"Save the world?"
"Yes."
Lynn agreed to Saeko Busujima's request without any hesitation.
No matter what the request was, he would agree first.
Anyway, when it would be completed and how it would be completed was up to him.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said very considerately:
"I have two plans here, one is more aggressive, and one is more conservative. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Can it really be done?
Something like saving the world?
Saeko Busujima's eyes showed surprise.
She had originally approached it with a try-it-out attitude, also wanting to see how Demon Mr. would react to this request.
The result…
She had completely not expected that Demon Mr. would offer two plans!
It seemed that for humans, a world-ending crisis was merely a trivial matter for this Demon Mr. in front of her.
Demon Mr.'s strength was probably even more terrifying than she had imagined.
Speaking of which, Demon Mr. was also much easier to talk to than she had imagined.
And he was completely unlike the ugly image in myths.
So different from the impression of a Demon.
Temporarily setting aside her chaotic thoughts, Saeko Busujima thought for a moment and said, "Let's hear the aggressive one first."
"The current crisis in your world should be these Corpses, right?"
Lynn walked to the window and stared at the swaying, crowded Corpses downstairs.
"That's right!"
Saeko Busujima nodded, her voice a little low, "This crisis suddenly broke out this afternoon."
She turned her head, stared at Lynn, and said seriously,
"I'm not sure about the exact situation of the world right now, but once this highly contagious virus breaks out, its spread will definitely not be slow."
"In the worst case, it might affect the entire world!"
As a young person, she was also aware of zombie movies and the like.
She just didn't expect that something imagined by humans would one day become reality.
The thought of the entire world being filled with wandering Corpses made Saeko Busujima fall silent.
"Plus, even with this crisis, no army has appeared until now."
She had already prepared for the worst.
"It's nothing."
Lynn said easily, "Even if the whole world turns into this, wouldn't it be fine if I just cleansed the surface?"
Hmm, with Lynn's current strength as an Upper-Level Demon, he probably couldn't do it.
But not being able to do it now doesn't mean not being able to do it in the future.
There's no time limit for saving the world.
He could completely wait until he became a Demon King, a Transcender, or an even stronger existence before saving the world.
Before that, this Dead Body World should honestly become nourishment for his dependents.
Cleanse... the surface?
Is that what she understood?
Saeko Busujima's eye twitched, and she silently stared at Lynn.
She couldn't see any hint of a joke.
Even the ultimate human weapon couldn't cleanse the surface, could it?
But...
If it's Demon Mr., maybe he can?
However.
"If you really do that."
Saeko Busujima said faintly, "The human survivors might also die out, right?"
Along with those Corpses.
Lynn shrugged, "That's none of my business."
This way of acting, as expected, is a Demon.
Clearly, his appearance is the same as a human, even...
Saeko Busujima glanced at the nameplate on Lynn's clothes.
[Shuchiin Academy].
Do Demons also go to school?
Pressing this question to the bottom of her heart, Saeko Busujima decisively gave up on this rather radical plan.
"Let's talk about the conservative plan instead."
As expected, she would choose this one.
Lynn's smile became even more gentle.
"This is even simpler."
He turned to look at Saeko Busujima, a slight smile on his lips,
"I will grant you the power to grow enough to save the world. At that time, you can naturally decide how to save this world according to your own preferences."
Lynn had only two goals in this world.
A fixed experience dungeon for his dependents.
Recruiting dependents.
Saeko Busujima was naturally an indispensable talent.
Hearing the second plan, Saeko Busujima froze in place.
To be honest, she hadn't actually thought about saving the world at all.
At least not now.
After all, her primary goal right now was to survive.
So, in the second plan, the power sufficient to save the world attracted her.
She needed power!
She needed the power to survive in this current world!
And, the power to protect others!
Saeko Busujima silently glanced at Shizuka , who was acting as a mascot.
Shizuka : Meow meow meow?
She was still completely bewildered.
Is Saeko discussing with Demon Mr. ... how to save the world?
Demon?
Save the world?
These two together.
Are you sure it's not some century-old joke?
The key is that Demon Mr. actually seriously gave a solution!
Demon Mr. is a good person!
Shizuka suddenly understood.
Saeko Busujima: "..."
If not for her care, Teacher Shizuka, even if she didn't die in a pile of Corpses, would probably die at the hands of surviving humans.
Perhaps at that time, it would be better to die in a pile of Corpses.
Humans in the apocalypse...
Saeko Busujima sighed, then said firmly, "Then let's go with the second plan!"
The power to grow enough to save the world should be able to let them survive, right?
"Decided so quickly?"
"Aren't you going to ask what the cost is?"
Saeko Busujima's eyes were calm, and she didn't even show any ripples when she heard the word 'cost'.
There's no such thing as a free lunch; it was a truth she understood when she was five.
Moreover, it was a transaction with an existence like the legendary Demon.
Shizuka said in surprise, "Eh? Does it still require a price?"
Well, the truth she knew at five, some people still didn't understand even when they were almost thirty.
Saeko Busujima automatically ignored Shizuka , looked directly at Lynn, and said solemnly,
"If Demon Mr. sees fit, he can take everything of mine."
"Whether it's my body, soul, emotions, or memories!"
She only needed power!
Then to live on with her friends!
Even if it meant sacrificing everything for it!
Perhaps if she truly grew to the point of being able to save the world, she could even save the world along the way.
Lynn was silent for a moment, then grinned.
"What excellent resolve."
"But don't worry, all I need is just you."
Saeko Busujima was startled for a moment, then smiled brightly.
"I'm honored that you see fit."
"From now on, I am your possession."
