I watch the two monsters interact for a few seconds and then I stroke Scythe's head and the leaves of the Venus to reinforce our bond. Then I look at the forr and tell her trying to transmit my orders through the link of the [Ta] skill, so she can understands it better.
"Scythe, I need you to bring a zombie alive to this place."
She watches
for a few seconds and seed to understand what I was asking, runs to the streets of the city. Because the people in the Takagi house have taken care of the closest zombies in the area, this may take a few minutes.
I hope she doesn't get lost… well, probably she can sohow manage to do it, my skill can feel where Scythe is located, and she probably has that sa feeling for .
"Is it okay for Scythe-chan to leave like this?"
Saeko speaks sowhat worried, she undoubtedly got a little fond of my ghoul in this short ti, to avoid her discomfort to grow I tell her about the connection we have between the two of us, she nods after listening to
and relaxes a little.
"What do you want the zombie for, Alex?"
"It will beco a good fertilizer for my plant"
I say smiling when looking at Venus, she gets a little confused with my words, but since I can't explain it in a better way, I ask her to wait for Scythe to co back and see it herself.
After several minutes, we can see Scythe coming back jogging quickly while dragging sothing with one hand. When she got to where we were, we could clearly see the zombie that she was holding of one foot, preventing him from getting up, and as I asked her, it was alive ... or rather, it was moving, it is confusing to talk about the state of a zombie.
“Well Scythe, now throw it near the Venus"
Finishing my words she does what I asked and throw the zombie a few centiters from the plant, the zombie being able to put both feet on the ground rises slowly, perhaps not recognizing the plant as an enemy he turns to where we are, but before he could take a step I order the Luciferian Venus.
"That's your food, eat it"
After the sound of my voice, the stems of the plant twist a little, the vines move and beco entangled in the zombie's feet, then after finding its target, one of the parts that looks like a mouth opens showing sharp spikes that cover it as if it were an eye with inverted eyelashes.
It moves like a carnivore behind its prey and bites the zombie, lifts it and opens and closes its leaves accommodating the zombie so that it enters completely. Upon completion of introducing it all inside, it returns to an inactive state, but now it could be seen the shape of the trapped zombie that is between the leaves of one of its mouths, and also a kind of white smoke and green sap emanating from it.
When the sap touches the asphalt, it generates smoke and the place where it falls is eaten away ... that must be the acid skill that I read in its status, it looks like sothing very dangerous.
"Alex! The plant ate the zombie!"
" That is sothing impressive without a doubt "
"It's great, but don't get too close, Scythe return. When eats, It’s sap becos acid and looks very dangerous."
Kurisu and Saeko exclaim when seeing the Venus in action, it is certainly sothing surprising to observe. Scythe curious about what her new friend does, wanted to approach and probably caress the plant again, so I stop her to prevent her from getting hurt by accident.
"Well Scythe, now I need you to constantly feed the Venus, she will be your new sister so take care of her properly"
"Si-st-er"
"Leaving aside their bound whit you, you forgot that they are from different races ... Even worse, one is a plant species and the other... you're right, maybe it doesn't matter"
Kurisu gets a little picky, but in the end not knowing how to classify Scythe she accepts my words. We see Scythe run again to the city streets, in a few minutes she returns with another zombie and the previous process is repeated.
What surprises
a bit is that when the other mouth engulfs the zombie, the one that had already eaten almost finished digesting its prey, the bulge caused by the zombie’s body decreased considerably, at this rate in a couple of minutes it will reopen those jaws.
Now I am a little worried if Scythe can keep up the pace to feed it ... I should be grateful that she is a ghoul who does not need to rest or sleep, no doubt the two monsters will be a good team.
After Scythe resus her quest for searching zombies, we decides to return to the Takagi's house, we leave the two monsters and the three of us go through the fence, the guards just give us a look and continue their work. We walked to the mansion as it is the place where everyone went, but when we got to the door I hear an argunt from the other side of the house.
Because one of the voices belongs to Hirano it draws my attention even more, I look at the girls and they nod, then we change course where the sound cos from. Turning around the corner of the house I find Hirano kneeling on the floor while holding his gun and a man tries to snatch it.
"No! You can't take it off ... this weapon is my life!!”
"Brat, I tell you to drop the gun now!"
Around them were more of Soichiro’s n, but I also see Komuro and Rei from my group, they both had an expression that said they didn't know what to do with this situation. Since everyone was focused on Hirano and the guy who he was arguing with, nobody notices us.
