Hayasaka didn't say anything.
Just looking out the window, as if in a daze.
Naturally, Ryota didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone has a secret that they don't want others to touch.
And... he almost guessed it.
After all, he still remembers the classified information that Hayasaka's pair of big breasts are fake, and of course he also remembers other information.
Hayasaka is subject to the Shinomiya faction represented by Shinomiya Oko, and not her own wish to become Kaguya's maid.
When she was seven years old, she was sent by Oko to serve Kaguya and serve as a spy for the other party.
Then, for ten years, she reported Kaguya's affairs to the main house in detail.
Because she had feelings for Kaguya, she almost kept accumulating a heavy sense of guilt when she did this kind of thing.
Later, she would be tormented by guilt every day until she was on the verge of breaking down.
But still smiling and normal in front of Kaguya.
Hayasaka wants to get away from all of this, she wants to quit her job as a waiter, and she wants to live a normal life.
However, her identity meant she couldn't.
Because she has been by Kaguya's side since childhood, many people believe that she not only has a lot of information about Kaguya, but also has many secrets about the future successor of the Shinomiya family.
So she is a sweet potato in some people's eyes.
Under such circumstances, if news of he4 retirement reached the ears of some of the other powerful people in the family, her personal safety would immediately be threatened.
After all, Oko couldn't possibly let her resign, and resigning without permission would be tantamount to betraying his faction. Others have a nominal reason to attack her.
Hayasaka knew very well that once she lost her faction's asylum, she would become a mermaid.
But so what?
She couldn't bear to continue living a life dominated by guilt.
She couldn't stand facing Kaguya every day, wearing a mask and forcing a smile even though she was burdened with a heavy guilt.
So even if she went incognito, she should definitely leave the Shinomiya family!
This is the determination.
(She told me she was taking part in an adventure to live a normal life, and she must be telling the truth.)
Ryota recalled relevant details in the manga, and judged that Hayasaka's earlier words were not disguised words based on some kind of character design.
Currently the girl is not wearing a mask.
As for the words left unsaid, Ryota guessed that they must have something to do with Shinomiya Kaguya.
Ryota turned his head and looked at the girl who was staring out the window in confusion.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Don't worry, your wish will definitely come true."
The sudden words made Hayasaka, who was subconsciously in a heavy mood.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because your partner is me."
"...Oh? Is it self-promotion? Shirou-chan."
Hayasaka suddenly laughed and joked.
Looks like she put on the mask again and recovered the bad girl.
"Just take it as it is."
Ryota also smiled at her, and continued: "Didn't you ask me before if I encountered any supernatural beings? I can tell you clearly that I have met it, and it is at the highest [Rule] level. Even in this predicament, I managed to escape. The problem you're facing, shouldn't be any more difficult than this, right?"
"Of course not." Hayasaka shook her head and asked again, "Is what you said true?"
"It's not good for me to lie to you."
Ryota reassured: "Don't worry, according to my plan, we can get a lot of points. With points, you can keep getting stronger, and slowly stop being subject to other obstacles. Or simply put, you can also directly use points to hire someone to help you solve problems. "
After a pause, Ryota encouraged loudly: "Trust me, you can definitely fulfill your wish with the Adventurer's Guild."
"...Thank you," Hayasaka smiled, "Then I will accept your kind words."
Seeing the girl's bright smiling face, Ryota sighed inwardly.
He didn't know if she was listening or not.
...
In the chat between Ryota and Hayasaka, three hours passed quickly.
The plane landed at Cardiff Airport in Wales.
Fortunately, the airport was not captured by zombies and is still operational.
After getting off the plane, Gary borrowed two cars from the airport through his ID.
Both Ryota and Hayasaka got into the car, and the group rushed towards the WHO research center.
And arrived at the destination half an hour later.
The research center has not been captured, and even the nearby residents are fine.
It's just that everyone lives in their respective homes, and the doors are closed, they should have received an evacuation warning from the government.
Occasionally, there would be a few glares projected towards Ryota and his entourage from the slightly opened curtains.
After passing through the residential area, the research center finally arrived.
The camera in front of the gate captures the crowd.
Gary shows the camera something that can prove his identity as an investigator, and tries to wave at the camera.
5 minutes later.
Maybe the people in the research center put it to good use, and the closed door opened automatically under the electricity.
Everyone is welcome in.
...
"You want a deadly pathogen?" asked a female researcher.
"That's right," Hayasaka said, "And it must be a pathogen with a high lethality, but it won't die immediately, and it can be cured."
She made a request according to what Ryota had described.
After hearing her words, the group of researchers had a discussion.
"The best thing to do is bacteria rather than pathogens."
"What about typhus?"
"And meningitis, scarlet fever?"
"Wait," the female researcher asked Hayasaka, "What do you want this for?"
"A sickness immune to zombies."
The man who answered was Gary.
"...I admire your imagination, Mr. Lane."
The female researcher was a bit speechless, but explained the reason kindly: "You may not know that one of the conditions for the survival of a virus or bacterium is to have a living host and a functioning circulatory system... So we can draw the conclusion that we cannot make zombies are sick because they are dead."
"No, it doesn't make zombies sick." Hayasaka corrected: "This is us."
Using a fluent foreign language, she told everyone that zombies would not attack critically ill and terminally ill patients.
The weakness of being too simple made all researchers surprised and suspicious.
But soon, some smart people found a relevant theoretical basis.
"Active injection for transmitting disease, for camouflage..."
Female researchers slowly recognized this bold idea:
"That is indeed a very tempting proposal. As long as it is implemented properly, it is equivalent to making our soldiers invisible in front of the zombies. But..."
She shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, the samples of pathogens and bacteria are stored in Building B, and Building B is currently..."
With her explanation, Gary and the others understood the situation.
It turns out that after the outbreak of the virus, a researcher tried to isolate the pathogen from blood for research, but unfortunately, he himself became infected in the process and attacked others.
As a result, in less than an hour, 80 people in Building B turned into zombies.
There are 80 zombies roaming there, and you can imagine how hard it is to get a sample.
Just when everyone was confused, Ryota stepped forward: "Leave it to me, tell me the exact location, and which room the sample is in."
