How To Be Misunderstood as a Villain in a Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 20. Patriot (Complete)

But Leticia gave a cool answer this time too.

“You can’t define everything in the world! I love you and it’s the same thing. Does the doctor know love? The same goes for faith and patriotism. It means believing and loving what you can’t see. It’s a matter of imagination and experience. I don’t think it’s a bad thing if you don’t have it! But just because you didn’t feel it, I hope you don’t criticize me by saying you don’t understand other people’s emotions.”

This time Cassandra closed her mouth. She pursed her lips as if she had something to say, but she said nothing more. “I know,” She said, almost to the point where I could barely hear her, but that was all she said.

“It’s patriotism.”

Camilla’s monologue strangely trembled in her mouth. I looked at my phone. This time, five naked men were holding placards.

『John of Love, please give us love and save us from zombies』

I think it would be better to cover the lower body with a placard instead of covering the face. I wanted to change the subject.

“Are these people patriotic?”

“Because these people believe that believing in the Goddess of Hunger is Erza’s salvation. Logically speaking, it is true. It would be a bit ridiculous to say that you believe in the Goddess to save Erza. And you slept with those men. “If we work together, they’ll have more confidence, won’t you?”

Camilla squinted one of her eyes. I shook my head at her.

“No, I guess not.”

“Why?”

“In the first place, the answer to salvation should not be given right away. If it is given too easily, I think it is worthless.”

“But you gave women easy answers, right?”

Ah. Now I understand completely. Why the gods don’t listen to people. Because the gods were male. They probably didn’t want to listen to the naked, rag-tag men crying and throwing a tantrum.

But if God were a woman, would he have actively helped? I don’t think that’s the case again. Anyway, women don’t really like men who cry. I hate men who get angry even more.

“That’s because the women didn’t get upset with me.”

“John, what are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?”

* * * * *

Morning.

Leticia reads a cookbook, Cassandra sleeps in, and Camilla and I work out in the university auditorium.

“Okay. Inhale and exhale slowly. Okay, done!”

She finished her last set of burpees but didn’t flop her arms. She took a slow, steady breath and only then relaxed. As I wiped the sweat drops on the floor with a towel and drank some water, I saw Camilla leaning against the wall and smiling.

“Why?”

“No, I think I’m pretty used to exercising now.”

I intentionally strengthened my arms and bulged out the muscles. Camilla seemed to be holding back laughter.

“Do you want to participate in a bodybuilding competition? It’s still a long way away. Not even a year has passed. In cases where the body changes drastically, it is only because it was originally a mess or because of medication. You are getting better as expected. It would be much better if I ate fresh meat….”

I stood up, slapping my thighs. Perhaps because I rested for a few days, I felt like I had plenty of energy today.

“Camilla. Do you want to run track?”

“Oh, why?”

Camila was so excited that she jumped up and ran to me. We slowly ran around the basketball court. The stands that seemed to seat at least a hundred people and the empty cheerleading squad looked unusually large.

After summer, if there is a little rain, fall will come. When the leaves fall, it will snow, and after the cold winter, spring and summer come again.

Even then, that position will not be filled. No, I doubt whether this building will be okay.

‘War.’

A war that devours everything and collapses the national system. However, it is an all-out war between countries, with no specific details remaining as it remains only as a setting.

I don’t know exactly when it happens. However, it is clear that it was a long time after the zombie outbreak broke out. Can we find a safe shelter and hide before war breaks out?

“John. “What are you thinking like that?”

Camilla is still vibrant. But I understand Camilla to some degree now. She is someone who doesn’t like to pretend to be weak. She is a person who cares more about the people around her than herself and feels satisfied from that.

But I feel a certain emptiness in Camilla’s actions these days. An unknown darkness appears on her face, and her expression also looks a little gloomy.

I didn’t want to worry Camilla by talking about a war that hadn’t even happened yet.

“What do you think will happen in the future?”

As soon as those words were finished, Camilla extended her fist towards me. Of course, she didn’t respond as she openly sauntered, instead sticking out her tongue slightly.

“What’s with her fist, Camilla?”

“Every time you say something like that, something happens.”

Is that so? These days, I haven’t really thought about something happening.

As I ran, I counted my fingers one by one.

