"Are you crazy?" Takashi asked angrily.
But Rei was angrier, she glared at him by pushing his chest roughly.
"You're the one who's crazy, Takashi! You killed Hisashi without hesitation!"
"I-I did it because he turned into one of them! I didn't want him to hurt you, so I didn't hesitate to hit him hard."
Takashi stammered.
Rei sneered, "Heh, who knew you also did it because you hate him. You were jealous of Hisashi dating me, that's why you didn't hesitate to kill him!"
In this situation, a girl like her would not believe anything Takashi said.
She could only blame him for everything that had happened.
Unfortunately, unlike Hisashi, Takashi was not so patient.
*SLAP!*
He slapped the girl in front of him across the face.
Rei widened her eyes, she held her stinging cheek with a look of disbelief.
"You slapped me, Takashi?"
"Yes, that's fair. Whether you believe me or not, I'll leave this place."
With a cold expression, the protagonist turned around and walked towards the stairs.
Rei panicked, "Y-You can't leave me! I'm sorry, I just... Takashi!"
She hurriedly chased after Takashi and was willing to apologize for her impulsive actions earlier.
She didn't want to be left alone on the rooftop and lick her own saliva about him not joining the group.
Back then, she could not help but believe that she killed Hisashi because he was too worried about her.
She was moved.
In an unseen corner, Takashi had a sly smile on his face.
He was obviously pleased to have successfully fooled Rei. In fact, he really did kill Hisashi out of personal spite.
And in this world that was starting to become chaotic, this was an opportunity for him.
He did not have to worry about being arrested by the police after killing someone who became a zombie.
It was legitimate self-defense.
From now on, Rei would only belong to him. But he would pretend to be cold and make her keep sucking up to him, he also hated her a little for dating another man.
[Haha, I almost forgot.]
Shiryu suddenly updated the contents of his diary.
While walking behind Takashi, Rei read it curiously.
[Just like in the original work, has protagonist Takashi killed Rei's boyfriend, Hisashi?]
[If that were the case, Rei would probably be fooled into believing that he killed Hisashi because he turned into a zombie and was worried that he would hurt her.]
[Rei was suspicious at first, but she chose to trust Takashi after being slapped by him and even felt moved by his actions.]
[The protagonist's halo was quite scary.]
[In a desperate situation, any woman including a heroine like Rei can't help being mesmerized by him.]
[In the past few months, Rei hated him a little because he didn't comfort her after finding out she was repeating a class, he was just happy and thought she was doing it for him.]
[Isn't Takashi too narcissistic?]
[However, just like in the original work, Rei quickly got over her dissatisfaction with Takashi after he killed her boyfriend.]
[She even starts to like him more and wants to date him. The heroines have amazing brain circuits.]
Is that sarcasm?
Hey Shiryu, you're mocking us, right!?
Rei was stunned, she looked at her childhood friend's back with a blank stare.
Really? Takashi had fooled her and was only pretending, he was obviously happy to have killed Hisashi.
For the first time, she felt that the boy she had known since childhood seemed strange to her.
Still, what should she do?
She was too scared to part with Takashi as she dared not fight the zombies at school alone.
Back again to Saeko's side.
"Should we warn Rei-san about Komuro-kun?" Shizuka asked curiously.
She knew Rei, but her relationship with her was not as good as the relationship between her and Saeko. She was just a little worried.
After cutting off a few more zombie heads, Saeko answered without turning around. "No need, since she's the heroine, she must have a copy of Shiryu's diary. If she has a good head, she should know how to choose."
"That's a bit harsh, but it makes sense~!"
Shizuka immediately gave up on looking for Rei.
Saeko shook her head, she continued her footsteps.
Just like Shizuka, Yuko followed her from behind.
She wondered if she should help Saeko to kill the zombies?
With her abilities, it was possible. But there was a problem with her identity. By doing so, she would show another side of herself.
However, in the world that was now becoming like this. Does that matter?
'Let's wait. If the situation gets worse, I'll intervene.'
Before long, they finally saw three people approaching from opposite directions.
"Sou-kun!"
