Help

"Help! Please open up"

My only comfort in hearing the scream is that it was not Kurisu's voice, in fact, it was from a man. He shouts while knocking on something, probably a door, although it was nobody I knew, I ran quickly towards the house.

When I reached my destination, using the street lights, on the porch of a house, two silhouettes could be distinguished, one large and one small. The big one was knocking desperately on the door, ignoring that due to his actions he was drawing the attention of the Zombies.

Shit, now I remember. It must be the father of the little girl who accompanied the protagonists of the story and if things follow the original plot then...

Along with my thoughts the door opens and a knife comes out stabbing the man, he is surprised. Something was said, but from my distance there are only murmurs in the wind.

Well, being stabbed in the stomach you will not die immediately, you have a chance to survive ... obviously, if help reaches them before the zombies that the fool called over from being too loud.

"They've stabbed him!"

Watching everything that was happening above my head, on the second floor Hirano's voice is heard. It seems that everyone was watching the show. For now let's save the guy and the girl, I would probably have nightmares if I see a group of zombies devour the little girl. I raise my voice to get everyone's attention on the balcony.

"Kurisu and Hirano, cover the two so that zombies don't bite them, I'm sure with your aim it would not be difficult. No, wait ... Hirano you don't shoot, your weapon has no silencer."

"Alex! You returned"

"Yes, I'm-"

"Watch out, you have a zombie by your side!!"

E-eh? Damn it, I didn't realize it was coming ... where is it? I turn my head in all directions to find the zombie, but can't find him, and then Saeko tells me its location by pointing.

"She must be referring to Scythe, right?"

Oh I see. Although she is no longer a zombie, it cannot be denied that it has some characteristics similar to one. I quickly speak to Kurisu and the others who pointed at Scythe to prevent them from firing.

"Don't shoot, she's ... it's hard to explain now, just don't shoot her since she's not dangerous"

They hesitated a little, but abide by my words. That's good, Scythe had also turn into defensive mode, although it is most likely that they will kill her with the guns, there is also a chance that she would reach them and if she can get in close, none of them could stop her.

"You don't attack them either Scythe, instead, go and kills all the zombies that try to reach those 2 over there"

"K-i-ll"

After uttering, she runs to where the 2 were indicated, those on the balcony are surprised to see her run that way, since no zombie moved at that speed until now, if they did so, certainly humans would have no salvation.

"Kurisu, focus on covering the 2 over there and don't worry about her. Saeko-chan, we'll also follow Scythe, we have to carry the wounded guy and bring the girl"

"Sure"

Saeko and I start running in the direction of the path of blood that Scythe had opened for us, we killed a few zombies who were lucky enough not to meet the claws of my ghoul. With the path mostly cleaned of enemies, we soon reached the porch where the two were.

The girl cried as she lay on the chest of her dad who was lying on the floor, I saw bodies of zombies laying around both, Kurisu was doing her job of covering them. Scythe was on the side of the street killing any living dead approaching, giving us enough peace of mind to proceed.

It is not chivalrous, but with my body it is very uncomfortable to carry an adult, without another option I turn to Saeko and tell her.

"Saeko try to support the man, I will open the way for any zombie that comes close and also take care of the girl"

"Please just save her, that's enough for me ... I won't delay you by making you carry me, but save her I beg you!"

"No, dad, don't leave me alone!"

"Woof!"

The girl's father speaks with tears in his eyes, and the girl sadly says between her tears. On the other hand, where did the dog come from? Thinking about it, I vaguely remember that there was a dog in the anime ... whatever, I made the decision beforehand and will do things as planned.

"Do not cry girl and grab your dog, I will also help your dad, but if you keep crying the monsters will come"

"Will you really save my dad? !!"

"I planned to do that from the beginning, now step aside and let this onee-chan help your dad stand up so we can get out of here."

"Yes!!"

The girl turns to Saeko who smiles at her, and then quickly stands aside while taking the dog into both of her hands and hugging it. Saeko bends down and incorporates the man who still insists that we leave him and that we only take the little girl.

"Stop complaining old man, if you're worried about delaying us, then you better clench your teeth and speed up the pace."

"Dad you can do it, keep walking!!"

After a few minutes we arrived at the door of the house where we were staying, the one that receives us is Shisuka and a few others stand in the back. With the support of more people they move the man easily, but when we went to lay him down in the living room, I spoke.

"Take him up"

"But he's hurt and it's better to treat him here."

"Doesn't matter, take him up"

"Moo, Alex-kun is dumb ... fine, take him up"

After Shisuka is convinced, they change direction to the stairs and begin to take him up among several people. When I see that they follow what I said, I go back outside and put two fingers in my mouth and whistle.

"Scythe, come back"

Immediately after the echo of the whistle is heard, it is followed by my voice, Scythe who is covered in blood comes seconds later, jogging to where I am, but she doesn't seem hurt so it must be from the zombies. Then I enter the house next to her.

