This woman was she really a natural airhead?
Saeko started having doubts about her.
Placing it on her uh..that part.... was she trying to seduce their master from the get-go?
If she had known she could choose, she might have done the same!
Saeko's face reddened as she silently grumbled.
"That's not what I meant!"
Shizuka quickly refuted, flustered. Then, after some hesitation, she asked, "Then... can it be a little higher?"
"That should be fine."
Lynn wasn't completely sure.
If her skill descriptions were too long, it might get covered up.
But
If it did happen, he'd just make her remove everything blocking the text. He wouldn't mind helping her take care of that problem.
He was a good master after all.
"Alright then, let's do it!"
Shizuka puffed out her chest.
Lynn pressed the Devil's Piece against her upper abdomen.
"So cold~"
She shivered, making Lynn feel a little dizzy from the motion.
The piece sank into her body, and soon, she experienced what Saeko had felt earlier.
Her breathing grew heavy, her warm breath carrying a faint orchid-like scent. Her body flushed with heat.
"Nnyahhhhh..."
Just like Saeko, Shizuka didn't hold back.
Two delicate black wings emerged from her lower back.
A tail with a heart-shaped tip swayed gently as it extended.
Shizuka brought her tail forward and curiously touched it.
"Mmm~"
Her body shuddered, her face turning red as her thighs pressed together, rubbing slightly.
But her hands didn't stopin fact, she touched her tail even more.
As someone who had already received 'that' from Lynn, Saeko twitched at the sight.
This airheaded teacher had no sense of restraint!
"Sensei, just so you know"
"We're still standing right in front of you."
Shizuka's body froze. She quickly let go of her tail and turned to Saeko with an innocent expression. "W-What is it, Saeko-chan?"
Meanwhile, she secretly retracted her wings and tail.
Seeing the 'evidence' disappear, Saeko just rolled her eyes and sighed. "Never mind."
Whew
Shizuka let out a relieved sigh.
Lynn, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to their antics. His focus was on Shizuka's blessing data.

Lynn: "..."
Good news: There was enough space to display her blessing data. There was even a bit of extra room.
Bad news: The upper part was covered because of her big...things. He couldn't see her name and level.
But what really gave him mixed feelings was this Healing Devil skill.
"Milk Mode? hmmm...it sounds weird?"
Still, it was clearly a healer-type special Devilvery fitting for Shizuka's role.
[Ding! Congratulations, you've acquired the skill 'Healing Devil'!]
Lynn: "..."
He wasn't exactly thrilled to have this skill.
For Shizuka, it was 'Milk.' But for him
Yikes
He wasn't even going to think about it!
Lynn decided this skill was going straight to the corner to collect dust.
After regaining his composure, he prepared to copy down Shizuka's blessing data.
But then he paused.
He muttered, "Lift up your chest. It's blocking your name and level."
"Huh?"
Shizuka took a moment to process that before going, "Oh, okay," and lifting it slightly.
"Alright."
Lynn finished copying the data and handed it to her.
"Mmm, mmhmm."
Shizuka nodded as she read through it, muttering, "So Mr. Devil's name is Lynn, huh."
"Healing Devil? That's perfect for me!"
Seeing the name and effects of her skill, Shizuka's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She loved healing people!
"But what's 'Milk Mode'?" She looked at Lynn with confusion.
"Uh you'll find out later."
Lynn wasn't sure if she was genuinely clueless or just pretending.
This woman often did bizarre things under the guise of being an airhead.
Like picking that specific engraving spot.
"Saeko-chan, do you know?" Shizuka turned to Saeko.
"Nope, and I don't want to even think of it!"
Saeko's answer was firm.
"Oh, okay."

Establishing a familia Base
Recruiting two new members in one go, Lynn's strength had once again increased.
He had a feeling that his next breakthrough wasn't far off.
[Devil's Contract]was truly an amazing skill!
Just one trip across worlds had already brought him two new subordinates, not to mention this training ground.
A total win!
As Shizuka Marikawa finished adjusting her clothes, Lynn briefly introduced the two women to the concept of his familia.
After a short explanation, Saeko nodded. "I see. So our familia's main base is actually in another world?"
She couldn't help but glance at Lynn.