Or perhaps instead of discussion I should say that the man seed to be intimidating him, because I could only see Hirano holding the gun desperately while crying. I quickly understand what is happening, but to confirm it, I check Komuro and Rei with my eyes again, after that, I get my colt sowhat angry, aiming at the sky and shooting.
"Alexander-kun!"
Everyone's attention changes to us, or rather to . Hirano, when he seeing
rejoices and quickly approaches my side because that man had released his weapon due to the surprise of the shot, and when he recovers he puts his annoying eyes on . He try to say sothing, but I speak first addressing Komuro and Rei.
"Where are your weapons?"
"T-that ..."
"... They took them"
"As I said, it is dangerous for so children to bring weapons with them, quick, you also give
your weapons."
"Are you idiots? Why the hell do you give up your weapons because soone else tells you ?! "
Komuro stutters trying to find words to say, right away Rei responds with her head looking down and then they tremble a little for my voice that had risen when I hear their answers. The man was completely ignored by , he gets more upset and walk towards , then extends his arm and tries to hold my shoulder.
"Ah! Don't do that ..."
"Did you not hear ?!"
Kurisu tries to warn him of sothing, but he doesn't listen to her and yells while trying to grab , before he can put a finger on , I take his hand with mine, pull him and kick behind one of the knees making him fall in front of
with his back to , I imdiately place the colt's cannon on his temple while I say kindly to him.
"Aaaah !!"
"Haaa, that's why I was trying to tell you to stop"
"Give
back my weapons now!"
Co on man, I don't think it's that hot ... oh damn, smoke is coming out of his skin, is no surprise that he began to struggle as if I were killing him. The other n from Soichiro’s group who watched the show, seeing the situation change co closer and one of them yelled at .
"Hey boy, what are you doing, release him fast!"
"Sure, I have no problem with that. Just give
back my weapons."
"You didn't hear it, it's dangerous for you to bring weapons, you can hurt yourself or soone else, that's why all of you must hand over your weapons and let us the adults protect you."
"I don't want to hear your nonsense, I want my weapons now. Otherwise the only tal you'll get from
will be the bullets in your body."
At the end of my sentence I remove the weapon from the temple of the kneeling guy and aim it at the person who was speaking, when he sees the cannon in his direction he steps back in fear. When things get quiet when and we reach a stalemate because none of them take out my weapons and I don't want to shoot, at that mont Soichiro's voice is heard behind .
"What's going on here?"
I turn my head and see him walking along with Yuriko-san and the others who had left with her. They must have heard the shot and ca to check what was happening, seeing Soichiro, who responds to him, is the kneeling person.
"Takagi-san help
please, this kid is crazy"
Tch, you shouldn't say bad things about
in front of Yuriko-san, what if she believes you? I will put the cannon back on him if he speaks again ... after his words I explain in my defense.
"He is lying, I just kindly asked them to return my weapons"
Everyone puts their eyes on , then on the kneeling guy who had tears in the eyes because of the pain caused by the burn of his temple, and then on the gun in my hands. Kurisu shakes her head while holding her forehead with one hand, Saeko turns her head the other side so we can't see her, but I can hear that she is trying to suppress her laugher and Hirano swallows a mouthful of saliva while staring at .
Komuro, Rei and the others have only drops of sweat sliding down their face, nobody says anything and everyone is left without knowing how to answer ... well, it is understandable that they doubt my words, then I use my last resort, I smiled innocently in this child’s body that I have.
"... For now I just want soone to explain to
what happened”
“That’s right, so please put down the weapon Alexander-kun"
Although I didn't get the reaction that I wanted from them, they at least talked ... although it would have been better if they got on my side and scolded those guys. Doesn't everyone stand on the side of a cute boy smiling instead of so guy full of dirt crying?
"Maybe it was because of the gun?"
"... well in part that's why, but your smile... more than cute ... it's intimidating, Alex."
Kurisu who is by my side as if reading my thoughts answers my murmurs ... it seems that my smile is not as innocent as I thought, that explains why many tremble when I do it. Following Yuriko-san's instructions I put away the gun and get away from the kneeling guy, I look at Soichiro and answer his question.
"I was just trying to recover the weapons that your n took from those in my group"
Soichiro looks at
and passes his eyes to the other n waiting for them to speak, the kneeling guy rose slowly proceeds to give his opinion of what happened.
