  However, Shizuka Marikawa seemed to be an exception...

  Seeing Saeko still fully engaged in sying zombies, Roy fshed to her side, his eyes fixed ily upon her.

  "Look out!" Saeko cried, assuming the figure that suddenly appeared before her was a zombie.

  His features were delicate and handsome, his eyes sparkling like stars, captivating her gaze. This incredibly attractive young man possessed an air of nobility, the unmistakable mark of one born into high society.

  Furthermore, the zombies' necks didn't sever until seds after the strike. Just how fast was his swordsmanship?

  Who exactly was this noble young man?

  Filled with shod curiosity, Saeko looked at Roy.

  "Saeko-senpai, I'm quite taken with you. Please bey servant."

  With the greetings out of the way, Roy stated his purpose directly.

  Though blunt, as a man of few words, he couldn't jure up sweet nothings to woo a girl. Besides, Saeko might not appreciate su approach.

  Saeko blinked, stunned. She thought she had misheard him.

  "Kouhai, could you repeat that? I believe I misheard you."

  Just as Roy prepared to reiterate his offer, a cry echoed from a nearby .

  "Ah... Stay away... Don't e any closer..."

  However, the nail gun was y. Trapped, the young man and a girl could only wat despair as the zombies closed in.

  Thump! Thump! Thump!

  Just as they closed their eyes, brag for the iable, a sound like vegetables being chopped echoed through the room, followed by the thud of bodies hitting the floor.

  After a long moment without pain, the girl cautiously opened her eyes.

  The girl stared at her rescuer, speechless.

  Rhe stunned girl as Saya Takagi.