Shizuka waved her hand.
"Shizuka-sensei, Saeko-senpai and... Yuko-sensei. Nice to see you guys here." Putting the other two women aside, Shiryu also knew Yuko who was one of the nurses at school.
Still, looking at her now...
He had to admit that she was very sexy and no less big than Shizuka.
"Ara, do you like what you see, Shiryu-kun?" Yuko smiled and teased him.
She realized where his gaze was directed.
Just like him, she knew him and had even been investigating him since she got a copy of his diary.
Still, she was not bothered by what he was doing.
She was used to it, any man she met definitely could not resist glancing at her figure many times especially her breasts.
'Even so, is this the reward Shiryu got from his diary? His body is really experiencing tremendous growth right now.'
'I wonder if he minds if I want to research his body?'
Shiryu pretended to cough.
Although Yuko smiled kindly at him, her gaze momentarily made him shudder.
"Shizuka, Yuko, are you two okay? Thankfully." Kyoko was certainly happy to see her two coworkers doing well.
"Umm... Hello, I'm Yukana Yame, I've heard a lot about you, Saeko-senpai."
Yukana introduced herself to the purple-haired girl in front of her.
Saeko nodded, "Yukana-san, you decided to join Shiryu-kun's group?"
"Yes!"
As for her parents? Yukana wasn't worried because as Shiryu's diary said last night.
They would be fine to some extent.
She decided to help Shiryu to solve this disaster before a year.
The more people who helped him the better, right?
Without caring about the other women who were talking to each other.
Shiryu immediately took out his diary and started writing.
[I finally reunited with Saeko and the others. But not only them, there's also Yuko-sensei.]
[Most people only know she's a nurse working part-time at Tokyo Metropolitan Academy and her official job is a doctor at a certain hospital.]
[But I know her hidden identity!]
Hidden identity?
Except for Kyoko, Saeko and the other women in the place couldn't help glancing at Yuko.
Yuko was still smiling.
Oh? I wonder how much you know about me, Shiryu-kun.
[She is an assassin and a core member of the Black Label organization, a vigilante group that "dissects" or eliminates the "cancer" of society (criminals that the law cannot touch). For example, someone like Shido, I wonder why he's still alive and not killed by her organization.]
You really know.
Yuko was a little surprised.
But quickly calmed down. After all, Shiryu seemed to know a lot about every heroine's background.
Herself was no exception.
She's a heroine of a certain franchise.
As for why she hasn't killed Shido yet? Sorry, she really didn't know what criminal act he committed before Shiryu wrote it down in his diary not long ago.
From the start, she had never even paid attention to a minor character like him. Otherwise, she would have killed him with her own hands.
Shido didn't know being beaten unconscious by Shiryu was better than him dying at Yuko's hands.
Still, the people who were most surprised were the other three people who had copies of the diary in that place.
They did not expect Yuko to have such a hidden identity.
She's an assassin of an organization!?
[But put that aside. When she uses her identity as an assassin, her hair turns white. She becomes more beautiful and sexy!]
[I envy her future husband. Wait, I remember Yuko is single. Does that mean I have a chance?]
The heroines: "....."
Not long ago, you said more or less the same thing about Saeko.
Shiryu, you're an unfaithful man!
Saeko's lips twitched, she wanted to pull on the ear of the boy beside her. But in the end, she didn't.
Yuko widened her eyes.
Boy, you teased me in your diary even though I was standing right in front of you.
Aren't you embarrassed?
She wanted to tease him back.
"Shiryu-kun, get excited. You might have a chance." Under everyone's gaze, she placed one of her hands on Shiryu's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
Because her breasts are too big. Ehem! She pressed his chest with it.
Shiryu gasped, he almost dropped his diary and glanced at the beautiful face that was so close to him.
There was also a fragrant shoulder tickling his nose.
"Really? I'll work hard."
"Fufu, you're an honest boy and not shy. Not bad."
"So, are you also going to join my group, Yuko-sensei?"
"Sorry, I have other business to do at the hospital."
Shiryu was a little disappointed.
But thinking of her hidden identity and organization, it made sense.
