Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

It was the slums of the city that brought my brother and sister here.

They are here, sheltering with other children, living in fear of monsters.

"White oniichan, thank you for helping me then!

"... no"

"I'm sorry I was surprised and scared at first...?

"... I don't care."

"Great! I thought you hated me!

"... that's not true..."

My sister talks to me more actively.

I've been missed a lot, but I don't feel bad.

Even if she is a woman, if she is just such a child, she can talk like this.

... I admit no objection.

"Hey, where did your brother come from?

"... that way"

"That way, maybe the Kingdom of Tana?

Asked by the boy, I nod.

"Wow. Is there a lot of strong people in the exotic world like your brother?

"... what do you think?"

All right, so far we're communicating as good as we can.

Then they led me to a run-down house.

They still seem to be better off in the slums, and they're sleeping there.

Inside, it's cramped and has minimal furniture like it was picked up from somewhere.

"White brother, you've been killing monsters in the city ever since, right? It makes it easier to procure food."

……

They seemed to know what I was doing secretly.

It's kind of embarrassing, so I can swim my eyes.

They told me about what happened to the city.

It seems that the monster's anomaly caused the city residents to flee in large numbers about half a month ago.

The young children of the slums were left behind, and the siblings, who were also from the slums, stayed here without fleeing for them.

"I just can't find food anymore. If the abnormality continues to occur....."

... we still have to find out what caused the anomaly and get rid of it.

"Shh, shhhh..."

Don't worry, I'll take care of it... then.

A strange woman appeared at the entrance and exit.

"What is it? I think you can talk."

"Hmm!?

It was that Holy Knight girl.

I don't suppose you've been chasing me to this place...?

That great obsession even taught me how to fight.

"Ugh!"

I try to run aggressively, but this house, with no windows, has only one entrance.

And one of them is blocked by the Holy Knight Girl.

There's no escape this time.

Said the Holy Knight Girl proudly.

Well, what do I do...?!

"Why are you trying to escape?... no, it's strange to keep attacking you so many times.... but you know very well what I've done that I can't purify you?

Running away is because women are bad at it.

How dare you say such a shameful thing.

"Oneechan, I don't know, but don't be so mad at your white brother!

"That's right. You're scared."

Then my brother and sister saw it and interrupted it.

"No, I'm not angry....."

"Just calm down a little bit! Otherwise, I can't talk properly! Because white oniichan is an extreme stranger!

Ufu...

I got emotionally damaged and staggered.

I didn't expect such a child to tell me...

"I see... I'm sorry"

The Holy Knight Girl apologizes.

Stop it! Stop it!

It's too embarrassing to be apologized for!

And what she thought, the knight girl sat down with the entrance blocked.

"Well, let's take some time to talk about it."

I was struck by the preparedness of the samurai not to move until I finished talking.

I also decided that I really couldn't escape...

"Originally an adventurer, he died in a dungeon... and when I realized he was undead,"

"That's right... how long has it been since then... I don't even know..."

I was spitting everything out.

Although it took time at first, I was able to speak properly gradually.

That's because this knight girl sat down and waited for my words.

By the way, my brother and sister, the owner of this house, are going out until we finish talking.

If they knew I was undead, they'd be in trouble again.

"I mean, you're not a bad undead?

"But of course...."

"They say it's a vicious undead trying to build a kingdom of immortals on earth."

Hey, what was that about!?

The Kingdom of the Undead? I haven't even thought about it.

I wanted to think it was a lie, but the Holy Knight girl has a serious face.

Apparently it's true.

I've never done anything wrong before, have I?

Why are you telling me that...?

"That's what the Necromancer you defeated said. And it spread."

"Eh...."

It's his fault...!

"Oh, I... don't mean that..."

"What about the dragons?

There is something hard to answer when asked...

I don't know if you'll believe me, but this is your chance.

Let's insist.

"I just... became a family member on my own... that's not my intention..."

"... I see. Why are you turning human villages and cities around? You're panicking everywhere.

"I didn't mean to scare you... I'm just... looking for a way to die..."

"How to die?

"That's right... I don't want to go to sleep in this world... but I don't know how to do that... as you know, I don't take a bit of damage or purify myself..."

……

This knight girl has tried to purify me with a spear.

But it didn't work at all.

"What the hell am I supposed to do..."

"... then why don't you come to my country?

Huh?

Sudden and unexpected suggestions make me blink.

"Holy Nation of Melt Ram. St. Melt's Bishop's Country. In our country, there may be a way to purify you."

"Oh, really?

"... but of course, it's about possibilities. But it's much better than searching the dark clouds.... it's annoying."

The knight girl continued in a mysterious manner.

"For us, an undead that goes against God's rule is abominable. We must purify it. On the other hand, you want to be purified yourself. In a sense, we could say that our interests coincide."

"... sure."

"Originally, taking Undead to our country would be the extreme of disbelief, but in this case it would not be blamed.... of course, if what you say is true, but..."

"Ugh, I'm not lying... I really just want to die..."

... you're supposed to be telling the truth, but you sound like you're telling a lie because your words follow suit.

Unfortunately, I don't like my own communal handicaps...

"Very well. I'll believe you for now."

Against my expectations, the knight girl nodded.

"Are you sure...?

"I know you're not a bad undead from what you've done so far. First of all, you don't have to lie while you have that much power."

Good, good.

Now we may be able to move a lot closer to our goal.

"But before we do that, there's one thing we need to do."

……

"I want to remove the cause of this monster's anomaly. Can you help me?
