Chapter 111: The return of the good person (Highschool of the Dead)
"It feels so nostalgic..." Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
As he smelled a familiar rotten and bloody smell in his surroundings, Isao felt that everything was so nostalgic. Even though he just stood there for a minute, gazing over the scenery from the window, he had stayed in another world for several years, being a husband and a father to many of his women and children.
Isao had anticipated that the journey would be arduous, but to his surprise, it was far less challenging than he had envisioned. The absence of financial strain due to his large wealth and extraordinary physical prowess provided comfort to all of his women and made their relationships more harmonious than he had imagined.
Moreover, with all of the experiences, mistakes, and many other things he gained from the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba," he felt that he had become a new man.
He was no longer the same man as before, and he was no longer a good guy wannabe.
At the same time, he realized that no matter how he tried to become a good guy, his essence remained the same.
It was like shit would be shit no matter how one tried to disguise it.
When he saw his children for the first time, he realized how evil, black, and disgusting he was. He realized that he was still a bad guy like before and, like Muzan had told him before his death, that his existence would bring destruction instead of hope to the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba."
However, he didn't intend to give up since even a shit that was disgusting could become a good fertilizer that gave a rich nutrient needed for crop production.
While it was a disgusting example, he should also aim for the same and become someone who could be used in his own way to benefit the world or even the universe.
Isao felt that he had become more mature somehow.
Still, there was no doubt that his gains in the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" were rich, especially in terms of his character.
At this moment, he had become closer to his ideal of a good person in his imagination.
This also made him realize how immature he was when he lived in the world of the "Highschool of the Dead," and instead of going to a new world to save those who were in need, he was going to stay in this world for a while to make all the people in this world to live a better life.
At least, he wanted them to have hope to live in this world instead of living in fear.
To do that, he made a list of what he should do, and he also didn't forget about his ambitions to walk around the country for a trip.
Ah, he wasn't going to enjoy this trip. Instead, there were many people who lived in terror in this country, so he thought he would help them, at least in his own way. When everything was settled, he tried to familiarize himself with the surroundings first since even if time stopped in this world, he had gone away from this world for several years, so he needed to adjust himself, especially when he had gotten used to living on the Taisho Period, where many things were still an inconvenience.
Frankly, compared to living in the "Kimetsu no Yaiba," his life in the "Highschool of the Dead" was heavenly.
So, with all of that, he decided to prepare for his trip.
"Are you going out again?"
"R-RV?"
Even Souchiro, who had always had a cold expression, was flabbergasted. All the men present had the same thought that this guy was so courageous to get a recreational van (RV) for a trip around the country.
Was he going on a trip?
Wait, he was!
Frankly, they thought that there was something wrong with Isao's head, but at the same time, his words also made them feel stupid for worrying about many things, especially when Isao seemed able to have fun in this kind of world.
"Okay."
Anyway, Souchiro also knew that Isao was going to go on a trip, and Isao could walk around smoothly and safely, so why should he be worried?
"If you don't mind, can you bring Saya with you?"
Souchiro even felt that it was better for Isao to bring Saya, too, so their relationship could be closer.
"Okay," Isao nodded. "But let me ask her first whether she wishes to follow me."
"You are right." Souchiro nodded. "But I think that she will agree if you ask her."
Isao only smiled and didn't say anything, but he sighed inwardly, wondering why this man wanted to throw his only daughter to the bottomless abyss.
Still, frankly, he felt a bit wary when he talked with Souchiro, but Souchiro seemed perfectly normal when there were many around. Nevertheless, he never let his guard down against Souchiro and squeezed his butts tight. Still, he was glad that Souchiro didn't have such disgusting eyes as before, especially when there were many eyes around them, but Yuriko suddenly said, "Dear, can I follow him too?"
"Hmm?" 2x
Not only Souchiro but Isao was also dumbfounded.
Why the heck did you want to follow me?
However, Souchiro seemed to be okay with his wife following Isao. "Sure, why not?" He was sure that his wife wanted to learn more about Isao, especially when Isao got ready for a trip around the country. As their daughter would follow Isao, Yuriko naturally wanted to learn more about Isao, so he agreed without hesitation.
Yet, at the same time, when he thought of a charming young man like Isao staying with his wife in a place that he didn't know, a throbbing feeling made his body shiver and his face flush red.
"...." Isao.
"There you have heard it." Yuriko smiled softly at Isao and said gently, "Please take care of me, Iinuma-kun."
"....." Isao.
