Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Screams, cries, and the sound of running footsteps mingled together.

"...Aya-chan, is this also in your script? If my memory serves me right, I didn't experience a zombie crisis in my previous life."

"I... I didn't plan this kind of crisis! That wasn't my doing! I wanted a sweet and sour campus romance comedy!"

makes sense.

"So what exactly is this... a monster that turned back into a human and then back into a monster?"

Aya clutched her head and complained.

"Ah~! I'm going crazy! What's going on! This is a domain I spent half a year painstakingly creating... Ah, wait, this, this seems to be my power..."

"You have this kind of power?"

"Have you forgotten what kind of god I am?!"

The great god Huang Quanjin.

So that's how it is; resurrecting the dead was her power all along.

The Return to the Underworld, when applied to the soul, can bring the soul back to another world; when applied to the body, it turns the corpse into a zombie.

"This child survived only because of my power, but the price is that it can only stay in another world from now on."

"Meow~"

The black-tailed cat on the desk meowed; it had turned into a zombie cat.

Actually, she's similar to Granny Kobayashi; after becoming a monster, she turned into a resident of another world.

"But the other NPCs shouldn't be like that. Although I did use my powers to turn the monster into a human, that sly fox also said that doing so wouldn't cause any problems..."

At this moment, Xiao Guang raised his hand and said.

"I just saw the whole thing. It seems like a student jumped off a building and committed suicide. Then, a teacher who went to check on the student was suddenly bitten by the resurrected corpse and turned into a zombie as well."

"Why would someone jump off a building?!"

"The pressure must have been too much... If the scene is a reconstruction based on my memory, someone did commit suicide back then."

The incident escalated quite a bit, and the school temporarily blocked the news.

Then, because Black Tail's powers took effect automatically, the corpse that died after committing suicide turned into a zombie.

The English word "zombie" actually originated from Africa and the Caribbean, and it means a corpse that has been brought back to life by witchcraft or curse.

In other words, from the very beginning, the zombie has been a mysterious phenomenon.

It was only later, due to the widespread popularity and reach of the game Resident Evil, that the origin of zombies became a virus, which gradually evolved into supernatural... creatures that are infectious, physically mutilated, do not decompose, act in groups, are sensitive to sound, and have a mysterious power source?

It can barely be considered a living being, except its brain isn't the original one.

"Hey, if we get bitten, will we turn into zombies too?"

"Hmm...it shouldn't be contagious, but if you die, you'll probably turn into a zombie..."

"This is still very bad, Aya-chan! Quickly use your divine power to think of a solution!"

Aya-chan pointed at her index finger, lowered her head, and said guiltily.

"Um... I, my current setting is just an ordinary human being... because I didn't expect this to happen!"

You useless good-for-nothing god who only knows how to eat rice!

Did I actually get screwed over by my own abilities?!

The romantic comedy has been transformed into a high school apocalypse.

Chapter 488 A Masterpiece That Changed the World

"What do we do! What do we do! This is terrible, meow!"

Even the ending of her sentence from when she was a cat popped up, showing that Aya-chan was really anxious.

Kuroba Akira, on the contrary, remained calm. Although the zombie crisis was indeed quite frightening, the master of this small world was right here, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Why are you, as a god, more panicked than me, your agent? Isn't this your domain? Even if you're currently set up as just an ordinary person, you can simply escape from this domain, right?"

"If I could get out, I wouldn't be so panicked!"

"What? Why can't we get out? Are there even gods who can be trapped in their own domains?"

However, Kuroba Akira underestimated Aya-chan's unreliable nature.

"Uh, well... I originally wanted you to serve me well here, but a few days definitely wouldn't be enough... So, because I was afraid you'd run away, I set a fixed time limit within the domain so that no one could leave... including me..."

"Fixed term? For how long?"

"Well……"

Aya turned her head away, looking a little embarrassed, and Kuroba Akira already knew that this time must be quite long.

Kuroba Akira pressed down on her shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and pressed her for an answer.

"Tell me quickly."

Aya-chan broke out in a cold sweat, scratched her cheek, and answered shyly.

"First, a year... because you've been spending almost a year having affairs with other women..."

"..."

Kuroba Akira was completely speechless.

Are we going to spend a whole year... in this godforsaken place?

Time in the other world is synchronized with the real world; there is no time difference. This means that Kuroba Akira will be missing for a whole year in the real world.

What he was most worried about was that group of yanderes... Although they had been very well-behaved for the past six months and seemed harmless, as if they had shed their dark tendencies, that was all because of Kuroba Akira, their backbone.

