Nishino was having dinner in the dining room that night with his gathered companions.

The menu is curry.

Since the electricity was restored and large cookers and electric stoves for business use were available, the range of dishes and ingredients that could be used expanded dramatically.

Nevertheless, the items that inevitably can be made are limited because we have to cover close to a few dozen people, but the curry that we eat for a long time was still delicious enough to make me cry.

(Shimizu said you were excited to nourish Ying Chi...)

A casual menu at no cost of 300 yen per person.

But everyone, all of them gathered together, city hall officials, is obsessed with curry cheeks.

Her aim would be quite right.

By the way, the person in question worked in the service, wearing a cloth towel on his head with the other women.

"Oh, no, no, no."

"Right... swallow it properly and then talk"

"Whoops... Ngu"

"Damn, it's on your cheek. I'll wipe you down. Stay still."

I'll wipe the cheeks of the six flowers with a handkerchief in my hand.

"Thanks, Nissy. I'll give you some carrots to thank you for."

"I guess that's just pushing me because you can't eat it. Don't like or dislike it. Eat properly."

"Bu."

"It's not boo, I want to..."

Even so, half of it was Nishino, who would eat for you.

By the way, my friends around me are staring at Nimanima, but he's not aware of it.

"Everybody, listen while you eat. Tomorrow's battle."

When he says that, everyone's face changes.

While moving the spoon, the gaze concentrates on the western field.

"The operations of the mayor and Mr. Shimizu are somewhat predictable. On top of that, I want you all to be aware of a few things."

Explain the anticipated operation, the role they will play, the power of City Hall, and more to their peers.

Everyone listens to Nishino as he leaks word for word.

Only then will we know how much he is trusted by everyone from time to time.

"- That's it. And one - no, you two. More of our people. I'm supposed to meet you later."

"Heh, what kind of guy is he?

What I asked was a girl who looked like a gal, just like Roppo.

"The first is Natsu Ichinose. You know that because you were in the same class, right?

"What!? Oh, that girl?

When I hear that name, she gets a surprised look.

Other members have similar expressions.

It was a common perception among them that Ichinose dropped out of school on a fig and it was Roppo who was leading it.

Nishino would have expected that reaction. Look at the six flowers.

"Rokka, can I talk to you?

"... yeah"

So solve that misunderstanding first.

Nishino, with Roppo's consent, explained to his peers the relationship and differences between her and Ichinose.

After finishing explaining everything, the gal-like girl groaned with regret.

"Oh, well, you did.... I have to apologize. Me, I've been afraid to get involved and pretend not to see it..."

"Me too. I finally know why Ono was so desperate to move."

"Damn, the guys who were jerking off, next time I see you, don't just...!

Others also utter apologies to Ichinose and anger at the perpetrators.

They fall under the category of "failures" or "defects" in school, but they still have the usual feelings of wanting to take care of their peers.

"And the other one... we have a little situation here. I might be a little late."

"What do you mean?

"Oh, actually -"

Nishino explained the reasons appropriately so that if Kazuto came disguised as Ichinose and if he brought the 'real girlfriend', there would be no interference with his fellow upsets or maneuvers in either case.

This is not because Kazt asked for it, but because he made it maneuverable so that the confusion could be kept to a minimum.

(That would be a good explanation for everyone for now. Mr. Kazuto told me not to speak to City Hall or Shimizu, but how can I delude this one......)

Ha, and Nishino sighs in his heart.

Stupid as to why he had to be so distracted, but he just had to move like that because he thought it was best.

Anyway, Kazuto and Ichinose had too much flavor for him.

High levels of diverse occupations and skills, besides monsters, will outperform us by far in their overall combat abilities.

Nishino understood that we couldn't win when we were in a bunch.

('Orders' don't work in any way, and if you disobey them, I don't know what Rokka, our main force, will say... I've been in contact with this one thinking so far, so he's a really big guy...)

It is so surprising that we were not able to bring subordination, not to fight together.

With all that power, we could have held ourselves from our heads like Chairman Fifty Storms.

(Said it was a trial period, but I think it's probably to get a more accurate idea of our power...)

I'm sure you'll find out in this fight if you deserve to put your hands together.

But that's just what I want as Nishino.

On the contrary, I guess it's just enough to identify the other power and be in the mood to use it.

(Phew, I'm counting on you, Mr. Kudo...)

To be clear, this just happened almost by accident, but Nishino doesn't realize it.

Seriously, it was his bad habit to read in depth just when his head turned.

Seeing him like that, Rokka gently transferred the carrot to his plate.

Nijomomo was on the roof of City Hall.

Dinner was served early and he was replaced by a watch.

The reason is to make some time to explore.

Ever since this happened to the world, she's been looking for one man.

Kudokazuto, who was her former colleague and senior.

"... kushu"

Cold night breezes stroke my cheeks.

It's only May. The night cools down.

"Ha... in the end, I only have no clue today or anything..."

It's been three days since I got here.

