“Pochita!”
The endpoint of the blood trail on the floor—the junk-filled trash bin—was suddenly knocked open from the inside by something.
Immediately afterward, Su Tang saw a pale arm stretch out.
“…Denjiko?”
The person who jumped out of the trash bin had her back to Su Tang.
From his angle, all he could see was her smooth back.
Although Denjiko had been wearing clothes when Su Tang saw her that afternoon, he still recognized her from that wild head of messy blond hair.
Of course, Su Tang was not the only one who noticed Denjiko.
Right now, the only ones fighting in the entire factory were him and the Zombie Devil.
The sudden appearance of another person was like a flame suddenly appearing in the darkness—impossible to miss.
“What the hell?!”
The Zombie Devil’s already enlarged eyes widened even further, undisguised disgust spreading across its face.
“I tore you to pieces and you’re still alive?!
Why?!
That’s so disgusting!”
“As expected, I really hate Devil Hunters!”
As it spoke, the Zombie Devil mobilized some of the zombies near the trash bin and had them abandon their fight with the shadow ninjas, charging straight toward Denjiko.
“Everyone, eat that thing!”
Logically speaking, both zombies and Su Tang’s lite-version Shadowkhan were mindless beings that could only act according to their masters’ commands.
But Su Tang somehow felt that the zombies on the other side were a little more flexible.
Was it because of the 0.06 kilograms of the Gun Devil’s flesh the gang boss had mentioned earlier?
Su Tang did not know.
All he knew was that his Shadowkhan would not be able to rescue her in time.
They would arrive 0.1 seconds later than the zombies.
“Why aren’t you running?!”
Seeing Denjiko standing there as if she had gone stupid, Su Tang shouted a warning at her.
But it was useless.
Denjiko kept her head lowered, her body blank and motionless.
“Seriously…”
Su Tang frowned.
He did not know why the Zombie Devil was so fixated on killing a little girl who did not seem threatening, and his fire-addled brain did not have room to think too deeply about it.
He only knew that the Zombie Devil was an enemy he had to kill.
And whatever the enemy wanted to do, he absolutely could not let it accomplish easily.
Extending his hand, with his index finger and thumb forming an angle of about forty-five degrees, Su Tang tilted his head and smiled like a hunter taking aim.
“Fire—Repelling Ring of Flame!”
Bzzzz—!
The rapid trembling sound of fire suddenly rang out.
At the critical moment, it appeared between Denjiko and the charging zombie horde.
A ring of fire shot outward from its center point, expanding in all directions like a blast.
Everything within its range, even the dust floating in the air, was forced backward as if pushed by an invisible hand.
The zombies were pushed back.
So was Denjiko.
Looking at the girl who had been shoved in front of him by the ring of fire, Su Tang asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?
Why are you here?”
Perhaps because she heard Su Tang’s voice, Denjiko seemed to wake from a dream.
Light gradually returned to her previously empty eyes.
“Mr.
Su Tang!”
She cried out in delighted surprise.
Immediately afterward, her face flushed bright red.
Trembling, she raised a finger toward Su Tang and stammered, “M-Mister… you… you…”
What about me?
Following the direction of Denjiko’s finger, Su Tang curiously lowered his head and looked.
No problem.
His skin was unbroken, and his body seemed normal…
Oh.
Connecting that with the blush on the girl’s face, Su Tang suddenly understood.
His shirt—that thin white shirt—had been mostly burned away during the fight just now.
Only a few strips of cloth remained half-hanging from his body, leaving his chest and abdomen partly exposed.
That was it?
Su Tang wanted to scratch his head.
He was not quite sure whether his body really had that much impact.
Or was it simply because the girl was at that age, right in the middle of puberty and extremely curious about the opposite sex?
Thinking that, Su Tang simply tore off the last few strips of cloth still hanging from his upper body.
They were getting in the way of the fight and limiting his movement.
“Eh?
Ehhh!”
Denjiko’s eyes widened, and she stared without blinking.
“Stop staring.
Su Tang casually tossed the strips of cloth to Denjiko and smiled.
“As for you, use these to cover yourself up.
Don’t catch a chill.”
At this moment, the girl was facing him directly, and her exposed state was plain to see.
However, Su Tang only glanced once and did not pay much attention.
Setting aside the matter of his fire-addled brain, she was visibly undernourished and far too thin to interest him.
To be honest, if it were not for the pull-cord-like thing on her chest, he might not even have been able to tell front from back.
Right, the pull cord?
Su Tang frowned.
He kept feeling that pull cord looked familiar…
Had he seen it somewhere before?
Boom—!
The Zombie Devil’s blood intestine smashed down.
Su Tang pushed Denjiko aside and used a wall of fire to block the intestine.
He remembered!
That little dog-like Devil!
What was its name again?
And why had Denjiko not brought it with her?
“Aaaaaaaah!
Damn Devil Hunters!”
As if Denjiko’s appearance had provoked it, the Zombie Devil went berserk, frantically swinging the five or six grotesque blood intestines beneath it.
“You humans are all despicable, shameless, disgusting, greedy fools!”
“See these zombies fighting here?!
Haha, they’re all stupid beyond belief!
In order to make a contract with me, they brought me Devil Hunters to kill.
But they never knew that gaining the power of the Zombie Devil would turn them into zombies!
Hahahahaha!”
At this moment, Su Tang really wanted to say: nice.
The local gang really knew how to play around.
It was bad enough that they had no manners; they were also fearless in all the wrong ways.
They were practically outstanding representatives of intellectual disability.
He moved back and forth through the flames, dodging while looking for a chance to hit the Zombie Devil with something heavy again.
But someone else seemed to have a different idea.
Denjiko, who had wrapped the strips of cloth around herself, opened her mouth in a grin and tilted her head toward the Zombie Devil.
“You’re so damn noisy!
You ruined my dream, so go die!
Die—!”
Bzzzz—!
Before her manic words had even finished, they were drowned out by the sudden roar of a chainsaw.
Su Tang turned his head.
When he saw the sight before him, his pupils immediately shrank.
What the hell was that?!
On what had originally been Denjiko’s body, three wildly spinning chainsaws had suddenly appeared.
One on her head.
Two on her arms.
Her human head had vanished, replaced by some kind of steel head that gleamed with a metallic luster, shaped like the handle of a chainsaw.
“You… are you still Denjiko?”
Su Tang was somewhat puzzled.
The way she looked now seemed more like a Fiend.
