Isao didn't hold back this time and drove as fast as he could, bulldozing what was in front of him.
"Do we have to be so fast like this?" Shizuka asked nervously, and her breasts shook violently due to the impact that came from the truck that moved so fast.
"We do."
Unexpectedly, the one who answered wasn't Isao, but Yuriko.
"Nothing will happen, right? There are walls that surround the estate. Those "things" won't enter."
Even if an EMP happened and busted all the electrical equipment in the entire country, nothing serious would happen to the estate, especially since it was surrounded by many walls.
Those walls also weren't electrical equipment. Instead, they were made from concrete and wires.
In conclusion, even if the EMP happened, it wouldn't do much to the walls, and those "things" wouldn't be able to enter.
Yuriko looked at her daughter, then nodded. "You are right, but I am just worried, so it is better to go back early, right?"
"Well, that's true."
Unlike their group that had Isao, Saya could imagine that many would be in a panic when the EMP happened on the estate, but her father wasn't a useless man. Her father was a charismatic man who could lead a nationalistic politician group in this country.
Yuriko also knew that with her husband, nothing would happen, especially when she knew how reliable he was.
However, Isao, who was driving, was speechless since those heroines really loved to create a jinx. Still, he might also think too much since he had always assumed that a protagonist always attracted trouble, but was it the case?
In the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" previously, Tanjiro's life, except when his family was attacked by Muzan in the beginning, was all fine. Nothing was wrong, and after everything was over, he was like any ordinary young man who studied hard for his future.
Moreover, he could tell that Takashi Komuro tried to change to the better one.
Yet, somehow, he just couldn't shake the feelings in his heart. It was as if his instinct; he wasn't sure what it was, but he knew that it was there, something dangerous, and as expected, when he saw the billowing black clouds in the distance at the direction of the estate, he knew that the plot was coming.
On the other hand, those who stayed on the estate met serious trouble.
As the electrical equipment was busted due to EMP, many were in panic, especially those who needed the help of medical equipment to stay alive. Everyone was also confused, wondering what was happening, and even worse, when the group of Hirano, Takuzo, and Takashi entered the estate in panic, the situation became much worse.
"What's happening?"
The guards looked at the three with doubt.
"H-Hurry up and close the gate!"
"Ha?"
"HURRY UP OR ELSE THEY WILL COME!" Takashi shouted with all of his might to show the seriousness of the problem they encountered.
Everyone who guarded the walls previously and those who moved out items from the bus, except for the three, had died, and they were the only ones who could run away, escaping from the danger, but even so, they wouldn't let anyone meet the same situation once again!
They had to save everyone!
However, as Takashi shouted, the roar of a group of those "things" could be seen, and all of them were about to enter the estate!
Without even Takashi's roar, those adults also quickly tried to close the gate of the gate.
"Huh?! Why the remote is broken at this moment!?"
The one who held the remote that controlled the gate was in a little panic when he saw the gate couldn't be closed with the remote.
"Use your hands! Close the gate, hurry!" Souchiro, who was out, quickly reacted and made various instructions to protect everyone.
"Yes!"
Everyone quickly closed the gate manually, stopping those "things" from entering, but even if they were able to stop "them" from entering, their numbers didn't decrease; they kept increasing as they forced themselves to try to enter the estate.
"Wh-What should we do?!"
With the weight of so many of those "things," the gate seemed ready to be toppled at any moment, falling and letting everyone be exposed to the danger.
Naturally, Rei, Saeko, Kiriko, Kyoko, and the others who stayed at the estate were startled by the sudden change, which put everyone in danger.
"Isao..."
At this moment, they hoped that Isao could return as soon as possible, and at the same time, Rei, Saeko, Kiriko, Naomi, and Kyoko also held the gun given by Isao to comfort their anxiety and fear.
On the other hand, "What's happening? How can they enter?" Souchiro quickly asked the group of three, whom he had put in charge of helping to move many necessities picked up from nearby.
The three of them had begged him, asking him for a task since they didn't want to become a waste in the eyes of everyone.
Souchiro also saw their determination, so he put them in charge of moving things at the walls, which were relatively safe as those "things" were unable to pass through the concert blocks that were used as a wall to make this estate a safe zone.
Yet, how could those "things" enter?!
Also, where were the adults in charge of moving those "things" inside?
Being asked and being stared at by many, Takashi, Hirano, and Takezo became nervous.
"Hurry up and answer!"
"The leader is asking you!"
"What the hell is happening?!"
Everyone's moods were so tense, yet those three were so slow to answer Souchiro's question.
"Th-The bus suddenly couldn't move, and those "things" also approached us... we-we were all in panic, and those "things" attacked us!" Takashi, who explained, answered with chattering teeth, then glanced at Hirano and Takezo and said, "I-I tried to close the wall, but those two ran away, so...."
"W-What?!" 2x
Takezo and Hirano were dumbfounded when they heard Takashi put all the blame on them, yet could they argue with Takashi?
After all, the two ran away without hesitation when they saw the danger.
When Takashi wanted to stay, trying to do something, the two ran away like cowards, leaving him behind!
Yes, this is how it should be!
Takashi thought inwardly, and naturally, due to his explanation, all the eyes quickly put Takezo and Hirano under pressure.
"D-Don't lie! You want to leave us first, right?!"
"Y-Yeah! You are always like this! When there is a danger, you will be the first one who is running away! How can you blame us for this? You are also at fault!"
It was impossible for Takezo and Hirano to accept Takashi's slander.
"Shut up! It's all your fault! I tried to close the gate for everyone! But you two are running away! I am trying to save everyone! But... but you guys...!"
"Don't act like a hero now! Who has left us before!? Did you forget what you did yesterday?!"
"Save everyone? Aren't you dreaming? You just want to save yourselves!"
As the three bickered, Souchiro shouted, "SHUT UP!"
All three quickly shut up under Souchiro's loud voice and piercing gaze.
"But... didn't you tell me to answer your question..."
While Takashi murmured, Souchiro changed his mind, thinking that he shouldn't pamper those kids. Not everyone could be like Isao, who could do anything and become a natural leader for everyone. Not everyone had that talent, and he shouldn't have trusted Takashi, Takeshi, and Hirano.
Yet, it was too late, and nothing could be done except think of a solution to this problem.
It was just that Souchiro didn't have time to think since the gate crumbled under the force of many of those "things" who pushed the gate forcefully.
"The gate falls!"
"They have entered the estate!"
"Leader! Please make your decision!"
Souchiro took a deep breath and knew that there was only one thing that he had to do.
"Woman and the children quickly go to the back of the estate! Protect yourselves! Man! Hold your weapons and fight! Protect everyone!"
Souchiro unsheathed his katana and shouted with all of his might to show his fighting spirit.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"
As everyone bellowed, ready to fight, Souchiro was glad that Yuriko and his wife and daughter Saya went out with Isao.
'Please take care of them in my place, Isao-kun.'
If possible, Souchiro wanted to see his wife, daughter, and Isao-kun for the last time, but for now, he had to fight to protect everyone first!
"HAAAAAA!!!"
