Volume 1 - CH 3(2/2)
Erika suddenly ran off with her psychedelic human parasol. She ran toward the edge of the square rooftop and then leaned over it.
“B-bghhh!!”
“Wahh!! You idiot, why are you spewing that stuff onto the world below!? You’re turning into a scarlet bomber!!”
“U-ugh.. It saddens me that you don’t understand that I wanted to preserve my pride by not doing that in front of you.”
Below the human parasol, my sister lamented while bending over and sticking her shapely butt out toward me.
“Besides, you’ll make fun of me if I don’t go this far. Bhh.”
“Eh?”
“At the conveyor belt sushi place, at the buffet, and at the all-you-can-eat cake place, you always look so happy feeding more and more to Ayumi-chan who can keep eating forever. ..And you just said I eat tiny lunches.”
“Were you hoping to match that crazy meat-eater when it comes to food!? No one wants that from a clean and kind older sister!!”
Was she like the greatest pro baseball player or something? It was hard to find things she?couldn’t?do, so did she want to go for anything she could do to score more points!?
“(User, user.)”
Then an index finger poked at my shoulder from the side.
When I looked over, the Swimsuit Class Rep leaned in and whispered to me.
“(Miss Erika is leaning out over the rooftop railing and she is not looking this way. Isn’t this your chance?)”
“?”
I was confused, so Maxwell felt the need to say it.
“(I’m telling you to go for that butt with both hands! Won’t she fall?)”
............................................................................................................
“N-no, that sounds like a bad idea. I’d be done for if it failed! When she gets mad, she crushes walnuts in her hands with a smile on her face!”
“Is that so?”
“Besides, we haven’t even taken statistics on whether a vampire would die from being pushed off a roof.”
“Then to provide support for such an indecisive user, I would like to assist you. Take this!”
“Wait, what, Maxweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!?”
In physics class, there was an experiment to demonstrate the propagation of forces where multiple metal balls were lined up and clacked together like pendulums. That experiment flashed through my mind.
In other words, the Swimsuit Class Rep gave a shove to my back and my hands grabbed..or rather, pushed on my older sister’s large butt through her dress.
“Ah.”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?
She utterly vanished.
The dome-shaped human parasol was dragged down with her.
My mind seriously went blank and I frantically leaned out. What floor was this? Was there concrete or asphalt below? This was a disaster either way!!
Or so I thought.
“Satooori-kuuun?”
“Hyaaaaaaaaah!? She’s clinging to the wall..to the vertical wall!?”
“Vampires have a grip strength ten to twenty times greater than a human’s, so bouldering is a cakewalk☆ More importantly, you didn’t think anything about my butt being big, did you?”
“Oh, no! I’ve never seen her anger gauge this full! Is the concrete wall creaking!?”
The 3D jigsaw puzzle dome of the human parasol was fine. They all climbed up the wall like they were going for a world record in group gymnastics.
The queen spoke with a smile.
“Satori-kun, try to guess how angry I am?”
“P-pun-pun?”
“Oh, c’mon. This is more of a biki-baki.”
“Isn’t that the sound of bulging veins from a martial arts or delinquent manga!?”
“So I’m hoping you can put me back in a good mood. Are you ready?”
“Wh-what?”
I flinched.
My gothic Lolita dress sister bent her hips and her face moved in toward me while she kept her arms behind her back.
A sweet aroma..no, that rusty smell floated toward me.
“I was holding back in the real world, but this is a virtual world, right? So don’t you think we can go for a nice, sweeeet kiss followed by a delightful bite? Right, right? Aren’t you listening? I did it because I had to, but I’m a little sick of sucking the blood of people I don’t even like. I can’t stand the taste of cigarettes, alcohol, perfume, or grease. It’s awful. But you, Satori-kun? You’re perfect☆”
“I had a feeling this was coming!! With the zombies gone, it had to shift to a vampire fever, didn’t it!? This isn’t the peace I wanted!!!!!!”
“Eh heh heh. Give up and let your Onee-chan have her way with you☆”
Her slender arms embraced me from the front. And her large breasts bumped into me. As she rubbed her cheek against me, I was paralyzed like jolts of electricity were racing through my body.
“Eri-..time out! C’mon, I said time out! This is really a bad idea!!”
“Heh heh. You say that, but I can feel your heart pounding. You can’t hide the movement of your blood.”
I heard a wet sound from my neck.
But it wasn’t her fangs.
