Kint->Kintnay

The sound of quiet, heavy footsteps came from the ground.

I swallowed hard and held my breath again.

Ethan’s large hand closed over the back of mine, which was shaking with nerves.

I look up and Ethan is staring at the window by the door, his face is blank.

Shit. There was a window. I hadn’t realized there was a window on this side because my head was turned to the other side.

Beyond the window, I saw a shadow with it’s back to the hot sun. It looked like a viral monster that had gotten too close.

Krrrr.

I could hear the monster’s cries through the window. I clutched Ethan’s hand tightly and bit my bottom lip.

I hear the sound of dragging legs outside.

A shiver runs down my spine. Outside the window, I see the chest of a creature covered in black fur.

It began to sniff the air outside the window.

The creature outside the window moved slowly, as if it were leaning it’s head toward the window.

To look inside the window.

My heart raced. I gripped Ethan’s hand tightly and gritted my teeth.

The low growl of the beast outside the window grew closer, until its face was halfway down the window,

I heard the sound of something blunt hitting the floor. I turned my head in surprise in the direction of the sound.

The building we entered was a clothing store, and there was a person under a table by the front door.

The owner must have been hiding there.

He was frozen in place with his hands outstretched, his face ashen. On the floor was a chef’s knife that he had apparently been holding.

He made eye contact with me and barely moved his trembling lips. I couldn’t hear a word, but from the shape of his mouth, I could make out what he was saying.

Help me.

And at the same time-!

The window shattered and a giant virus monster crashed through.

“Aghhh!”

The man screamed, and the monster ran straight for him.

At the same time, I heard what sounded like a loud tiger roar,

” AUGH!!!”

The man’s screams of agony were followed by the sound of the wall breaking through.

“We have to go.”

Ethan grabbed my wrist and ran for the back door. I didn’t dare look back to see what happened to the man.

[N: damn it get dark so quick]

The monsters seemed to be following the noise from the clothing store, heading there.

Was this a good thing?

I was so nervous, my hands were shaking, and then Ethan’s hand, which had been clutching my wrist, slipped up and wrapped around mine.

I didn’t say anything, just gripped his hand tighter, like it was a lifeline. We ran, hand in hand.

The alley behind the police station line was rather narrow, and one of the virus monsters must have heard our running and jumped out from behind us.

I let go of Ethan’s hand and swung my axe straight at it.

The creature that had been lunging at me slammed into the next building and collapsed. Ethan looked back at me and offered me his hand again.

N: he loves holding her hand ha.

“Are you okay?”

I pointed to Ethan’s back.

“Watch your back!”

Ethan quickly drew his sword and swung.

A fountain of thick green liquid sprayed out. The running virus monster was cut in half and fell to the ground without a scream.

“Ethan, hands!”

I wave my hand eagerly at Ethan in an attempt to make him hurry. Ethan watches me with a strange look on his face and wraps his hand around mine.

I grabbed his hand and ran, not even realizing that I had called out to him like a pet dog.

N: LMAO

‘Damn, I’m going to have to make a run signal.’

Honderf Train Station.

The train station was one stop past Kintnay.

Vanilla ducked behind a platform stall at the Honderf train station and loaded her shotgun, scanning the area nervously.

The train station was infested with strange creatures. She could see them everywhere.

They looked just like the ones she had seen at Cherry’s Happy House.

She subconsciously wondered if they might be contagious, but did they really spread some kind of disease?

“XX, what the hell is going on?”

Spitting out a thick stream of profanity, Vanilla flicked back her pale blue hair in annoyance.

Shortly after the Happy House incident, she’d gotten a call from the Benton Police Department saying they had something to investigate and wanted her to come up to the capital immediately.

Vanilla was the owner of a mansion at 61 Nottingham Street in the capital.

‘They said there was a monster disturbance.’

She have seen it in the papers. “There was a monster at 61 Nottingham Street.”

At the time, she didn’t even realize it was a mansion she owned.

‘I’ve got to have one or two crappy mansions I own.’

Her father had died in an car accident, and all he left her was a mountain of debt and crumbling mansions that weren’t worth anything.

Cherry Sinclair’s abandoned Brunel house was one of them.

‘I almost miss it now, damn it.’

If she’d had a house like that, perched on a hill like a castle, she might have been able to hide out for a while and not have to go through all this trouble.

Now that the monsters were on the train from Kintnay to Hondurf, Vanilla knew that both Kintnay and Hondurf were in this shitty situation.

‘If that’s the case, I don’t think the capital is any different…….’

If that was the case, it was better to go back down to Brunel than to go up to the capital. It was closer.

‘Huh? Wait a minute, I think there’s a person in there, Mr. Lawyer?’

Then I heard a voice. It was a voice, a little younger. Vanilla poked her head back out over the stall.

Into her field of vision came two peoplw running along the train tracks.

“Run! Run!”

The pretty young woman with the pink hair waved at her.

The brown-haired man who was running next to the pink youth suddenly stopped in his place and turned around. He aimed the rifle in his hand forward, assumed a firing stance, and pulled the trigger.

Bang-! Bang-!

“Jose Cambron!”

The brown-haired man called out to the pink youth. The pink young woman turned around and fired a series of shots with her rifle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They grabbed their weapons and ran back along the train tracks.

Behind the two people, Vanilla could now see a large number of monsters following them. Vanilla flinched, holding her loaded shotgun.

‘XX. What the hell!’

Ethan and I had barely reached the police station.

Next to the police station there was a small garden. We hid in the thick bushes there and took a moment to catch our breath.

Sitting down among the bushes, I said to Ethan.

“We need to rescue Mr. Knox, stop by the grocery store, the general store, and of course, if all else fails, go straight to the police station.”

“Okay. I’ll let you go shopping as long as we save Mr. Knox.”

Ethan said with a tone that said it wasn’t that hard if he just put his mind to it. He was bluffing.

I looked up at the clock tower through the bushes.

The top of the five-story clock tower had a railing to keep it from falling, along with a space for the clockmaker to make repairs.

I stared at it for a while, but there was no sign of life.

“I’ll go in,” I said, “and Sir Ethan will take cover on the roof of that building over there. Can you climb up?”

Ethan looked at me again, this time with a lot to say. Apparently, he wants to switch roles.

I would have loved to, but the situation didn’t allow it.

“If you have to use a gun, you use it. It’s important to get in, but it’s just as important to get out, so I need you to cover me.”

It was me knocking him out, scooping him up, and running to Happy House. It was better for me to use my strength and for him to cover me.

Eventually, Ethan nodded, convinced that he couldn’t do it.

“I’ll put my faith in Miss Cherry’s strength, and if he’s not there, come right out, don’t dawdle.”

Ethan seemed concerned that I would panic with confusion if Knox wasn’t there.

But what I was really worried about was not my mental state of panic, but where I would find him again if he wasn’t on the clock tower.

‘I don’t know. Let’s just go up there.’

I nodded toward Ethan.

“Okay. I’ll meet you at the base of the clock tower a little later.”

“See you soon, be safe.”

Ethan said, looking back at me before heading up to the roof of the building. I stretched out two fingers toward Ethan, miming a gunshot. It was an attack signal.

Muttering to himself, Ethan waved at me and disappeared into the next building.
