Daily life in Zongman

Watching Fujiwara Haru walking away, Busujima Saeko slowly followed behind her and returned to the dormitory building together.

There are three dormitory buildings in the private Fujimi Academy, two dilapidated male and female dormitories, and one high-end dormitory.

The high-end dormitory is well-maintained and safer, and the survivors are now all in the high-end dormitory building. This grid-designed dormitory building has a total of 6 floors. The first floor lobby is occupied by the night watch team and patrolled by security. The second and third floors are for male dormitories, and the fourth and fifth floors are for female dormitories.

No one had assigned the sixth floor, and it was assumed to be the leader's residence. After Futaba finished dinner and came over, she chose the largest deluxe double room on the sixth floor and had the commander push the beds together.

We have always slept together in the apocalyptic world. Even after two years, when everyone has grown up, it doesn’t matter. We can continue to sleep together.

Thinking so, Futaba Rio yawned after taking a shower while waiting for Fujiwara Haru to come back, thinking of taking a short rest.

Then, he couldn't resist the temptation of the warm bedding and fell into a deep sleep.

After collecting supplies, Fujiwara Haru came back and listened to the report from the people who stayed behind. He said that the 6th floor had been cleaned up and the entire floor was his residence.

"Is there enough space for everyone else to sleep? I don't need the entire floor to be mine."

"It's okay, Master Fujiwara. We'll allocate rooms based on four people to a room, and there will still be rooms left after everyone is settled. And since you're our leader, you should have a floor to yourself. By the way, Master Futaba is in room 4. She told me that you should come find her when you return."

"okay."

Fujiwara Haru nodded in agreement, took a new set of toiletries and went upstairs.

On the first night of the zombie apocalypse, the power supply was normal, and the water used was from the academy's water tower, which had been inspected and found to be safe. So, Fujiwara Haru prepared to take a shower, though showers might not be so convenient in the future.

When he pushed open the door of room 603 and was about to ask Futaba what she wanted to see him about, he found that she had fallen asleep, so he quietly closed the door and retreated, casting a soundproof spell. Then he opened the double room next door and took a bath in it while humming a song, without worrying about waking up Futaba next door.

However, because she had slept all afternoon, Fujiwara Haru did not feel sleepy after taking a shower. She wiped off the water droplets and went to the balcony to look at the bed in the distance.

With flames, thick smoke and faint explosions, the city of Bedzhu is not peaceful at night.

Speaking of which, cultivating in this world wasn't a safe place. Not to mention the possibility of unexpected interruptions, if one immersed themselves in cultivation for many days at a time, it would be quite troublesome. Fujiwara Haru no longer spent months cultivating at once. He controlled his progress every night, but it was still possible for him to occasionally indulge himself and spend several days at a time cultivating.

In this doomsday world, it is better not to do this if you have teammates.

He decided to temporarily stop practicing while in this world.

If you don't practice at night, all you have to do is sleep, and you will naturally recover your physical strength and spiritual energy while sleeping.

Fujiwara Haru sensed that his spiritual energy was full.

When preparing for an adventure, if your status is not full, you will feel uncomfortable. When preparing to rest, if your status is full, you will also feel uncomfortable.

There would naturally be no such mentality in the original world, but now it is a zombie apocalypse world. Isn't it a waste not to use spiritual power to kill some zombies?

Fujiwara Haru opened the dormitory door and went up again to the rooftop.

With eyes closed, he used all five senses to sense the suburbs of the city in the distance.

When he opened his eyes again, he confirmed that there were six areas around him where zombies were concentrated and no humans survived. He infused his spiritual power and swung six swords.

Like a dragon piercing the air, a roar echoed throughout the night sky. The distant explosion echoed from Bedzhu City, followed by rising flames and columns of smoke. The areas I had sensed earlier, the entire neighborhood, and even the surrounding streets, had completely vanished. Only a large crater remained, and at the edge of the huge hole, a blazing flame burned.

Fujiwara Haru was also surprised. After entering the Fifth Realm, he rarely let go of his hands and feet and exerted his strength. After all, in the ordinary world, even in the wild, there are tourists. You can't do whatever you want.

