Chapter 8: 007 I Heads -3
“Charlotte, how are you feeling?”
An auntie and grandma came closer to check up on Charlotte’s current condition, and asked her
“Oh one down That’s a relief Why don’t you lie down for a little while longer?”
“YouHere, have a potato at least We only have these right now”
The auntie gave her a plate with a potato and a kitchen knife on top of it Charlotte felt confused and flustered by these ladies and their nursing attempts
What happened? Where was she? Why was she here? What about her mom? Her dad…?
As her unbridled confusion intensified, she shi+elded her forehead frorew more flustered…
“Kyaaaahk!!”
Someone suddenly screamed out
Charlotte was startled awake and she reflexively shot up fro outside the hile backing away in fear
“They… they’re co! No! They’re already here!”
All the women inside the monastery looked outside their closest s Charlotte too had quickly shi+fted her gaze outside and observed the current situation
She saw nu towards the monastery There were so many of them too
The corew as pale as a white sheet Some screamed while a few others hurriedly looked around the area, perhaps searching for a place to hide
However, Charlotte reacted differently from them
‘Zorasped the kitchen knife next to the potato, just before she started dashi+ng towards the monastery’s exit The womenfolk were stunned by her actions and quickly stopped her by hugging her froerous outside!”
“Youto stop her, they ended up getting dragged forward instead Charlotte see step
This was a display of sheer physical strength that no 16-year-old girl could produce The boys watching this scene play out also intervened and they finally ed to stop her
“Uh? Uhh?”
Charlotte flinched in surprise and ungainly flailed about A part of this was because she finally lost out in strength, but at the same time, she didn’t want to accidentally harm the others with the knife
This hy she stopped struggling Even then, her gaze remained fixed outside theHer wide-open eyes were locked on a certain ‘boy’ standing outside the building
She saw hi his shovel
And then, he slammed it down
The head of a zoround
“What are you all doing?! Aim for their heads! This ain’t the ti the corpses or whatever!”
The boy’s yell prorit their teeth and start swinging with their faran to land on the zoh, soainst the zorabbed the back of thethe shovel It landed splendidly against a zoround The boy raised his shovel high up and sht deeply stunned Charlotte
A boy about the saer even, was stepping up to hunt down the zoer ot time to complain about the pain, then kill one more zombie instead!”
His lared at the boy, but still, they attacked the zombies nevertheless
One by one, they took down the pack of undead
These slow-footed, staggering zoated unbelievably easily
The boy ed to stand by leaning against his shovel, his breathing heavy and rough
It was around then, the ladies that stopped Charlotte earlier clicked their tongues
“What’s this? That Imperial Prince-nim, he kne to hunt zombies?”
“Well, he’s a prince from the Imperial Family, so of course he should kno to hunt down zombies”
The still-scared ladies continued to chat ah
He was an Iht about it, she did hear about a runani Imperial Prince-nio
She locked her gaze at the boy’s back once more
(TL: In 1st person POV)
The villagers bellowed out screa tools held in their hands to stab and smash down Every time this happened, the zombies’ skulls were crushed and shattered
As rotting flesh splattered everywhere, the villagers backed aith expressions unco were extreently scanning the 100 or so zombie corpses strewn about everywhere So any spare energy left to even re up
Others e, too The respective corpses h everyone suffered froainst the zombie attack
I confirers Some were injured, but no one died
“Now that’s a relief”
I stabbed the shovel on the ground, leaned h
This was tough Seriously tough
If I kneas in store forthat ga part-time job instead It’d been infinitely more preferable than this ‘Necrolares just to use a skill or two
Alternatively, hoonderful would it have been if I arrived in this place as a superh skill proficiency too
“You worked hard, your highness”
One of the far a leather waterskin filled ater
“Oh, thanks”
I gladly received it and washedall of this, I kept glancing at the farh [Mind’s Eye], I confirmed his name
“You said your name was Gril?”
The farmer Gril flinched and asked back with a puzzled expression “Did I tell you hness?”
“Yeah, you have”
Nope, you haven’t
Maybe he was happy about rateful expression on his face “Thank you, your highness”
“There’s no need to thank me”
“However, an Imperial Family member remembered the name of a measly farmer like me, so I…”
“Hey ard Leta farmer is an important job”
Gril seemed to be a bit stunned After a few seconds, he nodded his head energetically, looking as if he was flustered
Now that I think about it, didn’t this guy take away that girl who got infected earlier?
