Kidnapped to Another World

KTAW Chapter 19 Part C

Chapter 19 Part C

Continued from Part B

There were several gasps of astonishment and a lot of cries of fear and near panic.

Akira began rolling into his speech gaining confidence. "That's right. Wolves came near us, smelling the wounded and being drawn in by the blood scent in the air. But we chased them off. One of the wounded died last night because of it. You all know Yamashita kun from class 3-F? Well he succumbed to his wounds and passed away after being chewed on by wolves last night. The truth is there won't be any safe places in this world probably. The only thing we can do is hang on for the ride. I want you all to be able to survive in this world and I'm going to help you to do that. But I want to clear up some things. So I need your full attention. All eyes up here please!"

Would Akira sway them?

I felt sick to my stomach by this betrayer. I didn't want him to be king. But his speech kept going, as he used me to gain favor.

"First, even if we move cities, there will still be monsters looking for those cities. Number two, Yuta is a dumb ass and the one who came up with the King idea, so I don't trust that. Don't trust Yuta! Also he didn't want sentries put up last night, but wanted to rest and doesn't want to help us put up a palisade either to protect wherever we decide to settle. We need a palisade for sure, wherever we decide to settle. This is a hell world, not some place to practice being Boy Scouts and having picnics all day! It's a must! I'd say stone walls are better but we don't have tools for that. We'll also need farms and granaries and to work hard or we won't make it. He thinks it'll be too much work. If he'd got his way, we'd have several people dead."

He blushed a bit, and seemed uncomfortable to say the last part, but did anyway, "also number three, the girls outnumber the boy survivors by about seven girls for every four boys. So our new society is going to be polygamists, probably...unless a lot of the girls suddenly get carried, off which could happen too so everyone needs to learn how to fight and survive together. There were a lot of boys killed fighting the orcs. Please don't forget their sacrifice. If you girls don't share a boy, then you or your friend won't be able to have a family. Sorry, but don't be mad at me. Also the monsters like to steal women in this world and somehow girl's flesh tastes better to them, we think because the wolves when they attacked seemed different from Earth's wolves. We also found out they have some kind of demonic cores in them when you cut open the bodies. Also they went for wounded girls with much higher probability than wounded boys."

"Also last but not least we found another school nearby here, which was also summoned recently. I intend to lead an expedition to go there and see how it can be used to our benefit. It might be a more defensible position."

"Wait? What?!"

"Did he mean like a school like ours?"

"School? How?"

"What kind of school?"

"What's going on?"

"First, a king and now this? Where is this going?"

"it could be another lie to justify this king crap," someone said.

"I don't understand a thing?!"

"How do we veto having a king?"

"I think to veto a king you have to first kill him and his guards," another said callously.

"Shun, I'm scared!" Rina whispered, after hearing the talk of violence. She'd started crying but was trying to keep it down and hide it. I think all of us were scared actually.
