" Are you really sure?"
"Absoutely ! "
Throwing a kind of club, at Takashi, Hisashi suddenly got into an attack position, as he often did during his training and karate tournaments.
" I absolutely must train again! And even harder than before, if I don't want to become an embarrassment for the group."
" However you want. " Takashi said, lifting his gun.
Then running towards Hisashi, he aimed his club at the level of his abdomen. Countering him by bending his elbow, the boy gave him time to attack a second time. Bending down, he managed to get out of the weapon's path in time. Then deciding to attack, he swept the boy off balance.
" But that … ?"
Falling back, Takashi finally saw Hisashi getting up, before pretending to hit him in the face. Touching the ground, Takashi, shivering, finally turned his gaze to Hisashi's arm, which had struck the ground, an inch from his head.
" You wanted to hit me, didn't you?"
"If I had wanted to do it, you would have been knocked out even before launching any attack. " Hisashi retorted.
Getting to his feet, while growling, Takashi finally asks him.
"And then, first of all, why do you want to fight with your bare hands, when you won't stand a chance against a giant?"
" Maybe I can do it. " He assured. " Look at Sanji! He fights without a weapon and without having eaten a devil fruit!
" Yes, but he's a superhuman monster! Just like the rest of his crew! I would say there is just Usopp which is pretty much normal. "
The laughter of a hyena was suddenly heard. Turning around the two boys saw Bellamy snickering as he leaned against a tree. Having witnessed their "fight" to distract himself a little, he finally asserted.
" To be honest, all the people in our world called them weirdos! It must be said that Mugiwara, in the space of two years, has managed, on his own, to cause more chaos than a shichibukai and even a yonko would have done! This is why the Navy is doing everything to capture him. "
" However, he is nice. " Hisashi remarked.
" Oh, let's say he gets into trouble easily, when he wants to save his friends! In our world, three places symbolize the power of world government! Enies Lobby, the city of justice! Impel Down, the world's most secure prison! And Marineford, where the Navy headquarters was! To save Nico Robin, Mugiwara caused the destruction of Enies Lobby! To help his brother, he became the only person to infiltrate and come out of Impel Down, along with hundreds of prisoners! And to follow, he did a lot of damage during the war, in Marineford! He also beat three Shichibukais and practically allied himself with everyone else! Finally, he fought alongside Whitebeard, a Yonko! He faced Blackbeard, at Impel Down! And he wanted to declare war on Kaido, with Trafalgar! Because of all this, he is now one of the worst generation of hackers. ''
" It's hard to believe when you see it for the first time. " Takashi remarked, despite the fact that he was having a little trouble understanding how much Luffy had done wrong.
" In any case, if I want to be as strong as him, I have a lot of progress to make. " Hisashi chuckled, knowing he could never match the power of the pirate. "Maybe I'll take one of Law's syringes."
Turning her gaze to him, Bellamy finally crouches down before announcing to him.
"If you want, I can be your opponent. ''
"Huh? " Hisashi wondered.
" I'm a good fighter. '' Assured the man. '' Would you like to try ? ''
'' Ok ! ''
He quickly regretted that simple word. Indeed, suddenly transforming his legs into springs, the pirate surprised the two boys by leaping towards Hisashi.
'' SPRING DEATH ! ''
His eyes widened, Hisashi could only cough up blood, the instant Bellamy's fist hit his abdomen. Unable to cope with so much force, his body found itself thrown back. Not understanding what was going on, Takashi finally turned around, the instant his friend collapsed to the ground, ten yards away.
" Hi… Hisashi? "
" I ate the spring fruit, which allows me to turn my limbs into springs! I faced Mugiwara a short time ago and, despite my power, he gave me a beating! Bellamy explained to him! If you can't even bite me the wound, know that you won't stand a chance against him. ''
Seeing Hisashi trying to get up, he finished.
" If you want to fight again, against me, come see me! I'd be happy to take you down again."
"You little…" Hisashi began, before losing consciousness.
