Anime Gate: Devil Familia in a DxD Mashup World

— — — — — — — 

Fujimi Academy

Lynn and his group strolled leisurely toward the parking lot.

Any zombies they encountered on the way were swiftly beheaded by Saeko with a single stroke. None of them could get within three meters of Lynn.

Rei and Saya followed behind them, shrinking their necks like frightened cats.

Their eyes occasionally flickered between Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Marikawa before ultimately landing on Lynn.

'It was obvious—Saeko-senpai and Marikawa-sensei had already transcended normal human limits.'

'In fact, Saeko-senpai was terrifyingly strong!'

'And yet, both of them subtly deferred to that man.'

'Who exactly was he?'

No one would tell them. Even now, they didn't even know his name.

And they didn't dare ask.

Parking Lot

"Ah! I found this!"

Shizuka waved at Lynn, standing beside a yellow-green school bus.

They then decided to board the bus.

The area was eerily silent, as Saeko had already taken care of the zombies around them.

"Uhh..."

Shizuka sat in the driver's seat, staring at the controls, looking a little lost.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside.

"Quick! There's a bus here!"

Moments later, the bus suddenly dipped as someone climbed aboard.

The first to step in was a man in a black pinstripe suit.

"It's him!"

Rei Miyamoto shot him a look of disgust before spotting Takashi Komuro behind him. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Takashi? He's actually with this disgusting man?"

"So he wasn't any good either. Hmph!"

Years ago, he used to chase after her constantly—thankfully, she never gave him the time of day.

She shot him a look of disdain before closing her eyes.

Seeing Koichi Shido again filled her with anger, but she held her tongue.

This bus already had an owner.

Maybe, because of her connection with Saeko-senpai, she and Saya were allowed to board this safe vehicle.

She had no intention of causing trouble and getting kicked off.

Still, she worried—had this disgusting man also evolved somehow?

Koichi Shido scanned the bus.

There were only a few students on board. The only adult was a female teacher.

His confidence soared.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat, preparing to make some grand speech to seize control of the bus.

"Saeko." Lynn just said the name.

In a flash, Saeko appeared in front of Shido.

His pupils shrank in shock, but before he could utter a word, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen as he was sent flying out of the bus.

Rei's eyes lit up with satisfaction, feeling a wave of relief. "Shido is still just an ordinary human. that's good"

Lynn's expression remained indifferent.

He had noticed Shido's group a while ago.

The lightning strike should have caused enough chaos to shift events from the original timeline.

A horde of zombies several times larger than in the original story had swarmed Fujimi Academy, yet somehow, Shido still survived.

Truly, pests were hard to get rid of.

But the moment he saw Takashi, he understood.

"Ah. So he's riding on the protagonist's luck."

...

Shido groaned, clutching his stomach in pain as he glared at Saeko with a mix of fear and fury.

He shouted angrily, "I am a teacher at Fujimi Academy! Attacking a teacher like this is an insult to authority!"

Takashi frowned and stepped forward. "Senpai, please apologize to Shido-sensei!"

He admired Shido's ability to unite people in this crisis.

As long as they followed his lead, they could survive this apocalypse.

If only the people on this bus handed over control, they too could join Shido's group and increase their chances of survival.

But they just attacked Shido without reason!

Takashi was furious.

Especially since, among the passengers, he spotted the girl he had always admired.

"What if Rei loses the chance to join the group because of this?"

He started to panic.

Saeko glanced at him coldly before stepping past him and looming over Shido.

Shing!

The blade flashed.

Shido froze, a cold sweat running down his forehead.

"I'm not killing you here because I don't want your blood dirtying the bus."

"Wait—"

Shido's eyes widened in terror.

A thin red line appeared across his throat.

Thud!

His head hit the ground, eyes frozen in disbelief.

The other survivors were stunned into silence. The blind admiration in their eyes turned to confusion and fear.

Takashi stood frozen.

Shido-sensei... was dead?

"What have you done?!"

He lunged forward, reaching to grab Saeko's collar.

Before he could touch her, his arm was severed in one swift motion.

Plop.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Takashi screamed as his arm hit the floor.

"Did you think I wouldn't kill you?" Saeko's icy voice sent a chill down his spine. She raised her blade again.

Takashi, now drenched in cold sweat, turned to Rei in desperation. "Rei!"

Saeko frowned and looked at her. "You know him?"

Takashi's eyes lit up with hope.

For old times' sake... because he had always liked her...Maybe she would say something to save him?

Rei's brows furrowed in disgust.

The way he called her name made her skin crawl.

They were barely acquaintances, yet he acted like they were close.

"We were in the same class once. Not really familiar."

Shing!

Saeko's blade fell.

Takashi was dead.

Lynn raised an eyebrow in thought.

So, in this world, Takashi and Rei's relationship was different?

Saeko flicked the blood off her blade and swept a cold gaze over the remaining survivors. "Anyone else want to step up?"

Silence.

She sheathed her sword.

The doors closed. The bus started moving.

No one dared to make a scene again.

Killing two people had sent a clear message.

Saeko felt no discomfort from taking human lives.

A blade must do its job. That was one of her creeds.

She was now her master's sword, and it was her duty to cut down those who got in his way.

Considering they only killed two and let the rest live, they had already been merciful.

Meanwhile, Rei snuck a glance at Lynn.

Shido's death had lifted a weight from her heart.

She felt grateful to Saeko-senpai.

But she knew—Saeko only acted because of him.

Her heart pounded as she gazed at Lynn's handsome face.

"He's... a man worth relying on."

Saya sat beside her, barely daring to breathe.

Her usual arrogance was nowhere to be seen.

Saeko patted her lap and smiled warmly at Lynn. "Master, would you like a lap pillow?"

Her tenderness was a stark contrast to her earlier ruthlessness.

Lynn didn't hesitate. He laid down, resting his head against the soft warmth.

Saeko gently massaged his head with delicate fingers.

Lynn enjoyed her service as he pulled out his phone.

The different world's signals should've been useless.

But thanks to his Devil's Contract ability, he could still connect to other world signals.

Effectively creating a Cross-World Chat Group system.

Like a Multiversal Chat Group.

He made a mental note—next time, he should bring more phones so he could add Saeko and the others.

For now, he pinged Utaha Kasumigaoka.
