Chapter 36: Private conversation

The night passed quietly and calmly, which is amazing.

The evening rain turned into a real downpour with a strong wind and did not calm down until the morning.

It was quite cool, even cold. Due to the fact that I am very warm, Saeko and Shizuka literally stuck to me.

Realizing this, I also decided to lie down.

As a result, the two of them clung to me like snakes, pressing their bodies, throwing their legs and arms over me.

Comfortable meditation I'll tell you came out. No kidding, there's no need to complain.

Seriously, if someone found out that I was complaining about such a situation, I would immediately be burned at the stake as a heretic.

I meditated like this until the morning, because there is nothing else to do in this situation.

Although I was thinking of going to explore the territory for the presence of surprises and working water transport, but ... but it's better to guard the girls, otherwise anything happens. It's better that way than regret it later...

Slowly, the whole camp began to wake up.

I have already managed to free myself from captivity and cook breakfast. It remains only to wait for the others to wake up.

Yuriko was the first to stand among my group. She slept for quite a long time, and prana brought her body into an ideal state.

Opening her sleepy eyes, she frowned in bewilderment, apparently not understanding how she got here and what was going on at all.

Then the memories of yesterday's exodus, like an avalanche, covered the woman's mind.

I expected to see tears, emptiness or depression on her face. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

But she only frowned heavily, clasped her palms until they trembled and looked with a sad look into the void. Apparently analyzing the events that have occurred.

A strong woman

Then her eyes noticed me. For about a minute I watched as she stared at me intently and shifted her brows, thinking deeply.

In the end, her face took on a resolute expression and, standing up, Yuriko approached me. We need to talk. In private. She said in a serious and quiet tone.

- OK. I said serenely, and took her outside. I think she could use some fresh air right now.

As soon as I reached a deserted place, Yuriko immediately asked me.

What happened yesterday? What happened after I fainted?

And I started telling her everything that happened yesterday.

How the new creatures attacked, killed Soichiro and wounded her.

How people lost heart and almost became dinner for zombies.

How I, having taken everything under control, forced people to fight again.

She listened to me without interrupting. As the story progressed , various emotions flashed across her face Sadness, anger, fatigue, surprise and relief.

Not only that. Still, we managed to get closer to Yuriko-san. Besides, our team was going to leave you and go to the island. So there shouldn't be any problems. And it seems to me that you know the word gratitude and will not betray me.

Yuriko thought for a short while, looking at me. Then she gave it out.

Shiro-kun. I suggest you become the head of this camp. This woman said in a serious tone with determination in her voice.

I'm surprised. Seriously. I didn't think she would offer it to me. I expected her to ask me to stay with them, but not this.

"I'm sorry Yuriko-san, but no. You are now the new head of this settlement and these people have chosen you themselves. Besides, I still want to go to the island. And it seems to me that I am not suitable for this position.

I was chosen as the head only because I am Soichiro's wife. And people expect that I will be the head no worse than my husband... But now very dark times have come and it is extremely difficult for a woman to be in such a position. You understand that, don't you? I'm not even sure about my guards, because after Soichiro's death, they can do anything. she said seriously with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

Then you can leave with us. Saya is unlikely to leave you now, so this is not a bad option.

"I can't leave all these people to Shiro's fate. Yuriko shook her head I just can't... You'd better take my position. You're the best candidate for the head position. Strength, charisma, everything is with you. Even this magic. Who if not you? she said seriously, in a soft tone.

It was obvious that she was taking this very seriously. The determined gleam in her eyes shows that Yuriko is ready to kneel down and beg me.

Haaa Become the head, right?

I didn't even think about it.

I came to this universe to test the system in a world little different from my old one.

It seemed that the zombie apocalypse with these puny monsters was perfect for a test drive... Well, for Saeko's sake, too, there's nothing to hide here.

Everything was going perfectly until the apocalypse itself began. Zombies are developing, and radiation makes them stronger.

The threat of a nuclear winter or, conversely, unbearable heat by burning out the ozone layer, or something even worse.

Everything is not going according to plan.

I was just going to spend a quiet life on an island, developing various skills.

I've even managed to look for a good place and make a big cache there just in case.

Ah... But she's right about something. With my abilities, I can lead people.

But it's a thankless job to be a good ruler.

People quickly forget the good and remember only the bad. I'll have to literally force them to save themselves. Funny isn't it?

We will have to devote a lot of time to this case, which means less time will be devoted to training and relationships.

On the other hand, I could have assistants taking the load off me, and I don't have to be kind.

And even though it's not a quiet life, but what an experience

It's all complicated.

Yuriko was very nervous seeing that I was thinking in indecision.

This put pressure on the woman and finally, thinking Yuriko blurted out. If you become the head, then I will.... I'll give you my body. she said boldly and seriously. Her cheeks turned pink at the same time.

I hope I misheard
