Argument

"About feeding the zombies that teacher, that's technically true ... about killing someone, I don't remember killing someone in this world"

"He is lying! I saw him shoot a guy on a motorcycle"

"Me too, he shot him in the head and killed him!"

"Oh that, I had completely forgotten about those guys. It's true, I killed that guy ... but he shouldn't count as human, he said that he wanted to rape all the women in our group, maybe I could ignore that as his personal fantasies, but then he said that he wanted to make me his bitch or something like that, so you can't blame me for killing him."

"Alex, the first thing you said was enough ... the rest wasn't needed, you should have kept quiet"

After explaining the facts, Kurisu speaks with her hands on her head. I had to say it, because that greatly influenced his death.

"Mom, those guys were vandals, they wanted to take advantage of us all."

"They could have been bad people, but Shido-sensei wasn't, he wanted to help us! Alex has to pay for what he did to him."

Even with Saya speaking in my favor, the other group remains firm in accusing me and they want me to receive some sort of punishment for what I did. Soichiro just keeps looking at me and Yuriko-san seems to think about things before she speaks.

"You mean Koichi Shido?" -Yuriko

"Yes, Shido-sensei wanted to help everyone and he threw him at the zombies."

"What's up Yuriko?" -Soichiro

"I don't know him well, but you should know his father. If his son is like his father, I don't think he's a good person." -Yuriko

Oh, Yuriko-san seems to support me, with her words Soichiro also sinks into his thoughts and then nods in affirmation to her, but before he could say anything, another person intervenes.

"Takagi-san, he wasn't the one who fed Shido-sensei to the zombies, I was the one that kicked him out of the bus, besides he deserved it, he was a bad person" -Rei

"I should also be an accomplice, because I was the one who opened the doors" -Saeko

Rei intervenes, that's a surprise, I thought it was good enough not to have her pointing and complaining about me with the other group, but it seems that she is not a bad person, only our personalities collide. After her, Saeko also talks about what happened at that time.

Soichiro looks at Rei and then nods, puts his eyes on Saeko and sees her carefully and then asks.

"You are the granddaughter of Busujima-sensei"

"If you are talking about Toko Busujima, you are correct"

"I see, if my sensei's granddaughter supports that boy, then he shouldn't be a bad person."

It seems that Saeko's grandfather is someone famous too, and he must also be a sword master if he instructed Soichiro. Things calm down and the tense atmosphere we were in was fading, but the people who accused me, seeing that they did not achieve their goal, one of them points to Scythe and drops a bomb that shakes the heart of everybody with greater force than before.

"He has a zombie that follows him, she is one of those monsters"

Soichiro's men point their weapons at Scythe, even he and his wife take theirs and stand on guard against her. They look at her in detail and soon find discrepancies to those of a human, it is not difficult to confuse her with a zombie, and the only thing that can disguise her among humans is that she does not seem aggressive as she is always behind me quietly.

"Get away from her, she's infected!" -Yuriko

"She seemed a little strange since I saw her..." -Soichiro

Fuuu ... this is a problem, she is not a zombie, but neither will they believe me if I tell them that she is a ghoul. I only have one way to go and hope they accept it, if not, we will have to separate from them. I can't lose Scythe since her strength is still the greatest of everyone here.

"Calm down she is ... a zombie, but it's a mutation I found. She can't infect others and also the other zombies are her enemy. Yuriko-san and the men who accompanied her must have seen Scythe fighting with them, right?"

With my words they seem to question what to do, and then turn to Yuriko-san looking for an answer. She hesitates a little, and then nods to confirm my words. Although they don't lower their weapons, they all look less disturbed, still keeping alert against her.

"Although she does not attack us now, we cannot know what she will do in the future. If she stays here, it's a very large risk for us having her remain within this area." -Soichiro

No, I can know if her mentality changes, I just have to check the loyalty indicator, it's a shame that won't work as an excuse since they can't see it.

"Well, then we will leave. Do not attack or she will move to defend herself and that will only make things very bad, I will take my things and we will leave here."

"Dad ... Scythe won't attack anyone, she's very obedient to Alexander-san."

Saya tries to convince her father, he furrows his brow and seems to hesitate, then makes a decision and says as he looks me.

"I'm sorry, I can't put everyone who trusted me at risk. She can't stay in this area."

"Dad!!"

