章 5: Instigate
Miyamoto Rei's expectations for Igou Hisashi is overwhelming. But as time went on, she saw something strange with him.
There was no response from him.
"Hisashi!" Miyamoto Rei called out as she tried to get a response from him.
Igou Hisashi didn't respond, and his body movement was very strange as he slowly walked toward her.
"No way." Rei couldn't accept it.
"This isn't happening. There's no way." She tried to deny it once again.
"This is really unbelievable," Komuro Takashi responded to her self-talk helplessly, "So unbelievable that it's stupid."
"Takashi…," She called out his name, hoping he would say that everything is a lie.
"But…" Takashi said as he slowly walked towards the zombified Hisashi.
"Stop," she pleads.
"...it really is happening!" He completed his sentence and rushed towards zombified Hisashi with a shout, "*haaaa*"
Takashi struck the zombified Hisashi head. The head blew up like a broken balloon. Blood, bone fragments, brain liquid, and brain tissue flew all over the place.
That's a lie of course.
There was only some blood splatting on the floor.
Finally, the moment for the childhood breakup appears.
How will Komuro Takashi explain to Miyamoto Rei?
How will Miyamoto Rei treat Komuro Takashi from now on?
With him here, the two of them shouldn't even think about getting together or along with each other!
"Why… Why…" Rei questioned as she leaned lifelessly in Ye Sato's embrace.
Now, Komuro Takashi, how will you answer her question.
Will you say the same answer as in anime?
Or will you ignore her question?
Or do you want to think of a different answer?
Sato couldn't wait to hear it.
"You would've been eaten if I hadn't," he answered.
Boring!
Komuro Takashi still decided to use the same lame excuse, like in anime.
With him protecting Rei, how could she possibly be eaten?
If their talk continues in this way, then their relationship will eventually end up like in anime.
Naturally, Sato won't let it happen.
"I would've protected her." He pointed out.
Suddenly having a third party join their dispute, Rei and Takashi were stunned. And with him holding her intimate in his embrace, it just made his word more trustworthy.
Right at this moment, Takashi felt really angry.
Looking at Ye Sato who held Miyamoto Rei really provoked him.
At first, it was Igou Hisashi who stole his crush. Then a new guy suddenly popped up from nowhere and is taking his crush.
How could he accept it?
Komuro Takashi could still hold his anger when Igou Hisashi took his crush since they were best friends.
But who is Ye Sato?
Komuro Takashi only knew him for less than a day. How could he accept him stealing his crush?
"Why are you holding Rei?!" He questioned furiously.
"Right now she is mentally unstable. Who knows if she will suddenly jump off the building. So I am now holding her, to make sure she doesn't do something stupid. Why are you even asking such a stupid question?" Ye Sato said confidently as if it was something obvious.
Looking at the proud Sato, Takashi felt his IQ challenged.
"I am not mentally unstable and I won't do something stupid like jumping off the building!" Miyamoto Rei refuted.
Ye Sato rolled his eyes and said, "Your answer is not very convincing. It's like a drunk person saying they are not drunk."
"..." She was left speechless.
Noticing that she didn't refute, Takashi felt the anger inside him burn harder.
If it's someone who should be holding her, then it should be him, Komuro Takashi!
"Release her! I will hold her!" Takashi commanded.
"Maybe she doesn't want you to hold her. Like how she doesn't want you to save her," he responded.
"What Ye-san said is true! I didn't want you to save me," said Rei, then continued in a crying voice, "I didn't want to see him like this! I would've rather gotten bitten by Hisashi and become one of them than live like this!"
"You hear that? She doesn't want you!" Sato added, not afraid the situation isn't tense enough.
"What…" Komuro Takashi was dumbfounded.
How could she jump into another man's embrace, right after her boyfriend died?
Shouldn't she feel sad and heartbroken?
And if she's going to jump, then shouldn't she jump into her ex-crush's arms!?
Why did she choose a guy she knew for less than a day?
Komuro Takashi was completely dazed.
Because Ye Sato shifted their subject unnoticed, Takashi lost focus on what their talk was about.
Rei never said anything about allowing Sato to embrace her, but she did agree to one of his statements.
And her one agreement gave Takashi the picture of Rei allowing Sato to embrace her.
"I don't think Hisashi wanted that!" He said furiously, at the same time feeling that she had betrayed him.
The same sentence as in anime, but a different meaning.
What Takashi meant was that Hisashi doesn't want Rei to throw herself into another man's embrace.
But what Rei understood was Takashi inferring Hisashi doesn't want her to turn into a zombie.
If not because of Ye Sato messing with Komuro Takashi, then his intention would have been that Hisashi doesn't want Rei to turn into a zombie.
Unlucky for Komuro Takashi, who told him to encounter this villain, Ye Sato.
"Oh please Takashi, what do you know?" Rei asked sarcastically.
Komuro Takashi is now feeling completely lost and heartbroken.
He is really bad at understanding people's emotions or how else could you explain, he didn't admit his feelings for her?
If he could understand, then he would have known, if he didn't admit his feelings for her, then she will leave him and turn her attention to his best friend—Igou Hisashi.
The reason he felt lost was that Hisashi may have wanted Rei to find a new guy, after his death. And the reason he's heartbroken is that the new guy she chose is not him.
"Oh right. Yeah, That's it," Rei murmured as she suddenly felt like she understood something and said hatefully, "You must've really hated him! Since we were dating!"
Her words didn't make the misunderstanding better, but worse. But that's exactly what Ye Sato wanted.
Komuro Takashi felt that if this situation continued, then he would definitely lose her, so he decided to make a desperate choice. He turned around and walked towards the barricade.
Feeling something was wrong, she couldn't help asking, "Wait, where are you going?"
Ye Sato will of course not let his plan go smoothly.
Without giving Takashi a chance to answer, he replied, "He is probably feeling guilty because you pointed out his thoughts, so he is now trying to take extreme measures."
Komuro Takashi felt enraged. This new guy is provoking their relationship over and over again. And this guy is now pushing him at the edge.
If Rei wasn't here, then he would have given this new guy a beating!
Suppressing his anger, Takashi ignored Sato and said, "I feel like I'm bothering you. So… I'm gonna go smash some heads."
As Komuro Takashi finished, he turned to the corner where the barricade was.
To further discredit Takashi, he whispered, "Do you see that? I told you he will take extreme measures because of guilt and now he is doing exactly what I said."
"I knew it! I knew he was that kind of a guy, that's why I didn't date him!" she said hatefully.
Nice follow-up!
If she was calm, then she would have never said such a word.
Only in this situation, where she isn't completely sane, would she say something like this.
But this isn't enough to destroy their relationship. So Ye Sato prepared to further instigate their relationship and completely break it.

InJustThis Some may have noticed, but I uploaded the same chapter.
I think the only way to atone for my mistake is kneeling on a washboard. xD
