...My life...well...it feels like a rip off from a cheesy romance anime right now.
I mean...Saeko made me lunch...that alone is fine...ish...but...Uhh...let's see...She placed the plates next to each other, and ever since taking a seat...she did not even try to 'hide' the fact that she was staring at me. So i only managed to take a couple of bites before turning to stare back at her.
"You don't like it?" She asks as she tilts her head, her eyebrows making a slightly worried frown.
"That...should be my question. You haven't even touched your food yet..." I answer as i look at her.
"I'm...just a bit anxious...the only person that has really tasted my cooking is my father...if you exclude Miss Shizuka's house...though i guess in the end, we didn't manage to actually eat back there..." She says as she turns to look at my plate.
"Hmm...i don't have much to weight it against...it's much better than my cooking, so...yea, i definitely won't say no to another chance at eating what you can make" Saeko listening to my answer finally smiles and nods before speaking up again.
"You can cook?" She asks as she picks her fork and knife. She made western food...was it because i was not Japanese?...I'm looking at a full-sized steak here...as in western size, thus the lack of chopsticks...
"Uhh, well i was living by my self, wasn't i?" I answer as i cut a small part of the steak and bring it close to my mouth.
(Truth is... i didn't cook even once ever since coming here...but i do 'know' how to cook...still my cooking skills are...wet paper level.)
"Hmm, i would like to..."
"Nope, not going to happen, for your sake" I cut off Saeko as she tries to speak. She just turns to stare at me, i kept looking at my plate. Seconds later she giggled and turned back to her own plate.
The rest of the 'lunch break' went on without us speaking...though i did catch Saeko giving me an occasional 'sneak' peek.
Once we were done Saeko then took the plates to the sink to wash them, good thing too, as i intended to return here after the mall fell. The last thing i need is having the place stink like rotten food. Now, why i wanted to return here? Two reasons mainly.
The first one was that with a garage this big, we could easily hide the Humvee inside if we somehow managed to move the jeep out of the way...the second was...the wooden boat...if it's somehow connected to the anime...then i know where that boat is headed...
"You sure you don't want any help?" I ask as i look at the sink.
"Naier, it's just two plates" She responds with a chuckle as she turns to look at me.
"Alright, i will be on the couch, don't think i want to toss around duffle bags with a full stomach." I say as i turn around and walk towards the living room...only to realize...
(Huh...there is no couch here...what the hell?)
I dart my head around and spot two recliners in the corner.
(Hmm, that could work)
I walk over to the recliners and then drag them to the center of the room, next to the giant table...don't know..having them in the corner...nudged me the wrong way. I then put them in a facing position and sit on one, while i put my legs on the other...and yea i had taken off my shoes at the bathroom, before eating.
I let out a small sigh and look at the giant screen.
(Only if you worked and had a console under you...while if i'm more of a PC type of guy...i would be fine with just about anything right about now...expect of sports games, never liked sports games)
I chuckle to my self and close my eyes after fixing the mask and balaclava that i had warped around my right shoulder...
I..must have nearly fallen asleep before i heard footsteps near me...and as i was about to take my legs off the second recliner...something stopped me...then... i felt pressure on the left part of my hip, which followed up to my left shoulder, along with something slithering on my back.
I slightly open one eye to see Saeko's face resting on my shoulder, her eyes closed and her free hand placed near my neck. She was also in her 'normal' clothing.
(Well...maybe i can't play video games...but...this is a good damn alternative)
I close my eyes again and...i'm pretty sure i fell asleep.
... ... ...
...You know...there is something i'm forgetting...i'm sure of it...there is something i forgot...but what...
The car with the zombies?...Nahh, i closed that...the doors that lead outside?...Nope, closed them too...
Uhhh...the gas stove...No, Saeko was the one that cooked...uhhh...what am i forgetting...
I..felt my self waking up...because my left shoulder felt...wet...I open my eyes to look at Saeko...
(..Uhh...Saeko...drools...i forgot that Saeko drools...Oh come on...)
