This feeling was as if what was hanging up there wasn't a person, but piles of cash, like a scene where the CEO throws money from upstairs as a year-end bonus, and employees pick it up below.
(fuhai: Throwing money (coins).)
Well, there was no longer any need for stealth, because of this fellow's actions, all the zombies on the playground were attracted.
Facing the zombie attack, those who didn't want to die here could only unleash their inner power and run towards the school bus.
Even though they were moving very fast, some people still fell behind, were dragged in by zombies, and had their necks bitten.
"These guys... you go up first."
It had been a long time since she had seen blood. Although these guys' blood smelled, she felt her body was starting to rust.
Inaba Tsukiyo decided to stay behind and cover their retreat, letting Busujima Saeko clear the way ahead, while Inaba Tsukiyo prevented the zombies from getting too close from behind.
Before she arrived, several more classmates were caught by zombies, only able to let out a scream before being seized and becoming their luxurious lunch.
Inaba Tsukiyo plunged into the horde of zombies, continuously harvesting their lives.
Busujima Saeko, who had sent Marikawa Shizuka onto the school bus, also rushed over and joined Inaba Tsukiyo in harvesting the lives of these zombies.
Even though these zombies could no longer be called human, this unrestrained behavior ignited the bloodlust hidden within Busujima Saeko's heart.
The two stood back-to-back, facing the large number of zombies. They were responsible for attracting the zombies' attention until everyone was on the bus.
Only after everyone had boarded the bus did Inaba Tsukiyo and Busujima Saeko get on.
"Sister Shizuka, hurry! These zombies will be here very soon."
Although they had dealt with the zombies gathered near the school bus, many more were approaching at an extremely fast pace.
"But this kind of car is different from my car. I'm a little worried, Tsukiyo-chan."
Marikawa Shizuka said with some concern, as a school bus and a private car are not the same.
"It's alright, Sister Shizuka. Just drive it the way you usually drive, and it'll be fine."
Although she could also drive, she felt that everyone in the car wouldn't let her touch the steering wheel, so she could only leave the driving to Marikawa Shizuka.
"Students up ahead! We need your help!"
Just as the school bus was about to start, about a hundred meters from the parking lot, a teacher, leading other students, ran desperately towards them.
"Who is that?"
Komuro Takashi looked curiously at the teacher running towards them; he didn't know all the teachers.
"Kouichi Fujitō from Class 3-A."
Busujima Saeko said indifferently. She had seen Kouichi Fujitō before, but that guy was not a good teacher.
Miyamoto Rei, not far away, heard the name and her eyes became very ferocious.
"The car has started! We're leaving now!"
Marikawa Shizuka, who had finally understood the car's structure, started the vehicle and prepared to accelerate.
Just then, Komuro Takashi suddenly spoke, stopping Teacher Marikawa.
"Wait, Teacher Marikawa. There are still people who haven't gotten on."
"But there are already a lot of zombies gathered ahead. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to later."
Teacher Marikawa uncharacteristically objected. She was well aware of what the school bus might face if too many zombies blocked the way.
"Then why don't we just run over all the zombies blocking the road?"
Komuro Takashi said somewhat naively. Having never driven a car, he didn't understand what Teacher Marikawa was worried about.
"Given the size of this car, it can't run over many people at all. If you try to run over these zombies with the car, this car will definitely flip."
"Damn it!"
Just then, Komuro Takashi actually picked up the fire axe he had just found, intending to go down and help.
"What are you trying to do, Komuro Takashi? If you want to leave the school bus to chat with those zombies, I wouldn't mind throwing you out."
Inaba Tsukiyo said coldly as Komuro Takashi was about to get off the bus.
"What do you mean? Are you going to abandon these people? These people are lives, after all!"
"So what? If you can't even protect yourself, what ability do you have to protect others? If you can't even protect yourself well, you still want to save others? Your kindness disgusts me."
Inaba Tsukiyo said, stunned. She had just realized that Komuro Takashi was that kind of overly compassionate guy. She should have known not to bother with such a person.
"Let me tell you, don't think it's still a peaceful society. I don't care what happens to you all. If, because of your mistake, Sister Shizuka and Saeko get even a little hurt, I swear everyone on this bus will die. And their deaths will be because of your ridiculous kindness, Komuro Takashi."
They were not good people, nor were they the Self-Defense Forces or police. The only reason they were protecting Komuro Takashi and the others was because of Teacher Marikawa's request.
Otherwise, why would she care about the lives of Komuro Takashi and the others? She would just get in Teacher Marikawa's car and leave.
Facing Inaba Tsukiyo's terrifying aura, even if Komuro Takashi wanted to save those people, he didn't dare to speak.
He could tell that Inaba Tsukiyo would really kill them. If Teacher Marikawa and Busujima Saeko were truly injured, all of them would die.
However, just as Inaba Tsukiyo told Teacher Marikawa to drive away, Kouichi Fujitō, using the path cleared by Inaba Tsukiyo and Busujima Saeko, quickly made it onto the school bus.
After Kouichi Fujitō got on the bus, seeing his face, Inaba Tsukiyo finally remembered the annoying figure from when Teacher Marikawa had taken her to school that time.
After the other party got on the bus, a thought kept reminding Inaba Tsukiyo:
If this guy isn't eliminated, there will be endless trouble.
