Chapter 63 (1/2)

“Really, nothing……?”

“So repet.i.tive, I said I don't need anything”

Usokawaーーlooks to be bewildered.

Well, I suppose so.

……Commanding Officer-san said something like ‘We were able to move according to the scenario'.

That means, things turning out this way was predicted, and a lot has been prepared according to a.s.sumptions.

But, a new j.a.panese Infected Emperor appearing apart from the female Infected Emperor who was already found should be totally beyond expectations.

Therefore, he hesitates, bewilders, and an opening appears.

It being totally beyond expectations is why he fell into a panic.

A perfect, meticulously constructed plan is weak against the unexpected.

And over there is a chance to take advantage of.

This organization, half of them are the same as Sakurchan from what I saw, zombies with their senses.

If I just gave an order, I could easily lead them to destruction.

That being said, an organization of this magnitude, doing it from the front would no doubt bring death.

Since I'm bringing Aki-chan and girls along, I want to avoid a fierce battle as much as possible.

Even if I'm strong, challenging an organization by myself is reckless.

Which is whyーーI want to a.s.sure our safety by making them my allies.

If this organization really wants to rebuild j.a.pan.

Then I'll lend a hand.

It works out better for me that way as well.

“I'll lend a hand if you're rebuilding j.a.pan, it's better for there to be a medical inst.i.tution, if there's a fire, an amateur like me wouldn't be efficiently at firefighting……I have no clue about things like the infrastructure regarding electricity and water supply……however”

“However?”

“It'll be different if you're intending to use me as a tool for war”

It's just that if he's intending to take advantage of this confusion to perform acts of invasion then I'll firmly reject.

I have no plans of becoming a tool or weapon for war.

If it's not made clear strongly, it'll be a pain in the distant future.

“There's no such intention! j.a.pan is an island country, as long as we are not attacked, there's no intention for war.”

“Then it'll be fine”

I'm really glad that j.a.pan is an island country.

An island country, therefore there's no other country on land. Those invading during these circ.u.mstances should be the neighbouring countries by the borders.

……Well, only if they have room for that.

“…………”

Saya remained silent.

I've asked her to stay silent, and have her put s.h.i.+ro's face that she hasn't had in a long time on.

Commanding Officer-san only briefly explained about us.

Therefore, Usokawa shouldn't know in detail my relations.h.i.+p with Saya.

Actually, Usokawa sometimes looks at Saya with a surprised expression.

His poker face has crumbled since just now and is making a face that says ‘Did this guy put a fused individual under his control……?'

“……Will you, help us?”

“Aa, as long as you guys don't betray us”

“Is that so……then, please take care of us”

Usokawa who has stood up lowered his head very deeply to me.

“Please lend a hand in……this j.a.pan's reconstruction, please, your strength is needed”

“No, that's……”

To think that I'm being bowed to.

Having thought about the possibility of being told ‘You're a hindrance!', turned into an enemy, and erased, things readily developing as what I had wished for has got me a little bewildered.

“I get it, I'll lend a hand if it's within my capabilities”

But……is it really fine to trust him.

I look at Aki-chan who's sitting beside me.

Aki-chan eyes said, ‘Isn't it fine to trust these guys?'.

……Well, I guess so.

If they thought of killing me, they should've been able to do it at any time.

Having not done that, it seems fine to trust them more or less.

“Thank you……thank you very much……”
