Vol 1 Chapter 7 (1/2)

Chapter 7

There wasn’tup there would only get us cornered, so we left the dark floor and er

Luckily, this was Kukyou City, known as a disaster prevention city A small storeroom had plenty of supplies: canned fish, an uusts of wind, synthetic fiber bags, powerful battery lights, rope that could be used forwith an insulated surface that looked like alu, it could all be used as a weapon

“Can we really defeat vampires with this!? This looks like some kind of craft made over summer vacation!!”

“Ayumi, vampires come in a variety of types But in this case, all of the ones in Kukyou City were turned into va…

We ran into a va down the stairs

Before the young man could move, Ayumi opened a one-touch umbrella Aluminum foil had been pasted across the surface It looked like a reflector in a photography studio and she shi+ned a powerful disaster battery light on it

The concave lens focused the violently bright light into an even ht which shi+ned on the vampire’s face down the stairs

“Vaht!!” I shouted

“Kh”

When he flinched back, I tookattached to the end of a rope It felt heavy and there was a reason for that: it was filled with cans, creating a le blow

I used centrifugal force and the height difference to swing it down on the vampire

He see at his heart, but a part of his heart must have proudly known no physical attacks would work on him

But he rong

The dull sound was re At the sa It was solid fuel that had been broken to pieces before stuffed in with the cans In other words, it was ash wood kindling I had been able to tell it was ash wood because it had smelled the same as the sticks used in the previous bombs

Vah the heart by stakes made of specific types of wood

“Gyaaah!?”

For the first tie

The vampire’s arms were taken out, so I went for another hit This ti star and took it to the center of the chest I felt the heavy blow land

The sound of his annihilation was horribly dry

Before he even collapsed, his body turned to ashes and scattered across the stairs

“It worked…” Ayuht “It really worked!! But they’re only supposed to be weak to sunlight!!”

“Erika would’ve seen through it right away, but the new va our victory, we can trick the astar with ash wood hidden inside We can ht have insane specs, but wethem use those specs!!”

We descended the stars and walked down the hallway We ran into a few va, shouted that va water, threw soap ooden stakes stabbed into it onto the floor for them to step on, and otherwise tricked theht bit of ti star

I was scared, but this wasn’t impossible

We could defeat the vampires!

“User, our previous entrance point is beyond that door The boat should still be there”

“Okay We can escape I’m not sure what to do once we do, but we can at least avoid dying here!”

“Onii-chan, if rite in our ownershi+p of another building with the docu, that is, so her inside!!”

Meanwhile, we opened the door

As soon as we did, I heard a forgotten voice from my smartphone

“You’re mean…”

“Eri-…”

“You’reall my vampires, aren’t you? Now I’ll have to make more…urp”

“Quit drinking yourself sick on blood! You don’t have to force yourself! Now do soestion!!”

“Fuguu!! Are you saying it’s okay if the zombies are taken out!?”

“Hmm,” said Erika “Aren’t zombies kind of meant to be taken out? Iwhile the panicked police officers shoot them like crazy”

“Kh You have a point!!”

“And I’ve had enough”

She sounded like she had lost her nerve

As I worked with the Swimsuit Class Rep to push the rubber boat out onto the dark water, I felt a shudder run down my spine

Soht

Sos outside

“Satori-kun, if you won’t give in and if you’ll bare your fangs against your own sister, then I’ll have to go all out too Yes, it’s too late to co to me now”

“User” The Class Rep looked up into the night sky and gave a report “There is no ical explanation”

“Wait a second Then is soet back here! The documents don’t matter!! Get on the boat! Hurry!!”

“Eh? Ehh?”

Ayus

Yes

This wasn’t just a million or ten million Far, far more bats than that covered the entire area like a sandstorle vampire could separate into, but this was far too many A pillar of bats rose frole point in the night sky They concentrated there and became a black sphere This was the process a va a vaathered together into a single giant mass of flesh

“I don’t knohere you’re hiding, Satori-kun, so I’ll just wipe the entire building from the map”

Vampires were said to transform into bats

They were thousands if not tens of thousands of meters up and who kno many vampires’ worth of bats they were

“The Varcolaci That Eastern European vah the sky and devour thea celestial body would be a tad difficult, but don’t you think they could figuratively pull it off by causing an eclipse?”

