(Kyosei’s View)

3 days passed by in a flash, Byakuya has proven to me that he is more than just a capable kid. He is just lacking the experience and also the height to properly utilize his abilities in killing the undead.

I also thought that he would give up midway but he still wanted me to acknowledge his request.

Thankfully, it was still pending because I am not yet giving out a definite answer to that. He didn’t mind it and just waited for my answer patiently. And yes, I still needed a little bit more time and I also need to discuss this with Eve if necessary.

Also, Kaito has finally recovered from the wounds that he suffered from the last mission and is finally ready to commence on our mission. Right now, I am giving Kaito the details of my discoveries these past few days involving the gangsters, that way, he doesn’t get confused about what he missed out on.

”So, this time around, we will be attacking the base of the gangsters that are threatening us. It doesn’t sound like there will be any room for negotiation. So we are going in for the kill?” Kaito asked as he wrapped his hands with bandages.

”Yes. That is the only way for us to execute this plan and eliminate those guys out.”

”So, does that mean we are now going to proceed and do the attack?” Kaito asked.

”We will do that tomorrow. Right now, I wanted to stay here for now since I have been doing multiple missions with my apprentice left, and right that it left me exhausted to the bone.”

”Alright then, that would be good enough since I am still trying to recover most of my energy.”

I gave the info to Kaito before I decided to go back to my room. Since we have cleared most of the surrounding area of the base from the grasp of the dead, it is no longer a trouble for us that much and many can relax now compared during the very early days of the outbreak.

Just as I was about to go to my room, I noticed a female worker cleaning aimlessly on the floor. She lacks the usual work ethics of those girls and boys who volunteered on the Household group. Aside from that, her face is very new and even if I tried to remember when she did arrived here, I don’t think I remember her coming along with those new survivors we rescued from the gangsters and i don’t remember anyone bringing in someone by themselves. Aside from me who would bring someone else from the outside without the permission from Haru or Nanami, no one else is bold enough to do that.

When the worker noticed me looking at her, she immediately bowed down and smiled at me.

”Good morning sir, are you going to your quarters? Want me to clean your quarters or do you want me to give you some massage?”

I found that strange as the household workers are a few of the groups that I get along with and the ones I have most contact with since I always beg them to fix my clothes every time it gets torn to pieces and the kitchen staff is quite fond of me as I always deliver them new ingredients to cook with and I occasionally cook with them, allowing me to remember everyone working in there. Due to that, no matter how hard I try to remember, I don’t think I remember her at all.

One more strange behavior she did is greeting me. There is one unique rule many of the people here do especially the new guys and that is to ignore or not talk to me. Everyone are not fond of my serious and always angry looking face. Aside from that, I always carry my weapons with me so they are afraid I will go angry and attack them using those. The only exception of those people who greets me are those people who are already acquainted to me. Other than that, there is no way they will.

Due to that, I beckoned her to come near.

”What is it sir?”

Before she can react, I pulled her over and locked her neck in my arms. After doing so, I also pull put my trusty Beretta M9 Pistol and aimed it on the temple of the woman.

”Who sent you? Your answer will also depend whether you will live or die.”

”AH?! Sir, what are you doing?”

”Speak unnecessary words and I will blast this gun right to your head.”

While doing that, Miyuki and Eve are walking in the hallway when they noticed me.

”Huh? Daddy? What are you doing?”

”Kyosei?! Why are you aiming a gun to this worker?” Miyuki panicked.

”Miss! Help! He is assaulting me and wanted me to do obscene things for him! When I tried to struggle, he aimed his gun to me!”

Miyuki looked at me with a big frown on her face. ”Let her go, Kyosei.”

Since it is Miyuki who is saying this, I decided to let her go. Miyuki immediately helped her and checked her neck.

”Are you hurt? Let me check your neck for any injuries.”

”Nothing serious miss. You helped me out.”

”Come, lets go to my room, we should get your injury treated. Don’t worry, I am a nurse here so you don’t have to worry about it too much.”

Miyuki looked at me before they entered the room on the end of the hallway. I was left out with Eve who was left alone with me.

”Let’s go to the cafeteria for now and grab some dessert to eat. What do you say? My treat.”

”Sure daddy!”

We went to the cafeteria and looked into the room where Miyuki and the girl went in. I don’t want to know what she will do with that woman inside the Interrogation Room. I sighed and left with Eve for now.

Day 319: 9:12 A.M

(The Unknown Maid’s View)

I was saved by this nice girl from the grasp of the person who have found out my real intention. Thank goodness that the reason I gave to her worked or else, I would have been found out.

”Thank you for saving me from that creep-” before I can say anything, I was suddenly hit by a blunt object on the back of my head.

I fell over the ground and before I can even say anything, another blunt thing is sent to my head, causing me to lose consciousness.

...

I don’t know how long I passed out but I can smell the faint smell of ammonia near my nose. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the girl from earlier who helped me. Aside from her, there are other girls here too.

”Looks like the smelling salts is just working fine. I thought I bashed her head too much.”

”Ugh, Miyuki, you should learn some self-restraints. It is not going to be easy if we kill someone using your methods.”

”No worries, I calculated it easily and look, the calculation was a success!”

I am still confused at the moment and I still feel the sting in my forehead and the back of my head. I tried moving my hands only to notice that I was bound. I also realized that I was not laying on a bed but I was sitting on the chair. What is more, there are ropes tied up on my body and my hands has a handcuffs attached.

”What? What the hell is going on?”

The girl who helped me earlier looked at me and I almost shrinked when I saw her glare at me with a killing intent on her aura.

”Did you think that I didn’t notice? And did you think that alibi you used earlier is effective?”

”Huh?”

”Your alibi is just the worst of all alibis that I heard ever. I wanted to laugh a lot earlier since you used it against the person who is less likely to do it.”

”Huh??”

The girl who looked like a nerd grinned and snickered. ”Just imagining those things being done by Kyosei, I will be wondering if the world has truly turned mad and if there is some sort of epiphany occuring on that guy’s head.”

”What do you guys mean?!”

”You just used the harassment and s.e.x.u.a.l assault act victim play against the person who has the zero chance of doing so. I would even say you are blessed by the deities if he ever did that to you.”

”Now, then. Let me see, should we play ”Break the Fingers” game and see who will be able to make this person spill out all of the things she needed to say for us?” the girl who saved me looked at me with a sinister smile.

I was screwed. And here I thought I escaped someone’s wrath, only to find myself suffering further and further in their hands.
