If they didn’t want to become the same human garbage as the people from the temple who had invaded the thirty-sixth circle dungeon, they should cooperate with me.
Zero, finding this situation interesting, had taken out a cookie and was crunching it.
“Heh, as expected, there are only party members. They’re the only ones who think of you.”
‘…True.’
At first, when I heard that I had to gather party members, it was all gloomy…
But somehow, seeing my party members who trusted me, my heart was touched.
And lastly, Ashton stepped forward.
“In the face of a dismal reality, Duchess Kitten, who told me to pull myself together and breathed the courage to live into me when I had no motivation whatsoever.”
With a clear reddish glow in his eyes, he growled.
“To insult her sincerity is tantamount to insulting me. Do you still think Duchess Kitten is not suitable to lead and guide survivors against zombies?”
W-Well, but Your Highness, the Second Prince, looks perfectly fine… Wouldn’t the prince be more suitable as a leader?
Someone finally mustered the courage to counter my words, and Ashton chuckled.
“People who didn’t even know I existed are talking big.”
Y-Your Highness!
Your words are too harsh.
Unlike the gentle image of Louis, Ashton, displaying a sarcastic attitude, faced opposition from the local lords, but he ignored all of it.
“Well, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. On the battlefield, the threat of death comes fairly to everyone regardless of their status.”
That’s…
“And even if you were aware of my existence, would you have followed me like this to fight zombies if the situation didn’t erupt like this?”
‘No, probably not…’
Even without answering, it was clear.
Since there was no mention of Ashton in the original happy ending, he probably remained forgotten by everyone, spending his life only on the battlefield.
……
The local lords fell silent as if they were mute, knowing there wasn’t a single false statement.
“My intentions remain the same. To fight against zombies with Duchess Kitten as the center. On my sword, the will of the duchess will be engraved, and I will strive to eliminate the zombies as a knight who follows the duchess’s orders.”
This was not the pledge of a knight to a lady.
It was a declaration close to absolute loyalty from a knight who found his lord.
Everyone gasped at the statement, feeling the intensity of a knight’s absolute loyalty.
Even I felt a tingling sensation in my heart at the warmth of this realization.
‘…They believe in me.’
All my struggles so far were not in vain.
Although tears seemed to well up with that realization, I kept my eyes wide open, trying not to blink to prevent them from falling.
Only now did the local lords lower their heads to me and cautiously asked.
…Duchess Kitten. We were foolish.
Please lend us your wisdom on what we should do.
I thought I could just avoid this situation for a while. May we now have the honor of assisting the duchess?
Their request for trustworthy information, demanding as if they were in a superior position, was a far cry from the arrogance earlier.
Zero commented.
「Those humans have finally started to pay attention to you, not Ashton.」
‘…Yeah.’
The look of fear in their eyes, worried that they might be excluded from this situation as they glanced at me, wasn’t bad at all.
“Well then, let’s start by going back to the very beginning of the story.”
Ahem. After smoothing out my voice, I focused the attention on me.
Not only the local lords who appeared on the communication screen but also Lena, my exclusive maid, and all of my party members turned their ears to my words.
With glittering eyes filled with trust in me.
In that warm atmosphere, I completely forgot about the chilling cold I felt from the body of the Crown Prince’s corpse.
“The beginning was the wedding of His Highness, the Crown Prince. Her Highness, the Crown Princess, suddenly had her eyes turn red, twisted her body, and then started biting the Crown Prince, initiating the infection….”
I gradually began sharing information with the local lords.
As the sole survivor and witness of the initial zombie infection incident at the royal palace, I conveyed the facts as they were.
They were shocked and sighed at the rapid infectivity of the zombies.
“……Therefore, I assert that no region can be free from danger in the current situation. If the zombies cross the walls of the capital, other regions will likely end up in a similar state as the capital.”
Huh……
No matter where on the continent, the situation seems to be the same.
There’s no place to escape.
“As long as there is even one zombie left, that will be the case. They seem like cursed monsters that appeared to kill every living human being.”
The malicious intent of the culprit who wanted everyone dead.
I had never forgotten about it for even a moment.
“And there is someone behind the scenes controlling those monsters.”
We must kill that person to ensure the survival of us living humans.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
