5 Five. The prince will cut his head off.

This is not a normal job.

The town was destroyed overnight.

There are over 100 survivors. I settled in a narrow, collapsing monastery.

Children, the elderly, and children put their hands together to pray.

The men were helping me carry the body from the cemetery.

The chief, the village representative, approached me as soon as I settled down.

"Thank you for your help. Your Highness."

I was embarrassed for me.What do you mean, the whole town was destroyed before the Holy Water was distributed? Thanks to you, we have a lot of work to do.

“Isn't there a paladin in town? ”

“I found the paladin after the incident, but the whereabouts were not clear. ”

“What did the Supreme Court say? ”

I was betrayed, but this is where the Crown Prince is first.

A zombie wave explodes in the paladin's yard when the prince strikes.

At least they'll send a knight.

“Well, it · · · ·. I tried to send someone. ”

“You did?”

“I think I was bitten by a zombie on the way. ”

“... ”

“There were zombies on every road to nearby Lonia. I lost contact at a nearby post · · · ”

Zombies of the world, what a world!

The paladin, the Watcher in town, is missing, and now you're blocking the road?

Are you using your head?

Scarier than the marathon runners in the movie.

Is there a guy in charge with his head?

“How many zombies? ”

“Well, that's about 30. That's when we ran away. ”

There were four villages in the monastery village.

Since we visited an extinct village yesterday, the remaining three villages disappeared overnight.

About 30, maybe 10 in a village?

Or maybe they just raided the town while gathering.

Zombie Lair is not a running zombie. There's nothing to be afraid of.

One bite doesn't make you a zombie.

“So?”

“Emperor, I want you to contact the Imperial Palace. ”

“You said you lost your way. ”

“Why don't you say grace? ”

Oh, that's a good idea.

I had no idea that prayer was connected to the Imperial Palace, not the connection to God!

Yeah, let's send my telepathy!

Come in, Holy Father!

... can't be done.

“I'm sorry, I can't lose my Wi-Fi. ”

“...? ”

The chief tilted his head. I didn't seem to understand what I was saying.

“I can't reach you. Oh, what do we do? We're completely isolated. We're all gonna die! ”

He shrouds his head and shouts. The villagers look pale.

They were all desperate, their legs relaxed or crying.

I was joking to clear the air, but it got heavier.

The villagers will be desperate.

They may die of plague or zombies.

Even if I'm a superstitious person, it's dangerous if zombies keep coming.

Even if I survive, if I am the only one left on the verdict of death for all the villagers, it will seem strange to him too.

Neither the villagers nor I were in a good place.

“I can't help you no matter what. ”

I can help. However, the continuing good intentions can be taken for granted.

That's the problem.

As a result of this incident, the villagers are more likely to expect me to ask for something.

Rather, it is better to ask from the inside.

I nodded and said.

“Fine. I'll help you defeat my zombies. ”

I live, the villagers live. It's nice and nice, isn't it?

The two farmers I was with last night smiled brightly. On the contrary, the remaining men are gloomy.

The reaction is not cool.

Who am I? The grandson of the Holy Father! ', I will not be persuasive even if I shout aloud at my heart.

Well, he's a damn prince.

I seized the servant and sexually molested the servant, believing only in the background. Who would trust a man who tried to rob a maid?

The villagers hesitated and opened their mouths, whether they were holding straws or not.

“Then please. ”

They will have no choice but to believe in one priest and follow him.

That's arrogant. Maybe I'll feed it to the zombies.

But it doesn't matter if I don't do it myself.

“On one condition. ”

“What if it's a condition? ”

“I need money these days. ”

“How much? ”

“I want you to give me everything you've got. Oh, and pay me back. It's weird to do free service all the time. Don't you think? You have to make a fool of yourself. ”

“... I understand. ”

"Don't talk to the paladin later. If you deceive the Holy Father's grandson, you will never be safe."

The villagers groaned and gathered fairy tales, silver coins, and other items that could be worth a fortune.

General Goods Vendors sometimes come into a nearby town once a month, so it would be a good use to decorate this monastery.

I gave up on him anyway. This is a place that may live for a lifetime. Don't you think you should have proper furniture?

“Another thing. ”

I pointed to an old monastery.

“I need you to do some repairs for the monastery. ”

“Yes? But · · · · ·. ”

The chief looked at the monastery. It was old but spacious enough for 100 villagers to enter.

Construction alone costs a lot.

The chief nods at the thought.

“Okay, as long as it takes. ”

“And provide supplies free of charge periodically. ”

“I'll do it as long as I can. ”

Great! This solves all your problems.

