Instant Death - Volume 1 - Chapter 34

TL: Thy Unsus
ED: Upsilon

Chapter 34 – Let’s look like Allies of Justice for just a little more!
First, Yogiri considered if it would be good to leave the town secretly, but that was impossible since they had been completely discovered.
As there was an uproar once they were found, people flooded to there.
However, there wasn’t even an iota of restraint as they believed Yogiri was an ordinary person.

“I’ll kill you if you come closer.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri conveyed his straightforward demand, and did exactly as he said.
From the back of the alley to the main street. He continued to walk without hesitation while killing the noisy people who rushed him.
Naturally the uproar became bigger, and they surrounded Yogiri and others as even more people continued to gather.

“Why are you acting sluggishly! Do it! Do it and kill him!” (Random Citizen)

“Are you stupid! When you get closer……” (Random Citizen 2)

Having not understood the circumstances, the hot blooded people with ardor had closely approached and broken through the enclosure.
Just as they crossed the boundary of death, the stupid people died.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone carrying out their words to such a disgusting degree!” (Tomochika)

Tomochika said that seemingly by reflex seeing the reckless suicide attacks.

“Even though they continue to approach with the intent to kill, it’s funny they think I won’t kill them.” (Yogiri)

“No no no, because they wouldn’t think they would die only by approaching normally!” (Tomochika)

Yogiri believed he had no obligation to explain it many times over. It was foolish to continue to approach this way by seeing this situation.

『But you aren’t agitated when seeing casualties.』(Mokomoko)

“It’s because of the seal being lifted!” (Tomochika)

『Don’t go and say it’s to blame. This place isn’t the peaceful Japan. Since you are bothered when push comes to shove and become shocked speechless around people dying.』(Mokomoko)

If it was from Yogiri, he thought Tomochika hadn’t been very perturbed by one thing or another in the parallel world from the beginning. There would still be enough room for him to make a retort.

“However, what’s with these people?” (Yogiri)

The people who had come were matching Yogiri’s movements without separating or attacking him.
A crowd of people had been completed towards the back from the left and right. It was composed of a semicircle about 10 meters in diameter.

“They aren’t able to leave us alone after finding us.” (Tomochika)

Was it that they hadn’t discovered they could lower their raised fists, or was it the truth that they had seen a scary thing.¹ He didn’t understand what type of mentality it was, he wasn’t able to leave or approach, but they continued to follow him loosely.
However, it seemed they started to become self-aware of the stupid manner of walking in a group, as they appeared to be regaining their composure.

“Say, where is the plaza you are taking us to in case you catch us?” (Yogiri)

“Ah, yes. If you go straight ahead the central plaza is there. But, what are you planning to do?” (Random Citizen 3)

To the right, a middle-aged man responded while walking and maintaining his position of being separated a little.

“I asked because I intend to go.” (Yogiri)

“Hey……then why didn’t you say you were doing so from the beginning if that’s the case! Then it wouldn’t have been necessary for so many to die in that way!” (Random Citizen 3->Middle-aged Man)

“Why should it be my concern if I am attacked abruptly?” (Yogiri)²

Yogiri had stopped by the town by chance in that situation, only to be aimed at for some reason.
For example, assuming it was Yogiri’s fault for just him to be aimed at, it was Masayuki who dragged the town into this, so he was on the verge of wanting to say it was possible to complain there.

“If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be good to leave the town quickly? I think you would be able to do something to the barrier?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika thought it would be better in that case to escape without going to the plaza or something if he didn’t care about the people in the town.

『Hmm. They have continued to suffer from their spurred impudentness.』(Mokomoko)

“Although I think I am able to do so, what are we going to do after we leave the city? Are you saying we’re walking until the next town?” (Yogiri)

『Certainly. I heard that a steep canyon will go on from here until the Imperial Capital. Moving would be relentless if it isn’t by train.』(Mokomoko)

“So somehow, we have to move the train.” (Yogiri)

For that reason, it would finish up quickly by meeting with Masayuki who had caused this situation. Yogiri thought so.

“That……what. I think it was wrong to try to attack you without thinking. But, what exactly are you planning to do?” (Middle-aged Man)

Whether or not it was because he had become tense and replied first, the middle-aged man had become something like a representative.

“I will try to talk a little.” (Yogiri)

“The other party is a follower of Sage-sama, and he is doing such a thing. I don’t think you can get him to respond to you directly.” (Middle-aged Man)

Whether or not he hadn’t understood his position or something, the man spoke such a thing.

