Chapter 45: This Is Getting Troubled And Worrying
Chapter 45: This Is Getting Troubled And Worrying
The emotional moment I had with Mikoto served for her to put her insecurities aside from her so we could clean the areas near the door to the underground floor.
We decided to take a break at noon and returned to the safe area. For this mission, I brought a backpack with enough supplies for several days since you never know what kind of stupid things can happen and it is better to be prepared.
While Mikoto and I were cleaning the infected we found several backpacks with packed lunches that still worked so putting everything together was enough to feed the group of girls and teachers who were hungry, as for the dogs, they were happy eating parts of the infected.
"Thank you for helping us, I don't know how to thank you for coming, feeding us and you even helped me to contact my son" - A beautiful woman with black hair that reached to her waist, a curvy body and glasses spoke to me.
I did not eat with the others as there is something that worries me, but this also served to bring this woman closer to me.
"No problem Miss Komuro" - I smiled kindly at the beautiful woman who turned out to be the mother of the protagonist Takashi Komuro.
When we introduced ourselves to the survivors, we discovered that some girls were related to some people we rescued.
Some of the students who went off with the shitty teacher had family here too, but by leaving us they missed the opportunity to contact them, karma is a bitch.
One of the girls who seemed to be the bravest besides Kurumi was a little blonde named Kaori who was the little sister of the protagonist I found in the warehouse, Haruki Amamiya.
Kaori is too brave to the point of her heroic stupidity so I had to distract her from following me in eliminating infected or it would be annoying to become a babysitter.
To distract her I let her get in touch with her brother so I was able to leave the place to explore on my own.
When the blonde girl Kaori spoke with her brother, some of the girls and teachers who had families in my group got in touch.
Some girls found their loved ones and since then they have been thanking me at every opportunity.
I also met a high school student named Saya Matsukaze who is the younger sister of one of the teachers who saw her student-lovers die.
Both older sister Mayu and Saya who are of a similar age to my younger sister became very grateful to me, although the fact that Mayu seems to be trying to convince her little sister to enter my harem makes me question her rationality.
On the other hand, Miki Takashi was more suited to my tastes, a mature and beautiful woman.
Even if she was the mother of a protagonist I didn't care and wanted her in my harem, although the fact that I was disappointed to see that she didn't have a wedding ring and therefore can't ruin her marriage made me worry about my sanity.
Miki shook her head as she smiled. - "Miss Komuro makes me feel like you are one of my students, just tell me, Miki"
Miki sat next to me while she sipped a can of coffee. There was a soda machine in the teachers' lounge so we have a variety of canned drinks.
"So Miki, how was your talk with your son?" - I went back to eating while looking at Miki.
She is a beautiful teacher who has the appearance of a strict woman but when you get close to her she becomes quite soft, she seems to have a good impression on me, maybe too good.
"Komuro is fine, thanks for taking care of him" - Miki smiled before her expression turned gloomy. - "The things that happened ... This whole situation is absurd, it's like a horror movie, but a hundred times more horrible"
It must be painful for an elementary school teacher to see her dear pupils turn into violent, bloodthirsty creatures, this will undoubtedly give her nightmares.
I put my hand on his shoulder to show my support. - "This may seem like a nightmare, but we can only face reality, at this moment you are safe, that is the only thing that matters"
I smiled kindly. - "No matter what happens, you always have to move forward"

… I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.
Miki smiled at my words, she reached over and put her head on my shoulder. - "It has been difficult to have to live on my own, I separated from my husband a few years ago and my only son has always been rebellious so we have distanced ourselves, I feel a little lonely ..."
Woman, it seems that you are in need of affection. The power of three plot armor combined into one person is terrifying.
First Kenichi and now Komuro, it seems that my destiny is to be the stepfather or brother-in-law of the protagonists.
Miki reached out her hand to hold mine as I held her hand to give her a sense of security and company.
I'll need to gather more weft armor, this is too convenient ... Or maybe not.
Shit, this is why I hate brats.
"Hey Nii-san!" - Kurumi ran towards us while some girls followed her, ruining my moment with Komuro's mother.
Why can't they be obedient like Honoka? She let me sleep with her own mother without interrupting.
"Show us a card trick!" - Kurumi showed me a deck of cards that were from a teacher that she liked to play before she died, this brat has no problem with looting corpses.
Years ago I learned how to do street magic tricks to entertain people and then steal their wallets when they were distracted, now that my Agile Hands skill went up to 100% with all the training at Yami I have become an expert in party tricks.
To reassure the girls I showed them a couple of tricks and now they keep insisting that I show them more tricks.
The biggest problem is that Kurumi and other girls are giving Miki jealous and teasing looks so they are doing this on purpose.
How troublesome, these are the downsides of plot armor, if I'm not careful women will start fighting each other, I just wish girls weren't included.
"Okay, but just a trick since I have to go secure the area" - I saw Miki frown a little at the interruption, but she wasn't really upset since she is soft with little girls.
"Yey!" - The girls shouted in chorus.
I did a special trick so they weren't noisy. I put the corner of a card on the fingertip and held it upright, then I put another card standing on that card and so on until I made a tower of 10 cards that were being balanced.
"Incredible Onii-chan!"
"Teach us how to do it Nii-san!"
I smiled a little, they remind me of my little sister when she still liked these kinds of tricks, maybe these brats are not that bad even if they cause me a couple of problems.
Balancing the cards I thought of something, can Rasen be infused into objects like Ki?
I tried to move the Rasen through my finger to convey it to the cards and something interesting happened.
"Amazing!!!"
The cards started spinning while wobbling, it was a strange scene as the cards seemed to be about to fall at any moment, but they stayed together while the rotation speed increased.
Looking closely you could see a subtle blue light linking the cards that was only visible to those using Rasen or true Ki experts.
Looking at this phenomenon I thought of something.
Rasen is the spiral power so it involves the concept of turning, adapting, and evolving.
Thinking about the spiral concept, I can only think of the Fibonacci sequence that generates the golden spiral.
From what I understand this spiral appears in various figures in nature such as plants, spiral galaxies and is even included in the art to achieve a state of harmony between the figures.
Looking at the cards I felt like I was scratching the surface of a greater power but couldn't understand what it was all about, I had to put it aside for the moment as the fucking shitty voice kept sounding like it was excited about what I'm doing.

