Chapter 651: To The Place I Need to Go (2/2)

[Fyuuu~~ Iris-san, you have quite the throwing technique there~~]

[……Ehhen~~]

As the four of us ran down the road, with Iris-san joining us…… a large one-box car came into view at the end of the road.

[Kaito-san! This way!]

[Liddy-senpai!?]

This time, it’s Liddy Quanette-senpai!? S- Seriously, what in the world is happening here!?

Even though I'm feeling perplexed with what's happening, we followed Liddy-senpai's words and jumped into the car. Liddy-senpai then quickly closed the door and called out to the driver.

[Riri! Let's get out of here!]

[I understand!]

Sitting on the driver seat…… was Saigyouji Ririka-senpai.

[Yahooo~~ Kai-chan. How does it feel being the protagonist of a zombie movie?]

[Even Fae-san…… Seriously, what in the world is happening?]

Speaking to me from the rear seat with her usual insipid voice was Murakumo Fae-san…… Now, all the lab members, my friends in this world are here.

Even as I had no idea what was going on, Alyssa spoke up while changing the magazine of her submachine gun.

[I know it's too late to say this now…… but we, the ”Ally Characters” are here to help you.]

[A- Ally Characters? W- What do you mean? Or rather, what the heck is with that weapon!?]

[Well, it's that, you know? To explain it simply, we were created based on Kaito-san's lovers in the original world, and each of us received the emotions from the original us. In other words, we're beings that feel that we're Kaito-san's ally even in this virtual world. Incidentally, as for these weapons, there were plenty of them in Yumegaoka University…… The God who created this world must have prepared them for us when we're going to help you.]

[……Ally…… in that case……]

Hearing Alyssa's words, I looked around at the lab members gathered here…… and they all nodded with warm smiles. Ahh, d*mn it…… I feel like I'm about to cry. Seriously…… They're encouraging reinforcements.

[Now, Kaito-san! Please tell us our destination! We'll be here to support you!]

[……Thanks, everyone.]

After expressing my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who rushed to my aid, I told them the place that I'm aiming for.

When Kuro told me about how I need to go to a place where I could clearly recognize Mom and Dad's death, there were two places that came to my mind.

The first would be that place where Mom and Dad died…… The accident site that I will never forget. However, it's probably not there. The accident site had been renovated a few years ago as part of an urban redevelopment project, and the landscape around that area had changed.

It may be the place where the accident occurred, but it was different from the accident site that I had remembered. If that were the case, I thought that that place would be weak in terms of me clearly recognizing my parents' death.

In that case, there was only one option left. That place that I had visited many times back then……

[Riri-senpai! Go through the highway heading towards the southern suburbs…… To ”Tokikaze Cemetery”!]

[I understand! We're going full speed…… Please hold on tight!]

The cemetery where Mom and Dad lie…… is the place I should aim for!

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [They're Gun-fu fighting…….]

? ? ? : [They're just basing it on the original Kuro-san. Incidentally, Alyssa-chan is a versatile gun-fu fighter who can switch between assault rifle, submachine gun, and sniper rifle, allowing her to deal with enemies from all distances.]

T/N: I'd like to see this in the manga, or at least the smug/teasing Iris-san (VR Isis-san)
