Emil failed to spot the lie, having mostly known people who used more traditional weaponry (for a certain definition of traditional). And really, if Kanji could do better with some kind of weapon than with none at all then who was Emil to stop him?

Emil himself fought best with his sword, however, so he continued as he was doing and cut a deep gash into the arm of one zombie who'd gotten a little too close, kicking that one away with one foot and using the momentum to twist around and take on another. He'd been out here for a little while, but as far as he could see the streets looked no different from how they'd been when he first began. "Damn. How many of these things do they have?"
