In the World of Crawling Dead The Record of War of a Certain High School
Chapter 65 - Last One
Pulling his leg out of the grip of the man’s corpse, Takumi chased after Kyoutaro.
Shortly after, Ryou followed.
They didn’t know where Kyoutaro had gone, but firstly, they had no choice but to search for him.
It could be said that they were done in by the curly-haired yakuza.
“Damn it…”
Takumi stopped at the turning point of the hallway.
“Which way is it…?”
“If he was running away, he shouldn’t be going up, so to the right or left…”
“Ryou, you go to the left. I will go to the right.”
“How did you decide?”
“Because I’m righthanded.”
“I see. But, I am righthanded too though…”
As Ryou was admonishing him, Takumi’s figure was already far off in the distant.
“...I have no choice, huh.”
Ryou started walking to the left.
He had been too naive, Kyotaro thought as he was tormented by deep regret.
Even though he had aimed to create a new world at the expense of many of his subordinates, they were done in by mere high school students, and without knowing if he had any comrades left, he was running around unsightly.
There was no use crying over spilt milk.
Bitterness unaccountable for filled his heart at those words.
Since he hadn’t taken a good look at the map, he didn’t really know where any exits would be.
No, to start with, as long as he reached the first floor, it would be fine.
As long as he reached the first floor, it would even be possible to break out through a window.
At that time, a broadcasted sounded.
“Uhh… First, to the yakuza inside the school. How are you?”
Kyoutarou stopped running.
“Even if I say everyone, there is only one single person left. After counting the number of corpses, we understood that there was only one person left. Rikka Group’s boss, right?”
“This voice is…”
There was no mistaking it, the boy who blew his own’s horn at the start.
“We are strengthening the defence on the first floor. Since you are planning to escape through the first floor, well, I will say in advance that it’s impossible. What will you do? Will you jump from another floor? You might not die from it. However, you wouldn’t be unscathed. We will end it when you are walking away unsteadily.”
Kyoutarou bit his lip.
This boy, as long as this boy hadn’t been here…
“Well, assumin from your appearances, I think that you are at a certain age, so aren’t your legs and limbs at their limits soon? You are surely fatigued by now. …Well, we don’t intend to overlook anything because of you being worn-out.”
“...”
“Your subordinates were really hopeless guys. To be kicked around by high school kids this much younger than them… Oh, what a pitiful thing. I do sympathize with you to have such bad subordinates.”
“...You!”
“However, I will propose something to you.”
The moment Kyoutarou was about to unconsciously raise his voice, he unexpectedly hear the voice.
Proposal?
Of what?
Kyoutarou started thinking.
During that time, more words flowed from the speakers.
“We have not killed a lot of people. To begin with, why have we
been so hostile? Because you tried to make us surrender with force. Had you treated us in a friendly manner, this would not have happened… If you bow down and surrender to us, we will let you live. What do you think? Will you struggle here recklessly? Or surrender and live in peace?”
A peaceful place.
The thing he was pursuing.
However, all of his subordinates had been killed, was he telling him to surrender to the enemy who was badmouthing him?
There was no way he could do that.
At the very least, it was not an action a virtous person would take.
However, he was worried about the “Rikka Group’s home”.
If he was to abide to his shame and surrender, he might be able to come up with another plan and make a comeback.
“Well, you won’t make a decision this fast. However, we don’t intend to wait however long either. You have five minutes. After five minutes, if you come to the conference room, I will accept your surrender, and deal with it our way. The conference room is on the second floor on the west side. Even if you don’t know where, five minutes are enough for you to run around the second floor, right? Then, I will be waiting for you.”
The broadcast ended there.
Kyoutarou bit his lip harder.
The Rikka Group that awas pretty infamous in the underworld, and for them to be crushed by high school kids…
Still, he was the boss.
He had to protect the Rikka Group.
Kyoutarou was conflicted, but he had no time.
“...Damn it!”
If he was going to be killed anyway, it was better to plan a comeback.
Kyoutarou started running to look for the conference room.
