Chapter 6 (1/2)

The Mysterious Skeleton

“”KA KA KA! You s.h.i.+ts who are deceived by a s.h.i.+t woman! I’m sorry but I’ll have you return my precious thing(woman)!””

“”Don’t screw with us! Like we will hand over our country’s Holy Maiden over to a demon like you!””

“”Haa! You s.h.i.+ts that don’t even know how your Holy Maiden-sama is being treated by your country! You guys! To the s.h.i.+ts who wors.h.i.+ps carefreely without even knowing how the Holy Maiden who’s in front of their eyes is being treated, slam all your resentment into them! Remember what was done to you by the country! Anger and resentment, unleash all your hatred! “”

“……What was that?”

Memories that don’t belong to me flowed in my head. A black hair guy who wore a black robe is, bringing along zombies and skeletons¹, a.s.sailing the human army. Who on earth do these memories belong to.

“Yoo, woken up?”

When I was troubled by the memories that I don’t know of, I hear a voice from the side. Turning towards the voice, the skeleton wearing a black robe who came just now is sitting on a chair……

That’s right, what about Kaa-san!?

I tried getting up from the bed I was sleeping in before the skeleton said anything but, because I have no fingers with all of them cut off, my right eye smashed and wasn’t able to grasp the sense of distance with one eye, I fell from the bed. I couldn’t put any strength into my leg, I also can’t hear anything from my surroundings.

“Good grief, don’t rush. Here”

The skeleton waves his finger while still sitting and, from the ground comes another skeleton. This is a skeleton huh. Although not to the extent of the skeleton in front of me, it has a staggering atmosphere. It’s definitely no ordinary skeleton.

The new skeleton that came out, walks over while showing a refined behaviour that is unthinkable from the boorish appearance. Then, it returned me who has fallen on the ground back on to the bed without feeling any pain. As though it has gotten used to it.

Then, the black robe skeleton who came to my side before I noticed, has both its hands holding my head.

Wh, what? When the magic from the skeleton flows, somehow the spot where my ears were are feeling itchy. Being held from the back so that I wouldn’t move and

“Can you hear, boy?”

And, I can hear voices. I thought ‘Eh?’ and touched the spot where the skeleton was touching before and, there are ears attached. Even though they should’ve been cut off by the villagers.

I didn’t understand anything and was still bewildered when, this time my hand without fingers were taken. Grabbing my right hand, the skeleton with its right hand, did something like joining something to the thumb portion of my right hand that has no finger.

Seeing that, I tried to pull my hand back without thinking. Though the skeleton‘s hand that was grabbing on to mine is stronger so I couldn’t move. What the skeleton held, was my fingertip that was cut off.

Affixing the cut end of fingertips to the cut end of my hands was a squirmish sight that felt unpleasant but, after affixing it together, it affixed beautifully as though there was no wound before. When I try moving it, it moves normally.

To the other places of the surprised me, the skeleton affixed the fingers one after another. Amazing, I don’t feel anything out of place. It feels the same as before it was cut off.
