Last Man On Earth When There Is No Earth ?

Sector nineteen, Seven

It might have been that rumored effect where you start seeing things in slow motion when your death is near.

I was about to give up, as much as I hated to it was more like me to just give up. After all I'm not some space fighter chasing orange balls to revive my dead friends. I'm just a below average shut in who makes his eyes suffer by staring at a screen for days rather than hours, no matter how much I try roleplaying as this strong fearsome hero who doesn't flinch in the least when fighting with some tiger faced hulk alien thing, there is a limit I'm going to reach .

I mean, I did some pretty amazing things right? I went toe to toe with the leader of some space pirate organization cult that worsh.i.p.s a mythical beast who I also just happen to have survived an encounter with, can't I give it a rest already?

"Seven!!!"

Well, I think it's about time my theme song starts playing. My heroine is calling so I guess I have to surpass my limits of something.

Yet the slow-mo thing isn't stopping. The bad guy is still charging my way, and I can't hear any music.

Maybe that's not how it works after all. Gotta work with what I have. I don't have much juice left, I use this and the poor ghost living inside me would go to sleep until I recharge. But if I get out of this in one piece, wouldn't I hit two birds with one stone?

I soon knew why the slow-mo thing didn't stop. The guy I'm fighting tilted his head to avoid a projectile leaving me to deal with it. In other words it wasn't this fur covered humanoid alien that was going to get me killed, but the sparkling thing flung at bullet speed.

Um, Lilia… honey… could you please choose another single to support me from next time? It would be really embarrassing if I ended up dying by the hands of my wife who I didn't even sleep with.

Come to think of it, weren't we about to do it just when this guy brought his lackeys and started banging on my door? Now I remember

I'm really pissed off.

I caught the thing Lilia pitched at me, the shock made me fear for the bones in my right arm. As if it was a reflex I equipped the item and as it spread to cover my arm I realized what it was. but I had no time to think further of it.

The clan head was in front of me, ready to swing his arm. Channeling what little of the energy we have left to my left arm and stumped my right foot firmly into the floor.

Our fists collided, however I felt little resistance.

I expected some epic scene of us struggling to push each other back, instead I got something red sprayed on me. The clan head leaped away to put some distance between us, holding his left shoulder with a very angry look on his face.

It took me a second to notice that his whole arm was gone. It wasn't lying anywhere as far as I could see, I think I blew the whole thing to pieces.

Man, these things are amazing! Sturdiness isn't their only forth, that Glassume material they are made of could absorb and amplify energy which-

Hold on a second… I know they are aliens but I'm perfectly sure the Herara have normal red blood so… where did this grayish color coming from?

"SEVEN!!!"

I already had my guess right before hearing Lilia call my name again. It's the duplicate I had Jar make back on Rooster, if Lilia had it then that means she already looked inside the box!

Then that means

"MY ANSWER IS YES!!!"

My brain went blank. I felt something strange acc.u.mulating at the end of my throat, and I tried my best to bring my voice out

"Does that mean…"

I looked at Lilia and she nodded at me, her face shining with joy.

I didn't mishear her words, nor did I misunderstand them.

She said her answer is yes…

She said yes…

SHE AID YES!!!!!

"WOAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" I held my arms up in the air and yelled my lungs out.

She said yes! She actually said yes!! My proposal went awfully wrong and the surprise is ruined but in the end

SHE SAID YESSSS!!!!!

I wanted to run over to her side immediately, I want to hold her in my arms right now!

Is this how life is supposed to be? Is this how those normies felt in this situation?

This won't just turn into yet another bad day right?

He had already regenerated his entire lost arm, he even had the time to grow its fur back

"Lilia!" I put aside the celebration for the time being, first I need to make sure everything is put to a definite end so no one would interrupt us after this "can I borrow the other one for a moment?"

"Okay!" she said, waving her hand. Lilia took a pitcher like stance, raising her left knee a little then swung her arm sending me another bullet speed projectile.

Even though I caught it with my armored left hand I still felt the shock traveling through my bones.

After putting it on I looked at Lilia one more time before facing my opponent

'Let's quickly get this done with, stupid ghost'

I expected some type of comment considering our current situation, but a few seconds passed and I heard nothing.

'… stupid ghost?' I called again, but she stayed silent

'hey, Iris? This isn't the right time to tack a nap' again, no reply.

"don't tell me…" I looked at my hands and tried to summon forth my power. but it was useless, my hair is black again.

You gotta be kidding right?...

"Haha… this is a joke right?" I tried again, I called for Iris several times, but still no reply.

'OH FOR FUX SAKE!!!'

Why now of all times? Can't I get one day without something f.u.c.k.i.n.g ut up the ass?

C'mon, it wasn't a perfect proposal but I got a yes from the girl I love! I didn't even celebrate yet!!

"I see… ran out of it didn't you?" as if to add gasoline on the fire the furball smirked at me with a look that said "just as planned"

'That piece of shit!! I'm gonna kill that sonofabitch!!!! I will-'

"Huh?..." before I could finish that thought I saw his leg closing in on my face. Guarding it saved head but I was sent flying just like a while before, smashing into the wall that was supposed to be far behind.

"You aren't much of a threat now" I heard his voice from a distance, the bastard sounds like he already won "but… oh well, I will end you quickly just in case… hm?"

As I wiped the blood soaking my face I started to hear a sizzling noise, and before I opened my eyes a huge red beam bursted out from its direction followed by an explosion that shook the whole arena.

" Cough cough… fue…! I think I overdid it a bit" I could hear someone from beyond the smoke, and I definitely could guess who it belonged to. From the two meter hole the beam left behind two mechanic arms emerged. They got a hold on its melting edges of the and worked on expanding it until it reached three times its initial size

"sorry captain! I hope you didn't wait too long!"

"Logan you son of a gun..." I couldn't help but smile. A mech-suit. Our resident pilot just showed up with a freakin' gundam "Where the hell did you get that thing!!?"

"Cool ain't it?" a small window appeared, hovering near what I assume is the c.o.c.kpit "they got a bunch of them laying around down there so I borrowed one"

Damn man… tiger… man-tiger! I knew we were in that kind of setting but… damn!

"One after the other…" o-ow, I think we got someone really pissed off "did you think that thing would ever be enough to defeat me"

The clan head started glowing, his fur changing color.

"Oh this? This isn't for you!" Logan said then looked at me and smiled. One of the mech's arms pointed at me, it's fingers retracted it transformed into a giant barrel.

"DO IT!" I commanded and the next thing I knew I was swallowed by a bright red light.
