Chapter 655

Ryougi Shiki opened her phone upon hearing this, and sure enough, it was just as Shirou had said.

"I understand, Miss Shi, I'll head back to my team now."

Ryougi Family's butler and driver, Akitaka, replied in a text message.

"Are you kidding me...?"

Ryougi Shiki gritted her teeth in anger, looked at Shirou, and saw him wearing a victorious smile.

"This is your punishment for sleeping soundly while everyone else is working... Will the style remain too?"

"... Okay, I know, I just can't do anything with you."

Ryougi Shiki snorted, "You can't sleep without two women with you, you damn harem brat?"

"Very good."

Shirou tidied the table, then dragged Ryougi Shiki to the sink outside to wash the dishes.

Asagami Fujino stayed alone in the room, watching the TV program with a bored expression.

Just then, she noticed a box in the corner.

"I remember Miss Touko organized that..."

Asagami Fujino walked over and noticed that the box had a moving company's seal on it.

"... Did you forget to take it?"

Now that this office has reopened, let's decorate it with all the old things.

Thinking this, the girl used a utility knife to cut open the box.

Among the various Magecraft props piled up haphazardly, she spotted the old film projector at a glance.

Asagami Fujino took out the projector and spoke to Shirou and Ryougi Shiki, who had just returned from washing the dishes.

"Hey, Shirou, Shiki-san, how about we watch a movie next?"

"A movie? I want to see it!"

"Well, it's alright for killing time before bed."

"You're so blunt, Shiki, but that's kind of cute too."

"Stop talking nonsense and shut up."

Ryougi Shiki turned her head away unhappily.

The three of them surprisingly agreed on something.

It's a rare occasion for the three of us to spend the night away from home, so it would be a shame not to do something about it.

Shirou hung the screen on the wall, while Fujino set up the film projector at the other end of the room.

At times like these, we should thank Touko Aozaki for her foresight.

Because what they bought was an entire building, with entire floors of offices, large enough to even be used for showing movies.

"Hehe, it feels like a school trip," Fujino said happily.

After everything was done, the three of them sat down on the long sofa.

Shirou sat in the middle.

Asagami Fujino sat to his left, maintaining a delicate distance of about a fist's width between them, shoulder to shoulder.

Ryougi Shiki deliberately kept a considerable distance from the two, sinking her body into the soft leather and resting her arms on the sofa armrests to support her cheeks.

In the pitch-black office, an old projector creaked and groaned as it shone white light onto the screen.

Volume 9: Chapter 407 Fujino: My sexual repression will exceed your imagination

A month ago, human civilization ended without warning or reason.

It started as a short news report broadcast during the evening news, announcing a small-scale outbreak of a new type of plague in an Africa country.

Soon after, the pandemic spread rapidly across the globe, and the modern society that humanity had spent thousands of years building seemed to collapse easily overnight.

Private Reien Girls' Academy.

This long-established, fully boarding Catholic school is an aristocratic girls' college completely isolated from secular life and trends, much like a sterile ward.

Located in the mountains far from the city, the site is mostly covered by dense forests.

Admission is based on a direct admission system without entrance exams, and the school building is divided into junior high school and senior high school sections.

With nearly 600 girls living here, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a modern convent. The uniforms, designed based on Nun' clothes, are widely praised in society.

In this prestigious academy for young ladies, which resembles an isolated island on land, very few people remain alive today.

The story begins a few days ago, on a morning when...

In the Reien, where communication with the outside world was impossible, the Nun were responsible for relaying messages from the outside world, and at the time, Nun didn't take them seriously.

The change occurred two days later.

That morning, several people from outside the school climbed over the school gate and broke in.

The Nun who went to warn them never returned, the school gates were opened, and outsiders began to invade the high school section.

Perhaps from that time onward, the curtain fell on the 60-year-old Reien Girls' Academy.

In short, the outsiders who broke into the school were all infected with the new type of plague.

This disease robs a person of their personality, stops the metabolism caused by breathing, leads to heart failure, and causes the body, which has stopped circulating blood, to decay—a terminal illness.

What's even more frightening is that this disease allows infected individuals to remain active even after death.

They drag their rotting bodies around, either using some unknown sense to find uninfected humans and tear them to pieces, or spreading the virus through saliva by biting each other.

