Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City 57 You are the one who is at fault (Patreon)

'As expected of the protagonist,' Isao thought. 

In the beginning, Takashi came out from the estate with several people who were moved by his words, but now? 

The only one who returned was Takashi, and he was also being chased by those "things." 

Still, instead of being worried, Isao felt happy with Takashi's return. He came out of the wall that separated the estate and the outside world, using his baton to smash those "things" smoothly. 

Saeko also came out to help Isao, and they fought together. 

Watching Isao had helped him, Takashi sighed in relief and even plopped on the ground. 

"You are not safe yet. Go there on the wall instead of sitting on the street letting yourself be bitten by those "things," Isao said calmly while thinking that Takashi was quite stupid. 

"Oh-Oh!" 

So, with Isao's words, the three quickly entered the wall, and those "things" couldn't chase after them anymore. Still, at this moment, everyone was quiet, and no one said anything. However, when they walked away and had some distance from those "things," they sighed in relief before they looked at Takashi, but—

"Where is Takezo?! Where is he?!" Naomi grew desperate when she saw Takashi was alone. 

Takashi was stunned by this question, but he couldn't look at Naomi straight before he looked away.

"You bastard! How dare you?! If you didn't bring him outside, would this happen?!" Naomi was angry and wanted to beat Takashi while crying. 

"It wasn't my fault! They were the ones who wanted to follow me! I wasn't at fault!" 

Takashi argued since it was the truth, he didn't do anything wrong. They were the ones who had decided to follow him and he didn't promise them that he would protect everyone. 

"You!" Naomi was desperate and even further by Takashi's irresponsibility. "You coward! Why didn't you have to go back?! Just die outside!" Her words were harsh, but those words came out from her heart, especially when she thought about how this guy had also abandoned them in the beginning when they were surrounded by those "things." 

At the same time, Naomi also felt an endless regret at why she let her boyfriend follow this coward! 

Naomi's accusation was loud, and everyone heard it. 

"Anyway, I am not at fault!" 

Takashi tried to escape reality by denying everything. He knew that he was wrong, but he couldn't accept it. He thought that everything went well, but why did it end in failure? 

Watching Takashi, no one said anything, and they only looked at this guy in disdain, considering how pathetic this guy was. 

Yet, Isao felt like Takashi was a normal person. 

Being scared, he ran away, trying to save himself by sacrificing others. 

Wasn't that how a human be?

If Isao was a bad guy, he would follow others, looking at Takashi in disdain, but he was a good person, so he didn't say anything and only thought that Takashi's luck was great. At the same time, he could also imagine that this failure might temper Takashi's personality and make him a great person. 

Frankly, Isao had a great expectation of the protagonist since if Takashi could become a leader, then he could throw away all the responsibility and enjoy his life, touring around the country, but then again, with how pathetic Takashi currently is and how the image was seen by everyone, he sighed inwardly, feeling a heavy burden on his shoulders again. 

Fortunately, Isao had Rei to comfort him, so he was okay. 

"What about everyone? Where are they?" Isao asked, causing all the attention to be put on Takashi once again. 

"Why is he like this?" Kiriko asked her daughter, feeling weird about the change in her daughter's childhood friend. 

"He is always like this," Rei said calmly. She wasn't surprised by Takashi's act; instead, it was normal since if Takashi wasn't like this, then would she fall on Isao's arms?

"They... are in the suburban area..." Takashi answered while lowering his head. 

"Is Takezo okay? Is he still alive?" Naomi quickly asked. 

"I am not sure." Takashi had run away, so he wasn't sure whether they were all okay or not. 

"No way..." Naomi plopped on the ground as she cried, but then her eyes were staring at Isao before a glimmer of hope was born in her eyes. "Iinuma-kun, please save Takezo! I will do everything for you! Please! Save him!" She was so desperate that she groveled on the ground while hugging his leg. 

If someone could save Takezo, then it would only be Isao. 

His strong and reliable image was already imprinted on Naomi's eyes. 

As long as Isao was willing, he could do anything.

If Isao was willing, then saving Isao was possible. 

Naomi even pressed her lovely breasts against Isao's legs and lightly touched his nether region. She knew that this might seem like a despicable move, but she knew that she had nothing. The only precious thing she had was her body, which was devoted for her boyfriend. 

If Isao was willing to help her, then—

"Don't be selfish!" 

"Do you want to throw him into danger!" 

"Did you forget what you said before?!" 

Instantly, Naomi's words detonated all the women present. 

Rei even directly pushed Naomi away while hugging Isao tightly, causing Takashi to be dumbfounded, yet why should Rei even care about Takashi? 

"Please, I beg you!" 

However, even if Naomi was pushed away, she didn't give up and even kowtowed, pressing her head against the dirty ground and begging Isao. 

"..." 

Isao had to say that being a good person was hard since something like this would always happen. Being asked to help, help, help, help, help, many kept begging him to help without even considering the dangers and consequences of their requests to him. 

Isao was fortunate that he had a system, but what if he wasn't? 

What did this girl think of him?

If he didn't help her, then what would happen? He could imagine that she would blame him or, even worse, she might commit suicide, and then she would linger on his dream and become his nightmare. 

Why do people love to cause for others? 

Isao just wanted to live quietly, yet why did the world want to trouble him? 

Moreover, why did Naomi not ask for the help of an adult who should be more reliable? 

Still, as a good person, he had to calm down. He closed his eyes for a while and thought of the only way to solve this situation. "I will do what I can, but don't expect anything." 

In the end, he decided to help. 

"Thank you!" 

Naomi was moved to tears as she looked at Isao happily. 

"Wait here. I will go out first." 

"Are you really going out? It's already dark. You can go out tomorrow." Rei hugged him tightly, thinking that she should tell him to force him to stay, and then made him change his decision tomorrow so he wouldn't go out. 

"It's fine. The faster, the better, after all." 

Rei was bitter, but she knew that this guy wouldn't listen to her. Still, she kissed his lips directly in front of everyone as if trying to mark him and encourage him to return. 

Many saw this in silence and were in a complicated mood, especially the girls and the women who had feelings for him. 

Saya was in silence and felt bitter inwardly, wondering why she couldn't be honest. 

Only Isao was speechless. Why did it feel like he was that character who died after being kissed by the heroine? 

"Then, I will go now. Wait for me tight." Isao patted Rei's buttocks softly, then walked away. 

"Wait, Isao-kun, I will follow you!" Saeko suddenly said. 

"...you will?" 

"Yes!" Saeko nodded. "I can fight. I won't be a burden."

"Okay, follow me." 

"Yes." 

The two then quickly left the wall, moving toward the place where Takashi told. 

Only Rei was dumbfounded, especially when she saw Saeko glancing in her direction. 

'That bitch!' 

Did Rei think that she had won? 

No way! 

Even if it was despicable and dirty, wasn't Rei the one who made such a dirty move first? 

So, don't blame them for being merciless!

Saya thought so, watching Isao leave as she made up her mind. 

Only Takashi was confused and even more hurt. 

What was happening? 

On the other hand, Takezo and Hirano stayed together, escaping after their friends died. 

"We will be okay!" 

"Yeah, leave everything to us!" 

The two said so to the little girl they had saved, yet their expression was heavy, especially when Takashi had left them, escaping by himself. 

At the same time, they hoped for someone to save them!
