Chapter 77: The Mighty 'C' Has Appeared
It had been a while since we finished our meal.
Although I felt like my stomach was stuffed chock-full of food after we ate, that feeling vanished in a few seconds.
Did it get digested properly?
And yet, I'm not feeling completely empty Maybe every food that I ate was completely digested and turned into energy, that's why there's no need for me to excrete either.
Well, this abnormal body of mine had never failed to surprise me.
Or at least, this ability wasn't surprising at all.
Currently, the female Holy Knight was using the shower provided in our room.
Incidentally, the place to wash your body was called a shower room.
Moreover, they provided hot water for free too.
I thought that it was a service only available in high class inns, but it seemed to be available in any normal inn nowadays.
That kind of service would have been truly unimaginable during the era where I lived.
In that era, we washed our bodies with well water.
Only filthy rich people could have a personal bathroom in their private room. Normal guests usually huddled together in one big room.
I kept hearing the sound of water pouring down from the shower room.
S-So nervous.
I mean, wasn't she way too defenseless to bathe when there was a guy in the room?
But well, maybe she can act like that since she knows that I won't assault her due to my shy personality.
Or else, she simply didn't recognize me as a man since I was an undead.
Thus, she had no aversion to sleep in the same room as me.
===A Certain Female Holy Knight===
A-As I thought, we really should sleep in different rooms
I muttered this while enjoying the shower. Now that I snapped out of it, I was starting to regret my hasty decision.
I mean, he might be an undead, but still, sleeping in the same room with a man whose appearance was close to my age was simply too much.
I mean, my heart was beating really fast now.
Although he probably didn't have the courage to barge in when I taking a shower, I couldn't get rid of the anxiety in my ch*est as I wondered whether he peeked into the bathroom or not.
Normally speaking, I would kick him out of the room, but I decided that we'd have to stay in the same room since he couldn't speak properly due to his communication disorder.
In short, almost all of this is your fault
I had to always be on guard since he could go somewhere on his own when I woke up tomorrow.
My mind was filled with a feeling akin to impatience whenever I recalled what he did some time ago.
Well, at least he left a letter for me.
Surely, he did leave a letter for me, but that was something that he should have tell me properly in person.
Why did he use a letter instead?
HEEEEEELP!
?!
She leapt toward me.
Her sweet smell and droplets of water on her soft and tender body assailed my nose.
~?!
I was the one who wanted to scream here.
Although I managed to brace my will, being of a similar age and without a girlfriend, I was perplexed, unable to decide what I had to do in this kind of situation.
The female Holy Knight raised her face, looking into my face with tears overflowing from her eyes.
If my heart was still beating, it would surely be thumping really loudly right now.
C-c-c
C?
THE MIGHTY "C" IS COMING OUT!!!
EH?
It was almost like she spoke in a language that I couldn't understand.
C are you referring to that black, shiny thing?
THAT'S "C"! T-THE THING I HATE THE MOST!
It seemed the reason she leapt out from the shower room naked was because of the advent of "C."
O-Okay, I understand but, uhm Can you let go off me first?
?!
Maybe because she finally recalled her current unlady-like state, the female Holy Knight's already flushed red face became even redder.
The soft, tender feeling on my skin left as I averted my gaze. My face was twitching nonstop due to the situation that happened this time.
When I looked at her again, the female Holy Knight was already sitting in one corner of the room, covered from head to toe with a blanket.
I could hear her groaning nonstop from inside the blanket.
W-Well, I guess I'll deal with that C first
I entered the shower room where she saw the C.
And I found that guy immediately.
Honestly speaking, C wasn't a big deal for a country hick like me.
I caught it with my bare hand and threw it out of the room from the window.
I've already taken care oftit.
T-To be able to deal with C with your bare hand As expected of an undead
Why did she look so deeply impressed by such a trivial matter?
I mean, it wasn't just when I had already turned into undead, they were no big deal even when I was still a human.
T-The others! What about its allies? Please find them quickly! When one comes out, there might be a hundred more hidden. They're such terrifying bugs!
Thus the female Holy Knight made me search the entire room till she was sure that there were no other Cs in our room.
