Chapter 113: Grave Robber – Shimizu Kazumi
“This!!!”
Smelling the pleasant aroma that wafted over, Kazumi couldn’t help but widen her eyes, staring intently at the coffin filled with countless piles of corpse bones before her, and the ghouls with their heads poking out pitifully from amidst the pile of corpse bones.
“Did you guys dig up the entire public cemetery!!!”
Kazumi was going crazy, what was all this!!!
The sheer number of corpse bones filling the entire space inside the coffin before her reached an almost terrifying degree. If one person slept in each grave, these two little guys had dug up almost half the public cemetery, otherwise, how could they have gathered so many.
After all, this public cemetery was quite old. Except for the recently buried deceased, the rest had probably been buried for a long time. How much space could those corroded bone frames take up?
She grabbed Little Black’s head, wanting to lift him up and teach him a lesson, but Little Black’s confused and innocent gaze made Kazumi remember that undead creatures don’t seem to feel pain.
Annoyed, she picked up an arm bone, belonging to no one in particular, and hit Little Black on the head. Kazumi angrily closed the coffin, crossed her arms, and sat back down on the chair.
Now that the deed was done, getting angry wouldn’t help. The most important thing was to resolve the matter. Also, if the matter was exposed, she needed to distance herself and the other person as much as possible. Her current situation couldn’t afford to be caught because of doing such a thing.
Otherwise, her hard-won peaceful life would be disrupted again. If there was no other way, who would want to join an organization that lived in darkness like that?
“I chose the timing just right, during the shift change for the night watchmen. Theoretically, the chance of the noise being discovered won’t be high, and even if it is discovered, according to the tradition of the night watchmen, they wouldn’t investigate immediately.”
“At that time, I was with Doggo. There were surveillance cameras in the shopping malls and intersections along the way. Even if it was investigated, I would have a perfect alibi. Plus, with Grandpa Sato’s good impression of me now, I shouldn’t be afraid of being directly caught.”
Gently patting her arm, Kazumi wasn’t flustered at all, calmly analyzing her current situation.
Her initial plan was to rely on the ghouls’ digging ability. Taking advantage of her having a reasonable and perfect travel plan and alibi this time, she remotely controlled the ghouls to dig out a small portion of corpse bones.
First, her ability improvement really needed a lot of corpse resources. Second, if the death energy in the [Black Coffin] increased, her control distance should be able to expand, giving her more remote operation space.
Moreover, there wasn’t just one city public cemetery, Kazumi had more choices to avoid being discovered for her actions.
“So why did these two傻憨憨 do the stupid thing of digging up the entire cemetery in one go? Am I naturally attracting these idiots around me?!!!”
Scratching her head frantically again, Kazumi couldn’t help but complain. After all, it wasn’t the first time she had meticulously planned everything only to have it ruined by an idiot!!
“Let me think, let me think…”
Complaining aside, after venting, Kazumi seriously recalled what she had done before, sorting out if anything had gone wrong. Even if it was discovered, she needed to think about remedial measures.
“I remember releasing the [Black Coffin] when I entered Daikanyama Street. The place I found was a blind spot in a park without surveillance, and the order given to the ghouls was to dig up corpses underground and bring them into the Black Coffin. According to the time planned before, by the time we slowed down and walked down this street, quite a few corpses should have been dug up. Everything seems to be fine.”
The young girl frowned, recalling her actions before in detail.
Then, her fair hand slapped her forehead fiercely.
“Done! I forgot to give the command to stop!!!”
Thinking of this, Kazumi finally discovered who the culprit was. After all, undead creatures are creatures without intelligence, only obeying their master’s commands. And she herself hadn’t given them the command to stop in time, so they faithfully executed the master’s original order.
The reason why the young girl didn’t have time to give the ghouls the command to stop, or why the time it took to walk down that street far exceeded her initial estimate, was because.
At that time, she was completely lost in the ambiguous atmosphere of being alone with him!!!!
Looking at the notebook before her with a bit of exhaustion, Kazumi didn’t know how to describe her feelings. Realizing that she herself was in the wrong after thinking it all through made her feel indescribable.
Perhaps she hadn’t emerged from the happy state of being alone with the young man yet. Even when she calmed down to think about problems, she didn’t consider that aspect at all, only thinking that the problem lay in her control of the undead creatures or the issuance of her commands.
Now the problem was solved, but Kazumi’s expression was as bitter as if she had eaten a lemon.
I understand the logic, but this matter cannot be solved. The problem is that this damn body gets mesmerized whenever it’s alone with Doggo. I can’t even control myself, let alone do anything else.
Having found the root cause, Kazumi leaned back in her chair, picked up the pen in her hand, and wanted to start writing something in the notebook. The pen suspended in the air paused for a long time before finally being put down.
Staring at her blurry reflection projected by the glass in front of the table in the night view, Kazumi sighed faintly, then picked up the pen again and heavily wrote the character ‘戒’ (jiè – to abstain, to refrain) in the upper right corner of the notebook. After thinking for a while, she added the name Sato Shinichi after ‘戒’.
Raising her hand to close the notebook, Kazumi breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the notebook aside, no longer thinking about that matter. Since things had already happened, there was no need to dwell on them excessively. What was more important now was how to convert what she had obtained this time into tangible benefits.
Her face showed a dazed expression, then became solemn again. She raised her hand and summoned the Black Coffin, looking at the panel floating above the black coffin, visible only to her, and began to ponder seriously.