"Takagi-san, we just thought it was dangerous for children to carry weapons. So we wanted to confiscate them, everyone was obedient at first, only the boy in glasses refused. Then this crazy boy ca and made things worse."
Soichiro listens to everything the guy says, process his words and nods, he then looks at
and speaks like giving a verdict.
"I think what he says is the right thing, weapons are not toys is better-"
"Stop, stop, don't go around there Soichiro. Looks like you're confusing several things here-"
"P-please Soichiro-san, don't get mad at Alex, weapons are important to him"
I interrupt what Soichiro wanted to say because I had an idea where he was going with this conversation, but before I could explain my point Kurisu stops
and talks when see him raising an eyebrow and because he didn’t like that I interrupted.
"Wait Kurisu, he needs to hear this, if not, he’ll continue to misunderstand things"
"Okay, let him talk. I want to hear what he has to say"
Removing Kurisu's hand from my mouth, I speak to her, preventing her from stopping
again. With Soichiro's words, she gives up and only stays beside
worried because things can have a bad developnt.
"Well, the first thing you are wrong about is that I did not co here to ask for your protection or that of others. I will never put my life in the hands of soone else, I will live making my own decisions and die in the sa way, the only thing I would depend on to survive are my own hands and the tools that I can handle with them, not other people. "
"So you are saying you don't trust other people?"
When I say that my [Soul Of the Emperor] aura is activated, Soichiro reacts to the pressure for an instant, but due to his level he recovers quite quickly and passes his eyes on all the people around . I can notice Kurisu a little discouraged by my side, so I shake my head and corrected him.
"Trust and dependence are very independent words of themselves. I trust Kurisu, Saeko and the others, I can accept their help, but I will not put the weight of my life on them to carry it, it only corresponds to .
Just take a look around, your house had to beco a small fortress because your closest neighbors are trying to eat you. So the only way to take my weapons away is to kill
first, since losing them ans that the next thing they would take from
is my life."
Kurisu smiles again and the others also cheer up, even Soichiro's lips rise a little. He nods and talks to his n.
"You have already listened, there are no children here, and these are only people responsible for themselves. Give him back his weapons, since everything is solved, let's go inside to keep talking."
"Y-yes, Takagi-san"
So n bring Komuro and Rei's weapons and hand them over, after achieving my goal I nod to Soichiro and we walk ho with everyone. We entered and can observe the interior of this one, it looked like an old mansion, but I don’t an by that that it was worn out, only that the facade was rustic.
It was decorated in a refined way, but without any extravagance, it coincides well with the character of the Takagi couple, but although it did not look so luxurious you could see that they lived a good life economically, far superior to that of an average person.
"Let's go to the eting room to talk"
"Sure"
We walk through the corridors until we reach a room with a large table for many people, adorned with paintings in the wall of what should have been the Soichiro’s ancestors. Everyone starts to take a seat, so I also take a place with Kurisu and Saeko by my side. Although I already knew it, I asked the question that was in everyone's head so that they would also find out.
"Do you know how the general situation is in other parts after infection?”
"We lost contact with the capital and the governnt the previous day, but what we could discover before that happened was that things are very bad. What we face is a worldwide pandemic, so it is impossible for any governnt or organization to send help anywhere.
That practically ans that we are on our own and have to maintain our safety for ourselves. Thanks to our influence, Yuriko and I were able to organize a group between our acquaintances and neighbors to fight and save more survivors and make this place safe. "
With Soichiro's answers, everyone in the place showed serious and worried faces. Well, the atmosphere was not that depressing because the previous night we already had this kind of conversation, they had were sowhat expecting to receive this news. Even so, hearing the confirmation and not just a re speculation has so impact on them.
"Well, we had already known that things could be very bad, we just have to keep doing what have done so far. Survive with our own strength in this world, at least we are not completely alone, we have ourselves to support each other”
"Alexander-kun is right, don't be discouraged since that won't help at all."
I try to lift everyone's mood and Yuriko-san follows after with her words, the others raise their heads and nod strongly. With the revived environnt I talk about the problem that worried
more than anything.
"We need to change the camp location, although you have made an effort trying to reinforce the surroundings, it will not resist if a large group of zombies attack us"
In the ani I rember that in the end this camp is invaded by a large group of zombies, and if the plot continues the sa way, it makes no sense to protect a place that is dood to have its defenses broken.