"Waouh, what is this machine?"
Having gone to the barn of the farm, Franky finally saw the huge combine that contained the building.
" It's the first time I see that. "
Following closely behind, while Kurokami stayed behind, Miura asserted.
" We use that to cultivate the fields! Nick-san doesn't use it anymore now that the gasoline is out. "
Seeing the cyborg advancing towards the craft and giving it little knocks to see if it was solid, Kurokami ended up asking him.
" What do you plan to do with it?"
"The metal of the Jepp from the other day only covered the front of our means of transport! We're going to bone this thing and completely cover the mini-bus with the metal plates! In addition, we can always use the kinds of blades that are in front. "
" It's a claw reel. " Miura told him. " It's to cut the wheat. "
"Alright, in that case we can take it and put in some bigger, stronger blades so we can run into a horde of zombies and slice them up before they can do anything. "
Suddenly interested, Kurokami wanted to know.
"Do you like to create weapons?"
"Sure ! That's even why I have weapons in my body. "
" In this case, I thought of something. " The boy confessed, suddenly showing a plan.
Spreading it out on the floor, he finally showed a drawing of the bus, with some improvements.
" What is that ? " Wanted to know Miura.
" I thought of installing weapons under the bus. " The boy explained to him. "You know, like cars that have flamethrowers on the sides! These monsters may have few weak points, but their bodies are nonetheless sensitive to the flames, if you know what I mean. "
" Install flamethrowers under the bus? " Franky repeated, starting to think.
Scratching his chin, he finally said.
" For that, I will have to triple the thickness of the sheet metal so that the vehicle does not burn too. ''
" Are you really going to try?" Kurokami wondered.
" I can always try! Still, I would need Law to go get me some tips and tools. "
" Speaking of weapons, now that we can get on the roof of the mini-bus, we can put a gun there! Miura noticed! Like a big machine gun. "
"No, no, no ! " Franky retorted, with a small smile. " In fact, I thought of better than that. "
" What ? "
'' Do you want to build a cannon? "
" Can ... non ? " Repeated the two boys, as if they didn't know the word.
Finally, after a few seconds, they both widened their eyes before they started to scream.
" For real ? "
" Come ! " Franky advised them. " First of all, let's find a place that we can use as a workshop."
" OK ! " Asserted Kurokami, who was, for the first time, happy to build something.
" Where does your sudden good humor come from? " Miura asked.
" Compared to Kohta, I'm not interested in small firearms. " The boy taught him. " What interests me, there are heavy weapons! Like a bazooka, missiles or whatever! That interests me. "
" You're scaring me. " His friend sighed, suddenly stopping.
" A problem ? " Wanted to know the high school student.
Following his gaze, he was surprised to see Zoro and Saeko perform a few movements with their sabers, under the admiring eye of the three children of the group, Mary understood. Each of them even now had a wooden sword in their hands, while Zoro explained to them how to properly hold their weapon as well as the basics.
" A saber is not a toy! " He asserted, while Saeko tried to hurt him. " If you ever think otherwise, even for a single second, you will find yourself with your head separated from the body, in a fight! And above all, you must not underestimate your opponent under any circumstances! Try not to forget it. "
Suddenly hitting Saeko's weapon, he exerted enough force to throw her back and knock her away. With his blade now under Saeko's throat, he finally turns to the children before declaring.
" Your fight will only be over when you are sure that your opponent is disarmed and unable to do anything! Plus, never take your eyes off it! Because if not … "
Taking advantage of his not looking at her anymore, Saeko tried to kick him in the shin. Seeming to anticipate her gesture, Zoro parried his attack using one of his scabbards. Punching her hard, Saeko winced as Zoro put his sword back to her throat.
" You see ? It only takes a single moment of deconcentration for your opponent to take the opportunity to attack you! I want you to keep this in mind. "
Suddenly putting his sword away, while Saeko went to fetch his, he turned to the three children, before grabbing one of his scabbards and brandishing it in front of him.
