When Lingyi picked up the bowl, the light sound of the porcelain spoon colliding was particularly clear in the room.
The way she lowered her eyes and blew away the cool air was no different from that of an ordinary girl having a meal.
Busujima Saeko sat quietly, looking at the half-eaten bread on the table and watching the other person swallowing. She suddenly realized that their previous understanding of her was too one-sided.
Those piles of corpses and the sharp and ruthless blades did constitute a part of Lingyi, but the figure holding the hot soup at this moment also allowed her to glimpse the undercurrent beneath the ice.
Maybe, you can try to communicate with each other...
13. Harvest a Cook
The three elements that make up a monster—inability to communicate, unknown identity, and immortality—can basically be summed up as [unknown].
The more an existence meets these conditions, the more it can arouse human fear.
By weakening these traits, the terror brought by the monster will dissipate.
Busujima Saeko is having a similar experience right now.
Lingyi's appearance of lowering her head while eating was quietly dispelling the terrifying fear.
And with this opportunity, she could finally calm down and observe Lingyi carefully at close range.
The girl's appearance is really beautiful——
Her long hair has a dreamy light golden color, falling down like silk, and emitting a soft halo under the light.
Her long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under her eyes, and her fair skin is delicate and flawless, revealing the tenderness and youthfulness unique to a girl.
Her face is delicate and youthful, making her look like a younger sister, with an approachable aura that makes people want to get closer.
Anyone who sees her would mistakenly think she is an ordinary girl who has strayed into the end of the world.
At this moment, she was sitting quietly at the table, lowering her head to taste the stewed meat, her slender fingers holding the chopsticks, her movements quiet and restrained.
Although his face was still indifferent, that indifference at this moment looked more like a kind of quiet and well-behaved behavior.
If you ignore her previous killings and just look at her in front of you - this cute, beautiful, quiet girl, there is almost no reason to be afraid of her.
"My Lord, do you like this stew?"
Busujima Saeko folded her hands on her knees and leaned forward slightly as she asked, her eyes filled with a hint of uneasiness and anticipation.
She still couldn't help herself and spoke out loud, wanting to communicate with Lingyi.
Understand Lingyi and deepen your understanding of Lingyi.
Ling Yi finally raised her head, with the corner of her lips still stained with inconspicuous soup: "Hmm... It's good."
Her voice was calm, yet it held a rare hint of warmth.
The meat is stewed until it is soft and tasty, and the rich aroma spreads on the tip of the tongue. Compared with the cold and hard bread and bland instant noodles that have been used to fill the stomach these days, this carefully prepared dish really gives a completely different feeling.
Thanks to his blood-sucking ability, Lingyi can maintain his physical strength without eating.
So these days, she just grabbed some ready-made food and made do with it hastily - tearing open the sausage package and swallowing it whole, finding a piece of bread to swallow with a drink, and at most making some instant noodles to fill her stomach.
They weren't bad, and she wasn't a picky eater, so she didn't mind eating them at all.
What's more...she can't cook at all.
If she were to do it, it would probably take hours, and all she would get in return would be an inedible dark dish.
However, she is just not picky about food, not that she doesn't like to eat good food.
At this moment, the warm stew melts in the stomach, and the delicious soup still remains on the tip of the tongue.
Busujima Saeko's stew allowed her to enjoy a real dinner for the first time.
"It's good if you like it."
Busujima Saeko smiled sincerely.
This joy came not only from the fact that Lingyi accepted her gratitude, but also from the fact that Lingyi did not continue to remain distant and was willing to talk to her.
"If you don't mind, I can prepare food for you every day."
She suggested softly, her tone tentative yet sincere.
Ling Yi paused with her chopsticks after hearing this, and turned her cold gaze towards Busujima Saeko, with a bit of scrutiny: "...What do you want?"
"I don't want anything."
Busujima Saeko shook her head slightly and met the sharp gaze calmly, "I just wanted to show my humble cooking skills as a token of my gratitude for saving my life."
Lingyi was silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on her face.
"......Can."
She did not refuse.
Compared to those perfunctory meals, the dishes carefully prepared by Saeko Busujima are undoubtedly a rare enjoyment.
So, why not?
"By the way, aren't you guys going to eat together?"
"No, our portions are already prepared."
Busujima Saeko declined politely, but was very happy with Lingyi's invitation.
Sure enough, he looks like a normal person...
"Oh."
After that, the room fell silent.
Only the gentle sounds of Lingyi's meal and the lingering aroma of stewed meat lingered in the air.
