“Close the door!”
As we just got in, the bald ossan (uncle) immediately closed the door and locked it .
Bang! Bang! Bang! Although zombies outside kept pounding on the door, the door didn’t shake much .
“As expected, Mitsugoshi Company’s door is really sturdy . ”
“That’s because of its special material which even magic swordsmen can’t destroy . ”
The bald ossan explained .
“Good grief! The smell is disgusting . Don’t open the door again . I’m swordsman Margari, a mercenary . What about you guys?”
“I’m Christina, and this is Sid-kun . We are students of the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy . ”
“What business do students from the Midgar Kingdom have with the Oriana Kingdom?”
“My mother’s hometown is in Oriana Kingdom . And Sid is traveling . ”
“Traveling during this period…”
“Ha ha…”
I gave a forced smile trying to gloss over .
“I’ve heard that the Mitsugoshi Company is protecting the neighbourhood . ”
Christina looked around .
There were dozens of residents around, but it seemed that none of them were Mitsugoshi Company’s employee .
“They had escaped with most residents last night . The building was empty when we arrived here . ”
“We are late…”
“Bad luck through and through, now we have to find a way to survive by ourselves . ”
“We may be able to count on the Anti Doem Faction to rescue us . ”
“Of course it will be good if they can come here, however…”
Margari sighed .
“Have you seen it? Have you seen how many people in the city have become zombies? They certainly outnumber the soldiers outside . ”
“Yes . ”
“If the soldiers outside know about the situation in the city, they will never come in . So we are confined to this building, and can only wait for the zombies outside to starve to death . This building is but a trap that will spell the end for us all . ”
Christina’s face fell .
I thought that Margari’s consideration was a realistic and calm judgement of the current situation .
“In other words, we’ll either have to wait for the zombies to starve to death, or to escape the city yourself without waiting for any outside help . ” -Sid
“Yes . Some people believe that the rescue team will arrive soon, but I don’t have any hope for it . ” -Margari
As a mercenary, Margari made a realistic judgment .
“The problems we currently have are certainly piled up . Anyway, it’s great that you can become combat forces . If anything happens, we can fight together . ”
“Are us three the only swordsmen here?”
“Seems so, we are the only ones that have combat experience . The rest has never even touched a sword before . ”
“So we must protect everyone here!”
Christina said firmly .
“I understand . But even so, we can only do our best . ”
“Yes . ”
“For the time being, we’d prepare ourselves for staying trapped here for a long time . I will take the command . ”
“Understood . ”
“Do you know what are the necessities for surviving?”
“Water, food and firewood . ”
“Correct . For water, we’ll just need to wait for the snow to melt . We have enough firewood for the time being . But food…”
“Tha . . tha . . That’s why I was against letting them in the building before!”
Before Margari finished his words, a resident shouted .
“There is not enough food! They should have been killed by zombies . ”
“We won’t share food with you!”
“Yes! Yes! This is our food!”
Several residents shouted, and others gazed at us hostilely .
“They are students of the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy . Only the three of us can protect you!”
Margari intimidated in low voice .
“Urgh…”
As expected of a mercenary, he had a big impact on regular people
Residents bowed their heads obediently .
“Sorry, these guys only think for themselves . ”
“This is normal, don’t sweat it . ”
“I think you guys have a rough idea by now . Food is a problem for us . ”
“Aren’t there food left from the Mitsugoshi Company?”
“All valuable products were taken away by the employees of the Mitsugoshi Company . ”
“Well, how many days do we have left until the food runs out?”
“I’m not sure . Look, there is a little . ”
Margari opened a large box in the centre guarded by the residents .
Surrounding residents shot them unfriendly glances .
“These, these are…”
The box was filled with luxuriously wrapped candies .
“Special Beauty Drop DX?!”
Seeing the pile of 10,000 Zeny candies, Christina shouted .
The fact that these candies were left here proved that they may actually be worth only 10 Zeny each .
I looked at excited Christina with sympathy, and turned my gaze on other products left by Mitsugoshi Company .
