Chapter 2 - Kiyori

Zombies start making chaotic noises outside the building.

Ryusaka says, "Forget everything. I should think of getting out of here first. This place doesn't look safe, and there might be other humans in this building too."

Before getting out, he grabs the metal rod that is hanging the curtain of the window. One edge of the rod is rusting, so he beats it on the floor to create a sharp point to use the rod as a self-defense weapon in case he encounters any zombie.

After that, he gets out of the room. He looks into the hallway to check if there is any zombie. He sees none and goes towards right.

Ryusaka says "As it seems I'm above the 10th floor of the building right now, so I should first find stairs or a lift to go down."

After moving for a while, Ryusaka finally finds a stairway that seems to lead downward, but there is a zombie near the stairs. The zombie is blind, so it cannot see Ryusaka.

Ryusaka slowly starts to walk towards the stairs without making any noise. He almost reaches the stairs but gets shocked when he sees a dead zombie lying on them and accidentally drops the metal rod. The zombie near the stairs hears the sound. Even though it is blind, it has inhuman hearing ability. It rushes towards Ryusaka.

Ryusaka runs down the stairs, stepping on the dead zombie's body lying on them. He reaches the hallway of the floor below and starts running straight towards the window to jump out of the building. Even though this seems like an absurd move, he has no other option, as the stairway for the floor below is completely broken.

While running towards the window, even more zombies start chasing him, which were wandering on that floor.

He almost reaches the window but falls to the ground as he gets a sudden injury in his knee because of running after having no physical movement at all for 11 years.

All the zombies come attacking him.

Ryusaka says, "So is this the end, just when I finally woke up after so long?"

The window shatters, and a person comes in through it.

An unknown person shouts, "Gravity-Plus!!"

All the zombies fall to the ground. The impact is so strong that it breaks the floor, and the zombies fall down.

Ryusaka is shocked. He cannot comprehend what just happened.

The person is revealed. She is a girl smiling like a maniac. She says, "I'm Kiyori. Are you alright, Mr… Patient?"

Ryusaka : "My name is Ryusaka Hajime."

Kiyori : "Mr. Ragimei, follow me."

Ryusaka : "It's Hajime! And what was that just now—"

Kiyori says, "Gravity Bubble."

Ryusaka starts floating and follows Kiyori.

Ryusaka : "Huhhhh!! How am I floating and wha—"

Kiyori just takes one step outside the window and starts traveling, with Ryusaka floating beside her at a speed brutal enough to shatter the ribs of any normal human.

Ryusaka shouts, "WHATTT THEEE!!!!! This speed is too much for any human body to handle! Hey, stop this!"

Kiyori says, "Quiet, Gajime. I have covered your body in a translucent gravity bubble that protects your body from shattering due to high-pressure and also makes you follow me at the exact speed I move."

Ryusaka says, "Huh? This bubble that looks like it's gonna pop just by a pin is gonna protect me?"

Kiyori : ...

Ryusaka : "Hey, say something! And how are we floating and moving at such high speed in the first place!?"

Kiyori : "Uhhhh!! Shut up for a while!"

Kiyori sees a building below her.

Kiyori says ,"We are here."

Ryusaka : "Wher—"

A person below waves towards Kiyori.

Kiyori goes at high speed towards that person.

Kiyori says, "Oh shit, I forgot to turn off my technique!"

Kiyori then pops Ryusaka's gravity bubble with a pin and turns off her technique.

They both start falling towards the ground.

Ryusaka shouts, "Haaah?? So you could pop that bubble with a pin?? And we are falling!!!!!!"

Kiyori says, "Relax. She will handle it."

Ryusaka : "What?… who she—??"

An unknown girl says, "Mythical Creature Summoning, Grandios!!"

Matter starts to appear out of nowhere and gathers to create a weird-looking creature out of nothing. The creature runs towards Ryusaka and Kiyori, then gets absorbed into the ground, making the ground a smooth, bouncing surface.

Ryusaka and Kiyori both land on the ground, bouncing.

Ryusaka says, "Woahhhhh… what the!! The ground is so bouncy and soft???"

Kiyori laughs and says, "Haaahahahaha!! Thanks, Yui! Great job as always!!"
