"Help! Please open"

My comfort in hearing the scream is that it was not Kurisu's voice, in fact, it was from a man. He shouts while knocking on something, probably a door for the interpretation of his words, although it was nobody I known, I ran quickly to the house.

It was already dark and when I reached my destination, on a street under a lamp in the porch of a house, two silhouettes could be distinguished, one large and one small. The big one was knocking desperately on the door, ignoring that with his actions he was drawing the attention of the Zombies.

Shit, now I remember. It must be the father of the little girl who accompanied the protagonists of the story and if things follow the original plot then...

Along with my thoughts the door opens and a knife comes out stabbing the man, he is surprised and sees inside the house. Something is heard, but for the distance there are only murmurs in the wind.

Well, for being stabbed in the stomach you will not die immediately, you have a chance to survive ... obviously, if help does get to them before the zombies that the fool called to feast with their body reach them.

"They've stabbed him!"

Watching everything that happened, above my head, on the second floor Hirano’s voice is heard. It seems that everyone was watching the show. For now let's save the guy and the girl, I would probably have nightmares if see how a group of zombies devour the little girl. I raise my voice to get everyone's attention on the balcony.

"Kurisu and Hirano, cover the two people so that zombies don't bite them, I’m sure with your aim it would not be a difficulty. No, wait ... you don't shoot Hirano, your weapon has no silencer."

"Alex! You returned"

"Yes, I'm-"

"Watch out, you have a zombie by your side!!”

E-eh? Damn it, I didn't realize it was coming ... where is it? I turn my head in all directions to find the zombie, but can't find him, and then Saeko tells me its location by pointing.

"She must refer to Scythe, right?"

Oh I see. Although it is no longer a zombie, it cannot be denied that it has some characteristics similar to one. I quickly speak to Kurisu and the others who pointed at Scythe to prevent them from firing.

"Don't shoot, she's ... it's hard to explain now, just don't shoot her since it's not dangerous"

They hesitated a little, but abide my words. That’s good, Scythe had also turn in a defensive mode, although it is most likely that they will kill her with shots, there are also chances that she will reach them and if she can get closer to them, none of them could stop her.

“You don't attack them either Scythe, instead, go and kills all the zombies that try to reach those 2 over there"

"K-i-ll"

After uttering, she throws herself running to where the 2 were indicated, these on the balcony are surprised to see her run that way, since no zombie moved at that speed until now, if they did so, certainly humans would not have salvation.

"Kurisu, focus on covering the 2 over there and don't worry about her. Saeko-chan, we’ll also follow Scythe, we have to carry the wounded guy and bring the girl"

"Sure"

Saeko and I start running in the direction of the blood path that Scythe had created, we killed a few zombies who were lucky not to meet the claws of my ghoul. With the path half clean of enemies, we soon reached the porch where the two were.

The girl cried as she lay on the chest of her dad who was lying on the floor, I saw bodies of zombies around both, Kurisu was correctly covering them. Schythe was on the side of the street killing any living dead approaching, giving us enough peace of mind to proceed.

It is not chivalrous, but with my body it is very uncomfortable to carry an adult, without another option I turn to Saeko and tell her.

"Saeko try to support the man, I will open the way for any zombie that comes close and also take care of the girl"

"Please just save her, that's enough for me ... I won't delay you making you carry me, but save her I beg you!"

"No, dad, don't leave me alone!"

"Woau!"

The girl's father speaks with tears in his eyes, and the girl sadly says between her tears. On the other hand, where did the dog come from? Thinking about it, I vaguely remember that there was a dog in the anime ... whatever, I made the decision beforehand and will do it as planned.

"Do not cry girl and take your dog, don't worry, I will also help your dad, but if you keep crying the monsters will come"

"Will you really save my dad? !!"

"I pretend to do that from the beginning, now step aside and let this onee-chan help your dad to get up to get out of here."

"Yes!!"

The girl turns to Saeko who smiles at her, and then quickly stands aside while taking the dog with both of her hands and hugging it. Saeko bends down and incorporates the man who still insists that we leave him and that we only take the little girl.

"Stop complaining man, if you're worried about delaying us, then you better clench your teeth and speed up the pace."

"Dad you can do it, keep walking !!"

After several minutes we arrived at the door of the house where we were staying, the one that receives us are Shisuka and several more. With the support of more people they move the man easily, but when went to lay him down in the living room, I spoke.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Take him up"

"But he's hurt and it's better to treat him here."

"Doesn’t matter, take him up"

"Moo, Alex-kun dumb ... fast, take him up"

After Shisuka is convinced, they change direction to the stairs and begin to take him up among several people. When I see that they take the path that I told them, I go back outside and put two fingers in my mouth and whistle.

