“A bit more.” I replied as I drank a whole glass of cola in one gulp.
The salad had asparagus, corn, mushrooms, tomatoes and bamboo shoots.
It wasn’t bad, but I missed the usual lettuce and cabbages.
“A can of peaches next. They’re a bit cold, but they’re quite tasty.” Rintarou said.
Those were quite juicy… The more I ate them, the more the juice spread in my mouth.
“Here, beef bowl and cup noodles. Eat it.” Rintarou gave me the next dish.
So, the cup noodles finally came… I eat those a lot, so I’m a bit bored of them, but… What is this?
“Tomato juice…?” I muttered.
Apparently, they put warm tomato juice instead of water on the cup noodles.
And what’s more, it also has other toppings… Is this cheese?
It was quite the unusual combination, but it went surprisingly well with cup noodles.
“Leave it to me if you want to arrange cup noodles. I often came home late at night from work, so I ate simple meals alone.” Mr. Norio gave me a thumbs up as he said that.
“F-father…” Kousuke looked at his father with a very confused expression.
And finally, I took a quick gulp of black coffee, “Alright!” then stood up and slapped my cheeks.
Refueling complete.
“Iroha, I’ll take your place!” I shouted as I climbed the barricade.
Then, I saw Iroha hitting the zombies with a technique I hadn’t seen before, “Take that! Secret technique, Galaxy Star Crush!”
Oh? Galaxy Star Crush? That attack uses English words in it… Did she give up on standardizing all her skill names by using Japanese words?
Well, everyone can have their own naming sense. It’s fine as long as she’s content with it.
As for the skill itself, it seems to create a mysterious energy wave that moves forward for over a dozen meters, blowing any enemy in its range high up in the sky.
The swarming zombies were being quickly torn apart by this skill, just like stars floating high up in the sky… I guess the name fits.
Though this is also a very dirty constellation that Iroha is creating…
“Then, I’ll be back soon.” As Iroha said that, she jumped inside the barricade with a relaxed expression.
Thank to her, the number of zombies seems to have decreased considerably.
However, there were still plenty of them coming.
The zombies crowded through the narrow passage, creating a nightmarish sight.
It would surely take a while to finish them all off while fighting normally.
I took a deep breath and emptied my mind.
The internal organs scattering blood… The smell of carrion that is stuck to my nose… The zombies’ meaningless empty growls…
If I am conscious of those things, my swordplay, which should be precise, will end up getting disturbed.
“Alright then…” I muttered to myself.
Then, let’s do this. The task of repeatedly using Special Sword Skill IV at the zombies begins!