Saeko had her mouth slightly open, part of it touching my shoulder...and uhh...yea...that part felt wet...
(Uhh...well...it's not like i'm disgusted...i mean...we kissed...and it was not just our lips that touched...but...uhh...i can't sleep now, i feel wet...i don't like feeling wet...I could try to close her mouth but...i don't want to wake her up...actually, how long have i been asleep?...i don't feel tired if that counts for anything)
I look around the room without trying to move too much. The sun was still out...and it didn't seem to be any darker outside...
(Hmm..the rich dude might have a wristwatch)
And well...now i was stuck on the chair with Saeko being off to dreamland...
(If i'm rooted here...might as well make the best of it. Lets see...if we count the anime timeline...
After the group returns...Takashi, Kohta and Asami have a chat on how the clinic was a total failure, while the rest talk about several things, such as Kohta and Asami or how there is somebody or something for each one that keeps them going. This is were Saeko and Rei think of Takashi...or how Saeko mentions that if the guys in the group end up going got out of control they, as in the girls, must do everything they can for them...in other words that was a mild way of saying, 'fuck them till they calm down'...
Yea i'm having mixed feelings about that memory now...Anyway...after that Asami sees the dead cop and snaps, lashing out at Khota. This is where the group prepares to leave...now...so far i didn't manage to get rid of that dead cop...and depending how 'late' i will be when i return to the mall...I might end up being too late...as it would be much worse if i get caught while i'm trying to deal with the corpse...worse that Asami just seeing it...Hmm... well i could...)
Saeko then starts moving about. She lifts her free hand in the air, arching her back as she stretches with a moan. Taking a deep breath shortly after.
(...I'm...not...staring...)
Yea, no. I was staring...hard...i mean, give me a break here...Saeko rubs her eyes with one hand before opening them to look at me...at least she was not drooling now.
"Hmm...how...long did we sleep?" She asks with drowsy eyes.
As she moved about her hand ended up on the spot where her head was at...she blinks several times before turning to look at the wet stain on my shirt...or...well where the stain would normally be at, you know, black clothes. None the less Saeko's eyes instantly snap open as she tries to get up...
"Aaahh i'm so soo.o..owh!" Was all she managed to say before she slipped backward because of the award position, ending up with her back on the floor, her legs still on mine.
"You know, if you'll end up killing your self because you drooled on me, then i'd rather have you droll on me...i hope this did not come off as weird as i think it just did..." I say fix my posture and extend my arm to Saeko. She then takes my arm as she gets up.
"I'm really, really sorry" Was the first thing she said as she lowered her head.
"It's fine, now if you keep saying that you're sorry, then...i'll be mad" I say in a joking manner.
"I really didn't mean to..."
"Aaaand, no more of it, i said it's fine...or...you don't believe me?" I ask as i raise my eyebrows and stare at Saeko...She...just stayed quiet, her face slightly red.
"So this is the fabled trap question...hmm...i think your skills are starting to rub off on me" I say as i get up and pat her head. Saeko just lets out a slight sigh and smiles.
"As for your question, i got no idea how long we slept...no clocks...so i will check the male corpse in the garage. Usually, guys with suits like these wear expensive wristwatches, if we are lucky and he has a mechanical one, then we can see the time" I say as i stretch and start walking towards the garage.
"Alright...i will get my sword and join up with you. You said that we needed to carry some stuff didn't you?" Saeko responds with a mild tone as she moves towards the kitchen, her face still as red.
"Yea that too" I respond as i open the garage door.
Before i moved inside i looked at the bloody floor around the corpse.
(I better get my shoes.)
And so after going to the bathroom and wearing my boots and armguards. I then went to the corpse that was lying head down and checked its arms, and sure enough, i saw a silver watch on his left arm. I kneel down and look at the watch, it was still ticking.
"You people...are like an ssr drop in a mobile game" I say as i take the watch and look at the time.
