Chapitre 16: I am that plot armor
As those "things" moved based on the sound, the moment this harsh ding sound echoed, it attracted all "their" attention!
Every one of those "things" in the area quickly turned their attention toward this sound and moved toward Takashi, who made such a sound, and everyone close to him.
Watching this, Takashi's only thought was one. "RUN!" He shouted with all of his might before he looked at everyone, telling them to run away. He knew that he had messed up, but even so, he didn't want everyone to die because of his mistake!
Everyone subconsciously wanted to run away, especially when they realized the danger that was about to come in their direction.
However, Saya, who heard Takashi's shout, wanted to curse on him and bashed a chair into Takashi's head due to how stupid this guy was! The accident where his metal bat hit the metal handrail aside, this guy even shouted so loudly like that!
What the hell was this guy thinking?!
Did he want all of them to die in this place?!
Still, Isao looked at Takashi in silence and was surprised by the protagonist's power to cause trouble. In just one moment, this guy caused an event in which everyone might die.
This guy was so amazing, he thought.
Nevertheless, due to Takashi's ability to mess around, Isao somehow didn't feel surprised if this guy was being cucked so many times in the story.
"Iinuma!" Saya quickly looked at Isao, hoping he could do something to fix everything, especially when so many of those "things" were about to swarm in their direction!
Everyone was the same, and they knew that they could only put all of their hope into this young man.
While they wanted to run like Takashi had said before, when they saw the number of those "things" about to surround them, they felt their legs weaken.
"Quiet. Don't make a single sound. Just stay where you are."
As his voice fell, Isao made a clenched fist gesture, telling them to shut their mouths.
Subconsciously, they shut their mouths and even tried to lower their voices by stopping breathing.
Meanwhile, Takashi thought that everyone would run away, but unexpectedly, they didn't follow his words; they just stayed in place without any intention of running away. He was dumbfounded by their reactions and wanted to say something, but as he was about to be surrounded, he quickly ran away since he didn't want to die!
"Takashi..." Rei looked at Takashi with a helpless and disappointed gaze.
At that moment, there was no doubt that they were all angry, especially toward Takashi, who ran away, leaving them all in danger!
However, they didn't say anything, or rather, they didn't dare to!
There were so many of "them," and they didn't want them to be swarmed by those "things"!
As they felt nervous, they subconsciously looked in Isao's direction and saw him throwing something toward the locker shoes, which were furthest from their location.
*Bang!*
The stone he threw sank deep into the metal locker shoes, making a loud noise that attracted those "things."
"Walk carefully and steadily. You don't have to be in a hurry. Just follow my lead and match my pace. Everything will be okay. Believe me."
As Isao said those words, he started to walk down from the stairs toward the exit.
"..."
Everyone was in a daze before they followed him quietly, following his steps carefully so no accidents would happen to them.
Under Isao's lead, even though there were many of those "things" in their surroundings, they were able to walk out safely. Frankly, their moods couldn't be described by words. At the same time, they felt like the followers of Moses, who walked over the splitting Red Sea.
Careful and steady.
All of them followed his steps, and they were able to get out safely, which made all of them sigh in relief, yet due to this accident, their gazes toward him became so much different. Their gazes were full of light and confidence, feeling that as long as they followed him, everything would be alright.
"Dammit! Get away! Don't get close to me!"
However, as they were able to get out, they saw Takashi, who was surrounded by those "things."
Even though Takashi had previously been able to run away, he was once again surrounded by those "things." He was clearly panicking as he waved his baseball bat around, trying to push those "things" away from him.
While the group of five, who had only recently known Takashi, felt pleased when they saw that the one who had caused them trouble was in such a crisis, the others felt quite complex.
Nevertheless, as Takashi's childhood friend, how could Rei let him die?
"Iinuma-kun, please save Takashi! Please! I will do anything for you! Please save him!"
Even though Rei knew how unreasonable her request was, she couldn't just watch and do nothing when Takashi was about to die!
Even though Rei knew that Takashi had caused them trouble and even provoked Isao, she still hoped that Isao would save Takashi!
For that... she could do anything!
So, when she asked this request, she leaned forward, even pressing her ample breasts into his arm, so he could feel the softness of her body as she looked at him with a pitiful gaze and moist eyes.
"...."
Isao's lips twitched, wondering whether Rei thought of him as such a lustful person.
"I am not small-minded enough to let someone die because of this."
Isao pushed Rei away slightly, surprising her with his polite reaction and ashamed of her impure thoughts. "I will save him." He then looked at Saya and said, "Takagi-senpai, take the lead."
"Be careful," Saya said with a helpless gaze.
Isao only smiled before moving toward Takashi, who was surrounded. At the same time, he wondered whether his existence had become Takashi's plot armor.
After all, the protagonist was like this. When they were about to die, something or someone would come to save them, pulling them out of danger.
In this world, Takashi is the protagonist, so while the rest might die, he is the only one who will stay alive.
Moreover, according to the standard plot, as a good guy, Isao somehow could imagine that he would die for being bitten by those "things." By then, his death would make Takashi's character grow as a person, making him truly the protagonist that everyone was looking forward to.
"...."
When Isao thought of this, he felt it was complex somehow. Nevertheless, if there was something that the world might mistake, it was impossible for him to die. Or rather, he couldn't die due to those "things" as he knew that in case he was bitten by those "things," he believed that he could stay alive.
At the same time, it also made him think that he should get an animal with a durable body so those "things" couldn't bite him.
'Hmm... let's get an animal that can regenerate too.'
Like a salamander or axolotl.
Yet, while he thought about his future plan, everyone watched him courageously charge toward Takashi to save this ungrateful bastard. They didn't care about Takashi, but watching Isao's act, they all felt nervous, hoping that Isao would come out alive.
Saya felt nervous, too, but she knew that she was tasked with an important task. "Come on. Let's walk. Match my steps. Careful and steady." While she was nervous, she knew that she had to do this since she was a genius! Among all of them, she was the only one who could lead them!
'Dammit, come back alive, Iinuma!'
While screaming inwardly, Saya wished to come back since she had to say the pressure from leading everyone was too unbearable!
Was this something that he always had to bear?
At that moment, her thoughts toward him changed, and her only thoughts were about him, hoping he could return to them as soon as possible.
---
Isao is a good person, okay?
This protagonist is different from my other protagonist, and I won't make him target the protagonist of the original story, so please get rid of all of the negative presumptions about Isao.
Isao is trying to become a good person, so even if the protagonist of the original story and many of the people he meets are hateful, he is willing to give them a chance and save them.
In this story, he will be the kindest, the gentlest, and the most "Yasashi" guy ever!
By the way, sorry for being late.
