{TL note: Sei’s POV btw}
Wielding the 『Mithril Dagger』, Sei slowly approaches the male student。
「Jyaa！ Jyaaa！」
The male student’s body moves towards Sei in order to bite her。
「Haa…… Haa…… Haa……」
Her breathing gets rough。
「Haaaa…… Haaaa」
「Jyaaaaaaaaa」
She enters attacking range。
「Jyu jyaaaaaaaa」
「Haaaaa……！ Haaaa……！」
Sei’s breathing becomes progressively worse。
Even though she isn’t moving her body, her heart beats rapidly。
Her heartbeats resound all the way to her brain。
「Jyaa jyaa jyaaaaaaaa」 {TL note: I wish the SFX were better. Should I just make them up myself? I mean wtf is this? Is the zombie singing?}
Sei’s body starts shivering with a rattle。
There’s no way she’s cold。
Rather, she’s hot。 {TL note: the pun wasn’t present in Japanese lol}
As if her every drop of blood was screaming。
That she’s alive。
「Won’t you do it？」
With Shinji’s words, Sei’s body jumps for a moment as Shinji looks at her from behind。
「Acquaintance？」
「I-It’s not.」
「Oh, really.」
Shinji’s voice is truly cold。
While shivering, Sei puts up a stance with the dagger above her shoulders。
Now she only needs to swing。
More precisely, at the horn。 {TL note: Reminder that all corpse ogres are dead things that come back to life with a horn (like Japanese Oni)}
Like Shinji taught her。
When corpse ogres have their horn broken, they die。
Doing that makes their body collapse, scatter and disappear。
Just like Michiyama。
In order to not miss, Sei looks firmly at the male student。
「Ujyaaaauuua」
The male student raises an incomprehensible scream。
His eyes blank, he has a small horn on his forehead。
It’s a strange, abnormal sight。
That’s right, he’s dead。
He’s not alive。
「Jyaaaa！ Jyaaaaaaa！」
He tries to move his face upwards, downwards, right then left。
Slowly untangling himself out of the ice’s restriction, he tries to bite Sei。
The male corpse ogre continues to move his head。
No, it’s not just the head。
Looking closely, his arms, legs and whole body is moving。
The person’s moving。
He’s moving。 He’s moving。
The moving person is…
Alive。
「Uu…… Uu……」
Sei releases the dagger。
While rotating the 『Mithril Dagger』 falls to the ground, and without a sound lodges itself inside the floor。
Sei cries。
「…… What is it？」
She hears a voice coming from Shinji。
However that voice is still cold。
「…… I can’t do it.」
Sei’s voice squeezes out of her shivering body。
「At first, in the cafe, I wanted to defeat them。 If they are corpses, monsters that attack people, in order to not increase the number of people that would end up like me as well, I thought I had to defeat them…………」
Sei falls down in sitting position。
「But, I can’t do it！ After all, he’s moving？ He’s clearly strange but he’s moving？ If he’s moving, isn’t he alive？」 {TL note: I think this is realistic. Few women become soldiers. Much fewer can kill. My mom can’t kill spiders for God’s sake. As if any of us expected her, the traumatized, starved, indoctrinated, self-righteous teen to be useful in the apocalypse.}
Sei’s tears grow in size。
「If they’re moving, couldn’t there be a cure！ Even if it isn’t now, in the future could it not be found！ Then, even if I don’t defeat them……」
「There is one.」
Shinji tells her in the coldest tone he’s had til now。
「Wh…… What？」
For a moment, Sei doesn’t understand what Shinji said。
What there is。
He said that there is one, for something。
「The method to return corpse ogres back to their living state。 By drinking the so-called Resuscitation Potion, they’d be cured.」
「Wha-！？」
Sei stands up and grabs Shinji’s collar。
「…… Please say it once more.」
Sei glares at Shinji。
「…… There’s a Resuscitation Potion, using that will return corpse ogres to their previous living self。 Corpse ogres aren’t corpses that can’t be cured, but corpse that can be cured.」
Sei strikes Shinji’s face。
「……！」
Sei put too much strength in her fist, you couldn’t say it was skillful。
Shinji could see it coming clearly but didn’t dodge。
He had a hot sensation on his nose。
His nose bled out。
Shinji wipes it with his hand。
「…… What is that！ Why！ Why did you！ Not say it sooner！？ Before I tried to kill the corpse ogre, him！」
「Because I thought this is what would happen。 I thought Tokoharu-san wouldn’t kill corpse ogres then.」
