"... child, huh?

Seeing Lorraine emerged from the woods, she shrugged so.

But that can't be right.

"There's nothing like this. You can't have kids in the middle of an untouched street."

That's why I deny it.

It may not even be possible, because there is no way.

By and large, the "child" had distinguished features.

The child opens his mouth when he stands before us.

"... I think you let the corrupt walkers (zombies) get away with this, but did your lords take them down?

It was an amazing, time-honoured way to talk.

It is the language of our grandparents' time, before that.

That said, I know what you're talking about, so I have no particular problem communicating with you.

Lorraine responds to the words of the Child.

"Oh... for once, I knocked him down. That's the ash that's in there."

and refers to the ashes stacked.

"The Child," he nodded as he said,

"To ashes... is that a magician? If you do see it, it looks like you have excellent magic. If that's the case, it's not a good number of things such as walking (zombies) on rot to that extent. But that one came here because I leaked it. I'm sorry..."

and apologized for the appearance.

But leaked, I wonder if those demons were the subject of this "kid" crusade or something.

I ask.

"Those rotten walkers...?

"Oh, that's the end of the village villagers that perished around here about forty years ago. Especially since they don't need to eat. Unless someone crusades, it will always be there. Well, nobody's been in the village since then, so I'm almost dormant."

Meat walkers (zombies) stop their activity altogether when there are no creatures around them to attack instead of eating unnecessarily.

It's called dormancy in that state.

We're going to resume our activities because of some sort of trigger, but perhaps this time we started working because this "kid" went into an abandoned village.

Somehow, I feel unspeakable in that state.

I think that's what being undead means.

"Don't Die" and "Alive" don't really connect with equals, after all.

He said it just kept happening, and maybe it's the same without someone to remember.

... too pessimistic.

Maybe that look appeared a little on my face.

Say what "Kids" got wrong.

"What, I didn't show up anymore because I buried everything. It would be pitiful to leave it in that state on the boulder. Even so, I'm a saint, and I'm not good at being evil. Pay for that ash evil too...... hmm?

Saying, "The Child" approaches the ashes of Lorraine's burned-out corrupt walking (zombie).

From what we talked about, I thought, oh, it's a little bad, but it's a later festival.

By and large, if you can really use holy chi, you can't hide it.

And that's true.

Because I can see holy feelings in the hands of Children.

Well, I was deeply convinced that it was easy to hunt a large number of corrupt walks (zombies).

"... Is this, already, evil done? Even if you burn it down with sorcery, if you collect it in this much ash, it will disappear. Did you even keep it in holy water?

In that word Lorraine took a bottle of holy water out of her nostalgia,

"Oh, for times like this."

said, "The Child" nodded as he was convinced,

"Ho, it's a special triumph for adventurers these days. The Undead are everywhere, but if you fail to take care of them after you defeat them, it will be a disaster. I used to carry as much holy water as anyone, but lately... I think I might have gotten stupider. Forgive me."

"No..."

I do reply vaguely that there are undead people here as well.

It wasn't so much that I was hiding it, but I didn't want to actively hustle and bustle that I was holy, so I thought it would be me if you kept it flowing.

But The Children,

"But it's purified beautifully... and there's no spot" Mura "... but it can't be done this far in holy water... slightly!? Is this... grass? Why to ashes...... and this is holy! What are you hiding from me, lords?

And he looked panicked and asked.

I should have taken the distance there on guard, but I was instantly packed.

It's not a joke or anything, and I can tell by that that it's pretty hands-on, regardless of the sense of holiness.

Still, it seems like it could take long enough to fight back if you get attacked, so it's still okay.

Besides, I can't pull out my weapon, especially since I don't feel hostile at the moment.

In the meantime, Lorraine answers the words "children".

"... because I haven't told you anything about what I'm hiding. We even have each other's names."

It's the ultimate answer.

In fact, it does hide that I could have used holy chi and purified it by it, but I'm not lying about it, okay?

"Children" seemed convinced by Lorraine's words,

I think so.

"... well. I haven't even introduced myself yet. Is that why your lords are so vigilant?

I can tell by that useless move, which I just showed you, that you seem innocent and it's not like that.

Looks like your head's working fast.

When me and Lorraine snort,

"... um, I still don't look inside these days, I'm not a boney adventurer. I wanted to know your Lord's name. That said, let's start with me. My name is Alhildis. An adventurer. That's not the gold! Here."

I said, I put up an adventurer's card.

It is hard to argue that the presentation of the Adventurer ID is the easiest and most reliable method of identification when adventurers encounter each other.

Its adventurer ID, glowing in glorious gold, definitely looks real.

"Kids"... Alhildis still hasn't lifted his guard. He kindly threw an Adventurer ID at us,

"You should check until you feel better"

He even tells me.

Sometimes this is fake.

I'm just here sometimes.

With a bandit who forges an adventurer's card and comes at you pretending to be an adventurer?

So far, its quite unlikely......

But even so, I feel like both Lorraine and I are too suspicious, but there's not much we can do about it either.

I wouldn't suspect this far if it were usual.

But the appearance of the "child" named Alhildis is a big problem.

Look at the correction, apparently still real, throw back the Adventurer ID that turns out to be real, then Lorraine says.

"... I'm sorry I doubted you. But I also want you to understand how this one feels. Elves are rarely seen around here."

That's right.

Alhildis' appearance was remarkably unusual.

Especially around here.

That's what I mean.

The glorious medium bob's golden hair, the blue eyes deeper than the sky, the beautiful streamlined ears longer and pointy than men, for the appearance of only around the age of ten, the atmosphere is something old.

It would be more impossible not to doubt, even though it only looks like an adorable girl.
