Time goes back a little.

While Kazuto and Ichinose were sleeping in a recoil of fatigue and skill, Fujita and others were running to accomplish the quest.

Defeating two named monsters does not mean that the conditions have been fully achieved.

In addition to those two crusades, city hall conditions will not be achieved unless hundreds of residents and hundreds of Demon Stones are secured.

Last day of time limit.

We mobilized all the personnel we could move, and they secured the numbers.

"Huh, do you have a purpose..."

Fujita smokes while sitting on a barricade set on the outer edge of City Hall.

The time is dusk.

The residents' security had finally been completed.

The final number was one hundred and twenty, including the people who had been at City Hall until then.

number of people well above the target value.

If you are a demon stone, it was no problem because you are lumpily defeating the monster of the ants.

Residents gushed after being informed by the mayor of the achievement of the conditions.

This will maintain the 'Safe Zone'.

Moreover, there was no time limit attached to the conditions for the next level up.

You'll be able to solidify your feet slowly for a while.

Spitting purple smoke, Fujita looks up at the sky stained at dusk.

"Saito, Toshima, Kamazaki, Tanaka, Izumi, Kumaya... the place you guys wanted to protect could be safely protected..."

The name Fujita named today is a member of City Hall who died in action during the Alpa attack.

Freshwater colleagues and Nishino's group also had a large number of deaths, but the sentiments are also different when it comes to the deaths of those who acted together from the beginning.

Some of the dead left their families in this city hall.

When I told him I was dead in battle, some cried down and grabbed and beat down by Fujita.

I don't have the muscle to be beaten if I should, but Fujita nevertheless spoiled and accepted.

"It won't stay..."

Fujita singles as she rubs her battered cheek.

I'd at least like to get it under the family left with just the wreckage, but that's not done yet either.

Because there's more to be done than that.

It's really a fucking drooling, shitty world.

"Anyway, I need to decide on future policies..."

The quest was accomplished and safety was maintained.

So how should we move next?

We need to discuss it with the mayor and Shimizu et al and make a careful decision.

Whether you want to consolidate the ground or explore the surroundings, all you need is information.

Information on powerful monsters, especially those like Titan and Alpa, leads directly to their survival.

"It's time for him to throw up..."

"Anxiety" I can't leave with stuck to Fujita's head all the time.

- Why is the militia devastated?

None of the surviving militia members ever opened their mouths.

Everybody shut their blue mouths and didn't try to talk sole.

That means that all that 'threat' exists in the neighbouring town.

What's in the next town?

To enquire about it, Fujita headed under Towada, his best friend and militia captain.

Nishino and Roppo, meanwhile, were at the critical junction of the 'Safe Zone'.

"This is the last place you're gonna be."

"Oh."

Nishino pierces the ground with a pole in his hand.

This pole is erected to surround a radius of approximately two hundred meters from City Hall.

Indicators for viewing the boundary between the Safe Zone and the Outside.

"Ha - I'm tired... You don't have time to rest at all after the fight."

"You won't have a choice, we're short on manpower. Besides, with a little more effort, I can also make time to move freely. Until then, patience."

"Ugh... I know."

Nishino thinks about the future as he forgives Roppo.

Maintaining the City Hall base was a success.

From now on, while working with Fujita and others, I intend to look for the deviant companions that are the original purpose.

(Although, Ono is the only one who doesn't hear from me anymore)

On the other hand, I don't think he would worry, but he does feel like doing it.

In the fight against Alpa, they were also to make fewer sacrifices.

We also have to be stronger to keep our people from dying any longer.

(Looking for Ono, level up and gather information for a while...)

Painful lack of power in the fight against the Alpa.

Without the intervention of Fujita and others, Roppa would undoubtedly have died.

I'm sorry about that thought again.

(You should also look at strength other than 'Commander'...)

If we could get a second profession like Kazuto and Ichinose, our strategy and strength would be much better than they are now.

It's still unclear how Cuzto got all those diverse skills and professions, but he's got predictions. Besides, I also know that Ichinose acquired a second profession and skills by "Gacha".

This means that there are other ways to gain SP, JP, occupation and skills besides level up.

(Probably the skill Mr. Kazt has is experience, or gained points...)

That explains the variety of skills that don't match that level.

We also considered the possibility of 'robbery' based skills that would deprive others of their skills, but then we would have been deprived of our skills.

More importantly, that's hard to think about given the Kazuto crowd you've been dealing with.

(Besides, Mr. Kazt probably also has an 'item box'. I want to avoid situations that would stir up the relationship as much as possible...)

