Interaction
"I understood."
One of the clone made that statement in an emotionless voice and began the marching.
"We cannot turn back. Eat or be eaten. That's all."
"Shūhei…"
Minami looked at Okisada behind me as if she were looking at a beast.
"Don’t worry. We have Kazuhiro on the other side. I am sure he will find a way to do something that won't hurt anyone. So we have to stop him."
That said, none of us here could argue with Okisada. Because he was right.
"Well then. First, make a pair however you like. I don't care who it is, because we are going to betray someday anyway.
Okisada laughed and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hei, senpai. Don't look so scared. Let’s enjoy this game."
Before anyone knew it, this place had fallen under Okisada's control.
"I think you’ve been a little over the top."
That was all I could manage to pretend.
"Ha, Are you still saying that? You want to live, right? Then why not just kill the other guy?
I couldn't argue any further.
All of a sudden, an explosion roared from somewhere.
When I looked, there were four clones of the opposing team. Among them there is…
"Risa…"
That's ridiculous. Does that mean Kazuhiro ordered them to attack us?
"What!"
"It's an enemy attack. We were wasting time arguing, so they got the jump on us. Hey, let’s escape for now. When each person has a weapon, fight back. Remember, if you kill one of them, you report it to me."
It was the moment when the leadership of the team was transferred to Okisada.
Okisada then broke through the enemy alone.
I tried to follow him, but there was no way they would let me through so easily, and in no time I was pushed back.
"Well, we have no choice then."
"I can't die yet either."
"Let's go wild!"
"Minami and Ms. Shinjo, please stand back."
The boys and Mr. Nabeshima had mops, knives, forks, and pans in their hands that could be used as weapons. It was fortunate that we were in the cafeteria.
"Wait, everyone!"
"Don't worry, we're not demons either. We just want to hurt them a little."
Shōta seemed to have already made up his mind.
"Okisada is right, but we are following you, Shūhei."
"Eveyone…"
I was moved by Tsutomu’s words.
"But it looks like they're trying to kill us."
Hiroyuki's gaze fell on an unarmed clone. But I still shuddered at the thought of them breaking through the cafeteria wall with their bare hands.
"Anyway, we don't die and we don't kill anyone. For that to happen, we have to stop Okisada as soon as possible. Or else it will really be the hell."
"I'll do whatever it takes to stay alive!"
Shota's encouraging words inspired those present, but I couldn't wholeheartedly agree with him.
