Episode 8: Corpse Eater's Request

"Chi, stay away from me!

When I slowly reached out and snapped, "Vuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

It would be natural.

In the labyrinth, there's no way he's in this world, such as a human being approaching and not alerting with a corpse-eating ghost, Ghoul, groaning.

Moreover, on second thought, it is extremely odd that there is a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul) in this hierarchy of the Labyrinth "Labyrinth of the Water Moon".

The corpse eater Ghoul is a superior demon to the boner Skeleton and rarely appears in places like the Iron Adventurer makes it a hunting ground.

If it comes out, it's either when it climbs out of the lower hierarchy with some mistake, or it's a special individual who's less likely to be dominated by the rules of the labyrinth.

And in either case, the strength of its corpse-eating ghost Ghoul is often above normal.

If a rush suddenly comes across something like that, that's the level at which you have to be prepared to die.

It was alert and natural.

Then they're going to say you knew that and approached the girl adventurer with a groan, but I didn't mean that as far as I'm concerned.

Instead, I was going to say hello normally and speak up, but I still haven't been able to be this body, and it was very difficult to speak up, especially if you were just going to fight.

Sometimes I didn't need to train for a long time on how to fight and how to move my body, and I could objectively understand which of my movements was bad and how to fix it, so it was easy to fix it, so I managed it at an early stage.

However, there can be no experience in thinking again about how to speak, and there is a great deal of struggle about this.

As a result, Vu -, so I won't have a choice in this anymore.

Besides, it was quite a shock to be such a body and to be yelled at by the first person to come out, that's also a young girl, to stay away, but that's another way to go.

It's not that my presence is disgusting or anything, it's just the corpse eater Ghoul, so you won't have to worry about it.

Probably.

But even so, as far as I'm concerned, I wanted to communicate somehow.

So I stopped perfectly for the girl's words and for now tried to make a voice that could be heard as something.

"Vuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Oh, come on, V, Rendo, Rendo. Lendo!

"Hih!

All of a sudden, the girl starts to sound frightened.

But I don't flinch.

Because I didn't feel good about giving up here.

For example, suppose, you give up that you can't do it here, and the girl escapes from here.

Then, what happens is that reports of the emergence of a special demon in the labyrinth will be made the Adventurers Union Guild, and there will come a powerful adventurer with considerable arms.

In that case, it's not good for boulders.

Fighting all sorts of demons and evolving beings, even though I am somewhat stronger, there are still a lot of people to die for.

It ends when they come to them like that in this state.

So I needed to communicate with the girl somehow.

As a last resort, for once, I'll kill the girl, not least, but I'm human.

I didn't feel like I could do that.

Well, unless the girl says she's a bandit or a criminal, but as far as I can tell, a young adventurer who works hard, it feels like.

There was no way I could get used to being willing to take such a human future for myself indefinitely.

That's why I spoke so desperately.

"So, sooooooooo!... gibberish, gibberish, gibberish... oh, haha, gibberish, gibberish."

I kept talking about that for a while.

Then, the girl also began to listen to her voice, wondering whether she was relative but didn't seem to be attacking her.

…… Something... talking...?

"Soo, soo... Ooh, Rendezvous! Me, bokusha..."

I knew it was different when I had someone, and I get used to talking a little bit too.

Girls are also beginning to grasp meaning in voices that are becoming slightly clearer than at first.

"... Boo Boo Boo Sha... Boo Boo Sha, Adventurer!? Could you be... you're an adventurer...?

"Shh! Okay, blah, blah! Nah... Lendo!

"... Mr. Rend?

"Rendo... Rendo, Rento... Rento!

"Oh, Mr. Lent..."

When we got here, they got used to the girl, too.

Maybe this girl is thicker than I thought.

The weapon stays in place, but he talks to me, the corpse-eating ghost Ghoul, normally.

"So how did that Mr. Lent... look like that... some kind of pseudo or something?

"Oh, Shin... Shin..."

Disappointed, once again explaining her situation, the girl looks sorry,

"Oh, yeah... even the corpse eater Ghoul... Yeah, but I do hear that some of the demons of immortality change after people die... with little or no lifetime consciousness left, they become something else altogether..."

The words the girl uttered are correct.

Not at all if you retain a part of your lifetime memory, but that's just in such a way that that your lifetime memory is incorporated into your instincts, apart from a state of clear memory and willingness like a living person.

Some high-end undead have been reincarnated from people due to extremely advanced sorcery, but it's almost a legendary story, and you can say it's not the first thing you see.

In other words, it is possible to say through rarity that a corpse-eating ghost in this state, Ghoul, has the will and memory of a person.

I can't explain it well either, but I didn't expect the reason for it.

Probably because of the Dragon I ran into.

I don't know the details of what reason it is or what phenomenon it is, but I think this is happening because that Dragon did something.

Other than that, there was nothing special about me, so it was a natural conclusion.

But I can't help explaining that.

More than that, first of all, the prerequisite was for the girl to know that I had a solid and inherent consciousness and to cooperate with all sorts of things.

Anyway, I want to go to the city.

We need the girl's help to do that.

"... Well, well, well, well, well, no... well, well... well, well!

"Oh, really? Live... it feels odd when people say you're alive... but it does seem like you're not like a normal demon, and I, I had help... I was. Thank you very much for that verse."

You remembered as you spoke, the girl says so with her sword in place and makes a meeting.

I answered that, too.

"Yes, fine... don't touch it... Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo..."

"If you say so... Um, so, I'm gonna ask you something, can I just keep going back? Won't they kill you?

That's what the girl asked me, so I answer in a hurry.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."

"Good. I'm relieved. Still, please, is...? I'm a benefactor of life... a demon, and if you can ask... if you don't give me blood or meat"

"Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

"Clothes? Uh... uh, I see..."

The girl seemed to be able to guess inside, looked all over me, nodded as she understood, and continued.

"If it stays like this, if anyone else adventurers or something comes, it means they're attacked by demons too...... hmm I hope it's a robe or something where your body hides?

"So, if so, you can give me a whirl, but there's... oh, there's a whirl..."

The girl adventurer is probably an iron-class adventurer.

The money should be insignificant.

In that regard, I was making money there for once, and I had my lifetime belongings and money.

For some reason, it was worn unchanged or fell nearby.

That's what I picked up.

Placing a bag of gold and silver coins in a cloth bag on the ground and telling the girl to step back and take it, the girl was still a little wary, but approached slowly and took the bag.

And look at the contents,

"Ko, this is... you've made a lot of good money...? Weren't you an adventurer with a sawdust name in your life?

And I've asked as a surprise.

But I have quite a bit of money, not because I make a lot of money, but because I've been saving up for it.

Almost the whole amount of it is just there.

I just don't explain that much to the girl either.

Or I didn't want to feel like explaining it, so I said something else while I was deluding myself around it.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh..."

To my words, the girl,

"... ok. There are many things that I think... you don't seem like a bad demon... in the first place, because I would already be dead without you. As a knight, this Lina Luperge rewards you. Wait...... Mr. Lent"

With that said, the girl left the spot with her sword in place, lagging behind.

I don't know, he still can't completely forgive me.

Well, naturally.

If he's more of an adventurer, that's right, and if he doesn't, he won't grow in the future.

One day, you're going to be a good adventurer, I thought.

The question is, will you keep your promise to me or run away with the money as it is, but from my eyesight, which I've seen various newcomers for ten years, I felt that that girl would not betray me?

I mean seriously......

Well, even if they betrayed me, that would be then.

I'm me, and I need to think about that time and keep a little bit of strength.

I thought so again, and started wandering the labyrinth again to crusade other demons.