The monastery has been suffering for a while because of the rain.

Besides, the only food that comes out of the cemetery is potatoes and vegetables.

Now that I have some meat and winter, I don't need to go chopping firewood every day, so I can be rewarded with all my heart.

“Woe, the Crown Prince! Your Highness!”

One of the men rushed in while talking to the chief.

He shouts with a pale face.

“Joe, the zombies are coming! ”

Are we going to go after the living without having to go?

I'm glad I didn't find it and purify it myself.

“Great! Grab your gear. ”

The chief and the villagers tilted their heads.

“What's that look? You want me to solve it?”

“Yes, but why · · · ·. ”

Why did you say the cruel word "extension" to us?, the chief who spills his tail.

“Of course you are. ”

Isn't that obvious?

My job is four things.

One is the Crown Prince of the Holy See.

The other one is a cemetery.

The other is formally a priest.

And finally, the Necromancer.

It's not like they're all pairs on the front lines.

I'm a Necromancer.

I'm going to look behind my back like a cowardly and shady professional.

“You're gonna have to hunt zombies from now on. ”

“...! ”

“Don't worry. Biting a zombie doesn't make you a zombie. It's just a little sore, and I've had a fever for a few days. Don't worry, I'll break your heart when I see it. ”

The chief smiled, sweating coldly.

“Woe, the Crown Prince. Too much joke.You helped earlier · · ·. ”

I smiled at the chief.

“You're joking because you laugh, right? ”

“... ”

“Think about it. The prince who grew up in the greenhouse wants to kill zombies himself? That's not true, but you're right. I'll direct them myself. He's the Crown Prince. I will go to the front for my people! ”

Son of a bitch! He is a blatantly expressive chief.

Or not.

I smiled so badly at the chief's eyes.

* *

The strong men gathered in front of the monastery's courtyard.

About 50.

Each of them had a farm tool, a lumbering axe, a saw, or a hunting bow.

Everyone looks pretty stout doing things like farmers, woodcutters, and hunters.

Excellent. Running away with a weapon in such an urgent situation.

People on this side of the world have an extraordinary survival instinct.

“Oh, and the equipment from the monastery, don't break it. If you can't use it, I'll make you pay. ”

The villagers look bored.

I nod with a satisfied face, ignoring them.

“Good. That should do it. Zombies are slower than beasts, so it's no problem. ”

Even if you have a beast type, it doesn't matter because it's less aggressive than a human zombie.

“Let's all take it slow. Safety first, so don't be too nervous about zombie hunting. If it's hard, help each other. · · · No one gets hurt if you don't work hard. ”

I turned my eyes away.

A dark magic and stench hovers over the hillside.

It's the stench of death.

Hundreds of zombies are swarming in.

“... Chief. ”

“Yes, yes? ”

“You said you were in town about 30. ”

“It · · · · ·. And that's what we saw. ”

I have a forehead.

“Since four, or one, have been wiped out, what is the total population of the three villages? ”

“There are over 200 big villages and 100 to 50 other villages. There are over 300 of them. ”

“I've seen 100 of them here, 30 of them turned into zombies. What about the rest?”

“Well, I don't know. Everyone was running so fast. ”

Some of the escaped survivors have been hunted.

They may have rolled in from the `Land of Command`.

It's called the Undead's Paradise.

So, what, you can't get away with it, combining them into zombies over 100 base pieces and hunting them all down?

What the fuck is going on?

"Is there any other way to deal with zombies?"

"Nothing."

"They're coming in droves like this?"

The chief wiped his cold sweat and said.

"There's hardly anything like this. Even if there are zombies, it's what hunters, cemeteries, or priests do. Some people carry corpses separately, and usually wait until the Lord dispatches soldiers if something like this happens."

I made a miserable face.

“Why are there more jobs? By the way, I don't suppose I'm going to pay for the blasphemy of the old body? ”

I said it as a joke, but when I thought about it, it made me feel bad.

I think it might be true.

You cannot think there is no God in the enchanted courtyard.

I don't believe in God, but if I did, I wouldn't let a believer insult himself.

“Son of a bitch! ”

I've got a head.

The blasphemy committed by this body was formidable.

If you pay for it, you will suffer for a while.

“Ah, Gaia, goddess of love and mercy! ”

When I opened my mouth, the chief and the men looked at me.

Is it because we pray to God? They look like they've seen it again.

I'm sure a priest who uses his sacred power will be trustworthy in front of the Undead.

But I refreshed their expectations.

“Fuck love and mercy! If you give me this kind of trial for insulting me, I'll give you a lot of insults. You salty goddess!"
