Chapter 441: Guess who's back~? (1)
...because of the covert type of mission they were on, the distance they could travel without alerting anyone was very limited – hence a situation like this could occur...
Zombie, who ended up going together with Mirabelle and a few more elves who had their loved ones kidnapped by the Envy family, were staying in the tiny forest between the territories, on their way to the royal palace in the capital of the kingdom, ended up having time to spare while one of the elves came to change him on the guard duty...
...Zombie was very taken aback, but the elves were treating him as some sort of celebrity or even an idol since the moment they left the hidden village and were going out of their way to please him.
…
With that in mind, Zombie ended up laying on the ground, staring at branches of the tree above him, unable to train any of his skills because of the precautions their group was taking.
"...this is ridiculous..."
The blue undead sighed with a bitter expression, putting his left hand under his head.
"...is it though? The knife-ears want to show their gratitude, you did receive the savior of the elves' title, didn't you master? I bet that it has some sort of secret passive ability to make the elves love you unconditionally."
The bushy green bracelet on his left wrist murmured right into his ear after raising its segmented head.
"I can't help but feel like you are jealous, George..."
Zombie murmured under his breath, cautious not to wake up the elves sleeping nearby.
"Oh, that's because I am, as a creature that takes power from the sin of envy it is impossible for me not to be a petty little bug – but you of all the creatures have nothing to worry about as I find you way too troublesome to attack."
"..."
*peck*
The half-plant centipede giggled quietly, and as Zombie went silent with a clouded expression, it raised its body a bit more and gave the undead a little kiss on the blue cheek.
"Well, everyone has a different way of saying 'I love you' I suppose."
Zombie snorted and reached out towards his left hand and caressed the soft carapace of the remnant monster with his palm.
"Shut up, master – don't read too much into my actions, I am a fickle insect - hmph."
George scoffed and laid back down satisfied with the reciprocated affection.
…
Without the amusing conversation partner like George, Zombie was left rather bored – Kopia and Monty stayed behind with Cranberry, same with Baron as he was rather easy to spot and this was supposed to be an incognito operation.
"..."
The blue undead breathed out and closed his eyes for a moment.
As an undead he was unable to fall asleep – or at least he was supposed to...
…
…...
Before the blue undead knew what was happening, he had found himself suspended in the seemingly endless darkness while his body was nothing more than the orb of violet light.
|What the hell...? How... how did I get in here...?|
He gasped in confusion, floating back because of the shock.
How did he get there?
How is he supposed to leave?
Those were all valid questions that the blue undead... well.. the violet orb had no answer to.
|Hey there, my rotten brain~|
|!!!|
Right as he was going to look around to check the other orbs to at least use the chance he had to confirm how many heirs have been chosen when an overwhelmingly familiar voice called out to him from behind – making him finch and float around.
|CRANBE..! Ah...|
The violet orb was already calling out in disbelief, expecting the apparition just like the one he saw before, but instead, he merely faced a white orb cheerfully bouncing around as if it was happy to see him.
|Did you miss me? You must have. Go on, tell me exactly how much did you miss me~|
The white orb orbiting around the violet orb giggled flirtatiously.
|...|
At first, Zombie sighed and shook a bit in disbelief, his first impulse was to not humor the sealed overseer that disappeared on her own and showed up whenever she felt like it, but honestly...
|For the matter of fact, Pati, I missed you more than you can imagine, you stupid idiot. Never leave me again.|
He did not fell to his initial urge and straight-up said what was on his mind with full honesty.
|...!|
For a split second, the white orb froze in place, as if shocked by what she heard, but the very next moment she charged right at the violet orb and snuggled up to him like a love-starved kitten.
|My rotten brain~ Ha ha~!|
The white orb let out a short bark-like laugh before floating away and bouncing up and down, both extremely happy and apparently slightly embarrassed of her own outburst of affection.
|How were you while I was gone – except helpless, lost, and hopelessly lonely?|
The white orb asked teasingly swirling around from excitement.
|Read my mind and see for yourself.|
The violet orb floated up and down in an attempt to recreate the motion of shrugging his shoulders, though that didn't work out quite as good as he hoped that it would.
|Haa? Are you telling me that you don't want to talk to me...?|
The white orb sounded exactly as if she was squinting her eyes dangerously, which honestly surprised Zombie quite a bit – it has been some time since the last time he talked with Patience and he honestly forgot how good she could... well... convey emoting with just her voice.
|Let's see...|
And honestly – he always liked their inner banters, so he didn't find it strange to comply with her demand.
|You remember the remnant of the god of luck Happy? It is my subject now, and its name is Monty. I've also made a deal with the queen. I kind of had no choice because, you know, I was kind of surrounded during the first kill party and all. Beside's that, I ranked up and am an undead squire – by the way, you told me that leveling up during this playthrough will be harder – but this is honestly ridiculous. I'm killing monsters whenever I have time and I'm barely level 5! I ranked up the monster-killing titles all the way to the bane of rank just to do that! And I had quests to help me!|
