Chapter 660
Shirou: "No! If you go... Anyway, no, Fujino- senpai, please stay in the dorm."
Shirou: "How could I possibly abandon Fujino- senpai?"
Shirou: "No matter what happens, I will never abandon you."
Fujino: "Let's make love. I want to be held by Shirou, I want to be loved by you."
Shirou: "Wait for me to come back. If I return safely, I'll make Fujino- senpai my woman."
Fujino: "Looks like I'm stronger now, Shirou. Have you been lacking exercise lately?"
Shiki: "You know what, Asagami... the zombies we encountered seemed to possess rationality as well."
The zombies seem to be able to distinguish between uninfected humans, differentiating between those who can be assimilated as "comrades" and those who cannot be assimilated as "food."
That's why their actions are divided into two modes: "Tearing humans to pieces and then eating them" and "just biting them to death".
Humans who are eaten are left without even bones, while those who are killed are reborn as zombies, becoming new zombies.
----This naturally involves eating and mating.
Shiro: "The vaccine, the only one Shirou got from the shelter."
"I don't need it. That guy's dead, so he doesn't need it either. He asked me to give it to you before he died."
"!!!!!"
Asagami Fujino's eyes widened as she rolled up her school uniform sleeves—
On that fair, jade-like forearm, there was a clear bite mark, the surrounding skin already decayed and blackened.
That's exactly it.
Ryougi Shiki said calmly, "The one who turned Shirou into a zombie is none other than you, Asagami."
"When exactly... did I...?"
Although she asked the question, Fujino already knew the answer in her heart.
At the beginning.
At the very beginning.
She had already been bitten by a zombie long before they escaped to the dormitory.
Asagami Fujino herself was unwilling to accept this reality and subconsciously tried to escape by using the "self-suggestion" passed down in her family of Miko to erase her memories of this aspect. All the information she received about "being infected" would be distorted.
On the other hand, Shirou witnessed the entire process of Fujino being infected by zombies, but he did not abandon her because of it.
Shirou took Fujino to the dormitory and then began searching for a way to cure the infected.
Because Asagami Fujino has the blood of an exorcist flowing through her body, the virus has difficulty exerting its infectious effect for the time being.
However, Fujino is not completely immune to the virus, and as time goes on, her feelings become increasingly unstable.
Upon learning that a new vaccine had been developed, Shirou was overjoyed and begged Ryougi Shiki to accompany him to the sanctuary to obtain the vaccine.
However, Asagami Fujino took this behavior as betrayal and presumptuously assumed that Shirou had fallen in love with someone else.
On the eve of Shirou's departure from Reien, Fujino, in order to ensure that he would not abandon her, violated him.
The infected girl could, of course, use her strength to subdue the uninfected boy and do whatever she wanted to him.
Was the infection caused by mucosal bleeding during that intense sexual encounter that night?
Or, in other words, does sexual activity between humans and infected individuals inherently lead to inter-individual transmission?
Ryougi Shiki just mentioned, the process by which zombies gain companions is their mating behavior.
Although Shirou was attacked and infected, he did not hate Fujino because of it; instead, his determination to save her deepened.
Later, Shirou successfully obtained the only vaccine.
However, by this time, Shirou's own condition had deteriorated considerably.
He was just an ordinary person after all; it was already a miracle that he could last for three days.
At last--
Shirou chose not to use the vaccine.
He asked Ryougi Shiki to kill him, leaving the vaccine for Fujino who needed it.
"Ugh... what have I done?"
Asagami Fujino collapsed to her knees in despair.
The rupture serum in front of her was a precious vaccine that Shirou had risked his life to obtain for her, and she just casually smashed it.
"Waaah... I killed Shirou, I'm the murderer..."
The girl covered her face, tears streaming down her face, repeatedly apologizing to her deceased lover.
At the same time, the footsteps of Death God were silently approaching.
She has only managed to keep Asagami Fujino from killing the infected person because Shirou vouched for her.
After losing her only chance of recovery, Ryougi Shiki decides to silence her before she turns into a zombie.
If Asagami Fujino a zombie, who knows what kind of extraordinary monster will be born?
