Bab 55: He is taken
With the four leaving the estate under the eyes of many, they felt endless regret since they knew their impression of him had changed so much due to their hasty decision.
Isao, who had left, didn't care what they thought since all he had been thinking about was going to the university to get all the necessary knowledge for his future world.
Yet, those on the Takagi estate were dumbfounded and amazed by Isao's guts. Even as an adult, they were nervous, and their hearts had always been in constant fear due to those "things," yet Isao could walk out toward the city with ease, even bringing Rei, Saeko, and Naomi.
Still, probably due to their guilt, Saya, Kyoko, Shizuka, and the others kept following him until the dividing wall that separated the estate and the area that was haunted by those "things."
Watching Saya, Isao felt helpless and said, "You are the only one I can trust here, so help me to take care of those."
His words might be simple, but Saya, who had a genius mind, understood the meaning behind them.
Yes, the Takagi estate might be safe and all, but was it?
If Isao wasn't there, what would happen to them?
If there was someone who could protect the rest, it could only be Saya, the daughter of the Takagi couple.
Yet, more importantly, she was glad to know that he didn't hate her.
Instead of being kind and giving her attention like she was the most treasured, treating her in an equal position and entrusting her with responsibility was a way to get her heart.
While Saya protected the home, Isao went out to fight.
The two stood side by side.
This was how it should be, and it was such a perfect relationship, but unfortunately, this guy was a scoundrel!
With her parents by her side, Saya watched Isao walk away quietly outside with Rei, Saeko, and Naomi while being surrounded by those "things." While she wasn't surprised by this, Souichiro and Yuriko were dumbfounded since Isao was simply a bundle of guts!
'This was a man,'
The two thoughts, especially when they knew his purpose in going out, were to get knowledge. While they weren't sure whether Isao could learn the necessary knowledge for the future, his willingness to learn was something that was worthy of admiration, and in their hearts, there had always been a place for him in their estate. for
As for the female in his surroundings, they simply ignored their existence.
Still, Yuriko looked at her daughter and smiled. "You are cornered about the girls around him?"
Saya pouted, but she didn't argue with her mother.
"He is an exceptional man. It is normal for him to be favored by many."
Saya understood that, but she couldn't accept it.
"Instead of being jealous, you should learn to become an existence that can't be discarded by him. Be someone who he will regret in life if he loses you. By then, you will be the one that is chosen," Yuriko said calmly.
"Wh-Why should I do that?! I-I don't like him!" Saya blushed and quickly refuted her mother since it was impossible for her to admit what she felt in her heart.
Yuriko's expression suddenly changed, and she said calmly, "Saya, as your mother, I will tell you that if you want to get him, you should change your attitude. He doesn't lack women by his side, and if you keep being like this, sooner or later, you will realize that he has gone far away, and it is impossible for you to stay by his side anymore.
"If you don't feel anything, then it is fine, but if you feel something, then you will have a deep regret in your life."
Yuriko might have said this before, but it seemed her daughter didn't remember it, so she had to remind her once again.
"I..."
Saya didn't expect the words that came out of her mother's mouth, but she couldn't argue and fell silent while she lowered her head.
Watching her daughter, Yuriko sighed helplessly since Saya's personality was quite similar to her husband's, but at the same time, compared to her daughter, she was more cornered about her husband since the way he saw Isao had become so strange.
Fortunately, Isao had walked away when Souichiro showed such an expression; otherwise, he would definitely not have gone back.
"Don't lower your head. Look up. Don't be complacent because we can walk safely before. Always be careful since I can't protect you all the time, and one bite from them, you will be over."
Isao didn't know what Yuriko was thinking, but he needed to remind Naomi, who lowered her head as she walked.
"Ye-Yes!"
However, her loud answer caused those "things" to be attracted to their direction.
Whether it was Rei, Saeko, or Naomi were stunned, Isao moved and slammed all of those "things" that were about to attack them with his baton, defeating them with ease and smoothness.
While Rei and Naomi sighed in relief, Saeko was surprised since... it felt like Isao had learned swordsmanship.
