Policewoman-sanーーAizu Wakako-san’s belly got big just recently.
I remember that the two of them weren’t acting strangely before then.
They stopped having sex around May, they just held hands and as long as I didn’t give any orders they wouldn’t move about.
That’s right, there was nothing strange.
But this bellyーー
“Jin-nii, “there’s definitely something inside”
“You’re right……Saya, does it smell weird or anything?”
I ask the Saya who’s beside me.
“Unn, it doesn’t smell weird. It totally doesn’t smell of anyone or anything bad”
So it seems.
……Taking it as pregnancy, why did it become big suddenly.
If the sex in June were the cause of the pregnancy, it’s August now.
It should only have been about three months since……
“At any rate, the belly is becoming too big”
“That’s right”
Since she’s a zombie, the mechanism for pregnancy might be different from normal but……
“Jin-san…… what’s wrong?”
“Sakura-chan’s father also said he doesn’t know what is going on as well, and threw in the towel……”
He did say ‘Could it be a certain kind of evolution?’
“Just in case, we’ll bring her to Usokawa’s medical team, even though we don’t know if something is going to be born”
Who knows what’s coming1
※
“How is it?”
“I was asked ‘Is this really the third month of pregnancy?’, looking at the echo, it’s a healthy baby……as far as they can see”
I have brought the Ootsuchi group and Aizu couple to Usokawa’s facility and……
Ootsuchi-san seems to be having a normal baby but, the problem lies with the Aizu couple.
As far as it goes, the Aizu couple is listening to my orders but, whether or not the baby will as well is……
Something I wouldn’t know unless it’s born.
“……I’ll ask just in case but, when is the expected delivery date?”
“It wouldn’t be strange even if it’s anytime now, if there are all sorts of abnormality”
Well, since the parents are both zombies……
“Then, what do you plan on doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“This baby, who’s raising it? To begin with, will it even come out as a proper baby?”
……That is.
“I’m thinking in the worst case, isn’t it less troublesome to kill it before it’s born?”
However.
“But it’s a life that’s born in such a world……I want to not kill it as far as possible, I want to let it live”
A life born with great pains.
Lifes I have taken.
Both of it are the precious flame of life.
I don’t want to extinguish it, anymore.
“It’s fake kindness”
“Aa, it’s fake kindness for my self-gratification, but I want to save the lives that I can save. Usokawa, you did a lot because you thought so as well, right?”
“Well……I guess”
I somehow understand that Usokawa and the Infected Emperor called Eiko are lovers.
……I still haven’t met this Eiko yet.
Well, I think it can’t be helped since it’s not a person who can be met at a moment’s notice.
……I wonder what kind of a woman is she?
Could it be……no, it can’t be.
It’s not possible.
There’s no way.
But I’m curious……
Furthermore, there’s a high probability that this Infected Emperor called Eiko is a blood relative of mine.
If that’s the case……
“Hey Usokawa, it’s not related to what we were talking about but”
“……What is it?”
“It’s about the Infector Emperor named Eiko who’s here…… does she have a mole under her eye?”
“No? She doesn’t?”
He doesn’t seem to be……lying.
“If that’s the case, it’s fine”
※
“Jin-san, why did you ask about the mole out of nowhere”
“Aki-chan…… No, I was thinking, could the Infected Emperor called Eiko be my mother……”
My mother has a mole under her eye.
It stood out a lot, I remember it well even though I’ve only met her a couple of times.
“Jin-nii’s mother……that’s right, we currently don’t know about her whereabouts”
“Aa, where exactly is she”
With Aki-chan and girlsーーI’ve talked about my mother.
“Onii-chan, I don’t think that she’s it?”
“Nn? Is that so?”
“Un, the smell Usokawa carried on him is that of a young woman, base on Onii-chan’s mother’s age, she should smell like an old woman”
The smell of a young woman……which means she’s about her 20s.
“Then it’s not related to my mother huh……”
“She might surprisingly be your far relative”
Sakura-chan said that.
“I don’t think……it’s my father’s side”
The problem is on my mother’s side.
It seems that that mother of mine cut her connections with her family.
She said previously that she had a sister but, from that line?
“No way, right”
- Originally it’s ‘鬼が出るか、蛇が出るか’,’Oni ga deru ka, hebi ga deru ka’ which directly translates to: Is it a demon that comes out, or is it a snake that comes out’.Basically meaning being unable to see what’s coming in the future, unable to predict. Demon and snake is used to express uncanniness.