Her Master was capable of crossing worldsAs expected of him!
"Eh? Another world?" Shizuka blinked in surprise. "So curious!"
"Don't worry, I'll take you there when we get the chance."
"Mmm!"
Hearing the answer she wanted, Shizuka nodded eagerly like an excited puppy, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"But before that, we need to take care of things in this world first."
Saeko's expression turned serious. "Master, please give your orders!"
"No need to be so formal, Saeko."
Lynn spoke in a relaxed tone before continuing, "I plan to turn this world into a permanent grinding spot for our familia. What do you think?"
Saeko paused for a moment, then carefully considered his words. "Given our world's current situation, that makes sense."
The undead here weren't too strong, but they existed in overwhelming numbers. A perfect place for lower-ranked subordinates to farm experience.
"Then it's decided!"
Lynn clapped his hands, setting the plan into motion.
"First, we need to establish a safe base for our familia."
"Not only will it serve as a residence for you and Shizuka, but also as a resting place for familia members who come over."
"Since our numbers are still small, we don't need anything too large. As long as there are enough rooms, proper facilities, and a comfortable living environment, that should be enough."
Saeko nodded and carefully memorized all of Lynn's requirements. She had already learned about the other familia members from him before.
Two more girls. That put her at ease.
After all, since they'd likely be living together, it was better if they were all female.
One man was enoughher Master.
"Ah! I've got an idea!"
Shizuka suddenly raised her hand. "Rika's house! It perfectly fits Master's requirements!"
Saeko frowned slightly. "Rika?"
"Mhm!" Shizuka nodded enthusiastically. "She's a friend of mine, a police officer. Super strong!"
Lynn immediately made the call. "Alright, let's head there first. Shizuka, lead the way."
"Aye Sir!"
Lynn also remembered that place from the original story.
A nice house, plus There were some firearms hidden there, if he recalled correctly.
Though, at this point, those guns probably wouldn't be of much use.
After all, Devils had their own ways of fighting.
With a plan in place, the three of them prepared to leave Fujimi Academy and head to Rika Minami's home.
Saeko planned to take out more zombies along the waynot only to train her stats but also to test her current skills and strength.
Of course, more importantly, she had a certain desire to satisfy.
"Rika's place is a bit far from here. How about we take a car?" Shizuka suggested, suddenly pulling out a set of car keys from somewhere.
"...Wait, weren't you just naked? Where were you keeping that?!" Saeko couldn't help but question.
"Hehe!"
Before Saeko could say more, a noise echoed from the end of the hallway.
"W-Where did the stairs go?!"
"Shh! Keep it down! Do you want to attract all those things?!"
"Mmph"
...
Saeko thought one of the voices sounded familiar. "Master..."
Lynn understood what she meant and reassured her, "It's fine. Let's check it out since we're leaving anyway."
At the destroyed stairwell. Saeko looked up and saw the people above.
"Rei Miyamoto?"
"Saeko-senpai?"
Both of them were stunned.
They hadn't expected to run into each other under these circumstances.
Lynn glanced up as well.
As expected, they were characters from the original protagonist group.
ButSome people were missing.
If he remembered correctlyWasn't the main protagonist supposed to be here? Along with that chubby guy?
Had the timeline changed?
Thinking for a moment, Lynn quickly realized what had happened.
What had changed?
He looked at the destroyed stairwell.
Wasn't this the biggest alteration?
A single lightning strike had wiped out the protagonist and a supporting character?
Maybe not. Perhaps the loud explosion had attracted more undead than in the original timeline, causing them to get separated.
Even if they were still alive, dealing with that many zombies wouldn't be easy.
Not that it mattered. Lynn had no interest in other men.
"Hmm pink and white."
From his position, he had a clear view under the skirts of Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi.
"Ugh"
Rei and Saya quickly realized what had happened.
Noticing the boy, they hurriedly clamped their skirts shut.
"Uh, Saeko-senpai what's going on?" Rei asked in a hushed voice.
She looked around at the completely wrecked surroundings, confusion evident in her eyes.
The stairs were gone. How were they supposed to get down?
.
.
.
So Humanity Had Evolved?
(10 reviews bonus)
"Hey!"