(Five and forty)
I then check the man's pockets and find the keys that i think belonged to the house.
Just then, Saeko also walked into the room.
"Five and forty" I say as i turn to her and show her the watch in my hand before shoving it to my pocket.
"Not going to wear it?" She asks as she tilts her head.
"Too shiny for my likes" I respond as i move to the two duffle bags.
"These two...hmm...we need as much as we can from one duffle bag, the one with the gas canisters, the other...we can take what seems important...so let's see if we can fit all that in the two hiking bags" I say as i point at the duffle bags and then at the thinking bags. Saeko nods and walks up next to me.
(While i'm aiming to return here...i don't want to leave all that stuff..what if the house gets raided while we are gone..or we just can't come here in the end)
We then emptied the two duffle bags and also took everything out of the hicking bags, then started putting things back into the hicking bags, by order of importance...it went something like...Water filter/purifier, gas stove, canisters, books and lastly the disinfectants. The tools did not catch too much space so we just shoved them in as well, don't know if Shizuka knows how to use that type of stuff though. We mostly ignored disinfectants as we just looted the clinic and Saeko told me that we took a good amount of stuff like that in 'our' bags.
In the end, we had one hicking bag with the medical stuff, out of the fifteen books we took eight. We also did put some medical bottles in the small pockets of the hicking bag that could not fit anything else, and we kept the water treatment pills that were already in the bags, along with the medical tools and the stove.
The gas canisters...we had to take the duffle bag itself, the hicking bag did not fit even half of them inside...
"What's in the duffle bag over there?" Saeko asks as she moves towards the one that i had tossed aside, the one that had all the...'female' stuff.
Saeko peered inside the bag...her eyes then went slightly wide as she just turned around and came back to me.
"Curiosity killed the cat?" I ask with a slight smirk, Saeko just laughed awkwardly as she scratched her cheek.
I then take the balaclava and mask off my shoulder and wear them before turning back to her...she looked at me for a couple of seconds and...
"Just when i was starting to get used to your face" She says as she slightly tilts her head.
"...Getting used huh...never realized my face was so bad that it needed getting used too" I say as i raise an eyebrow. Saeko giggles and shakes her head.
"...You know that's not what i meant." She responds as she smiles at me. i nod as i laugh through my nose and turn to the bags.
"Ok...so...we need to find a road that goes...uhh" I lift the duffle bag and pass it over my shoulder, the move an pick up the crowbar.
"If we leave the house from the front, we need to keep moving straight" Saeko adds right after.
"Right...hmm...i wonder" I walk back to the trunk and take the keys. Then walk to the driver's seat and open the door, put the keys in the ignition switch, and flip them...nothing.
"Pfft, expensive car my ass, doesn't even have E.M.P protection." I say in a half-joking manner i close the door.
"Do you remember how many intersections we passed to get from the mall to the clinic?" I ask as i turn to Saeko.
"Hmm...six...i think" She responds.
"Ok...plus two, three if we count the seaside road...so either nine, or ten in total" Saeko nods at me as i speak.
"The Humvee is to the right with the way we are facing it now...we moved a relatively long distance when we walked on the beach, so we need to leave and go right...if the corpse group is still there and has not moved, we need to count two intersections from them..otherwise we just take a random right intersection and keep going till we see the mall, it's a rather tall building after all" I say as i try to get a better grip on the bag...but uhh...didn't make me look any less stupid with the duffle bag looking like a sign over my head.
"Shotgun, and we're good to go." i say as i move to the living room and take the shotgun from the big table.
"...Right...sling." I groan as i take off the duffle bag and pass the shotgun over my shoulder before wearing the duffle bag again...
"Ok...now...ready?" I ask as i turn to Saeko and fix my jacket, she nods with a serious expression.
With that, we move to the front door. I open it and walk outside, Saeko follows behind me, before stopping to look behind her, at the insides of the house...
"Forgot something?" I ask. Saeko turns to me as she shakes her head with a smile.
