In his eyes, he looked like an idiot.
"Yo Takashi, do you really know how to use it?" Shiryu asked before taking another drink of the Pepsi in his hand.
"Stop pretending, I know you're scared. You've used up all your bullets, and even if you don't— you'll die if you move even a little."
Takashi really thought Shiryu was out of bullets and smiled wickedly.
Shiryu chuckled, "Really? I'm scared."
He said that while throwing the Pepsi can in his hand into the trash can behind him.
Right when the Pepsi can actually went into the trash can—
"You...! I told you not to move!" Takashi was angry, but still didn't shoot.
He hesitated, not because he didn't hate Shiryu enough to want to kill him.
But...
"I moved, why am I still alive? Takashi, are you kidding me?" Shiryu rubbed the back of his neck with a disappointed expression. "Don't tell me you don't dare to kill anyone but zombies? Even if it's someone who fucked your childhood friend, Rei?"
Takashi froze, his face reddened with the anger building up in his heart and he shouted, "Shut up! Shiryu, this is all your fault... If only you weren't a student from the same school as us, Rei and the other women in your group wouldn't have been tricked by you! They wouldn't have followed you, but—"
"But you?" Shiryu interrupted the words of the protagonist in front of him, there was an amused smile on his handsome face. "You really think Rei, Saeko, Shizuka and the other women in my group were tricked by me and should have followed you when this zombie pandemic started?"
He shook his head.
"Takashi, you disappoint me. In this situation, you still think in a way that is comfortable for yourself."
"Instead of shooting me when I let my guard down, you even showed yourself in front of me first and talked to me like now."
"I see, you seem to want to hear what I did to Rei and the other women last night, right? I didn't expect you to have such a fetish."
"...?" Takashi had a question mark on the top of his head. But immediately, he denied. "Nonsense! I don't have that kind of fetish! Shiryu, I just want you to know why I want to kill you!"
"Huh? Isn't it obvious?" Shiryu looked at the protagonist as if he was an idiot. He did not panic at all when a gun was pointed at him.
Instead of worrying about that, he was thinking of how to make Takashi feel more uncomfortable with his words.
"You hate me so much and want to kill me because I took your childhood friend from you, Rei. I have tasted her lips, her breasts and her pussy. Did you know she was a virgin when she offered to sleep with me that first night when the pandemic started."
[I don't know who the real villain is here. Is it you or the blackened protagonist, host?]
System-chan, I'm obviously a victim trying to defend myself right now.
"...!" As Shiryu wanted, Takashi felt very uncomfortable and his face gradually turned green. "No way! How could Rei take the initiative to offer herself to you? You obviously forced her!"
He hated Rei after she left him and chose to date Shiryu.
But, imagining her humbly offering her virginity to Shiryu whom she barely knew compared to her childhood friend, him and even Hisashi...
Takashi felt humiliated. After all, Rei was a girl he had liked for a long time, and he felt she liked him too.
But not just dating Hisashi since a few weeks ago. Not long ago, she would rather date Shiryu and have sex with him than her remaining childhood friend!
Rei, you really are a bitch!
If Rei knew what Takashi was thinking right now, she would probably slash him with her spear.
Was she wrong for not choosing him?
Takashi should blame himself!
Shiryu knew Rei did not choose to date Takashi even though she once liked him because he was not there by her side to comfort her when Shido made her repeat a class.
Because of that, she even dated Hisashi but that was it. In the end, the only man who managed to fuck her pussy and suck her breasts was him— Sou Shiryu.
Instead of responding to what Takashi said, he continued his words.
"The same goes for Saeko, Yukana, Miku, Ranko, Yui, Shizuka-sensei, Kyoko-sensei and the other women of Shuichiin Academy. Last night, I tasted each and every one of them."
Except for Saya, Kaguya, Hayasaka, Osaragi and Miko. He had not seduced them enough, but he was in no hurry.
"You also did it with all of them... Even Shizuka-sensei!? You, you bastard! Shiryu, you deserve to die! How could those women not object to..."
Takashi widened his eyes, he was very envious of Shiryu and suddenly felt his heart ache.
After all, almost all the women whose names were mentioned by Shiryu had ambiguous relationships with him in the original work.
Of course, he didn't know this.
The protagonists seemed to have a sixth sense.
"They don't mind sleeping together with me. I'm also curious as to why that happened."
Shiryu grinned and continued to provoke the boy in front of him. "Maybe because I'm too handsome?"