After some talk, Rei Miyamoto leaped down from above, landing straight into Lynn's arms like a homing pigeon returning to its nest.
Lynn felt the impact of the girl crashing into his chest.
"Thanks!"
Rei quickly stepped back, bowing deeply, but couldn't help sneaking a glance at Lynn's arms. Her ears turned slightly red.
'Such strength!'
'He caught me so effortlessly, as if I weighed nothing.'
Next was Saya Takagi. She was a bit more timid, keeping her eyes tightly shut as she jumped, too scared to look.
Only when her feet touched the ground did she finally relax.
"I'm alive!"
After discussing it together, they had decided jumping down was the best option.
They thought they'd at least get a little hurt, but it turned out to be way easier than expected.
It felt almost unreal.
After thanking Lynn as well, the group was finally reunited.
But one problem down, another still to go.
Rei looked below.
Zombies! So many zombies!!
Even though the staircase was gone, the zombies had unintentionally stacked themselves up, forming a hideous pyramid.
If they didn't figure out a way to leave, these things would eventually climb up.
"What do we do?"
Rei instinctively turned to the only man present.
While Rei and Saya found the sight of the undead terrifying, Lynn didn't even bother looking at them. "Saeko, take care of it."
"Huh?"
Rei and Saya blinked in surprise.
Saeko-senpai?
How was she supposed to handle this?
"Yes, Master!"
"M-M-Master?!" Both girls' eyes widened at Saeko's response.
Wait, was this some kind of roleplay?
They exchanged glances, unable to stop their thoughts from running wild.
What kind of relationship did this guy have with Saeko-senpai?
Was he her boyfriend?
—
Saeko licked her lips, her eyes shining with excitement.
She had been itching for a fight ever since she saw the zombies.
But she had been holding back, waiting for Lynn's command.
Now, finally, the moment had come!
Time to test the power her Master had given her!
Shing!
Her blade slid out of its sheath.
The golden hues of the setting sun reflected off the steel, giving it a dazzling glow.
As she gripped the handle, an instinctive understanding filled her mind.
With a swift motion, she slashed downward!
Swoosh!
A white arc of energy shot toward the undead!
Splat!
The stacked-up zombies were instantly severed! Blood gushed from their wounds!
A closer look revealed that the cut was absurdly smooth, as if made by a veteran swordsman.
"Hah..."
Saeko exhaled, her breathing slightly heavier as she watched the blood splatter.
But Lynn frowned slightly.
Noticing this, Saeko immediately tensed up, carefully watching for his reaction.
"Next time, aim for the head. Otherwise, it's inefficient." Lynn advised.
Zombies were annoying like that.
If you didn't destroy their heads, they wouldn't die easily.
Saeko's previous attack looked impressive, but since the heads hadn't been severed, most of the zombies were still moving.
"Understood, Master!"
Saeko let out a small sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. He didn't dislike her.
That brief moment of bloodshed had awakened her hunger, exposing a bit of her true nature.
Lynn's frown had scared hershe thought he might have found her disgusting.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.
This time, she swung her sword with precision, aiming exclusively for the zombies' heads.

Meanwhile
Watching Saeko's overwhelming display of power
Rei and Saya were completely dumbfounded.
'S-Sword wave?!!'
'Saeko-senpai just unleashed a freaking sword wave?!!'
'What kind of anime nonsense was this?!'
They exchanged another glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Had humanity already evolved during this apocalypse?!
"Wow! Saeko-chan, that was amazing!" Shizuka looked happy.
'Wait, Sensei, you're not even surprised?!'
'That was sword animation skill!! Something totally supernatural!!!'
Rei and Saya screamed internally.
Their minds were overflowing with questions.
They wanted to ask Saeko so badly.
But seeing her increasingly crazed smile
They swallowed their words.
Too scary!!

Ten Minutes Later
Saeko finally stopped swinging, her breathing slightly ragged.
Below, the area had turned into a gruesome slaughterhouse.
"How do you feel?" Lynn asked.
"Subarashi!" Saeko's voice was downright ecstatic.
Lynn assessed her condition.
Ten minutes of nonstop slashingYet she was only a little out of breath.
This suggested that energy-based attacks didn't drain her stamina too much.
