4 Sadness

Bitten by zombies will turn into a zombie?

Miyamoto Rei denied, "No! This can't be true, you are lying!" She tried to deceive herself

We all know the truth, it's no use lying to yourself.

As if to prove that Sato isn't lying, a coughing sound emerged.

"*cough*," Igou Hisashi coughed hysterically and spit a mouthful of blood.

"Hisashi! What's wrong?!" said Rei as she moved closer to Igou Hisashi.

Ye Sato rolled his eyes in his thoughts.

What's wrong?

Didn't I already say?

He is infected. He's going to turn into a zombie! Please accept the truth and face reality!

Of course, he won't say his inner thoughts, he still wants to join them.

"I know this will make you sad, but he is infected and will soon turn into a zombie," Sato replied instead of Igou Hisashi.

Igou Hisashi also felt his condition was getting worse.

He looked toward the sky with fear, grief, and despair—feeling completely exhausted. It becomes harder and harder to breathe.

Miyamoto Rei slowly said, "But… Why… That bite was tiny… Why has your condition gotten so bad?" She couldn't accept Hisashi turning into a zombie.

"It's just like in the movies," Igou Hisashi said with heavy breath, "There's no stopping it after you get bitten."

Yes, there's no stopping it.

So why don't you go on your way?

We won't remember you.

She tried to refute his explanation, "No way! Stuff like that happens in movi—" But before she could finish, her words were interrupted.

"Everything around us is playing out like a movie." Igou Hisashi pointed out to her helplessly.

Silence.

None of the people here knows what to say in this situation. No comfort would be able to change the circumstance.

Ye Sato considered whether he should tell them that once Igou Hisashi is killed, he can touch the corpse, and then Igou Hisashi will be one with him. But he soon rejected.

The first reason is that the system is his secret. A secret that should be buried with him. If he dies then this system should also follow him.

The second and last reason, also the most important reason—it sounds too gay. That's enough for him to refrain from explaining anything.

The only thing they can do now is to wait and confront the moment Igou Hisashi turns into a zombie. But Hisashi naturally doesn't want to turn into a mindless zombie, he would rather die.

Ignou Hisashi's body was too weak and exhausted, so he can only request his best friend for help, "Takashi. Help me."

"Help you with what?" Komuro Takashi asked.

Igou Hisashi pointed at the edge of the fence as he answered, "If I fall off from there, the fall will probably crush my head..."

That's a lie. What Hisashi really wants is to die in the arms of the one he loves.

I repeat myself. The one Igou Hisashi love is Komuro Takashi.

Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei were stunned at Igou Hisashi's words. Miyamoto Rei could of course not just stand and watch her boyfriend die.

"What're you—" she exclaimed.

"I don't want to be one of them!" He roared and to make his intention more obvious, he vomited blood, "*vomit*"

Damn, that's a lot of blood, Sato thought inwardly.

"Hisashi! Hisashi! No!" She wailed as she held onto Hisashi who was vomiting blood.

Staring at the two shoutings, he almost couldn't hold back slapping their head.

Didn't I tell you that zombies are attracted to sound?

So why are you making so much noise?

If you are seeking death, don't take me with you!

"Come on… Takashi, I am begging you… I want to die as myself." He pleaded and started to vomits more blood, "*vomit* *vomit*"

"Hisashi! Why?! No! Don't die!" She wailed as she held tighter onto Hisashi who was in agony.

And what did Takashi do during all this time?

He was standing there watching Hisashi in agony, with a face full of grief. But who knows if he really feels mournful for his friend.

What if the reason Takashi didn't assist Hisashi, to jump down the building, is because he wanted to watch and enjoy Hisashi in pain and suffering?

What if the reason Takashi didn't help Hisashi, jump down the building, is because he had a grudge against Hisashi and wanted him to turn into a zombie, so he has a reason to kill him?

All of them looked at Hisashi who was struggling and screaming in anguish.

Igou Hisashi's movement was getting slower and slower until he was completely motionless.

Ye Sato knew that he would soon turn into a zombie, so he walked to Rei. He bends down and wraps his arm around her abdomen, then pulls her away from Hisashi's corpse and walks toward a spot nearby Komuro.

"Release me!" She cried as she struggled to get out of Sato's grasp.

If it was her in good condition, then breaking away from his grasp, could be easily done. After all, if we compare strength, then she will definitely win.

Ye Sato's strength is average and Rei is a member of the sojutsu club, so the outcome is crystal clear.

With everything happening around her, Rei was both physically and mentally exhausted. And we can see how exhausted she is, as he only needed one hand to hold her.

No matter what she did, she still couldn't escape and the more she tried to escape, the more was her strength wasted.

"Calm down," Ye Sato comforted her, "I know this must be a hard time for you, and I know you are suffering, but that's not a reason for you to hurt yourself."

During this whole time, he didn't release her but held her tighter.

There's of course a reason.

If he holds her, then the one who is responsible for killing the zombified Hisashi is obviously Takashi.

Not only will Takashi be condemned and detested by Rei, but he will also take the label of friend killer.

While all this happens, Sato will appear as Rei's savior.

Not only will she have goodwill towards him, but she will also depend more on him. And he will have a justified reason to hold her and take advantage of her.

One stone hit two birds. What a perfect shot.

What if Takashi doesn't take action?

He pulled Miyamoto Rei to a spot near Komuro Takashi for a reason.

If Takashi doesn't take action when the zombie is approaching Rei, then her resentment towards him will increase.

There have been two cases where she was attacked by a zombie in anime. And in both those cases, Takashi was just standing by, watching. The one who came to save her those times is Igou Hisashi.

So here comes a question, why will the zombified Hisashi target her?

The answer is simple. she will attract the zombified Hisashi when she calls out to him.

If the zombie doesn't target her then who?

Is it Komuro Takashi, who is pondering what he should do, or Ye Sato, who will definitely stay silent?

Obviously, the target is Miyamoto Rei!

The atmosphere turned silent, with only the sound of Rei crying in Ye Sato's embrace.

As time went on, the cloud swept over and the sun shined.

It was a sign, showing that Igou Hisashi will wake up. Wake up as a zombie.

When the time comes for Takashi to make his choice, what will he choose?

Well, it really doesn't matter what decision he makes. His ending is still going to be a bad guy.

Takashi slowly walked towards Hisashi's twitching body.

It looks like his choice is the same as in anime.

Catching the sight of Takashi with his bat, slowly walking towards Hisashi, Rei can't stay silent, "No! You can't kill him! He isn't going to…"

That really doesn't sound convincing. And it looks like Takashi also agreed with his thought as he kept on walking.

Feeling her words are not convincing enough, Rei found another reason, "He isn't going to turn into one of them! He's special!"

Your head is special!

Looking at Rei who was struggling in his embrace, as she tried to convince Takashi with her dumb excuse, Sato couldn't help feeling hopeless.

Yes, his thought is really heartless.

A person has just lost their loved one and here he is, badmouthing them.

He won't deny it, he knows very well what kind of bad guy he is.

As a villain, did you expect him to be Mr.Nice guy?

The zombified Hisashi struggled to get up. Looking at the moving Hisashi, Rei hopes she is right.

She hopes that Igou Hisashi is really special and won't turn into a zombie.
