“Goo. oh oh oh oh… … . Gooooo.”
Undead Number 1 swayed back and forth, barely balancing itself. It was like a child about to start walking. The appearance is not lovely or cute at all.
“Ooh, it moves… … . You seem to be doing something you shouldn’t be doing.”
“It’s not even a person, it’s just a monster. You don’t have to think too hard.”
While jokingly responding to Dimitri, who had a slightly tired expression, I gazed at Undead Number 1. Standing on the ground, Undead No. 1 stayed idly and then started walking somewhere.
“Wow!! Don’t come this way!!”
Ber hastily ran away, hugging Ethel. The undead number 1 arrived at the place where Ber was a while ago,
“Goo.”
I picked up a pickaxe that was scattered on the floor. And it moved around in a hurry somewhere.
“Mining… … Do you want to do something?”
“Isn’t it? The undead basically tend to do what they did when they were alive. Even if there is no soul, the body remembers something.”
To Caspal’s question, Ethel answered while spinning around Undead Unit 1. Undead #1 stopped moving and stared blankly at Ethel, who circled around him (though he had no eyes).
“Ethel. How long will this guy last?”
“Does it feel like you’ll last quite a while? Rather, it might be stronger than a normal kobold.”
“A raw kobold, that expression makes me feel very repulsed… … .”
Ver’s body trembled as if he was getting chills. Undead Number 1 just stood there blankly.
“It doesn’t move beyond this. Why are you doing this?”
Dimitri looked on with interest and asked.
“Okay. You don’t even seem to know where to go.”
Even if he had been resurrected as an undead all by himself, he would not know what to do even if his body remembered his movements now that he had no soul. I pondered for a moment.
“Katyusha. Can you find the corpse of the kobold that seemed to be the boss?
“boss… … ? oh. I blew my head off, are you okay?”
“It’s okay if you bring your head. I’m sorry I made you do messy things.”
“it’s okay. I’m a servant, but I can’t have someone else do it.”
Katyusha started looking for the corpse of the leader, the kobold.
“uh… … Is it possible to lead as the boss kobold?”
Ber raised his hand as if he was nervous and asked.
“maybe. why?”
“but… … If you don’t use your soul, wouldn’t it be unreasonable to make a system or make complicated commands come out? It doesn’t matter if you say you use souls, but it seems like it will be difficult to handle them properly… … .”
Even though I was afraid, it was really good that I was thinking about whether or not I could use it properly.
“I don’t use my soul. There is a simpler way than that.”
Of course, that case had already been fully considered.
“A simple way?”
“You just need to simplify the command.”
After giving a brief answer, I winked at Ethel and passed on the explanation.
“Kobolds are lower creatures in the first place, even if they live in groups, they are more like ants than humans.”
As if waiting, Ethel took over my words and explained.
“The boss gives orders. subordinates follow it. It is an act imprinted in the kobold’s instinct. It’s not really a social commitment or anything like that. It’s just decided that way.”
“Um… … . You may know, or you may not know. It’s complicated. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have studied Mamulology more.”
Berg tilted his head and circled around Undead 1 from a distance.
“It’s pretty serious for what I was afraid of.”
“Looking at it, it was kind of fun. Considering that I used the chaos that led to death, it’s similar to the chaos I’ve been working hard on lately. Umm… … . Oh, I should have brought the notebook.”
Ber is basically stupid, but surprisingly has an excellent passion for learning. Is it a problem if the problem is that the passion for learning is not being displayed in a way that is good for recognition?
‘Talents that can be used… … Should I say ‘?’
“Here is the corpse of the boss. Can I lay it down?”
“ah. great job. Then let’s try it.”
The head and torso detached kobold Katyusha brought looked like a cheap and tasteless version of Dullahan. In my heart, I named the boss Kobold Durahan and used the secret art of the earth.
“hmm… … . It’s difficult.”
The connection between the neck and the body was not very good. If I pick it up and match it myself, it might stick well, but I didn’t want to touch it because it was a little uncomfortable, so I tried without touching it.
With that thought in mind, I did everything I could, and I thought I was right, so I roughly injected chaos with Chaosium——.
“Big, uh… … ? oh?”
Only the head fell off as if the connection wasn’t working properly, but even so, it moved and made something like a durahan. He was holding his own head, as if he was wearing a Halloween costume.
“Well, it seems that something is harming the dignity of life… … .”
“hmm. This… … A little, okay.”
“Honestly, you have bad taste.”
“Don’t play too much with the corpse. You will be punished.”
Everyone sent their eyes to see if it was not a little.
“No, you didn’t do it on purpose, did you? It just happened like this.”
“… … I think it’s pretty funny.”
What else do you think is fun? Anyway, Dyurahan, who was holding his head with both hands, started screaming in a daze.
“Goo! Gooooooo!!”