Saya raises her voice and complains to her father for ignoring her plea, those in the other group that started this have big smiles on their faces, I should be mad at them, but honestly I don't care, I never trusted them from the beginning.

"Then I will leave"

Pretending to leave, Saya runs and stands beside me, then with a hard look she screams at her parents.

"If Alexander-san leaves, then I will go with him"

"Saya!!" -Soichiro

"Saya, don't make a scene" -Yuriko

Then a family quarrel begins ... in which unfortunately I am involved. Well, I will not deny that it feels good to have a girl telling you that, I may not have your wife Soichiro but I will take your daughter, hahaha.

"What are you smiling about Alex?" -Kurisu

Shit, I was making a mocking face towards Soichiro and Kurisu saw me. Let's calm down, we're talking about serious things Alexander. While Kurisu was asking me, and I could only make a silly smile at her in response, the fight between Saya and her parents intensifies.

"Why would you be worried about me leaving here anyway? You had time to go and look for me, but you preferred to help random people than go save your own daughter!!" -Saya

"Saya that's ..." -Yuriko

"We were going to look for you, but ..." -Soichiro

"If it weren't for Alexander-san and the others, when you two decided to go look for me, the only thing you would have found would be a torn body or one walking through the streets. So if Alexander-san leaves, I'll go with him."

At the end of her words Soichiro and Yuriko-san don't know what to say and only remain silent while Saya sheds tears. Then apart from her, people begin to gather next to me and Kurisu. Saeko, Shisuka, Hirano, Misuzu and Niki quickly take my side, after hesitating for a few seconds, Komuro and Rei do so too, and at the end Yamada and Yuki join our group.

"I owe my life to Alexander-san too, so if you don't mind having an injured man in your group I will go with you" -Alice's Father

"I will go with my dad" -Alice

"Roof!"

I had forgotten that we had a dog in the group ... well, yesterday after they came I lost consciousness in the bathroom, and today he was with the group in the Humvee, also as the dog is Alice-chan's and she is almost always next to her father, I hardly interacted with them.

Keeping my core group and losing the other group does not affect me. In fact, I am glad that I can prove their loyalty with this. With them I can collect more survivors and with things getting worse every day, they won't care about my rules in order to stay safe. Nor am I going to mistreat them, simply those who fight against zombies will be more favored.

"Soichiro, I saw her fight and she is really very aggressive towards the zombies, we can allow her to be in a specific area and prevent others from approaching there"

Saya's mother not being able to bear it anymore also asks to soften the conditions to prevent her daughter from leaving. Soichiro frowns and thinks for a moment, then nods and tells me.

"Do you think you can keep her in a specific area and she will not leave it?"

Now that they mention it, Scythe doesn't specifically have to stay inside, as long as I can check on her condition periodically, that would be enough, thinking about it I then answer him.

"It should be possible, and we don't even need it to be within this area, but if you could build something simple nearby to make her more comfortable that will be enough"

Listening to my words, Soichiro's serious face seems a bit more relaxed, although I must say that if you don't pay attention to it, you can't notice it… does this guy have facial paralysis or something? He almost does not move the muscles of his face.

"I can promise you that much" -Soichiro

"No! He can't stay, he has a zombie with him! We'll be in danger if he stays!"

"It's true, he is very dangerous!"

The group that had wide smiles when they heard that I was leaving, knowing that I would stay, raised their voices in opposition. Without the need for me to intervene, Soichiro speaks to them in a strong way.

"Silence, we have already made a decision. Besides, she won't stay inside where people are, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"B-but ..."

"My husband will take responsibility for what happens, you can rest assured"

Yuriko-san also speaks in support of her husband, the others being unable to say anything else just look at me, I smiled at them and they tremble and take a few steps back. They shouldn't worry since they helped me see the people I can count on, and I also don't have the energy or the time to take revenge for something like that, although of course they won't be saved from me putting their faces on my blacklist.

"Well then I'll take Scythe elsewhere"

"I accompany you" -Kurisu

"I'll go too" -Saeko

"I also" -Saya

"Saya, tell me about everything you've been through, please." -Yuriko

I walk to the door and Kurisu along with Saeko talk to accompany me, Saya also wants to come, but her mother calls her, in the end she convinces her to stay and they both walk inside the mansion. Komuro and Hirano again help Alice-chan's father with her by his side.

