Volume 2 Chapter 14 (1/2)
“Umm… I’ll think about it.”
Yuusuke turned around.
Originally, there was no reason to help these people. At first, it was for information. But after I regularly gave them supplies, they started to talk about different topics.
Because I brought food to them once, I can’t break the promise that I’ve made. It was becoming troublesome for Yuusuke.
Yuusuke didn’t benefit from helping them. He didn’t want to do it.
“Um, …hey!”
Mizuki ran after Yuusuke and the atmosphere changed.
“I’m sorry, excuse me, I’m sorry that you’ve helped me so much.”
“It’s okay. . you are probably hungry.”
Contrary to his words, Yuusuke backed away from her.
“There’s a blanket here. You can use it because it will be cold soon. It should help when winter comes.”
I arrived in front of the elevator and a hand yanked my s.h.i.+rt from behind.
I turned around, and Mizuki was clinging on me.
“Please help Mr. Takemura! Please…”
Her face is so beautiful. So fragile. It aroused Yuusuke. She makes you want to wear the best clothing when you are around her.
No man could refuse a face like that. Yuusuke wanted to help her, even though he didn’t.
“Have you seen anyone that has been attacked by a zombie?”
“……..”
Mizuki lightly nodded.
“I risk my life to get food. Do you know that?”
“Yes…”
The fact that he had come into a girl with such fragile emotions, he couldn’t help but think of tormenting the beautiful girl feelings.
“What good is it to share food between you? What do I gain? The amount of food I give you each week is enough to feed me for a month, I was doing better off before. You’ll need to give me something in return now, the next food run may only be my share. Do you not understand?”
Mizuki bows down and stares at the floor. With the present situation, it was understandable that food was awfully expensive. With no comeback, Mizuki was lost. Yuusuke dropped his voice and stopped.
“Well, I can do it because I have to. On the other hand, you have to do something too. In this situation, it doesn’t matter if it’s a child or an adult. It’s give and take.
“Mizuki raised her head slowly.
Her expression was stuck,
“Something..?
“I want you to arouse ‘it’.”
(TL: By that he means his p.e.n.i.s.)
“….”
Mizuki stepped back while holding her chest.
Her eyes changed into a contempt look.
“Men are always so.. Do you always think of us like that?”
“What can you do? Trying to persuade me”
“But I can’t allow this!”
Yuusuke stared at the enraged Mizuki and watched as she cooled down.
(Oh dear, it might not be possible for her to do it.)
Until now, Mizuki had been demanding to go with me. I know her values well. Pride doesn’t take no as an answer. It’s life or death. But to see Mizuki still standing there, Yuusuke,
“…Please hold on.”
As I was about to turn around,
“Wait…. I can do something else”
“Say so, so I can hear it.”
“I can provide Mr. Takemura with a safe place here. I will watch it when you are absent.”
“I don’t need it. Where do you think I sleep? I could kick you out and take over it.”
“Then, then what do you need? Should we not help each other in a time like this!? There’s even a child here too!?”
“I don’t know. I usually don’t help anyone. Do you see my selfishness coming out? Do I finish with a thank you? Because you are a woman, and you have a minority with you, do you think that I have to help you?”
“Such a thing..”
“In this matter, try to reconsider the word ‘help’. I am no rescue team or volunteer. I have to go through zombies in order to get food.”
“……”
Mizuki bit her lips and looked down.
Mizuki didn’t know that Yuusuke wasn’t targeted by zombies. In other words, it made sense that he gets food for them. Yuusuke was annoyed that Mizuki needed food and what he got in return was a simple thanks.
Mizuki said without power in her voice,
“Money… if I can go home, all my savings…”
“Don’t talk”
Mizuki remained silent after the conclusion.
“Is it really useless.. can you really not help me?”
“It is useless. When you have to survive, you must sacrifice something”
“……….”
Mizuki muttered in a small voice.
“…With my hand…”
“What?”
“I’ll do it by hand… I can do it”
I moved to a stall in the men’s room and closed the door.
It’s a shoulder’s length away when two people enter it.
