Volume 2: Chapter 46

(AN: I decided to put some perspective on the other characters. I hope you can bear with it.)

"Where are we going Takagi? The voice of the man said that we should stay in the rooms!"

A man that is short and overweight. He has a shoulder-length hairstyle that has bangs reaching down from the side of his temples stretching outwards and obscuring the sides of his face.

"What? The door in our room is already broken! The man is still very far! We should go towards him instead of waiting in our room with a broken door!"

A teenage girl of under-average height with long pink hair which she mostly keeps in two ponytails on either side of her head. Her hair also has two thin, long bangs at the sides, two thin strands of hair over the left side of her forehead, and a spiky larger portion of hair covering the right side of her forehead. Saya has fierce orange eyes and furrowed eyebrows.

Both of them were shocked, looking at the windows while running. Students were safely elevated from the ground, making them safe.

Also, her decision was right. If they stayed, they might get eaten first before the man will save them. They were running while dodging and evading some of the zombies. Luckily, the fat man can manage to follow her.

"Well, I was thinking that it's more safe going to the staff room... Maybe we can ask for help from our teachers?

Hirano, the fat man said, as they continue to wear the man's voice came from.

"Are you an idiot? As if the teachers can do about this situation!" Takagi, Saya answered the man in an annoyed voice.

They finally arrive at the bridge of the school and Hirano talked again... "But... In this situation! In this situation..."

Saya halted and replied, not looking at Hirano and asked in a distant voice "I have a question."

"W-what is it?" Hirano answered anxiously.

Saya then turned her head and looked at him with a sharp gaze and her eyebrows lowered, continued her question "Do you want to die? Or do you want to live?"

"Uhm, well..." Hirano silently silenced and looks at the zombies below the bridge.

Saya sighed and pointed her finger at Hirano and said "I wanna live, okay? I want to see the man that is capable of doing the saving us!" Hirano can only nod nervously and followed Saya as she runs again.

Farenear looked at his map and found two blue dots running from in the school hall, he sighed because they did not listen to what he said but thought that they might have a reason why they do it.

"Sir Farenear... Are you okay?" Miss Kyoko asked worriedly because she noticed Farenear went silent. It's because [Saya Takagi] is part of the connection and she is running in the hall, full of zombies.

"We must hurry up..." Farenear muttered and grabbed his flute. Humming in a sharp tone to summon the cherry blossom dragon, making the people witnessing it got scared and admired the beautiful creature.

Many things happened in a single day, and most are full of surprises. Farenear asked them to cover their ears and shouted.

"Let my pet ride bring you to the school roof! Don't be scared at him, he will protect you all."

Doing that, Rei and the others stared at him and asked internally 'Who are you? Really?'

The school is very big and so it might take a few minutes before they can help Saya. Actually, Farenear can do it in haste but he did not trust the two men on the group if he let him protect the girls, Especially the four of them with connections in this world.

While the dragon is still busy saving the civilians around, in and out from school.

Meanwhile...

"T-Takagi, do you happen to have your cellphone on you? It's against the rules, but--" Hirano asked while both of them is leaning on the school hall wall, avoiding the zombies. Dragging and eating bodies.

"I'm an honor student you know and who would I even call if I have one?" Saya answers in a low voice.

"Uh, well, there's always the police..." Hirano answered while still in alert, looking at every direction.

Saya sighed with a smug face and a tired voice "You really are stupid, just look at this uproar. Don't you think someone's tried to call the cops already? We haven't heard a siren yet, have we? Do you get it now?"

"Is the city really have been in an uproar? Should we call the JSDF?" Hirano said tirelessly while looking at the ground.

"Probably. The police have probably been dispatched already... But just look at this place. I wouldn't count on the JSDF either. Saya replied nonchalantly while leaning on the wall while here eyes scouting every corner.

" I know that without orders from the government, they can't be dispatched for defense or public security. But..."

"I'm not talking about that!" Saya answered with a yell because she is already annoyed by Hirano, making the zombies turned their heads towards them.

They started to run while Saya thought "Damn! stuck with fatass her since Komuro run off... What a drag!" She was annoyed and mad because his childhood friend left him and not even taking her with him. But little did she know that her feeling with her childhood friend will disappear in an instant, the moment she will see Farenear's actions.
