Chapter 5
Night fell
That ht and could unleash their true power
“Erika”
“What is it, Satori-kun?”
Over the phone, Erika sounded gentle, kind…andShe would not give up her turn I could hear it in her voice
“It’s getting dark around here, but what do vampires eat? With that many of you, you’ll need a lot of supplies just for dinner”
“Hee hee Don’t worry As long as we have fresh blood, we can survive in the wild or in the er steak and cabbage rolls like nor, I’ve ordered the their own supplies Of course, things e once the vampires cover the entire city…Urp”
“Um, Erika?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine I’ll be back to normal after a few deep breaths …I refuse to let Ayu my stomach bit by bit, I’ll be able to shock you with how much blood I can drink”
“You don’t have to coirl!!”
“By the hat about your dinner, Satori-kun? I always take care of the cooking when ? I’m honestly kind of worried”
“Yeah Ayuether”
“What!? That sounds like so much fun! Why didn’t you call me!? Aren’t we family!?”
“Huh? I thought a clean freak like you wouldn’t like sitting outside with s your hands all messy”
“Satori-kun, it is being a clean freak that gives me such a clear distinction bethat is and isn’t clean Nohich is cleaner: letting yourself enjoy an event or refusing to take part due to sour grapes? And no fair! Noooo fair! Why is Ayuets to be with you!?”
“Sorry, sorry”
I
And then I said it
“But this is all your fault”
“…Oh?”
The cellphone signal could not carry an at at my chest
But I didn’t care
I had decided I would save the Swi to make a mess of the simulated Kukyou City to do it So this was not the time to declare war Erika had already done that when she captured the Class Rep
“I’ this once, so listen up”
“Okay”
“Take the Class Rep and escape to an elevated place If it’s a building, get to at least the third floor To be honest, I haven’t done the detailed calculations, so the higher the better”
“Hey, Satori-kun I don’t want to ruin thisto do it anyway I don’t knohat you’re about to do, but do you really believe you can defeatthe day, do you really believe you can even touch ht?”
“Didn’t I say I’ it once? This is all wasted if the Class Rep is caught in it”
Yes
Norht
But…
The deluge of water pouring from the broken dam overturned all of that
A giant reservoir of water in the mountains supported the city’s water supply
I had gotten soirl to take control of the dam No, to destroy it
It was obvious ould happen to the city downstrea were entirely useless
“Satori…-kun!? Wait, don’t tell me…!!”
“Is the water already there? It doesn’t rush in as a solid wall It will start rising at your feet, but the next thing you know, it’s several meters deep”
I viewed the nighttime city from the mountain road, but then moved the smartphone from my face a little
The aerial i up with dark water in no tis looked like lines of square stones cutting across a pond
In truth, the depth and speed of the water did not matter
The main point lay elsewhere
“Va water”
“!?”
“So prepare yourself, Erika A vath comes from their twisted social structure with the queen at the top You can’t take advantage of that if you’re trapped on separate rooftops And it goes without saying that the water won’t stop the zo around the city”
Our battle preparations were complete
I had no ot to work
“Onii-chan, where can we find a boat!?”
“This is a disaster prevention city! We can find one just about anywhere!”
Next to the roadside metal cases for fire hoses were identical sized containers When I opened one and turned the valve, a rubber boat with an electric
“More importantly, Ayumi, are you okay? You’re injured!”
“Hm? Why are you worried about a zombie’s injuries?”
She gave a quick wave of her bloody hand She had been like this since getting back frouess that the workers had put up a valiant fight to prevent the entire city fro flooded, but it was odd that the top of the zo more to the dam?
She used a sewing set’s needle and thread to roughly sew up the wounds like she was repairing a stuffed animal
“We need to hurry, Onii-chan Ti to wait around!”
“Well, if you’re fine, okay But be irl, after all!!”
“C’ me blush Oops, my arm came off”
“Ayuet thaaaaaat!!”
We placed the rubber boat on the water that was as dark as the sea at night First Ayu to sew and then I folloith the collapsible bike in my arms
I hadn’t even thought about how to use one of these since they had taught us in school, but I ed to use the reat muddy stream and toward Kukyou City
“How are we on zombies!?”
“I round and at the dah of them, they’ll multiply like crazy on their own!!”
I used the aerial footage from the drone to steer the boat tohere Erika was The buildings rising from the sunken city whooshed by on either side of us
The pandeun
The va water, so they were stuck on the building rooftops Then the countless zombies rose from the water, climbed the walls, and swarmed the isolated vampires Even if there were more vampires in all, the zombies outnumbered them on the individual rooftops After that, they were helplessly devoured
Wow…I know it’s not fair to judge zombies like this, but you certainly can’t call them smart…
“Good, it looks like they’re et ‘em, men!!”
“It looks like the drowned corpses and the ‘uninfected’ who aren’t part of either group can both be turned into zoh to turn a vampire into a zombie or vice-versa”
“That doesn’tsister”
We discussed the situation as our rubber boat raced across the dark water
Using the drone, I could tell exactly where Erika was and that was thanks to one of the vampire’s major restrictions
A vampire could not enter a house without permission
Our home and public facilities like a school were exceptions, but she could not set foot inside any private property That meant she was stuck out on the rooftop
To her and the other vampires, the world was made up of separated square fields
I just had to peer down at them with the drone
The balance of power had been reversed in no tiroup centered on their queen, so a local difference in nuh to defeat them individually
“Onee-chaaaaan!!”
Ayumi shouted over the roar of the rubber boat’s motor
We were right next to the rooftop where Erika waited
A chapel bell toas visible next to it, so it was not that tall a building
We practically crashed the boat into the edge of the half-subed rooftop While I tied the boat on with a rope, my little sister cliothic lolita dress
Erika had a servant on either side of her like bodyguards Those two, Erika herself, and the forehead glasses Class Rep were the only ones there
I heard splashi+ng from all around us
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty… More and e of the roof Then the zombies pulled the up from the depths of hell
Ayuave a shout
“This is check to forgive you if you apologize now!!”
“Don’t act so proud This devilish resolve was definitely more Satori-kun’s style”
“That doesn’t ht now!!”
“Oh, my I’ll kill you for that one, little sister”
“Fuguu!!”