"Shiryu, you have to die here!"
Takashi finally swallowed the trigger of the firearm in his hand.
Although he had only learned how to use the weapon this morning, he was confident that from this close range, his shot would hit Shiryu.
That was what he thought before seeing the impossible for a human to do.
Shiryu had activated the Blood Pointer and used every negative emotion from the zombies he killed to increase his physical strength again.
For a while, he could see every bullet that flew into the direction in slow motion.
Nimbly, he avoided every bullet trajectory and approached Takashi like a cheetah.
Takashi was panicked and frightened, he kept firing but Shiryu's figure was too fast for his eyes to see.
In an instant, he appeared in front of him and held a firearm in his hand.
With a bit of strength, Shiryu destroyed the firearm in his grasp.
"What? How did you...!"
Takashi clearly wanted to ask how he could do all that.
Shiryu casually replied, "I'm Captain America."
*SLAP!*
The sound of a slap echoed at the entrance of the Supermarket.
Takashi's head was about to flip over, and his body was also about to be thrown to the side. But when Shiryu slapped him, he also grabbed his neck with his other hand.
Takashi groaned in pain, his right cheek instantly swollen. On the floor, two of his teeth even fell out.
He felt very humiliated, but more than that— he looked at Shiryu with horror in his eyes.
"Ugh! L-Let go of me! Shi—"
*SLAP!*
"Damn it! Shiryu, I swear to—"
*SLAP!*
"Aaaahhh! I'll kill you! I'll—"
*SLAP!*
"Please, stop... Shiryu, I..."
*SLAP!*
Takashi wanted to cry, Shiryu kept slapping him every time he was about to speak.
Even when he begged him to stop, he kept slapping him until his face became pig-like.
As the protagonist, he could be considered handsome but now... Rei and any girl would feel disgusted when looking at him.
Compared to the pain... This crazy humiliation made him want to die.
His pride as the protagonist had been trampled on by Shiryu.
What he didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
"Takashi, do you remember our bet?" Shiryu asked with a cold expression.
"I-I..." Takashi shuddered. He was also having trouble speaking and breathing because his neck was still strangled.
But yes, he remembered.
Even so, why was Shiryu suddenly talking about that?
"You didn't bring any food or water to stock up on. As for me?" Shiryu looked around as if he was looking for something. But in the end, he sighed. "Forget it, we can consider me the winner in this bet."
Takashi wanted to argue, but the current him did not dare to do so.
Especially when he saw the killing intent in Shiryu's eyes. No way, is he going to kill him!?
"My request is simple. Since you want to kill me. Wouldn't it make sense if I also killed you now?"
"No! S-Shiryu, please... Don't kill me! I'm sorry, I know I was wrong! If you kill me, the others will suspect you too! Think about it, how would Rei react if she knew her childhood friend was dead? She'll at least be sad and think you killed me!"
Takashi threw away his pride and pleaded desperately.
However, what he said about Rei made Shiryu laugh.
"Takashi, you're pleading but you're also threatening me? You're overestimating yourself. Do you think Rei will still be sad if you die?"
"How about I tell her that I killed you because you tried to kill me first?"
"I'm not worried to see who she'll choose. You or me?"
Takashi felt a chill in his heart, he was actually not very confident that Rei now still harbored feelings for him.
From the reaction she had shown to him since she joined Shiryu's group, he knew she was disgusted with him and even hated him.
Rei was not enough to stop Shiryu who now wanted to kill him!
"Y-You also have to worry about Saeko and the other women who will suspect you, Shiryu."
Takashi continued to persuade the boy he was referring to.
"They?" Shiryu held his chin as if he was thinking.
Seeing that, Takashi perked up and thought there was hope for survival in this situation.
Unfortunately, what Shiryu said next made him fall into the abyss of despair.
"No, I'm not worried about their reaction to your death. So, Takashi... Goodbye."
"Nooooo! Anyone, help me!"
Takashi shouted for help.
Usually, people who are called protagonists have plot armor. In this situation, there was a possibility that the other party would suddenly appear and save him.
Shiryu was quite alert, but after a few seconds passed.
There was no one who came to save the protagonist in his hand.
"I'm thinking too much."
He took out the Desert Eagle Yuriko had given him and aimed it at Takashi's head.
In fact, he still had a few bullets in the weapon.
*Bang!*
For the first time, he killed a protagonist in this world. The next second, he also didn't get struck by lightning or anything like that.
