I extended my hand to these poor slaves, and they were so scared they died out of horror! Quite literally… Ugh, am I that scary? I just want to be nice and friendly. Come on. A ghost can also be cute and nice, right?
“You scared them to death,” Lucifer muttered.
“I know! And I already revived them, so don’t be annoying,” I sighed.
“Annoying?! You’re calling the great me, a dragon that has lived for millennia, annoying?”
“Yeah, now shut up. We have bring these people outside and also investigate this place.”
As my comrades brought the slaves outside, I began to investigate this place by myself. It was easier than I thought because I had the memories of this guy, so I knew everything around this place. There were documents, some resources, and other stuff, but most of the things he had and were valuable were left within his spatial pouch, which I saved inside my Inventory.
There were a lot of recipes for Undead I had never seen before, alongside materials to add to the Undead Raising process. After that, I grabbed everything I could and shoved it inside of my Inventory. I was bored of this place, and it honestly reeked of rat piss, so we got straight out of there after I stole anything of value or no value at all… I just like to steal.
Ding!
[You acquired the [Pickpocket] Title Skill]
Eh?! That’s new! I thought Title Skills were rarer than that. I guess I have indeed stolen a great deal of stuff. Good thing no one can see each other’s status, so no one will know I am a thief. Also, what does Pickpocket do?
…
[Pickpocket: Lv1]
A Title Skill bestowed to someone who had stolen over 100 goods.
It enhances the user’s ability to steal with each level while making the user less vulnerable to being discovered.
…
Well, alright, so it just lets you become better at robbing people? Who would have known… I guess this world encourages you to steal now? But to Level up this Title Skill, I need to steal more, so it is quite problematic… I guess I am not getting more of this title’s level up then because I will become a holy woman who will never steal ever again from here and now!
…Joking. I like to grab things that aren’t mine and then say, “they’re mine now.” It makes me feel strangely good deep inside. I guess I am truly the Evil of the World.
“Phew, finally done with this whole ordeal. Let’s go back to the village and drink some booze,” Said Lucifer.
“I am tired too….” Partner sighed.
“Me too. You two did a good job. I am very proud of my little baby undead.” I said, petting the two.
“B-Baby undead?!” Lucifer shouted angrily.
“Hehe, pet me more, master!” Partner said, asking for more affection.
“Of course, you’re so cute… I would pet you all day,” I said as I petted Partner even more.
“Now, kiss! Kiss!”
I kissed her forehead and nose.
“Happy?” I asked.
“Yesh!”
Aw, she’s so lovely. I think she’s like my daughter now. My baby girl! Lucifer walked to our side in silence as he tried to ignore us. The slaves walked with us all the way to the village. They were all confused and sickly. Also, most of them were extremely hungry and needed to eat ASAP, as some were almost about to die again. When we reached the village, we were greeted by my Undead guards.
“How did things go?” I asked.
“A boar came. Kuro killed it, and villagers ate it.”
“Okay then, nothing much.”
The Zombie, who barely could articulate words while walking around. He looked like he was about to collapse to the ground at any moment by the way he walked, but he was surprisingly well balanced.
“Aaand, we are here!” I shouted before greeting the Goblins, who were eating grilled boar.
“You guys came back faster than I thought!” Said the Goblin Chief.
“T-They’re back!”
“I am glad everything went fine….”
“They brought all the slaves that bastard had… there’s even some goblins there too,”
“So many new people….”
“MRAO!”
Kuro rushed towards me and jumped onto my face before licking me.
“You missed me, big guy? Don’t worry, everything went fine,” I said, petting him.
“We did everything quite fast. The black-robed guy was tough, but what do you know? If you cut the limbs of a person, they can’t do a lot of stuff suddenly, such as running away or using their overpowered staff,” I said, showing my new relic.
“Oh, that’s a great staff, Maria-sama,” The Chief complimented one of my new weapons.
“I also got this bad boy to boot,” I said while showing off my other cool weapon.
“That’s an Incredible sword!”
“Right? And… Eh?”
I noticed that all the group of Goblins that came with us had evolved. They got taller all of a sudden, and some of them had dark hair now or dark tattoos. In comparison, they were as tall as a small person, close to a fifteen-year-old.
“You guys evolved into Hobgoblins?!”
“Yeah, you just noticed?” The Chief sighed.
“She’s as slow as a rock,” Lucifer muttered.
“Who are you calling slow?! And rocks aren’t slow because they don’t even move,”
Lucifer averted his gaze from me before I was to get any angrier. You’ll see when I slap that big and meaty dragon ass one of these days!
“Anyways, congrats, guys! Let’s celebrate now,”
We brought the provisions from the black-robed man and the bandits we defeated. We started a little feast to celebrate our victory. One of the foods we had was some delicious boar meat, which was like pork but with a stronger flavor. But everything in total was pretty tasty.
“I am glad you’re fine, Maria… I was a bit worried when the goblins came back….” Sighed Emeraldine as she sat at our side while we ate and drank.
“Of course, I would be fine! Who do you think I am?” I asked.
She smiled back at me warmly as she cleaned my mouth, which had breadcrumbs.
“You’re so strong but also quite a bit child-like….” She muttered.
“C-Child-like?!”
“Hehe… But that is part of your charm,” She said, smiling cutely.
Ah… she’s really a cutie… Does she want to become my daughter too? I wouldn’t mind!
