(Kyosei"s View)
The car is coated dark red already due to the amount of undead that crashed and grinded by the car. The car is progressing as usual. However, Kaito scratched his head as he stares at the speedometer of the car. I noticed however I did not ask what is up and just look at him lazily.
"d.a.m.n, we are almost out of gas," Kaito frowned as he returned his eyes into the road.
"Are we still able to reach the next gas station with the amount of gas we have?" Satsuki asked.
"If we don"t have to speed up like we did earlier this morning, it won"t be a problem. However, there are many unprecedented events and we cat just a.s.sume to safely reach the next gas station which is still a few miles away," Kaito said as he evaded one of the undead.
I stare outside via the gla.s.s of the window stained by the blood and flesh of the dead that crashed into the car while the car is still driving. The whole duration of the ride helped me rest my nerves for quite a while. Now that I have rested, I just realized how I worked myself without any rest for these past few days. I don"t even have a time to sleep well this days, well... I did sleep but I am not the one who caused it and I was merely pa.s.sed out so that doesn"t count. Overall, it seems I barely have any sleep at all ever since the outbreak started.
I disregarded the conversation of Satusuki and Kaito. Whatever they are discussing, it doesn"t matter to me. I held my MP3 player and pushed the Next b.u.t.ton to play the next song. A very good thing that this MP3 managed to save thousands of Anime Songs and a few hundreds of dub step songs, as expected of Nanami who is the queen of inventing or rather changing the technologies to her advantage.
The song that played next is a ballad song. Although the song is similar to a theme song whenever someone is in the middle of travelling, it is not something to make the whole situation happy. Still, I feel sleepy with this song, might as well go to sleep a bit. I can just wake up anytime I wanted to if necessary.
My eyes are about to close when the music in my headphones stopped. Of course, its not due to the out of battery situation or my mp3 is broken, the only thing is that, someone is contacting me. I opened my eyes in a boring situation and sighed.
However, the usual naggy voice I usually hear whenever Nanami contacted me is absent, instead, I heard a sobbing sound. Although I don"t care whatever caused her to sob, I don"t really have a choice and besides, I am also curious. Nanami is not a sort of person that will easily cry by minor means. The only meaning is that, a major event occurred causing her to cry. And that is just my own suspicion. If she is calling while crying, then that means that the matter she is calling me involved the reason she is crying right now.
"Kyosei..." Nanami"s voice is hoa.r.s.e, like she just finished crying herself.
"..." I did not say anything, I just decided to listen at the moment.
"Kyosei, Nejima is infected...sob," Nanami said weakly on the other line.
"I see..." I said to her.
Nejima huh? Just what exactly happened that caused Nejima to get infected?
"...Tell me what is going on. As the acting leader, you need to fill me in on this matter," I said to her in a calm tone.
"Okay..." And Nanami started retelling the events that transpired over the short amount of time while I was gone, including the matter of getting gold bars in Namba which is far from our current location.
"And you agreed? We could have done another negotiation thing to get the guns without risking our members, or you should have waited for me. I can get those gold bars if ever there are one. In result, it caused a major problem," I scolded Nanami. As a leader, I don"t tend to be person who needs to be soft towards his own group. One failure will cause the downfall of the group if not properly mitigated.
"I"m sorry...but I don"t know what to do... I may be an acting leader but I am not as mature as you. I don"t have the same intellect as you. I am just a high school student just a few days ago!" Nanami started crying.
I fell silent again. She is right. I shouldn"t have expected too much from her. Being a normal high school student, without any experiences of downfall like I did. Its quite normal for her to never be able to get her own decisions right just by this things. Nanami is not as mature as me. I sighed at this. This matter is too troublesome, but as a leader, I need to act on it.

"Fine, what"s done is done. We need to ensure Souichi and the others managed to return safely. Tell them to return to s.h.i.+nsaibas.h.i.+ immediately. I had a good place we can scavenge guns and besides, I am returning with guns in the car. We can use it for the upcoming battle. Relay it to them. If they are not able to return due to the undead circ.u.mstances, ask them to wait..."
...
My conversation with Nanami went fine as far as I know. However, I am quite sure this is another troublesome matter. Namba Area is not a good place for looking gold bars. And if that is the case, why did the two people in Bang Gunstore demanded gold for a weapon? I am getting curious but now is not the time. I had to make preparations to return to s.h.i.+nsaibas.h.i.+. If the matter about Souichi failed, I need to head out alone and get them to go back to s.h.i.+nsaibas.h.i.+. There is no actual need to buy guns in Bang Gunstore, only bullets will do. I already have a place that is not yet looted due to the fact that it was overwhelmed by the dead during the beginning of the Outbreak. However, now that we are well prepared, fully armed and with other people to help out, clearing that place is nothing.
That place should still be untouched... The convenience store where Kato is working and where I got my first gun. The bomb shelter with the armory that is hidden in plain eyes...
