima noticed — they had all told their own home situations, while Roy had not said anything.
"Ah...…my home is not in this place, so there is no need to mind it!"
Roy said casually.
Is that really so?
Seeing Roy's such relaxed expression, Saeko Busujima could not help but have some doubts.
No further conversation along the way.
When the sky was about to go dark, they finally arrived at the house Shizuka Marikawa had mentioned.
"See, it is like a tank, right!"
Shizuka Marikawa pointed showing off — in the courtyard of the house, a modified Hummer was parked.
Its enormous body displayed an imposing and domineering appearance.
"What kind of background does your friend have!"
Saya Takagi could not help but exclaim.
"In any case, let us first clear away the surrounding zombies!"
Saeko Busujima looked at the surroundings — at the zombies that had been drawn over by their arrival.
"That is right. Senior Saeko, I will trouble you to protect Classmate Takagi and Teacher Marikawa. These zombies I will leave to me."
Saying this, Roy picked up the wooden sword and walked toward the scattered zombies.
"Wait a moment, Roy...…"
At this time, Saeko Busujima called out to stop him.
