Volume 2 Chapter 27 (1/2)

Nothing in particular had happened during the rest of December, and then, a certain day came

Yusuke was below ground, unloading cardboard boxes at the loading areaThe boxes contained the smoked meat Mizuki and her brothers had processedThethe vacuum packer they he had found on the first floorThe plastic bags containing the

The meet consisted of the pork and beef they had kept in the freezer, but they had kept raw e to cook on the stove on the 3rd floorBecause they had a working stove to cookit a lot recently

Mizuki had been trying a bunch of dishes froht her, and as such, there was always a wide variety of food on the table

“She’s pretty useful huh?”

Yusuke mutters

“Her body is also lewdI wonder if she is getting used to it?”

Since that ti at it countless times, and not once had she acted like she didn’t want itShe still blushed fro hard, she protests, and instead pushes harder into himYusuke was satisfied with the now obedient Mizuki

Yusuke raises the loading platforas, tools, and equipment they had prepared, he had already taken to the mountainAll that was left to take was the food and water

The loading platfor on top of itThe road curves and continues underground, but because he had to keep the shutters closed, it was di, as well as ss

Near the loading zone was the elevator for transporting goods directly to the 1st and 2nd floorsBecause he could also go directly to the 3rd floor, he never really entered thethem a quick look-over(TL: I’ to say with this last sentence)

Walking by, he hears footsteps co from inside and stops

Mizuki was on the 3rd floor, so there shouldn’t be anyone in there

Withdrawing his handgun from the holster on his waist, he approaches the door without a sound

Turning his head, he presses his ear against the door

He hears dull footsteps backing away from the door

Flinging the door open, he sees the back of the ed women

The one with the injured right arm

A zombie

(TL: He has each of these sentences as separate paragraphs)

“So that’s what it was…”(TL: “ndayo”Short for “Nandayo”)

Holstering his weapon, he walks inside

Nearby was a staircase leading to the 1st floorIt appeared that she climbed down from there

As the zouides it up the stairsArriving at the top of the stairs, he forces her out the fire door, closing it behind her so that no other zoet in

Zos, but there was always the possibility one could inadvertently break so around the equipment

Suddenly, a horrible smell entered his nose

“……it stinks…”

Therein the backIt must have been attracted here by the smell

Just then, a voice was heard from the transceiver on his waist

“Takemura-san, Takemura-san, can you hear me?This is the 3rd floor”

Yusuke takes the transceiver from his waist,

“I can hear youThe repeater see happen?”(TL: I think he ood)

“Ano, could you co for help but… is it okay to answer them?”

“I’m on my wayWait a bit”

It’s been a while since there was contact with a survivor

Yusuke hurried to the 3rd floor

“Help…… help me… anybody…”

Yusuke heard the sah the headphones attached to the radioThe voice also flowed through the external speakersMizuki looks at Yusuke with a worried expression, as if asking hi(TL: Has a rival appeared?!)

The radio on the desk was about the size of a confection boxIt was connected to the antenna on the roof through a coax cable and so the range was quite large

They had heard things coh the radio before, but it was encrypted noises and signalsThis was the first tih

The girl’s tearful voice had been coh for a few minutes, then cut off

She hadthe frequency before speaking againWith a quick scan, they were able to hear her again

While listening to her, Yusuke speaks to Mizuki

“Try answering her”

“M, me?”

“She will be ht?Don’t tell her about this placeAsk her about her whereaboutsCan you do it?”

“Y, yes”

Mizuki takes the mic in her hand, and presses the transmission button

After hesitating a bit, she opens her mouth

“Ano… hello”

As soon as she lets go of the button, the girls voice coh

“Help me!Where are you?!”

Mizuki was about to respond, but the reception light was still onThe other side was still sending the transmission

When the light finally went out, Mizuki spoke

“Calm down!Please remain calmWe can not speak at the sa, please release the transmission buttonWhere are you?”

After a short pause, the girl’s voice once again coh

“I don’t know!Help o?Nee!”

The sound of a switch

“…Ano, calm down, please listenWhere are you holed-up at?Is anyone with you?”

A small interval

“……Why are you askingto help?!No, noo, no more… tell me where you are…”

“Ano…”

“I want to come over… so please tell me… nee…”

Yusuke extends his arirl’s voice

Mizuki looks at him with a puzzled expression, but he waves his hand,

“That’s enough”

“B, but”

Yusuke speaks while re the headphones,

“I heard the footsteps of someone else behind herThe pauses in her speech were also strangeSoirl was a decoy”

“Eh…”

“What she was saying was inconstant, and she was trying to find our whereabouts right?Everyone is thinking the sa”

“……but……that person, if she was acting……”

“It is possible she was being threatened into itBut, it’s just as likely she wasn’tThere is no er to try to save her”

“…………”

Mizuki was downcast

Looking at her, Yusuke scratches his face,

“If you tell theht now, the herd of zoet any weird ideas”

“That’s…………”

Mizuki lifts her head and lets out a lonely laugh

“I won’tEverything Takemura-san has said has turned out to be correctI will follohat Takemura-san saysPlease do not worry”

“Well that’s fine, but…”

“………etto, I’ll go get the laundry”

Mizuki stands from the desk and walks into the hallway

At that sh

(What a troublesome person…)

Yusuke faces the desk again and flips the switch on the radioHolding the manual in one hand, he aardly fiddles with the spectru that there are no other signals

(There are too )

He could figure out how to operate the recorder and tiure it out

Returning to the configuration of the radio, he takes a breather

The calendar on the tabletop next to him enters his view

In the box for today’s date, there was an event written at the bottom

“Th… no, that’s today huh…… It came quickly”

Yusuke threw the manual on the desk

Taking his jacket off the coat rack at the entrance of the room, he heads towards the back entrance where he parked his bike

That night

After dinner in the conference room

“Fuuu…”

Whenembraced by the main character, Mizuki took a short breath

The ending credits had begun flowing down the large monitor in the conference room

Cracking his neck, Yusuke frankly gives his impressions of the movie

“Was alright”

“It was huh…”(TL: “Soudesune”)

A retired infor a terrorist, it was a movie with a lot of action

It wasn’t like nothing interesting happened, but there was nothing a that stood out

“It got pretty good reviews, so I was expecting a bit but…”

“Yeah…”

Once the end credits had finished, a preview came on for another movieAs the pro and changing

“Ah, this!We should watch this one nextI haven’t seen it yet, but it looks interesting”

“Heee…… it’s about animals?”

A federal investigator who could speak to animals used his power to catch criminalsIt was a comedyIt was quite popular and had three movies in the series

“Well, it’ll at least be better than the one we just watched…”

They had put a portable player and a sofa in the conference rooes of the table, various pastries, snacks, and PET bottles were stackedThe lights were turned off in the conference roos

The clock showed that it was 1:00 in the

It was Christmas

Stockpiling food and collecting hand tools had been proceeding smoothly, and so today they would relaxThe first movie they watched was a Disneytiht that the kids would like it and picked it out

After the kids had gone to bed, Mizuki and Yusuke continued watching , he had put in a zombie movie, but as expected, it wasn’t received well