Only Erika’s voice surrounded me

This was the all-enco scale of a queen

“Eh heh Let’s say the average weight of aFor 100, 65 tons For 1000, 65 tons So ould it be for 10,000 people? Nohat if a ht appeared at an altitude of 25 km? What if it appeared up there at the thickest point of the ozone layer which deflects the sun’s har to ask of a sciency person who built his own disaster environment siood at math?”

“…”

650 tons Soer planes or military transportation craft were ht not see to cause an earth-shaking crater, right?

But even the biggest confirrams

It was all about the conditions What would happen if soest was dropped on the earth? Even if the starting point of its fall and its initial speed were different, it would still reach terht

I was left speechless, so Erika made her announcement over the phone

“I call it Moon Mortality …A solar eclipse during the h There’s also a risk of being exposed to sunlight even at night when sending the exposed to direct sunlight during the day The rest is just like the human parasol No It’s ti the sunless night Are you ready for the false asteroid strike? I hope you enjoy it☆”

This is insane!!

Erika, I know you’re a clean freak, but have you never heard of restraint!?

So to drop straight toward the earth So 25 km up should have been invisible if it did not eht, but I could indirectly sea it because it blocked out thewe hid The Class Rep, Ayumi, and I pushed the rubber boat out onto the dark water and planned our escape

“A darkin the sky This is faster than expected I estimate it will land in twenty seconds”

“Twenty? Thatfaster than a kilometer per second! That isn’t a free fall, so is it actually accelerating? And what kind of name is Moon Mortality, Erika!? I didn’t realize you were such a difficult adolescent!!”

“Eh heh heh It’s because I have such a pure heart”

Thethe moon did not pursue us Maybe Erika did not have an accurate idea of our location, maybe she could not overturn her initial co was just a demonstration to break us mentally

I didn’t know the answer, but the moment still arrived

Ayu, so her eyes darted around

“Eh? Eh? What? What’s happening, Onii-…”

“Just grab onto so!!!!!!”

The next thing I knew, all light and sound were erased from the world

No, it must have been the scenery before my eyes that was erased

I could not tell up from down

As soon as the rubber boat curved sharply behind a giant building, a trelass shatter, but it looked like a giant arm had knocked over the reinforced concrete We were behind shelter, but the boat still flipped entirely over And hunks of concrete larger than trucks rained down

“Uuh!?”

There was no strategizing or tactics here It was almost all up to luck

We soht our heads above the water, and swao

Luckily, Ayumi, the Class Rep, and I all avoided a direct hit

But we had no time to relax

I looked tofroiant crater

The real estate building had been annihilated and so spread out from there

My clean freak of a big sister was not done cleaning up

“Oh, no… A huge wave is co!!”

I knew this was dangerous, but there was nothing we could actually do

We were sed up and tossed about

I felt like a shi+rt in the washi+ng machine

I had no idea how far I had been taken A few dozen th holding onto my hand may have been the only reason I survived

“Puhah!!”

We all reached the surface

Luckily, the overturned boat was nearby We ed to flip it back over and climbed on damn, my collapsible bike must be at the bottom of the water

“The central financial business district appears to have been annihilated,” calmly reported the Swimsuit Class Rep

She kept her eyes on the night sky where the moon was hidden once more

“And I believe the false asteroid strikeMy sample data is too sht minutes for the countless bats to form a black bullet, fire, and land”

“If she starts sta we can do Are we toast? Please tell me no! If the Class Rep finds out about the swimsuit dance set, she’ll beat me up!!”

“…”

We began to lament, but my twintail little sister remained silent

No, she wasunder her breath

She was apparently lost in thought

“We need so an asteroid strike level of catastrophe… There would work…but…no, I can’t get my priorities backwards… What door wouldn’t have been flooded? Yes, if ere swept four hundred hes Real Estate…but if that’s the only route, they’ll be rushi+ng there…”

“Ayumi! Hey, Ayumi!! She’s off in her own little world Take this!! (tap tap tap)”

“Unyaaahn!!!??? Y-you stupid Onii-chan! Do you want attention frootten in the habit of touching her stitches!? Stop that!!”

“Next tiure out how many you have across your body Anyhat do we do!? I’m not some brilliant detective, so if you have an idea, tell me!!”

“C-count the places…count all of them…”

“Ayumi!!”
