Everyone around was standing frozen.

But will he just waste his time and stand there?

No way!

"What are we doing out here? Trying to eat the wind or what?" No one answered, so Sato said, "Since no one is going to say anything, then I will make myself at home."

He walked towards the mansion.

His group members looked at each other. None of them knew what to do, so they just followed behind him.

The remaining left are the Takagi estate members.

No one said anything.

But as the leader, the big pet had to take responsibility and solve this mystery.

He needs to know how and why the situation turned out so weird.

Turning to look at Yuriko, he asked, "What's going on? Why was everyone acting so weird?"

"It's nothing. It was just a little surprise that our daughter came," Yuriko lied with no hesitation.

All the listeners swore to keep this talk a secret.

None wanted the big pet to know.

If he does, what if he cut them down because of rage?

They are not stupid enough to seek death.

And even if they really rattle, the big pet won't bother about Sato.

One reason is that he had saved Saya.

Another reason is that the big pet has too much pride, and the prestige won't allow him to deal with Sato.

And the last reason is that he just sees this as a child thing.

As a politician, people had said a lot more than this behind his back.

Inside the mansion.

Walking in the hallway, Sato looked outside the window.

There was no public zombie execution.

This also means he had arrived at Takagi estate much earlier than in the anime.

Which also means he has more time to prepare his evil plan.

The evil plan is for the people that will arrive at the Takagi estate.

Who are those people?

How about you try to guess?

Yep, what you are thinking is right.

He is waiting for Takashi, Kohta, and Shido's group.

Let's just call them the idiot group from now on.

How sure is he that the idiot group will appear?

He is 100% sure that the idiot group will show up here.

Well, he is not really sure about Takashi and Kohta. But Shido's group will definitely come.

Their arrival is the event point, indicating Sato's group needs to continue the journey.

So no matter what, Shido's group will definitely show up.

Well, if they are not already dead. But with the timeline being such an @sshole, they are probably still alive.

That means nuclear weapons will also be launched around the world.

This also means the electronics will also get burnt.

Alright, let's leave this aside for now.

"Self-proclaimed genius, show me around the house. And lead me to the guest room. Also, I kinda feel a little hungry, so go and bring some food," Sato ordered Saya with his back towards her.

He acted like he was the house owner, and Saya was his servant.

If people didn't know, they would really believe he is the house owner.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Look around for yourself!"

How about I look for your room?

How about I force myself in the bathroom while you are taking a bath?

How about I make a night visit?

He gave her a glance then kept on walking, "Then don't blame me if I intrude into your room at night since I don't really know the ways here."

"Y-You!" She pointed at him, but he looked like he didn't care about her, so she has to give up whatever ideas she had in her mind, "Fine! Follow me. And remember, don't get lost!"

She took a quick step and led the team.

Fight with me?

Takagi Saya, you are still too young.

Even with 10 more years, you still won't be able to defeat me.

So be obedient and listen to my orders.

The group followed Saya.

They were shown around the mansion and the guest room location.

The group is now going to the dining room.

Sitting on the chairs while waiting for the food, Sato said, "After lunch, I will go and do some research on those zombies. It may take a couple of days or just a few hours."

Research?

Leave that for those foolish heroes.

They can take all those sh*t and crap.

There's no way he will waste his time on that.

Look at his empty [Storage].

Well, almost empty.

The [Storage]has 10 times more space after being upgraded. And it's screaming for him to fill it.

So what he needs to do now is go and collect resources. Then go back to his world and get some other stuff.

"Do you need our help?" Rei asked.

If they follow him, then there's no way he can explain how the things around disappeared. Another point is that he will need to explain his sudden disappearance.

Should he use his talk no Jutsu and try to get their loyalty and trust. Afterward, try to convince them to believe in him. And then take them to collect resources and explain that he is actually from another world.

That sounds like a good plan.

What a genius plan!

Nope.

That is ridiculous.

If there are people who actually do it, then please tell him.

He will send them to the afterlife for free.

Since that's the case, then the answer is obvious.

"I am fine being alone," he replied.

No one tried to pursue him.

They have seen him going out alone a few times, and he had always come back unscathed.

It felt like killing zombies is only a morning exercise for him.

After a while, food was brought, and they ate.

The food was just rice and curry.

Nothing fancy.

After finishing his meal, it was time for a zombie hunt.

While walking out, he encountered a person.

A hidden evil smile formed on his face, but he quickly hid it.

After throwing the bait, the fish is finally hooked.

It was a female in a ponytail.

She was standing there, leaning against the door frame and looking at him.

And it looks like she is armed.

Below, she wore female battle boots with heels and long lace purple stockings.

Above, she wore a black loose tank top, and it looks like she wore a sports bra inside.

In the middle, she wore a skirt that shows the string of her thong and her entirely right thigh.

She also has purple gloves and a special belt holding her sword.

As for the sword?

He really has no idea where she got it from.

It can be seen that many of the Takagi estate combat members are using cold weapons. So she perhaps got a sword from them.

And there is only one female who fits this description.

It's Saeko!

Now the question is how he baited Saeko.

Let him explain.

As some may have noticed, while interacting with her, he had made it somewhat ambiguous. This is to prevent their relationship from developing into friendship.

The main point is him always trying to hint that they are the same type of people. This way, he can draw her attention and slowly fascinate, attract, and bewitch her.

But that is, after all, only a hint.

No matter how obvious the hint is, she will not take the bait if she isn't sure.

So the breakthrough is the incident he shot and killed the two men with no hesitation. This shows that he has nothing against taking a life, exactly like her. At that time, she can finally conclude that they are the same.

What a good plan and bait, right?

You may now call me—Master Baiter.

Alright, let's get back to the story.

He looked at her and asked, "Are you going to follow me?"

Even if he expected this, he still needs to show surprise and ask her.

Can't make her discover that he is a crafty, calculating, and cunning guy.

Not yet.

She nodded and smiled, "Yes, I have wanted to go with you but never had the opportunity. Now, I finally got the chance."

Got the chance to show your sadistic tendencies?

While being in the group, she always restrained herself. She was afraid others would judge her. But she realized Sato is probably the only one who would never do it.

Most of the time, Sato's expression is neutral. But when he kills zombies, she can see a subtle hint of joy in his eyes.

But there's something different between them.

He clearly showed his nature while she hid it behind a mask.

Now, she wants to take down that mask and be like him—honest to herself.

But she is scared.

She is scared people around will judge her.

That's why she wants to follow him and have a talk.

Saeko's appearance made him change his plan.

His original plan was to find a place with resources to collect, then go back to his world.

But since the fish is hooked, let's catch it.

Looking at Sato, who was silent, she asked, "Why don't you say anything? Can't I follow?"

Of course, you can.

This may be something that will change your life completely.

And I am sure you will love it.

You will really love it.

Sato looked at her, gave her a meaningful smile, walked past her, and said, "No, you can follow."

Saeko looked at him.

That smile appeared on his face once again.

In response, she curled a sadistic smile.

Walking through the Takagi estate, no one prevented them or questioned them.

The security felt a little too lax, but it's a good thing for him.

Sato looked at the map in his hand. He got it from Saya.

Time to conquer Saeko!
