Break up

Early morning.

The sun shined in the bus with his group members, one by one, slowly waking up, with only Komuro Takashi still asleep.

"Awake?" Looking at the awakened member, he greeted, "Good morning."

"Good morning," The woken up member greeted back.

He brought out a bag with milk bottles and sandwiches and said, "Come and get breakfast."

Every awakened member went and took a bottle of milk and a pack of sandwiches.

"Take more if it's not enough. Don't need to save. The milk and sandwich will spoil much faster than other food," Sato said as he picked his own breakfast.

As they ate their breakfast silently, Takashi and the Shido's group were still soundly asleep.

Yesterday, they hadn't eaten enough to fill their belly, so they tossed back and forth in hunger before they finally could fall asleep. Because of fatigue and hunger, Takashi and Shido's group are still sleeping.

When everyone finished their breakfast, he said, "Wake Komuro up, I have something to talk about."

The one who currently has the best friendship with Takashi is Saya, so she went and woke him up.

"What's the matter?" Being woken up from his sweet dream, Takashi was very confused.

"Come and gather, that Ye guy has something to talk about," she answered, then turned back to the group.

Takashi walked a little unstable to where the group gathered.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Sato suggested, "I think we should abandon this bus and cross the bridge on foot. Or we should just find another way to cross the bridge."

Everyone was surprised.

Right now, they have a good time. There's a vehicle, food, and security.

So why suddenly give up this situation?

Takashi cleared his mind up then questioned, "Why? Isn't it quite good right now?"

Yes, it's good right now.

But it's just too good!

If there is no fight, then how can he touch corpses?

If he doesn't touch corpses, then how can he get stronger?

He seriously wanted to leave this group. But if he does, then he won't be able to get the girls. They will get disappointed in him for abandoning them.

And if he leaves, then where can he find the main characters to abuse?

The other was also wondering, but no one asked and waited for him to explain.

"Yes, it's good right now. But let me ask you, what's bad about this situation?" He looked at every member.

There was no response since no one really thought about it.

No one answered, so he looked at Saya, the one who keeps boasting about her intelligence.

"What are you looking at?" She was flustered.

Looking at you.

I am looking at you to come up with a reason as a cover.

It takes too much energy to come up with lies.

But you disappointed me.

Takagi Saya, you have changed.

Sato rolled his eyes, "I am looking for you to answer. What other reason do you think I am looking at you for? Do you think I am looking at you because you think you are beautiful?"

What do you mean I think I am beautiful?

I am beautiful!

She was upset, but she didn't say anything since she hadn't really thought about their current situation.

"Humph." She turned her head aside.

Since Takagi Saya didn't know, then he had no choice but to explain.

"Look at the crowd." Sato pointed at the crowd outside, "Let me ask you. If a zombie appears, what's going to happen?"

Everyone imagined.

A zombie broke into the crowd of people, then one after another human turned into a zombie.

A moment later, their bus is surrounded by zombies. And the only thing they can do is silently hide in the bus.

And then they have two choices.

The first choice is to break through the zombie crowd. Their ending could already be imagined.

The second choice is to stay on the bus while attempting to survive with their limited food and wait for rescue.

Now the question is, will there be any rescue?

Cold sweat ran through their backs. They never expected to be in such a dangerous situation. All this time, they have been sleeping beside a timebomb without knowing.

If he didn't bring this up, then they won't even know how they died.

Sato's real intention is for them to give up the bus because he wants to go and kill zombies. If they keep staying on the bus, then there's no way he will be able to kill zombies.

And to be honest, staying on this bus is very safe, as it was so in the anime.

When Shido's group took over this bus, they safely arrived at Takagi estate with no problem.

Maybe it's not safe, at least not 100%. The main reason is that Sato had changed the plot quite a bit, so the event will probably not follow as in the anime.

Probably.

Maybe it will still follow as in anime.

Who knows.

"It's just your guess. What if the things you said, never going to happen? Wouldn't we then put ourselves in danger by going out? Here, we have food, and it's safe inside the bus. And if anything happens, then we can wait for rescue." Takashi tried to find loopholes in his words.

Why Komuro Takashi?

Just why did you have to question me?

It's been 2 chapters since you were last abused, so you are thirsty for some face slaps, right?

