It was a lively, wonderful evening.
Everyone was having fun partying at the resort, having some drinks and playing in the swimming pool.
There was even a band playing some upbeat acoustic music with guitars and drums for people to dance to.
Even the panda mascot was playing a guitar!
Luckily it wasn't the loud obnoxious type of party music, so I was still able to hear everyone's voices properly.
We were all eating dinner together, talking, laughing, just simply having a good time.
"Hey...I've just realized. Is it ok for us to be this noisy?" I wondered. "Won't the zombies be attracted to the noises?"
"It doesn't matter," Alex said. "The resort is a fortified place. Zombies can't breach through even if they tried. Besides, because of us hunters, the amount of zombies outside has been steadily decreasing everyday."
"Oh, that sounds great!"
"In fact, if we keep it up for a long time, we might even get rid of every zombie on this island!" Agnes said.
"That sounds a little too idealistic..." Alex said. "As long as Rokaibo Island is connected to the mainlands, more of them will keep coming."
"What a bummer...." Agnes muttered.
"How about the open beachfront of the resort? Can't the zombies swim through?" Perci asked.
"If they could swim, we wouldn't be here happily enjoying our food," Alex said. "They can't pass through the sand either due to the steep rocky borders blocking entry. The only way would be through the water, this place was designed to keep trespassers away."
"Speaking of the beachfront, the people are heading there right now!" Agnes said.
"Why?" I said.
"The fireworks are starting in a few minutes!" Lucio announced. "I repeat, the fireworks are starting in a few minutes!"
The panda mascot quickly rushed towards the beach, leading the way for everyone.
"Let's go..." Alex and his companions stood up.
"W-Wait! I'm still eating!" Agnes said, hurriedly placing food on her mouth.
I was about to join them...when Perci grabbed my arm.
"H-huh? What is it?"
"There's something I want to tell you...alone."
"I-is that so?"
Something to tell me.....alone?
Then it hit me.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Isn't this a bit too sudden?! It can't be, right? Perci is going to.....
Agnes looked at me and gave me a thumbs-up.
"Ok....where are we going?" I said.
"The rooftop garden."
"Rooftop...."
Where Damien died.....
I shook my head.
No. Now's not the time to dwell on it.
It's about me and Perci.
We rode the elevator up and the doors opened out to us.
"Woah..." I muttered.
Unlike the last time I was here, the place was brightened up with hanging string lights.
