Chapter 84 – Zombie Parade

It was sunset time.

As always, when I returned to the city, I felt tired because the sky was orange. Orange is the color that symbolizes tiredness. It felt like my eyes would close because of the unique warm air.

However, the city was overflowing with energy with lanterns lit everywhere due to the heat of the festival.

Priests touting guests and nuns singing hymns. And even topless muscular paladins who show off their strength on the spot. Various religious officials put firewood endlessly in the heat of the city.

“Since Sister Blaret is waiting for me, I think I should go back now. Thanks to the saints, it was a godly day, so I’m just grateful.”

Elise stopped and greeted with a smile. She decided not to think about being able to laugh like that even after her armor her was drenched in the black blood of the undead. She’s an act. Anyway, if you’re happy with it, that’s it.

“With something like that.”
“I’ll see you next time.”
“Yes. Say hello to my sister.”
“…Uh, are you talking about sister?”

When she mentioned her older sister her with the intention of teasing her, Elise’s face instantly turned red.

“I’m kidding. Goodbye.”
“…Then goodbye.”

She went away
It was embarrassing to disappear with quick steps.

“Huh.”

After I finished greeting her, Cloudy put her arm around my waist and spoke in a seductive voice.

“Shall we go back to the room?”
“Uh… Let’s look around for a while and then go in.”

It was better to go in after midnight if possible.

After all, if I went in now, it was certain that I would fall asleep before midnight. So I had to go in as late as possible because my stamina was not left. No matter what, bedtime is pretty much fixed.

She was a mixed race dark elf, so she was like a wild horse running wild. She has to drag the time out to speed up the regular.

“Yes, I guess.”

I looked around the city with Cloudy under the lighting of the sunset sky. The fragrant smell wafts from the stalls of all religious people. I saw that they were selling wine and grilled skewers for talents. It looked so fucking delicious that my mouth was watering.

“I am hungry.”

However, relatively privately run stores did not seem to do much business. As such, if there were people who enjoyed the festival, there were people who, on the contrary, were hidden in the shadows. Private stores gave off a dark atmosphere in contrast to the bright atmosphere of the city.

She had to save her talent her, so she went to a stall run by a civilian and bought a new meat skewer with cash.

The owner, Mr.

Well, I have nothing to say other than sorry.
Isn’t there a law that happens when you live in the world.

“Thank you.”

I handed one of her skewers to Cloudy, munched on it, and walked back.

“The seeds are not ripe.”

When I chewed the two pieces of meat at the same time, they were undercooked.
There must have been a reason it didn’t work. This fucking guy

“I like the less ripe one better?”
“Really? Actually, I like that part more. This is delicious.”
“Whoa, what is it?”

For now, I decided to go to the Salvation Church of Heaven because there is a product that I am also targeting.

The Church of Salvation Heaven, which serves Sertoga, the god of light, also sponsors the festival, so they are offering sacred weapons as prizes.

There were a few things I noticed among them. I needed to check because I was nervous that someone would take it. If it sells, I think I’ll lose my motivation.

“Welcome, pilgrims!”
“The God of Light is watching over you!”
“The exchange of undead supply and demand is here!”

Even though it was close to night, the tension of the priests seemed very high.

Clearly they were filming overtime, there was a happy smile on their faces that came from the depths of their hearts. They too are truly enjoying the festivities. In a different way than we do.

Those enthusiastic faces were like those of fanatics who had no doubt that a better world would come by truly slaughtering the undead. The passion is so hot that it feels like it’s about to burn.

I’m going to have to take a quick look.
Because she was congested, she led her to Cloudy’s, holding her hand tight.
And I screamed in a fit.

“Because you are my woman! Because you are my woman!”
“Ka, Kat?”
“I’ll call you you!”
“S-Stop it! Everyone’s staring at you!”

I deliberately sang the song loudly to get people out of the way. As expected, the congested road was opened like a miracle of Moses. She lowered her head, grabbed Cloudy’s hand her and dragged her across it.

“Hmm, but it’s complicated.”
“Ugh… Don’t do anything weird.”
“What’s weird? You’re calling the expression of affection strange now?”
“Oh, no! No, so please don’t sing!”
“I saw it once.”

The church parade ground was also crowded. However, all the shelves were neatly organized, so it was very convenient to check the products. From simple consumables to equipment items. Accessories, as well as all sorts of sundries, are lined up beautifully.

All of them were coveted items that made my brain salivate.

“Sacred leather gloves with Sertoga’s pattern are worth 20 talents!”
“How do you like the wine?”
“This is an opportunity to get the Crusader’s Ax for 40 talents!”
“We’ll give you 5 talents when you register a new member~. Please, anyone come~.”

Nuns and priests were chowing down on all kinds of goods.

From that appearance, I felt the warmth of hometown people trying to feed kimchi to foreigners. Bastards, I feel like wrapping kimchi in a talent and eating it.

“Ah, Shiva. Is it sold? Is it sold?”

Personally, what I lacked was leg armor, so here I was aiming for the [Sacred Greaves filled with the first morning sunlight of the Salvation Heavenly Assembly].

It was an item worth a whopping 120 talents, but a greave that looked cool and practical was a coveted item. That was my goal It hurt my bones to waste my talent by buying a bottle of holy water in the middle.

“Oh, there is!”

Grieve was alive and well. It was displayed in a high place, showing off its splendid appearance. It’s a big price, so no one seems to have taken it yet. Good night. I prayed that no one would buy it like this.