[Host, I think you've been reading too many Eastern novels.]
Shiryu dropped Takashi's corpse to the floor and couldn't argue with what System-chan said.
But...
"How did you know I like reading those kinds of novels?"
[As your system, I at least have access to information about what you've been doing in this world before I came.]
"You're invading my privacy."
[Sorry, it can't be helped.]
Shiryu's lips twitched, he wanted to argue with his system but forgot it.
Before returning to the shelter, he would at least put food and water in the supermarket.
Of course, he also separated the parts for him and his own group in his inventory.
The share for his group must have been much more.
Anyone who saw him now would probably think he was looting the supermarket.
That was not wrong.
Still, before he exited the place. Di took out his diary and increased the number of words to get the reward.
[It was quite a stressful day. When I was gathering food and water supplies for the people in the shelter.]
[I didn't expect the protagonist Takashi to ambush me with a firearm in his hand. His intentions were clear, he wanted to kill me.]
The heroines were surprised.
Their first reaction is to worry about Shiryu.
As for Takashi?
Saeko and Rei chose cold expressions. If they were on the scene, they would have killed him with their own hands.
No mercy on the one who dared try to kill their man, Shiryu.
Shiryu would have loved to know the reactions of his yandere-like women, but now he was vigorously making up stories in his diary.
He wrote down what happened between him and Takashi earlier without forgetting to add some spice.
[Fortunately I have received some rewards from the Diary System recently. I was able to dodge Takashi's shots and counterattack!]
Holding a copy of Shiryu's diary in each hand, many heroines were relieved.
At the same time, they were also amazed that he could do that now!?
Saeko: As expected of my man.
Rei: Takashi, you trash! Shiryu, I'm glad you're okay.
There are still a lot of beautiful women commenting out there.
But leave that aside.
[After slapping his face to look like a pig. I asked Takashi why he was doing this? He said he was jealous of me because I had taken Rei, Saeko and other beauties from the same school as me away from him. He also said that if it weren't for me, they would have followed him and become his women.]
The heroines: Huh?
Even Rei is dumbfounded by what Takashi is thinking.
If it's just because of her, it's natural. But why is he also jealous of Shiryu because Saeko and the other women sak think they should be his women?
Not only her, Saeko and the other women were disgusted with Takashi.
By the way, what did Shiryu do to him?
"....." Takashi's corpse had a hole in its head.
Even after dying, Shiryu still speaks ill of him more than what he did to him.
The protagonist of Highschool Of The Dead in this world is really pathetic.
[I gave him a chance to repent, but he was clamoring that he'd rather die than give up on revenge.]
[To be honest, I don't care about his life and death. But I thought of Rei because he was her childhood friend.]
[Even so, I was forced to kill him.]
Shiryu's writing exudes a slightly guilty and complicated emotion. In fact, he was smiling broadly when he wrote all that.
System-chan was silent.
Her host was more skillful than she expected.
He was good at manipulating the heroines with just you writing. Now, he looks like a victim who is only defending himself in their eyes.
The heroines certainly don't blame him for killing the protagonist Takashi.
He deserved it!
Even Rei isn't saddened by Takashi's death, she's relieved and thinks maybe it's fate.
When Shiryu returned, she had to tell him that she didn't blame him and comfort him with her body.
Her cheeks flush a little when she thinks about how incredible Shiryu's technique and his cock are.
Ahem! Takashi, may you rest easy in the underworld.
"Wait, is there an underworld here? Hehe, whatever."
Shiryu closed his diary, he was in a very good mood. In the near future, he could also get the next reward.
But just as he exited the supermarket, his diary suddenly popped up by itself and displayed a page that read:
[Ding! A plot in this world has been detected.]
[In an office building located near Tokyo Bay, or rather about 70 meters from your position, there is a battle going on between two certain parties. Come to that place and help one of the parties defeat their enemies.]
[You will get a random reward.]
A new quest has appeared!
Shiryu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about having to delay returning to the sanctuary, and making love again with his women.
"But 70 meters? That's close enough. I accept this quest, System-chan."
With his physical strength, he could cover tens of meters in just a few minutes.
Although he was not sure which two groups were fighting, he would do it for the sake of rewards.
Still, which side should he help? Well, he would help whichever side had beautiful women in it.
Or maybe the other heroines?
[Understood, host.]
System-chan didn't bother to comment on how her host was helping people.
She was just doing her job like a professional.
