Rei's mother

"Okay. This is the last camp." I said in cheerful voice to entertain everyone but no one seemed to be happy.

We had been travelling many camp but their relatives still didn't find. On our journey, we were rejected by many camp. Although we stood outside, I have my way to confirm everyone's identification inside. Our family were not found and also the people I want to find too. That time was a mess. Those who rejected us are not the worst but who pointed their guns at us. This experience shocked everyone excepting me. Because I know they will do this, just looking at the only vehicle still active in this situation and also the modified parts that I spent 3 days to upgrade. Of course, their greed will surge.

The moment they drew gun, I stomped the accelerator to escape.

"Whop, the sky is going to rain. It's going cold tonight. Have you guys prepared anything?"

"Just go some shop to fetch some rain coat, Jean"

"Okay. Let's be quick."

After that, we entered some abandoned shop to take rain coats for everyone. Having dressed the rain coat, we made the straight way towards the last shelter before going to Shintoko third elementary school. This time, we went without bus, just guns and melee weapons. While the rest will protect the bus.

"The rain is heavy. I suggest we should hurry. The night will become dangerous for us."

"Okay" they simultaneously replied.

"This is near your house right, Takashi and Rei"

"Right. You are here before." Takashi said.

"Yes, that was my mistake. I forgot to check the nearby school here before. Also we didn't meet any zombies at that time so this time, I will take the lead."

"But you don't know this area as well as we do"

"Don't worry, I have my own methods and beside, the victims we encounter may be your former neighbors"

"Are you asking me if we can kill your own families. I think if it came to that, we'd" Takashi refused my suggestion.

"Easily say than done. Family and friends are two different things. You are saying something that you can't be sure yourself."

Takashi and Rei: …

After our conversation were stopped, we moved under my lead.

"Hmm. Zombies." I looked at figure from afar. That figure without doubt is zombie.

"Behind everyone" Rei said.

"They're increasing in number"

"Such a bother." Saeko said.

"Why there are many of them" Takashi asked.

"This is a residential area. They were here the whole time." It was Saya answering that question.

I placed my hands on chin and wondered.

"Why before we didn't any zombie." I muttered.

After thinking for a while, I came up the answer.

"Oh right, they are hiding in their house so it took some time to break the door or window."

"The situation seems to be hard for us. We moved that way" I pointed at the old house.

"That house is old lady Tanaka lived." Takashi shouted.

Under Takashi led, everyone found a new way.

"I will scout ahead." I gave a stop sign for them.

Having receiving their respond, I moved to confirm the situation.

After achieving the information, I returned to the group.

"They are some in the house and 2 at yard. I will kill 2 at the yard. " I drew my sword and charged at 2 zombies silently.

"That's … Mrs Seto." Takashi and Rei said.

Without waiting for them to completely realize, I quickly sent their head flying.

"Move everyone. Just ignore those inside."

When I looked back, I saw Takashi looking down at corpses.

"They are your relative."

"No but you are right. Neither Rei or I could do anything" Takashi said while looking down.

"Good. Seems like you guys become more mature than before." I complimented both of them.

"The road ahead is clear so I think we can move safely but we must be in silence. Luckily for you, the sky is raining so it's hard for zombies to detect us." I jumped over the fences. The water splattered on my face.

Moving quiet under the rain, we walked without meeting any danger.

"We're almost there" Rei exclaimed.

"You bastards." suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Was that my mom." Rei said.

We were moving towards the source.

I can see a lady crushing before barrier piled up with many furniture. And a gun pointed at her. From the look, I assumped it's a shotgun.

"Mom" that woman turned back.

"Rei… Takashi too."

"What's going on here, mom? What happened to our emotional reunion?"

"We were getting along really well at first but everthing went down after we lost power. They let some weird person on earlier and now it seems like they're all united against me."

"Neighbors my ass"

'I think some thing like you. It will be a pain in my ass if I receive this kind of attitude.'

"Survival become more hard now. Do you have any ideas?"

"The afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the SDF is initiating some kind of evacuation from Shintoko Third Elementary. That will be our last chance at evacuation."

After hearing this, Rei's mom shouted out loud.

"2 days from now, the SDF is evacuating people from Shintoko Third Elementary. We are heading that way if anyone wants to, you're free to come with us."

"You're lying. I don't trust you."

"Excuse me. I'm the son of the Komuro family. It's true. There is not much time so we're leaving now. This is your last chance."

No reply, they chose to silence.

"Let's go guys, we have already warning them. If they don't come, it's their lose." I hurried them. Since finding Rei's mother, I decided to return the bus.

"They are coming." Kohta said.

"Same clothes before. Old groups"

"Oh right, Rei's mother. Do this person familiar with you?" I gave her a picture that I drew.

"This picture is too ugly but I can recognize the person you want." she threw those harassed word at my picture. I felt my hear was pierced with two knifes.

"Indeed, this is a stranger that I talked before. Because of this person, my neighbors against me now. How annoying"

After hearing her comment, I felt no happy right now.

Although the picture is crude, it's enough to describe the person's appearance.

The person I drew in picture. Without doubt, it's Shido sensei.

"It's good to hear you still alive" I smiled but in terrifying way.