“Hmm, this knife looks good.”

Cloudy was also looking around. The kind of cutlery seemed to interest her. It was a uniquely shaped saber with sacred patterns embossed on the cuphilt. The price… Let’s not talk. Expensive.

“There, there’s a tall one!”

Then someone called the tall man. Speaking of tall people, I was the only one, so I looked around. Then a nun appeared.

“Yes? Me?”
“Yes! Come here!”

The nun met my gaze and waved her hand saying I was right.
I approached it

“You’re interested in jewelry, right?”

Looking at it, it seemed that he was in charge of the ornaments. Various necklaces and rings were lined up on the seat of his. Something like a bracelet had a religious pattern on it, so it looked pretty good.

However, I’m going to reveal the setting now, but I wasn’t very attracted to it because I was a Buddhist.

“Hey, how about this ring?”
“You mean the ring?”
“Yes! Rings! These two are a pair, and if you give it to your sweetheart, it’s a treasure that is guaranteed to last a hundred years! We offer this rare opportunity for only 40 talents!”

Back in the 100 years, it would have been a common joke for merchants, but the silver ring looked pretty in its own way even to me. If you give it to me, will Cloudy like it? Since she wears a lot of earrings, she will also like rings. If you have 40 talents, there is nothing you can’t buy.

Of course not right now. He had only 20 talents.

“That’s a good story, but right now I’m a little lacking in talent.”
“Oh, I see.”

After saying that, the nun, who instantly became cold, called another guest.
No, this year?

“Cloudy, slowly…”
“Hey! Hey!”

As I was about to go back, a muscular middle-aged man suddenly stopped me. A ceremonial longsword used in the church was hanging from his waist his, and he looked like a paladin.

“You’re in great shape!”
“Uh…Yes?”

The middle-aged man’s face reddened as he said that. What is it, a normal muscle drunk?

“He’s even taller! He’s a man with a strong body!”

In a very lively voice, he suddenly held out to me a booklet detailing a naked, muscular man. Looking at the title, it said [A booklet containing essential educational contents about the training of the holy body for religious paladins – by St. Carlson Cradet Cuthbert].

What is this crazy book

“Are you interested in how to train a paladin? Right now, I’ll give you a paladin training booklet for just five talents!”

I’m not interested, this chewy cub.

“I am not interested.”
“Don’t do that, darling! You have a great skeleton!”
“No, I don’t have any talents.”
“Then why did you come here!”
“Let’s see what they sell.”
“They’re selling a booklet containing this training method!”

This bastard seemed insane.

“No, no damn need.”
“Don’t do that, sleep!”
“Hey, Cloudy!”

He made a scary expression and grabbed me by the shoulder, so I had no choice but to look for Cloudy while freaking out.

“Huh? Are you going now?”
“Let’s hurry!”

Grabbing her hand her, I ran out of the Salvation Heavenly Church as if I were running away. Sleep in the back! You! It seemed as if he could hear the cry of a monster with a tradition of turning into a stone when he looked back, but he ignored it with superhuman endurance.

“Heo Eok! Heo Eok! I almost got into trouble!”
“What, what happened?”
“The muscular man has been fucking me!”
“…”
“Let’s eat before we go in. Let’s go in. One skewer won’t fill your stomach.”
“Oh, is that so?”

What do I want to eat? I didn’t ask. It’s because lately she has been forcing me to eat stamina food. When I came to my senses, she was eating only those menus. Let’s eat it with soup normally today.

“Go get some soup.”

Such foods tended to cost a little more, so we had to compromise with the soup. I didn’t know that I would lose my fortune by eating, but it’s easy to disgrace my family if I keep going like this.

After dinner, the sky turned black. However, it was not dark because the street lamps were on. In that atmosphere, Cloudy came to me with a pod.

“Can we go in and rest now?”
“…”

Can you rest
Rather, it was the beginning of the work.
I mean, it’s a night job.

It was time to head towards the dorm in a friendly atmosphere.

“Hey, Barbarian Shack!”

Copson crawled out from the other side of the darkness.
No, it really crawled out.

Suppressing the urge to fall into surprise, I rubbed my eyes and looked again to see that they were really crawling.

“Would you mind lifting me up?”
“Ninini nini what are you, you bastard! What kind of bastards did you come here after being beaten up!”

For a moment, it seemed that the bastard had been beaten so badly that she panicked and pulled him up.

“Calm down, barbarian. After drinking a little too much, the world turns around.”
“Ah.”

He was drunk. Judging by his appearance of him, he seemed to have been drinking all day today. Copson was a big drinker and a heavy drinker, pouring all his money into a lot of liquor.

Hehe, I used up all my talents. What do you think? Shall we start purifying the undead tomorrow?”
“Can you wake up tomorrow?”
“What do you see me as? Even if I look like this, I’m a farmer’s child. A hangover is nothing.”

I don’t know what a farmer’s son had to do with a hangover, but at least I could tell he was very drunk. This kid probably doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.

Anyway, where should I take this bastard… Seeing him crawling, I’d rather help him out…

“Ok!”

Then Cloudy poked my lower back with her finger.
She, with a very dissatisfied look on her face, was saying ‘Let’s go’ with her mouth without making a sound.

If so, I’ll have no choice but to leave it.

“Hey, then see you tomorrow. Come out in front of the castle gate in the morning.”
“I will definitely go. Ugh, by the way, won’t you take me to the inn… Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?”

Cloudy dragged me all the way to the inn like a lioness feeding.
