“Mmm…” Iroha seemed to be thinking, “Will thaat woork?”
Just when I thought she had stopped…
I’m not sure if it will work or not though.
“What if he doesn’t listen to you no matter what?” Iroha asked, normally this time.
“In that case…” I sighed.
I have a feeling that it might end up like that.
“It can’t be helped. If it comes to that, I’ll have no choice to kill him. The boss of this place.” I said.

When we finished talking and left the bathroom, we bumped into Sakata.
“What are you two doing?” He rolled his eyes at us.
“Well, bathroom.” I replied.
“And you were both in the women’s restroom?” He asked next.
Oh… I had completely forgotten, but I’m on a man’s body now.
Sakata started laughing, “You guys were having some fun, weren’t you!?”
“T-that is… That’s not the case.” I replied.
“Sure, sure, just don’t be having some premature ejaculations, alright?” Sakata laughed out loud.
How uncomfortable… Are men always excited about this kind of topic?
Either way, we passed by Sakata and went back to our room.
Just then, we met up with Oda, who seemed to have just arrived.
“Yo.” He greeted us.
“Yes…?” I replied.
“Can I ask you to do a job now?” Oda asked.
“Sure.” I told him.
“Burn that zombie woman you killed.” Oda told me.
I stayed silent for a few seconds, but he said nothing else, so I decided to ask, “… That’s it?”
“That’s it. Why do you ask?” Oda asked back.
“It’s too easy.” I replied.
Oda averted his gaze. It seemed like he was a bit troubled over how to talk about this.
But soon enough, he continued, “Certainly, this isn’t dangerous, but you see… This is a job that not many people are willing to do.
“Therefore, you do it, since it’s your ‘fault’.”
I just heaved a sigh in response.
“You can be happy about it though. The boss seemed to have also been thinking that that zombie should be disposed of, so he was happy when he heard about what you did.
“Depending on how well you work, you might meet up with him soon.” Oda told me.
Even if says that, I still have mixed feelings about all this.
After all, I might either make him a slave or kill him tonight.
“For now, just focus on doing work, alright? Over here you can get promoted much faster than in the previous world.
“After all, there are only a few humans available, and there’s a lot of work to be done.” Oda told me next.
“I see.” I vaguely replied.
“You know, we’re actually planning on using this place as our base to restore civilization in this country, so like…” Oda started saying.
“Don’t oppose the boss?” I tried finishing his phrase for him.
“Oh… Did you hear that from Akai?” Oda asked me.
“I did.” I answered honestly.
“Well, then you already know.
“In any case, the boss has a talent, you know? The kind of talent you need to create a strong country.
“I couldn’t think I’d be involved in something like this back before the world changed.
“This is a pretty worthwhile job, isn’t it?” Oda asked me.
I looked away from him after hearing this much. It was hard to meet his gaze.
Oda laughed heartily at my reaction though, “Actually, aren’t you enjoying this too? This ‘world end’ situation?”