“It’s bad to be too simplistic, but I will eliminate him then. I have no choice as he’s just such an obstacle if I can’t talk to him.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri and the others finally arrived at the plaza while he was saying such things.
If that place was as usual, it would be a place for relaxation and refreshment where many people would gather.
However, ugly monsters were gathered there and making a commotion, and there wasn’t anything trying to have serenity.
Damaged, rotting, and distorted humans were wandering about, and skeletal corpses were making rattling noises. Gargoyles were flapping their wings through the sky, and giants made of rock were overlooking the surroundings.
They were the ‘Immortality Corps’.
As they were walking towards the center of the plaza, their followers had gone away unnoticed. They had stopped following them around the entrance of the plaza.

“Hahaha~. Among what I’ve seen up to now, is this the most parallel world fantasy-like I wonder? Although it isn’t an enjoyable impression……” (Tomochika)

Tomochika was pretending to be tough, but panic could be felt in her voice.
Facing the other side, the armoured vehicles that Tomochika said she saw were lined up.
Having looked at it, it didn’t seem they could be able to accommodate every monster that was in this place in the cars, so the moving corpses had to be raised in this town.

“How about stealing that car?” (Yogiri)

The car appeared to be sturdy. Perhaps it would barely manage to reach until the Imperial Capital if it was ready in some way or another with fuel.

“Are you able to drive, Takatou-kun?” (Tomochika)

“I have done it in Mari◯ Kart” (Yogiri)³

“Uwa~, I don’t want to let such people drive~……” (Tomochika)

There were only Japanese people in front of the armoured cars.
However, the majority of them were dead.
It would seem that Japanese people were collected regardless of gender or age and were killed here. They had been piled up carelessly.
Only two Japanese people were alive.
One man was wearing a suit next to the mountain of corpses. He was standing stock still while stuck in the situation.
And, the other one was on top of the mountain of corpses.
Seated on a corpse, with a gap in his large legs, was a man wearing a black coat on his bare skin while he lorded over the plaza.
It was clear with a glance that he was Masayuki. Intention could be felt in the glint of his eyes unlike the undead. Although, his purpose would be worthless as he was someone who trampled on dead bodies.

“Aan~? Did you possibly appear to come and die? Isn’t that right you might say, hey! Or perhaps I should say you became the scapegoat for everyone in the city?” (Masayuki)

Masayuki bent his face broadly. He seemed to be pleased if the people of his objective came along, but he didn’t seem to welcome it very much.

“Was there such a reason?” (Yogiri)

“No no no, don’t deny it instantly! Let’s look like allies of justice for just a little more!” (Tomochika)

Tomochika said it while flustered, but it wasn’t really Yogiri’s intention to do it for the city.

“Do you have any intention to talk?” (Yogiri)

“I won’t talk. It’s no good. I won’t give consent without receiving an explanation that comes expressly after you die.⁴ This way I’ll keep my promise even though things looks like this. This game is completely finished if I kill you.” (Masayuki)

Masayuki’s expression was irritated. While he said that he promised, there was a lot of room for interpretation in what he said. It was likely that the superior sages said it was alright to do anything if it was to kill Yogiri. They wouldn’t be able to be more unreasonable than killing the two, if that theory was correct.

“We want to go to the Imperial Capital and be taken there by train. Please fix the barrier in order to let us use the station.” (Yogiri)

“……whaa~at?” (Masayuki)

Masayuki froze with a stupid face. He wasn’t able to quite comprehend the thing that Yogiri had said.
After that, he needed some time before he started to move, and Yogiri continued to wait patiently for that.

“Hey hey hey, hey hey hey! That’s extremely lacking to say! Aren’t you able to say something a little more sensible! Are you fully aware of things like your position of being able to request that! If you would attempt to do that, then use your head more! Are you stupid? Are you that stupid!?” (Masayuki)

“Ah, there needs to be transaction material if it’s a negotiation. If that’s the case, then I will do something for you by letting you live although you are irritating. It would be necessary for you to deal with things after the barrier is removed.” (Yogiri)

Masayuki hardened once again.
He was unable to settle his mind because of Yogiri’s attitude of being uninterested, as only his cheeks were twitching.

“What is this talk, you would only make me feel angry!  Die quickly! Aah~!?” (Masayuki)

Masayuki stood up with rage.
Whether or not it was a signal, the undead all faced towards Yogiri at once while staggering.

“Die.” (Yogiri)

However, the situation suddenly changed in the plaza with that one word from Yogiri.
The dead bodies that had been clamouring collapsed with a rattling noise. The gargoyles that had been flying in the sky were falling and changing into ordinary stone statues, and the rock giants collapsed and flattened several undead.
Here, the ‘Immortality Corps’ were annihilated with the exception of the leader.