“Our version of the Cro virus is spreading smoothly. Zombies don’t attack us like we’re going to kill them anymore. As long as you don’t bleed. Of course, if you go out to the outskirts, you have to be a little cautious.”

“That’s right.”

“There are no survivors in Central Earth other than us. Materials are overflowing. You have bullets, food, medicine, you can go wherever you want, and sleep wherever you want. Uh, of course, it’s still a bit uncomfortable to walk along the main street.”

“That’s also true. “Thanks to you, I got a pretty blouse.”

Yesterday, I went to the luxury department store above the central district. Cassandra just watched in silence, but Camilla and Leticia attacked the closet with more force than hungry zombies. In the end, I had to take all the inventory from the warehouse, but it was quite pretty.

In addition, Leticia brought alcohol, and Cassandra secretly stopped by a lingerie store. ‘It’s hard to find underwear that fits… ‘It’s here.’ She even said something she didn’t need to say.

“The pheromone spray was also very successful. Cassandra has increased efficiency even more. I think everything is good except for one thing. Fanatics.”

“So, it’s life.”

The two of us increased our speed. Squeak, squeak, squeak. Beep. The auditorium floor rang loudly.

“I’m worried about you, Camilla.”

“Me?”

Camilla did not know English. I decided not to drag it any further. That day, after she told her story about patriotism, Camilla definitely changed.

“Leticia enjoys drinking alcohol. Cassandra devotes herself to research and is busy every time she solves a problem. “All I want to do is play and eat, and sometimes I’m happy when I get good equipment.”

“You know that.”

“What about you, Camilla? Do you have any other hobbies? “Not exercise.”

“John, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You seem to be having a hard time these days.”

Suddenly Camilla increased her speed. In her old days, she would have had a hard time keeping up, but now she could easily match her pace. Camilla laughed a little, but she ran even faster.

“Wow. Omg. Omg….”

Even though the speed was the same, there was too much difference in lung capacity. Even as I trudged along, she took one or two laps faster. She too was breathing heavily, but she never stopped. Finally, after about five more laps, she caught up before she stopped.

“I don’t know.”

Camila gave her answer too lightly. Her answer was enough to make me lose strength as I listened to it. Camilla slowly caught her breath. As if it was harder for her to give that one answer than she had been running around so far.

She even thinks it would be better not to say anything more. However, it was difficult for her to just pretend not to see the shadow on Camilla’s face. Because I can see it.

“… “Camilla.”

“What is it?”

“Do you want to go on a trip just the two of us? “Summer will be over soon, so I should try on a bikini swimsuit at least once.”

Her eyes sparkled when she heard the word “Sea.” But the light disappeared as if being washed away by a murky torrent. She returned with her face looking somehow tired as usual.

“… The water’s edge will be full of zombies, but I don’t really want to go there. It must smell amazing? The sea is so far away from here, and the rivers and lakes….”

“There is a swimming pool, too. “5 Star hotel in the central district.”

“There’s no water there, right?”

“It’s important to have a pool and a bed. At least the water won’t smell fishy.”

Camilla laughed, shaking her body at the not-so-funny joke.

“Let’s go and return secretly, just the two of us. I also sunbathe. “Eat something delicious.”

“What is it, suddenly?”

“You don’t like it?”

“It’s not like that…” .”

“I want to see you wearing that white swimsuit you kept in your suitcase.”

“Swimming pool….”

Camilla’s expression became quite complicated. She somehow felt like she got it right.

Camilla has always given up her favorite things. She loved swimming, but she had been robbed of the fun, and she loved Elsa, but she knew she didn’t know the right way to express it. He likes me, but he also knows that I sleep with other women. Camilla has never been angry with me, outright. Instead, I just struggle and hold my breath.

She was sorry about that.

“… Are you okay. “What about the swimming pool in the current situation?”

Camilla’s answer was a little disappointing. She was just trying to smile brightly, just like before. I was going to suggest one more time. But this time, I couldn’t say, “Let’s fill the tank with water.”

The gym door slammed open. Leticia came running with something in her hand. She felt like she was going to fall like a rugby player, but she didn’t fall and what she brought was a radio.

“What’s going on?”

“I think you guys should listen to this!”