Busujima Saeko didn't deliberately look for topics to talk about.
The Yamato Nadeshiko education she received since childhood has made her style of dealing with things gentle and appropriate, and she will never make the atmosphere awkward by deliberately chatting.
And she is well aware that too much is as bad as too little. In this end times full of suspicion and vigilance, getting along step by step is the key to opening people's defenses.
The silence at this moment is not a sign of awkwardness, but rather respect and consideration.
.........
When Lingyi put down her bowl and chopsticks, the porcelain bowl was empty.
Busujima Saeko gently cleared the dishes and prepared to leave with the empty pot.
But Lingyi suddenly called her.
"and many more."
Ling Yi's eyes remained cold, but his tone was more peaceful: "Next time, half the amount will be enough."
Busujima Saeko's cooking skills are impeccable, and she didn't skimp on tonight's dishes—so this pot of stew is enough for one person to enjoy two meals.
But Lingyi didn't want to leave leftovers at home because she had to go out and chop zombies and was too lazy to reheat the leftovers.
But it would obviously not be appropriate to let Busujima Saeko take the leftovers back.
So she just ate it all in one go.
To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming.
Because she had finished eating, and considering Busujima Saeko's personality, she was worried that Busujima Saeko would prepare a larger portion next time.
That's trouble.
So before Busujima Saeko left, she felt it necessary to give her some advice.
Busujima Saeko lowered her eyes to look at the remaining sauce in the pot, and then she realized that the amount she had prepared was far more than needed for one person.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
She nodded apologetically, her hair brushing the edge of the soup-soaked bowl, "I just think I can't repay you for saving my life..."
"It's not a big deal."
Lingyi shook her head and interrupted Busujima Saeko.
Then he paused, and a rare hint of trouble and embarrassment appeared in his cold voice.
"It's just... a little bit full."
Busujima Saeko was stunned at first, then a gentle arc appeared at the corner of her lips, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
She never thought that the figure who was so decisive in killing people in the sea of corpses would now look so down-to-earth.
"Ok, I see."
Busujima Saeko's eyebrows were curved, and her gentle smile carried the dignity and composure unique to Yamato Nadeshiko.
“Next time I will control the portion.”
14. Headhunter, chop off one million heads!
"......"
After the two left, Lingyi sat back on the bed, then lifted the hem of her military skirt, revealing her fair and attractive belly, her skin glowing softly in the dim light.
She reached out and touched it, with a troubled look on her face, her slender fingers gently rubbing the soft belly.
Her lower abdomen was originally flat, but now it was slightly bulging, which was the cause of her troubles.
She was so full that she felt a little uncomfortable now.
Next time I won't force myself to eat so much...
After rubbing her stomach for a while, Lingyi started thinking again about what had happened before, which was interrupted by Busujima Saeko.
The base's manager...When Busujima Saeko appeared, she immediately thought of the protagonists.
In this world, she is a stranger to everyone and it is difficult for her to choose a qualified leader to take her place.
The only exception is the protagonist group.
She didn't know the others, but at least she knew the protagonists.
However, although each of the protagonists has their own strengths, none of them really has the ability to manage the survivor base.
Even the most reliable of them, Busujima Saeko, still finds it difficult to handle this important task.
Maybe, Saya Takagi's parents can?
In the anime, Saya Takagi's parents established a survivor base, and the protagonist group also rested for a short period of time in this base.
But after just a quick thought, Lingyi rejected these two people.
The reason why the protagonists did not stay in the survivor base was because the base was breached after a short time.
Although the reason for the breach was a sudden EMP electromagnetic pulse attack, which caused a large number of equipment to malfunction, this gave the zombies an opportunity to take advantage.
But Lingyi still vaguely remembered that the environment inside the survivor base built by Saya Takagi's parents could only be described as terrible.
To put it bluntly, Saya Takagi's father, Soichiro Takagi, is too weak.
He actually allowed a group of saints who sympathized with zombies to develop, expand, and give speeches among the survivors. Those saints even planned to overthrow Soichiro Takagi.
Even if there were no unexpected situations, the fall of the survivor base was only a matter of time.
Soichiro Takagi didn't manage the base well at all.
He doesn't have the ability or the courage, and is not radical or decisive enough.
.........
On the seventh day after Lingyi came into this world——
Title: Headhunter
Obtaining conditions: Personally chop off the heads of one million humanoid creatures
Effect: Has a natural deterrent effect on humanoid creatures, making them more likely to feel fear.