Seeing the two talking from such a close distance, the women who witnessed it felt uncomfortable.
Especially Yukana, she was clearly jealous.
Just then, the roar of the zombies was fortunately heard from the other side of the corridor.
Shiryu reluctantly moved away from Yuko. With Saeko and Yukana, they started killing the zombies again.
For now, he led everyone out of the school and towards the parking lot.
There, he had parked his car. An SUV that had been modified to look like a military vehicle.
However, when they got there. They see Shido who has a swollen face like a pig and the crowd around. The protagonist Takashi, and Rei were even among them.
"This car is good to drive and safer, smash the glass and start it manually!"
Shido acted as the leader of the group, the male students did not hesitate to obey his orders.
Some of them including Takashi tried to break the glass of Shiryu's car but it was in vain.
"The glass is too strong!"
"Damn, it's probably bulletproof glass!"
"Who brings a car like this to school?"
Hearing that the car he wanted couldn't be broken into, Shido's face became grim. Today was the most unlucky day of his life.
Not only did a boy (Shiryu) slap him across the face until he passed out. When he woke up, he found the world had changed.
At school, there were many students and teachers who had become zombies.
To get here, he had to fool the students into becoming his shield under the pretext of running away together.
"Bunch of thieves, get away from my car."
Suddenly, the familiar voice distracted the group. Shido turned around only to see the boy who had given him an insult.
"Shiryu...!"
He shouted his name in anger while holding one side of his swollen face.
Still, when looking at the women around the boy, he and the other male students couldn't help but be mesmerized.
In this situation, Shido could even still get aroused and his evil brain thought of a plan.
"Yo, Shido. Your face looks like a pig. By the way, we're in a hurry. You and your group should quickly get out of my car."
"If not..."
"If not what? We're fellow students, shouldn't we help each other in this situation?" Protagonist Takashi stepped forward.
Although Shiryu's thug-like figure intimidated him, he took courage and gripped his baseball bat tightly.
He did not notice the strange look Rei gave the boy in front of him.
"What Takashi said is right." Shido hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Takashi's shoulder, he suddenly gave Shiryu a friendly smile. "Shiryu, let's put aside the conflict between us and help each other?"
"Help each other? Don't tell me you want me to take you all away from here in my car?"
Shido looked at the villain and protagonist standing side by side with an amused look.
"Y-Yes, we also want to go with you. Of course, we know your car won't fit everyone. So at least take me and a few students in my group with you first. After that, I'll ask the police for help in rescuing the remaining students in the school."
The students in his group complained.
They didn't want to be left out of school.
But what Shido said was quite reasonable.
Saeko, Yukana, Kyoko and Yuko frowned.
Shido was obviously playing cunning, he only wanted to save himself.
Shiryu couldn't be fooled and let him join his group, right?
"I understand but Shido... You think I'm stupid? I refused. How could I let a wolf in sheep's clothing join my pack of beautiful women?"
He put his arm around Saeko and Yukana's waist as if to provoke Shido and his group.
Saeko and Yukana did not resist his touch.
Hm... He probably still underestimated his charm after becoming Captain America.
That's a good thing.
The boys in Shido's group couldn't help but stare at Shiryu with envy.
They certainly knew the two girls he was embracing.
One was the number one hottest girl in school, and the other was the popular blonde Gyaru from first year.
Protagonist Takashi was not happy, he felt uncomfortable seeing Shiryu touch Saeko intimately.
It felt like something that should belong to him had been taken away from him.
Shiryu noticed Takashi's ugly expression and laughed in his heart. From his vantage point, he could see a transparent green hat on top of his head.
Sooner or later, he would make him have more than one like that.
"Shiryu, what are you saying? I have no such intentions." Shido made a confused expression.
He was acting, Takashi did not know and even though Rei had mentioned that Shido was a bastard, he did not believe her and chose to follow his group.
Rei is helpless.
To be honest, she was disappointed with Takashi.
"Shiryu, right? I don't know what conflict you have with Shido-sensei. But he's definitely not that kind of person! Don't slander him!"
