When I woke up with my main body, we had already reached the ruins. The sky wasn’t clear at all, and it was very much still pretty cloudy. The air was chilly, and there was snow falling from the sky.
I found out that Emeraldine, Partner, and the twins were with me, sleeping. I slowly moved away from them by turning into my ghostly phantasmal form as the ruins greeted me from the outside. The carriage had already ended up moving some time ago.
What made these ruins? Well, there were massive half-destroyed walls and ruins of houses inside, all of them made into many rows, going around a large castle where the Demon King used to live. There are also ruins around the walls, which seemed to be once used by farmers? I think so. And there is a small forest around the entire place.
Lucifer was sitting in front of us in his dragon form. His shiny bluish and black scales shone brightly below whatever sunlight came across the clouds atop the sky.
He looked into the distance with a bit of contempt.
“…”
“We are finally here. What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing… It’s just… This brings me back some memories.” Said Lucifer.
“Oh, I see….” I said.
We both admired the ruins in the distance, alongside the small foggy forest surrounding it. I felt some critters wandering around there, but nothing too threatening.
There was a lot of snow over the floor, probably a whole meter above the ground… So that’s quite something.
“Yawn~ Uwah? Oh, we are here already?”
Partner woke up first as she walked out of the carriage and admired the beauty of the surroundings, although most of it was just an endless snowfield.
“Yep, we are here… It is not as pretty as I imagined, and the snow keeps falling, but this is where we’ll make our home… We have to make ourselves feel comfortable, right?” I asked.
“Yeah… There will be a lot of work to do. We’ll reconstruct this place, right?” wondered Partner.
“Well yeah, I do plan to do that,” I said.
And after that, the rest of the people walked out of the carriages, alongside the other people in the other caravans. Emeraldine and the twins were the first ones to reach us, and they were wearing fluffy clothes covering most of their bodies for the cold. Emeraldine looked a bit funny because she had massive breasts, so when she covered them with a lot of clothes, it looked as if her chest was just a gigantic lump… Hahaha!
“…”
I am envious.
“Th-This place is very cold… I can’t imagine we’ll make this our home… Maybe we can use magic to warm it up somehow?” asked Emeraldine.
“What kind of magic can warm a place?” wondered Takeshi.
“I-I don’t know, but something could do it!” said Emeraldine.
“Fire Magic, maybe… Or I could detonate little rocks that bring some heat.” Said Laura.
“Laura, I told you to not use your Unique Skills carelessly….” I said.
“I-I was just joking around…” she said with a mild smile.
Catarina, Silvio, and Francesco showed up at our side not long after. They seemed surprised about the surroundings, the snow. The entire place was chilly, but this entire place was okay for us, Undead!
Except for the Fire Ghost Duo. Those guys are made of flames. Even if phantasmal, their main element is heated, so in a cold place, they naturally grow weaker. I have thought that much like Partner learning the Sunlight Resistance Skill, they would eventually learn Cold Resistance or something, or well, that’s my hope.
“This place… It is weakening us… Uuugh…” sighed Silvio.
“Ahh… So cold… I never thought I would miss having a body!” said Francesco.
“Haha, you two are getting smaller by the second!” laughed Catarina.
“Catarina, don’t laugh at them! Aren’t they technically like your siblings?” asked Emeraldine.
“I laugh to whoever I want! Nobody is ordering me around, elf.” Said Catarina while groaning back at Emeraldine.
Emeraldine pouted angrily at her for always acting rude, but I petted her shoulders, and Emeraldine almost jumped out of surprise. She then looked at me while blushing.
I guess she’s still being affected by what happened between the two. Even touching her causes some strange reactions in her body… We’ll have to talk about this. She shouldn’t make it so damn obvious…
“Emeraldine, calm down, leave her be. She’s always like that. Just ignore her.” I said.
“Geez… Okay…” she said, glaring angrily at Catarina and then walking to my side.
“Damn, you got this elf tamed.” Said Catarina.
“I also have you tamed,” I said.
“Guh… I guess…” sighed Catarina.
Technically speaking, she’s MY undead, so she’s a tamed monster of my own property, heh.
So she’s even worse. She’s like a dog.
Actually, that was way too rude… She’s not like a dog.
“Catarina is a dork anyway. She’s stupid.” Said Partner.
“Ahahaha!” laughed Emeraldine at Partner’s sudden remark without context.
“W-Who are you calling like that, you… fake vampire!” said Catarina.
“I drank your blood and became an actually Vampire while you’re a zombie now! Hehe, who is the loser here?” asked Partner.
Damn, she’s destroying her.
“Alright, Partner, calm down. You’ve already killed her enough….” I said.
“Aaagh! Give me back my blood!” cried Catarina.
She was actually rather affected by what Partner said. She knew very well that Partner drank her and the other two guy’s blood on a daily basis until she ended up evolving into one in the end.
Perhaps there was some sort of requirement to evolve into a Vampire that Undead like her have to do before evolving into one, and perhaps actually just drinking their blood was one of such requirements.
Now that she had become a Vampiress, her talk and words were even more eloquent than before, and she really had that air of regality that Vampires had. She was even dignified and prideful, just like Vampires often are, and perhaps even arrogant, just like now…
Emeraldine didn’t seem to mind her new personality.