Is that her lips? It’s just the sweet sensation of her ski-..wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!!
That was when I saw something unpleasant over her shoulder.
“M-Maxwell! Stop just coldly watching it happen with the Class Rep’s face!!”
“I was doing nothing of the sort. I had nothing to do and entered standby mode. If you have any orders, please give them.”
Eeek!! What is this guilty feeling!?
And is Erika getting even more heated up with me in her arms!?
“Yes, yes. I can feel Satori-kun’s carotid artery just on the other side of this skin. I can feel the hot blood..the gathering of youth.. Heh heh. Eh heh heh. Pant, pant. What do I do? I only meant this as a joke, but now my heart is pounding so much I’m not sure I can hold ba-..oh, dear.”
Erika suddenly came back to her senses and pulled back a bit.
A moment later.
“Now!!”
It started with a high-pitched shout.
I looked back just in time to see something jumping over from another building.
“What! Do! You! Think! You’re! Doing! Onii-chaaaaaan!?”
“What? I’m-..bfoh!?”
I don’t know if she messed up or if it was intentional, but something suddenly filled my vision.
What was it, you ask?
Is this soft sensation Ayumi’s crotch..aghrbr————
The shock was so great that my user seemed to lose consciousness, so I, Maxwell, shall fill in the gap for him as an emergency measure.
Miss Amatsu Ayumi was a short, slender, and cute girl with her long black hair in twintails with the ends curled. She jumped in from a different building with her legs and spread landed with her thighs around my user’s head as if for a backwards piggy-back ride. Then the two of them spun vertically. After enjoying the bliss of shoving his face in his younger stepsister’s crotch, the two of them and the collapsible bicycle he held dove right over the railing and off the building.
“Oh, how bold. I’m so jealous of their youth.”
“As a more fundamental problem, I find it odd that my user’s neck did not break. Is that also due to his youth?”
Maxwell, signing off.
——————glmlnmvryuh..what is this floating sensation?
We had apparently hopped right off of the rooftop.
My head was finally freed from Ayumi’s extremely healthy (even though she was a zombie) thighs.
But she still grabbed my collar with one hand in midair.
I did not even have time to fear the fall. We spun around some more, completely messing with my inner ear, and my back collided with something soft on the ground several floors below.
We had landed on the corpse of the elephant that Erika’s vampires had killed.
I was lying on my back and Ayumi was straddling me.
She was puffing her cheeks out.
“Fuguu!!”
“Ayumi, a good first step would be using human language.”
“You were making fun of me, weren’t you!? You thought a zombie like me couldn’t beat a vampire like Onee-chan, didn’t you!? You thought I was only a half-rotten mid-boss, didn’t you!?”
“You’re overthinking this.”
“You’re always staring at Onee-chan’s boobs! But you walk right past me even when I just got out of the bath!!”
“Well, there’s a bit of a difference between you and-..ow!!”
“Then what about the Class Rep!?”
“Don’t be silly! Why can’t you tell that hers may be small, but they have a rare ability to make their glorious presence known!?”
“You don’t..you don’t think anything of me, do you? Fuguu!!”
“I give, I give!! Ayumi, you’re really overthinking this. I’m not thinking any of the things you’re so worried about. In fact, I have no idea what’s going on in your head.”
“Really? I’m pretty sure I heard some irritating things in there.”
“Really. For one thing, I’m far too worried about the Class Rep (finding out about all this and killing me) to even think about you-..oborgergorch!!”
“..!!!???”
She shook my collar back and forth while straddling me and I nearly vomited.
Then our older sister looked elegantly down at us from the top of the building.
“Ayumi-chaaan.”
“Onee-chan!!”
“Have you used up all your precious trump cards? If you have another plan, I would recommend using it sooner rather than later☆ After all..”
Still protected by her human parasol, the queen pointed straight up with her slender index finger.
“The sun is going down and evening is arriving. It will be nighttime before long now.”
“Grr, grr!!”
“And Satori-kun, you’re acting an awful lot like none of this matters to you.”
“Well, it doesn’t reall-..ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!!”
Ayumi tugged on my ear and our queen of a sister continued smiling.
“Are you sure you should be saying that? I believe I just gained a trump card against you.”
“?”
“This. Girl.”
She moved her raised hand to the side and her alluring fingertips traced across a slender chin before pulling it toward her.
“..Class Rep.”
