The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I'm Taking a Liking to This Life

A slight light leaking out of the broken windowsill illuminates Rokka's appearance.

Even if there's nothing light, I don't have a problem with having 'dark vision', except for Mr. Ichinose.

She changed her expression the moment she saw Rokka fall in bloodstain.

"Lie... Li... Li - Mu Gu"

"You can't scream. No matter how many skills you have, you've never gone beyond caution."

"Huh... (Kokuri)"

Mr. Ichinose, who was covered in his mouth with 'shadows' and was a mole, eventually grows up.

Though it has the effect of 'perception inhibition' or 'sign blocking', it is definitely not.

I know there are no monsters or signs of people around me in "Sovereignty," but still I've never gone beyond caution.

With Mr. Itinose - or I'm carrying him - I'm hurrying down to the falling Rokka.

"Wow."

Momo is by Rokka, and he barks quickly.

I've seen her once before, and Momo may have remembered her smell.

But as always, Momo's judgment at times like this is amazing. Is that a wild idea?

"Ugh..."

When touched, Rokka raised her voice slightly.

Good. Apparently he's not dead.

But it's critical.

Terrible condition.

All parts of the flesh are torn apart, and they are greatly determined to my belly.

Normally, it would not be strange to die at all.

Still surviving, probably because she has some kind of skill that can extend her life. Is that a skill to improve physical healing or something? Self-regeneration or physical regeneration or something? The wound healed unusually quickly even when I was treated before.

But we'll need to do something about it as soon as possible.

With that said, where are you, Nishino? Aren't you with me?

Was it a detachment, or - no, not now.

"Mr. Itinose, do you have any recovery pills in hand?

"... there isn't. We need to hit it again with chatter..."

"What's the rest of the SP?

"It's …… 1"

You mean last chance.

If you can transfer the SP, you can use my points.

"-" Gacha ""

Mr. Itinose does not hesitate to activate his skills.

You've never actually seen 'Gacha' before. Is it like this?

A retro lever box appears in front of the eye. He's the kind of guy you see in a candy store.

I wonder what part of it looks like a black belt above the lever? It also looks like a slot...?

"... please. Out... ugh!

Slowly, Mr. Itinose turns the lever.

And the prize that came out...

- How did this happen?

In diminishing consciousness, it was such a question that Rokka felt.

A mysterious scream that I suddenly heard while fighting the monsters in the dining room.

The monsters who heard it - especially the Lesser Wolves, against whom the Roppos were opponents - stopped moving simultaneously and frightened.

No, I felt the Lesser Wolves had more awe-inspiring emotions than frightening, but it didn't matter. Because it was convenient for her.

Shaking off Nishino's deterrence, he slipped through between the monsters, and Rokka slipped through the dining room.

Nature and its footsteps run towards earlier screams.

There is no particular basis. Strongly speaking, it's a conjecture.

But somehow I felt like there was someone there looking for her.

She did.

Natsu Ichinose.

A girl who was Rokka's best friend.

It was. Yes, in the past.

More than a year ago now, her best friend dropped out of school.

The cause is fig.

After shady harassment from her classmate, she went out of school and left school.

It was Rokka, the leader of the group, who took the lead in doing so.

- And it's recognized by schools and classmates.

But the facts are different.

Roppo didn't know.

That my best friend was being jerked off, that it was the group I belonged to that was doing it, and - that the cause of it was on me.

Rokka went into high school and changed her appearance.

It's commonly known as the high school debut.

Her original face was in order, and her social personality went hand in hand. She instantly became the center of her class. Over the hedge of the class, there were more friendly people in other classes.

However, whether the look changed or the class was separate, Rokka continued to interact with her best friend unchanged.

But there were people who didn't think it was funny.

Six flowers at the top of the school karst and a plain girl at the bottom.

I don't catch up, I don't like it. Some people thought so.

Crap jealousy. Crappy inferiority.

Few of the groups to which Rokkawa belonged had such feelings.

And the fangs were directed at his best friend without Roppo's knowledge.

By the time Rokka realized, it was all too late.

My best friend left school, and by virtue of their surrounding roots, Rokkawa was considered the main culprit of the fig.

I couldn't go to see him or contact him.

My parents and school over there didn't let that happen.

Thus Rokka lost her closest friend.

She has spent until today poking holes in her chest, still managing to see only the top surface, making it look like a snag and nothing.

But we met again.

in this monster flooded world.

The moment I saw her face, the emotions that had accumulated until then were about to explode.

I want to play with you again. I want to talk.

I wanted to pick clothes for shopping, play games with you at home, and have a drink like that's nothing.

(But... I don't know if I can do it anymore...)

Even after I left the dining room, it was a series of fierce fights.

There were more monsters on campus than I expected.

I fought, searched, fought, searched, and couldn't find it in the end.

And now, Rokka was trying to do her best.

I had little more sensation of my hands and feet.

I just know I'm hard pressed against the wall.

My body is screaming, even just breathing and exhaling.

I will die soon.

Clearly, it is the face of my best friend that comes to mind when I recognize it.

(... I wanted to apologize...)

Just one word before you die.

I wanted to apologize.

And if I could, I wanted to protect her this time.

(I don't want to die...)

I can't apologize if I die.

If I die, I can't protect you.

That's why I don't want to die.

Second, I heard footsteps.

What is it?

"Wow."

I heard the dog squeal.

Then I also heard someone come running.

Guess who?

Two? Really?

I don't see it very well. I can't hear you very well.

I also feel like someone is screaming something.

That's the kind of voice I've heard somewhere.

I felt like her voice was very, very important, and I couldn't wait to see her that way -... oh, no, no, I'm sleepy now.

My consciousness is about to break.

Unexpectedly, something went into my mouth.

Liquid? No, it felt like jelly.

dust and swallowed it.

At that moment, the feeling of being pulled up from the bottom of the dark, cold water ran all over my body.

I felt my flesh burned from the inside out.

Until then, the blood lagging behind runs all over his body and his heart beats repeatedly with all the tension.

At the same time I felt severe pain.

Until then, senseless hands and feet are evidence that pain has been restored.

"but ha...... ugh!?"

The consciousness becomes blurred.

My body is powerless.

I felt terribly tired.

Still, I heard that 'voice'.

I call my name, and the LORD of his voice is...

"......"

I slowly opened my eyes.

Just opening her eyes was a heavy labor for her now.

Someone shows up in a blurred vision with dust and his own blood.

"... na... hmm?

I couldn't speak well.

I couldn't believe it.

There was a girl in front of me who didn't stop hoping to see me.

"Good...... Li, really good"

Embraced. A warm plush comes through.

My best friend I haven't seen in a year looked terrible.

I'm wet in tears and shaggy, and I don't feel like makeup.

I think the original material is excellent, but I don't feel well.

"... haha,... sorry... nah... noticed... I can't give it to you... no. I can't stay with you because of my school."

"... ugh!?"

"I'm sorry... I don't have to let you go... just... nagging... not really... wanting to..."

I wanted to apologize.

I always wanted to apologize.

It may be too late already.

Maybe it was too late where I apologized.

Still - she, Natsu Ichinose laughed at me.

"Fine... nothing. If Li lived, we'd see each other again like this, that's all we need..."

"Na... Tsum..."

"Long time no see, missed you"

"... yeah, I missed you too"

On this day, the two girls finally reunited.
