[Anime] Ch 26: Establishing a Familia Base
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 20:37:07 +0000 UTC— — — — — —
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 worlds…As 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 enough—her 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 way—not 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.
But…Some people were missing.
If he remembered correctly…Wasn'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?