Although only 30% of his spiritual power was used this time, 70% was reserved to prevent possible accidents at night, and this 30% of spiritual power was dispersed among the six swords, he did not expect that it could cause such a big scene.

If he attacks with all his strength and finds the right angle, it looks like he can destroy the city with one strike.

I clicked my tongue, then heard a noisy sound coming from the dormitory building.

Fujiwara Haru sent a message to the entire dormitory building, asking everyone to rest assured, saying that it was just an accident.

The noise in the dormitory gradually died down, but some discussion sounds began to emerge.

Fujiwara Haru didn't listen, but felt embarrassed for disturbing everyone's rest. When he was about to go back to sleep, he found that the door to the rooftop was open.

The girl with a side ponytail walked onto the rooftop and said in a straightforward manner: "Fujiwara-kun, you woke me up."

Chapter 268: Futaba is sleeping (Part )

Fujiwara Haru suppressed his sensitive five senses a lot and prepared to go back to rest, but found that the door to the rooftop was open.

"Fujiwara-kun, you woke me up."

"Kato, I'm sorry. I just wanted to come up here to burn off some energy. I didn't expect to make such a loud noise."

"So, Fujiwara-kun can't sleep so late at night on the rooftop?"

"Well, a little bit. After all, I slept for a long time in the afternoon, so I'm not sleepy yet."

While she was talking, the girl with the side ponytail came over, stood on tiptoe to gather up the loose collar, and patted the corners of her clothes to make them more neat.

The girl dropped her heels to the ground, looked up, and spoke softly, "Well, if you're not sleepy yet, would you like to chat?"

"I'm not very sleepy, but it's so late, Kato, you should be a little sleepy."

"Thanks to a captain who couldn't sleep and came to the rooftop to blow off some steam, I'm pretty energetic right now."

"sorry."

"I forgive you~"

The girl walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the smoke column in the distance.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was only wearing a dress, he sensed the direction of the wind and walked to her right side, blocking much of the cold night wind.

The girl noticed that the night wind had died down a lot, looked to the right, then reached out and combed some of the hair that was scattered on the side of her face behind her ears.

Her eyebrows curved slightly as she gazed happily at the distant city. "I knew Fujiwara-kun was amazing, but I'd always thought he was number one in kendo. I never thought he was actually that amazing. The world suddenly opened up to me in a completely different way. It felt surreal."

"I always feel that Kato's reaction is very flat, and there is no sense of surprise."

"How should I put it? I'm always ignored, like I'm invisible, which makes me feel a little strange. I used to think it was because I was too inconspicuous, but after always being praised by Fujiwara, I feel a little confident and think that maybe I really am a little cute."

The girl's voice was calm and gentle. "Gradually, I experienced some things with Fujiwara-kun. Things like wishing for longer hair made me feel that there was another side to the world. We went to comic conventions together, and just changing my hairstyle made me look so dazzling. It was incredible. After changing my hairstyle back to a ponytail, I returned to my normal state. Since then, I've actually had some premonition that there is another side to the world."

"Well then, welcome to the other side of the world, Kato."

"What a perfunctory welcome! In anime, situations like this are usually accompanied by a grand ceremony."

"Then I'll do my best to satisfy whatever Kato wants to see."

"Yada~ I was just complaining, I didn't really want to see it."

“But there’s still some anticipation, right?”

Having said this, he thought for a while and looked up at the sky which was gray due to smoke and dust.

He cast a soundproofing spell on the dormitory building beneath his feet, then raised his right hand and gathered his spiritual energy.

A spiritual bullet, gleaming with a faint red light, flew straight into the sky. After a loud explosion, the dazzling spiritual bullet expanded and exploded, lighting up the night sky like a small sun. It released light and heat, expanding and exploding, transforming into tiny sparks that scattered and fell, leaving a brilliant light and shadow in the night sky like fireworks before flickering away.

At the same time, accompanied by explosions in the sky, a howling gale swept across the sky, blowing away all the clouds above.

In the exceptionally clear night sky, a brilliant river of stars hung on the night cloth. Under the silver moonlight of wild rice, Fujiwara Haru opened his arms to the sides: "Well, a formal welcome, then. Kato, welcome to the other side of the world!"

