Saeko placed the card back in Shizuka's hand, then, like coaxing a child, said, "Sensei, there are no devils in this world. We're not children anymore."
"It's true." Shizuka 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, who was speaking so convincingly, Saeko sighed helplessly, deciding to just play along like humoring a child. She then began to summon the devil according to the instructions on the card.
"Oh, Devil, would you heed my wish and save the world?"
As the words left her mouth, Saeko's face flushed with a hint of shame.
Why was she playing this game with Shizuka?!
They were supposed to be hiding from zombies!
Seeing no movement, she then turned to Shizuka and said, "Sensei, look, there are no devils in this world."
Shizuka looked a bit dejected.
But the next moment, the card slipped from her hand, landing on the ground with the side bearing the magic circle facing up as a dazzling white light appeared.
Saeko instinctively tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
"You are my summoner?"
A white-haired, red-eyed man with a unique aura appeared within the magic circle.
This was Abel, who had just rushed to the equipment room to be summoned. The next second, his wings unfolded behind him.
Saeko, who had held a glimmer of hope, froze in place.
"It... it really is a devil." Saeko 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's eyes lit up as she looked at Abel's wings, then reached out a hand, wanting to touch them. But the next second, Abel's wings retracted.
Shizuka looked a little disappointed. A Devil's wings, she hadn't touched them yet.
Saeko looked at her helplessly, then pulled Shizuka aside and whispered, "Sensei, could you please show some respect to the devil?"
"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 and Shizuka were whispering aside, Abel understood the world he was in. This was Highschool of the Dead.
Abel walked to the window in their sight. Looking at the zombies rampant below, he nodded. "Lost souls trapped in decaying bodies."
The corners of Abel's lips curved upward. This was another excellent place to acquire troops.
Although they were just miscellaneous soldiers, they were abundant. According to the current situation, the Undead Legion could gain an additional hundreds of millions of troops. He just needed to cleanse the surface once.
However, could he let his Peerage come to this world to train?
The Demons in the Demon Slayer world were all gone, now 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 world.
For example, Akame ga Kill. The danger beasts there could provide excellent training.
After thinking for a while, Abel looked at Saeko and walked towards her.
He asked, "Saeko, what is your wish?"
Saeko took a deep breath. She never expected that card could really summon a devil. She didn't care why the devil in front of her knew her name, because her worldview was beginning to be reconstructed.
Zombies, magic, and devils.
Facing a world of biohazard, with a devil suddenly appearing, Saeko felt it wasn't unacceptable.
Could she use his power to save the world or solve the zombie crisis?
She cautiously asked, "Please, can you resolve the current crisis?"
Abel nodded. "Of course, no problem. I have many ways to solve the current issue."
He did indeed have many methods. For example, he could just cleanse the surface of the earth. As for how many people survived, that was none of his business.
Or he could move the timeline forward or backward. But this went against his original intention of increasing the undead, and why should he expend so much energy to help such a world?
Listening to Abel's words, light appeared in Saeko's eyes.
Could this devil really get rid of all these zombies?
"Can you really do it?"
"Of course, fulfilling the summoner's wish is my duty."
Abel looked at Saeko's expectant gaze, the corner of his lips curving slightly. "However, to fulfill a wish, you must pay a corresponding price."
He appeared behind Saeko.
Saeko quickly turned her head.
So fast?
No, it seemed like he had moved through space.
While Saeko was thinking, Abel leaned in front of her. Looking into Saeko's eyes, he said, "So, Saeko, what price are you willing to pay?"
Saeko blushed, then silently took a step back. After all, it was too close and the scent emanating from Abel was too alluring, making her want to succumb to it.
Abel watched Saeko retreat and chuckled. "The one thing we are least short of is time, so you have plenty of time to think."
Saying that, he lay down in mid-air.
Listening to Abel's words, Saeko began to ponder.
Meanwhile, Shizuka, who was beside them, looked at Abel floating in the air, her eyes shining.
She leaned over and asked, "Devil-san, can you make me fly?"
Abel turned sideways, looking at Shizuka. He snapped his fingers and made her float.
Saeko looked at this scene with some helplessness.
Why did her teacher have no sense of boundaries?
Indeed, all the nutrition went to those two lumps on her chest.
