Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 64: I Could Enter Smoothly Without Having to Worry About a Sneak Attack

===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===

「Ah, welcome back, Onee-chan, White Onii-chan!」

After we left the city, we finally arrived back in one corner of the ruined city, the refuge of the slum children.

They were probably worrying nonstop since the female Holy Knight suddenly vanished for no reason.

「I mean, Onee-chan suddenly vanished in the morning, and then so did Onii-chan!」

「Sorry to make you guys worry so much. As you can see, I’m safe and sound.」

「Hehehe, you two seem to be enjoying your time togethe~r.」

「W-What are you talking about? We’re not doing anything!」

The face of the female Holy Knight who got teased by the kids turned as red as a tomato.

「Eh? Onii-chan, what do they mean by “enjoying your time together”?」

「Hahaha, it’s s-e-c-r-e-t.」

「E~h, why~?」

「It’s still too early for you.」

「Fine then! Since you don’t want to tell me, I’m going to ask Onee-chan to tell me!」

「H-Hold on! Don’t ask me! I mean, we really are not trying to hide something from you guys!」

By the way, I heard their conversation from a slightly separated place.

The reason why the siblings were focused on the female Holy Knight was because they knew that they wouldn’t get juicy news from someone with abysmal communication skills like me.

…I felt conflicted since this was the first time I felt grateful for my lack of communication skills.

「By the way, we’re going to leave this place soon.」

「E~h? Noo! Please stay with us!」

「Hey, don’t be unreasonable to them. They must have their own circumstances, you know.」

The big brother then played the villain role by separating his little sister who was throwing a tantrum at the female Holy Knight.

「U~h, then, promise me that you’re going to visit us again!」

「Yes, I understand. We’ll be back later for a visit.」

「You too, White Onii-chan!」

「…」

I tried to nod silently, but then, I remembered that I might not be able to come again later.

I mean, I was on my way toward the Holy Country along with the female Holy Knight to purify myself.

…Even without such a reason, it was literally impossible for a shy person like me to come specially to this city to meet these kids.

Thus, after finishing saying our parting goodbyes with the kids, we departed to the Romana Kingdom.

The Romana Kingdom seemed to be the name of the kingdom which I visited first, the one whose capital was assaulted by the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

「We can find many ways to go to the Holy Country from the Romana Kingdom. Moreover…」

「…Moreover?」

「There’s someone who wants to meet you in person.」

I couldn’t help but frown upon hearing such a remark.

Because of my abysmal communication skills, simply knowing that I was going to meet someone was enough to make me exhausted mentally.

「You’re an unkillable undead. What can make you so scared like that?」

「…Surely, my physical body might’ve become extremely powerful, but… the same couldn’t be said for my mentality…」

「Don’t worry about it. You’ve already met that person once before.」

「…It made me feel even worse when I heard that I’d met that person before.」

Even if we’d already met once before, the result would be the same no matter how many times we met thanks to my abysmal communication skill.

「Good grief, what a troublesome undead.」

The female Holy Knight heaved a deep sight as if she was really dumbfounded upon hearing my reply.

「We finally meet again.」

「…」

A few days after we parted ways with the kids…

We finally arrived in the Romana Kingdom’s royal capital.

「Is something the matter? Why are you looking in the air?」

「…Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.」

I fought the golden dragon around this area.

That was why I raised my vigilance since those two dragons might come down from the sky again.

Fortunately, their presence wasn’t in this royal capital, but…

The last time I came to this place, there was an entire army lined up in front of the entrance gate, but now, the travelers and merchants were passing by peacefully.

「C-Can I really enter… this city?」

「Don’t worry. I’ve told you before that you can enter peacefully as long as you don’t say anything. No one will realize your identity.」

「…」

By the way, I was currently wearing a hooded robe like the ones magicians usually wore.

Its hood could hide my face, but if there was an inspection at the entrance, I would most likely be discovered at once thanks to my unique white hair and red eyes.

In addition, it seemed that my appearance was already well known.

No, it wasn’t just the matter of appearance.

It had already become well known that the being called No Life King, aka me, was an extremely dangerous being.

A disaster-class monster.

One wrong move from my side could result in that class being upgraded to a great disaster-class monster.

No no no, that was nonsense. I’m a kind and friendly undead, you know?!

But like, when did I commit atrocities?

Upon thinking carefully, maybe because that necromancer hated me or simply because he wanted to spread chaos in this world, he told such a big fat lie on the verge of his death. And that ba*stard’s lie was the main reason for my current situation.

That fu*cking b*stard…

「Naturally, that’s not the only reason… Your own actions ended up backfiring on you… Well, it’s also your fault for intimidating the other party with that ominous smile of yours.」

「…Is my smile really that horrible?」

「Did you forget that the Empress passed out because of that smile?」

「Urgh…」

She passed out, and her heart stopped beati—… Nope, the latter must just be my imagination.

Yeah, no doubt about it.

We finally arrived in front of the Castlegate as we had that kind of conversation.

It seemed you needed some sort of license to enter, but… Did I have that kind of thing with me?

The female Holy Knight called out to the person in charge of checking visitors at the gate.

「Your entrance permit.」

「Please confirm.」

「T-This permit… Y-You may enter.」

The attitude of the checker has turned around upon seeing the presented permit.

There was no need to check our luggage either. He stepped back to give way to us.

But as expected, he had no intention of letting me pass that easily just because I came with her.

「M-My apologies, but what about your companion?」

「He’s my slave.」

「I-I see.」

「Is something the matter?」

「N-No, not at all.」

In the end, we passed the castle gate without a hitch or proper questioning.

「As expected of the permit I got directly from the Hero King. He prepared this beforehand in case I brought you back with me to meet him again.」

The female Holy Knight spoke with admiration.

Rather, it felt like she just said a really important name, but…

「Hero… King?」

「Come to think of it, I have yet to tell you about this, huh. The one who wanted to meet you is the king of this kingdom.」

…EH?
