Chapter 44
The Flourishing Asura Maiden, Seeing the Son, Wants to Know More About Shirakawa!

(The previous part has been slightly modified, it shouldn't affect your viewing, I kowtow.)

鞠川静香, along with Miyamoto Rei and Takajo Saya, was checking out her friend Nanri Xiang's armory. As an enthusiast, she had prepared a lot of guns and weapons in the safe.

Observing the "Dimensional Chat Group", she knew that the group rescue mission had been completed. Tokisaki Saeko saw Bai Shi Chuan still in her world.

She looked quite surprised.

As for how to thank him, Tokisaki Saeko was also at a loss. The world was full of zombies, and both Misaka Mikoto and Bai Shi Chuan were from the modern world.

They were both strong individuals with extraordinary abilities.

Now, seeing Bai Shi Chuan not leaving, she felt inexplicably excited. She asked, "Has Misaka Mikoto-senpai already left?"

"Yeah."

"Their school is pretty strict, isn't it?"

Academy City's setting was still too advanced. Facing Tokisaki Saeko's question, Bai Shi Chuan didn't explain it too clearly. The crisis had been resolved.

He carefully looked at the girl in front of him, an older sister type.

During the fight against the dead, Fujimi Gakuen's white shirt and green pleated skirt had been stained with some blood. For other girls...

This appearance would be considered somewhat pathetic.

But for Tokisaki Shura-hime, it was more like a touch of embellishment to her perfect beauty. Seeing her hesitant look, Bai Shi Chuan smiled and asked.

"Are you curious why I'm still here?"

"Yeah."

Tokisaki Saeko nodded seriously.

"Points can be exchanged for world teleport anchors, and buying props to increase attribute values doesn't have much use for me, so I chose to stay."

The dead in the world of the apocalypse could consistently earn 50 experience points.

Though it was a small amount.

But there was an absolute upper limit on their numbers. Taking advantage of the dead's sensitivity to sound, it was possible to build a kind of monster farm like in some two-word game.

Isn't leveling up great?

Moreover...

Thinking about this, Bai Shi Chuan turned his gaze towards Tokisaki Saeko and smiled, saying, "The reason is complex, but I still chose to stay."

"..."

"...Thanks."

Although nothing was said, feeling the focused gaze on her cheek, Tokisaki Saeko couldn't help but slightly turn her head. There was no life-or-death crisis.

She looked at Bai Shi Chuan seriously.

He wasn't the type who was immediately striking in terms of appearance, his features were refined, and his often-styled hair looked very neat, he was definitely considered handsome.

She had thought...

That her heart wouldn't race for anyone, but the Bai Shi Chuan standing in front of her had a strong attraction for her.

Love.

Tokisaki Saeko didn't think someone like her, someone with such a dark heart, could possess it. Yet, the appearance of this boy before her made her unable to control it.

"Actually..."

"..."

Without giving Bai Shi Chuan a chance to continue speaking, while the other students and 鞠川-sensei were touring, Tokisaki Saeko took the initiative to embrace him.

Her soft lips firmly sealed his.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, wishing to stop time at this moment. But because of the sound of Takajo Saya and Miyamoto Rei talking in the distance.

She still reluctantly let go.

In this apocalyptic world, Tokisaki Saeko's smile was somewhat dim, her voice tinged with apology, "Sorry, I just... wanted to briefly experience the feeling of love."

"Why brief?"

"Because... someone like me, with a heart full of violence, shouldn't be worthy of being loved, right?" Tokisaki Saeko blinked her eyes.

She was just about to express her gratitude.

But now it was her turn to have her lips kissed.

"I'll go back and prepare some ingredients, I have some simple things to deal with. Dinner tonight is on you, should be no problem, right?"

Bai Shi Chuan didn't care at all.

The surrounding dead didn't pose a threat to him, but eating well in this environment felt difficult.

Most importantly...

It was Monday, he had promised Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei, he couldn't neglect his daily coursework. He had already asked Mii-ko to help him before heading to the "Konosuba" world.

It was about time to go back.

Prepare some ingredients, grab today's coursework, and Takajo Saya, a high school student with decent grades.

She was perfect as a tool person.

"No problem!"

This beautiful red spider lily blooming in the underworld, feeling the feeling of being firmly chosen, made Tokisaki Saeko's lips couldn't help but turn up, she nodded seriously.

"Bai Shi-kun, do you have something to do today?"

In front of the rented apartment's security door, Yotsuya Mii-ko took out today's coursework and textbooks. She had thoughtfully used sticky notes to mark them.

Looking at the person in front of her.

Bai Shi Chuan was carrying two large bags full of ingredients, she didn't hesitate, after putting the textbooks in her bag, she handed them to him.

"I have some things to take care of, thanks, Mii-ko."

He didn't mention the details, crossing into other worlds to save beautiful girls, such a statement might be difficult for Yotsuya Mii-ko to believe.

Carrying her backpack.

She could even smell a faint fragrance of shampoo.

Taking the two bags of ingredients, Bai Shi Chuan simply thanked her. He had no intention of staying in place, Tokisaki Saeko in the world of the apocalypse was waiting for him.

Reaching the stairwell corner.

After confirming there were no other tenants around, he opened the "Dimensional Chat Group".

He decisively chose the teleportation location as the world of the apocalypse, and the specific spot as Nanri Xiang's home where Tokisaki Saeko and 鞠川静香 were.

"Mii-ko, what's wrong?"

Holding a high-calorie rice ball, Yurikawa Hana looked at her friend standing at the door. It seemed like she didn't intend to close the door, she couldn't help but ask.

Only after the figure was completely out of sight, did Yotsuya Mii-ko close the security door. She shook her head slightly, "It was Bai Shi-kun who came to see me."

"He had something to do today, and he asked me to bring his textbooks back."

"Oh."

Yurikawa Hana was a bit unclear in her speech while eating, but she quickly turned her attention to the cooking show playing on TV.

Leaving Yotsuya Mii-ko standing there.

Although Bai Shi Chuan didn't explain the reason in detail, she guessed that it must be related to exorcism, but even with this general idea.

She didn't know why...

Yotsuya Mii-ko felt a void in her heart, she just wanted to take the initiative to learn more about Bai Shi Chuan, but using the identity of a classmate seemed...

A bit inappropriate, perhaps?
