83. Privatization

Chapter 83

Takagi Estate.

In the past few days since the apocalypse began, people had shown amazing adaptability, and at the evacuation point organized by Takagi Soichiro, an order had already begun to become familiar in the new reality. Ordinary civilians were fully provided for, performing only a small amount of minor work. Those who had the most important skills in areas such as medicine, cooking, and the like, did the appropriate work, while the soldiers were engaged in guarding, clearing the surrounding areas, and also obtaining provisions for the entire camp.

And everyone, perhaps, expected that today would not be an exception. However, in the evening, when everyone was already ready for the successful end of another day in this hell, a huge shadow covered the camp territory. People looked at the sky in horror, feeling that here it was, death, coming for them personally, and the soldiers, as if mad, shot clip after clip into the sky, but all the bullets only bounced off a strange energy barrier.

Just when everyone had finally given up, a huge raven of unusual coloring landed in front of the entrance to the camp.

- Mortals, in this dark hour, when people have forged their own destruction, my lady is ready to lend a helping hand. She does not agree with such an end, so she will give you hope and strength to survive in the new world. - The raven's voice was heard throughout the camp, and then people began to descend from the raven's back along the lowered wing. - Rejoice, for the Princess of Condemnation has taken you under her wing.

As soon as the raven finished speaking, he disappeared in a purple flash, and in his place were 2 huge containers, as well as a group of survivors standing nearby.

People stood like pillars of salt, not knowing what to do. After all, it's not every day that a huge raven appears before you and tells you about a certain lady who took you under her wing.

However, this silence was soon broken, as a woman walked confidently through the crowd of survivors towards the group that had arrived in an unusual manner, followed by a pair of soldiers.

Coming closer to the new arrivals, the woman froze for a moment, and then suddenly ran.

- Saya, I'm so glad you're alive, - the woman rushed to hug Takagi.

"I'm also glad that you're alive, Mom," Saya said, embarrassedly responding to the hug.

"I had given up hope of finding you." The woman stepped back with a warm smile and stroked her daughter's head before turning to the others. "I am Yuriko Takagi, the wife of the owner of the estate. I hope you can explain what is going on here?"

- Yes, but some information should not be generalized, so it is better to discuss it in father's office. - Saya answered.

- Okay. - Yuriko nodded, and then looked at the two containers with a hint. - These containers?

- The blue container contains long-perishable products: various cereals, canned goods, and the like. And the red one contains personal hygiene items, medicines, and clothing. - Takashi answered this time. - There are also some other things, but it's better to talk about them without prying ears.

- You must be Komuro Takashi-kun, right? - the woman recognized the time traveler.

"I'm surprised you remember me," Takashi said, making a welcoming bow.

"I remember when you came to the school ceremony alone and I looked after you, we even have a photo of you and Saya going to first grade in elementary school. You've grown so much since then." These words made Takashi's mother feel embarrassed, because due to her job as a teacher, she didn't have the opportunity to look after her son at that time.

The roof of the neighboring building.

"It looks like everything went smoothly for them," I said, sitting on the edge of the roof while watching the group leave for the mansion with Saya's mother, while the soldiers began unloading the containers, accompanied by the joyful cries of the survivors.

- There was no doubt about that, my lady. However, was it really worth going to so much trouble to pull off the trick of making the containers appear? - Oz asked.

- I think so. The more it looks like a miracle, and a pleasant miracle for them, the better. I even think I heard someone praising the princess of condemnation. - A slight smile graced my face. - By the way, Oz. He played his part well.

"Thank you," the raven accepted the praise before asking the question that interested him. "What do you want to do next?"

- Hmm. I think it's time to finally get down to one of the main tasks for which we came to this world. - I stood up. - Will you fly with me or keep an eye on what's happening here?

- I will stay here, besides, it will be extremely useful if you increase my energy supply so that I can temporarily protect the camp. And the people will be calmer if they can see the physical manifestation of your patronage in my face.

- You want to show off, huh? - I grinned. - You'll get a boost.

Having allowed a fairly substantial portion of my reserves to slip away to fuel Oz, I set off on my journey.

The first thing I decided to go for was electrical equipment. I am sure that there will be no problems with obtaining energy in my world, because magic will definitely be able to provide the required amount of electricity. Therefore, I, not particularly caring about the safety of the store doors, robbed them clean, not paying much attention to what I was taking. Even cash registers did not escape the fate of privatization. Following the electronics store, if there were any in direct sight, clothing and jewelry stores were looted. After all, jewelry and various precious stones with metals will be valued in any world. A similar fate did not pass by grocery stores, although there I already took only the food that would spoil in the near future without proper storage, after all, there are still survivors wandering around the city filled with the dead and it would not be very nice of me to deprive them of a chance to survive. When I had robbed a fairly decent number of shops, I decided to take on replenishing the treasury on a more industrial scale. I decided to take on the culprit of the current situation in this world. America.
