Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 11: Don’t think too much

"Really?!" 

Shizuka and the others were shocked when they heard Kyoko's words. 

When Isao went to his hands, naturally, they started to talk to each other, especially Kyoko, since there were so many things she wanted to say. 

"Yeah." Kyoko sighed helplessly. "If they can believe me, then this won't happen..." Sitting next to Shizuka, she couldn't help but utter the complaints in her heart, especially when she thought about how no one would believe her and how Isao had almost stopped the disaster that happened in this school. 

Isao had noticed something strange with Teshima and the male teacher and decided to throw them out of the gate. Kyoko, who was by his side, saw everything, but no one believed them when they explained what was happening. 

In the end, those who didn't believe in opening the gate led into the current situation. 

Hearing Kyoko's story, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, but inwardly, they were enraged at those who slandered Isao and Kyoko. If somehow they believed the two of them, then would all of this tragedy have happened?

Knowing that there was a chance they could be saved and those people who they knew wouldn't die, they couldn't help but feel frustrated. 

"What are you talking about?" Isao, who had just finished washing his hands, looked at Kyoko curiously since the mood within this room was strange. 

"It's about when you throw them out of the gate..." Kyoko told Isao what she had told everyone in gusto. 

While Isao was speechless, he said, "Everything had happened. There is nothing we can do. More importantly, who would believe the story that those "things" would exist when this morning everything was normal." 

"...." 

Isao was right.

If they didn't see those "things" with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe this would happen.

Without much care about their reactions, Isao naturally sat beside Kyoko and asked, "Are you all planning to see your parents?"

"Yes." 

The one who answered him was Takashi, the protagonist, who nodded at Isao's question. 

"Can you call them?" Isao asked. 

"No, they don't answer me..." Rei Miyamoto sighed and showed a worried expression when she thought that she couldn't contact her parents. 

"My father is on a business trip, and he should be okay." Saeko believed in her father, who was a master of swordsmanship. Even if the world was like this, she knew that her father would be okay. 

"How about you, Sensei? Hirano-Senpai? Takagi-senpai?" 

"Oh, my parents live far away, so it is okay for me," Shizuka said ditzily. 

"Like Busijima-senpai, my parents are on a business trip," Hirano answered flusteredly, feeling a bit nervous yet happy when he was mentioned. 

"My parents... they should be okay," Saya said after she thought for a while with a helpless expression. 

"Oh? Should they be okay? Are you from the military?" Isao asked curiously.

"No, my parents are... in a politician group." 

"Politician?" Isao knew that wasn't the case, but it didn't matter. "Then, do they have weapons or a bodyguard group?" 

"We-Weapons?! Bodyguards?!" 

While everyone was dumbfounded, Saya raised her brows and asked, "Why did you ask?" 

"So I can know whether your place is safe or not, Senpai. If your parents have weapons and a group of bodyguards, they should be ok, right? It's almost dark, and I want to search for a safe place to sleep." 

"...well, it seems to be okay." Saya thought for a moment, then nodded. "My house should be safe from those "things," and it is huge enough for everyone to stay." She knew her parents well, and she knew that they should be okay. Moreover, she would be more than happy if Isao led her back to her house. 

"Sensei, let's stay in her place for a while." After Isao got Saya's permission, he decided to bring Kyoko since he needed someone to accompany him to sleep at night. 

"Okay." Kyoko didn't mind either way as long as she could follow Isao. 

Isao then looked at the rest and asked, "How about you all? Do you have any other plans?" 

"I-I don't!" Hirano quickly raised his hand excitedly. "I don't mind staying at Takagi-san's house!" 

"...." 

Saya was speechless, but she didn't say anything and accepted Hirano. 

"Hmm... well, as long as it is a safe place, then it is okay." Shizuka felt that it was good as long as she could have a good place to sleep. 

"I don't mind either." Saeko was straightforward and accepted the offer right away. 

However, Takagi and Rei had trouble with this arrangement. The two of them wished to meet their parents right away, but they knew this was selfish, considering it was quite late, and they knew Isao and the others wanted to rest after a long day like this. 

"Takashi..." Rei looked at Takashi, hoping that he could say something or make a decision for her, but Takashi, himself, also didn't know what to do. Before, he was just a high school student who was cucked by his own friend. However, something like this happened, and a friend of his also died. 

