Chapter 52: Finally, I Resigned
===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
The place where the siblings led me to was the slum district.
Here was their safe haven along with the other children, the place that protected them from the frightening monsters outside.
White Onii-chan, thank you very much for saving us before!
Don't mind it.
I was really surprised back then Can you forgive me for being afraid of you at that time?
Not, big deal.
Thanks goodness! I thought you'd hate us due to that incident!
I will not.
The little sister was having such a conversation with me.
Although she seemed to take a liking to me, my shy nature was truly unforgiving.
But then, I found out that even if the other party was female, as long as they were a kid below a certain age, I could have a proper conversation with them.
Objection wasn't an option.
Big bro, can you tell me where you came from?
There.
That direction, are you referring to Tana Kingdom?
I replied to the youth with a nod.
WOOOW. Does that mean the other kingdom has a lot of strong guys like you?
Maybe.
Yahoo, our communication was going very well.
The place they guided me to was a tattered house.
Nevertheless, it was still one of the better houses in a slum district, and the sibling said it was their home.
The inside of the house was quite small and filled with furniture which looked like they were picked up from somewhere.
White Onii-chan, you're the one who kept defeating the monsters in the city after that, right? Thanks to that it has become much easier for us to look for food.
It seemed they realized what I was doing in secret.
My eyes were swimming due to embarrassment.
The siblings then told me more about what was happening in this city.
The citizens of this city had already taken refuge from this city more than half a month ago due to this strange monster outbreak.
At that time, the only ones who got left behind were the extremely young children in the slum district and the siblings couldn't bear to leave them behind.
But it has become harder and harder to find food. If this incident isn't resolved soon, we'll eventually run out of food
As expected, it seemed I really had to find the reason behind this monster outbreak and resolve it.
D-Don't wo
As I was about to say "-rry, I'll do something about it"
A rather familiar woman entered the house.
What the? So you can talk after all.
??!!
It was that female holy knight.
Don't tell me she chased me all the way to this place?
I couldn't help but shudder in front of her terrifying tenacity.
The one who said those words was the necromancer that you defeated. And due to the situation at that time, his words spread like wildfire.
!!!
THAT BASTA*AAAAAAARD!
I-I had no intention to create something like that.
Then, what about those dragons?
The answer to that question was rather unbelievable.
I didn't know whether she'd choose to trust me or not after hearing that, but still, this was my best shot to explain the situation.
Yes, this was my only chance.
They just became my familiar on their own accord but I've no intention to turn them into my familiars
I see. Then, why did you move from one city to another, and one with residents on top of that? Do you know that your actions have caused an unprecedented international panic?
I-I'd no intention to scare them I just I just want a way to die
A way to die?
Yes I've no lingering attachment to this world Rather, I want to enter eternal sleep as soon as possible and yet, I don't know how to do that Until this point, I've confirmed that my body is too tough, and purification doesn't work either
The female holy knight in front of me should have already known about this since she also tried to use purification on me with her holy lance.
And yet, I came out unscathed.
Just, what should I do
Then how about you come to my country?
Eh?
I couldn't speak anything for a moment upon hearing that unexpected proposal.
Melt Ram Holy Country, the sacred place and the capital of the Saint Melt religion. My country might have a way to purify you.
R-Really?
O-Of course, I'm just talking about possibilities. But it's still better than wandering around without any lead It creates a lot of trouble and mass panic when you come to one place after another after all.
The female holy knight replied with a meek tone and continued on.
For us, the undead are abominable existences who violate the teaching of our god. That's why it's our job to purify them. On the other hand, you also want to be purified too. In a certain meaning, this can work for both of us.
Sure enough.
To be honest, taking an undead to our country is akin to a blemish to our faith, but there's really no choice in this case That's only if you're telling me the truth.
W-Why should I lie to you?! Really just want to pass on
Even though I was being honest with her, it might have seemed like a lie due to my stuttering words.
Well, nothing I could do about this abysmal communication power of mine.
Fine, I'll place my trust in you for the time being.
The female holy knight nodded upon hearing my reply.
A Are you sure?
After following you for so long, I at least know that you're not a bad undead. In addition, there's no need for you to lie when you have that much power.
T-Thank god.
With this, I might be able to take a giant leap closer to my goal.
But there's still something I have to do before that.
?
I want to know the cause of this monster parade and crush it. Will you help me?
