Chapter 26 - Conflict

Takagi Residence

Saya's once quiet home has turned into a bustling estate filled with different people.

The situation was quite normal for a zombie apocalypse.

People scurry about the camp. Without a goal. No prospects. Sadness, sorrow, fear and despair were visible on everyone's faces. Some are even insane.

They all lost their homes. Someone who was not lucky and loved ones. They didn't have a job. There was nothing that could distract them from heavy thoughts.

It was recently revealed that zombies are evolving. They become stronger, faster, smarter. Some were dashed by this news. More and more pressure fell on the residents of the estate.

Some individuals could not stand it went crazy and went to crimes. Rape, murder. There was even cannibalism, which is very strange, since there was plenty of food now.

Everyone went crazy in their own way.

Someone believed that zombies should not be killed, because they are just sick people.

Someone believed that the walkers are demons sent by the Lord as punishment for the sins of mankind.

In general, some arranged fights demanding to prohibit the killing of undead, while others broke their foreheads begging for a place in paradise.

It would seem that only three days have passed, but what changes.

However, the usual day was diluted by the newcomers who arrived at the estate. A group of schoolchildren.

Upon arrival, Yuriko set up a campaign in the rooms.

Only one day has passed. One quiet day, when problems began with them ...

First, Saya's father, Takagi Soichiro, arrived and staged a show of execution of the zombies. To confront people in a brutal reality camp seemed like a good idea.

Only they did not appreciate such a demonstration. Whispers circulated here and there that Soichiro was a killer and a madman. The camp was seething.

And while Saya, Shiro, and Saeko were having a private conversation with Soichiro and Yuriko, their teammates were being pressured.

Hirano, Takashi and Rei were sitting in the garage. Kohta, by hook or by crook, made them engage in the maintenance of weapons.

However, they did not immediately notice how the crowd, which looked like Soichiro's people, surrounded them.

- Wow, kids are not toys for you, hand over your weapons here. - said one of them when he approached them.

- Wait! It's some kind of mistake! This is our weapon! - Kohta panicked and grabbed the bag with trunks as if they were trying to take his life.

- This is really some kind of mistake. This weapon is ours. Takashi said quietly, looking at the crowd.

- Yes! We got it ourselves! - stood up Rei

- What are you talking about? Guns are not toys for children! Give them here. -

- And it's true. How can this weapon be yours? The milk has not yet dried on my lips. Let's hurry him here. Adults themselves will figure out what's what. -

- Indeed! You are in our camp! We have our own laws! And children certainly do not need weapons! -

"I don't even know ..." Takashi hesitated.

- Well ... I ... - Rei hesitantly shifted from foot to foot.

- Do not be impudent kids! -

- Drive the trunks fast! -

A group of adult men put a lot of pressure on three teenagers.

- Okay. Takashi said with a sigh.

- I ... What to do? Miyamoto stood in confusion with her rifle.

- Never! This weapon was lent to us! It's ours! Hirano yelled almost hysterically.

- Don't be selfish kid. There are a lot of people here, and you take so many weapons for yourself. This is wrong ... -

- Only over my dead body! - rested Kohta. Tears were about to form in his eyes.

- Go, take the trunks from him ... -

- Once we are busy with capricious kids. - said the man and reached out to Kota.

But he didn't even have time to touch him. Behind him, as if teleporting, was a young guy who towered over all adults by several heads. He wore a huge nodachi on his belt.

With his long hand, he grabbed the one who wanted to touch the weapon and lifted him by the scruff of his neck like a naughty cat.

- I just walked away for a while, and the jackals were right there. A crowd of spineless mattresses rushed to rob three schoolchildren. They decided to steal my weapon ... Our weapon ... - ridiculed them Shiro, looking straight in the eyes.

Everyone was amazed at the unfolding events. First, this bruiser crept up to them, then it turns out that he can lift a hundred-kilogram man with one hand, without batting an eye ... And they stole his weapon.

- Let go of Junichi! -

- Do not run into a jerk! -

- Everything is in common in the camp! And the guns too! You jerks can't trust them! -

Such barking cannot influence Shiro in any way.

- Really? When did this weapon of ours become common? No one told us this, and since no one spoke about it, then you are criminals who are trying to rob us at such a difficult time. So I have the right to cut off your heads ... - he said, taking out his huge nodachi with his free hand.

The whole crowd was notably frightened when a huge weapon came out into the light under the words of this thug.

Hirano, Takashi, and Rei shouted as well.

The tremendous pressure even caused one of the men to pass out.

- What are you doing !? -

- Put the weapon back! -

- Help! -

Yuriko came to the screams - What's going on here, Shiro-kun? She said, in a kind voice.

"Well, I didn't know that Soichiro-san turned into the Yakuza. They are already being robbed in your camp. Just robbing me, you need to understand that this has its own price. Shiro said harshly into the crowd's eyes without turning to Yuriko.

- He's lying to Lady Yuriko!

- Yes! Don't trust him! He's crazy!

- What he said is true? The elder Takagi asked.

- Well ... Uh -

- I'm asking you! He told the truth! She asked harshly and sternly this time, going from "cute mom" to "monster with boobs."

- But madam! They have so many weapons ... - they exclaimed, but under the gaze of this "vixen" they spoke more and more quietly ... Until they stopped talking at all.

"Oh, please forgive those fools, Shiro. They are not as bad as they seem. It just looks like they haven't had explanatory conversations with them for a long time. - Yuriko said again in the style of "good mommy". But her eyes were boring a crowd of men.

- Oh, good. Only out of respect for you, Yuriko-san. - said Shiro again in a calm, kind, and in general, serene voice, putting the sword back into its sheath, also letting go of the man, whose pants were noticeably heavy.

"Hirano, you're done. But next time, just shoot to kill those who want to take something away from us. -

- Yes sir! - the guy shouted joyfully ... that he can shoot people to kill ...

- As for you. Shiro looked at Rei and Takashi. "I don't know what to tell you ... By handing over the weapons we found, you were passing your fate into the hands of others." I don't know, maybe you like it when everything is decided for you. - he said a little sadly with melancholy and left.

And if Takashi didn't know what to think, then Rei was annoyed by her weakness and spinelessness.

At that moment, one event was spinning in her head. She was taken prisoner, publicly harassed and pawed. They were going to rape, and God knows what else. Takashi and the others could only watch until Shiro arrived. Now again ... They were robbed. Takashi gave the weapon, she hesitated, and Hirano, in hysterics, categorically refused to give the guns ... And again Shiro came ...

All this pissed off Rei. Especially the fact that the notorious chubby has the courage to resist, but she does not.

Such thoughts literally gnawed at Rei's mind.

On this unpleasant event, the surprises ended and the rest of the day passed calmly. Shiro, on the other hand, was in for a restless night as he and Saeko were finally given the opportunity to be alone.
