Nanami is no longer the usual techy, cheerful girl I keep on seeing. Her level of despair is so overwhelming that its started to get contagious to the others. They too, feel the hopelessness.

I approached Nanami and when she raised her face to me...

Pa!

I slapped her face with force, causing her to fell back into he floor.

"Kyosei! What are you doing?!" Cindy perked up.

"Did he just slapped the girl to her senses?" Kaito whispered to Satsuki who shrugged as an answer.

"You are so pathetic Nanami," I said with condescending tone.

Nanami holds her red cheek that got slapped and looked at me.

"One death is not worth to cry a river. Stop acting depressed. The moral of the group is plummeting. I appointed you as my second in command while I am gone so that you can manage the group but then what now? You yourself fell into despair!" I snorted.

"What do you know? You don't know how painful it is! Someone who is a very close friend to you but in the end, he just died like nothing! Do you think its a good thing? Do you treat human lives as just mere fleeting waves? You don't understand-"

"SHUT UP!"

Nanami didn't get to say what she wanted to say after I shouted.

"You b*tch, you don't know how painful it is. You are not he only one who lose a very close friend. All of us here. And although I am not as emotional as you in grieving!" I gritted my teeth.

Nanami went silent as I said those words. Looks like I hit the sore spot but I don't intend to stop.

"Look here, b*tch. I am calling you one because you can't understand a single bit. Dying is a natural thing, much worse in this situation and our foot is always stepping on a quicksand. However, just accept death easily and use it to temper yourself to get stronger to avoid that thing from happening. I did not understand? What a joke, do you think I did not understand the feeling of someone else dying? I did! And its much worse than you!

"My little sister died because of a sickness. And a few days after that, my parents followed after a car crash, leaving me the only survivor when I was six. I became an orphan and lived by myself. Although I managed to live off the life of a carefree life in the past, do you think I did not get to feel it? It intensified during the bullying part and I really hated myself for being weak. For being unable to save anyone that I loved. And those happened again during the first day of the outbreak. Don't you remember? Leo, the person I looked up to as a dad also died with me only being able to watch. But look, I am here managing he group," I glared at Nanami.

"But you are string..."Nanami weakly said as tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Pah, strong? You are wrong, I am weak, but because of all the deaths I witnessed, I managed to become one. Today, use that, death of that guy and temper yourself. This isn't the only death we will be seeing in the future so you can't just keep whining about it and move on, if you can't, then go die," I said and walked off to meet Shoko.

Miyuki, Cindy, Chie, the twins, and the others approached Nanami in a worried manner.

"Are you okay Nanami? Are you hurt by Kyosei's slap?" Cindy asked.

"Kyosei, he really go too far this time," Miyuki clenches her fist.

"No... he is right. He carried a more heavy burden. I shouldn't be whining about it and should just move on... although it was a hard thing to do. I can't just get the same like Kyosei who managed to get it over with. I know its hard but I will try. If a single death like this made me crumble, I should have not be alive today. Besides, Nejima still did a good job protecting my brother. I still had my brother and we still have yet to find my parents. I can still continue living but I will be carrying Nejima's will with me. I won't back down like earlier anymore..."Nanami clenches her hands into fists with resolve.

The others were also amazed, just a severe scolding managed someone to cheer up just like that. With that case, the others' morale returned back to normal. After all, they all got the resolve from Kyosei himself. He is not just the leader in name only because he is the most qualified and level headed of the group.

I came deeper into the store and saw Shoko and Kota currently arranging a few weapons into the racks and putting several guns into crates.

"Hey..." I said to them.

"Oh, hey there! You managed to stay alive? And would you look at that! The Kukri you bought last time is also alive! But its getting duller at the moment," Shoko said to me.

I looked at her in a weird way. She can actually tell the Kukri being dull a bit just by looking at its handle? The blade is hidden by he scabbard so how did she know?

"Do not get too surprised, its Shoko's skill that made her able to determine whether a blade you are holding is dull or not," Kota explained.

"I am not asking, and furthermore, I am not surprised," I said to him.

"Eek!" Kota shirked away.

"So, what business do you have with me this time, Little Devil?" Shoko smiled.

"Did the cleaver I asked you to repair got repaired already?" I asked.

"Oh, I thought you forgotten about it already, well, since its been a few days and the blade is just in need of a new replacement, it was quickly replaced," Shoko said and goes to a counter in the corner and pull out a shiny looking cleaver before handing it to me.

"Here, this is the cleaver. I would like two jewelries please for payment," Shoko smiled.

"Here," I tossed out two bracelets with amethyst stone on it. Kota quickly caught the two bracelets out and stored the items somewhere.

"I want to ask a good amount supply of bullets and show me a few weapons. Any kind for melee. The guns are not included. Just melee weapons only, I am willing to trade or buy if I found something," I said to her.

The corner of Shoko's lips curved up to a smile.

"Pleasure doing business with you..." Shook bowed with a smile as sinister as most merchants wears.