In horror movie terms, they are living Living dead, also known as zombies.

Shirou only learned afterward that news reports about "new type of infected persons" had appeared about six months earlier.

He only learned just eight days ago how dangerous the infected people were.

This is only natural.

This is generally the case with these types of disasters; by the time people realize something is seriously wrong, it's already too late.

In less than half a day, all the sheltered young ladies of the Reien Girls' Academy had turned into moving, rotting corpses.

It was purely by chance that Shirou Amamiya ended up in this place.

That night, he secretly sneaked into Reien to see his girlfriend, whom he hadn't seen for over a month.

Shirou's lover, who is four years older than him, is named Asagami Fujino.

That was a beauty that Shirou considered a waste of her talent.

She has exquisite features, elegant manners, a gentle and virtuous personality, and a voluptuous figure that even her conservative Nun- style uniform cannot hide.

Shirou still finds it incredible that someone like Fujino- senpai could be his girlfriend.

Asagami Fujino attends Reien Girls' Academy High School and belongs to the Horror Film Research Club (which has only one member).

Originally, the Reien Girls' Academy, which values tradition and good manners, should not have allowed the existence of Horror Film Research Club.

However, Asagami Fujino's father was the chairman of a large corporation. He not only provided substantial donations to Reien, but was also the honorary chairman of the Asagami Girls' Academy. He was a very influential figure in the Japan education sector.

Asagami Fujino was a member of the privileged class in Reien, and even the Nun turned a blind eye to her behavior.

Is it fortunate or unfortunate?

The night before the incident, Shirou and Fujino stayed in the clubroom watching zombie movies all night. They took a short nap after dawn, which is why they survived the first wave of infection.

By the time they came to their senses, the teaching building was covered with the blood and flesh of female students who had been gnawed into a mess.

The entire high school section was wiped out, and the infected students headed towards the junior high section.

Shirou immediately suggested rescuing the junior high students, so they sneaked into the junior high school together. After witnessing the hopeless situation, they fled in panic to the girls' dormitory.

As a result, they unexpectedly met up with another survivor from the high school.

Unlike Shirou and Fujino, who happened to escape, the survivor managed to escape even after encountering a horde of zombies.

One of the most troubled girls at the Reien Women's Academy —her name is Ryougi Shiki.

Late at night.

Shirou and Fujino held hands and ran and fled through the forest behind the school.

Behind them, several zombies were chasing them frantically.

The girls' dormitory is now in sight.

As long as they can get there, they will be able to obtain sufficient food and water.

However, the distance between them and the zombies is constantly shrinking.

The menacing footsteps grew ever closer.

If this continues, they'll be caught by zombies before they even reach their dormitory.

"?"

Fujino's clenched hand was released.

She looked back and saw that Shirou had stopped running and was standing still.

"Shirou?"

"I'll leave this to you, Fujino- senpai, hurry back to the dorm!"

With his back to her, Shirou gripped the fire axe he had found in the school building tightly in both hands and shouted in a trembling voice.

Fujino's eyes widened. "Huh, but..."

"At this rate, neither of us will escape, so I'll buy some time!"

"..."

After a brief silence, Asagami Fujino bit her lip.

She noticed that Shirou's legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Despite being terrified himself, Shirou mustered his courage and stepped forward to protect himself in a life-or-death situation.

How could I possibly abandon you and run away...?

But as Shirou said, if things continue like this, no one will be able to escape.

"Fujino- senpai? Forget about me, run!"

Shirou raised his fire axe and faced the zombie.

The boy cleaved the head of the first zombie in half with an axe, but failed to kill it completely, as new zombies pounced on it.

He can only last another five seconds at most; that's pretty much Shirou's limit.

"..."

Asagami Fujino actually has a secret that she has never told even her lover.

If it were now, she could twist all those zombies into a pretzel.

But if I did that, my secret would be exposed to the person I least want him to know...

Is now the time to be agonizing over this kind of thing?

Asagami Fujino felt ashamed of her momentary hesitation.

Shirou's life is far more important than his secret.

If we can save him, even if we're treated like a monster afterwards...

"Shirou!"

Asagami Fujino made up her mind and poured power into the eyeballs.
