Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

“But I want it for myself!” Shouted Gofumin rather greedily; her goblin lineage was clearly showing itself now.

“Phantasmal flames shouldn’t hurt her, as long as Pyro doesn’t want to hurt her, I guess….” Said Lucifer.

“Well, we’ll see about that. For now, no mounts,” I said.

“Okay…” Sighed Gofumin.

“Come with mama….” I said as I grabbed the little, green-skinned girl with my arms, and she quickly cheered up as I carried her like my baby.

She was too cute to let her get upset like that.

“I was scared….” Said Gofumin again.

“Okay, calm down now. Were you too hyped with the blazing spider that you forgot that, and now it’s resurfacing?” I sighed.

Gofumin nodded a bit.

“Where’s your daddy at?” I wondered.

“I am here. Sorry for coming late. Gofumin was somewhere else, and when we were all pulled into the shadows, I was looking for her this entire time… Phew… Dear, come with me….” Sighed the Goblin Chief.

He arrived just in time as I asked for him. The Hobgoblin was panting in exhaustion as he had been looking for the girl this entire time.

“Papa!”

Gofumin jumped over her papa, and he hugged her tightly.

“Hahh… Everything happened so fast. I was so afraid that something might have happened to you,” Sighed the Goblin Chief.

“Well, now that things are done, let’s prepare some food for everyone. We need to quickly assess what just happened here… You guys, stand around the camp and protect us from anything that comes,” I said.

“Gryshiii!”

The spiders all hissed in unison as they raised their front limbs.

“Pyro, I am making you the official Spider General! So you’ll be the one that leads the rest, you’re a special one, Pyro, so I am counting on you!” I said.

“Grishi!”

Pyro got all happy, raising its front limbs like those little spiders, jumping spiders, yeah, those that often raise their little legs while making mating dances, but he was doing one out of happiness.

I even petted him; he was that cute. I never thought a zombie spider would win me over.

“Mrao!”

Kuro, however, disliked this new recruit, and the giant cat desired my attention.

“Ah, Kuro… Don’t get jealous.” I sighed as I petted him and kissed his forehead.

He was a cute cat.

“CRAAA!”

Suddenly, I almost jumped out of the ground when the giant Raven startled me with its typical crow cry… he slowly reduced his size using the Body Size Alteration Skill and sat down over my right shoulder.

“Okay, you too! Geez, everyone wants attention nowadays….” I sighed.

“Craaa~” the little Raven enjoyed me as I caressed his silky black feathers.

I took a small cookie out of my inventory and gave it to him.

He happily grabbed it and began to snack on it as birds love crackers.

We quickly moved forward as we began to prepare food for everyone. After all the fighting was done, the people were starving without them eating anything through that time.

I had checked every person and found nobody got particularly hurt by the spiders, so there were no people injured. They were all doing fine.

And about the rabbit girl… well, she had just woken up and seemed healthy. She was, as of now, eating a whole bowl of rice with a large piece of grilled meat on top and a lot of vegetables around. She also drank some tea with sugar this time, so it wasn’t a bitter herb juice like the one we gave to her last night.

“Nom… Nom… Uwah! So good! It’s been a while since I had good food!” She said.

She was even recovered and seemingly left without any sequel. She was cured of the disease she had as well… but what was it anyway?

And I didn’t even know her name yet, her tribe’s name, or what was going on in the forest.

I had many questions for her, but I felt like it would be bad if I forced myself into her like this, so I decided to be gentle and go on slowly with the questions.

“Dear, tell me something. What’s your name?” I asked.

“Ah… My name’s Syllis! Thank you so much for your hospitality… and for helping me out with this… I was very tired and exhausted in the forest… I thought I was going to die out of starvation….” She sighed.

“My name is Maria, but you can call me Auntie if you want, and these are….”

I presented everyone present here, and Syllis bowed her head to every person respectfully. Being a girl from a wild tribe, she was very well-behaved.

“Sorry for trying to drink your blood back then. It was very disrespectful of me….” Sighed Partner.

“Ah! D-Don’t worry about it! I am thankful that you all helped me… I am forever in debted with you all!” she said.

“Ah, she’s so cute….” Said Emeraldine.

“Sh-She? I am not a she! I-I am a boy! I-Is it not obvious with my muscles? And my chest!” Said Syllis.

“Wait… Eh?” I muttered.

Everyone looked at Syllis surprised.

Even his name sounded like a girl’s name.

Can you blame us?

Even your voice is very charmingly feminine!

So he was a boy all along… Well, he was already wearing clothes beneath his leather clothes, so we never got the chance to see his lower parts…

“No way! You’re a boy?! But you look like a cute girl!” Said Takeshi.

“G-Girl? W-Well, most of the males look like me! There’s nothing wrong with our appearance… we rabbit-kin are small and nimble… I am actually not a child either. I am 19 this year….” Sighed Syllis.

I guess Rabbit-kin is that type of race that is an eternal child in appearance? If this boy is 19 and he still looks like a cute teen girl… then I shouldn’t have much hope in the other males, especially because he just said they all looked similar to him…
