The horse, who bravely rushed into the zombies, was frightened by Alice-chan’s bombing magic and couldn’t proceed, so Ursch-kun stopped the carriage at the end of the street and ran in the direction where the bombing magic was being used.
As we approached, I saw that it truly was Alice-chan. The surrounding knights and adventurers were blocked by bombing magic and couldn’t get close, so they were watching Alice-chan’s fight from a distance.
Alice-chan activated a number of small [Land Mines] around her, and moved them quickly and irregularly on the ground. She dexterously slips through the [Land Mines], hit the zombies with a huge fork and threw them on top of the [Land Mine]. The opponent zombies managed to avoid [Land Mine] and Alice-chan moving around on the ground. . .
While avoiding? . . . Zombies?
To put it simply, zombies are moving corpses, right?
Whether there is a mine in the direction they are traveling, whether their friends are blown away, I had an image of them moving forward without understanding because there is no intelligence. Isn’t that right?
As I ran, I questioned Ursch-kun next to me.
“Ursch-kun, this is the first time I’ve seen a zombie. . . Do zombies have that much judgment or intelligence?”
“Zombies don’t have intelligence unless it’s the king of the undead or something. That’s not an ordinary undead. It looks like they’re chanting something, and they’re intelligent. . .”
Ursch-kun pointed that out, and I look closely at the zombies, it’s true that some of them are chanting something. However, they seem to be distracted by [Land Mine] which moves around randomly and can’t assemble the chanting well. On the contrary, when they focused on chanting, [Land Mine] moved under their feet and exploded.
Land mines that crawl under your feet are new. It’s a threat as long as you can’t fly in the sky.
By the way, Alice-chan is not alone. Chris-sama is also there. Chris-sama was shooting zombies that were running away from Alice-chan’s mine shaped bombing magic one after another from the carriage of the knights with a bombing magic equipped bow.
While I looked around for Geese and Brian, Alice-chan noticed us running.
“Ahhhhh, it’s Bella-chan!! Bella-chan! There was a pig! A pig wearing a necklace brought a lot of undead. The undead wearing necklaces are smart and are easy to make angry, so please be careful!”
A pig?
Why is a pig leading the undead?
I can’t understand what Alice-chan is saying, and while I was thinking about it with my head tilted, Ursch-kun laughed like he was troubled and asked me.
“Maybe too many things happened with Isabella and Lucy-ojousama, have you forgotten the existence of the Colors Collector?”
“Huh? . . . Oh, there was such an enemy.”
“Isabella, don’t forget the most important enemy. Well, I’m by your side and I remember, so there’s no problem if you forget it.”
Yes, that’s right.
In the first place, we were chasing the Colors Collector. The original purpose was pushed out of my memory. If I didn’t have a smart partner named Ursch-kun, I might have forgotten about the existence of a Colors Collector forever. In many ways, I couldn’t live a decent life after crossing over without Ursch-kun.
“Ursch-kun, stay by my side without abandoning me for all time.”
“Naturally.”
Is it natural? Is that so? Hehehe
“So, back to the story, the pig Alice-sama saw is the Colors Collector wearing a pig’s scalp. In other words, isn’t it Viscount Hillson that we should defeat?”
“Ah~. . . . Viscount Hillson.”
I kind of remembered that the identity of the Colors Collector is a viscount, but was his name Hillson? I don’t remember at all.
“Isabella. . . You forgot half of Viscount Hillson, didn’t you?”
“. . .Yeah.”
No, I’m sorry for being a fiancĂ©e with a really bad memory. If that’s the case, I can’t marry a merchant, so I should at least train the ability to memorize people.
While I was having such a conversation with Ursch-kun, the last zombie here exploded, and the Alice-chan Chris-sama pair and the necklace zombie group were settled.
After Alice-chan erased the remaining bombing magic, she ran straight to me, weaving between knights and adventurers who were trying to pat her while complimenting her. Chris-sama jumped out of the carriage and chased after her with an unpleasant gaze on the knights and adventurers who were trying to pat Alice-chan.
I wonder why that is. . . I wonder if some of the people who tried to pat Alice-chan were pedophiles.
By the way, Chris-sama, who isn’t fully healed yet and looks at them unpleasantly with dead eyes without any light, seems like a yandere who is crazy with jealousy and recognized them as enemies, and it’s scary in a way. The inside is gentle and has a gentle sense of justice, but it looks like a gap called yandere. Usually the direction of the gap is the opposite, isn’t it? Most people judge others by their appearance, so his yandere-like appearance will prevent human relationships.
Get better soon, those dead eyes.
While I was looking at the intimidating Chris-sama and the adults who noticed Chris-sama’s gaze, Alice-chan rushed into me without slowing down. It’s nothing for a 6-year-old Alice-chan to rush into me, but I thought she would stop in front of me, so I was surprised while accepting it. Alice-chan, who rushed in vigorously, rubbed her cheeks against me as she held onto me.
“Ahhh. Bella-chan was safe. . . I’m glad. I wanted to go help Bella-chan, but a strange pig brought a lot of undead, the city was so busy that I couldn’t find Bella-chan. . . I was worried.”
“Thank you. Thank you for your concern, Alice-chan.”