"No, let's go" She responds as she closes the door.
"Ohh wait, wait, wait" I flail my arms as Saeko closes the door, causing her to freeze.
"Huh, wha..." I put the keys i took from the corpse and check if they fitted the door, which they did.
"This place would be a good spot if we ever need to leave the mall" I say as i turn to Saeko...she stayed quiet for some seconds before nodding. I then move to the front gate of the house and look outside.
"Uhh...better we go from the back" I point at the roaming corpses as i speak.
After i locked the gate and front yard door we turned around and went towards the gate we used to enter the building. The beach was...still clear.
(I would expect corpses to gather at the sea, ambient noise...yet they seem to avoid it...i wonder if they don't like water...i mean hypothetically speaking, if all they can do is hear and feel, being submerged would gimp both their senses...but can they 'not' like something in the first place?...they don't seem to have the mental capacity for it)
"Is something wrong? " Saeko asks. I realize that i was just staring at the gate without doing anything.
"No, i am just wondering why corpses ain't gathering at the sea...the the waves do make some noise after all...probably not loud enough?" I ask as i open the gate.
"Uhh...i don't know..." Saeko just lifts her shoulders slightly. After that, we closed the gate lock it and turned left, going back the same way we came.
We walked for a bit before i spotted the grouped up corpses in the distance...they...didn't seem to have moved...then again i didn't really check where they were the first time around...so i was just going by hunch.
"Ok we will go up on the upcoming staircase and then we will go left on the second intersection" I point at a set of stairs in the distance, Saeko nods without speaking.
And so, after reaching the stairs we went up and then continued straight until we reached the targeted intersection, that thankfully was clear. We then went up that intersection and i mean 'up' because it was once again an uphill road.
(I don't mean to whine...but should this duffle bag be this fucking heavy?...)
I groan under my breath as i kept walking up the road, Saeko in front of me with her hand on the sword's hilt. The corpses that roamed about were mostly by themself so we just avoided any parts of the road that had more than one corpse in close vicinity...and if we found a lone corpse clocking the way?...well...Saeko didn't seem to miss the chance the rip its arms off and beat it with them...uhh...actually she just decapitated them...though i can clearly imagine her doing the first one too.
"Can you keep going, want to stop for a bit?" She asks as she glances at me while we kept moving.
"I'm fine, you're the one jumping around with that sword, not me." I respond, Saeko just smiles before nodding, then turned to look at the street ahead.
Shortly after we reached the first intersection...which felt weird...because it was also on the top of the hill...I look around the intersection and then notice that there was a big rig at the end of the street to our right...with a crapload of corpses next to it.
"Hmm the big rig?...if it is on the next intersection to our right...that means we are one intersection next to the road we used...so we actually need to move one intersection left" I say as i turn to look at the road to our left and then at the street ahead. Truth is, the road ahead seemed to be in a much better condition...
"Are you sure we should go left?" Saeko asks as she looks at the corpses that roamed on the street.
"No, we can turn left later, worst case we will go all the way to the mall on this street, then turn on an intersection before we get too close, most roads there are in a better state if compared to here" I answer and i motion Saeko to keep moving forward with my hand, she nods and starts walking next to me.
( If we find a blocked off road ahead of us after we walked passed the clinic, we could then try to take the same road we used to come here...if our group didn't march like a parade on their return.)
The road we took started going downhill and much to my surprise, i could see that it was 'clear' for a relatively long distance.
(Then again if they did march back like a parade, like shooting a gun for example, corpses from this road might have moved away, or gathered to the right side of the road. Still, it makes me wonder...what are they doing right now?...
I mean in the manga they talked about the clinic incident...but we don't know if that's the first thing they did after returning...and while this time we had no deaths...the incident did happen, that being me and Saeko getting stranded. So...let's say that they don't give a single fig about me...Takashi would still want to at least try and save Saeko...huh...on one hand...it makes me extra salty that i know that he also likes her...on the other, i know that he will try to look after her...so i don't expect them to just write us off for dead.)