" Now, try to hit me, all three! While you try to touch me, I will try to correct you. "
Continuing to watch them, Miura finally put a small smile on his face, seeing the three children being pushed back without harm, while Zoro had one hand behind his back.
Surprised to see him smile, Kurokami questioned him.
" You're not going to tell your sister to stop?"
" In normal times, I would have done it. " Asserted his friend. " Nevertheless, considering what is going on in the world, it might be good for Mary to know how to fight! Even if I want to think otherwise, I can never be with her always, to protect her! I couldn't even do it for my mom!
Suddenly seeing him go, Kurokami began to watch him go, before telling him.
" Even if your mother is dead, in front of your eyes, you don't have to feel guilty! Even if you may think otherwise, you were able to save your sister's life by going to look for her! If, instead, you had run away like a coward, she would no longer be of this world! You don't have to blame yourself for the rest! You have done your best and you can continue to do so to ensure that your sister can recognize the happiness of living in a world without the slightest zombie. "
Stopping then, Miura ends up passing his hand in front of his eyes, while turning his back on his friend. However, the sobbing sounds they could hear made Kurokami realize that he was crying. Approaching him, he patted him on the back, before passing him.
" Let's try to avenge our families by getting rid of the one who is the cause of this evil. "
" Y ... Yes! " Miura asserted, before following him.
Eyes widening, Chopper was looking at the entire collection of drugs and medicine books Law had crammed into a room. Among all the vials, much of their contents were unknown to the little reindeer, who was already beginning to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, trying to find the drugs in the medicine books. Nonetheless, his ecstasy vanished the instant he realized he couldn't read any books, all of which were written in Japanese.
" How do I read this? " He wanted to know. " It is illegible! Yet Robin had no trouble reading books dealing with the history and geography of this world. "
Sighing, he was about to close his book, when he felt two hands grab it. Lift off the ground, he cried.
" Not now, Toshimi! I … "
Turning around, he saw that Mizusu was the one holding him in her hands. Smiling at him, she asked him.
" Can I talk to you ? "
" Enough to ? " The reindeer asked her, as she put him back on the ground.
" Toshimi made me understand that she had remembered what had happened in high school, before you came to help us. "
" She had already told me that she had regained her memory. " The animal taught her. " And so, how did it go?"
'' Do you think I still deserve to stay with her? " Asked the schoolgirl.
" What ?
"I tried to abandon her, and run away without helping her! Yet even knowing this, Toshimi decided to forgive me and even asked me to stay with her. "
Suddenly clenching her fist, she asserted.
" I'm really ashamed of what I did! I want to do anything! Yes, anything to fix my fault! But I do not know how. "
'' Yet since we left high school, you keep doing something to help her. " Retorted the reindeer.
" What ? "
" I already told you ! Toshimi has a fragile mind! She was already mentally unstable when we went to her place! She was convinced that her family had perished and that it was not worth it for her to live any longer! You are the only person who, by staying with her, managed to prevent her from sinking into depression! Even if we may think otherwise, I know that it takes little for her to give up all desire to live! So stay with her and back there! That's all I have to advise you to do. "
Listening to him, Mizusu suddenly pulled his hat down in front of his eyes and chuckled as the reindeer struggled.
" Hey, what are you doing? "
" Many people say that animals have no conscience and do not feel the slightest emotion. "
Losing her smile, she ends up lifting Chopper's hat, before noticing.
" Nevertheless, of the two of us, you are the one who looks the most like a human! You are not a monster. "
Finding himself frozen for a few moments, Chopper ends up squirming in all directions before affirming, smiling.
" Stop it, idiot! I already told you that compliments don't do anything with me. "
Then stopping that, he finally resumed his reading, before starting to sigh.
" I don't understand Japanese. "
Suddenly having an idea, he turned to Mizusu before asking him.
" Do you want ...? "
He fell silent when he saw that the young girl was no longer in the room.
