Chapter 96 – Zombie Parade

A search around the area did not find any clues. All I had met so far was the three zombie brothers from before. We made our way to the depths of the forest without much gain. Time passed.

“It’s getting dark. Hey, are you going to continue?”

Cloudy stopped the party. The day is drawing to a close. It doesn’t matter much because he was preparing for homelessness, but it seems impossible to search further. In order to sleep, I had to get ready before the sun went down.

“I see. It would be better to make a bed soon.”

Having said that, our special forces sister Elise began to look around.
It was a gesture that seemed to be looking for a good spot.

To be honest, Cloudy was a sucker for survival in the mountains, and Copson was just Copson. Here, it is best to follow Elise’s words to her. At the word that she was making a bed, Copson began to pick up suitable wood. I also picked up branches after him.

“This place is not very good. Please follow me.
“Ohhh. You’re reliable.”

Following Elise, a flat terrain appeared that seemed to be okay at a glance. It seemed that there would be no problem in doing a biking for a day, even if only the branches were broken and a little bit of care was taken.

Have you been through this place? When she asks, she says that she saw him coming from afar. Anyway, I gathered the kindling sticks I was carrying with Copson in one place.

“Claudy, take care. I need a lot of things to sleep in the mountains.”
“…I’m familiar with the desert.”

It will be a good experience for her too.

Copson got ready to start a campfire, and I gathered some large leaves and the like with Cloudy.

Elise started to build a wall using appropriately sized rocks and twigs. Frightened by her appearance her, I entrusted her leaf gathering to her Claudy and hurried over to help her.

You shouldn’t do alone what is difficult between colleagues.

“Ah, thank you. But I can do it alone…”
“It’s faster with two people.”
“All right.”

We put up the walls moderately and made the roof albeit clumsily. Anything can be done with just stones and wood. There was an abundance of materials around, so the work was finished quickly. Finally, the roof and floor were covered with leaves. In doing so, there was enough space for four people to lie down.

Having completed the bonfire, Copson lit it.

Surprisingly, he found four flat stones and placed them around the campfire like a chair. It was very sensible. He said, elated as I was admiring it.

“The sun has gone down. Let’s sit down. We can eat and sleep.”

The fire was lit and the sky went dark. It was a perfect night. We sat around a campfire. As the sun went down, the temperature began to drop rapidly, and the warmth of the fire felt quite good.

“You made it better than I thought. Great.”
“It’s nothing special. I’m just used to it.”

Elise and Cloudy started chatting. From what I can see, I made a good bed. The experience in the military must have been useful. In this part, there is a part in common with Elise.

All of this is the result of countless outdoor training sessions. I miss my days in the military. It must have been a few years ago, but the military was better than the other world.

“Copson, do you have any beef jerky?”
“No.”

Like Copson, I took out the dry rice and heated it over the fire. This familiar taste. Yes. This is my stock This taste is so chewy that you have to eat it with water.

Things have gotten so much better lately that I forgot about this. This is the true taste of my hometown.

“By the way, there are too few undead. If we keep going like this, the festival will be over before next week.”
“I think so too.
“Is there a product you’re aiming for?”
“I’m aiming for one greave, but I don’t think I’ll be able to see it if I go on like this.”
Hehe, so why didn’t you just enjoy it like I did?”

Copson abruptly unbuttoned and began showing off his T-shirt.
I Love Brass Angel Society T-shirt.

“This T-shirt. I like it. Well, isn’t festivals something to enjoy? It’s a rare opportunity. Getting good equipment is good, but having good memories is also important. Isn’t it a world full of pain? If There’s nothing to enjoy, I can’t live.”

I started to say something sensible, probably in the mood, but looking at the ridiculous T-shirt, I just looked stupid.

“That’s so damn good, you bastard. What about the poster?”
“I hung it in my dorm. I always look at it before bed and every morning when I wake up. It made me feel good. At this point, I also thought about joining a religion.”
“I’m out of my mind.”
“What’s crazy? Aren’t the nuns nice? One of the strengths of the church…”

While I was in the middle of peeling the nogari with Copson, Elise suddenly broke in.

“Even if you don’t have to be a nun, having a religion has many advantages.”
“Uh?”

For some reason, Elise continued, taking out the scriptures hung on her waist.

“So is Mr. Copson. Why don’t you join the Gwangmyeong Holy Cross at this time? We are always recruiting not only ordinary believers, but also church members, so if you are interested, I will write a letter of recommendation for you Although she is a low-ranking nun, she can pass the letter of recommendation to a high-ranking pastor.”

I exchanged glances with Copson. Coming from Krasheim, he and I knew very well how tyrannical and terrifying the Church of the Light and Star Cross was. Those bastards of the Church Crusaders are pure thugs.

Elise opened the scriptures. It seemed clear to me that he was going to explain some doctrine or something difficult to hear. Then it was certain that it would be fucked, so we hurriedly changed the subject.

“Ah, ahaha! If you’re interested, I’ll be sure to ask, Sister Elise!”
“I’ll keep it positive. If you’re interested in the doctrine…”
“I-wouldn’t you like to set a night watch for now?!”
“Are you talking about vigil? Certainly, there are undead who have no presence, so it seems necessary to take turns standing one by one.”

Copson kept his voice even in the midst of embarrassment.
In a way, that was also a talent.

There is a saying that no matter who it is, there is at least one thing that people are good at, but Copson is probably the best at voicing his voice in front of women. Well, it was wonderful to change the subject to the vigil.