I stop thinking and take a look around me. I nod to my self and turn my head towards Saeko, who was now in front of me.
(So...i will say that instead of talking about the clinic's failure, they would be talking about rescuing us? That would probably end with some of them wanting to wait, while others will want to go out and search...now if that happens...i have no idea who would vote what...as from a logical point of view, going out to look for us is like looking for a needle in a haystack...a cannibalistic and batshit crazy haystack.
Then again, i can't see them just sitting on their thumbs either...so?...maybe they have somebody looking out for us on the roof...Kohta maybe? He did do this once before when mapping the surrounding area so it seems possible...but if he has Asami with him...and she is looking outside as well...she might spot the cop...uhh...well i'm just speculating here so i can't really tell, they could... )
"Naier we are nearing the clinic" Saeko speaks up as she turns to glance at me.
I look around but i could not make out anything that looked like the clinic, it was supposed to be on the intersection next to us after all.
"You counted the intersections we..."As i start speaking, Saeko casually wacks a corpse on the head with the blade's sheath, causing it to take several steps back before it fell on its ass...
I follow the corpse with my eyes until i was looking behind me...to see that the road we took had...a 'line' of corpses that were all moving about...as they laid on the ground...
"Passed...them" I turn to Saeko as i finish my sentence to see her nod with a 'mhm'.
(...I kind of forgot that she's a frigging badass with the way she acted back at the house...)
Soon we reached the next intersection and sure enough, i could see a small park in the distance to my right. I then turn to look straight ahead, to see that the road was indeed clear.
"We can keep going straight...so let's keep going straight, once we are near the mall, we will turn left one intersection, that will lead us to the Humvee" i move next to Saeko and point at the road ahead of us, and with that, we start moving again.
(Hmm...wait...one intersection?...as the road that leads to the clinic is a straight line that ends at the mall...this road should lead to the parking field. The Humvee was on the second intersection after that...so it's two intersection from where we are now...not one...)
"Uhh, nothing to be alarmed of, but it might be two intersections to the left, not one...without a map or some sort of drawing i can't remember the exact distance" I say as i scratch my mask.
"That isn't a problem, don't worry" Saeko, glances at me and smiles.
As we kept moving forward i noticed that the corpses that roamed about had actually gathered to the right part of the street.
"Hmm, looks like i was right...our group did go with the 'loud and stupid' approach, as the road to our right should be the road they took to return, and all the corpses are gathered towards the right" I say as i look at the corpse and walk-up at Saeko. Then motion her to move more to the left, and soon, we ended up walking next to each other. With Saeko to my right.
We kept going in silence for some time, what corpses were on the left part of the road, were the ones that could not move to begin with, stuck in a crashed car, or behind a dumpster...or walking up against a pole...you know...normal stuff.
"There is something i have been wondering for some time now..." Saeko begins talking as we walk.
"Why did you let Takashi become the group leader...so far...most of our decisions were made based on your actions and ideas..." She turns her head to me as she speaks.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"When Takashi wanted to go to the police station after he and Miyamoto got split from the group, you said we should meet up at the park instead. When we got stuck at the barricade near the estate, you were the one that thought of using the flashbang. At the estate, we went with your plan of using the Humvee to drive the horde away...and here...it was you who gave the 'payment' idea for team that went to the clinic..." She keeps staring at me after she finishes.
"For one...the reason i could make these decisions, was because i was not the leader, i find it easier to think when i don't have everybody over my head...and...well...i can bearly take care of a pet dog...no way i'm going to try and take care of a group of people" I say as i shrug...
"I see...so...you find it easier to move the threads behind the spotlight?...Alice must have known something to name you evil overlord" She says as she makes a slight grin. I chuckle as i shake my head.
"With the way i change nicknames, i wonder which one will be next...i still need to find who called me a Penguin" I tilt my head as i speak.
"Shizuka" Saeko answers flatly.
"...Huh...should have figured..." I say as i turn back to the street ahead.
