Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

"There are enough people."

Saeko Busujima observed for a moment and calmly said, "We only need Shiro and me for combat. Dr. Marikawa will provide treatment and medicine, Takashiro will be in charge of our logistics, and Miyamoto will be in charge of protecting those who are not capable of fighting."

"Is this okay?"

The others nodded silently; this was indeed the best arrangement.

Rei Miyamoto is much stronger than an ordinary person, but she is a bit of a stretch to be a vanguard; she is more than capable of guarding.

Besides, we don't need her anymore.

Bai Lan nodded, saying that Saeko Busujima was definitely the only UR-level operator in this world, capable of handling everything in an orderly manner.

"But why the sudden change in address?"

Saeko Busujima smiled without saying a word, looking out the corridor window at the distant campus bus, but getting there... required traversing a thorny path.

Corpses were scattered all over the playground, so numerous that they looked like tiny ants.

If you're not careful, you'll get surrounded. Even an elephant would struggle against so many ants, and might even die.

"Now that we have everything we need, it's time to find a vehicle. We'll cook for you when we get home."

The moment Saeko Busujima mentioned eating, Bai Lan was instantly energized, and didn't even bother to mind the change in how she addressed her.

Hey, what's wrong with a half-demon who's underage liking to eat? According to some people, eating a lot means having great potential, and that's how they get nutrition to become stronger!

This is a very important matter concerning the demon's true form!

Let's do something big! Let's do something big! GO!

"The entire campus has probably fallen. Even if you are powerful, you still need to put away your arrogance and act carefully."

As the group prepared to head to the playground, Saya Takagi offered her opinion, hoping that everyone wouldn't be too careless.

"Of course, but I need to remind you that you must control your breathing and not make even the slightest sound. Only in this way will the undead never be able to detect your presence."

Bai Lan said softly.

To ease the tension among the crowd, he led them to the shoe-changing area on campus, which was the only way to reach the school bus stop. However, the shoe-changing area was already littered with corpses.

These undead bodies wandered back and forth in the somewhat cramped space like zombies, occasionally bumping into each other, but they did not react at all, just silently continuing to wander.

But if it were living people... after something like this happened, the undead would have already rioted.

"Wait, this is too dangerous."

Seeing that Bai Lan wanted to walk straight in, Miyamoto Rei whispered to dissuade her, her beautiful eyes full of pleading: "Isn't there a better way? There's no need to use this method. What will we do if something goes wrong?"

"Miyamoto-kun, please do not obstruct the leader's decision, and please trust our leader."

Saeko Busujima looked at Bai Lan's back, her eyes filled with deep dependence. He was the man who could become her husband, how could such a small thing defeat him?

“My father taught me that knowing when to stop is a virtue of women in our samurai family, so please do not stop men from practicing courage.”

For Bai Lan, winning over Saeko Busujima was not a difficult task.

All you need to do is be stronger than her, be willing to accept everything about her, and allow her to live as she pleases, then you can easily win her favor.

Not to mention that Bai Lan is an outcast just like her!

This adds an immeasurable number of points!

After that, all Bai Lan needs to do is stay alive, and Saeko Busujima's favorability will automatically max out, just like the [Survivor] class.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Carrying a wooden sword, Bai Lan leisurely walked past the corpses in front of her and arrived at the center surrounded by them.

The group of people behind her were so nervous they almost stopped breathing. Saeko Busujima didn't dare blink, her hand gripping the wooden sword tighter and tighter.

If anything happens, she will rush to the center to save Bai Lan immediately.

No need to think so much, at worst we can commit suicide together.

Isn't it kind of romantic that the world's only two remaining outcasts walk hand in hand toward death?

Unfortunately, what she both looked forward to and feared did not happen. Bai Lan stood at the center, facing them with a bright smile, her lips moving slightly.

—See, isn't this very safe?

"call--"

Seeing that Bai Lan was alright, Miyamoto Rei breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her high, full chest: "Really, as a leader, you should be sitting properly on the throne behind you, how can you charge into battle alone like a general?"

"I've never seen an emperor who sat on the throne and still had to lead troops into battle every day."

"Isn't that what makes him so charming?"

Saeko Busujima rose slightly and walked fearlessly toward Shirai, with Rei Miyamoto and the others behind her.

The corpse lingered, its gaping mouth constantly spewing out a foul stench, its entire body reeking of blood, and its tattered face contorted with rage and rage.