What should I do?

Takashi hoped that they could visit their parents first, but—

"You two, are your house far away?" Isao suddenly asked. 

"Eh?" Takashi was surprised, but Rei quickly answered, "No, it is in the city. It's about half an hour with a train." 

"City, huh?"

"Is there a problem with the city?" Rei asked in concern. 

"With what has happened, the city must be crowded with all people." 

Hearing his words, Rei was helpless, but she knew that Isao was correct. If she usually took half an hour to reach her house, then this time, they might not even be able to arrive by the next day. 

Frankly, in Isao's mind, if there was something weird and unscientific about this world, it was how time worked. As everyone went to this school, there was no doubt their house should be closed, yet in his memory, it took them so many days to reach their house in the story, even though many roads were pretty empty, which made him speechless.

"Takagi-senpai, now that you mention it, what about your house? Is it in the city?" 

"My house isn't in the center of the city. The road shouldn't be crowded. Even if it's crowded, I know a place where we can go there smoothly," Saya said calmly. 

Isao nodded, then looked at Rei and Takagi. "How about you go to visit your house tomorrow?" 

"To-Tomorrow?" 

"Yeah. A day should make the situation calmer than today. By then, you can go to your family with ease. However, if you don't want to stay at Takagi-senpai's place, then I won't force you." 

"I..." 

Takashi once again couldn't make his decision, hesitating, but Rei nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's do that." She knew that the best way to stay alive in this situation was to follow Isao. While she knew that her childhood friend might not like it, she felt like this young man, who was much younger than her and her childhood friend, was much more reliable and could be trusted. Moreover, she could wait for a day, and it would give her a chance to prepare for what was happening and whether her family was okay or not. 

As for Takashi's decision?

Rei was sure that Takashi would follow her, and as expected, as she had made her decision, Takashi also agreed. 

"Okay, then, it's decided that we are all going to Takagi-senpai's house for a stay." 

"It's like a house visit!" Shizuka clapped her hands with a smile. 

"..." Everyone. 

"By the way, is the bus school still there?" Isao asked while looking at Hirano, who stood near the window. 

"Ah, yes, it's still there," Hirano answered after peeking through the window. 

"Let's get the bus to get out of here." 

No one disagreed, and they all agreed with Isao's decision. 

Everyone was ready, and they thought of going out, but Isao still sat lazily on the chair, looking for a remote. "By the way, does anyone see the remote?" 

"...aren't we going to make an escapade? What are you doing with the television remote?!" Saya asked with annoyance, yet also helpless and jealous of Isao's courage and calmness. If possible, she wished him to share some of this mental fortitude with her. 

"There is no need to be in a hurry. The bus key is on us. We can go there anytime, but before that, how about we learn what is happening first from the television?" 

Anyway, as long as he was there, everything would be okay. 

"Here's the remote." Rei found the remote and gave it to Isao. 

"Thanks, Senpai." 

Watching the two, Takashi tilted his head, but he didn't think too much since Isao or Rei had only known each other for a while, so it was impossible for a relationship to bloom between them, right?

As Isao was about to turn on the television, Saeko walked near Saya and asked, "What did you two talk about before?" 

"Huh?" Saya looked at Saeko with confusion, but then she thought for a while and asked, "Did you think that his decision to come to my house was because of my talk with him before?" She was a genius, after all, so she could tell what Saeko wanted to talk about with her. 

"Is that not the reason?" Saeko asked with confusion. 

"Of course not." Saya snorted before blushing when she thought about her previous conversation with Isao. "Do you think he is that kind of guy? But to be honest, I am not sure what is on his head and... what is he planning to do?" 

Unlike the others who wanted to meet their parents, what did Isao wish to do?

Was Isao really okay with staying at her house? 

Or was it because he wanted to comfort her?

"Isn't he worried about his parents?" Saya muttered, wondering why Isao kept asking for others yet not thinking about his parents. 

"He is an orphan," Saeko said softly. 

"Oh..." Saya couldn't say a single word, but then she looked at Saeko and asked curiously, "Do you know him before?" She felt like... Saeko knew Isao somehow. 

Saeko only smiled softly, but then, she didn't give her an answer since Rei's shocked voice attracted everyone. 

"Wh-What is this...?"
