It seems that Akane-san is afraid of undead.
Even though I had already told her that we would be challenging an undead nest, why did she still want to participate...?
"Akane-san, if you're scared of undead, you could have just told me."
"I-I told you I'm not scared, didn’t I?!"
"Ah, there’s a ghost behind you!"
"Hi-iiiiiieeeeee!?"
Akane-san, clutching her head, collapsed to the ground.
There’s no way she could justify this.
At this rate, it doesn’t seem like she’ll be able to fight.
"To be honest, you're a hindrance, so can you stay here in the park, Akane-san?"
"Nooooo, I absolutely cannot accept that!?"
Akane-san clung to me desperately.
It seems like being left alone is also something she’s afraid of.
"Ugh, I’m causing so much trouble... I have no choice but to commit seppuku...!"
"No, you’d be way more scared of dying than of undead, right...?"
As we tried to stop Akane-san, Queen Maribel spoke.
"If you die here, wouldn't you become an undead?"
"Huh!?"
Akane-san's eyes widened.
"If I commit seppuku, I’d become an undead!? Wh-what should I do!?"
It seems she’s also afraid of becoming an undead, so Akane-san gave up on committing seppuku.
She really is troublesome...
We had no choice but to bring Akane-san along.
We could have teleported her back to the village, but if we left her alone, she might really go through with seppuku...
"Leave it to me. Any undead that approach you, I’ll purify them all."
Seeing Akane-san’s worried expression, Gai-san, who’s also from the East, thumped his chest and offered to take care of it.
However, his gaze was fixed on Akane-san’s chest and rear, so I decided to ask Hazena-san for Akane-san's support instead.
"Leave it to me!"
"Huh, why…"
"Because you look like you might take the chance to do something inappropriate!"
Gai-san is a monk, but he’s a perverted monk full of worldly desires.
We landed the park in the plaza right in front of the castle at the city’s center.
As soon as the undead, who had been wriggling around there, saw our human forms, they rushed toward us.
"GYAAAAAA, THEY’RE COMING FOR US!!!"
"Undead tend to flock to the living, you know~"
Akane-san screamed with wide eyes, while Gori-chan lightly chuckled and stepped forward, readying his fists to confront the incoming undead.
"DOOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!"
"～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!?"
A few undead were sent flying all at once.
With Gori-chan’s attack as the signal, everyone began to scatter the undead with a single coordinated effort.
Though the undead were numerous, they were no match for the elite team we had.
In no time, all the undead in the plaza were wiped out.
"As expected, the village’s elite are on another level..."
"It seems like we don’t even have a chance to get involved..."
"...Maybe we shouldn’t have come along after all."
Vegalen-san and his party chuckled.
"But they keep coming..."
"If we keep dealing with them one by one, it’ll never end. What are we going to do, Luke?"
"I feel a strong unclean aura coming from that castle."
Since Gai-san also mentioned it, it seems like that castle is suspicious.
"Let’s ignore the undead coming from behind and charge straight into the castle."
So, we decided to push forward while eliminating the undead blocking our path.
The castle gates were tightly shut, but with some territorial conquest and adding part of the village, we could easily break them open with facility customization.
"Wait, be careful. There’s something there."
Right after we passed through the castle gates, Philia-san, with her sharp senses, was the first to notice.
Immediately, something enormous started crawling out from the ground.
What appeared, scattering dirt everywhere, was a huge skeleton.
It had many arms and wielded several worn-out greatswords.
"Oh my, there’s quite a skeleton undead here. Just like its name..."
Just after Gori-chan made a poor joke, the giant skeleton leaped at us, swinging its greatsword.