In the cold night wind, Kato's already cheerful mood became even more cheerful. She grumbled softly, covering up her excitement: "You are really a middle school student~ Captain Fujiwara~"

"Hey, I'm just trying to meet your expectations, Kato. Don't criticize me."

"I know~ So, I am sincerely grateful to Fujiwara-kun~"

The girl said this, folding her hands in front of her: "Tomorrow, I will give Fujiwara-kun a small return gift~ Please look forward to it~"

"Ohhh~ I'm looking forward to it!"

The night breeze blew gently, and the two of them looked at the starry sky together. They didn't say anything to each other, but there was no awkwardness. They just felt the night breeze together and looked at the starry sky.

The girl placed her hands behind her back, and when she stretched them out, her chest naturally lifted a little. After stretching comfortably, she spoke softly, "But speaking of it, what exactly is this ability of mine? It's not true invisibility, but it's not completely invisible either. It feels a bit neither good nor bad."

"It's a form of aura concealment. Depending on the hairstyle, Kato's presence will fluctuate to varying degrees."

"Ah~ I remember Fujiwara-kun complaining about this before. And changing my hairstyle does change the way I feel about being noticed. When I have a ponytail, almost no one pays attention to me. When I have long straight hair, some people notice me, and when I have a side ponytail, a lot of people notice me."

The girl looked to her side, but there was something she hadn't said. When her hair was short, he was the only one who could notice her presence without her actively engaging with him.

Suggestion: "Next time, how about trying out twintails and seeing how much attention they would get?"

The girl complained calmly: "Fujiwara-kun just wants to see twintails."

"Yeah, I want to see it."

"Well... sure, but it'll be tomorrow~ I'm almost going to bed now~"

"Where is Kato sleeping now?"

"It's in Room 510 on the fifth floor."

"Living with people you don't know?"

"Ah."

The girl looked to her side, vaguely guessing what the boy would say.

"Move to the sixth floor and find a room. You'll be more comfortable that way."

“Fujiwara-kun…”

The girl murmured softly.

"what happened?"

"You always take good care of me."

The girl no longer concealed her emotions, and a clear smile appeared on her face.

"We are good friends, this level of care is only natural."

"Hmm~ That's true. So~ where does Fujiwara-kun live?"

"I'm in Room 602. By the way, Futaba is in Room 603. She's already asleep. Be careful not to disturb her."

The smile on the girl's face gradually disappeared. She was silent for a while and said softly: "Ah, it seems that Fujiwara-kun and Futaba-san have a good relationship."

"Yes, I like her very much."

"What about Nishimiya Glass?"

"I prefer it."

"Then...what about the sister Fuyu who Fujiwara-kun mentioned?"

"like the most."

Be open and honest, without any concealment.

The girl stared at the boy's frank face and sighed: "Ah~~"

"what happened?"

"Nothing, it's just that I'm a little disgusted with myself. I know some things, but I always subconsciously forget them and don't want to remember them, and then I try to do the impossible."

"Can't understand."

"It has nothing to do with Fujiwara-kun, it's just my own problem."

"need any help?"

The girl shook her head slightly, her face returning to its usual expressionless state. Her voice was filled with helplessness: "You're making me hate myself even more."

"Then what should I do?"

"Fujiwara-kun, if you ask me about this, I don't know how to respond..."

"Then would it be better if I didn't say anything?"

"maybe……"

The girl didn't respond, and silence fell between them once again. The night wind grew stronger, causing the girl's clothes to flutter slightly.

"It's late, let's go back together."

"Um……"

The girl was in a bad mood, but she didn't express it, she just buried it deep in her heart.

At noon, above the sea of clouds, after learning they were headed to a post-apocalyptic world plagued by zombies, she actually considered raising her hand and quitting. The girl knew she wasn't suited to surviving in this apocalyptic world, and if she went, the consequences would likely be tragic.

Then she saw a tall man walking around in the crowd. He was big and not beautiful, but he was definitely handsome.

The girl looked at him and decided to wait until he came in front of her.

"Kato is here too. Do you want to join my team and survive the apocalypse together?"

The girl did not ask whether he could protect her, nor did she ask anything else. She just heard the question.
