Volume 2 Chapter 30 (1/2)
After Yusuke had left to investigate the fire…
On the 3rd floor of the superto leave
Mizukia battery powered lantern on the desk, they quickly gather everything necessary for their departure
She had divided food and clothing up and placed the with bottled waterWith this it would raised the likeliness of theot separated
They could grab another one along the way, so Mizuki didn’t pack the rice cookerBesides, the generator couldn’t run very many appliances at onceYusuke had found so it and it was left untouchedIn any case, they would have little power
Mizuki packs various docuhtly wrapped food into a cardboard box
The bulkiest itee wouldn’t becoht their winter clothes (snow suits) and underwearMizuki packed what her brothers couldn’t carry with their rucksacks in her bagShe also used the field backpack Yusuke had left behind to pack towels and other cleaning supplies
(It’s like I’o on a trip/vacation)
This thought runs across Mizuki’s mind
About to leave the now familiar office, she felt uneasy
However, she was looking forward to leaving this cooped up environmentShe had expectations for her life in the mountains
Mizuki was absorbed in learning about agriculture as instructed by Yusuke
She wasn’t all that fa lit a fire in her chest
It was hope
Right now, Mizuki and her brothers were just survivors of a broken civilization
However, growing the food they needed in order to survive through the soil and her oith that action befitting hu back on track
Living as a hu to be proud of
(Anyway… if I follow Takeo)
Mizuki was s happily
It was a strange sense of trust
She carries the stuffed bag into the hall
Rays of sunlight shi+ne through the s along the wall in the corridor, signalling the breaking of dawn
At that moment, she notices the elevator display flashThe elevator was raising to her floor
(I wonder if the fire was nothing?)
Thinking that he arrived quicker than she expected, she stops her movements
She sets down her bags and waits for the elevator to open
With a ding, the elevator arrives, and the doors slowly open
“Eh…”
Mizuki steps back
What appeared in the elevator doors was not Yusuke
It was a ragged, dirty, gri so hard)
Thick beard hair was growing out of his jaw, extending all the way to his shouldersScraps of vegetable waste were tangled thethat was throayStains were scattered all over themA terrible stench escaped into the hallway
She re him before somewhere
The htly opens his eyes
The , and with his feet trailing behind, he walks out of the elevator
As if pushed, Mizuki takes another step back
“A…no……”(TL: Searching for so to say)
Leaking out a puzzled voice, the ht
In his hand was a dirty haenerator?)
“…………”
Re silent, she slowly steps backwards towards the office
She has the feeling she has seen this man before
However, she is unable to recall when they have met
Suppressing the shaking in her voice, she speaks,
“Are you a…… survivor?If it’s food, we have someWe have a bunch, so help yourself……”
She re and places it on the floorWhile the man’s attention is drawn to the food, Mizuki quietly falls back
The man approaches the food and crouches down in front of itAt thatthe door behind her
She would need a barricade as there was no lock on the door to the office
If she had fled to the locker room, she would have been able to lock herself inside; but she escaped to the office thinking of her brothers
Then, she remembers the identity of the man
(……It was him……)
It was the lean looking man that was the last to leave the 3rd floor
The ed on the locker rooet her to open it
Why was he still alive?
Where had he been until now?
At first Mizuki had been confused with his sudden appearance, but he was not the kind of opponent you could take a friendly approach with
“Tak-kun, Ma-kun!Get to the back of the office!”
She yells at her brothers in the officeSurprised by her strong (threatening) attitude, they take their rucksacks and run to the back room of the office
(If I can’t protect them…!)
Thinking she could use a desk as a barricade, she goes to thIt was the sa this time, the man could enter at any momentUnable to compose herself, she panics
With a confused face, she thinks,
(This won’t work!What should I……How can I……)
A weapon
The hot water supply rooet the kitchen knifeHowever, there should be unused knives packed away in the officeSo that her brothers couldn’t get to the with other tools
Pulling open the desk drawer and searching inside using the diht from the lantern, she was finally able to find the key
Unlocking the cabinet with tre hands, she shoots a look at the door to the office, confir that the man has yet to enter
What was inside the cabinet consisted of a gas torch, a portable stove, and cutleryTaking out the package containing the knives, she tears it open and grabs one
