“Body?”
Saeko Busujima froze when she saw the condition.
Her gaze drifted toward Ethan.
He shrugged.
“Don’t look at me like that. It means exactly what you think it means.”
“But that’s the only thing you have left that can be used as payment.” ⚖️
He spoke casually.
“Of course, if you don’t accept, the trade won’t happen.”
“But there’s something you need to understand.”
“A trade isn’t about what you have. It’s about what I want.” 💬
Those words weren’t only directed at Saeko Busujima.
They were meant for every member of the chat group.
Silence fell.
Aside from her sword skills… she truly had nothing.
Nothing but this still-untouched body.
“Damn it… are we really going to die here?” Saya Takagi’s unwilling voice rang beside her.
Saeko knew she didn’t have time to hesitate.
It was only a body.
Lives mattered more.
In the quiet, she made her decision.
[Ding! Trade initiated!]
[Target]: Saeko Busujima
[Trade Content: Rescue Rei Miyamoto and the others, and ensure their safety within the time limit!]
[Trade Condition: Right to use Saeko Busujima’s body.] 📜
[Stay Duration]: 3 hours.
The moment the notification sounded, Ethan moved.
⚡
In a flash, he tore through the dead in front of him and appeared before Rei Miyamoto, whose lifeless eyes were moments away from being bitten.
A gust of wind brushed her cheek.
What she saw was a tall, broad back.
Ethan clenched his fist.
Saya Takagi and the others shivered.
The next second—
BOOM!!
A violent wave of freezing air exploded outward, stopping just short of the three girls before surging in every other direction.

Every corpse it touched froze solid.
“Wh… what is that?!”
People in the school building stared wide-eyed.
The frost kept spreading.
Within seconds, the entire area in front of the school was covered in ice.
The dead stood frozen in place like lifelike ice sculptures.
Crack!
Even the classroom windows shattered from the cold.
Only the area around Ethan remained untouched.
“What… even is this…” Saya muttered blankly.
Ethan wasn’t holding a single weapon.
[Level]: 17
He leveled up again.
A grin spread across his face.
No corpses remained nearby, and there were still over five hours left.
No time to waste.
“Hey. Snap out of it and move. Saeko Busujima traded her body so I could save you. Don’t die now.” 🗣️
He frowned at the dazed Rei, scooped her up under one arm like firewood, and started toward the school gate.
Saeko walked over at that moment.
“Miss Saeko!” Saya had countless questions, but Saeko calmly shook her head.
“Not now. Follow him.”
Saya and Shizuka Marikawa exchanged glances and nodded.
“Okay.”
The livestream ended abruptly.
But the chat group exploded with discussion.
📱
Mai Sakurajima: Did I just see a body trade?
😳
Frieren: Oh, I saw it too.
It was right in the system prompt.
Mai Sakurajima: Body… you mean that, right?
Lying on her bed, Mai blushed.
At first, the disaster movie–like scene had terrified her.
Those corpses were horrifying.
She couldn’t believe it was real—happening in a group member’s world.
The trade notification had appeared in the chat.
There was only one thing that could mean.
That thing men and women do together.
Ethan: Yeah.
Pretty much what you’re thinking.
Mai’s eyes widened.
Suddenly the chat group felt bizarre.
Stella: S-selling your body?!
Mai Sakurajima: Are we sure this isn’t some kind of escort chat group?!
Ethan: What do you think?
Ethan: You all saw the livestream.
I crossed into another world to do this.
Mai Sakurajima: But trading body usage is way too weird!!
Ethan led the girls away from the school, freezing any corpses that rushed them while casually checking the chat.
His reply was simple:
Ethan: Unfortunately, Saeko Busujima has nothing else left to trade.
Ethan: The trade wasn’t forced.
She agreed.
That’s all that matters to me.
Saeko Busujima: Yes.
This was my decision, and I will take responsibility.
⚔️
Mai Sakurajima: …
With the person involved speaking up, Mai couldn’t argue anymore.
Akame: What does “body usage” require?
Stella: Don’t ask such dirty questions so casually!!
Frieren: Isn’t reproduction between human partners necessary and sacred?
That’s what I’ve heard.
As a long-lived elf, Frieren was slow to grasp human emotional reactions.
She wouldn’t do such things herself, but she didn’t see anything strange about it either.
Stella: B-but they’re not doing it to have children!!
Her face turned as red as an apple.
How could everyone in this chat accept this so easily?!
“…..”