"Haaa !! Why is there a zombie inside? !!" 

Once inside, a scandal breaks out amongst the group of people who were previously directed by the weasel with glasses.

"Silence!!"

"Grhaaa !!"

Everyone became silent, more than by my words it was because of Scythe's support followed after me, the fear of drawing her attention led them to close their mouths.

Since everyone is quiet, I head for the stairs and as if it were my faithful dog Scythe follows me without having to say anything. When I arrive upstairs it is good that they do not receive me with shouts like the others, but they still seem puzzled and distrustful of Scythe who is behind me. The one that breaks the tense atmosphere is Shisuka, who either didn't realize there's a ghoul in the room or just doesn't care.

"This is bad Alex-kun, the stab touched the internal organs. He needs to go to a hospital and have a doctor operate on him or he will bleed out and die."

The stabbed man seems to have lost consciousness at some point during the move to the second floor and now was breathing weakly while lying on a bed

"A hospital? I'm sure the doctor's there will eat him instead of treating him ... I doubt that there is still one working"

[One of the rank [I] potions that you have should be enough to block the internal bleeding. Just do the same as before, allow him to drink half of the potion and apply the rest to his wound]

When the girl hears that her father would die, she again becomes a water fountain with speakers included. In the midst of her lament, I listen to Aurora, it seems that the girl's father is lucky and can be saved. I put my hand in my pocket, take out the potion and handed it to Shisuka. At the same time I try to comfort the child.

"Don't worry, your dad will not die, Shisuka, you have to make him drink half of this and the rest empty it over the wound"

"What is this?"

"If I tell you, I would have to ..."

I say with a serious face and stop my words in the middle of the sentence, I look directly at her and caress my Beretta with my fingers. I hear several people swallow and I see their bodies shake with a slight tremor, Shisuka on the other hand ... tilts her head in doubt. Damn, is she immune to stress? With everyone else in suspense I change things up.

"If I tell you, I would have to make love to you"

"E-eh? Moo, Alex-kun you rascal!"

""Huh?"" -everyone

"Alex!!" -Kurisu 

"Fufufu ..." -Saeko 

[Beep]

[Shisuka Affection +5]

Kurisu yells at me in complaint while Saeko laughs discreetly, the others in the group don't know how to act. Only the little girl and Scythe do not seem to understand my words, one continues to worry about her father and the other just observes everything that happens. Stopping the joke, I hurry Shisuka that although she complains seems happy.

"Just apply it or he will get worse"

"OK~"

In the end she follows my instructions and gives the man half a bottle to drink, then cuts the cloth around the wound and applies the potion. Everyone gathers around curious, without being an exception I also stand aside. The liquid sprayed on the wound seems to clot into a kind of green jelly, it wasn't very pleasant to see, but at least it stopped the bleeding.

"Now we just have to wait for him to recover"

"Hopefully it works, for now I will bandage his wound so that it does not stay exposed"

"Well, we should leave since there is nothing else we can do, we can only let him rest quietly"

I go downstairs and the others do the same. Kurisu takes the girl's hand that is unwilling to leave her dad but finally accompanies her, I look for a place in the living room on the first floor, but as if I were a plague everyone stands aside and immediately vacates the largest armchair. That hurts my feelings a little ... not really, besides, more than avoiding me, they do it because of my new shadow that immediately sits beside where I do and she takes her characteristic crouched position.

Oh, she is at the right height to stroke her hair, so that is precisely what I do. Gehk, now it's full of blood, hell, won't I get infected by this?

[Don't worry Alexander, because of the data that I have been able to collect, the virus cannot survive in an exposed environment, so a few seconds after the zombie's blood comes into contact with the air it dies]

Ooh, you can do things like that Aurora? That's great, so, do you know if a terrorist or a crazy pharmacist spread the virus?

[I'm afraid that it's neither, according to the data, it is very likely that the world itself created the virus. This world is in a process of transforming itself into a level 2 world, many worlds when they enter the process of evolution unleash catastrophes so that the living beings in them will adapt to make it easier for them to reach a tier 2 soul]

Haa? Is the world evolving? Isn't that a problem? Won't I suddenly find a creature with a level 2 soul? Aurora please tell me that information as a priority, I came here because I thought it was safer than Gaia...

[Fufufu, Calm down Alexander, I did not know that information until I inspected the environment, besides the evolution for an entire world to another level is not something that happens overnight. If it is fast it will take about 100 years, if it is slow about 500 years]

Fuuu ... that's a relief. Since I have to survive here for 6 months it wouldn't have been good if I ran into a teir 2 soul.

