Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 5: It’s hard to become a good person

When the gate was opened, Teshima, Tanaka (another male teacher), and the man, all those three who had become "things," entered the school and attacked those who were closest to them. They opened their mouths wide and then bit down those teachers cruelly as they took a chunk of meat from their bodies. 

"ARRRGGGH!" 

"IT HURTS! IT HURTS!" 

"MAMA! HELP!" 

Those who were bitten cried painfully as they were screaming for help. 

Yet, no one helped them. Everyone stood in a freeze, watching all of this in disbelief. They just stood there, watching what was happening, before they saw those who were bitten also turn into "them" and run in their direction. 

"RAAAARRRRR!!!!" 

At that moment, the whole school was in chaos.

"STOP! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! ARRGGHH! IT HURTS! STOP!" 

"UWAAAAAAAAAA!" 

"RUN! RUN! RUN!" 

Kyoko wanted to say something, but no voice came out. She knew that as long as she said something, those "things" would come after her, and as long as she stayed quiet, no one would come after her, so she just stayed in silence, watching all of those "things" bit the teachers and students, increasing their numbers further until they couldn't be stopped anymore. 

Watching all of this, Isao thought that it was hard to become a good person. Even if his purpose sometimes was for the good of many, those he had saved didn't understand his sacrifice, and they just let themselves be ruined. Even worse, they would pull him along them. 

Yup, if there was a reason why he didn't say anything, it was because he knew it was meaningless. Some people might say to him that he should try more, but the situation before them was too ridiculous, and it was impossible for them to accept. 

In their minds, the thought of him having an affair with Kyoko was more believable. 

'Even though I didn't even touch Hayashi-sensei..." 

Isao knew that he might not be a good guy before, but there was something that he did or didn't do. While it was true that he was an orphan, his taste toward an older woman never had anything to do with his status. 

So, watching all of the people who were panicked, frightened, pushed, bitten, and then turned into "them," Isao didn't feel anything. Instead, he felt like he had become a good guy. Watching how many betrayed each other pushed those who were close to becoming a target of those "things" so they could run away; it was better that he shouldn't save them since having them gone from this world might be more beneficial for the world. 

'I see... this is the path of the good too!' 

Isao realized that being a good guy was tough, but he didn't give up! 

Still, when he thought about moving away, as he knew he might be affected sooner or later, Kyoko tightly hugged him. He looked at Kyoko, who didn't let him go and looked at him with a crying face. 

'Don't leave me...' 

Her voice was quiet, but she sounded so desperate since she didn't want him to leave her. 

'Can you walk?' Isao asked. 

"....." Kyoko. 

Isao was helpless, so he carried Kyoko on his arm calmly before walking away from the panic. No one paid attention to them when they walked away since everyone just wanted to stay alive, and they didn't care about the others. Run. This was what was in their thoughts at the time. Still, he had to say this mature woman was rather heavy, especially her buttocks and breasts. However, as he had decided to take care of Kyoko, he wouldn't leave her. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that how she leaned on him intimately, letting him feel her breasts generously on his face. 

"...Sensei, it's hard for me to breathe when you hug me like this." 

"So-Sorry...!" Kyoko apologized, but then, she also asked, "But... where are we going?" She didn't know what to do, and she was still panicked as she was unable to recover from the tragedy that happened before her. She should have stopped them, but no one listened to her, then in the end... was this her fault? Yet, she also didn't want to die. Her head was in a mess, and she was just... confused. 

Nevertheless, even if she was confused, she knew that she could rely on Isao. 

Why? 

There was no need to answer that inappropriate question, right?

Still, she had to admit that instead of sadness, she felt like... it was good to watch those who slandered her and Isao. The two of them just wanted to help everyone, and he worked hard and forcefully calmed himself, yet the others were just...

"Hmm... let's go to the storage room." 

"...are we hiding there?" 

"Something like that. I want to calm down for a while there." 

While he had to admit that he had expected everything that happened before him, he had to say he would be lying if he didn't fluster. Moreover, he realized that there seemed to be more about his power. He was thinking of checking this power, calming down as he thought about what he should do since his every day was destroyed by this outbreak. 

So, Isao walked toward the gymnasium smoothly and even stopped at the vending machine. If it had been before, he might have put his money in it, but in this situation, it didn't matter anymore, so he just vandalized this machine with his fist. 

*Bang!*

"...." Kyoko. 

"Help me to hold some of them, Sensei." 

"Ah, um..." Kyoko didn't refuse since she had to admit that she was also quite scared of Isao, who could punch through the vending machine with his fist, but then when she saw his bleeding fist, she got worried about him. "Yo-Your hand..." 

"It's okay. It helps me to calm down."

While Isao had become stronger, he had to say he wasn't invincible. He could still bleed and wasn't strong enough to throw a punch that caused a large crater on the ground casually, but he knew that he should be strong enough to throw this vending machine. 

Moreover... with this ability, if he was bitten by those "things," he should be okay, right?

However, when he thought a chunk of his flesh was bitten by those "things," he felt like he shouldn't be okay, but at the same time, he also felt like he shouldn't turned into those "things," as his ability allowed him to replicate the DNA of living being inside his body. 

If he could replicate the DNA of a dog, a cat, and a fly, then shouldn't he be able to replicate the DNA of those "things"?

Yet, he could do that later since he saw that he was being chased by those "things"!

As he ran into the gymnasium toward the storage, Kyoko hugged him tightly, closed her lips tightly, frightened, and even dropped some of the drinks. Fortunately, his running speed was rather fast, probably due to the increase in his physical ability after he absorbed the DNA of those animals, along with his excellent physical ability base. 

Nevertheless, as he was able to reach the storage, he closed the door and locked it from inside directly. 

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Those "things" banged on the door several times, but as neither Isao nor Kyoko said anything, they soon left, as there were many loud noises around them. 

Then, when everything was quiet, the two looked at each other and sighed in relief. They knew that they were okay. Still, when Isao thought that he was okay, Kyoko couldn't control her calm anymore, and she went into hysteria. 

"W-What should we do, Iinuma-kun? Everyone had become those things! The vice principal, the other teachers, and even many students! Everyone... Everyone..." 

Kyoko also felt like everything was her fault, and she became even more guilty, making her fall into deeper remorse. But suddenly, her lips were taken. Isao kissed her soft red lips, causing her to be stunned still, and she couldn't comprehend what was happening. Her head was blank, and all she could do was be in a daze. Fortunately, he didn't give her a deep kiss, just a light kiss. 

"Have you calmed down, Sensei?" 

Instead of calming down, her breathing became rapid, and her heart beat so fast that Kyoko leaped into him, using her ripened, mature body to hug this young man's body tightly. 

Isao was startled because he didn't expect to be attacked. Yet, as a man and a good guy, he knew that Kyoko needed someone to comfort her, so he decided to do his best to comfort this beautiful, mature woman. 

'Don't worry, Teshima-sensei. I will take care of Hayashi-sensei.' 

As he made such a vow, thinking that Teshima would be happy in the afterlife, knowing that Kyoko was taken care of by him, a familiar sound was heard inside his head. 

[You have acquired the DNA of Kyoko Hayashi.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

"??????"