You are really a masochist.

Without getting abused in every chapter, you won't feel satisfied, right?

I must apologize, but I won't let your wish come true.

"Let me ask you, do you see the crowds outside? Now tell me, what can you hear?" Sato pointed outside.

Each of the members closed their eyes and focused on hearing the sound outside. They could listen to people walking, talking, shouting, and making noises. There were also motor sounds and horn sounds.

Everyone can already foretell what he is going to say.

"Do you think this much noise will gather all the surrounding zombies here?" His words still astonished them when they already expected what he would say.

The stubborn Takashi insisted, "It doesn't matter what you say. In the end, it's still only what you guessed!"

Komuro Takashi, is it because you didn't get your daily dose of abuse, so your intelligence has gone down the drain?

Why are you being so stupid?

"I would rather assume the zombies will appear than wait for them to really do." He looked at Takashi with eyes looking at a retard.

Well, it's not only him.

The other member also looked at the stubborn Takashi, like he had some problem with his brain.

They have to agree that both Takashi and Sato had their point.

Just like what Takashi said, it's safe on the bus, and there is food. It sounds very promising to stay on this bus. But as much as they wanted to stay on the bus, they also realized the hidden danger.

What if, what Sato said, really happens?

Being stuck in the middle of traffic and surrounded by zombies, how will they survive?

Wait for rescue?

Try and save people stuck in the middle of traffic with hundreds of zombies surrounded.

How many people will be needed?

How many people will sacrifice?

Rather than putting their own life in someone else's hands, they should take hold of their own life.

"I will leave this bus. If anyone wants to follow me, then you can do it. Or if you decide to stay on the bus, it's also fine." Sato looked at the member for an answer.

The one to be the quickest to agree with him wasn't the one with the best brain, but Miyamoto Rei.

"I will follow," said Rei.

With how much she currently likes him, she would be willing to go anywhere with him.

"I will also follow," said Busujima Saeko.

Of course, she will follow him as it's too peaceful on the bus.

As a sadist, how can she live a calm life?

"Are you going somewhere fun? I also want to follow," said Marikawa Shizuka happily.

So silly and cute.

Takagi Saya hesitated if she should follow or if she should stay. She really wants to stay with her childhood friend, but the danger is too great. And another reason making her hesitate is the Shido's group.

With her intelligence, isn't it easy to figure out Shido's personality?

She hesitated for some time before she finally made her decision.

Saya adjusted her glasses and said, "I don't want to admit it, but what you said is probably going to happen sooner or later. It's better to escape from here."

This is what you would expect from a genius. With only a suggestion from Sato and she could already foresee what's going to happen.

And she is right.

In the anime, it really did happen.

"Both of us will follow," Ishida Takuzo pronounced his and Matsuo Naomi's decision.

The two of them saw him protecting them when they rushed out of the school, so they trusted him greater.

One reason is that Sato's attitude towards Takashi has influenced them.

Another reason is that compared to Takashi, who never gave them another glance after their first meeting, Sato always looks cautious around. If they follow Takashi, who knows how they will die.

Hirano Kohta hesitated. In the anime, his confidence and courage increased as he saved Saya from many incidents. And having others acknowledge him slowly made him realize that he was needed.

Having said all that is pretty useless.

With his arrival, all event trajectory has changed.

Hirano Kohta, who should be filled with confidence and courage, is still the same mentally weak, timed, and stupid person. But before he could say his decision, someone else stated their choice.

Takashi boldly said, "I am going to stay. I will prove to you my choice is right!"

He stays not only because he wants to prove that his choice is correct but also because of that Shido guy. He had said that he will take the consequence for that Shido, so he will need to keep an eye on this guy.

What if he follows while this guy does awful things behind them?

Wouldn't all their trust and friendship break?

He can't allow it, so he decided to stay.

This is going as Sato has planned.

"I-I-I think I am going to stay." Influenced by Takashi, Kohta also decided to stay.

The reason Kohta decided to stay was not only because of Takashi but also because he doesn't have a lot of ammunition. He tried to save as much as possible, but it's still about to finish.

Sato only planned for Takashi to stay behind but didn't expect to also kick this fatass out.

This was a pleasant surprise.