"It seems that what you gave me worked, he has stabilized and if things continue that way, he will recover"

Shisuka coming down from the second floor interrupts my dialogue with Aurora, but it seems to be good news. The little girl listening in rejoices and jumps energetically. Several people smile seeing her, well it is a world in which hope has been lost so seeing something positive is pleasant.

"Who is she?" -Shisuka 

"Yes Alex, you should have enough time to explain it" -Kurisu

Shisuka asks, and being unable to resist curiosity or jealousy when she sees me stroking Scythe's hair, Kurisu seconds things.

"Well, how do I explain this..."

As I say, I observe Scythe who obediently closes her eyes and let's me stroke her hair, no matter how I look at it, I can only think of one thing.

"My new pet"

"""Pet?"""

"Alex-Kun, you can't have people as pets. That's wrong!" -Shisuka 

"No nurse, that's not a person ... it's a zombie" -Komuro

The others are surprised and Shisuka scolds me, but Komuro corrects her. That's rude, my Scythe won't rot and she's already vaccinated, so she won't spread disease.

"Eh? Zombie? ... Well, then if you are going to keep it, you must feed it properly!" -Shisuka 

"Hiiii!!!"

Seriously, Shisuka is a genius in her own way ... what else can I say? A girl passed out after screaming scared, and everyone else moved further away from me, Scythe and her. On the other hand, Shisuka seems not to understand the implications of her own words.

"Okay, I'll feed her correctly"

"Alex! Stop joking" -Kurisu 

"Fufufu ..." -Saeko

All 10 of the people in the other group look at me in fear as if they are looking at a demon, they obviously can't stand a joke ... of course I won't feed Scythe strange things ... maybe my plant, but not Scythe

But speaking of feeding them, I have no idea what they eat. Aurora, do you know what I should feed the monsters that I've tamed recently?

[No, but I can buy information in the system. I only need 500G, is that ok for you?]

Oh Aurora, you're now talking to someone rich. That's like pocket change for me, you don't need to ask me about something of that amount.

[Fufufu, it seems that you are in a very good mood Alexander ... the Venus Luciferian should be fed with bodies of any kind, it also seems that she has a great appetite so you will have to feed her constantly, but in exchange the more she eat and the stronger the things you feed it with, the faster it will grow. As for Scythe, she-]

[Grooown ~]

Before she could finish, the growl of someone's stomach is heard in the room, and everyone focuses their eyes on the origin. She was next to me and looks at me a little discouraged before speaking.

"Ma-s-ter..."

From our connection from my [Tame] skill I can feel that she is hungry, the good thing is that she no longer sees me as someone tasty.... Before I could say anything she gets up and runs to the door, unable to open it she goes to a window and breaks it throwing herself through it.

"Shit, my new pet got away!"

I get up quickly and follow her, you must be kidding, I just captured her and even if I look for another zombie, I would have to wait a month to name it. After leaving the house I see that Schythe had not gone far and was pulling a head from a zombie she found.

When she releases it, she runs happily towards me and after reaching where I was, extends her hands while holding the head ... it is good that she does not escape, but now what? Does she want me to throw it so she can chase it?

Seeing that I did not make any movement, she proceeds to sink her nails into the skull. Right, she was hungry ... for God's sake, please tell me you don't eat zombie brains.

After rummaging for a moment inside the head, she withdraws her hand and throws it aside losing interest in it. When I had doubts about what she was doing, she shows me a crystal between her fingers, then she opens her mouth and tries to eat it, but before she can put it in, I stop her.

"Wait Schythe, give me that!"

She stops her hands and directs her gaze to the crystal and then me repeatedly, being a little annoyed she extends her hand and hands it to me.

[Beep]

[Scythe loyalty -10]

So the crystals are in the zombies head ... leaving that aside, it seems that she was really reluctant to hand it over to me, but it was not pleasant to see her eat something that was in someone's head, which was still stained with blood and pieces of brains.

Not that I care about the crystal itself, I put my hand in my pocket, then withdraw a 100C piece and handed it to Scythe who, seeing that it was a little brighter than the previous one, takes it quickly.

[Beep]

[Scythe loyalty +50]

She has a very volatile character ... she looks at the crystal for a few moments and eats it . So that's what she eats, but how consistent does she need to eat? If it's 3 times a day ... in a week that's 2,100 crystals, not a small amount.

[Don't worry Alexander, that crystal will probably keep her hunger in check for a week. She can't process energy as fast as Venus]

That's great, otherwise I would end up bankrupt in a few months. We all go back inside and everyone gets settled in a place in the living room.

"Somebody look for something to block the window, after that, since everyone must be exhausted, you should relax for a short time. We will take a bath and rest up for tomorrow. The first to go in will be the 10 from the first floor, as we are a somewhat big group, we will enter in groups separated by gender"

We should rest before continuing our trip to Saya's house tomorrow, and everyone being mentally exhausted from today will probably like having a good night of sleep. Everyone nods to my words and quickly begins to move.
