After signing the contract with Miyamoto Rei, Kevin came to another room.
"Already asleep?"
Seeing the blonde school doctor resting her head on Minami Rika's legs, he asked casually.
"Yeah, she must be very tired these two days."
Minami Rika pinched her friend's face, and the sleeping Marikawa Shizuka showed a baby-like peaceful sleeping face.
For a natural person like her, zombies and the apocalypse are indeed too difficult for her.
"What about the contract?"
"I've already told her that."
"So happy?"
Kevin was a little surprised. He thought Minami Rika would stop him from signing a contract with her best friend.
After all, as a contractor, Minami Rika should know that this is a "contract of sale" with extremely strong binding force.
"This might be a good thing for her."
Minami Rika shrugged and looked out the window at the messy street scene.
"The disaster that happened in this world is too cruel to everyone."
"Without this contract, it would be difficult for people like her to survive."
"At least you'll protect her, won't you?"
"certainly."
Kevin nodded and looked at the sleeping Marikawa Shizuka, feeling a little excited.
It wasn't because of the sudden sight of springtime - although that was part of the factor - it was more because of the information obtained through [identification].
[Contract Skill - Emergency Rescue: Reduces the duration of your "Death Penalty" by 50%, and can revive dead contractors when serving as a "Nurse"]
Simply reducing the duration of the death penalty by half is enough for Kevin to take it seriously.
Not to mention that after letting Marikawa Shizuka serve as the "nurse", there is no need to worry about the safety of the contractors anymore.
Even if you die, you can be resurrected directly.
Of course, it is best not to need to be resurrected.
"…Hmm?"
Perhaps she heard the conversation between the two, Marikawa Shizuka rubbed her eyes and woke up.
After seeing Kevin, she seemed to realize something and said happily.
"Are you here to sign a contract with me?"
"That's right."
Seeing Marikawa Shizuka so excited, Kevin always felt guilty of coaxing a child.
"Minami Rika should have told you everything about the contract."
"If there are no problems... we can make the contract now."
Thanks to Minami Rika's assistance, the subsequent contract process went very smoothly.
It didn't take Kevin much time to gain a new contractor.
It went so smoothly that he felt like it was unreal.
After completing the contract, Marikawa Shizuka happily clung to her best friend, like a golden retriever seeking praise.
"Hehe, now I am the same as Minami Rika."
It seems that she doesn't have any ulterior motives, as long as she can be with Minami Rika.
Another figure emerged in Kevin's mind.
"So...what is she thinking about now?"
As the last member of the protagonist group, he is also the one responsible for the fighting force.
Unlike Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya, Busujima Saeko does not have relatives in this city.
They are not like Marikawa Shizuka and Minami Rika, who are close friends.
In this doomsday island city where order is gradually collapsing...where should she go from now on?
Busujima Saeko stared blankly at the sky outside the window which was becoming increasingly darker, and fell into deep thought.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
"It's really dangerous when you run into those biker gangs, isn't it?"
Busujima Saeko turned around and saw that it was the young man who came to her rescue. The expression on her pretty face gradually softened.
"Yes, thanks to Kevin-jun for coming to the rescue."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
Kevin walked to the balcony and looked out at the dark city with the purple-haired girl beside him.
"You asked your companions to break out first, not only because you were worried about their safety..."
"Another reason is that you don't want them to see your other side, right?"
Busujima Saeko was stunned for a moment, seeming a little surprised as to why Kevin knew her secret.
"Although this is our first meeting, you seem to know me very well, Kevin-kun."
Of course, I know you so well that I even know exactly what color your underwear is now.
Kevin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But on the surface, he still looked calm.
"If you don't have a goal to act on for the time being, you can act with me for the time being."
After thinking about it, Kevin suggested.
"In front of me, you don't have to hide the secrets that you don't normally want to be discovered."
"..."
Seeing that Busujima Saeko fell silent, Kevin continued to add.
"I mean, you can enjoy killing to your heart's content..."
"Is it really possible?"
Busujima Saeko suddenly asked back.
"In the eyes of normal people, people like me are probably just like freaks."
"Freak?"
Kevin smiled and scoffed at this statement.
"Now even the whole world has become abnormal, so what if I'm a freak."
"In a few days, this city will face a sudden change, and I need a strong fighter."
"If you are willing, you can accept my employment. As for the compensation..."
Kevin said meaningfully.
"I can give you a contract."
"A contract of sale that guarantees absolute obedience to me."
"As long as you sign the contract, you will fight for me and kill without any psychological burden."
"Even if you die, I can revive you."
"how?"
Although Busujima Saeko does not have a contract skill.
But considering her fighting ability, Kevin was still happy to take the initiative to issue a contract invitation.
After all, he needs enough manpower in Bedzhu City to deal with the "Blood Moon" incident.
There is only one person capable of fighting, Minami Rika, and she is unable to cope with all the other tasks.
Add to that Busujima Saeko, who is good at close combat, and the combination is even more efficient.
And Kevin firmly believed that the other party would not refuse the price he offered.
For a normal person, a contract with a coercive effect is tantamount to a contract of selling oneself.
However, as Busujima Saeko herself said, she is a "freak" different from normal people.
"Before this, I never thought I would trust someone so much that I only met once."
Busujima Saeko looked at Kevin with a complicated expression.
Even though only a few hours had passed since we met.
But she felt that the other party had seen through all her secrets.
Not only that, he didn't care about the things he tried so hard to hide.
In this case... accepting his proposal seems to be a good choice.
"Once a woman from the Busujima family makes a decision, she will never change her mind."
Busujima Saeko took a deep breath and looked at Kevin seriously.
"I hope the man I like won't let me down."
"Next...how should I sign a contract with you?"
