As we headed for the exit door, a blond man with a rather feverish body stood in front of us. He looked at us and said these words: "You will do everything I tell you. If you obey me I will prepare a nice death for you. If not, I will make you suffer.
CHAPTER 7
"Why should we obey you since you are going to kill us either way?"
Enraged, he shouted at me "SHUT FU** UP! Otherwise I'll kill you right away".
Toshiko held my hand and asked me to stop provoking him. The world had changed and so had the humans.
I took a deep breath and said to my attacker "Is killing us really your goal?"
"What do you mean? "
"You don't have to threaten us with a gun just to get us to put you up and give you food."
He turned pale then kissed his gun. "How did you guess that? But then you don't mind putting me up before the five days are up?"
"I see. You haven't managed to kill any humans yet either."
"Yes, that's right, and I don't think I'm going to make it by the way."
Even though I knew I was in a dream the action of killing someone did not sit well with me.
"Okay, I'll take you in."
Toshiko then said, "Hey I'll have you know this is my house!"
{If he thinks I'm actually looking for him to put me up, that's fine with me. I'll have less trouble killing them}.
That's probably what that young man who wanted to kill us a few seconds ago is thinking.
For this reason, I asked him to give me his weapon to avoid any misunderstanding.
"I want to give it to you, but who says that you won't take advantage of it to kill me?"
He is not wrong, these arguments are valid.
"You see this girl, her name is Toshiko. We are allies and we won't split up for anything in the world.
Toshiko was touched by my words.
"If I kill you, nothing says that Toshiko will also have her bill validated. I gain nothing by killing you. Except the loss of an ally and a potential ally."
"Very well, you have convinced me. I hope you are telling the truth."
So he handed me his gun and told me his first name. "My name is Naoki, nice to meet you."
"Likewise, my name is Yume."
For the moment, the agreement seemed to work.
So we went back to Toshiko's house to have a feast as Naoki said. He wants us to enjoy our last moments.
"There are only 2 days left..." Said Naoki
Toshiko was not of the same opinion and look for body and soul a solution "What are we going to do Yume you have an idea in mind?"
"In truth, there are two things that concern me. The first one is not important at the moment. As for the second..."
"Tell us you thought of Yume!"
"Well on my integration mission, I was aiming to save an old lady from death. Why would he now ask us to kill a person? It's irrational..."
"You are breaking your head for nothing in any case if we do nothing we will die and personally I intend to do nothing" said Naoki
The days passed quickly, we were now the day of the end of the first pay and we still did not kill any human.
"It will come soon."
Indeed after these words, the notification window surfaced.
[Your first Pay is over!
Please go to the location for the results.

In any case it was a real pleasure to have known you" said Naoki. "Too bad it has to end like this".
We leave Toshiko's house and reluctantly head straight to our death.
