In front of Sienna, smiling like the bright sun from the past, Sherry and Jacqueline were at a loss for words.

〈…Fine. If you want to, we can’t stop you.〉

〈We can’t just rely on the Duchess without doing anything, especially since we’re in cooperation.〉

Even they respected Sienna’s will and took a step back.

〈…Even if you look at it, Sienna doesn’t seem like a zombie.〉

〈She looks just like the Sienna we knew. She appears completely normal.〉

Even though they were aware of the fact that Sienna became the first zombie at the wedding, witnessing it, they were still confused.
It seemed like they wanted to believe more in the fact that their friend, whom they thought was dead, had miraculously come back to life in the same state as before.

Even Rena, who was in charge of monitoring, expressed confusion, stating that Sienna doesn’t show any strange signs.

“Your Grace… No matter how I look at it, it seems that Her Highness the Crown Princess is just an ordinary person. There’s nothing particularly peculiar about her.”

“……No unexpected behavior?”

“None at all. She eats regularly, sleeps an average of 7 hours, and Emily and Rose share the same opinion as me.”

“……. ”

“People generally regard her as a good person. It seems like many want to take care of her, considering that she seems to have suffered outside to the extent of losing her memory.”

It was a troublesome situation.

If it weren’t confirmed by the system, even I wouldn’t have believed that Sienna was a zombie.

‘Ah. I feel choked in this sweet potato situation, it’s frustrating.’

I was the only one convinced that she was a zombie in this situation!

“……What on earth is that?”

Even after sending Rena away and groaning by my side, Zero also looked puzzled.

After days of being on edge and watching, there was little gain, so it was somewhat frustrating.

I leaned on the desk in my study and complained to Zero.

“I don’t know… The behavior pattern is too different from a typical zombie; I don’t know what to call it.”

“If it’s different from a living person, what’s the difference? Damn it… If that’s the case, you have no choice but to keep bringing Sienna along.”

“I partly expected this, but it doesn’t feel great.”

Sienna melted into the mansion with her characteristic stiff yet lovely attitude.

Now that she was here, I couldn’t drive Sienna away. Even though I rescued survivors from zombies, if people continued to insist that Sienna, who looked completely innocent, was a zombie, the same reactions as before would occur.

“They’ll portray me as the villain again.”

“…I want to deny it, but unfortunately, it seems like that’s how it will be.”

“Unless we capture Sienna’s zombie-like behavior on video, it’s impossible.”

The problem was that, even with surveillance 24/7, Sienna’s behavior was consistently proper.

‘Is it because mutant zombies don’t have the desire to bite people?’

Already a corpse? So, she doesn’t need to consume nutrients, and that’s why she doesn’t bite people? But didn’t we clearly see it at the wedding venue?

Sienna, blinking her eyes like a hungry beast, tearing into the Crown Prince’s neck.

‘There must be something.’

Sienna is a zombie.

And since she once bit a person, it was evident that Sienna would bite someone again.

Zero agreed with my opinion.

“The message from the culprit stated that it would be better if everyone in this world died.”

“Yeah.”
“If that’s the case, he wouldn’t have sent Sienna to fetch me a drink. He must have sown chaos for some reason. The timing is just too strange. Sienna, whom we thought had died, comes back to life right after recapturing Zone Duo1? It’s obvious that someone is targeting you.”

“……That’s right.”

While actively progressing through the zombie eradication quest, I anticipated interference from the culprit.

However, I never expected them to carry out such a crazy act as resurrecting Sienna, who had been confirmed dead, as a zombie.

“I don’t even know if there’s a way to completely eliminate Sienna.”

Sienna had experienced death twice, both as a human and as a zombie.

Even if we attack her head this time, will it really work?

Seeing my uneasiness, Zero approached and compared his chubby body to the palm of my hand.

“……What are you doing?”

“C-cough. Can’t you see? I’m trying to make you feel better.”

‘……This?’

Of course, touching the chubby, golden hamster with a smooth brown coat did improve my mood somewhat. But if it was Zero, it felt uncomfortable.

“T-this! If I offer a special service, it might help you relax!”

“No, why are you shouting?”

“Enough, just pet me!”

To soothe the possessed Zero, I had to move my hands like a machine.

Of course, amid this, my worries didn’t stop.

“Haa…….”

“Why are you sighing again?”

“It’s not just Sienna herself, but also the party members who have lost their minds since she appeared.”

“Ahh…….”

Zero’s expression turned cold at my words.

“Having lost their minds because Sienna appeared. Huh!”

Although it was indeed an old-fashioned remark, I also nodded my head.

The sub-male characters in the original work were causing a commotion because of Sienna.

“Sienna… How did you end up here?”
