e front entrance.

“My mistake caused you all a lot of trouble.
I’m really sorry…”

Kyuka apologized.
However, no one blamed her.
Besides, in the end, everyone had survived, and we had bought some time before the time limit.
I was more interested in the reason.

“Was there an extra dangerous zombie in the west ward?”

“Yes.
It came out when I pulled a lever.
Multiple times.”

So it was the same mistake that Canaria made…!
And multiple times!?
Was she that clumsy?

“The first time that I pulled a lever, a bookcase slid open and revealed a hidden room.
There were several great healing items inside.
And so I started to think that pulling levers would lead to healing items.”

“I see… Yes, it would be normal to think that after it happened once…”

“In fact, there were other times when it was the case.
However, there were also quite a few traps… And more time passed as I fought the zombies.
Many were quite strong, and one took off my arm.
It was my mistake…”

While that might be the case, the important thing was that she survived and was gathering items.
Who cares, as long as it ends well…
I was pretty sure that I would be pulling the levers myself if I was in her place.
However, I didn’t really know how to say this to her.
She did seem quite disappointed in herself…

“…However, I think that it was still worth the trouble you all went through.
Because I got every single item there is to get.
Especially since I got a certain item that is vital when trying to survive in a zombie attack.”

Kyuka was suddenly very excited.
Was it really that good of an item…!?

“Look.
It’s a rocket launcher!”

“…”

…Yes, rocket launchers were often seen as being the best weapon against zombies.
However, with waves of numerous zombies pushing at us.
Would one shot of a rocket launcher really change that much…?

“Ooh! That’s amazing, Kyuka! That’s why you’re the subleader!”

“Wow! That’s so cool! We practically have already won now that we have this!”

But Oliver and Anne were very excited, and so I decided to follow along.
It was true that it was a powerful weapon, so it would surely be useful.

“With this rocket launcher, we can take care of strong zombies with one hit.
It will be great during emergencies.”

“Right? And so I will entrust it to you.”

“What!?”

“You’re the one who saved me.
Besides, I’m not used to using ranged weapons.
So I’d want a professional like you to use it.”

While I might have been a professional with a bow, I had never used a rocket launcher before…
Still, I couldn’t argue against the logic that someone who used ranged weapons regularly should use it.
And like that, the possible trump card that was the rocket launcher, was put into my hands…

“Ah, by the way, Kyuji! How are things on the other side!? Canaria and your buddy are there, aren’t they?”

“Ah!”

I finished what I came to do, and so I should hurry up and return…!
Oliver had received an item from Gray that would heal Kyuka’s arm, and it was healed immediately.
Now they would have no trouble guarding the staircase.

Kyuka distributed the items she collected in the west ward, and then I drew back and went up the stairs.
I could no longer hear the sounds of the submachine gun that she had been firing off so cheerfully…
I hope that they were alright…!

“AHHHH!! Please don’t break the gate!!”

Canaria was still alive and well.
However, there were now zombies that swung giant iron hammers attacking the laser gate.
So, the smart ones had finally appeared…!

“AHhhhhhh!!”

That was Gray shouting now!
It was coming from above, even though there weren’t supposed to be any enemies there…

“Things are getting heated…”

It was just as the 1st hour of survival was almost up.
