CH 62

“That’s why Brian asked the knights to accompany me, so I came to get Isabella with them.”

When I sat next to ursch-kun, who was driving the horse-drawn carriage, he told me what was going on. For the time being, I understand that Trevor-oniisama got involved.

It was Trevor-oniisama who doesn’t usually come back to the mansion and we don’t have many opportunities to meet, but he is a kind person who spoils me when I meet him. He’s always exhausted for some reason.

If anything, for Trevor-oniisama, who is a civil officer type and has no fighting power, the role of Alice-chan’s stopper may be a heavy burden. If we don’t rush quickly, Trevor-oniisama will collapse.

“By the way, Ursch-kun. Even though it’s late at night, the city looks much brighter from here, but. . . the city isn’t burning, is it?”

“Hmm. That’s right. It’s not a burning brightness. It doesn’t smell burnt.”

I stand on the platform to find the source of the light, and use [Clairvoyance] (formerly [Pride]) to see the state of the city.

“Ursch-kun. The disk-shaped lighting of the Schniever Company that I saw when I was playing tag is floating over the city. Is Ursch-kun’s company cooperating this time as well?”

“Hm? You mean the launch-type outdoor discharge light? I haven’t heard that the company will cooperate. The Knights bought some of those lights, so isn’t that it?”

I see, did the Knights launch an outdoor discharge light?

“No, why?”

By any chance, are you playing tag with the Alice-chan team VS. Knights team this time? If that’s the case, I would like the Knights to capture and protect Trevor-oniisama. If he accidentally gets involved in Alice-chan’s bombing magic, he will definitely die.

While thinking about such a thing, we approached the city, but I gradually realized that the state of the city was strange. The Knights sent instructions loudly to the residents while running around on warhorses. Fully armed, divided into groups, the knights, magicians, and adventurers were running around. Residents looked out anxiously through the second floor windows. All over the city, you could hear magic being activated, and you could see knights and adventurers wielding weapons and fighting.

The reason they are fighting is. . .

“”Please don’t leave the building!! Residents living in the buildings with two or more floors should move to the upper floors as much as possible, close the entrance of the room tightly, and if possible, please block the door with furniture!!””

“”If you live in a one story building or can’t move from the first floor, please close the entrance of the room tightly, cover the doors and windows with furniture, and stay away from the windows!!””

“”If you are outside, please evacuate into a building immediately or wait under the discharge light!! If you have shinto priest skills and have experience defeating undead monsters, please come forward when the military wagon on patrol passes by and ride a horse-drawn carriage or gather in the large square of the Royal Capital!!””

“”If you have been bitten or caught by the undead, or if you see someone who has, let the patrol guard know as soon as possible!! We will get those who can treat and purify to come right away!!””

For some reason, the undead were attacking the Royal Capital. It’s not the skeleton type, it’s the zombie type. Knights, magicians, and adventurers were fighting them. When did this world change from a maiden game to a biological disaster biohazard game?

When I stood on the platform and looked around at all the fuss, Ursch-kun pulled me and I sat down on the platform.

“Isabella, I’ll speed up the carriage a little.”

When he said that, Ursch-kun sped up the carriage and splashed the zombies.

That’s amazing, Ursch-kun!! You’re running the horse toward the zombies without any hesitation!! Rather than slowing down the carriage, we’re speeding up a lot and even the people who are fighting zombies are running away!!

No, wait!! Wait a minute!! I can’t keep up with the development at all!!

“Ugh, Ursch-kun!! Ursch-kun!! Why are there undead in the city in such a short period of time?”

“I don’t know!!”

Oh my god!! Ursch-kun doesn’t even know, how did this really happen!!

“This, Alice-chan and the others-”

“I don’t think Alice-sama and the others have anything to do with the outbreak of the undead, right?”

“No, I don’t think Alice-chan and the others are the cause either? That’s not the case, are they safe?”

Alice-chan and the others are talented for their age, and I feel like they won’t lose easily, but they don’t have enough experience like me. If they make a mistake and get seriously injured. . .

“Rather than that, I’m worried that Alice-sama might blow up the Royal Capital with the zombies.”

