On the street, the roar of an engine sounded, and zombies were crushed by the large pickup truck.
Inside the car, Shizuka Marikawa was driving.
Ye Xiao sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window, resting his head, and closing his eyes, while Saeko Busujima sat in the back with Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi.
After Saeko Busujima invited the two to join the team, Shizuka Marikawa drove the group towards her best friend's house.
Everything seemed to be back on track.
Only the three people in the back seat were whispering.
At the same time, Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi looked at the boy in the passenger seat with some curiosity, and both the senior and School Doctor Marikawa seemed to defer to him.
Rei Miyamoto leaned close to Saeko Busujima and quietly asked, "Senior, who is that boy? What's his name? Is he your boyfriend?"
When Rei Miyamoto mentioned Ye Xiao as her boyfriend, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she secretly glanced at Ye Xiao.
Then she shook her head with a red face.
Saya Takagi, next to her, pushed up her glasses, guessing it was unrequited love, and Rei Miyamoto felt a bit of pity.
As for the master's name, Saeko Busujima paused.
It seemed she didn't know her master's name either, but that didn't stop Saeko Busujima from introducing him.
"He is my master."
"Eh!!"
Hearing Saeko Busujima's address for the man in front of them, Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi both widened their eyes.
Ma… Master!?
The school's renowned figure, the captain of the Kendo Club, the national champion, actually called someone 'master'?
Is… is this part of some kinky roleplay?
And you still say you two aren't a couple.
Seeing their expressions, Saeko Busujima didn't explain.
Then she asked about their experiences.
As Saeko Busujima asked, they found someone to confide in.
They told her the entire story.
When she heard that Rei Miyamoto's boyfriend was strangled by an invisible force, Saeko Busujima was silent for a moment.
Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to expose Ye Xiao.
While the few people in the back seat were chatting, Ye Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, was currently opening the subordinate gift package in his consciousness space.
"System, open the gift package!"
"【Congratulations, Host, you have received: One Momotaro Rice Ball, one Horse Talisman.】"
When he saw the Momotaro Rice Ball, Ye Xiao was slightly startled.
Then he looked at the description.
"【Momotaro Rice Ball: Feeds a beast to completely tame it, making it obey the user's commands.】"
Ye Xiao felt it wasn't very useful at the moment.
This thing doesn't seem to be of much use in the main world, does it?
He just didn't know if it would work on Fenrir, the "God-Eating Wolf" created by Loki; if it did, that would be great.
So Fenrir should count as a beast, right?
Thinking this, Ye Xiao put it into Kamui Space.
Then he looked at the Horse Talisman.
Ye Xiao played with the Horse Talisman, a smile on his lips; at this moment, he felt invincible!
The noble horse will expel all external forces from the body!
"Steal!"
(Steal)
The demonic energy in the talisman was stolen by Ye Xiao and merged into his body.
Ye Xiao felt incredibly high at this moment.
Time passed bit by bit.
Shizuka Marikawa drove slowly to a three-story villa.
She slowly drove the car in, and everyone got out.
Ye Xiao surveyed the house in front of him; it wasn't bad and could serve as a temporary base.
"Sayaeko, go clear out the zombies nearby. Shizuka, take them inside and tidy up the rooms."
"Okay."
With simple instructions, they went to do what they needed to do.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, went to a room.
After closing the door, Ye Xiao began to prepare a teleportation array.
Drawing the diagram, injecting magic power.
So, the next step was to find his main world.
Of course, Ye Xiao also didn't forget to set up a barrier; ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it after entering.
Having done everything.
Closing his eyes, following the magic power, Ye Xiao began to search for his main world.
After a while, Ye Xiao opened his eyes.
"Found it."
Ye Xiao said, quickly drawing with both hands, then injecting magic power and spatial energy, and instantly the array glowed brightly.
A magic array spanning worlds was completed.
...
Bang.
Under the moonlight.
The last zombie on the street was perfectly dealt with, and Saeko Busujima's panting gradually stabilized.
She walked towards a man leaning against a wall, holding a little girl.
This little girl was Alice Hillyeard and her father.
The man's arm now had a bitten-open wound.
Blood flowed down his arm, and the normally red blood was now somewhat black.
Looking at the father in front of her, who had been bitten while protecting his child, Saeko Busujima slowly spoke, "Sir, you should know the consequences of being bitten, right?"
Hearing Saeko Busujima's words, the man's eyes dimmed, and he nodded gently; he naturally knew the consequences of being bitten.
His wife had left him that way.
He could face death calmly, but he still had his daughter.
He smiled helplessly.
"Miss... can you take care of my daughter? She... she doesn't eat much, she can learn anything. Can she follow you?"
Saying this, he pushed the little girl with reddish-brown hair next to him towards her.
"Daddy." The little girl tightly clutched the man's clothes, her eyes filled with fear and reluctance.
"Ellis, be good, follow big sister. Daddy... Daddy is going to find Mommy now."
"No, I want Daddy!"
Saeko Busujima was moved by this scene. She squatted down and looked at Alice Hillyeard gently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
The man, having received the assurance, nodded gratefully.
Saeko Busujima used a little bit of hypnotic ability to hypnotize Alice Hillyeard, who then fell asleep on her father's body.
She picked up the little girl.
Just then, the man began to cough. He covered his mouth with his hand, and black blood flowed through his fingers.
"Looks like time is running out."
He said self-deprecatingly, then looked at Saeko Busujima, "I'm troubling you. I want to die as a human."
Saeko Busujima was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Then Saeko Busujima held her sword with one hand, flames emanating from the blade.
Seeing this, the man showed a carefree smile. He knew his daughter could live well in this world!
"Go in peace."
As her words fell, Saeko Busujima swung the sword in her hand, and the man passed away peacefully. Flames burned his body, turning it into ashes.
Having done everything, Saeko Busujima carried Alice Hillyeard and walked towards the villa.
At this moment, Ye Xiao stood on the rooftop.
Everything that had just happened was carried to him by the gentle breeze.
He came to the entrance and waited for Saeko Busujima to arrive.
Soon, he saw Saeko Busujima carrying Alice Hillyeard on her back.
Ye Xiao walked over.
Then he took the girl, and looking at the dirty Saeko Busujima, he smiled.
"You've worked hard, Sayaeko."