Takashi, you moved me.
Shido is happy.
Hearing what the protagonist said, the other students except Rei in his group came to his defense.
Is this the power of the protagonist's halo?
Shiryu walked closer and confronted Takashi. Due to the height difference, he looked down on him from a taller position.
"Boy, you and the others are naive. But well, I don't care and I still refuse. Otherwise, I'll beat all of you who stand in the way of my group. I also don't mind hitting you, girls."
In a 'certain sense', Shiryu was an advocate of gender equality like Lord Kazuma.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"You..." Takashi didn't expect the boy in front of him to be so resistant to helping them. "You're selfish!"
"I don't dispute that. So what are your options?"
Shido clenched his fists with annoyance on his face, he sighed before nodding.
"Shiryu, you gave us no choice. In order to save everyone, we all have to defeat you."
He didn't believe Shiryu could defeat the boys in his group alone.
However, who said he was alone? Saeko advanced with a sword dirty with the blood of the zombies in her hand.
"Busujima, you also refuse to help us!?"
Takashi and the others who were about to attack couldn't believe it, they thought only Shiryu was too cold and refused to help them.
But what they didn't expect, all the women in Shiryu's group were reluctant to be in the same group with Shido.
"Shiryu-kun is our group leader, I support his decision."
As expected from his future wife.
Shiryu was amused to see the protagonist and heroine who were about to fight. But he spread one of his hands in front of Saeko and said, "You should rest, Senpai. To defeat this bunch of ants, I alone am more than enough.
Saeko understood, she took a step back.
But the other boys including Takashi were angry that he looked down on all of them.
While Shido acted like a coward, and retreated backwards. Takashi swung his baseball bat, "You wanted this, don't blame me if you get hurt!"
However, his attack was easily blocked by Shiryu.
Or rather, he grabbed his baseball bat and squeezed it until it broke.
Takashi was dumbfounded. Before he could react, Shiryu slapped his face with his other hand.
*SLAP!*
The protagonist was thrown to the other side, his body hit a car and he immediately fainted with a face similar to Shido.
In other words, he became like a pig.
"Takashi!"
Rei was anxious and at the same time increasingly disappointed with how weak her childhood friend was.
Of course, she knew Shiryu wasn't an ordinary person, he had the Diary System and had powers that exceeded humans because of that.
She couldn't help but admire him. After all, she herself was the type of girl who liked strong men and acted without hesitation.
So she still stayed where she was, and her attention was only on Shiryu.
Shiryu did not realize or forget his optional goal had been achieved. After all, he understood Rei's personality well from the original work.
"D-Don't be afraid, there are more of us!"
"We attack him together!
The other boys briefly wondered if Shiryu was human?
But soon, they were confident in their numbers.
In Shiryu's eyes, their movements were slow. He almost yawned and slapped their faces one by one.
*SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!*
In less than a minute, more than a dozen male students were defeated and collapsed on the ground.
His gaze then fell on the mastermind behind them.
Shido was terrified and spread his hands in front of him. "W-Wait a minute, Shiryu. I know I was wrong, but I had no choice to do it. Please forgive me! I just want to survive!"
Shiryu did not change his expression and grabbed her collar, "I also want to survive, I can understand why you do this with your personality."
"Shiryu, really understand?"
Shido was excited, he thought the boy in front of him could still forgive him and let him go.
Shiryu grinned, "Yes, and with my personality. I'm reluctant to let people who might take revenge on me live and harm those around me in the future. I also have no other choice but to do this."
"Wh-What? What are you going to do to me?! Shiryu, you can't kill me, I'm the son of—"
Before Shido could finish his words in a panic, Shiryu threw his body with one hand to the second floor of the school that was filled with zombies.
Seeing Shido fly that far just from being thrown by him anyone who was there and witnessed it was shocked by his physical strength.
"Ahhh! Ahh! Stop! Get away from me! Ah! Ahh! Help me! Help me!"
Groaning in pain, Shido cried as the zombies surrounded him and bit him.
"He's finished." Yuko said before turning her gaze to Shiryu. Her interest in him grew.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