" Eh ? Where is she ? "
Having quietly left the room, Mizusu was now heading into the farmyard and eventually saw the person she was looking for. Helping Naomi and Morita fix the roof of the chicken coop, Toshimi was nailing a plank when she heard it.
" Toshimi! I have a job for you. "
" Hum? " Toshimi wondered, seeing Mizusu walking towards her. " What ? "
" I think Chopper is looking for someone to teach him Japanese. " She taught her. " He needs it to be able to find his way into his medication. "
Realizing that she had an opportunity to help the animal, Toshimi immediately rushed towards the room as Morita cried out from the top of the roof.
" Wait, at least help us finish this. "
" Leaves, I'll do it. " Mizusu assured, rolling up his sleeves.
Listening first to what to do, she ended up grabbing a hammer, before starting to hammer nails into a plank of wood.
"I would never go back to being who I was before!" She thought. " I must fight! Yes, until I manage to get Toshimi to safety. "
Cutting a huge log of wood, with a large saw, Takuzo and Yamada cut it into two pieces. Holding an ax, Tsunoda grabs hold of the pieces of wood, in order to cut them further into kindling. Then storing them in a small hut, he asserted.
" With that, the farmer has enough to have wood for the whole winter. ''
"He doesn't use electric heat anymore." Takuzo explained to him, wiping his forehead. " That's why he uses his fireplace and why Sanji wants wood to power a stone oven he plans to build. ''
Watching the boy growl, he finally asks him.
'' What is it with you suddenly wanting to help us? Without wanting to be mean, you usually always stay in your corner. ''
" Let's say I needed to let off steam." The boy asserted, spinning a few reels with his ax." And you, why aren't you with your girlfriend? ''
" She's already helping Morita and Nick-san. " Takuzo informed him.
Suddenly seeing his gaze darken, Yamada questioned him.
'' There is a problem ? ''
"No, nothing," the boy lied to him, trying to regain his smile.
Trying to change the conversation, he put his arm around Yamada's shoulders before asking her.
" What about you? Is there a girl that interests you in the group? ''
Immediately starting to blush, the boy made it clear that Takuzo had hit a sore spot.
'' A girl ? Huh, I… ''
Suddenly twisting his two index fingers while looking down, he began to whisper.
"Huh… actually… I… yes! In fact, I've always been drawn to… Kawamoto! ''
'' Oh ? " Takuzo said. " And did you ever ask her what she thinks of you? ''
'' Me ? You're ill ? I'm sure I'm not his type. ''
"Yeah! " Tsunoda had to say, remembering the moment he saw the young girl kissing Taniuchi. " Unless she's bisexual, he doesn't stand a chance. "
"You have to go tell her what you think about her," Takuzo assured, hitting the boy in the chest. "Come on, go see her and show the man in you. ''
"But… I… I…"
Suddenly leaving, he asserted.
"No, I can't. ''
Seeing him flee, Tsunoda finally approves.
" He doesn't stand a chance. ''
'' Do not say that. " Takuzo retorted, picking up the saw again. "If he gains confidence in himself, maybe he will succeed in…"
" Kawamoto is in love with Taniuchi. ''
Letting go of the saw, Takuzo widened his eyes before screaming.
'' WHAT ? ''
" I feel like I'm reliving our adventure at Punk Hazard a bit." Brook remarked, with a brick in his hand.
Putting him down next to the others, he finally stepped back to look at the brick kiln he was building, like the one he had built for the feast with G-5.
"It's almost over, Sanji. " He asserted, while trying to lift the helmet a little that was hard on his head.
'' Great ! " The cook assured, as he gathered the rest of the food, so he could ration it.
Looking at Brook's head, with his helmet on his head, he asserted.
" With that on your head, you really look like a normal human. ''
"Hey, that's an insult. ''
Hearing them start to bicker, Yuuki suddenly noticed.