For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to walk past them without making a sound; it is a huge challenge to their mental fortitude.

Sometimes you might even bump into them face-to-face without even realizing it...

goo—

Of the group, only Takagi Saya was completely broken down, trembling all over, and didn't even have the courage to continue. At this moment, it seemed as if her heart was about to stop beating.

Why do you have to do this kind of thing?

The corpse before them seemed to have caught a whiff of fear; its mouth suddenly opened, and an indescribable stench assaulted their senses—the smell of rotting flesh that had been soaking in the sewers for days and nights.

Saya Takagi's emerald eyes welled up with tears, and she instinctively wanted to scream.

Before she could utter a sound, a hand gently covered her mouth, and at the same time, a hot breath entered her ear.

"Stay calm. If you scream now, I might not be able to save you."

A faint sob escaped her lips, and Takagi Saya nodded, her small face filled with fear.

It's normal. Nobody is a superman who can face these disgusting and hideous monsters with a straight face from the very beginning.

Bai Lan wouldn't criticize others.

Seeing that Takagi Saya seemed to be alright, he let go of her hand and was about to leave when he was caught off guard when Takagi Saya suddenly turned around and hugged him tightly. The force was so great that he could feel the softness against his chest.

Saya Takagi's voice was muffled, with a hint of a sob in it.

"Just a moment..."

Chapter 19 (Please read on) It was me, it was me first, I was clearly the one who came first.

The situation just now was extremely critical.

Once you lose control of your emotions and scream out loud, your fate is self-evident; you'll likely become prey in the next second.

I was terrified...

Saya Takagi breathed deeply into the scent emanating from Shirai, as if trying to imprint the intoxicating hormonal aroma of the half-demon into her heart, in order to dispel the stench and unease she had just inadvertently caught.

Hovering on the edge of life and death, all that's left of her arrogance is her coquettishness.

She seemed to sense a sharp, piercing gaze from behind, but even if she did, how could she dare to let go at this critical moment?

Takagi Saya clung tightly to Shiraishan like a kitten, not daring to let go, as if she wanted to become one with him.

"I'm so sorry, my legs are weak..."

"It'll be over in a minute, just let me have some peace and quiet..."

Among the dozens of corpses, a girl named Takagi Saya is currently nestled in Shirai's arms, acting coquettishly.

That's great, it's great to have a new team!

Takagi Saya didn't regret leaving the previous team for a moment; her heart was filled with gratitude for being in the current team.

I really want to be his team for life!

The dozens of corpses in the shoe-changing room, plus countless more outside, became the capital that allowed Takagi Saya to control the emperor and command the feudal lords.

Saya Takagi's actions made Rei Miyamoto puff out her cheeks. "That's mine! I was here first! Why did you get in there?"

Saeko Busujima silently watched Saya Takagi's retreating figure.

She was pondering something: perhaps a girl who was too strong wouldn't evoke Ah Bai's pity; he would only see her as a reliable companion...

But if I did that, I would never get a hug from Ah Bai...

So...should I also show some weakness?

Father, why did you only teach me to follow the proper ways of a woman, but not how to attract a boy's attention?

Your future son-in-law might be snatched away by someone else.

There are cows! Lots of cows here!!

Only Shizuka Marikawa looked at Saya Takagi with a sullen face, envious. Hmm...it's so nice. She doesn't have to walk by herself, and she doesn't have to face these smelly things again?

...

...

There are too many people, and it seems like there's more of a burden...

Bai Lan looked down at the pink-haired puppy with some distress. If there were more people, would she be able to protect them all?

Wait, how did I become a Guardian? What's with me trying to comprehend the Heart of Guardianship?

My cheap dad wouldn't keep the blade of protection for himself.

The key question is whether the three swordsmen of heaven, earth, and man will even have a chance to participate.

As we all know, if there are three sons in a family, the eldest son bears the most responsibility, the second son is probably the least noticed and least favored, and only the youngest son is pampered.

Coincidentally, Bai Lan is ranked second (sadly).

He cleared his mind of all distractions, placed one hand on the pink puppy's head, and casually stroked its long pink hair, finding it surprisingly pleasant to the touch.

The hair is so smooth and silky that there is almost no resistance when you run your fingertips through it, which shows that daily maintenance is very thorough.

The proud Saya Takagi did not resist being petted by the puppy.

The two paused in the center of the corpse for about thirty seconds, and the pink-haired puppy in their arms gradually began to breathe longer and deeper.
