Sei and the Corpse Ogre 3
When Sei was a.s.saulted by Michiyama, Shinji was heading for the 4th floor.
During the third day, Shinji vanquished every corpse ogres from the 5th floor, and he guided to the girls at the Cafe.
Thus, from today on, I thought about going to the 4th floor.
Then, while heading there, I heard a large sound from the 4th floor.
In direction of the girl’s changing room.
The girl’s changing room is one of the places Shinji had wanted to secure.
Something happened so without securing he went there.
He immediately went there and while descending the stairs he encountered 2 corpse ogres.
One was a female student so, only defeating the male student, he left the female student corpse ogre as it was, Shinji ran to the girl’s changing room.
Shinji saw in the corridor before him a male student that had pushed down a female student.
He could see something similar to blood.
Shinji rushed at full speed, and kicked the male student’s face to his heart’s content.
He flew 5 meters, and took vigilance while Shinji looked at the female student.
I didn’t make it, again.
The female student’s body was trembling and having violent convulsions.
If I had been 10 seconds faster, it’s possible that I could’ve saved her.
（ …… No, maybe… ）
Shinji takes out a recovery item from his item box and sprinkles it over her face, where the bleeding is the worse.
The recovery drug’s immediate effectiveness is unknown.
But, however it is, her face, especially around her mouth, blood is pouring out.
Even if I let her drink it politely, I have the feeling the effectiveness doesn’t change.
And also, I do not have the time for that.
The boy Shinji kicked had risen up.
Shinji looks at the hole in the wall of the girl’s changing room.
（ …… This guy did this ？ ）
Looking at the situation, I’m probably right.
A monster who broke off concrete.
It’s completely different from the corpse ogres I defeated until now.
Corpse ogres do not have that much strength.
Shinji equips the flame and ice pair of swords: [Red Horse] and [Blue Deer].
Shinji observes carefully the male student.
But, from what I see, the male student in front of me doesn’t really look weird except for the object piercing him.
In short, he’s the same as a corpse ogre.
There’s nothing else weird, but looking closely, Shinji notices something.
（ …… Hum ？ This guy where did I …… ？ ）
Shinji’s thought was interrupted.
” Tokoharu-san. ”
By the male student’s words.
” Haa ？ ”
Shinji thought he heard wrong.
Corpse ogres do not normally talk.
” Aaaaa ” or ” Guuuuuuuuu “.
Like that, they only do groan-like noises.
Using Supper Braggart’s strength, there’s an answer according to the order but that’s it.
But the male student in front of me clearly called a person’s name.
” What ？ Are you perhaps alive ？ ”
” Tokoharu-san .”
” …… Oy. ” {TL note: vey}
” Tokoharu-san. ”
” …… h.e.l.looo , you listening ？ ”
” Tokoharu-san I love you. ”
The male student came towards me.
Fast.
Faster than any corpse ogre until now.
With a speed not losing to the c.o.c.kroach ogres, the boy came towards me.
But,
” Oraa ！ ”
Shinji strikes the boy’s face with his shield. {TL note: Remember, he equips a plastic shield attached to his arm}
Shinji clearly saw the male student’s moves.
On the 5th floor Shinji didn’t just defeat every human corpse ogres, but also the other living beings who turned to corpse ogres like the c.o.c.kroaches.
On the 5th floor, there were also mice and centipedes who became corpse ogres. {TL note: Weird wording in raw, but still correct meaning here. If anyone wants to help out: ５階には、他にも、ネズミが死鬼化した死鬼ネズミや、ムカデが死鬼化した死鬼ムカデ。}
There were also ravens that came who had become corpse ogres.
Shinji who defeated them went up multiple levels.
As if I became a security guard, if it was to the extent of a c.o.c.kroach corpse ogre’s speed, I became strong enough to see its moves clearly and counter attack.
” Don’t come so suddenly. ”
Just in case, Shinji only hit him with his shield.
This male student is somehow different from corpse ogres until now.
There’s also a possibility he’s a living human.
I can’t kill him. {TL note: Well honestly we kinda saw that coming… G.o.d d.a.m.n it Shinji.}
As that student was. .h.i.t he fell down.
He was 10 centimeters smaller than Shinji, and thinner.
Clearly seems weak.
It looks the first he defeated……
” Aa …… ！ ”
Shinji remembers right there.
Like the first male student he defeated, this student in front of his eyes is the just like the one from that time.
He isn’t wearing his upper clothes, and just before his body’s movements were completely different so he didn’t catch it, but looking closely that’s it.
” So, as expected he’s really a corpse ogre？ ”
When Shinji saw him for the first time, this boy was clearly dead.
He died, and became a corpse ogre.
Even so, for some reason this boy is spouting words.
（ …… Did you use the resurrection drug or something ？ From who ？ This collapsed girl ？ Certainly, since looking at her hair she looks refined, so she must be possess a lot of money…… ）
If so, why was this female student attacked by this male student ?
Becoming a corpse ogre, if he did get resurrected using the drug, he owes his life to this girl.
There shouldn’t be any reason for her to be attacked.
” Tokoharu-san. ”
The male student rises to his feet.
” I don’t have the time to leisurely think…… huh. ”
Shinji kicks his solar plexus.
The male student’s body folds in a くshape, and flies 3 meters away.