I turned my head.

“Cloudy, are you hungry?”

Her purple hair seemed to glow from the flames of the campfire. I’m talking and she has come to lean her head on my shoulder.

“Aang.”
“What?”
“Feed me.”

What the hell is this older sister… Taking off her gauntlet, I cut her dry weight into small pieces and put them in her mouth. Cloudy felt sick. The time when the sky was completely dark, because it was generally the time we reached our room.

I was spending time in moderation like that, so the night got late.

As I warmed my body by the campfire in the cold temperature, I naturally started to get tired. It’s time to go to bed soon When I wake up, everyone stands up.

“What about the night shift?”

I asked. In this case, rock-paper-scissors is the best, but, as I said, different world-style rock-paper-scissors has different hand shapes and rules depending on where you were born, where you live, and what religion you believe in, so it is not particularly usable on a daily basis.

When you start discussing rock-paper-scissors with the hermits who use all kinds of deformed muk-chippa +α, you literally fall into a heart attack. That much was disgusting. I don’t want to do that again for that reason.

“Hmm…”

Usually, the first night watch is the best, and if the last night is the second best, the second and third candles are literally hell itself.

“It doesn’t matter to me, so please decide the order you want first.”
“No, you can’t do that.”

I gathered some opinions. This took a little time, but in conclusion, Elise, who can use divine power, decided to stand first, and Cloudy said that she wanted to stand with me in a row, so naturally I stood second and third. I’m second. Copson was last.

I decided my turn, so now I can go in and go to sleep. First candle Elise greeted while sitting in front of the campfire.

“Then go to sleep. Saint, I will wake you up when the time is right.”
“Yes. Suffering.”

The improvised survival tent was moderately cozy. Even if it’s just a roof, that’s fine.

As for the seats, Copson was at the far right, I was at the center, and Cloudy was at the far left. It was cold, so I hugged Cloudy and lay down. As I was doing so, I felt a warm body temperature, and I fell asleep in an instant.

Oh, the breastplate is so damn uncomfortable.
According to the rules, you can’t take off your armor when you sleep outside.

“Whoop whoop…”

Suddenly, Cloudy kissed him. Covering his mouth her with my hand, I lowered my voice and shouted quietly.

“Hey, hey! I can’t see my colleagues next to me!”

There was also Copson right next to him, and there was even Elise, a religious person, so it was absolutely unacceptable. Damn! I’m going to have to do sex education again when I go back!

“Hurry up!”
“Can you do it just once?”
“…”

I kissed him on the forehead and he calmed down.
I fell asleep for a while

“Saints, it’s shift time.”
“—Uh?”

Surprisingly, time jumped.
I looked to the side and saw Cloudy sleeping soundly.

“I’ve gathered wood in my spare time, so you can keep the fire burning. The moonlight is bright, but a fire is essential.”
“Ah, ah… Why does time go by so quickly?”

I got up and came out.

As Elise said, he could see piles of wood piled up. That would keep the fire burning for a week, let alone a day. I took all the things around me.

“I didn’t notice any sign of it. The forest is quiet. I couldn’t even see the small monsters.”
“Okay, I’ll do it now. Grow up quickly.”
“Then I’ll see you in the morning.”

Elise, without hesitation, lay down where I was lying. Then, Cloudy hugged Elise. No, what is that sister doing now!

“Uh, uh… Saints?”

The scolded Cloudy began digging into Elise. She began to panic as Elise blushed at the unbelievable sight of her.

“Calm down. Stay still. If you move hastily, something big might happen.”
“…What’s the big deal?”
“It’s unbelievably amazing.”

I calmly carried out the task of separating Cloudy from Elise. They demanded very meticulous control of how strong their strength was and at the same time, they demanded more than an appropriate level of muscle strength.

“No!”

I could n’t move at all, so I gently grabbed the tip of her ear her and twisted her body her while letting out a strange groan. A dwarf’s weakness is his ears.

Only then did the liberated Elise let out her hot breath.

“…Good night.”
“Whoa… Your body temperature is hot. Then I’ll go to sleep first.”

Alone, I sat in front of the campfire and passed the time by feeding wood to the fire. The forest was really quiet. Originally, when you sleep in a place like this, you can hear the sounds of all kinds of creatures.

The sound of something flying, the sound of strange beings breaking through the bush. And the sound of something unknown walking through the night. But, I didn’t hear anything like that either. All I could hear was the sound of the fire burning and the sound of the wind.

It was very boring because there was no stimulation.
As I was gazing at the lengthy time, as if it had been stretched out endlessly, I heard a sound.

ㅡ kung.

“Well?”

The sound of something falling? No, that’s not it. Footsteps then? No, it’s too loud for footsteps. What are you talking about?

He immediately drew his sword and looked left and right.

Shall I wake the kids?
I may have heard it wrong, so I put it on hold.

And.

ㅡ kung.

What the fuck is this

ㅡKung!

I tried to wake the kids up by screaming.
At that moment.

ㅡ It’s crazy!

“What, what?!”

The tree fell and something huge appeared.
As a mortal, I witnessed the gigantic, strange monster.

ㅡJYURURURURURURURU!!!

“Elijaeeeee!!!!!”

What appeared through the trees was a huge fleshy monster.

The size of the huge undead with all kinds of flesh attached was close to 3 meters.

“It’s a flash golem!!!!!!!!!!”