This is getting annoying and giving me a really bad feeling.
"Well that's all for now, I have to go check the area" - I stopped the letters and arranged them to return them to Kurumi.
"Mou nii-san should stay to do more tricks!" - Kurumi pouted like a spoiled child, but I can see that she is scared.
The scenes where her companions died in a miserable way left a deep wound in her heart and perhaps now she is afraid that I may leave so as not to return.
Kurumi is quite a mature girl for her age, she tries to use her cute appearance to convince me to stay for fear of losing another friend, she even started dragging the other girls to convince me with numbers.
While they are cute, puppies are cuter so I don't care if they start acting like pitiful brats.
"Behave and play with Mikoto or something like that" - I looked at Mikoto who kept seeing me as if she were trash, I think she has already labeled me a pedophile, how troublesome.
I came out of the underground floor and began to wander while focusing on a new problem. Mutated infected have not appeared in this school so I can focus on my new cause of headaches, my Madness energy seems to have something akin to a will of its own.
I am obsessive and my personality has many problems, but I think things have gotten worse since I got Madness, the worst thing is that now it is not just a problem in my mental state, this damn thing is starting to affect my body.
After having a safe place at Rika's house I was able to get a small suture on my forehead where I had the bullet hole, I have not regenerated the skull so it is a sensitive area so I keep a Ki cover to protect my brain in case of receiving an unforeseen blow.
The problem is that shortly after I started hearing the strange distorted radio-like voice with static, the hole began to secrete black blood.
I looked at the condition of my body with Ki, Rasen, and Hamon and I did not find anything strange, this blood appeared out of nowhere and there are always three drops in my body, even if I extract it my body will replenish them so that there are always at least three drops.
This blood looks like the manifestation of Madness. The Ki is an internal energy that is only visible to other martial artists, the Hamon can manifest itself in the form of golden electricity that has the properties of solar rays, the Rasen is a kind of blue-green flame similar to the Bolear aurora.
Until now I could not see the manifestation of Madness so seeing it in the form of black blood makes me feel uncomfortable, it looks like the plague.
I must be careful with this damn thing, I feel as if the distorted voice is trying to influence me to destroy and corrupt everything in my path.
Although I don't have the empathic abilities to prevent my actions from hurting innocents, it bothers me that my actions are being influenced by someone or something else.

Shut up!
Damn, not only do I have to put up with Navi, now I'm schizophrenic.
I decided to ignore the shitty voice and continued cleaning the school, to distract myself I came to the entrance of the school to see the surroundings, I wanted to check that the infected in the street did not come and flood this place.
As I watched the dozens of infected scattered on the street I saw something that made me want to curse this fucking world of shit.
Those infected were plant-like, did not move a muscle, and only reacted to sounds, and like plants, they were basking in the sun.
My Hamon training has made me sensitive to life energy so I'm sure these damn things are replenishing their energy with sunlight.
Well, this explains why the infected are so sensitive to the Hamon, the infected need energy to move since they are actually still alive, that's why they eat people, but I still don't understand why they only look for humans while ignoring animals.
I thought that if they were given time the infected would start eating each other which would reduce their numbers, but now things are really troublesome.
The jerk who thought it would be cool to make eco-friendly zombies with solar batteries was fucking sick.
On the positive side, this will make the infection crisis long-term so I don't have to worry about leftover governments eliminating the infected before I can conquer the world.
When I have a more private place I will have to do some experiments with the infected, I want to see how far they can go if I stimulate them with enough Hamon, Ki, Rasen, or even Madness.
No, on second thought it sounds like a terrible idea, that's how horror movies with apocalyptic monsters begin, I'd better limit myself to Hamon.
I have a bad feeling that I am becoming more stupid and impulsive than I already was, I will seek a psychiatrist when I get the chance.
Mental health is so problematic.
