A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 44: Caesar



Chapter 44: Caesar

On the way back, Shiro and Saeko met a newly assembled group of volunteers who wanted to join the ranks of the local “Security”.

This group included Hirano, Takashi, Ray and Hasegawa. Kiriko stayed with a small group of people to guard the camp.

The group was surprised that Shiro and Saeko had already completed their task, because they were in a hurry to get to them. And although Shiro refused to help at the beginning, they actually went to fulfill their task and could “accidentally” help them on the way.

And Shiro and Saeko, in turn, were surprised at the speed with which this group of people gathered, because only nothing had passed since the meeting.

As a result of this meeting, Shiro still wanted to control the process of cleaning the port from all zombies. Well, where Shiro is there in most cases and Saeko.

And it just so happened that the last zombie on the territory of the port was killed by lunchtime. Yes, this handful of people managed to clear the port from the undead before lunch. This is mainly due to Shiro and his skills, of course.

Using the skills of “Leader”, “Teaching”, “Vocal” and “Acting”, he built this diverse group of people into a structured single organism.

It obviously didn’t work out right away, but closer to lunch it was close to the truth. A rigid formation where everyone covered the back of a comrade, fought effectively and safely, and at the same time had the opportunity to maneuver to evade if the situation required it.

For such a result it took.

First. With the help of the above mentioned skills, build people and drive the necessary information into their heads.

Shiro pushed the knowledge of how to attack, defend, walk, dodge, and even breathe.

Of course, this is not all of what he put into them, but definitely the main thing.

The second is training. Throughout this time, our hero trained them according to the standard “Carrot and Stick” tactics.

According to the “Carrot” everything is simple, using the already mentioned skills, he praised those who did everything right and exceeded his expectations. And for those who made a mistake, a “Whip” was prepared in the form of the skills already mentioned, but with the generous addition of “Murderous Intent”.

Shiro even felt like a kind of “Caesar” and noticed for himself that training people is quite an interesting thing. He also pumped up all the skills used above quite well.

Now he is heading to Shizuka, since the cleanup is over, and he did not intend to help with the little things further. And he had already promised Saeko to talk to the nurse… And he himself was interested in this meeting.

Temporary nurse’s office.

Shizuki has a pretty busy day today.

It just so happened that she was the only qualified nurse in the camp. No, not even that. She was the only person with an education in the medical field.

Therefore, a place was organized for the reception of patients, and she began to provide assistance to those in need. She was also given all the medicines found and a couple of assistants were fitted who knew at least the minimum for this very help.

And yet, despite the allocated “helpers” for half a day, she was already tired. It turned out that quite a lot of people needed medical help. The only thing that pleased the nurse was that over time her work would decrease.

Now she was sitting alone in an empty room and with a sad face withdrew into herself.

The quiet and calm atmosphere was broken by the door sliding aside.

Shiro was standing at the door in all his glory. – Not busy? “What is it?” he asked, with a reassuring smile on his face.

Seeing that the newcomer was Shiro, Shizuka quickly hid her sad expression.

– Shiro! I didn’t expect you to visit me! Come in, come in! I’m always ready for you! – already with a positive and energetic smile she sang.

– Even so? Thanks. – said the hero and ducked in.

– What brought you to me? Are you hurt or sick? She asked him anxiously when he sat down on the chair opposite her.

“Thanks for worrying about me, Shizuka, but no, I’m fine. I just came by to talk. –

– Talk? You? With me? – the girl said skeptically.

– Hey! What a face that is! Do you really think I just can’t come in and talk to you! Shiro protested with mock fury.

– At the moment? No. You’ve only recently become the head and you should have your hands full. And before that, you didn’t often drop by to chat with me. – she said confidently.

– But no, I have time. The fact that I have become a leader does not mean that I have to do everything on my own. –

– That is, you have thrown off your duties to others? –

– Why so rude? I handed them over for the purpose of freeing up my time. These are, by the way, the basics of the basics for a leader, to be able to shift responsibilities. he said with a face full of spirituality and infallibility.

– Really? She asked doubtfully.

– Of course! And that we’re about me, yes about me, let’s talk about you. – the guy quickly changed the subject.

– What’s wrong with me? –

– Shizuka, what are you sad about? What’s bothering you? Shiro asked calmly, getting straight to the point.

– What makes you think that something is eating me? –

– No need to pretend, I managed to see your expression when I opened the door. Yes, and your assistants said that you are quite sad today. –

– Uh-uhhh … – she sighed sadly, returning the “beaten” look.

She collected her thoughts for a few seconds and finally spoke.

– I’m worried about my friend, Rika. Is she alive. Will I ever see her again. – she spoke with melancholy.

– You’ll see. You’ll definitely see it. – he said confidently.

– Ha-a-a… Why such confidence? –

– Well, judging by your stories about her, I think that such a thing will definitely not disappear. The only thing that should worry you is whether she will find you, and I already think I can handle that. – said the hero and mentally added to the task to find Rika.

– I would like your confidence to be Shiro… You may be right, but I’m not going to stop worrying. –

– And you try to distract yourself. –

“And what is it?” –

– Yes, at least by talking to me. –

– I don’t think it will help. – for the sake of appearances, she resisted.

– We won’t try, we won’t find out. – with a bright reassuring smile, he said.

–Very well. – she still agreed under the “heavy” pressure.

For a few seconds, Shiro thought about what to tell…

– Oh! Let me tell you about Shido. –

– Are you talking about that unpleasant teacher from school? The one we didn’t have time to save? –

– Yeah, about him. Didn’t you like him? –

– Yes. I don’t know what kind of teacher he is, but he’s definitely not a very good person… He looked more like a snake in the grass. –

– I completely agree with you. And you described it perfectly and now I’ll tell you why. This story begins with a brawl in the men’s room… –
