Chapter 412 1, 2, 3, 4

You bring them in now!? Im not in that much of a hurry.

Youre the one who told me to clear their schedule, Deris. Fortunately, they were at work today. Its just right to explain, isnt it?

Immediately after that conversation, Giorgia brought four hooded and masked guild staff to this room. I know I asked for it, but they acted too fast.

Ah, hello~

*Bow*

When Haru greeted the four, they bowed slightly at the same time. Even though they didnt say a word, it was clear enough to me that they are on good terms with Haru. It is quite unusual for them to respond to other peoples words.

What, you didnt tell her about Ii and the others, Deris?

I was going to tell her soon.

Shish?

Well, how should I put it. Let me introduce them to you again. Their names are, from left to right, Ii, Aru, San, and Suu (TLn: one, two, three, four). Just like Haru employing Gobuo with magic, Im employing these girls with magic. They are zombies, they cant speak, and they hide their faces, but you dont need to be afraid of them. They look like normal people after all.

Eh? U-Um, Shish?

I can guess what you want to ask, but I will listen just in case. What is it?

Youre employing humans, moreover they are women corpses. Isnt that something that will make Nell-san furious? Also, I think you have to question your naming sense.

The first half is plausible, but I dont want to be told that by Haru, who named a goblin Gobuo. It sounds strange if you call their names in succession, but its normal if you call them alone. Ii. Aru. San. Suu.

You dont have to worry about Nell. She and Alezel already know that Im employing them. Well, its a long story and its not something pleasant to hear, so I will omit the details. Theyre now working as dismantlers for the guild, and Im here to invite them since they will be fighting force. Thats all.

I-I see?

You dont seem to understand, huh. And while we are at it, the will be examples for strengthening Gobuo.

I see!

Different from the previous reaction, she was really interested in it. Gobuo has stopped growing for a long time, but now he will be able to go to the next stage. Im sure this is a very happy thing for Haru. Well, I also welcome it since he can be added to the fighting force. Since his job is a Hero, everything becomes a related skill, so I have high expectations for his growth speed.

Setting the invitation aside, when is the departure day? I have the receptionist work and other indispensable works, so you have to make it clear.

Hey, isnt the receptionist work unimportant no, its nothing.

Okay. Ill put it in the official notice from the country. Until then, Ii and the others can do their work as usual. Ah, thats right. If you dont get permission from the guild headquarters, let me know later. Ill do something behind the scenes.

Hoho, how reliable. Thats scary~.

Ii-san, Aru-san, San-san, Suu-san, lets do our best!

*Nod*

Haru shook hands with each of them, and they exaggeratedly swung their arms up and down. Ooh, its unusual for them to be excited and eager to do something. They are always reluctant whenever I give them instructions, so I feel somewhat complicated.

Then, Ill come again later. You guys, take care.

*Silent*

Hohoho! Deris, youre being ignored!

S-Shut up. They are not very responsive in the first place, so its normal!

See you~

.. *Wave hand*

They are waving their hands at Haruna-chan, though?

Its complicated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We returned to my house, which was moved to the garden of Nells mansion. Inside the house, Lilyvia is sleeping soundly on my bed, and Gobuo is cleaning the house.

Wow, it feels really nostalgic.

Me too!

Because weve been away from home for a long time, this mundane scene in my familiar house is comforting. But Lily, you should sleep in your room.

But Shish, is it really okay to come back now? I mean, you still have something to do, right? Like, trying to contact Alezel-san.

Well, you dont have to worry about it, Haru. More importantly, Gobuo.

Gobu?

When I called him, Gobuo stopped cleaning and came running to us. Ugh, Im so touched by Gobuos consideration. Its a mystery why the ones Im employing are so different from him.

Now, Haru, I have a question. How have you been employing Gobuo so far?

I was using the Dark Magic Vile, and now Im using the Darkness Magic Vitoll.

Thats right. Whats the difference between the two?

Err, I think that the ability will drop when using Vile, but the original ability will stay intact when using Vitoll. But in both cases, theres no growth through level up.

Good. Youre studying hard, arent you?

Ehehe.

I pat Harus head and compliment her.

Well, Harus Abyss Magic has exceeded level 40 recently. Now, Gobuo finally will be able to advance to the next stage.

The next stage, huh? Gulp!

Goburi!

(TLn: gulp () gokuri goburi)

Haru cant stop her excitement, and Gobuo gulped. Wait, goburi? What the hell is that sound!?

Shish, why are you pressing your eyebrows? Um, are you sick?

No problem. Ill just think of it as an auditory hallucination. Now, Haru. What magic does Gobuo need to advance to the next stage?

I think its level 30 Abyss Magic, Vengeance!

Nice try, but youre wrong. Vengeance is a magic that manipulates corpses on a large scale. The number increases dramatically, but they are disposable. They cant be maintained, and the orders that can be given are limited to simpler ones than Vile and Vitoll, though its depending on the ability of the user. You know, its the magic that I used to clean up the corpses of the army that Gobuo led a long time ago.

Ah, I remember! So it was a different kind of magic from Vile!

At that time, the zombies were ordered to jump into the flames by themselves after cleaning the battlefield. Its more efficient and hygienic to have them clean up themselves rather than doing it manually. The order I gave was simple and it was really a good method. Well, even though Gobuo has no memory of it, I dont think we should talk about it in front of him. Lets stop it now.

This time, I will have Haru use the level 40 Abyss Magic, Executioner. Its a magic that removes the growth restrictions of the corpse youre employing.

Oooooh!

Gobuuu!

Moreover, this magic has another characteristic. The experience that has been accumulated so far will bloom when Executioner is applied. In other words, his efforts doing housework under Haru until now are not wasted.

OOOOOHH!

GOBUUUU!

Heh, how strange. Only at this time, I feel like I can understand what Gobuo is saying. Its really strange.
