Chapter 6 - A01: Daily Life’s Collapse

“No! There are too many people….Guys, don’t ever let go!”

“Ugyuuu~ I’m going to be crushed~”

“This one right here is about to choke on her big tits….”

“This is not the time to make jokes, you idiot! Don’t let go!”

“Yes!”

“Why won’t the door open?! Hey! Waitress! What is going on?!”

“The door is stuck?! What’s going on?!”

“Hey, waitress?! Where’s the waitress?!”

“You were the one who led us here, right? Take responsibility!”

“Huh?! What the fuck?!”

“Wow…Everyone is in a panic. What’s a grown man screaming about?”

“Looking at it this way, humans really are ugly creatures.”

“……”

“Hey! This guy’s really choking?!”

“Ahahaha, I’m sorry. I was trying to hold on to her tight.”

“More importantly, did Otoha and Sakuya escape?”

“More importantly you say….. Well, I’m sure they’re fine. I’m sure we’ll see them out there.”

Immediately after that, there was a tremendous explosion and a tremor so loud that I thought it was an earthquake.

Slowly and loudly, various things began to fall apart little by little.

A large pillar in the centre of the building fell into the crowd, and several people were trapped underneath it.

The impact of the fallen pillar caused a spray of red blood to scatter, staining those around it red.

In the midst of this hellish mixture of screams and cries, we stood there holding hands tightly.

“Th, this way! Come on, let’s go!”

Minamoto Hazuki, the person with the pseudo kansai dialect, instantly pulled us along and started running.

“Hey, I still can’t get my legs to work.”

Misaki Kikugawa, a woman with big natural breasts who is wobbly but didn’t let go of our hands, and Honoka Kuribayashi, a mysterious girl who is still buried in Misaki’s chest.

And I’m Azusa Toyama, the oratorical but inwardly scared girl.

We’ve been friends since junior high school, attending the same club and living in the same dormitory.

We’ve been together for such a long time that it’s become natural for us to be together.

I guess it’s just right that there are four of us.

We all have different personalities, and it balances each other out nicely….

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m the biggest child in the world.

When someone is not around, I feel strangely fidgety.

When Hazuki got a boyfriend, the three of us would go out of our way to interfere with her date, and when I was on a date with my boyfriend, the three of them would come to interfere.

In fact, I was the one waiting for them…

It’s a strange thing to have such a rotten relationship.

I wonder if Otoha and Sakuya are the same as us?

Otoha told me that they were best friends from elementary school.

Those two….Or rather, Otoha’s unusual love for Sakuya is too much.

At first, I couldn’t believe that such a beautiful girl, who could attract any number of men, would be with Sakuya, an unsociable person who was always quiet and expressionless.

Well, as we got to know each other, I found out that Sakuya was not as bad as she looked.

On the contrary, when I saw her always being so usual and sweet to Otoha, she looked like a cute little animal.

In fact, everyone is misled by her unapproachable atmosphere and her assassin-like appearance with a scarf covering her mouth, but in fact, she is a beautiful girl who looks as good as Otoha.

We had only recently realised this fact.

We wanted to get to know Sakuya better, just like we did with Otoha.

That’s why we invited her to go to the café with us.

It was supposed to be a fun after-school activity….But I never thought it would turn out like this.

Anyway, we have to get out of this building as soon as possible.

Hazuki led the way to the exit for employees.

However, the door beyond that was also completely sealed from the outside.

The shaking was getting louder and louder, and I somehow knew that the entire building was on the verge of collapse.

“This is a problem. The building is warped and the door won’t open~”

“Don’t suddenly speak calmly only at times like this, Misaki. But you’re right, it’s time like this when being calm is the best.”

“There’s one guy here who remembers that the hall ahead is partially open.”

“Really?! Well done, Honoka!”

“That’s it! Let’s run for it!”

“Let’s go quickly! The building’s in trouble!”

We were desperately running.

However, it was hard to move on as various things had fallen over and were scattered about.

If you look down, you can see a lot of dead bodies.

Even those who were barely breathing, parts of their body were either missing or had been crushed.

These people were moaning and desperately calling for help.

It’s scary…

I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared.

That was all I could think about anymore.

Even so, the one pulling my hand, Hazuki, was desperately running ahead of me.

I grabbed Misaki’s hand and squeezed it tightly so that I wouldn’t let my feelings go to waste.

A few more steps and we’ll be at the exit.

Just when I thought there was hope for all of us….A large pillar fell in front of me.

I was blown away by the momentum, and I was still holding Hazuki and Misaki’s hands in both of mine.

However, their bodies were not attached to their hands.

The last thing I saw was Hazuki with her head lying on the floor, Misaki and Honoka with their bodies bent in strange directions.

I also saw the sight of Otoha, who was about to fall headfirst to the ground outside of the store we were aiming for.

After that, I heard a strange gurgling sound from myself, and I lost consciousness.

TL here, these chapters named “Another”, from what I understand are in fact secondary story lines which…. Well, they’ll end up somewhere…. Ah, and also. Rip the girls 🙁 I genuinely thought they would be able to escape.

Hope you had a good time reading the chapter! If you would like to support me in getting out chapters faster, you could maybe buy me a kofi!