"Scythe, come back"

Immediately after the echo of the whistle is heard, is followed by my voice, Scythe who is covered in blood come seconds later while jogging to where I am, but she doesn’t seem hurt so it must be from the zombies. Then I enter the house next to her.

"Haaa !! Why is there a zombie inside? !!" 

Once inside, a scandal breaks out with the group of people who were previously directed by the weasel with glasses.

"Silence!!"

"Grhaaa !!"

Everyone became silent, more than by my words it was because of Scythe’s support followed after me, the fear of drawing her attention led them to close their mouths.

Since everyone is quiet, I head for the stairs and as if it were my faithful dog Scythe follows me without having to say anything. When I arrive upstairs it is good that they do not receive me with shouts like the others, but they still seem puzzled and distrustful of Scythe who is behind me. The one that breaks the tense atmosphere is Shisuka, who either didn't realize the ghoul in the room or just doesn't care.

"This is bad Alex-kun, the stab touched the internal organs. He needs to go to a hospital and have a doctor operate it or he will bleed out and die."

The stabbed man seems to have lost consciousness at some point during the move to the second floor and now breathed weakly while lying in a couch.

"A hospital? I’m sure the doctor there will eat him instead of treating him ... I doubt that there is still one working"

[One of the rank [I] potion that you have should be enough to block internal bleeding. Just do the same as before, gave him to drink half of the potion and the rest apply it to the wound]

When the girl hears that her father would die, she again becomes a water fountain with speakers included. In the midst of her lament I listen to Aurora, it seems that the girl's father is lucky and can be saved. I put my hand in my pocket, take out an [Potion I-] and handed it to Shisuka at the same time I comfort the child.

"Don't worry, your dad will not die, Shisuka, you have to make him drink half of this and the rest empty it over the wound"

"What is this?"

"If I tell you, I would have to ..."

I say with a serious face and stop my words in the middle of the sentence, I look directly at her and caress the colt with my fingers. I hear several people swallow and I see their bodies shake with a slight tremor, Shisuka on the other hand ... tilts her head in doubt. Damn, is she immune to stress? With everyone else in suspense I repeat.

"If I tell you, I would have to make love to you"

"E-eh? Moo, Alex-kun rascal !~"

"Ah?"

"Alex !!"

"Fufufu ..."

[Beep]

[Shisuka Affection +5]

Kurisu yells at me in complaint while Saeko laughs discreetly, I see the others almost slip and fall on the floor. Only the girl and Scythe do not seem to understand my words, one continues to worry about her father and the other just observes everything that happens. Stopping to joke, I hurry Shisuka that although she complains seems happy.

"Just apply it or he will get worse"

"OK~"

In the end she follows my instructions and gives the man half a bottle to drink, then cuts the cloth around the wound and applies the potion. Everyone gathers around curious, without being an exception I also stand aside. The liquid sprayed on the wound seems to clot into a kind of green jelly, it wasn't very pleasant to see, but at least it stopped the bleeding.

"Now we just have to wait for him to recover"

"Hopefully it works, for now I will bandage his wound so that it does not stay exposed"

"Well, we should go out since there is nothing else we can do, we can only let him rest quietly"

I go downstairs and the others one by one do the same. Kurisu takes the girl's hand that is unwilling to leave her dad but finally accompanies her, I look for a place in the living room on the first floor, but as if I were a plague everyone stand aside and immediately vacates the largest armchair. That hurts my feelings a little ... no, actually it does not matter to me, besides, more than avoiding me, they do it for my new shadow that immediately sits aside where I do it and she takes her characteristic crouched position.

Oh, she is at the right height to stroke her hair, and that is precisely what I do. Gehk, now is full of blood, hell, won't I get infected by this?

[Don't worry Alexander, because of the data that I have been able to collect, the virus cannot survive an exposed environment, so after a few seconds that the zombie's blood comes into contact with the air it dies]

Ooh, can you do things like that Aurora? That's great, so, do you know if a terrorist or a crazy pharmacist spread the virus?

[I’m afraid that none, according to the data, it is very likely that the world itself created the virus. This world is in a process to transform itself into a world level 2, many worlds when they enter a process of evolution unleash catastrophes so that the living beings in them adapt]

Haa? Is the world evolving? Isn’t that a problem? Won't I suddenly find a creature with a level 2 soul? Aurora please tell me that information as a priority, I came here because I thought it was safer than Gaia...

[Fufuu, Calm down Alexander, I could not know that information if do not inspect the environment, besides the evolution from one world to another level is not something that happens overnight. If it is fast it will take about 100 years, if it is slow about 500 years]

Fuuu ... it's a relief. My deadline in this world is minimum 6 months, and I will not last long here if I meet one.

