Takaya thought he was as good as dead when he was banished from the class.
It may have been small in scale, but the classmates other than Takaya had literally survived the âbattleâ. Now miraculously everyone is safe, but it wouldnât have been strange if any of them became a casualty.
In the future, in order for him to survive in this world, he will have to fight alone and without the help of anyone.
Would he, who can only mess with corpses, be able to fight off the demonic beasts and other creatures that come at him in the flesh, full of life and intent on attacking? Absolutely not.
âI know that itâs useless to resistâ, Takayaâs thoughts were negative and depressed and he thought it would be better if he died by his own hands.
âFortunately, I have the tools for that âŚâ
He picked up the dismantling knife he had been using until a few moments ago and lightly placed the blade against his wrist.
Since he was using it for work, he had to maintain it constantly, and even though the blade dulled a little, it was still sharp. If he pulled it with all his strength, he could easily cut the blood vessel in his wrist.
If itâs left like that, he would die of blood loss and then itâs goodbye.
Itâs ironic that the weapon he had been using to slice and dice his prey would end up killing him.
Itâs not like I want to do it- butâŚ
âWell, where should I go now?â
Takaya was currently in the woods, a little further away from the neighboring village. His former classmates, who he had already separated from, are planning to continue through the forest and head for the city just beyond the mountain.
Akito said at a meeting a while ago that their current goal is to somehow return to their âoriginal worldâ and to go to as many places as possible to gather that information. Takaya remembered. But now it has nothing to do with him.
When Takaya shook his head to forget about them, he suddenly remembered the little weight on his waist.
âMoney and the magic stone⌠what should I do?â
The money in Takayaâs pocket was about a week to a monthâs worth of living expenses, thanks to his stealing of the magic stone, but that wasnât necessary for someone who was about to die.
However, it feels like a waste to let it rot.
â⌠Should I try to use it all up in a day?â
If he stayed at a cheap inn and saved food expenses as much as possible, he could extend it to two months. Itâs not a small guilt for Takaya, who was small-minded, to use it all at once.
But he was going to die in the not-too-distant future anyway.
So he shouldnât have any complaints about doing that. Besides, Takaya was alone now. There was no one to nag him like before and he would not be subjected to violence.
With that in mind, he felt his depressed mood getting better.
Takaya, wearing a jersey with his backpack on his back, decided to turn back and go to a small town nearby.