Moreover, his swordsmanship seemed to be beautiful and smooth.
Still, Rei glared at Naomi, causing her to lower her head, but Isao reminded her. "Look up."
This time, unlike before, Naomi looked up, but she didn't let out a voice. Still, her eyes were moist, clearly trying to hold back her tears.
Yet, whether it was Isao, Rei, or Saeko, no one thought to comfort Naomi.
As Isao had said before, Naomi was a burden.
Rei and Saeko agreed with his opinion, but Isao didn't give Naomi up.
If Naomi could just stay quietly on the Takagi estate, then there wouldn't be any problems, but she wished to get more, and crying definitely wouldn't get her anywhere.
Watching no one comfort her, Naomi knew that no one would baby or spoil her. Even Isao wouldn't say anything unless it was necessary since a voice would directly attract those "things" toward their direction. Inside her heart, she was crying and enduring this sadness while feeling regret that she had to come out to a dangerous place.
'If Takazo didn't go out... and also that Komuro...'
If Komuru didn't incite everyone to go out, then would something like this happen?
At the same time, Naomi also thought how stupid her boyfriend was.
Wasn't it good to just stay at the estate peacefully?
However, as she had decided to come out, she knew that she had to prepare herself or else she would bring misfortune to all of them.
"By the way, I haven't had breakfast. Let's stop at a nearby restaurant to eat," Isao suddenly said.
"..." Rei, Saeko, and Naomi.
Their lips twitched before they showed a helpless smile. This guy told them that they shouldn't let their guards down, but wasn't this guy too lax?
Yet, they didn't argue with him. They went to the nearby restaurant and closed the door tightly. As expected, the restaurant was empty; there was no one, and many pieces of furniture were clearly broken, showing the misfortune that had befallen the people inside.
"Isao-kun, you should rest there. I will be the one who cooks," Saeko said with a soft smile.
"Thanks, Senpai." Isao didn't argue and looked around the store curiously.
"I will help, too!" Rei quickly said.
"Me too!"
"Sure." Saeko nodded and didn't make an argument with them.
So, with that, the three made breakfast together, and fortunately, as it was a restaurant, there were many ingredients. While the condition of the ingredients wasn't top-notch, they were okay since they were kept inside the fridge.
Meanwhile, Isao browsed over the restaurants, trying to find something. Before he found several bottles, he thought of making a Molotov cocktail like he was making a Gundam model until Rei called him.
"Isao, the food is ready."
"Okay, thanks, Rei-senpai."
"No problem." Rei smiled, then looked at him curiously. "What are you making?"
"Molotov cocktail."
"...what?"
"Molotov cocktail."
"The one that is burnt?"
"That one."
"How about we eat first?"
"Okay."
Rei decided to give up thinking and pulled him to eat breakfast together.
The food was delicious, but the mood was strange since no one expected them to eat a warm breakfast at that moment. If there was a reason why they were able to do this, it was all because of Isao.
'As long as he's there, anything is possible.'
They thought inwardly and became more dependent on him.
On the other hand, Isao wondered what kind of business he should do in another world. He was in the Taisho Period, and he knew that there were many businesses that he could do, but what kind of business should he do first?
At the same time, while he prepared a Molotov cocktail, he also took some bottled gas since they could be used for many things.
Yet, watching him take so many weapons, they knew that this trip would be dangerous, and they definitely couldn't let their guard down.
"If possible, I want to go to the clothing store too."
"....." 3x
Well, they stopped thinking and just followed him obediently.
After eating breakfast, the four left and found an abandoned police car.
"Isao, let's go there."
Rei quickly pulled Isao and then looked inside. There were corpses of the police, but she didn't care and rummaged the inside before she found a pistol of the police, New Nambu M60.
"Oh, that's a great discovery."
"Hehehe..."
Being praised, Rei was happy.
"How about we go by this car too?"
"Eh? Can you drive?"
"Did you forget who drove the bus before?"