I almost laughed involuntarily at the bizarre appearance as if he was holding a speaker. If you laugh at something like this, I think your personality will be greatly questioned.
“… … hum, hmm Hmmm. Great.”
Meanwhile, Katyusha was desperately holding back a laugh. I thought he was a kid who doesn’t smile, but wouldn’t it be a little different if he laughed in a scene like this?
“Goo! Gooooooo!!”
Anyway, as the boss screamed, Undead Number 1, who had been absent-mindedly nearby, hurriedly ran and stood in front of him. And after having a strange conversation, Undead No. 1 looked around and started looking for a place to sell the land.
With this, the high-level command structure seemed to have been completed. It would take some setting to decide what kind of ore to gather where, but you can do it leisurely.
“Something seems to have happened, but… … Wouldn’t two be enough?”
“of course. I intend to use all the kobolds I killed today.”
“Uh. It must be difficult.”
Ver did not know if it was comforting or cheering, and said. This is not a story about someone else.
“So, can you draw something like an amplification circle of magical power?”
“yes yes?! What is the secret art of the earth, this is my first time seeing it?”
“Have you done a lot of complicated things up until now? Wouldn’t it be possible to draw amplification enough?”
“No, even if you suddenly ask me to draw it, I’m embarrassed! Of course, I know the outline, but I don’t know enough to apply it yet… … !”
“are you okay. You can do it. Did you understand the chaos in an instant? If I explain it well, I’ll be able to do something.”
“Ber can do enough. Because Ber is a genius.”
I glanced over and Ethel nodded in agreement. Ber was increasingly cornered and did not know what to do.
“Even if you praise yourself as a genius, you say that difficult things are difficult… … . I’ll listen to the story first.”
It is also weak against pushing. Caspal and Dimitri gave Ber a pitying look.
Then about 3 hours later.
“hehehehe, hehehehe. hehehe. I can’t move anymore… … . I’m tired… … .”
After drawing a huge and complicated magic circle around the collected kobold corpses, Ver sat down in exhaustion.
“good job. Also Berya. great.”
Ethel stroked the head of Ver, who sat down saying he did well. Ber said that he thought he would die after sticking to Ethel’s arms. No matter how you look at it, seeing him clinging to a kid who looks much younger than himself makes me feel very disturbed.
“With this magic circle, you can cover everything at once, right?”
“In theory, yes. If done wrong, there is a very small chance that they will mix together and become a gigantic abominable golem, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
“… … Well, I’d rather not.”
There is no other way to come here. I caught my breath and made a body using the secret arts of the earth on the corpse of a kobold in a nearby magic circle, and then the same thing started happening to the other corpse.
“oh… … . This is pretty great.”
It was quite a spectacle to see the bodies of the kobolds being made with soil at the same time. It was like a grade B horror movie.
“good. Then use the caiosium… … .”
“Please pay attention to the output. If it explodes by mistake, it will be annihilated.”
“… … that’s really scary Be careful.”

I released the chaosium with much more concentration than before. As the number is a number, it required a considerable amount of chaos, and sending it out with a stable output required considerable concentration.
“Whoa. Is this the end?”
I barely finished the injection of chaos and retrieved the chaosium into my arms. I feel a little lighter. Considering the difference between the amount absorbed and the amount consumed, it’s probably because of my mood.
“Gooooooooooo… … .”
“Goo. Gooooo.”
“Gooooo… … .”
The undead kobold troop staggered to their feet, and the leader of the kobold, who was busy standing in front of him, started shouting something using his head as a speaker. And they started preparing for a large-scale mining operation. It was just like an RTS game.
‘All that’s left is to set the level of where the ore will be collected by the boss kobold.’
Probably, the lifespan of undead kobolds is half a year if it is short, or about a year if it is long. It would be enough to visit regularly on a semi-annual basis, manage it appropriately, and replenish the number of personnel.
‘I don’t know if there will be a territorial fight with other common kobolds, but these guys probably won’t lose.’
You won’t be able to verify it unless you try it once. Then, if you want something to go awry,
“Why, why are you looking at me again?! What else are you going to do?!”
If I leave it to Ber, it will work out somehow. He’s a talented guy.
I felt like a bit of a bad boss.
After finishing the preparations for the undead kobold, we finally got on the carriage to go to the academy.
In the carriage on the way back, everyone was relieved, the fatigue they had been enduring, and all fell asleep. I also dozed off without much difference.
Did it run for half a day like that? The spire of the knight academy was starting to show very little.
“… … Nothing strange would have happened in the meantime.”
It felt like a long time because of the high density of the incident, but if you look at the time, it was about a week. Although it took a long time compared to the average quest completion period. Maybe it was a strange misunderstanding.
At the knight academy, which has returned after such a long time,
“Are you finally back… … .”
For some reason, Proud was welcoming me with a pale face.
It seems that something very bad happened.
