「Damn… You’re good… !」

「Eh! ? I haven’t done anything yet! ?」

「I’ve been hit, too… !」

「W-What! ?」         

「I guess I’ll just have to go here!」

Everyone but me looks as if they’ve been attacked by something… What could have done this to them… ?

――Hyun! !

――Kiin! !

「You’ll die fast if you stay in a daze, you know?」

Oh, no. He’s coming for us. I have to focus… !

「I’m not like the rest of them, you know?」

He then attacked us with his two swords.

――Kyiinkkin! Kikikikikin! ! !

――Dogooon! ! Dogooon! ! ! Bachi! !

「… Fu! ! Ah! !」

「《Earthlance》 ! !」

「You’re not going to hit me!」

―Kyiin! ! 

―Dogoooon! ! 

My attack is repelled by one of the swords, and Suzu’s attack is avoided.

I sense that the undead in the area are also approaching, responding to the noise.

「This is a bad situation… Then… Here… What about this! ! 《Spirit Blade》! !」

「Eh! ?」

「Wha! ?」

I raise my sword in front of me and chant the name of my skill.

A circle with some kind of pattern is spread out in front of me. A woman with black hair and eyes came out of it.

Suzu and the leader reacted loudly. The others seemed to be surprised as well.

『… Let me help you』

「Thank you very much! !」

『It’s okay… This is my way of thanking you for saving my daughter』

「Eh… ?」

With that, she vanished as if she had been sucked into the sword.

Are you by any chance that girl’s mother… ?

What a good mother and daughter relationship…

I’ll do my best too.

《Spirit Blade activated―――You have temporarily gained the ability to use the 《Undead》》

「Amazing… !」

This was the ability of the mother, wasn’t it! ?

Let’s try it!

「… Come!」

「What?」

「You are cute, but…」

「U gu… ! !」

I just told him to come over, so why did he look at me like I was some kind of strange kid! ?

No, but I thought so too…

――Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo…

「U waa! ?」

「W-What! ?」

「Hey! What did you do! ?」

「Why is there an earthquake! ?」

「Hey! Aya! ? What did you do! ?」

「I just…」

――Bokobbokobogobokobokoboko…

The ground shook, and skeletons and rotting corpses crawled out of the ground.

I think the rotting corpse was called “Zombie”. I had seen Suzu doing something called “FPS”? I’d seen Suzu do something like that. I think it was called “Zombie Mode”?

The skeletons and zombies that had crawled out gathered near me and knelt down.

「Eh? Eh?」

「…What… the … ?」

「Ah? Eh?」

「… ?」

Everyone doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on, but it doesn’t bother me.

「Etto, etto! Take down everyone but the light blue haired girl! !」

「「「「「Ehh! ?」」」」」

When I gave the order, the skeletons and zombies attacked the men slowly, making noises.

「Uwaaa! ! !」

「Gofu! ?」

「Aga! !」

Each one of them are weak, but there are so many of them. For every one enemy, there are twenty of them. Even if you prevented one attack, the next one would come, and the next.

With such a wave of attacks, the opponents are helplessly reduced to light.

But of course, there are exceptions…

「Fu! Fu! ! Fu!」

The leader of the group exhales a small breath and cuts down the skeletons and zombies with a single blow.

… The numbers are getting low――

――Dosudosudosudosudosudosu… ! ! !

「「「! ?」」」

A dull sound was approaching us with a thud.

――Dosudosudosudosudosudosudosudosudosu! ! ! ! ! !

――Gasagasagasagasa……

――Dosun! Dosun! Dosun! ! !

Looking down at us is something in the shape of a beast with a lot of hands growing out of it. Although it is shaped like a beast, all of its parts are human. The legs of the beast are supplemented by hands, and there are 12 of them! … 12!

「Take him down!」

I assume that the same is true for the deformed undead that I’ve defeated before, so I give them an order.

『Шϖё#●▲Э〆Шღϖ■٩ ! ! !』

「What?」

「I don’t know…」

The beast-shaped deformed undead looked at the leader and shouted in an unfamiliar language… Maybe it’s affirmation.

Now there are 3 people and 1 beast here? Suzu and I decided to observe at the edge so as not to get in the way.

Eh? Results?

… It was a little gross, so Suzu had to cover her eyes…

The beast took advantage of his many hands to grab the leader and tear him apart….

Author’s Notes:

The effect of the 《Spirit Sword》 is to 『summon the spirit of a person with ties to the area and place it in the sword. Then, a portion of the spirit’s ability can be used while the sword is held』.  The spirits that appear are random, and the abilities you get are completely random, whether they are skills or status upgrades… Well, this time the girl’s mother came out by chance, and got the effect of using the Undead…