"By the way, Sanji-san, what do we do with food that's already expired? ''
" We keep them, of course. " He assured. " I can still cook them to make them edible and safe for our body! We're not going to throw anything away as long as it's not toxic! Since I was very young, I have always respected this principle. ''
" Really ? Let me guess! It was your father that he instilled that in you, right? "
Suddenly freezing, Sanji suddenly bit the end of his cigarette, to the point of cutting it in half. Suddenly seeing his angry face, Brook questioned him.
" Are you OK ? "
" I don't want, in any case, that we talk about this person who is supposed to be my father. " The cook taught them, articulating his every word.
" Huh ... but ... why? " Yuuki asked him.
" It's not your business. " Sanji growled, suddenly getting up, before pretending to leave.
" But ... wait. " Wanted to stop the schoolgirl.
Feeling her touch his arm, Sanji made him move violently which made the young girl fall back.
" DON'T TOUCH ME! "
He finally widened his eyes, seeing Yuuki's shocked gaze.
" San… Sanji-san? "
'' Hey, Sanji, what's the matter with you? " Wanted to know the skeleton.
Clenching his fist, the cook only groaned, before running away.
Running to the other end of the farm, the cook ends up stopping before sitting down against a wall. Once done, he put his hands on his head, as voices came to haunt his mind.
"You are rubbish, Sanji! ''
"You have no right to be part of our family! ''
"If you want to go, don't tell anyone your name! Otherwise, it will only make me look ridiculous. ''
Clenching his jaws the cook finally asserted.
" These ... assholes!"
Lifting his head to the sky, he finally whispered.
" Even in another world, they manage to piss me off. "
Getting ready to light a new cigarette, he suddenly heard noises resembling banging.
" Hum? " He wondered, getting up.
Searching for the source of this noise, he eventually saw Kawamoto hitting a tree trunk with his legs. Hitting him without stopping, she constantly returned to position, as she winced with each impact. Seeing her do it, for a few moments, he ends up coming towards her, before asking her.
" Hey, can I know what you're doing? "
" Sanji? " Kawamoto wondered, noticing his presence.
Seeing her wince, putting her leg on the ground, he began to raise an eyebrow as the high school student asserted.
" It's nothing ! I just make sure to strengthen my body! I don't want to be a weak and useless person anymore. "
Knocking the trunk again, she taught him.
" My body is fragile and only my legs are muscular! Seeing you fight, I thought to myself that maybe I can imitate and become an expert in footwork. "
" Sorry to tell you but, you will just earn the right to have your leg broken, if you continue like this. "
" Hey ? "
" Give back a blow to the tree. " Sanji advised her.
Raising her eyebrows, the schoolgirl ends up getting back into position, before hitting the trunk. Slamming him with her shin, she winced in pain, as the tree's foliage shook.
" Did you see that ? "
" You must not hit your target with your shin. " Sanji retorted.
Taking the young girl's place, he struck the trunk of the tree. Thinking of his father, to motivate himself, he lashed out and managed to form a real crater in the bark of the tree as he struck it with the top of his foot.
Pulling back at seeing him do it, Kawamoto shielded himself from the pieces of bark as the cook informed her.
" The tibia bone is too fragile to withstand the impact of several shocks! To begin with, I recommend that you use and kick with your feet instead! Nevertheless, never with the tip of the foot! You might break your toes the first time. "
" Really ? "
" Yes, and to train you, I also advise you to do squats as well as make a maximum of jumps! By doing this, you will strengthen your legs. "
Seeing her meditating on his words, Sanji started to walk away, when the redhead cried out.
" I hate adults. "
" Huh? " Sanji said, turning to her.
" Nevertheless, you are really cool. " Kawamoto asserted, displaying a genuine smile.
Seeing her do it, Sanji immediately blushed before saying.
" This compliment goes straight to my body, Momo-chan! "
Suddenly grinding his teeth, a person clenched his fist at hearing Sanji's words. Looking darkly in Kawamoto's direction, Yuuki couldn't help but hiss like a snake, when she saw Sanji who seemed to be hitting on her.
