Marikawa Shizuka, along with Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya, was checking out her friend Minami Rika's arsenal. As a hobbyist, she had prepared many firearms and weapons in the safe beforehand.
Observing the Dimensional Chat Group, and knowing that the group rescue mission was complete, Busujima Saeko saw Shiraishi Kawa still remaining in her world.
Her eyes showed considerable surprise.
As for how exactly to thank him, Busujima Saeko was also very confused. In a world full of zombies, and with Misaka Mikoto and Shiraishi Kawa both being from modern society,
they were powerful individuals with extraordinary abilities.
Now, seeing that Shiraishi Kawa hadn't left, she felt inexplicably excited. She asked, "Has Misaka Mikoto-senpai already left?"
"Mm."
"Their school probably has strict rules."
The setting of Academy City was still too advanced. Faced with Busujima Saeko's question, Shiraishi Kawa didn't explain in too much detail. The crisis was resolved.
He carefully observed the mature-looking girl in front of him.
During the fight with the dead bodies, Fujimi Academy's white shirt and green pleated skirt were already stained with some blood. For other girls,
this appearance would be somewhat disheveled.
But for Busujima Shura Princess, it was more like an embellishment to her perfect beauty. Seeing her hesitant expression, Shiraishi Kawa asked with a smile,
"Are you curious why I'm still here?"
"Mm."
Busujima Saeko nodded earnestly.
"Points can be exchanged for world teleportation anchor points. Buying items to increase attribute values doesn't have a particularly big effect on me, so I chose to stay."
The dead bodies in the Apocalypse World consistently yield 50 experience points.
Although it's a small amount,
the absolute maximum number makes up for it. Utilizing the dead bodies' sensitivity to sound, one could build dedicated monster-spawning traps, similar to a certain two-character game.
Wouldn't it be great to level up?
Moreover... Thinking of this, Shiraishi Kawa cast his gaze towards Busujima Saeko and said with a smile, "The reasons are complex, but I still chose to stay."
"..."
"...Thank you."
Although she said nothing, feeling the focused gaze on her cheek, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but turn her head slightly. Without the threat of life or death,
she looked seriously at Shiraishi Kawa.
In terms of appearance, he wasn't the type who was stunning at first glance. His features were delicate, and his regularly groomed hair looked very neat, making him definitely a handsome guy.
She had originally thought... that her heart would never beat faster for anyone, but Shiraishi Kawa, standing before her, had a powerful attraction to her.
Love.
Busujima Saeko didn't think someone with such a dark heart like her could ever experience it, but the appearance of this boy made her unable to control herself.
"Actually..."
"..."
Without giving Shiraishi Kawa a chance to speak further, while the other classmates and Marikawa-sensei were looking around, Busujima Saeko proactively hugged him.
Her soft lips tightly sealed his.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, wishing for time to stop completely at that moment. However, due to the voices of Takagi Saya and Miyamoto Rei coming from a distance,
she reluctantly let go.
In the apocalypse, Busujima Saeko's smile was a bit dim, and her tone carried a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I just... wanted to briefly experience the feeling of love."
"Why briefly?"
"Because... someone like me, filled with violence, probably doesn't deserve to be loved," Busujima Saeko blinked her eyes.
He was about to express his thanks.
However, this time it was her turn for her mouth to be kissed.
"I'll go back and prepare some ingredients. There are also some simple matters I need to handle. Tonight's dinner is up to you, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Shiraishi Kawa didn't care at all.
The surrounding dead bodies posed no threat to him, but trying to eat a good meal in such an environment felt like a high difficulty.
Most importantly... today was Monday. He had promised Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei that his daily homework couldn't be neglected. He had already asked Yotsuya Miko before heading to the Konosuba World.
It was about time to go back.
He would prepare some ingredients and retrieve today's homework. Takagi Saya, also a high school student with good academic performance,
would be perfect as a tool.
"No problem!"
This cluster amaryllis blooming in the underworld, this feeling of being chosen, made Busujima Saeko's lips curve upwards. She nodded earnestly.

"Shiraishi-kun, do you have something on today?"
In front of the apartment's security door, Yotsuya Miko took out today's homework and books, already thoughtfully marked with sticky notes.
Looking at Shiraishi Kawa standing before her,
carrying two large bags full of ingredients, she didn't hesitate. After putting the books into her own bag, she handed them to him.
"I have a few things to take care of. Thanks, Yotsuya Miko."
He didn't go into specifics. Talking about traveling to other worlds to save beautiful girls would probably be hard for Yotsuya Miko to believe.
With her school bag on her back,
he could even smell a faint scent of shampoo.
Carrying the two bags of ingredients, Shiraishi Kawa simply thanked her, having no intention of lingering. Busujima Saeko in the Apocalypse World was still waiting for him.
Arriving at the stairwell corner,
after confirming there were no other tenants around, he opened the Dimensional Chat Group.
He decisively chose the Apocalypse World as the teleportation destination, specifically Minami Rika's house, where Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka were located.

"Yotsuya Miko, what's wrong?"
Holding a high-calorie rice ball, Yurikawa Hana looked at her friend standing at the door, seemingly with no intention of closing it. She couldn't help but ask.
Only when his figure completely disappeared from sight did Yotsuya Miko close the security door. She gently shook her head and said, "Shiraishi-kun came to see me."
"He took the day off today for something, so I brought his textbooks back for him."
"Oh."
Yurikawa Hana mumbled a bit while eating, but quickly shifted her attention to the cooking show playing on the TV.
Only Yotsuya Miko remained standing there.
Although Shiraishi Kawa hadn't explained the reason in detail, she guessed it might also be related to exorcism. But even with a general idea,
she didn't know why... Yotsuya Miko always felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. She just wanted to proactively learn more about Shiraishi Kawa, but as a classmate, it seemed... perhaps a bit inappropriate?