“I won’t bite her right away.” Erika gave a melting smile. “If I did, we wouldn’t have anything to fight over. Right, Satori-kun?”
“!!”
I could see how this was set up.
The zombie side had my little sister Ayumi and me.
The vampire side had my older sister Erika and the Class Rep.
All the important pieces had been placed in the two camps and Erika was telling us to fight over them.
“You can’t, Onii-chan..” said Ayumi as she also looked up at the roof.
Still straddling me, she grabbed my collar with both hands.
“I can’t let her have you here, Onii-chan! So I won’t let you do anything rash!!”
She swung me around with tremendous strength.
I was pulled up as she hopped to her feet and we ran off through the bloody street before I even had a chance to board the collapsible bike in my hand. Or rather, she dragged me through the bloody street.
There were corpses everywhere and some might have been zombies that would get up and grab at our ankles, but we had no time to worry about that.
Something far worse was coming.
We had turned our back on the vampire queen.
“Hee hee.”
Our older sister did not bother to give chase.
It was probably a way to show her confidence, but even with her human parasol, it was an away game for her in the sun.
Time was on her side.
Night was arriving too soon for us to put together any kind of plan. The stage would soon belong to Erika alone.
“Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee hee.”
“Fuguu..!!”
There was no scorn in her laughter. It was more like the warm affection of viewing a family member’s growth, but that stabbed into my little sister’s back all the more.
Ayumi bit her lip to bear with it as we escaped the shopping district together.
What could we do against a monster like that?
Was there any way to rescue the Class Rep now that she was in Erika’s grasp?
Originally, Zombie Powder refers to a new virus discovered in the Caribbean. It mostly infects livestock.
It spreads orally.
However, it is resides in gelatin matter, especially tendons, rather than flesh and blood and the infection mainly spreads when the carrier consumes the living tissue of a healthy subject.
It is extremely weak to the open air, so the virus is quickly exterminated when directly floating in the atmosphere or even when the blood or saliva is exposed to the air as spray. As such, the risk of infection is nearly zero unless the carrier bites deep enough to reach the tendons.
At this point, the virulence to humans is weak and in many cases there are no symptoms at all. The virus cannot be entirely exterminated, but it will live in a state of coexistence for the rest of their life and causes no apparent problems in their day to day life.
The Acute strain was artificially created by transforming the Zombie Powder virus with a few different chemicals.
The fact that one of those chemicals has long been used in Haiti is of especial symbolic interest, but that is straying from the topic at hand and will be set aside for now.
As the Acute name suggests, it is extremely virulent and has a nearly 100% chance of causing symptoms in both infected livestock and infected humans. In fact, a cellular change has even been seen in some plants which should not even have animal gelatin matter. That should likely be classified as an infection as well.
The symptoms include an extreme sense of starvation, slowed blood flow, and the vitality to continue moving even after the heart has been crushed. Most likely, the oxygen and nutrients transported by the blood are being transported in some other way to preserve brain function even when the other organs have failed, but it is still unknown what medium is used.
Also, they have no community queen like vampires do, but there are some rare individuals who maintain a high level of intelligence and sense of self even after infection.
This new request for additional funding is absolutely necessary to pierce this darkness with the scalpel.
As mentioned in the message the other day, a look at the geographic conditions suggests Kukyou City is an eligible candidate.
The term penal colony may bring to mind a remote island, but many of them existed inland as well. Kukyou City’s predecessor was one. While it looks like a picturesque land surrounded by the sea and mountains, it can actually be made into an isolated land just by blockading a few highways and railroad tracks.
And for our purposes, simply isolating it is not enough. If it were, we could simply use the South Pole or a desert.
Isolation is nothing more than a last resort and safety measure.
Given our purpose, it must have a certain level of population density and a high level of society. These conditions must be seen as the higher priority.
The land must have a certain level of economic activity while also allowing for a suppression plan divided into multiple levels in case the unexpected occurs.
With that in mind, Kukyou City is the best candidate in Japan if not the entire world.
It is of course necessary to lay some groundwork in the city council, the police, the firefighters, etc., but Kukyou City strikes an excellent balance even there. It falls into the framework of a National Reinforced Planning Zone, so whoever controls the money that comes with strings attached can take almost complete control of the city.
Local government treasuries are always in dire straits.
Of course, that’s partially because we’ve set things up to make our move easier.
As long as we have everyone’s approval, we are ready to begin the task at any time.
Let our good hearts guide us to benevolent action.
