“Hehe. A diet? What a bad person…”
Zero, who became sullen, was carried on my shoulder, and we moved to another place.
Due to time constraints, we used the excuse of time and only loosely covered the body of Prince Louis with dirt. Aston took care of burying the body, even if it was shallow.
“It’s okay now. You can forget about it.”
‘…What is he talking about?’
Aston made some incomprehensible remarks while tidying up the body of Prince Louis, who seemed much refreshed.
Those who were wondering if they could leave the prince’s body behind seemed relieved, especially since Aston, who was once the Second Prince, said he was fine.
“Oh, the zombies are coming again!”
Without a chance to catch our breath, zombies began to gather again.
Duo [Dash] Zone, where only the most powerful aristocratic families could survive among the central nobility. It was a place where Agatha’s egg whites were very expensive, and the area was the second largest after the Huangcheng, with the fewest people per square area.
In other words, it was a neighborhood where powerful and wealthy noble families built mansions, and the zombie population was the lowest in terms of area.
“Groooaaa… Aaaa…”
“Grrrr… Grrrr…”
“Grrruuaaaa…”
As expected, the number of zombies roaming around Duo [Dash] Zone was relatively small compared to Duo [Dash] Zone 2.
Whether it was because their memories held them back, the noble zombies in Duo [Dash] Zone 1 couldn’t leave the area easily.
‘I wonder if the zombie prince who lingered around the area where he was strange in Duo [Dash] Zone 1?’
If so, were the zombies lingering around the Kitten Duke’s residence also people who lived in Duo [Dash] Zone 1?
Thinking that way made me feel a little sad.
‘Well, I can’t undo what has already happened.’
I avoided getting caught up in unnecessary thoughts and paid attention not to mess things up.
I was grateful that zombies from other areas didn’t flock here.
‘Well, come to think of it, Duo [Dash] 1 has a low population density, so zombies might have lost interest early and moved elsewhere.’
For me, who had to reclaim even a narrow land after completing Zero’s quest, it was good news.
“Attack!”
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Gunshots, crossbow shots, and the sound of casting spells were mixed together.
To prevent zombies from coming more, Ruth and Marion joined forces to temporarily create a barrier that blocked all the noise in the limited space we were in.
Everyone aimed precisely at their foreheads and successfully turned the zombies into corpses without any errors.
The excitement of the maids Emily and Rose was tremendous.
“Master! We did it!”
“A magical crossbow seems like a really amazing weapon. It’s a perfect hit! Even beginners like us can aim well, so we’re not afraid anymore.”
“That’s good.”
Looking toward Ruth’s side, he sent an okay sign with a quizzical look.
As before, Ruth’s assistance in casting buff spells was crucial for increasing the party’s weapon sniper accuracy. Oh, of course, Nadia’s situation, facing zombies with knuckles, was a bit different. With the knuckle pattern obtained from the skill ‘Help Me, MacGyver!’ received from Zero and my generous supply of materials, Benjamin willingly crafted knuckles for Nadia. As a result, Nadia’s knuckles became a rare item with an evaluation grade of S. It was a beautiful knuckle with a design engraved with a lily, the emblem of Countess Lutri, to avoid conflicting with the aesthetic sense of aristocratic ladies, coated with silver infused with holy power. Seeing the knuckles with both design and destructive power, I gave a thumbs-up to Benjamin. When I brought the finished product, Nadia, who said she didn’t like sweating training, had disappeared. “Is, is this really for me? Wow!” She was delighted like a child receiving an unexpected birthday present. “Lutri Countess’s illegitimate daughter who emits a lot of mana, so I developed an eye for recognizing good weapons. Since receiving these knuckles, Nadia has gone to the training ground to learn martial arts without being told by my party members. Martial arts that compete by hitting the opponent’s vital points with knuckles were a martial art that suited Nadia very well. Her skills improved day by day through consistent training, with Michael and Aston serving as martial arts instructors, who directly sparred with Nadia. “Lutri Countess’s daughter is a born martial artist. Teaching her is so much fun.” “Limited to martial arts, if you teach one, you understand ten. I can see why so many generals have been produced from the Lutri family.” With praise from the Holy Knight and Sword Master, Nadia continued to devote herself to training.
“Countess Lutri’s daughter is a natural martial artist. Teaching her seems to be a lot of fun.”
“Limiting it to martial arts, she learns ten things by being taught one. I can understand why the Lutri family produces so many generals.”
With praise from the Holy Knight and Sword Master, Nadia continued to devote herself to training.
“Uwaaa! Disgustingly ugly zombies! Crush them all!”
“Ugh…… Grr!”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