If I'm gone, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in their search for me...

Now is not the time to worry about the outside world, as Kuroba Akira's own situation is not optimistic either.

Kuroba Akira looked around. Most of the NPC students had already run out of the classroom. Outside, the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic. Students who rushed out of the teaching building were bitten to death by zombies and turned into new zombies... As panic spread, the atmosphere of the apocalypse was beginning to take shape.

"what……"

Kuroba Akira sighed deeply. He never expected that he would be trapped in such a terrible place after coming here just to find his cat, and about to embark on a year-long survival challenge in the apocalypse.

Am I destined to have a life full of misfortunes...?

"……sorry……"

"what?"

The quiet apology brought Kuroba Akira back to his senses. He could see that Aya-chan in front of him was in a very low mood, and if she had cat ears, they would definitely be drooping.

"I said! I'm sorry! I really acted recklessly this time. I didn't expect my powers to go berserk because of such a small accident... because I haven't used my powers for a long time..."

She even seemed a little aggrieved.

"I didn't mean to blame you. Since we can't get out, let's think about how to survive first."

It's not easy for ordinary people without special abilities to survive a zombie apocalypse.

"Speaking of which, if I get bitten, will I turn into a zombie?"

"Hmm... because you are my agent, my powers should not apply to you, which means... if you are bitten to death, you are really dead."

"That seems worse than becoming a zombie... Oh well, it's already a blessing in disguise that I won't get infected and turn into a zombie from a single bite."

This difficulty level has been lowered. It's actually similar to the protagonist setting where they are born with antibodies. At least it's not a hellish difficulty where you die instantly.

If it really is a virus, even if it's transmitted through water, it means we won't even have water to drink and will have to scavenge for supplies in dangerous places like supermarkets, which would be very difficult.

"And what about you? It would be hilarious if you got bitten to death by a zombie that resurrected by its own abilities, although I will try my best to protect you."

“I don’t need your protection anymore. After all, those corpses were resurrected because of my power. Although they won’t obey my orders because I can’t use my abilities, they will treat me as one of their own and won’t attack me.”

In other words, Aya's body is similar to that of a mother who gives birth, so how could the child harm the mother?

"Wouldn't that make me invincible? In a world full of zombies, I'd be the only one who wouldn't get attacked. It'd be like a protagonist with cheat codes. So, it would be very safe for you to go looking for supplies. In other words, I'd be living off someone else again."

It turns out the real loser was myself.

In short, with Aya-chan searching for supplies, there's no need to worry about food and drink; they shouldn't starve.

The remaining question is how to build safe locations that cannot be breached by zombies...

"This is... amazing!!! Hooray! Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Xiao Guang, who had been silent all along, burst into cheers, his face flushed with excitement.

Aya looked completely bewildered, pointed at Hikaru who was shouting "Long live!", and asked Kuroba Akira.

"Uh... has your sister gone crazy? Why is she so happy?"

"Ah... I see."

Kuroba Akira immediately understood why his sister was so happy.

This situation would be a serious survival crisis for an ordinary person like Kuroba Akira who doesn't have high combat skills, but for his sister it's a 'stress-relieving paradise'.

She can kill zombies without any scruples, release her stress, stop fixing those damn bugs, stay away from work, be with her brother, take care of him in every way, and not worry about other women defiling him, for a whole year at that.

Is there a better place than this?

Akira Kuroba felt that the best decision he had ever made was waking up Hikari and taking her into the other world with him.

If it were just him and the useless god Aya-chan, they would probably be constantly on the run, living a miserable life where they barely had enough to eat.

But with her superhuman sister, everything changes. She can dominate the world and slay all the zombies.

"I used to really dislike you! Because of your interference, my brother's reincarnation plan failed, but you did a fantastic job this time! I've decided to forgive you!"

Xiao Guang patted Aya-chan, who was a little shorter than her, with a big smile. She was so happy that she even felt that a year was a bit short. She wished it could be longer, like three to five years.

"Who wants your forgiveness..."

Aya rolled her eyes, impatiently brushed Hikaru's hand away, and gave Kuroba Akira a look that said, "Your sister is really crazy." Kuroba Akira shrugged, feeling a little relieved.

As long as no mutated zombies appear that even my sister can't handle, surviving in this world for a year shouldn't be too difficult.

"Then Xiao Guang, I'll trouble you to take care of those zombies. If you can wipe them out completely and stop the spread of the zombie crisis, that would be even better."