If you can’t kill, it’s fine if you don’t。
Sei strikes Shinji’s face again。 {TL note: God damn it Shinji. Stop half explaining and then sacrificing HP for pride’s sake.}
「’Spank’！」
Shinji’s nosebleed gets stuck on Sei’s fist。
Sei knew Shinji purposely did not dodge。
However this quarrel wouldn’t end just like this。
「…… Please hand it to me.」
Without looking at Shinji’s face, Sei only hands out her hands towards him。
「The resuscitation potion, the medicine to cure them, you have it right？ If you know such a thing it must mean that you have one right？ Please hand it to me.」
Sei’s true feeling is that she wants it to have one。
If he had the resuscitation potion, by giving it to her, she thought she could still forgive Shinji。 {TL NOTE: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA, SELFISH BITCH!}
「…… I don’t have it。 I can prepare one though.」
Still not showing emotion, Shinji tells Sei with an irritated, cold tone。
「If you can prepare one, please do so immediately。 Then give it to me！」
「After I give it, what will you do？」
「Isn’t it obvious I’ll use it to save everybody！？」 {TL note: Don’t laugh. It’s bad to laugh at people with less than half your own IQ.}
「…… Even with just one potion？」
Sei looks at Shinji’s face。
It’s bloodstained。
「…… It’s not like that。 To be exact, I can only prepare one.」
「…… What is the meaning of that？」
Shinji starts up the tablet, and takes out a health potion。
「Have I spoken about the points？ By defeating corpse ogres or exchanging cash, you get points to exchange for health potions for example but……」
Shinji drinks the health potion。
「…… Bitter。…… Well, with those points, you can also get resuscitation potions.」
「…… And so？」
「One million yen.」 {TL note: 1’000’000 Yen = 9222 US Dollar}
Shinji takes out a towel and water from the tablet, and wipes his wet face。
「With points that’s 10 thousand points。 That’s the price of the resuscitation potion。 By the way, the points I have now are approximately 10’900 points. I can only get one resuscitation potion.」
「…… Then, please hand out that one potion.」
「Who will you use it on？」
Sei pauses at Shinji’s question。
「There’s only one, precious, precious resuscitation potion。 Who will you use it on？ Is ‘everyone’, that unknown male student？」
Shinji points his finger at the male student Sei couldn’t previously kill。
「Or is it perhaps your friend in the cafe？ Or perhaps……」
「For some boy you like whose fate is unknown?」
Sei launches a kick at Shinji’s face。
However Shinji caught that kick。
Sei:「…… You’re the worst huh.」
Sei’s face is bright red。
Shinji:「That you are.」 {TL note : Finally!}
Shinji spits out those words on her。
「What part of me is……！」
「The same way you have important people, I too have people I’d want to use the resuscitation potion onto if they were dead.」
Shinji throws away Sei’s foot。
「My parents, Kotarou…… If those 3 people became corpse ogres, I’d need 30 thousand points to cure them。 My current points are no way near enough.」 {TL note: MC’s friend (Riajuu #1) Yamada Kotarou}
Shinji approaches the frozen male student。
「Furthermore, if I had 10 thousand points, I could also have powerful weapons like these paired swords。 Health potions as well, points。 Magic as well, points。 If I have no more food, I’ll use points for food as well。 No matter how many points I have it’s not enough。 They’d run out。 That’s why I won’t think about curing everyone。 That surplus, I do not have。 That would never be 『peaceful』.」 {TL note: Peaceful/Comfortable/Easy}
Shinji breaks the corpse ogre’s horn with his palm。 {TL note: Holy shit. Is he becoming a Chinese MC all of a sudden?!}
「Ah……！」
The male student with a broken horn disappears without a trace and leaves only the broken horn。
「If you break the horn, only the horn remains, then even the resuscitation potion can’t be used.」
Shinji picks up the fallen horn。
「Before coming here I think I told you, from here on it’s self responsibility。 Killing corpse ogres, getting killed by them as well。 You’re free。 If you want to go back to the cafe, then I’ll escort you til the stairs.」
Shinji had his palm open towards Sei, pointing the stairs。
This Shinji’s way of talking, his actions, were like he was forsaking Sei, throwing her away, coldly。
