But thanks to that explosion, most of the Zombies had been drawn over by the noise.
The few people hiding in the alley had thus narrowly escaped disaster.
"I-I meant well. How was I supposed to know it would drag Senior into this?"
Tomoya Aki knew he was in the wrong, so he could only admit his mistake.
"Hehe, you're still the same as before—always trying to do good and only making things worse. That's exactly why you got Senior killed!"
"Eriri, are you done yet?!"
Slap~
No one knew whether Eriri's words had provoked Tomoya Aki, but he suddenly bristled and raised his hand to slap Eriri across the face.
"Y-You actually hit me?!"
Eriri was stunned. She had never expected Tomoya Aki to actually dare hit her.
"I..."
Tomoya Aki also knew he had gone too far, but his pride kept him from apologizing to Eriri.
"You two, calm down. That group of Zombies has gone over there, so let's get moving while we can. If they come back, we'll be in trouble!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka was also somewhat dissatisfied with Tomoya Aki's tendency to act tough only around his own people.
But considering that he was her benefactor, Utaha Kasumigaoka still decided to help smooth things over for him.
"Kasumigaoka is right. Let's hurry and leave. It'll be troublesome if those Zombies come back."
Seeing this, Kei Kato, who had remained silent for a long time, also stepped forward to ease the tension.
She had originally held some affection for Tomoya Aki.
But his behavior along the way had disappointed her to the extreme.
Still, for the safety of the group, she ultimately decided to help Tomoya Aki once.
There was no helping it. If they kept deadlocked like this, they might really end up trapped here until
