Looking at the hordes of zombies below, escaping was basically impossible.
The school was definitely not a place to stay for long.
Not only did they have to guard against zombies, but also against their fellow humans!
After all, Saeko Busujima had seen humanity's true colors.
Now, the Self-Defense Forces and the police had not appeared; they must have gone to protect the so-called high-ranking officials.
And her father was far away in another country.
"Can we escape?" Saeko Busujima whispered, asking herself or perhaps the state of the world.
However, as a woman of the Busujima family, waiting for death or fearing it was not her style.
There must be! There must be a way to leave!
Looking at the horde of corpses, Saeko Busujima pulled down the curtains.
She then went to the office's private restroom to wash her face, and after a while, she left the restroom.
Looking at the dazed Shizuka Marikawa, Saeko Busujima didn't know whether to feel envious or helpless.
Shizuka Marikawa seemed unafraid when facing zombies.
"Teacher, do you have any way for us to escape?" Saeko Busujima asked Shizuka Marikawa, but then she paused, realizing she was asking an airhead!
Just as Saeko Busujima thought she shouldn't have asked her, Shizuka Marikawa looked up as if deep in thought, then her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had recalled something interesting.
She then reached into her four-dimensional space within her chest.
Watching Shizuka Marikawa's actions, Saeko Busujima helplessly rubbed her forehead.
Indeed, she shouldn't have asked the teacher.
"Ta-da! Found it." Shizuka Marikawa said, pulling out a card from that spot on her body.
The card was pure white, making one feel it was quite valuable.
She placed the card in Saeko Busujima's hand, with an expression that seemed to say, 'Praise me.'
Saeko Busujima held the card, and a cool sensation washed over her, as if all her long-standing fatigue had been swept away. But… the strong scent of milk on the card—how long had she kept it there?
Shizuka Marikawa now stood with her hands on her hips.
"Hehe, this card isn't an ordinary card. This is a card that can summon a demon.
Busujima-san, let's summon a demon!"
"......"
Sure enough, I shouldn't have held out hope for this airheaded teacher.
She even brought up demons.
"Summon a Demon, Fulfill Your Wish."
Looking at the text on the card and the magic circle engraved on the back, it was all so convincing, like the real thing.
However, this card was a good item; it could actually dispel fatigue and make one feel comfortable.
Perhaps that was why the teacher had kept it there all this time.
Saeko Busujima placed the card back in Shizuka Marikawa's hand, then, like coaxing a child, said, "Teacher, there are no demons in this world. We're not children anymore."
"It's true!" Shizuka Marikawa said earnestly, then continued, "This card just appeared suddenly. I can't throw it away, and it's impervious to water and fire. I secretly tried using Rika's gun on it, but even the gun couldn't break it."
Looking at Shizuka Marikawa, who was speaking so convincingly, Saeko Busujima sighed helplessly, deciding to just play along like humoring a child.
Saeko Busujima then began to summon the demon according to the instructions on the card.
"Oh, Demon, if there truly is a demon, would you heed my wish and save the world?"
As the words left her mouth, Saeko Busujima's face flushed with a hint of shame.
Why was she playing this game with Teacher Marikawa?!
They were supposed to be hiding from zombies!!
Seeing no movement, she then turned to Shizuka Marikawa and said, "Teacher, look, there are no demons in this world."
Shizuka Marikawa looked a bit dejected at that moment.
But the next moment, the card slipped from her hand, landing on the ground with the side bearing the magic circle facing up.
A dazzling white light appeared.
Saeko Busujima instinctively tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
"You are my Master—ah, no, you are my summoner?" A voice came, followed by a silver-haired, red-eyed man with a unique aura appearing within the magic circle.
This was Ye Xiao, who had just rushed to the equipment room to be summoned.
The next second, his demon wings unfolded behind him.
Saeko Busujima, who had held a glimmer of hope, froze in place.
"It... it really is a demon!" Saeko Busujima could hardly believe it.
First a magic circle, then a man with wings appearing from the magic circle.
She didn't even know what to say anymore.
Meanwhile, Shizuka Marikawa's eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Xiao's wings, then slyly reached out a hand, wanting to touch them.
But the next second, Ye Xiao's wings retracted.
What a joke; no one had touched his wings except Grayfia when he was a child.
At this moment, Shizuka Marikawa looked a little disappointed.
A demon's wings, she hadn't touched them yet!
Saeko Busujima looked at her helplessly, then pulled Shizuka Marikawa aside and whispered, "Teacher, could you please show some respect to the demon?"
"Hehe, I was just checking if it was real."
"... ..."
Forget it, let it be. What could be more cruel than a world that was already a living hell?
While Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Marikawa were whispering aside, Ye Xiao also understood the world he was in.
This was Highschool of the Dead.
The ancient beginner's dungeon NO. 1.
The great mother figure that all transmigrators desired—Saeko Busujima.
Ye Xiao walked to the window in their sight.
Looking at the zombies rampant below, Ye Xiao nodded. "Lost souls trapped in decaying bodies."
The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth curved upward.
This was another excellent place to replenish troops.
Although they were just Miscellaneous Soldiers , they were abundant. According to the current situation, the Undead Legion could replenish hundreds of millions of troops.
He just needed to cleanse the surface once.
However, could he let his dependents come to this world to train? The Demons in the Demon Slayer world were all gone; that was just an ordinary world.
But a zombie world seemed to have no effect.
Forget it, hopefully, next time he could come to a higher-level anime.
For example, Akame ga Kill; the danger beasts there could also provide excellent training.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xiao looked at Saeko Busujima.
He walked towards her.
Looking at the girl in front of him, suitable to be a dependent, he spoke, "So... Miss Busujima, what is your wish?"
Looking at Ye Xiao, Saeko Busujima took a deep breath.
She never expected that card could really summon a demon.
She didn't care why the demon in front of her knew her name, because her worldview was beginning to be reconstructed.
Zombies, magic, and demons.
Facing a world of biohazard, with a demon suddenly appearing, Saeko Busujima felt it wasn't unacceptable.
Could she use his power to save the world or solve the zombie crisis?
She cautiously spoke to Ye Xiao, "Please, can you resolve the current crisis?"