The others in my group also walk behind Saya and her mother at the invitation of the latter. After seeing each one of them go somewhere, the three of us went out of the fence that must have been hurriedly constructed.

When I leave I search for a suitable place not far away and that is not visible to the guards, without taking too long we find it and when checking that nobody is observing I take out my poke-ball. Both observe it, Kurisu because she hasn't seen it before and Saeko recognizing it as the object from the previous night.

I press the button in the center of the small sphere and it grows to the size of my palm. I've always thought it's a great object, last night I didn't have time to appreciate it, but now that I have it, I feel a little excited to see it.

"Go Venus Luciferian"

At the end of my words I throw the poke-ball a few meters from where we were, there is a white glow and the plant I summoned yesterday appears, then the sphere bounces back to my hands. Kurisu is surprised at what happens and Saeko seems intrigued.

"What is that?" -Kurisu

"You mean the plant or the sphere?"

"... both"

Unable to resist the curiosity Kurisu asks, because she is not taking her eyes off the poke-ball I handed it over to her so she can observe it as much as wanted, while I answer.

"Yesterday I went out to check some things, the plant came out of a summoning scroll similar to the one I used to summon you, but it calls a monster instead of a person. As for the sphere, it is an object that can store a monster inside it"

"Did you summon Kurisu-san?" -Saeko

"Yes, Kurisu and I are from different worlds" -Alex

"Wait Alex! What are you doing telling other people that?!" -Kurisu

"Eh? Why can't I?" -Alex

"Well that's because..." -Kurisu

Kurisu tries to find an answer, but the reasons that she thinks of are from stories, so she ashamedly answers me.

"It is assumed that, in such stories, the person cannot say that he is from another world ... perhaps it is because others will treat you like a crazy person or because they are forbidden to do so" -Kurisu 

"Well, I don't have a rule or restriction in that regard, although I think you're right about the first part, but don't worry, I don't intend to scream wherever I go that I'm from another world, I told Saeko because I trust her and need help to be able to complete this world's missions. "

"What missions?" -Saeko

"Do you have missions in this world too?" -Kurisu

Both ask at the same time, I tell Saeko a little about the system so that she can understand it better, but she seems even more confused than before I explained, because of her appearance she is not a person who reads many fantasy books or is interested in video games.

Then I inform Kurisu of the missions I received when we arrived in this world, I haven't had the time to tell her because we were busy killing zombies or there were other people around preventing me from being able to do so.

"Then you have to kill a million of zombies and make a camp with 50 thousand people?" -Kurisu

"It has to be you yourself who kills a million zombies Alex?" -Saeko

"No, the zombies killed by people that the system considers to be under my command also count. So they are missions that complement each other."

"I see, that relieves me a little, if not, I wouldn't know how long we would have to stay here." -Kurisu

While chatting with the girls, Scythe approaches the Venus and begins to caress her leaves. Do they have some kind of connection from both being my monsters? Well, it is good that they get along, because for what I have thought of, it is necessary that they do.

Staring at my monsters both of them stop looking at the poke-ball and also focus on them. Because its daylight, the plant is better appreciated, it is quite tall with just over two meters from its root to the mouth-like parts.

Now that I think about it, after summoning it, the things with Saeko happened, and I didn't have time to check It's status. I enter the system menu in my head and select the Venus Luciferian that appears on the menu as a "summon", I'm sure that if Kurisu finds out that she is classified in the same way, she will get angry.

Damn, it's physical stats are really a lame, I think even a simple goblin could take care of it ... that's a bit unfortunate.

Surely it would not get far by itself, but with help to grow it must develop quickly or at least I hope so, if not, I would have wasted a space in the tamed monsters that I have at this moment.

[Don't worry Alexander, you could say it's a monster that blooms late. As you said, if you help the Venus Luciferian to grow, you will not regret it]

"So you summoned this monster?"

While Kurisu was looking at the plant, she had a face as if she didn't know whether to congratulate me or give me encouragement because I had no luck when I called it. In fact, the only one who seems to have a good impression of Venus apart from Aurora is Scythe, who continued to caress her leaves.

I explained to the two girls about the information Aurora told me, so they wouldn't despise the plant so much, then approached Scythe and the Venus. I had in mind that, with the help of my ghoul, it would not be difficult to make it grow.