For now, Shinji decides to prioritize immobilizing this male student.
Whatever the case, the fact is that this male student attacked the girl is true.
And he doesn’t look like he’s reflecting on it.
Shinji again kicks the side of the cranium of the male student trying to stand up once more.
Maybe it’s because my level went up, even if I kick his hard head, I don’t feel pain. {TL note: Yeah Shinji. And when are you going to tell me your level and stats? I’m eager to know.}
” Sleep. ”
I kick him again as he tries to stand up.
He rises I kick, he rises and I kick.
Head, abdomen, rear, legs.
Kick kick, kick kick.
When I kick him until he’s 10 meters away from the female student’s position, his body is bloodred all over.
Shinji too is quite bloodied from the returning splashes.
While kicking, Shinji remembers something uncomfortable.
（ …… What is it ？ This guy. ）
” Tokoharu …… Gatu. ”
Again, the student rose up and I kicked his face.
（ …… Why, this guy. Can’t he see me？ ）
He took this much injuries.
Hatred or fear, Shinji should be able to see it.
And yet, he couldn’t feel any of that from the male student. There isn’t even a glance at him.
Because he’s a corpse ogre there are no emotions ？
No, there are emotions.
Enough to give me a nausea, he has wholeheartedly one obsession.
Saying it in a cute way; love. Saying it badly; stalker.
Shinji felt such restless emotions.
It’s just that the aim of his attacks isn’t Shinji.
” Tokoharu-san. ”
The male student, rising up, looks at the collapsed girl.
He took so much kicks from Shinji his nose is broken, but still ignores him completely and single-mindedly thinks about the girl, looking at her.
” I love you. ”
With a speed surpa.s.sing c.o.c.kroaches, the male student rushes over to the collapsed girl. {TL note: Send him to mars in 400 years will ya}
In Shinji’s way, as if there where n.o.body, as if there was nothing in his way, he pa.s.ses through.
” I won’t let you pa.s.s, though. ”
So that the boy can’t get up well, Shinji kicks his thigh with great force.
With a roundhouse kick imitation, he puts force in his right leg and sends a low kick.
” Ge ！ ”
He slides on the male student’s blood, and misses his kick.
” Guhe ！ ”
While spinning around, Shinji who magnificently fell down, gets back up immediately.
” d.a.m.n ！ ”
” Tokoharu-san. ”
The male student was already right next to the girl.
I don’t know if the female student is alive or not, but if I let the male student do as he please, I don’t think it will end well.
Shinji readies the pair of swords [Red Horse and Blue Deer].
” I love Tokoharu–san‘s breast but I love Tokoharu-san’s kind heart even more. ”
The male student goes on top of the girl as if being on horseback.
” Uooooooo oraaaaaa ！ ”
As Shinji judged he couldn’t hit normally or he wouldn’t make it in time, he struck with [Blue Deer] and [Red Horse].
Just like a baseball knock.
[Blue Deer]‘s handle is lowered to my b.u.t.tocks, and [Red Horse], giving a red flame, made an explosion.
The explosive attack accelerated [Blue Deer]’s speed so much, it was like a bullet and it hit the male student to the heart.
” Tokoharu-san. ”
The part where he was. .h.i.t, his body froze over.
” Tokoharu-san I love you your hair and lips and b.r.e.a.s.t.s and heart and everything. ”
The ice breaks apart slowly from the male student’s body.
” ………… I love you from the bottom of my heart. ” {TL note: Impossible to translate properly. All this time Michiyama said ‘daisuki desu’ and this time ‘ais.h.i.te imasu’, which has a stronger meaning. So fugging sad. Don’t kill him Shinji!!!!}
The male student’s whole body froze.
In the corner of my eyes, the ice budges a bit. I wonder if it’s because of the gaz?
I hear the sound of level up.
” Fuu …… I did it huh. ”
For an instant, I slashed [Blue Deer].
There was a possibility the male student was alive, and I wanted to observe a bit more, but it can’t be helped.
Shinji wasn’t injured, but the victim was already out.
If I don’t stop here, it’s possible the victims could increase.
” Well , it could’ve been possible to attach myself to that girl. ”
Shinji remembered the weird feeling he got from the male student, but from the girl.
” …… It’s a corpse ogre right ？ Huh ? ”
Shinji looks from his status the subjugation list.
If I killed right here a human, it should be written……
Shinji timidly confirmed his status.

” High level ！ ”
The latest I defeated was a level 11 corpse ogre.
As expected, that male student really was a corpse ogre.
However, that’s not the noteworthy element here.
It’s the level.
The highest level corpse ogre Shinji had defeated up until now was a level 5 c.o.c.kroach.
This high level’s origin from that boy corpse ogre is maybe the different behavior from the others.
I don’t know but, for now I take a closer look at the frozen student.
” U …… Un. ”
I could hear a voice towards the male student.
” …… Can you still move ？ ”
Shinji, alert, approaches.
” I …… what …… ？ ”
I ？
Shinji looks at the horse-backed female student.
” …… Eh ？ It’s cold ！ ”
The female student pushes over the frozen male student, and puts her hand to her crotch.
” Eh ？ What ？ Ice ？ Eh ？ Eh ？ ”
The female student that was attacked by the male student was alive.