Isao also felt a little tired since he had brought many things, so he put the items on the back seat and the passenger seat on the side, entrusting them to Rei and Saeko.
"Be careful, Senpai."
"Leave it to me." Saeko carefully took the items that were given by Isao.
Naomi wanted to be entrusted, too, but in the end, she didn't say anything since she was afraid that she would cause trouble.
When everything settled, Isao started the car and drove them to the luxury department store. While driving, he turned on the audio player, which played "Stay with Me - Miki Matsubara."
"Seriously? Are we going to listen to music?" Rei was speechless.
"It's not like they can chase after us."
Isao drove the car smoothly as if he were on the highway.
While listening to the City Pop song, Rei, Saeko, and Naomi looked at those "things" that chased after them. The situation was bizarre, yet they had to say it was unique.
Still, when they arrived at the luxury department store, Isao directly crashed the car inside. According to his sense of smell and perception, there were no people inside, but there were still those things around. However, it didn't matter since it didn't stop them from changing their clothes.
Walking out of the car, Isao went to the clothing store of his choice, then changed his uniform to a simple, well-fitted black t-shirt, Levi's 501 jeans, and a denim jacket. He also changed his shoes into Timberland boots and took a G-Shock Watch with him.
"You are so handsome..." Rei murmured.
Isao smiled and took her lips secretly.
Rei blushed and leaned on him. "Jeez, be patient. Don't be here."
"I know." Isao patted Rei's buttocks and said, "Anyway, get your clothes."
"Okay!"
As a girl, naturally, whether it was Rei, Saeko, or Naomi, they were interested in clothes, so they took clothes they thought suitable for them and some other changes for the future.
Isao also took some branded clothes for souvenirs, such as Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc., and because of that, they had to change their car.
Fortunately, this was a luxury department store, so there was a car dealer, and they changed into a black Hummer H1.
Frankly, their trip was so smooth that it wasn't like they were in the apocalypse world.
Isao wondered whether it was because he had replicated the luck of Takashi Komuro. The combination of his luck and the luck of the protagonist of this world made him the luckiest man on the whole earth.
This thought made him wish to go back to the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" to replicate the luck of that world's protagonist.
Luck.
This was something conceptual, something invisible, but he knew that he could replicate it, especially when the data of the luck was clearly written on the panel created by his system.
However, as expected, while his luck was good, they met several men who held firearms and seemed ready to aim in their direction.
"Isao!"
"Why did they aim in our direction?"
"Watch out!"
Whether it was Rei, Saeko, or Naomi, they were tense because they didn't expect to be stopped by so many people. It was easy to tell that they didn't have good intentions, and once they were caught, they could imagine what kind of tragic ending would happen to them. At the same time, they also thought about Isao's words, which reminded them that their greatest enemies were humans.
Still, Isao remained calm, took the Molotov cocktail he had made before, and threw it in their direction.
Crash!
BOOOOOM!
The fire spread in every direction, causing some of those people to be burnt.
"Arggh!"
"Crazy! That one guy is crazy!"
"Shoot him! Shoot that guy!"
While some were burnt, some were able to escape and shoot in Isao's direction, but Isao only took the bottled gas and threw it into the direction of the fire before he controlled the car to move backward.
Then, as the bottled gas fell, the explosion happened.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
Isao changed the direction of the car and then controlled those "things" to kill all of those people. While it was a shame he couldn't get the weapons held by those people, it didn't matter since, in this world, he was invincible, and no one could defeat him.
Watching how smooth and strong Isao was, whether it was Rei, Saeko, or Naomi, they felt amazed, and their trust in him had already hit the max.
Only Saeko and Naomi narrowed their eyes when Rei leaned on Isao and held his arm tightly, showing their close relationship to everyone.
Glancing at the two girls who sat in the back area, Rei told them that Isao had been taken, and she wasn't going to let anyone have him.
'He's mine.'
Her eyes clearly told so.
On the other hand, Isao ignored their silent conflict since he was about to achieve his purpose, which was to go to university and get all the necessary knowledge for his future adventure.
