Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 117: If you are not here…

Chapter 117: If you are not here...

"Marikawa-sensei, close Saya-senpai's eyes!"

After a moment of loss, Isao shouted, startling Shizuka. However, she quickly reacted and hugged Saya tightly, closing her eyes so Saya wouldn't see this horrible scene.

Still, his hands trembled, and he felt the warmth slowly disappearing on Souchiro's body.

Isao understood that Yuriko did this because she wanted to prevent her husband from becoming those "things" when Souchiro was bitten.

Instead of dying as those "things," Souchiro died as a human.

This also allowed Souchiro to preserve his last dignity.

Yet, even so, Isao didn't expect that Yuriko would be so decisive and shoot her husband. He closed his eyes for a moment and didn't expect this situation. This made him feel at a loss, as it was for the first time his plan crumbled, and something didn't go his way.

On the other hand, even if Yuriko knew that she had to do this, as everything had happened, her hands trembled, but her expression was still strong.

However, everyone who saw this couldn't say anything and just fell into silence, lowering their heads and not daring to meet their gaze at Yuriko, only looking at Isao with empathy as his face was splashed by Souchiro's blood.

As Isao let out a helpless sigh, he closed Souchiro's eyes and put him down, taking out his jacket to cover his head so no one would see this cruel scene.

"Isao-kun, use this."

Saeko somehow came to his side and gave him a towel to wipe his face.

"Thanks, Senpai."

Isao wiped his face, then looked at Yuriko. "Yuriko-san, I will take care of the rest. You should go to rest."

"Ah, um..." Yuriko took a deep breath, then said, "Thank you, Isao-kun."

"Kiriko-san, please help Yuriko-san."

"Ah, yes." Kiriko, who also came with her daughter, also quickly helped Yuriko, but Yuriko refused Kiriko's help. "I am fine. There are many things that you can do for everyone. I will go back to my room for a while."

While Kiriko was at a loss, Isao knew that they had to move on, so he quickly instructed everyone what to do, from building another wall to setting up an emergency tent and preparing a fire and food.

While the generator was fine and it could allow everyone to use electricity, the electrical equipment was busted, so whether it was the light or other convenient things couldn't be used.

So, a fire was necessary to warm up everyone and, lastly, food.

The situation was like this, but even so, everyone needed to eat or else they wouldn't have stamina, and he ordered the women to make instant noodles for everyone after the men worked out to move out the corpse of those "things" out and also set up a wall to make this estate into a safe zone once again.

Frankly, due to his young age, many might not listen to him, but everyone had seen how he had saved everyone, and his instruction was precise and confident, so no one doubted him.

Moreover, during this situation where they had just lost their leader, everyone needed a new leader.

While Isao didn't want to become their leader, no one was suitable to become one, and while Souchiro had many reliable men who could fight courageously, they couldn't make the right decision, so he had to take this matter into his own hands.

As the wife of the leader, Yuriko should be able to take this role, but could she do it, especially after she shot her husband?

Nevertheless, under his instruction, everything was ready.

"Say... Isao-kun, what is going to happen to us after this?"

While Isao didn't do anything and just ate, everyone subconsciously surrounded him since he was the only one who could erase their doubt. He was like a lighthouse during the darkest sea, guiding them to answer their doubts.

"Hey, can you ask that question later? He is tired!" Rei looked at the one who asked that question with a frown.

"It's fine, Rei-senpai." Isao rubbed his temple and said calmly, "We will move."

"Where?"

"If there is no problem, then we're going to the dam at the north of Tokonosu City."

"Dam?"

"If there is a place that can give us electricity and water at the same time, then it is only that place. Hopefully, the EMP won't affect that place, or our destination will be different."

"Wa-Wait? EMP?"

"Oh, right, you don't know, huh?" Isao then explained why all the electrical equipment was busted was all due to the EMP.

"Then, the phone, computer, and others...?"

"It's as good as useless, but it doesn't mean that I can't fix it. However, if possible, I want to get someone who is good with electricity, though. Are there such people among us?"

"........" Everyone.

Most of the men were either politicians or salarymen, but fortunately, there were some who were good at electricity and understood machinery.

Still, as Isao said, his food was already cold, which made him helpless, but he ate it clean. However, he couldn't rest since he had something to do first.

"Have you sent food to Saya-senpai and Yuriko-san?"

"Um." Rei nodded. "Miku-senpai should have sent food to Takagi-san."

"As for Yuriko-san, I have sent food to her before telling me to go back," Kiriko also said since she was the one who sent food to Yuriko.

"Then, I will talk to them first."

"Are you not going to rest?" Rei asked worriedly, knowing that Isao had worked the hardest.

"I will do it later." Isao patted Saeko and Rei on the back and said, "Stay in my room and wait for me."

"..." 2x

Rei and Saeko were speechless, wondering whether this guy wished to do a threesome, but when they were about to complain, he had already left, which made them even more helpless.

Still...

Rei and Saeko looked at each other and fell into silence.

Should they do it?

Isao wasn't sure what kind of reward he would receive when he returned to his room, but before that, he had to comfort the mother and daughter, who were in need of his attention the most.