(And...there is one more reason i don't want to lead... as most of my decisions were based under one important fact that you don't know...that i know what is going to happen...but...that isn't going to last...how long will it be until we reach Rei's mother?...After that...i'll lose the only 'real' power i had in this shitshow...I might be able to make decisions for my self...i mean, at least survived the power plant...but my decisions for the group were not on even ground compared to Takashi's...and after Rei's mother...Takashi might prove to be a better leader than me...this is why try to keep him on the steering wheel...)
And after some time had passed, that i saw a building that stood taller than the rest.
"I see the mall, not too far now" I look at the structure in the distance as i speak, Saeko nods as she also looks at the same direction.
"Should we turn left now?" She asks right after.
"Yea, first clear road, we go left two times" I respond.
And that turn ended up being two intersections later, from there we went straight and then turned right as the road ahead was not what you can call...safe...so we ended up going left again on the next intersection. The moment we reached the end of that road i looked around and...
(Huh...wait a minute...)
I look to my right to see a silver sedan with a couple of corpses surrounding it from the opposite direction that i was looking from...and to my left...a big group of corpses in the distance...to the right part of the street.
"I used this road with Takashi when we went to the Humvee, it should be on the right, past the silver sedan, next intersection has the tree cluster" I say as i point that the car that i took a break on with Takashi.
"Almost there" Saeko picks up the pace as we walked past the silver car and into the last straight line...
Which we passed with no real trouble, again...thanks to Saeko. The moment we reached the tree cluster i motion Saeko and we enter before taking a last look around us.
The moment we reached the spot that the Humvee was at i kneel down and check under the car before going to over to the trunk, i lift the net and put my hand in my pocket...
...
(...Are you shiting me?)
I put my hand in the other pocket and find the keys.
(Ohh never mind)
I let out a silent sigh before opening the trunk, i then carefully place the duffle back in a corner under the second net, Saeko gives me her bag which i also place in a corner under the net. After that i close the trunk, lock it and hide it under the net once again.
"And that's, that." I say as i turn around and stretch...
"Ohhh...wait a sec" I turn around and open the trunk again, the proceed to reload the shotgun and handgun.
"Shame we lost the second handgun magazine...oh well" I look at the handgun as i reload it.
"Got take the holster belt from my bag" I say to my self as i put the gun in my pocket.
I exit the car and turn to Saeko after locking it, tossing the net over it again.
"Ok...now we are over...ready?" I ask, Saeko nods at me before we both turned to leave the car...
(I didn't forget the keys did i ?)
I check my pocket to make sure the keys were in there as i walked.
And so, crowbar in hand we move back to the street and then instantly turn towards the road the led to the mall.
"How are we going to get inside?" Saeko asks as we start running.
"That...is a very good question...i could just shoot a gun to get their attention...but it won't be just their attention i will be getting" I answer.
We run past the first intersection and continued running down the road...which was still empty...yea..the road that Saeko went nuts when we first arrived...
The moment we reached the end of that road and walked into the parking field.
"Ok...well, time to summon the big bad boss" I take the handgun and point it at the corpses that were gathered all together to my left.
(Where is that cop girl...)
Several seconds later.
"Naier?" Saeko who was next to me with her sword drawn leans her head towards me.
"I'm trying to find the ugliest one" I replied as i keep looking down the gun's sights, i hear Saeko giggle next to me.
(Ughh, come on you little shit, where are you...)
"Umm, we have unwanted guests coming towards us...you might want to hurry a bit..." Saeko speaks up seconds later.
(God, work with me you stupid cop corpse.)
In the end, i just point at the closest corpse and pull the trigger.
"Alright let's go...and hope that the group inside got the message." I say as i motion Saeko with my head and start running towards the door.
Seconds later i see a pair of pink twin tails pop up from the edge of the mall's roof, and then they disappear as fast as they appeared.
The moment we reached the door we looked inside.
