Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 89: Turned Childish

「This place… Could it be…?」

I resolved myself and jumped into the hole that was created in the white room, coming out to a rather familiar place.

I came out in the underground space from which I entered the white space via the mysterious gate.

The place was deserted right now. There was no light in this place too, but no doubt about it, this was the same place.

「Did I just… return…? Seriously?」

Unintentionally, I laughed with delight.

「HAHAHAHAHAHA! COMING OUT FROM THAT PLACE TURNED OUT TO BE EASIER THAN I THOUGHT! AND HERE I THOUGHT THAT I COULDN’T LEAVE THAT PLACE LIKE WHAT THAT DEVIL CLAIMED!!」

That devil must have been lying about being unable to leave.

Not to mention that he almost tricked me.

I knew that there wouldn’t be any problems physically even if I got trapped in that place, but I lost my cool and wanted to leave that place, fearing what that place might cause to my sanity.

Rather, I wanted to get out of this country as soon as possible.

Since I’d already left that place, now it was time to escape.

Since things would get really troublesome if I met someone along the way, I focused my hearing on the entrance of this place.

Yup, the coast was clear.

I walked along the deserted corridor.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the front.

I hid myself behind the pillar and then realized that a priest was coming from the other side.

Fortunately, the priest failed to notice my presence and passed by just like that.

And just as I heaved a sigh of relief, that priest walked in my direction.

「Is it just… my imagination?」

But then, that priest just tilted his head in puzzlement and left.

T-That was close…

Currently, I was clinging to the ceiling.

I managed to escape the predicament since I jumped up as soon as I sensed that the priest suddenly changed his walking direction toward my position.

The reason why I was trying so hard to hide myself was that there was nothing covering my lower half right now.

Had he looked up, it would turn into an extremely embarrassing situation.

I’d have to secure trousers and pants from somewhere again.

Otherwise, I really couldn’t escape from this place even if I flew in the sky.

I mean, God knew who would see me flying out of this place while exposing my lower half. It would be really embarrassing.

Not to mention that I was flying.

After that, I walked carefully along the corridor and then arrived in another corridor with many doors lining up along the way.

「This place is…」

Maybe this was some sort of lodging place for the priests or pilgrims who came to visit.

Thus, I was convinced that I could secure clothing from this place.

Fortunately, this place was devoid of people right now.

I opened the door closest to me and intruded into the room.

It was a small and simple room. Maybe because it was intended for a single person, there was only one simple bed, a desk, and a cabinet.

「There you are.」

Thus, I discovered pants and trousers in the cabinet.

I tried to put it on quickly… but…

「It’s… huge.」

Unfortunately, the size was twice as big as mine.

It would slip down with ease the moment I let go of the hand that was holding it.

「Shall I try another room then?」

And that moment…

I felt a presence approaching from the corridor, which stopped right in front of this room.

Did the owner of this room already return?!

The other party turned the doorknob and then entered the room.

「Uh…? The cabinet looks… strange. I’m sure that it was closed before I left, but…」

The one who approached the cabinet while tilting his head in puzzlement was a plump, middle-aged man.

Eh, he seemed… rather familiar…

Although I managed to get away from the man’s line of sight by clinging on the ceiling again, God knew when he would look up at the ceiling.

Fortunately, he left his door wide open.

I quickly jumped out of the room as soon as the man was distracted by his cabinet as he said 「My pants and trousers… are gone?」

I had no leeway to supply myself with appropriately sized clothes from the other room.

I left that place in a hurry while still wearing saggy pants and trousers.

「It’s oversized, but it doesn’t really matter as long as it covers my private parts.」

Thus, I entered another building.

Currently, I was hiding behind the thickets while surveying the situation.

If I flew from this place, I might be able to leave this place ASAP.

「…」

But then, where would I go after I left this place?

Naturally, I had no idea.

They lied to me and sent me into that mysterious white room. The reason they did that might be that they judged it was impossible to purify me, or it could simply be that it was the fastest way to get rid of me.

If it was the latter, it meant that there was still a possibility that they might be able to purify me…

「No, it’s still too fast to be that confident… But looking for another solution sounds troublesome… I won’t be troubled with trying to look for someone who’s willing to talk to me… Ah, the female Holy Knight… No, wait a minute. That girl is the very same person who led me into this trap…」

Because my mind was wandering around, I failed to notice a presence approaching me.

「There you are, suspicious guy!」

「??!!」

A voice came from above my head.

When I raised my face, the one who came into my sight was a familiar-looking woman.

「You should be that…」

「This smell! You’re an undead!」

「!!」

「Undead must be purified!」

She looked like someone in the latter half of her twenties, and yet she talked like a kid.

There was this uncomfortable feeling as if she was a kid trapped in an adult body.

「Divine Sword Albeeert!」

The next moment, a sword appeared in the hand of the woman.

This sword… looked rather familiar.

Ah, this woman was the commander of the Holy Knight Order.

She almost managed to purify me twice with the divine sword that was powered by the prayers of the believers. Alas, both attempts ended in failure.

「I shall purify you noooow!」

…She shouldn’t have spoken like a kid though.