I'm out exploring with my colleagues, as I do every day, but I haven't found a clue as to who I'm looking for yet.

My colleagues say I should give up now, but she never tried to give up.

That man is alive. Live, I'm sure I'll see you again.

Believe it or not, I don't doubt it.

"Seniors..."

Tomorrow is a showdown with the ants.

It will be a fiercer fight than ever before.

Someone could die.

The person could be himself.

(I don't - I absolutely don't like that)

Survive.

You're definitely gonna live and see that guy again.

To that guy who spoke to me who had no place in the company.

I greet her with a casual greeting, a casual conversation, a casual relationship, and meet that person who gave me the warmth of a casual sunshine. Meet me and tell me what you think this time.

So I have to survive.

Grab a fist in front of your chest.

"Kazuo Senior... where are you...?

- I want to see you.

Such a grunt did not reach anyone's ear and melted into the darkness of the night.

Actually, I've already met her, but it's a little further before she realizes about it.

City Hall exterior walls.

So Cuzto's former colleagues were smoking.

There's no one to blame for smoking indoors, but it's kind of like a habit.

Sometimes this is the best place to tell a story you don't want to be asked about.

That is, for example, stupidity or dissatisfaction.

"Ha... Dali, I don't know. Hey, what are we gonna do about tomorrow's operation?

"Whether you do it or not, you have to leave."

"But wow, it's a more dangerous operation than ever, isn't it?

"Wouldn't the mayor and Shimizu think a lot about that area? She's been acting strangely ever since she got here."

"Uh, I guess. That Fujita is weirdly strained to be in front of the old man, and maybe you care?

"Ugh, bad taste. What's so good about an old man like that?

They laugh nasty that it must be.

"By and large, why do we have to work so hard? That's usually the job of a militia or a police officer. Work at times like this."

"So it's because they died collectively. Seriously, I can't use it."

What they were saying was true in a way.

There are police stations near City Hall, but most police officers are already dead.

It was ravaged by monsters and golems before skills and stats were discovered.

All I can say is that if we had survived, we would have definitely had a powerful power in our hands, but we would have had a bad patrol.

"We're desperately trying, and I want something to reward you..."

"It's a reward... for example?

"That's the woman. I haven't been busy since this world, and I've been accumulating. I don't care if it's fresh water or two, so I was wondering if you could treat me like a jerk..."

"Oh, then I'd like that new blonde girl. You open it with your chest, and if you ask me, you'll let me fuck you, right?

"I prefer a daughter with a gun. Yeah, you know, just because you look like an adult, you can be tough."

Each speaks his own desire.

But I'm just saying it.

The stupidity here is like a gas drain, and if we behave ourselves, it bounces back on us. It was common sense and even they meant to understand it properly.

- At least not until this time today.

"If so... why don't you really run it?

That's what one of you who smoked said.

"What? What are you talking about, you?

"No, actually, today's exploration takes me to a higher level. I got some funny 'skills'."

He is happy to explain the skills he has acquired.

The ability, and the excellence, they were pompous at first, too, gradually changed that look.

"... are you serious about that?

"You bet. This is the situation in the first place. It's not funny what happened, is it? If it is, then he who likes to live wins. What do you say, you guys?

He looks around at his colleagues.

It was them who were only a little silent,

"... yes, fine, I got on!

"Oh, me."

"Right. I hope you found it a little delicious."

Endorsed with one, and another, and all raised their hands.

As a result, he nodded satisfactorily.

"All right, well, let's try to reward you tomorrow."

"" "Oooh" "

In their eyes, throwing down tobacco, there was uniformly an ever-blackening desire swirling.

And... there was someone staring at them like that.

rooftop of the building a short distance from City Hall.

There he is.

"Ha ha, it's still funny how humans are. There's so much reason, so much intelligence, why isn't there any cohesion? No, or the other way around? Will you stop putting emphasis on everything because you want individual...... Hey, what an 'arrogant' way to be. I never get tired of watching it."

With a niyanya and an inorganic grin, 'He' keeps looking at City Hall.

"But I got in trouble. I thought I'd get tons of experience, but I can't believe it's a restricted area."

So 'he' sees his feet.

"Don't you think so, hey -" Titan ""

"Borlululu......"

A low groan sounds.

As I responded to that voice, the building where 'he' stood swayed.

"Whoa, stop hitting the eight, will you? I understand it's frustrating, but it's the people over there who should be pointing that spear. Wouldn't you?

The shake subsided when 'he' said so in a slight panic.

"Yeah, it's fast and helpful"

"- urrrrrrrrr......"

"Oh, I know. It's okay. There's a good way to break through that off-limits zone."

"Borlulu......?

"Is that true? But this is the only way you can do it. I regret it, but I still don't have that power. That's why I spoke up. Unlike those queen ants and black wolves, you're helpful because you understand the story."

"- Thurl......"

"Never mind. Eh, what do you mean at times like this...?

Think often he remembers.

"Oh, yeah -" When we're in trouble, we're each other ”right?

And the night dawns.

The seventh curtain rises.