Ryougi Shiki walked up to the kneeling girl and slowly drew her sword.
The sunlight fell on my feet.
Like a monster that would turn to dust upon seeing the sun, everything turned to dust.
The inescapable end (World End) has arrived.
My individual approach is definitely not working; I'm simply not good enough for Shirou.
Next time, I'll try the harem route.
Asagami Fujino closed her eyes in her dream.
Volume 9: 409 The Amamiya Residence in a World Where Polygamy is Legalized
--As if she had heard a call, Ryougi Shiki (her former name) opened her eyes.
It was just past 9 p. m.
"I actually fell asleep during the movie... How embarrassing! If Shirou finds out, he'll laugh at me again."
This is the Amamiya Residence's screening room.
The only viewer fell asleep halfway through the film, leaving the projector to silently play the unpopular reel alone.
A horror/suspense film is playing on the screen.
It is a bizarre work that tells the story of a group of students who are besieged by zombies in the mountains, and none of them survive.
Ryougi Shiki (formerly known as Ryougi) watched until the end with an indifferent attitude, while inwardly criticizing the bloody scenes of internal organs and dismemberment as cheap and unrealistic.
As she tried to immerse herself in the movie, she heard someone scream outside.
"..."
Ryougi Shiki (her former surname) frowned, smoothed out the slight wrinkles in her kimono, and slowly rose from the tatami mat.
As soon as she stepped out of the screening room, she was greeted by the sound of a torrential downpour.
The torrential rain has been relentless since last night. According to the weather forecast, this is the worst rainstorm in the history of Fuyuki City, the worst in a century.
After passing through the long corridor, one arrives at the Amamiya Residence's living room.
The people living in this mansion have all gathered there.
The style that just arrived goes without saying.
Like Asagami Fujino Ryougi Shiki, Azaka Kokutou (former surname) are also women in this family.
And there's the family doctor, Touko Aozaki.
And Aoko, a woman who happens to stay at the Amamiya Residence due to the heavy rain.
Finally, there's the male head of the household Shirou Amamiya.
A total of six people were silently watching and restraining each other.
"... I just heard screams, what happened, darling?"
After looking around, she struck up a conversation with her husband and asked him a question.
"..."
Shirou Amamiya sat there, head down, saying nothing.
Fujino, standing beside her husband, answered on his behalf, "Rin has been killed."
I just found her body when I went to her Guest Room.
Rin Tohsaka (former surname).
Like Ryougi Shiki (her former surname) and Asagami Fujino (her former surname), she was one of Shirou Amamiya's wives.
Shi paused for a moment.
What shocked her even more than the death of someone in her family was that the deceased was Rin Tohsaka (her former surname).
She found it hard to imagine that Rin would be murdered.
"You're not kidding, are you?"
"Of course it's true. These days, no one would laugh even if you joked about a murder."
Azaka Kokutou (his old surname) said.
"How did Rin die?" Shiki asked instinctively.
But Fujino hesitated, seemingly unsure how to answer.
At this moment, the family doctor Touko Aozaki, suggested, "Should we all go to the scene again?"
Despite the murder that occurred in her home, she acted as if nothing had happened, a seductive smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Shiki calmly gazed at Touko Aozaki.
She was the only woman who had lived in this mansion for many years but was not her husband's wife.
The husband was disabled due to an accident during his student days.
Calling it a disability is a bit of an exaggeration; it's more of a problem that doesn't significantly affect daily life.
Shirou is no different from an ordinary person in daily life, but he still needs regular treatment and check-ups, Touko Aozaki is in charge of this aspect.
She visits the Amamiya Residence every year, but never stays overnight. This time, however, she had to stay because of the heavy rain.
Although they've known each other for a long time, Shi still doesn't understand this woman very well.
A mysterious and beautiful witch who, despite being at least 40 years old, still looks like she's in her early 20s.
The group accepted Touko Aozaki's suggestion and decided to go to the crime scene together.
Although Shirou didn't want to see his wife's dead state again, he nodded silently.
"Oh dear, oh dear... what an undeserved disaster."
The only unrelated person, Aoko, who was staying at the Amamiya Residence because of the heavy rain, scratched the back of her head helplessly.
