"As expected, it's really weak." Lynn sighed.
He wasn't exactly sure what was happening, but he knew that Devil's Piece wouldn't change for no reason.
He didn't know if this change was because of his rank-up or some other reason.
For now, he set the mystery of Devil's Piece aside and turned his attention back to Saeko.
After copying down her updated status, Saeko, still undressed, carefully examined the changes to her stats.
Her rank…She was now a Mid-Class Devil.
She had already felt the transformation in her body during the upgrade.
It was a fundamental change.
It felt like her body was filled with an explosive power, a strength that hadn't been there before.
She could tell—her current self could easily overwhelm her past self.
And more than that…She could feel that her skill Blade Devil had undergone some kind of change.
Sure enough…When she saw the new ability Blade Armor added under Blade Devil, her eyes lit up with understanding.
She focused her mind.
Shing!
A sharp, gleaming blade suddenly extended from Saeko's right arm.
"So this is Blade Armor…" Lynn muttered in thought.
Saeko curiously examined her new ability.
"It feels… strange," she murmured.
It was as if the blade was an extension of her own flesh and blood.
She flicked the blade lightly with her delicate fingers.
A crisp metallic sound rang out.
"It's really durable."
Saeko was very satisfied with this new power.
Now she no longer needed to search for a suitable weapon.
The sword she had brought from school had already been worn down after weeks of intense battles.
This ability came at just the right time!
Finally…There was the new Development Ability.
"…Swordmaster?" Saeko muttered.
"It suits you perfectly." Lynn patted her head.
Like a cat, Saeko closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly, enjoying her master's touch.
"Master, I've taken another step closer to becoming your sharpest blade," she said, blinking up at him expectantly.
She was clearly waiting for a reward.
Lynn smirked and gently pinched her chin.
No words were needed between master and servant.
That night, the rain poured down.
That night, the sounds didn't stop.
That night, someone new couldn't sleep.
For the first time, Shiina Mahiru was spending the night at the familia base in the World of Highschool the Dead.
And it was proving to be quite the experience.
"T-The sounds… are too loud…"
Wrapped up in a blanket, Mahiru pulled it over half her face, her caramel-colored eyes peeking out.
At that moment, her eyes looked a little… moist.

The Next Morning
At dawn, Kasumigaoka Utaha took one look at Shiina Mahiru's dark circles and burst out laughing.
"So this is what you get for not going home!" she teased.
Mahiru blushed in embarrassment and hurried off to make breakfast.
However, her enthusiasm caused two particular people to start feeling uneasy—Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya.
They had always considered themselves responsible for the team's logistics.
But if Mahiru took over even that…
Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya exchanged glances, both coming to the same realization.
Over the past few days, through conversations with Saeko and the others, they had gradually come to understand Lynn's true identity.
A Devil. A being they had only ever heard about in myths and legends.
And yet, here he was, standing right in front of them.
At first, it seemed unbelievable.
But then again, these past few weeks had been filled with unbelievable things.
First, the apocalypse happened, turning most of humanity into Zombies.
Then, Saeko and the others started displaying supernatural powers.
Saeko's sword aura, Utaha's magic, Shizuka's healing tonics, Miko's spirit attacks…
And yesterday, a literal Fallen Angel had appeared before them!
Everything defied common sense.
Not to mention, everyone here was Lynn's servant—except for the two of them.
They had already considered becoming his subordinates. But they feared they weren't worthy.
After all, if Lynn had wanted them as his servants, wouldn't he have claimed them already?
They still remembered what Saeko had told them about their duties as part of the support team—including keeping Lynn entertained.
Back then, they had even fantasized about what that might mean. And they had mentally prepared themselves.
"This is the apocalypse," they had told themselves. "If we want to survive, we have to make sacrifices, right?"
"There aren't many men left… we can't stay single forever, can we?"
"And it's Lynn. He's strong, handsome, reliable, and has supernatural powers. If it's him, it wouldn't be so bad, right?"
They had convinced themselves.
They had even… started looking forward to it.
And yet…Nothing happened.
Nothing at all.
It was frustrating.
But today…They had waited long enough.
Determination burned in their eyes.
Lynn stepped out of Saeko's room feeling refreshed.
Last night, he had been quite… thorough in "ba...uh training" Saeko.
Even as a Mid-Class Devil, she couldn't afford to slack off.
As he walked into the living room, he immediately noticed something.
Rei and Saya were staring at him.
Their eyes were full of expectation.
Lynn hesitated.
"Uh… you two…"
"Master Lynn!"
Both of them suddenly stepped forward.
"Please make us your servants!"