Ursch-kun’s words reminded me of Alice-chan’s title of [Mad Bomber]. Oh, I can see Alice-chan throwing bombing magic at the zombies as much as she wants.

“Oh, yeah. Your worries might be more serious. . .”

Trevor-oniisama and Chris-sama, I hope you’re not caught in the explosion. . . This time I didn’t give the ‘Anti-Death Amulet’ to Chris-sama, so if Alice-chan bombs everything as much as she wants and inadvertently bombs Chris-sama to death, he will die.

No, it’s natural to die if you die in an explosion, but I mean, he will be dead at the time of the explosion. I don’t know what I’m trying to say anymore. Ahhhhhh.

“Actually, I can’t help worrying that I have been able to hear a bombing magic sound in the distance for a while. . .”

I came back to myself when Ursch-kun told me this. If you listen carefully, you can hear an explosion sound that seems to be a little suppressed from the distance, hiding in the sounds of anger and the attack magic that can be heard from various places.

“This is probably Alice-chan’s mine-shaped bombing magic [Land Mine]. Alice-chan, you’re bombing modestly so far!!”

That’s amazing!! Is this the result of the queen’s education? Alice didn’t blow up a wide area unnecessarily!!

“For the time being, I’m going to drive the carriage in the direction of the bombing sound, so I wonder if Isabella can cast a purification spell along the way?”

“Oh, that’s right!! I forgot. I have holy attribute magic and priest skills, so I can cleanse it.”

Attack magic is too powerful and cannot be used, but healing magic and purification magic won’t be a problem even if the power is strong.

Isn’t it enough if I purify entirely to the outer wall of the Royal Capital? No, I’ll check with Ursch-kun just in case.

“Ursch-kun. Is it okay to purify everything within the entire exterior wall of the Royal Capital all at once?”

“Then Isabella will be worshipped as a goddess or something, and she won’t be my bride sense I only have the status of a merchant, but. . . I don’t like it. You don’t have to purify after all.”

Alright!! Let’s not purify the entire Royal Capital. I don’t want to be a goddess or an ally of justice.

I want to be Ursch-kun’s wife.

There are knights and adventurers, so I don’t have to go out and tie up my life. I’m not a saint, so I’ll pursue my own happiness.

“Ursch-kun. I’ll lower my power with all my heart and soul so that I can purify it moderately. . .”

“. . . . Yeah. The things you put your whole body and soul into is the opposite of normal, but please do that.”

Then, including my previous life, I showed an unprecedented concentration, and activated it by suppressing the purification power and range to the limit.

Oh!! Oh!! I can do it if I try!! Hey!! Look!! The effect range of the purification magic is reduced to about 30 meters in diameter!!

. . . . It’s still big!!

“Isabella. . . . It’s also important to drop the range, but don’t you want to lower it’s power? The moment the purification magic light touches, the undead disappear instantly without any dust, and everyone is having trouble deciding whether it disappeared or instantaneously moved.”

Yes, as Ursch-kun pointed out, the scope of effect is somehow narrow (?) It’s done, but the power still seems to be strong. . .

The moment the undead touches the light of purification, it disappears.

Did it metastasize? Did it move instantaneously? It’s like that. It really disappears without leaving any dust. The knights and adventurers who were fighting the undead said, “Eh?!” The undead stopped moving for a moment and disappeared so fast that you look twice. It’s easy to understand if it burns while screaming a death rattle, or it turns into ashes and collapses, but it disappears quickly. It’s a shame!!

What is this. . .

I don’t feel like I’m defeating the undead, and it still feels cloudy. . .

“Ursch-kun, I. . . . Do they think I’m a goddess?”

“Hmm. It’s more like a mysterious phenomenon than a miracle work on purpose. . . Isn’t it okay? Oh, the bombing sound is coming closer, isn’t it?”

Ursch-kun told me to stop the purification and look forward, and I saw the brilliance of Alice-chan’s nostalgic bombing magic.

Isabella and Ursch really only care about being able to marry each other. Isabella could have fixed the undead problem in seconds but then she might not be able to marry Ursch. I feel like they would get more done and help more people if they were already married. Is that just my imagination?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
