Chapter 32: Acting Like a Hero Makes Me Sick
The girl with the purple hair and the wooden sword found trouble. She could fight dozens of infected at once, but the arrival of the hooded mutant put a lot of pressure on her.
The mutant is violent, fast, his claws are so sharp that he can drive them into concrete to climb walls and although I killed him very quickly to check I can say that he has strength superior to the normal infected.
The biggest feature is that this thing looks like a hunter that stalks its prey and then lunges at it. I think the first mutant came to the roof to use it as a lookout for other prey, his behavior is similar to a hunter so I will call him Hunter.
As the infected pressed the girl, the Hunter stalked preparing to pounce when the girl dropped her guard.
My group was near the room, on the way I killed every infected person who came near while making sure that the women saw up close how dangerous and violent these things were so that the feeling of gratitude and dependence towards me would grow.
Something interesting that I noticed is that nurse Shizuka seems to use a silly attitude as a way to face reality without despairing, it is as if she refused to accept a reality where the slightest mistake would cost her life, she has only cared a little as if blood and corpses don't affect her.
Shizuka's mental toughness cannot be underestimated as she is less of a fool than she seems. She is aware of the situation while she maintains the attitude of a buffoon to lighten the mental pressure of the other women. Shizuka is an excellent nurse as she can give peace of mind with her antics, she will make an excellent pet.
Chizuru remains expressionless but her micro-expressions show that she is terrified, she constantly looks at me as if she fears that she might abandon her, she reminds me of a lost puppy. If she didn't have a communication disorder that makes her expressionless then she might be crying out of fear, I'll have to monitor her mental state so she doesn't have a breakdown.
The heroine whose name turns out to be Rei Miyamoto is holding a broomstick, she belongs to the school's spear club so she can fight decently, or at least she would be if it weren't for the trauma I caused her so for now she's just a burden.
Kyoko and Midori are the most affected. Both were the ones in greatest danger and if I did not come to this world they would both have died.
Both are the ones who stay closer to me for fear of being unprotected, this is more serious in Midori who seems to be going through a mental breakdown.
I am sure that if I show the slightest interest in her body she will offer it to me as long as she does not abandon her. I will have to educate her so that she does not become totally dependent on me or she will want to follow me everywhere around which will be a hassle.
Finally, there is Takashi who has not done anything relevant so far, whenever an infected approach it is me who eliminates him with a blow.
To avoid situations where someone stupidly stumbles I have made sure to throw the infected out of the windows after smashing their skulls.
To prevent the infected from gathering near us, I have been infusing Hamon into the corpses that I throw out the window. The infected act like moths that follow the light and instead of attacking us they run to devour the corpses outside the building.
With the little experiment I did with Rei's boyfriend I know the approximate amount of Hamon that I can give to the infected without causing a mutation, this way I can create decoys to distract the infected without fear that they may become too strong.
Our walk was a bit slow as I can't show all of my strength. My full power has exceeded human limits so it might scare others if I show my full strength.
Once we arrived in front of Group 3's classroom, Shizuka screamed excitedly. - "We came to help you!" - This made the infected look at us giving Saeko a space to breathe.
Shizuka knew this would help Saeko, she's not as dumb as she seems. - "I'm going to save them! Takashi protect the others! "- I also yelled to get the attention of the refugee women while making sure that Takashi couldn't stand out.
I rushed to the infected as he cut horizontally with the ax. Most infected were similar in height so I was able to behead most of them.
"Back off, I'll take care of it!" I screamed like an action movie character as I hurried to the Hunter.
"GWAAAAHHH!" - The Hunter screamed when he saw me and jumped to attack me.
With a thrusting motion, I pushed into Hunter's chest to avoid his claws and with a twist of my wrist, I propelled the ax to split his head in half.
"Let's clean the area!" - I gave an order to the purple-haired girl.
Something I learned in the world of Kenichi is to identify a martial artist and the type of path they follow. Seeing her serene expression of her when fighting, I can tell that she has a mentality of a traditional Japanese warrior similar to the time of the samurai. She is similar to Izayoi who follows the Bushido path.
Bushido speaks of loyalty, righteousness, and obedience, a warrior who follows this path will follow his master to the end of the world even if it costs him his life.
They are strict people and her mentality is similar to that of a soldier so if I can establish dominance between us it will be easy to make her loyal, then I will exploit the sadistic side of her and I can get a reliable warrior.
The purple-haired girl nodded, we both cleaned the infected in the hallway leaving a safe space. Group 2 is on the lower floor while Group 1 is moving to clean the first floor.
At this rate, group 1 will be safe and I will not be able to approach the women in that group so I must do something, I cannot let things resolve without my intervention.
"Stay here and secure the door, I'll go find other survivors and clear the way" - I spoke with a serious expression.
Midori and the others looked concerned, but did not object, they saw my strength and knew that the only thing limiting me was having to protect them.
I took a quick look at the women in the place and I liked what I saw, the teachers in this place are really beautiful, there is even a woman with breasts comparable to Shizuka's and they seem to be friends as they both started chatting happily.
