Summary
On the way to the youngest sibling’s academy entrance ceremony, there’s a carriage accident—and all the siblings die.
So, what should the only survivor do next?
Cry their eyes out
Build graves
The correct answer is:
3) Bring them back as zombies.
“To put it simply… your current state is kind of like a zombie.”
That was basically a bombshell.
“…A zombie?”
“Yeah.”
“Like, ‘graaah,’ biting people? And if you bite someone, it spreads?”
“Zombie-like. Not an actual zombie.”
Even with my kind explanation, Yulia was totally speechless. And honestly, who wouldn’t be?
Dying in a carriage crash and coming back to life was shocking enough.
But finding out you’re a sort of zombie? Not even a proper one? Yeah, that’s a lot.
“I didn’t have a choice. It would’ve been better to ask for consent, but you were all dead. I’m sorry for turning you into zombies without asking.”
“That’s not the problem here!”
I really had no choice. I had the power to bring them back.
The real problem was this: dark mages are public enemies of the entire continent.
If I get caught, everyone connected to me gets executed.
As long as I don’t get caught, it’s fine!
Or so I thought.
“You can sense the dark magic.”
said the Crown Prince, asking me to help hunt dark mages.
“You keep avoiding me. Like someone who’s hiding something.”
said a saint who keeps getting closer, even though he clearly isn’t what he seems.
“How did you do it? I definitely killed them all.”
said a highly suspicious man with an unknown identity.
Please, just let me live quietly like a dead mouse!
