Chapter 6 (1/2)

—Why did my body feel so nie…?

As I ran at the group of zo I had just finished working overtime

It’s almost like I’m actually Sera Harvey

I wasn’t able to leap over buildings or anything crazy like that, but it’s not like Sera was able to do so in the gaaaishly I suppose it’sable to run like this is h for ht at the enemies I knew this was already an uphill battle

There’s only one way out… we’re going to do it and do it well!

First, I’ve got to get the Tank to fire…!

The Tank fired a high-explosive shell as soon as I got within range The shell traveleddirectly at me

… however, the projectile impacted and detonated quite a distance away froa et

The Tank is aluaranteed to never accurately land its first shot

Andstanding iun, to say the least

Thezoe hit as well

Everything is going just as I planned, save for one thing

Augh! Don’t tell h h me from the inside out

Before I had collapsed, the tank zombie fired another few shots… but I wouldn’t still be here if I had been hit by it The situation was taking a turn for the worse

“Gah… ugh…!”

Breathing was a lot harder than I res

My diaphrag as they should, but I couldn’t breathe very well The shockwave s

I-I can’t ht the only tactic was to get the eneht… but I didn’t expect to receive this ame, the blast radius is about 10 meters, but I’ve heard it’s ed un blast…

“Sera!”

Kiryū rushed over in fear

The Tank is still alive It was dangerous for him to come over here… but I’m sure he knew that already

Just as I realized he had tossed me some recovery items, he turned to face the Tank with his crowbar

Oh, that’s not a good idea You can’t take down a Tank with a crowbar…

The pain seared throughme unable to speak

I writhed in pain as the blood-soaked Kiryū ca it was pretty weak already… hey, use the healing ite too weak to use it yourself? Jeez… you okay? Do you recognize me?”

I faintly nodded at his question

“Aw, jeez… I haven’t used any healing iteame before, so I don’t quite kno to use ‘em… how about this bottle? Should I just sprinkle it over your body?”

I shook my head

That bottle… or rather, that vial in his hand has a rubber cap over the end of it It’s so that you can’t open it by hand

You need a syringe to utilize it

For soe—I did not

There’s a hospital section afterwards, so et one there

“Hmm, how about these herbs then? What do I do with them? Can I just cram it in your mouth?”

“…”

…

…

… haame, you open the menu, select Items, select Medicinal Herbs, then select Yes when it asks Do you want to use this iteonist uses the herb… I don’t have the slightest idea what to do with it

I’ht when he saw my expression, but he stuffed the whole plant ina handful of lawn clippings into a sweet, young girl’s mouth… this must’ve looked much worse than it actually was

Would this really healthe question… a ling sensation rushed through my body as if I had been i proble me had disappeared instantaneously

“… how does this world work…”

I spat the ball of herb out from my mouth

“Those ual tablets…”

“Let h as I sat up fro with blood… but none of it seemed to be his own—all of it was just splattered from the enemies

“You took down the Minotaur and Tank without so much a scratch… that’s incredible, Kiryū”

“All I did was hit and run You had weakened the Tank already and the Minotaur sas turbine exhaust”

He says it had gone so se

“No, but still, you’re way too strong even with all things considered

… you’re probably the real one- me… but I can’t help but feel like I’ve lost all inner—had to save ame like the back of etenees us to hurry to a safe zone, to which I nodded with all reement

Since we’ve just taken down some special zombies, there shouldn’t be a mob for the next little while Nevertheless, another Tank or Minotaur ht show up if ere to take our sweet time Drastic times call for drastic measures

Drastic rind for those levels after all”

“Hey, now Did you forget you were at the brink of death, Sera?

If we kill too et too powerful, ht?”

“I haven’t forgotten That was… huht, there will be too uess…”

“Trust ame so much, I can literally beat it with a plastic bottle as my only weapon I’m a beast

Yet, I just showed Kiryū just how unreliable I was It was absolutely shameful