"What does she have more than me?" "
Sitting on the roof of the barn, Law was scanning the horizon, glancing here and there at the people who were now staying here.
" They are noisy. " He cursed.
" I ... can I talk to you? "
Turning his head, Law suddenly saw Taniuchi using the ladder to reach him.
" Hum? What do you want ? "
Finishing her ascent, the young girl managed to stand on the roof before asking him.
"Would you mind granting me the power of one of your syringes?"
Expecting that kind of request, Law looked at her fragile body before telling her.
" Without wanting to be annoying, you do not seem to me to be able to bear the slightest side effect! I'm not even sure you can…"
"I am weak in normal times! retorted the young girl! Even if it will put my life on the line, acquiring a power can only be good for me! If I find myself alone, it will increase my chances of surviving, in the midst of a horde of zombies in a big way, compared to the strength I have now. "
Seeing the man not addressing him any glance, the young girl ends up kneeling in front of him before asking him.
" Please let me help you! I've had enough! I'm tired of being useless. "
" Let's say you have your famous power! What do you want to do with it? "
" Protect and assist the Straw Hat crew. " She asserted, with a confident voice.
Smiling, Law asserted.
"Even with the power of a god, you will never be able to reach Luffy's ankle."
Nevertheless, he ended up rotating his hand.
" ROOM ! "
Immediately, his suitcase landed at his feet and he opened it.
" Do you have any idea of the power you want to have? "
Realizing that he was going to honor her request, the young girl cried out.
" Yes ! I want the power of Erza Scarlet. "
" Who is her ? "
" It's a mage from a manga called '' Fairy Tail ''! She has a power allowing her to create a multitude of swords around her and change her clothes into various armors. "
" Huh ..., sorry, I don't have this in stock. "
Thinking for a few moments, he finally grabbed one of the syringes before asserting.
" That's the closest. "
" What's this ? "
Listening to him for a few moments, Taniuchi listened to the properties of the power contained in the syringe. Nodding her head a few times to show that she understood, she finally noticed.
" Yes, it's quite different. "
Nonetheless, she declared.
" But it's interesting! I want to try. "
But before handing him the syringe, Law said.
" Before you do anything, I advise you first to think a little more! Needless to say, the absorption of devil fruit is irreversible! In addition, it is impossible, except for a single case, to obtain the powers of a second fruit! Many regret eating devil fruit, so really think about it. "
Finally giving the syringe to Taniuchi, he made his suitcase disappear, while the high school student looked at the object in her hands. Finally nodding, she nodded.
" Okay, I'll think about it a bit more before I do anything. "
Stuffing the object in her pocket, she finally left the man and left the roof. Hearing her leave, Law suddenly began to whisper.
" Fairy Tail? What is that ? "
Cooking the meal in several pots, Sanji was preparing a serving for each of the residents on the farm. Beginning with the distribution of the plates, he handed the first of them to their host.
'' Here, Nick-san! Eat! " Sanji allowed him, handing the plate to Nick.
Looking at his meal, the farmer finally takes a bite. As Sanji began to distribute the meal to the others, the old man suddenly began to cry, feeling the different knowledge invading his mouth. Walking past him, Rei suddenly saw him sobbing.
" Are you OK ? "
" Yeah ! " He assured. " It's just that I forgot what good food is! I lived with my wife for over thirty years, before she died of cancer two years ago! Tasting this kind of meal makes me nostalgic! I have the impression of finding a part of a happiness that I had missed! Sorry about that. "
Smiling tenderly, hearing this, Rei asserted.
" Sanji's cuisine has this kind of power! No need to apologize. "
Getting ready to join Rei, Takashi suddenly heard behind his back.
" Stop drooling, it's disgusting. "
'' But I'm hungry, Saya. " Kohta affirme. "! I kept doing push-ups and the like all afternoon. "
" Do not complain ! Tomorrow it will be even harder. " Retorted Saya. " Now that we are in danger, you must lose weight! Slimming your figure can only be beneficial to you! Plus, it ... will make you more attractive. "
Even though she had mumbled the last part of her sentence, mist appeared on Kohta's glasses, as smoke rose from is ears.
