A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Can I go on an adventure there too?"

"you……?"

"Yes, I want to become stronger. I wish I could become as strong as Miss Ais."

Saeko Busujima now believes she can't even protect herself.

Especially when dealing with a larger number of dead bodies.

Not to mention someone like Ais, who fought against multiple armed thugs.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Hai, curious about how Ais would respond, saw a glass of water appear before him.

Sitting on the sofa, he looked to one side, where Takagi Saya was standing.

"Please have some water, Mr. Chenhai."

Aren't you going to pack your luggage?

“I’ve already taken care of mine. My mother still has some documents, but I don’t think those things are important now.”

"It depends on the individual."

Chen Hai took a sip of water from his glass.

"Where are Miss Marikawa and Miyamoto?"

"Mr. Juchuan and Ms. Miyamoto are in the restroom. To save time, they didn't take a shower, they just wiped themselves with a towel, and they'll be out soon."

"What about you?"

"Me? Huh? Do I smell?"

Saya Takagi raised her right hand, sniffed it, and found no strange smell.

After all, apart from running away before, he hadn't exercised much.

At that moment, Ais turned to Saeko Busujima and gave a thoughtful answer.

"If you are determined to become stronger, then going to the dungeon to train will definitely not be a problem. It's just that you're starting from a very low level right now, so you need to proceed step by step."

"I see... May I ask what kind of place the dungeon is?"

"Mr. Chenhai's residence is a world entirely under his control."

Upon hearing Ais's words, Saeko Busujima's gaze shifted to Tatsumi.

A girl who yearned to become stronger, pursued battle, and whose heart was excited by killing walked up to Chen Hai.

"Can I also become stronger in the dungeon, Mr. Chenhai?"

"The dungeon will not refuse anyone, provided that they abide by the rules I set."

"I will definitely keep my word!"

In order to become stronger, Saeko Busujima agreed without even asking the questions.

Chen Hai guessed that Ais's amazing performance had shocked Saeko Busujima, which was why the girl was so excited.

However, one should not be impatient for success in everything.

"If you really want to go to the dungeon, I can arrange it."

"Thank you very much."

Saeko Busujima realized she had gotten too excited earlier, so after regaining her composure, she thanked him softly in the manner of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman).

I was quite surprised to watch the whole thing.

She had heard various 'legends' about Saeko Busujima at school and thought she was a very approachable rich girl, but what happened?

He seems to be a thrill-seeking, battle-crazed maniac.

Saya Takagi didn't say any of this, but instead looked behind her.

Footsteps echoed from the second-floor stairs as Shizuka Marikawa and Rei Miyamoto, having finished wiping themselves with towels, came down.

Following behind them was Yuriko Takashiro, carrying a huge suitcase.

"let's go."

Yuriko Takagi looked at her daughter and decided to take action now.

However, before leaving, she asked everyone...

What are everyone's plans?

"I am preparing to go to Lord Chenhai's 'underground city'."

"An underground city? What's that? A shelter located underground?"

"do not know."

"..."

Saeko Busujima's answer left Yuriko Takagi completely baffled.

At this time, Takagi Saya asked her mother...

Where are we going next?

"Our current plan is to go to the airport and then take a plane to leave the country; although I saw that the 'dead body' crisis broke out all over the world before the signal was cut off, there must be safe places."

"What if the city we land in isn't safe either?"

This is exactly what Takagi Saya is worried about.

The same goes for Rei Miyamoto.

"I'm afraid the whole world will be in chaos."

"Well, it seems our country hasn't sent out any evacuation notices yet, so the situation must be many times more serious than we think."

Shizuka Marikawa cupped her cheeks, analyzing the situation with a troubled expression.

While the girls were feeling uneasy, Ais stepped forward with a watermelon alarm clock that she had somehow found.

"If we compare this to the current state of the world, is it possible that... Orario is safer? At least that's what I think."

"A safe Orario? Where is it?"

"The mountain behind the school we came from is the way to Orario."

"Completely incomprehensible..."

Yuriko Takagi was dumbfounded once again.

Chen Hai provided an explanation.

"Just treat it as another world."

"Another world!?"

Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya stared wide-eyed.

Chen Hai smiled and raised his right hand, the flames dancing at his fingertips illuminating the girls' faces.

"If we didn't come from another dimension, do you think we would have such special power?"

"It's not just the 'dead body' virus that turns humans into monsters, there's even another world..."

After Shizuka Marikawa finished speaking, she grabbed Tatsumi's outstretched right hand.

The flames did not burn the teacher.

She said excitedly

"I want to see it!"

"Me too...!"

Rei Miyamoto would rather be in the safe other side than stay in this world.

Faced with this scene, Saya Takagi also turned to her mother.

"We also..."

"If Mr. Chenhai and Ais don't mind, please allow us to come along as well."

After hearing the shocking facts, the girls, teachers, and mothers gathered there all wanted to go and see 'Oario'.

Chapter 40 Shizuka Marikawa's Request for a Bath Together

The world, invaded by 'zombies', has fallen into chaos.

Feeling uneasy about the future, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and the others accepted Ais's suggestion and decided to head to Orario.

So everyone got back into the vehicle driven by Shizuka Marikawa.

Because of the extra person, it was much more crowded than before, so Chen Hai was sandwiched between Ais and Yako...

Not long after, the body heat of the girls on both sides dissipated, and Chen Hai, now free, got off the car.

Fujimi Academy was just as silent as when I left it.

The originally violent and crazed 'dead bodies' were all instantly killed by Chen Hai, making this place the safest place in the city.

However, the destination of this trip is located on the mountainside behind the college.

That is the 'dimensional entrance' that connects the underground city to another world.

The mother and daughter, Gao Cheng, carrying their suitcases, stepped onto the uneven road, a hint of unease on their faces.

They knew how powerful Chen Hai and Ais were, but they weren't sure if their choice was the right one.

If another world really exists, is it truly safe there?

But now it seems there are no other options...

In contrast, Shizuka Marikawa thoroughly enjoyed this unique 'hiking trip'.

She would occasionally observe the nearby flowers and remove the weeds stuck to Miyamoto Rei's skirt.

She can be described as a typical innocent character, an optimist, and also has the 'clumsy girl' trait.

“I remember it was just ahead.”

Saeko Busujima suddenly spoke up.

The life-changing encounter she had was just ahead.

This is true.

Ais, who was leading the way, quickly slowed down and stopped on a platform halfway up the mountain. There was a bench behind her and a dimensional gate in front of her that connected to the 'Seventeenth Floor of the Underground City'.

"It actually exists..."

Yuriko Takagi was astonished.

Even if you've mentally prepared yourself, you'll still be shocked when you see it with your own eyes.

"It looks like a cave over there?"

"To be precise, it's a passage to the seventeenth floor of the underground city, but it belongs to Mr. Chen Hai, so there's no need to worry."

Ais responded, guaranteeing the safety of the other side of the dimensional gate.

As an example, she took the first step and went inside.

Shizuka Marikawa had no doubts and immediately followed the blonde swordswoman.

Saeko Busujima, who was waiting at the back, also set off and entered the inner side of the dimensional gate.

“Let’s go over there too, Mother.”

"Ah... um...!"

Takashiro and her daughter prepared themselves mentally and stepped through the strange gate connecting to another world.

As you enter the underground city from the back of the mountain, the temperature drops considerably.

A chill then engulfed everyone.

Chen Hai then inquired with the system.

Anyone can freely enter and exit this dimensional portal?