I stroked Alice-chan’s back as she rubbed her cheeks against me in tears because she was worried. I understand very well that my best friend Alice-chan was really worried about me. I’m very happy.
I’m very happy, but I think it’s about time to stop rubbing your cheeks against me.
I can’t stand it because Ursch-kun is looking at Alice-chan with a gaze that seems as if he will click his tongue any moment. I’m happy about that, but Chris-sama tilts his head with dead eyes and stares at me, so I’m really scared. Chris-sama doesn’t intend to intimidate me or recognize me as an enemy, but I’m afraid to be stared at by those dead eyes. I try not to judge people by their appearance, but I’m afraid of scary things.
So, move away Alice-chan.
However, Alice-chan doesn’t move because she can’t understand my feelings. When I asked Ursch-kun for help with troubled eyes, Ursch-kun nodded with a big healing smile, and then he grabbed Alice-chan’s shoulder and peeled her off me.
. . . Oh. You can’t use your ability.
I wonder what it was, I wonder if he was jealous and couldn’t stomach it. What’s that? Embarrassing. After Alice-chan has been torn off, Ursch-kun asks her,
“I have something I want to ask Alice-sama. Geese-sama, Trevor-niisama, Ah, and also Brian, where did they go?”
I haven’t been involved with Brian, who was treated as unimportant by Ursch-kun, but I feel sorry for him.
Alice-chan responds leisurely while tilting her head to the question.
“The pig took them away.”
“Huh? The pig took them?”
No, no, no Alice-chan.
You easily told a ridiculous fact.
“Yes. Geese-sama launched a magic attack against the pig and the undead, but the magic didn’t work at all on the pig. So Brian-sama cut it with a sword, but. . . the pig is strong with his bare hands, and he can use magic. The pig dodged Brian-sama and in no time took him because he had red hair. Then Geese-sama used magic against the pig, but even though it hit, it didn’t work and Geese-sama lost. So, he was taken because he had blue hair, but Chris-sama and I were safe because we had black and blonde hair that isn’t uncommon.”
Yes. This is the explanation of a 6-year-old child. I know what you mean, but it’s hard to hear because it doesn’t make a point. No, is this still easy to understand for someone this age? The only target of comparison I have for six-year-olds is cheat Ursch-kun, so I don’t know the average.
For the time being, I found that Brian and Geese were defeated by the Colors Collector.
I don’t know the current level of Geese and Brian, but there’s no way they can win against the Colors Collector. Even with the seven 18-year-old high spec Geese, Brian, Chris-sama, the heroine I raised as high as I could, and the other capture targets, I lost dozens of times.
Ursch-kun, who was listening to Alice-chan’s story nodded as if he was convinced.
“After all, if you don’t do something about the magic tool made of the pig’s scalp, it’s difficult to win even with Alice-chan’s bombing magic. It’s going to absorb the magic attack and convert it into his own MP. I wonder if it’s natural for Geese-sama, who mainly uses magic to attack, to lose.”
“But if all it can absorb is magic attacks, and physical attacks work, Alice’s bombing magic should be effective.”
Alice-chan and Chris-sama tilted their heads at my words.
“What? But just now, Ursch-kun said it absorbs magic attacks and makes them MP. . . Bombing magic is also magic, isn’t it?”
Yes. That’s right.
But if you don’t apply it directly to the Colors Collector, he can’t absorb it. Ursch-kun, who seems to have been thinking the same thing, explains for me.
“Well~. In other words, what Isabella is saying is that she doesn’t have to ‘attack’ directly with bombing magic. For example, blowing up the roof on the pig’s head and destroying it? The collapsed roof is not ‘attack magic’, is it? In a way, it will be a physical attack.”
“Waaaaah!! In other words, when the pig is nearby, can I bomb the building as much as I want?”
That’s not good.
“Ah. That’s. . . That’s right, that’s fine.”
Ursch-kun looked far away and threw away the words of denial and the continuation of the explanation.
That’s amazing, Alice-chan. Making Ursch-kun give up on something.
Good luck, don’t give up Ursch-kun.
At this rate, Alice-chan will be able to make an excuse to bomb a wide area in the capital. Besides, the Colors Collector may not be in a building, and if you think about it, Geese and the others may get involved in the building’s collapse.
Anyway, the magic tool that absorbs magic attacks is the problem. We have to do something about the equipped pig scalp. . .
“Ah!! That’s right!! It’s okay, Ursch-kun. All I have to do is take away the spell on that pig’s head with [Gluttony Collection] ! Then the magic attack will work!”
If you think about it, my [Glutteny Collection] can quickly take away the spell he’s wearing. It’s like when I took away the pants that Chris-sama had equipped!!
“That’s impossible. Because [Gluttony Collection] has no effect on living creatures.”
“Creatures? No, I’m not talking about the Colors Collector himself, I’m trying to take away the spell. . .”
Then Ursch-kun tilted his head with his arms folded, and after a while, he looked like he noticed something.
“Ah, I see. Isabella doesn’t know how that spell was made.”
Isabella actually forgot bout the colors collector and that it was Viscount Hillson. I didn’t expect that considering how she was so upset when Ursch first explained it all to her.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
