In the dorm building, on the third floor…
The four teenagers ran down the hallway of the corridor towards the student kitchen on the floor.
“I can guess that this university is the most elite I have ever met” Ryou said as he ran
“That's. I am very happy to get a scholarship to get here. Aren't you guys too?”
“We...we three feel from abroad and are transfer” students
Kino looked at Ryou who looked calm after telling such a lie. Ryou who realized that immediately looked at the older brother and asked.
“What? Why do you see me so, Kino?” Ryou looks confused
“Not anything”
Kino tried not to prolong the problem. Once in the student kitchen, the first thing Ryou picked up was two large butcher knives and a knife sharpener.
“You...you instantly picked up that thing?!” Song Haneul was shocked
“That's. This is what we need most now. Oh, yeah, I put this in your bag. I want to be able to move freely so put this shopping bag into”
Ryou gave his shopping bag to Song Haneul. The sweet woman could only remain silent without refusing Ryou's orders and stuffing the bag into hers.
Kino and Kaito could only shake their heads at Ryou's behavior.
“I can't say anything about your sister”
“It's okay, Kaito-san. I'm trying to calm down here. Ryou is used to it. I hope Kaito-san will get used to it”
“.....” Kaito just him while closing his eyes with one hand
Ryou quickly sharpened the blade he had in his hand like an expert. Once he was ready with those two butcher knives, he immediately tried them.
Slowly he opened the contents of the refrigerator there and took a can of fruit cooled inside.
Ryou showed a sly smile like in a yandere anime character. It is full of unique expressions.
“Let's see how effective my sweet boy is”
-JLEEB
He quickly cut the can in half. Song Haneul who happened to be nearby could not blink his eyes and look at the expression of the tin-cutter.
“Ryou...you...well-sa–”.
“Ahahaha!!”
“Huwaaa!” Song Haneul was shocked and took a few steps back
Hearing Ryou's laughter that was like a bad person, Kino became panicked.
“Ryou..
“Yeah! That’s my boy! We can cut their necks all off quickly with this. You want to hold one for self-defense?” Ryou gave one knife in his hand to Song Haneul
Yet he seemed to be shaking his head quickly as a sign of rejection.
“Hmm. I'm the one wearing it. But, in the grocery bag there was a cell phone and two knives that could be used. You just wear it. I'll change using this. Time to cut off the meat of former man”
Ryou looks excited.
After finishing with his butcher knife, they decided not to take another one.
“In a place like this there is no gun or anything like that so can't expect anything other than a knife or a heavy object like a fire extinguisher” Ryou murmured
Kaito is more silent than commenting now. Ryou who ran the front was followed by Song Haneul and Kino. Kaito became the last one with the sword that had come out of his sword sheath in hand.
‘The gem was on Jung Leon's corpse in the library. Can I go there to pick it up myself?’ kaito thinks
He accelerated his footsteps slightly to the level of Kino.
“Kino, what do you know about all this?”
“Consider this all yes..which is obviously all this is the same as the content of the story script made by Song Haneul-san”
“His relationship with my divine power could it be because of what he said a while ago?”
“So. Means that piece of my memory here made everything that happened in that woman's story come true. What a troublesome gem” Kaito smiled thinly mocking himself
“Kaito-san, this is not anyone”'s fault
“But, why do my memory gems have such troublesome powers? Since when do I have memories that seem to have their own will and mind like this? ‘The man’ never said about this to me”
“Maybe there is something that triggers why Kaito-san's memory pieces have strange powers in every dimension they are in. But obviously, for the current one we have to get it”
“What....we should go to the library first to pick it up?”
Kaito's proposal makes Kino stop running. That made Kaito stop running as well.
“Kaito-san wants to go back to that place to take your application?”
“True. I was thinking by getting the gem, at least we can reach one of the many goals we have now”
“But, we don't even know if that main gate has the same direction as the library or vice versa”
“Because of that, I'll take it myself. You and Ryou still go with Song Haneul”
Kino turned pale and approached Kaito.
“It's too dangerous, Kaito-san!”
Ryou and Song Haneul had almost reached the second floor. Realizing no one else was following behind, Song Haneul stopped and called Ryou.
“Ryou, behind us there are not both of them”
“Hah?” Ryou looked back
Now he's panicking.
“Okay my good brother and friend, stop forcing this non-suffering me to become a heavyweight patient”
With that grunt, Ryou returned up the stairs to the third floor.
“Where are you going?” shouted Song Haneul
“I want to catch up with them. You stay there and don't go anywhere!”
“....” Song Haneul is speechless
Kino and Kaito were arguing with each other.
“That's dangerous, Kaito-san! What if a zombie attacks you?”
“I understand that. But if we go together like this, we'll just be a waste of time. Besides that–”
“Kaito-san, the three of us already know the reality of each other that I, Ryou and Kaito-san are connected to each other now. If you touch the jewel and it turns out that there is only one gem in this ‘world’, then the three of us will be directly thrown out of this place to ‘world’ where your next gem”
“I understand it”
“But, didn't you think about what would happen to Seo Garam-san and the others? This might look like ‘world’ stopover pieces of your memory. But, just like Theo-kun, Stelani-chan and the others.it's real for them”.
Look Kaito's eyes turned serious. He was actually trying to convince Kino of his proposal.
“I know that. I told Ryou about the same thing in the city center. I said the same thing as you said so I totally get it. I'll be careful this time. This is all so that we can get out of this problem faster, Kino”
“Because of that, the thing that Kaito-san said was very..”.
Kino stopped talking. His eyes began to be unable to hide his anxious and worried feelings.
“Kaito-san.once we get out of here, all those zombies will attack and chase after us. Even if we split up later, there will be zombies that have fast movements like in the library at that time”
“That's no problem. I'm pretty confident in my abilities”
“But I don't believe in your lucky rate”
- Jleeb
Like a knife piercing Kaito's heart. Who would have thought he would hear a Kino say such a bitter reality.
‘Why....why do I have to hear that fact said by you, Kino? I wish you never said that and now I feel my shitty luck laughing over my suffering’
