Volume 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)

Kurose turned around slowly and made her way to the front door.

Yuusuke stood still for a while, but then started to go after her.

The next thing that happened was Kurose was staring at the ground in front of the entrance.

“Kurose……san?”

Scratch, scratch. The scratching noise fills the room.

Kurose scratched near the doork.n.o.b with her fingernails.

“What are you doing?”

Kurose didn’t even react to me when I asked her.

Perhaps she was too concentrated on thinking about something.

Some of her hair was loosened, but she was a beautiful lady. People say that putting on gla.s.ses transformed the way you looked, but I didn’t believe it until now. It was a little bit dark in the room, but the atmosphere became more serious.

Her face was not a natural color, but Yuusuke couldn’t say that her face was gray either.

Kurose’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the doork.n.o.b.

She began to scratch the door more roughly which caused tiny layers of paint from the door to come off.

I’ve scratched things with my fingernail many times before; however, this was a bit different than those times when I did it.

“Kurose-san?”

I cautiously tapped her shoulder as I called her name out.

The texture of her sweater was soft.

It felt soft like a girl.

She was wearing clothing, but her body temperature was really abnormal.

I put my hand up to her forehead to feel her temperature, but it was cold and there was no reaction.

Her body had extremely poor blood circulation and she was as cold as a mannequin.

I checked Kurose’s carotid artery to look for a pulse as she continued to scratch the door.

There was no pulse.

“Are you serious….?”

Yuusuke couldn’t believe that Kurose was dead because she looked alive and was still scratching.

I confirmed that she was not breathing. I put my hand against her chest with a bit of hesitation, but there was also no heartbeat.

She was dead.

I realized that she was like a grotesque figure in a zombie movie.

However, Kurose only looked like a normal human being with a few problems regarding her mental state.

As a matter of fact, Yuusuke didn’t even notice, for a while, that she was only a moving corpse.