"Nao-chan you should have seen Luis-chan! He brought us here while he protected us! " - Shizuka showed herself to be a good pet and began to talk about my exploits with the teacher with big breasts while the other women in the place listened with curiosity.
"Protect this place, I'll be back soon" - I told the purple-haired girl to close after we left and that she only open when I returned.
"You can call me Saeko" - The girl called Saeko said seriously, she seems to be starting to recognize me as a potential teacher.
To avoid an unpleasant situation where the protagonist becomes close to these women in my absence, I had Takashi accompany me.
Takashi is a heroic subject so he agreed to accompany me, I will keep him under control as long as he is still useful, if I get rid of him then I could lose an excellent bait for possible problems since the protagonist attracts problems so I can use him as a meat shield if is that a situation arises beyond my control.
I took one last look at the women instead and showed them a kind smile to indicate that they could trust me. Some of them look emotionally shattered as if they had seen their lovers die so some of the dead students must have been their lovers.
This school is amazing in many ways.
For now, I will gather a group, clean the school to create a base, and then I will take a group in the direction of the elementary school to find some useful protagonist.
The women in a bad emotional state stared at me, it was as if my smile gave them a little life back. Maybe I reminded them of their dead lovers or something.
Stupid hero saving the princess tactic, it's so effective it's ridiculous. Just to be safe later I will seek to speak to each of them to assure her hearts.
After leaving the classroom I went down to the second floor to help group 2. They sealed the door to the classroom which would be an excellent idea if it weren't for a Hunter climbing the wall towards them.
As we were moving towards that group I heard a strange firing sound, it sounded like a compressed air pistol. I've worked with all kinds of tools and that sounds like a nail gun, but it's slightly stronger.
Navi is still keeping an eye on group 2 and I know I have a little time as the Hunter moves slowly so as not to attract the attention of the group and be able to attack them by surprise.
I went to see where the sound was coming from and saw a fat guy with glasses wielding a modified nail gun, his precision is amazing but I can't feel bloodlust so he must have trained in shooting ranges instead of combat real.
He has the potential to be a good sniper which will be useful for my future army. Having experienced personnel is much better than using untrained civilians. Although I favor beautiful women, I am not in a position to waste resources.
"We came to help you!" - I screamed before Takashi could stand out.
I rushed against the infected to kill them. - "Save your ammo!" - The fat man listened to me and prepared to shoot in an emergency, he seems to have a good conscience for combat.
"Takagi!" - Takashi yelled when he saw a girl with pink hair.
Although she is cute, she had not paid attention to her since the fat man's talent seemed more important to me, however when I heard the girl's last name I remembered the note in my wallet.
Saya Takagi, doesn't look bad and she has the potential to become a beautiful woman so her mother should be attractive.
This gives me some ideas, for now, I will pretend that I did not listen to Takashi and then show subtle reactions to Saya's name and thus leave a trail of crumbs for a scenario where I can put Saya and her mother on my side against Souichiro.
The plan may change depending on the personalities of the Takagi family but Saya seems like a spoiled and conceited child so I have some ideas.
I eliminated the strongest infected and let Takashi take care of the rest while I approached the fat man and Saya.
"They are fine? Did they hurt you? " - I said this while looking at Saya with an expression of sincere concern.
"Hmph of course I'm fine! I am a genius after all! " - Saya said with narcissism comparable to Navi as she looked away.
Shit is one of those tsundere, what a bummer. I hope her mother is worth it or I'll die of frustration dealing with a pampered princess.
I smiled kindly and spoke in a warm voice. - "I'm glad you're okay, now we're going to a safe place" - Saya blushed a little but it wasn't a great reaction.
During our interaction, Saya gave a few glances to Takashi who had finished eliminating the infected.
The love drama of this school is absurd, Saya must have some feelings for Takashi which made my act of saving her less shocking, however, my acting helped plant positive feelings in my favor so I only have to take care of Saya to transfer her affection for Takashi towards me, although I will also have to show him that I am not going to take his tsundere shit.
I really hate tsunderers but Saya might be a hero so I must have her. Besides that, her breasts are not bad.
It seems that I will have to act like a dense idiot so that women have to take the initiative towards me since if I start chasing all women it will be a mess out of jealousy.
I have in my favor the fact that a life and death situation makes people willing to be more assertive for fear of dying with regrets. If I put women in dangerous situations while feeding favorable feelings, it will be easier to make them accept that I have a harem.
For now, I took the fat man and the tsundere to the shelter. The Hunter is about to arrive with group 2 so I went with them.
I am not worried about the fat man getting close to women as I can see that when he is not fighting his attitude becomes pathetic and submissive. If a perfect coincidence does not occur that allows him to meet the right woman then he will never have a partner.
I left the pair and led Takashi in the direction of group 2. The hunter will have time to kill a couple of students which will make the survivors more grateful to me, I just have to make sure that the silver-haired, big-breasted girl doesn't die as not only is she beautiful, she also has the potential to become useful.
I think I'll make an eye-catching entrance, even though I feel sick thinking I'm acting like Kenichiā¦ Ah whatever, it's all for the greater good.