He must have been the one who uprooted the perimeter supplies when he was caged in the home center.

If so, they should have considerable supplies.

I want to stay connected with Kazuto at all costs.

(Also for Rokkawa (Itsuka)...)

I don't want to do anything to make her sad that she's finally reunited with her best friend.

That was his true intent without lies or lies.

"Hey, Nissy, get back here! I just want to take a shower."

Nishino laughs bitterly when he sees Roppo wave to swallow.

"... Damn, you don't even know people's minds"

"Hmm? What?

"Nothing. I'm on my way."

Oh, boy, he said.

Nishino rushed to the bottom of the Roppo.

- Thirsty.

Thirsty.

Fluffy, the boy wandered all the way around town.

Full sky if you look up.

The light of the stars is blinking, illuminating the darkness of night.

"Ha... ha..."

I hold my neck desperately with my trembling hands and repeat my shallow breath with Hiuuuuuuuuuuu.

No one's here. Enter the convenience store.

The boy opens the lid of a pet bottle in his hand and drinks up the water inside to bathe.

But not enough.

Drink water, can of coffee, tea, and sports drinks from one end anyway, but 'thirst' never subsides.

What the hell has happened to me?

"Guys... where are you..."

Since then.

That abominable event that stabbed the boys who thought the boy was one of them with a knife and dyed their hands in blood.

Since then, the boy has always been frightened and blamed for something.

- I killed him.

"No, no!

- You killed a man. I killed the boys who were with me.

"No, no! No, no, no, no!

What you hear is a voice, a voice, a voice that blames itself.

"I'm not bad... I'm not bad, I'm not bad, I'm not bad, I'm not bad"

Words that are repeated like curses over and over again.

My nails eat in, and I hold my own arms so much that my blood bleeds.

Thirsty, thirsty.

Repeat the shallow breath with Hiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, weeping and begging forgiveness for something you can't even see.

Why should I suffer so much?

It's self-defense.

So I'm not bad. That should do it.

Yes, I make excuses to myself many times.

"Somebody... Somebody help me..."

The boy's spirit had reached the limit of being 'broken' in one more step.

"... hmm?

Two, something shows up in the boy's eyes.

Slowly approach and pick up the sole.

It was an extremely small demonic stone.

"Ah..."

Sagging, and throat ringing.

I wonder why?

In the boy's eyes, this demonic stone looked like a treat that seemed more to the effect than any thick steak.

"Agu... ngu, ngu... very"

The boy chews and swallows the Demon Stone without hesitation.

The stone, which should be hard, could be shattered surprisingly lightly.

As if instincts and bodies that had until then refused to do so 'accepted' the sole.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

Then what do you think?

The hunger and thirst that my body had complained about earlier drew like lies.

On the contrary, how about an almighty feeling rising from this body?

"... delicious..."

I want to eat.

I want to taste more.

Turn your gaze, there was a goblin.

Approaching with a fluttering, indelible foothold, poking from behind.

Kill the goblins lightly.

"You've earned experience."

"Oonoketa's LV has gone up from 11 to 12."

The announcement rings and the demon stone rolls at his feet.

"Agoo... ngoo..."

The boy eats the Demon Stone without getting lost.

Delicious, delicious, delicious.

Strength builds all over his body, and the guilt he felt until then pulls him off like a lie.

The boy was intoxicated by the all-powerful feeling.

"More... more..."

As instincts go, the boy keeps hunting monsters

Kill zombies, kill goblins, kill orcs, kill Lesser Wolf.

I killed him, I killed him, I killed him, I killed him.

The demonic stone dropped by the monster took away the guilt from the boy and gave him a sense of almighty.

"We have confirmed the intake of more than a certain amount of Demon Stone."

"Certain conditions have been met."

"The Onoketa race mutates from 'man' to 'corpse ghost'."

"Confirm the first 'mutation' in Chaos Frontier."

Benefits will be awarded:

"Skill 'Jealousy' acquired:

"Ha... haha... what is it? How could I have ever suffered so much? Don't they deserve to die?"

I could only blame myself for how long I couldn't hear the 'voice' and my guilt was gone.

Did you kill people? What's that?

How could I have ever been trapped in such a 'trivial thing'?

"Wait... Nishino, Shibata, Rokuka, and Minna..."

Fix the glasses discrepancy and the boy gets up.

Makimuki and his body are made.

The bloody skin is gradually blue-white.

Black hair is as gray as a deceased.

The light that floats in the orbit becomes red and cloudy.

"I ha... mada raw kitelkara..."

And the thing that was a boy started walking.
