Chapter 116: I have no regrets!
Chapter 116: I have no regrets!
"Wh-what's happening?!"
Whether it was Shizuka, Yuriko, or Saya, they were dumbfounded when they saw the billowing black smoke in the direction of the estate. Nevertheless, even though they didn't know, they knew that something bad was happening.
Then, as expected, when they got close, they saw a stranded bus in the wrecked state along with many familiar corpses.
Isao had a sense that trouble was brewing, but he never anticipated it to strike while he was away, catching him completely off guard.
'If I know...'
No, it was like he forgot about it, which made him helpless.
Still, this also made him realize how weak he was since, while he had become more powerful, he could do nothing against something invisible, such as fate, accident, or simply bad luck.
Nevertheless, Isao knew that there was still room for maneuvers and that he should still be able to save everyone, especially his women, so he crashed the bus and the walls directly with his truck RV.
BOOOOOOOMMMM!
Everything was wrecked by a simple force that came from this RV, which was protected by his shockwave manipulation ability.
Watching how powerful this truck was, Yuriko, Saya, and Shizuka were glad that Isao chose this RV instead of the one with a jacuzzi or a small SUV.
The roar of the truck was like the roar of Hades, killing everything along the way before they quickly arrived at the estate that had almost turned into a ruin. However, fortunately, many were still fighting, and the hope hadn't died yet.
Naturally, Isao drove the truck skillfully, killing those "things," stomped them, and sent them to Isekai.
Jokes aside, those "things" didn't stand a chance against his truck.
"T-Truck?!"
"I-is that Iinuma-kun?"
"We are saved!"
Many knew that Isao had gone out to take an RV, but they didn't expect that he would bring back an off-road truck usually used for the military. Yet it didn't matter since he had returned and saved everyone.
Still, the truck was quite massive, and its maneuverability was quite limited inside the estate, even if the yard was quite large, especially given the number of people in the surroundings, so Isao went out to save everyone.
"Marikawa-sensei, just stay inside."
"Um!" Shizuka was obedient and decided to stay inside the truck.
"As for you two, help me a little."
"Okay." 2x
Yuriko and Saya were worried about Souichiro, but as they caught a glimpse of him bravely fighting with his katana in front of everyone, they knew that he was okay.
Still, when Isao went out, it was a bloodbath. Those "things" didn't stand a chance against him.
As his right hand held a baton, his left hand held a gun, shooting those "things" that were about to devour the survivors.
Souichiro, who fought with everyone, and those survivors who saw Isao were all amazed since his figure was like a "God of War."
If Hachiman, the most famous God of War in this country, descended from heaven, then Isao would be that figure.
"Those "things" only target those who make noise! Don't make a single noise! I will attract them so they will get out!"
As his voice was loud, Isao told everyone to keep quiet, especially those who wanted to shout to show their fighting spirit.
The moment his voice fell, those who wanted to shout shut their mouths at the same time, and as expected, like what Isao told them, those "things" didn't target them anymore.
As long as they shut their mouths, they were okay, and frankly, they should have known this fact, but why did they forget it?
While they were at a loss, Isao took the bottled gas that he had received from Yuriko and said, "Be prepared! I am going to attract all of those things!"
Isao threw the bottled gas into the distance and shot it.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!
As the roar of the explosion echoed, everyone was in a daze due to the loud noise. Even though they had prepared, they were all unable to hide their shock from this explosion. The heatwave and the noise, even though Isao had thrown it quite far from them, still shocked them.
However, their eyes became even more fanatical toward this young man who dared to do such a dangerous thing to save all of them.
"Isao..."
Nevertheless, Rei, Saeko, Kyoko, Kiriko, Naomi, Miku, and many other women cried when they saw him return and save everyone.
As Isao had come, they knew that everything would be okay.
This was what was on the thought of everyone who saw him, and some men were even eager to fight, especially the protagonist.
Isao wasn't sure what Takashi planned to do as he was busy drawing out all of those "things" from the estate, and Yuriko also helped him by driving the truck toward the gate, using it as a substitute for the gate, blocking those "things" from entering.
Yet, during that critical moment, Takashi was ready to fight, clearing up those "things" that still remained inside.
"HAAAAAA!!!"
Takashi shouted with all of his might, showing his fighting spirit, forgetting how he would be surrounded by those "things" as long as he cried.
"This idiot!"
Saya, who saw Takashi shout, wanted to curse this stupid boy.
However, it was too late. Takashi was surrounded, but someone moved fast and protected him.
When Takashi was about to be bitten and thought he would be over, Souochiro stood before him and pushed him away.
"Eh?"
"Don't do something so reckless next time," Souichiro said with a cold sweat, watching one of those "things" bite his arm. Watching his bloody bitten arm, he simply ignored everything and smashed all of those "things" nearby with his fists. "HAAAAA!"
Yet, when Takashi sat on the ground in a daze, Saya and Yuriko screamed in horror.
"Dear!"
"Papa!"
Isao, who stood at the wall like a cat, watched this scene speechlessly, but using his physical ability and spirit, Souichiro was able to defeat all of those "things," showing his duty and example as a leader until the last moment.
Those who had followed him even cried when they saw how Souichiro fought until the last moment.
Still, Souichiro knew that his end was near, especially when he was bitten, so after he took down all of them, he fell to the ground as he saw his wife and daughter run in his direction.
"Yuriko... Saya... I am glad that you two are okay..."
Souichiro looked at his wife and daughter with a peaceful smile.
"Papa! Papa!" Saya cried as she looked at her father, who was about to become those "things."
"Dear..." Yuriko was at a loss, and her tears couldn't be stopped.
Still, even if they knew that Souichiro was about to become those "things," they didn't know what to do. Even if they were smart and could do anything, they didn't know what to do.
"Souichiro-san!"
Isao also came to Souichiro's side after he drew out all of those "things," ignoring how Souichiro might become those "things" holding his body. Still, at this moment, he had already planned to save Souichiro, using his ability to save him so Souichiro wouldn't become one of those "things."
Yes, he had planned to make Souichiro into a messiah, the leader of everyone, who was immune from the bite of those "things."
After all, wasn't it a common plot where one person who was bitten suddenly gained immunity from the virus and became the source of an antidote to save everyone?
Isao planned to make Souichiro into such a being.
Even if Souichiro was bitten, Isao had a solution to save him.
"You don't have to hold me like this. I will become one of those "things," you know?" Souichiro looked at Isao helplessly, but he was glad that Isao was there and Isao was the one who held him even though he was about to become those "things." "But I am glad that you are here. Please take care of my wife and daughter in my place."
"....."
What the fuck were you saying?!
Isao was at a loss since he didn't expect that Souichiro would say something like that so suddenly.
"I have no regrets!"
As Souichiro shouted those words, Isao was speechless and ready to make him into a messiah, but—
Bang!
"...."
The sound of a gunshot caused his ears to make his hearing ring.
Isao lost his voice as a warm liquid splatted on his face and watched Souichiro's head being shot. He was ready to help him, and everything should go in his direction, leaving everything to him and starting his trip around the country.
However—
The only thing was that Isao didn't expect Yuriko, Souichiro's wife, to shoot her husband.
"....."