"At least leave a person to guard the door if you didn't write us off for dead..." I say as i look at the empty hallway.
"See...group leader decisions." Saeko says with a joking manner as she stands next to me.
"Well, i did wake half the block before thinking of this...so...fifty-fifty?" I answer as i turn to her.
"If you made only perfect decisions...then how would i make my self useful to you?" She says with a smile as she turns around and brandishes her sword, standing 'between' me and the oncoming corpses.
"By not dying for starters" I respond as i walk up next to her.
Saeko closes her eyes and continues smiling.
"Don't worry...I got no intention of dying...not when i just found my reason to keep living" She says as she turns to me, the smile still on her face.
(Well...that was straightforward)
All i could do...was stare back...i mean, sure i knew she probably felt like that by now...but hearing her say it was...you know...
And just then, the door behind us swung open.
"Well, i want you to keep on living too, so come on, let's go" I whisper her ear as i turn around and run to the door.
The moment we passed the mall's doors Takashi and Rei shut them close and started to re-barricade.
"Impeccable timing." I say as i put the handgun in my pocket, Takashi nodded after giving me a glance.
After that, the four of us moved towards a room on the first floor, where the rest of the group was at...the room looked like that same one that the group used to talk about the clinic in the manga...also where Asami saw the cop corpse...and...
"Saeko, Penguin!" That was Shizuka.
"Saeko, Mister Overlord!" That was Alice.
"Saeko, Idiot!" That was Saya.
"Bark, bark!"...I don't even wanna know what Zeke called me.
"Saeko, Naier!" At least Kohta got my name right. Asami who was next to him just smiled with her mouth wide open.
"Uhh how many names do i have again?" I ask my self in a silent voice as the group gathered around.
"See, i told you they would be fine!" Kohta says the moment he got near.
"Y..yea." Takashi responds as he glances at Saeko.
"Still you two need to stop being so reckless" Shizuka speaks up next as she tries to make a serious face.
Saeko nodded..i..wanted to shrug...but...uhh...i'd probably be dead then and there if i tried to brush this off, so just i nodded as well.
"Yea...Naier might have ended in a tight spot because of circumstance...but Saeko, you ended up putting your self in danger by decision, what if you didn't manage to jump over that corridor" Takashi add's up right after.
Before either of us could speak Saya walks up to me and point her finger to my face.
"The point is avoiding being put in a tight spot to begin with, something you don't seem to get. First in the estate, now this...do i need to tie you to a chair to keep you under control?" Saya hisses at me.
"Yea! You need to stop being bad! You made Saya really sad! She didn't want to eat! And she stayed up on the roof looking for you the moment she heard that you didn't return! She was really worried!" Alice starts shouting as she points her finger at me and...oh boy did she just lay it out flat...Saya's face must have changed to every single shade of red in existence.
"M-munchkin! What are you saying?! I, i was not worried about him! I.. i was worried that we might end up losing two people from our group because he is an idiot!" She shouts back at Alice as she grabs her by her cheeks and pulls them.
"Buut Shayaaa...Ooowweee!" Was the only thing Alice managed to say
"It's, big sister for you! And you! stop being an idiot and stop staring at me like an idiot!" She darts her head to me right after.
"Saya...you'll never get what you truly desire if you act like this." I turn my head to see that it was Saeko who said that.
(Huh...wait...what...did she just?)
"Wh..Wha...What are you talking about...I..." Saya, probably being as surprised as i was, froze...her hands still pulling on Alice's cheeks.
"I want to clean my self up, i got blood on me, so if you excuse me" Saeko, still with a smile, cuts Saya off as she turns around and walks away.
Now everybody was looking as weirded out as i was...except for Alice, who was smiling...i think...maybe she was sending signals for help?...i can't really tell...
"I'm...uhh...going to the roof..." I say as i turn around and walk away...i had that feeling that if i stayed there longer...i would end up getting a chair to the face, Saya style.
Plus...you know...i had a whole mall getting overrun thing to deal with...