"It seems that what you give me worked, he has stabilized and if continues that way, he will recover"

Shisuka coming down from the second floor interrupts my dialogue with Aurora, but it seems to be good news. The girl listening to them rejoices and jumps energetically. Several people smile watching and share her emotion, well it is a world in which hope has been lost so seeing something positive is pleasant.

"Who is she?"

"Yes Alex, now you have enough time to explain it"

Going down the stairs to meet the others, Shisuka asks, and being unable to resist curiosity or jealousy when she sees me stroking Scythe’s hair, Kurisu seconded her.

"Well, how do I explain this..."

As I say, I observe Scythe who obediently closes her eyes and let me stroke her hair, no matter how I look at it, I can only think of one thing.

"My new pet"

"""Pet?"""

"Alex-Kun, you can't have people as pets. That's wrong!"

"No nurse, that's not a person ... it's a zombie"

The others are surprised and Shisuka scolds me, but a fussy person corrects her. That guy is rude ... my Scythe won't rot and she's already vaccinated, so won't spread disease.

"Eh? Zombie? ... Well, then if you are going to keep it, you must feed it properly!"

"Hiiii !!"

Seriously, Shisuka is a genius in her own way ... what else can I say? A girl fell after screaming scared, and everyone else move further away of me, Scythe and her. On the other hand, she seems not to understand the implications of her own words.

"Okay, I'll feed her correctly"

"Alex! Stop joking"

"Fufufu ..."

All 10 of the other group look at me in fear as if they are looking at a demon, they can't stand a joke ... of course I won't feed Schythe with strange things ... maybe my plant will do that.

But speaking of feeding them, I have no idea what they eat. Aurora, do you know what I should feed the monsters that I've tamed recently?

[No, but I can buy information in the system. I only need 500G, is it ok for you?]

Oh Aurora, now you're talking to someone rich. That's like a pocket change for me, you don't need to ask me about something of that amount.

[Fufufu, it seems that you are in a very good mood Alexander ... the Venus Luciferian can be feed with any type of bodies, it also seems that she has a great appetite so you will have to feed her constantly, but in exchange the more she eat and stronger the thing you feed it with, will grow faster. As for Scythe, she-]

[Grooown ~]

Before she could finish, the growl of someone's stomach is heard in the room clearly, and everyone focuses their eyes on the origin. She was next to me and looks at me a little discouraged then speaks.

"Ma-s-ter..."

From our connection of my [Tame] skill I can feel that she is hungry, the good thing is that no longer sees me as someone tasty.... Before I could say anything she gets up and runs to the door, unable to open it she goes to a window and breaks it throwing herself through it.

"Oh Shit, my new pet got away!"

I get up quickly and follow her, you must be kidding, I just captured her and even if look for another zombie, I would have to wait a month to name it. After leaving the house I see that Schythe had not gone so far and was pulling a head from a zombie she found.

When she releases it, she runs happily towards me and after reaching where I was, extends her hands while holding the head ... it is good that she does not escape, but now what? Does she want me to throw it to chase it?

She seeing that I did not make any movement, she proceeds to sink her nails into the skull. Right, she was hungry ... for God’s sake, please tell me you don't eat zombie brains.

After rummaging for a moment inside the head, she withdraws her hand and throws it aside losing interest in it. When I had doubts about what she was doing, she shows me a crystal between her fingers, then she opens her mouth and try to eat it, but before she put it in, I stop her.

"Wait Schythe, give me that!"

She stops her hands and directs her gaze to the crystal and then me repeatedly, being a little annoyed she extends her hand to hand it to me.

[Beep]

[Scythe loyalty -10]

So the crystals are in the zombies head ... leaving that aside, it seems that she was really reluctant to hand it over to me, but it was not pleasant to see her eat something that was in someone's head, which was stained with blood and with pieces of brains.

Not that I care about the crystal itself, I put my hand in my pocket, then withdrew 100 C together in one piece and handed it to Scythe who, seeing that it was a little brighter than the previous one, takes it quickly.

[Beep]

[Scythe loyalty +50]

She has a very volatile character ... she look at the crystal for a few moments and eat it . So that's what she eats, but how constant does she need to eat it? If they are about 3 times a day ... in a week they are 2,100 crystals, not a small amount.

[Don't worry Alexander, that crystal will probably keep her hungry in check for a week. She can't process energy as fast as Venus]

That's great, otherwise I could go bankrupt in a few months. We all go back inside and everyone gets settled in a place in the living room.

"Somebody look for something to block the window, after that, since everyone must be exhausted, you could relax for a short time. We will take a bath and rest to continue tomorrow. The first to go will be the 10 that were on the first floor, as we are a somewhat big group, we will enter in groups separated by gender"

We should rest to continue our trip to Saya's house tomorrow, and everyone probably would like having a good a night's sleep. Everyone nods to my words and quickly begins to move.