'' Is that ... are ... are you saying that I have a chance, with you? "
" Of course not, you fool. " Cried, Saya, pretending to hit him.
Then looking away, she finally mumbles.
" It's just that you deserve to find true love. "
" Saya, I love you. "
" SHUT UP "
Smiling, seeing them do it, Takashi noticed that the two friends had come closer. However, for his part ...
" Hold Rei! " Hisashi exclaimed, handing her a plate and a fork.
" Thank you, Hisashi! We eat together ? "
" Sure ! "
… Rei was still as clean of Hisashi as before.
Barely turning his gaze to the group, Tsunoda had taken a seat at the top of a tree and made sure that his eyes were watched. Night was falling more and more and the boy preferred to stay on his guard. To his amazement, even Law and Bellamy had joined the others, so they could enjoy a good meal.
" I have the impression that there is nobody serious here! "
Suddenly perceiving a figure heading in the direction of the forest which was not far from the fence surrounding the farm, the boy finally recognized Taniuchi, as the latter left with a sword, which she had taken from the collection. of Law's weapons.
"Taniuchi? Where is she going ? " The boy wanted to know, leaving his place.
Stopping at the edge of the forest, Taniuchi stared at one of the forest's trees before grabbing her sword while rummaging through her pockets. Then looking at her weapon and the syringe Law had given her, the girl began to whisper.
" If I want to make a choice, it's now! Either I decide to fight with the weapons of my world! Either I decide to go all out and fight with a power from another world. ''
Lost in her mind, she finally jumped, hearing a branch crack.
'' Hmm? Who is here ? ''
Hearing no more the slightest noise, the young girl slowly sank into the forest to find out what it was. If it was a zombie, she had to know it at all costs to be able to warn the others.
'' Is there anyone ? ''
Still no noise, let alone the slightest grunt. Remaining still for a few moments, she finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was there.
'' Surely a small animal. ''
However, the instant she was about to turn around, she felt two hands circling her neck, before starting to strangle her.
" But that … ? "
Panicking, she dropped her sword at her feet while trying to let go of her opponent.
'' Le… Let go of me! Let me ... ''
No longer feeling a single molecule of air enter her lungs, she slowly stopped wriggling as her heart rate slowed. Holding her for a few more seconds, her attacker concentrated on trying to feel her pulse under his fingers. Looking for him, he was surprised to hear, behind his back.
'' Bastard ! ''
Turning around, he felt a large branch smash against his head. Face rising in rage, Tsunoda suddenly dropped his weapon before hitting him, then, with his fist. Spraying his nose, he knocked him back, unconscious.
'' Motherfucker ! " Cried the boy.
Then crouching down towards Taniuchi, he ends up shaking her before calling her.
" Taniuchi! How are you ? Taniuchi? "
He made no gesture from the young girl. Taking fright, the boy put his hand on the site of her heart. His own heart suddenly made a false beat, noting that he felt no beat in the young girl.
" Damn it ! Taniuchi, wake up! " He ordered her, shaking her.
Noting that it was useless, he tried to calm down, before putting his hands on the site of her heart and starting to squeeze them.
" Come on, breathe, breathe! "
Always nothing.
" Damn, but breathe you idiot. " He ordered her, continuing his gesture.
Pressing harder and harder, he tried in vain to bring the young girl back to life. Nevertheless it was in vain.
" Come on, you're not going to die now! I forbid you to die! Think Kawamoto and the rest of them, shit! Open your eyes! "
Continuing on and on, he was about to give up, when suddenly he saw a finger of the girl retract.
" What ? "
Suddenly straightening up, the schoolgirl's body faced him. Then, finally, she finally opened her eyes.
Widening his own, Tsunoda freaked out.
" Ta… niuchi? "
