Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken Chapter 13

Chapter 13. Army of the dead.

(Kuuhh… You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What exactly are you?!)

The voice of the cursed sword was heard. While I was picking up the lottery ticket, that voice that I heard earlier had definitely tried to do something to me, it was trying to possess me.

However, it didn’t go well and I heard the voice grew tired of trying.

“It’s Yuuki Kakeru.”

(I’ve never said that I want to know your name! What I asked you b.a.s.t.a.r.d was what exactly are you?! Why can’t I take over your body?!)

“Even if you ask me that…”

I wonder why myself.

(This is the first time I cannot take over a human body! Muu– You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, your soul color!)

“Eh?”

(What’s with that color, you are not an ordinary human are you?!)

“I’m just your normal human though.”

Ah, I might not be your normal human. There might be some difference as I was a human who came from another world.

(This color, it’s the same color as the Supreme Ruler Rodotos. No, more than that…)

The cursed sword was mumbling in silent about something.

“Now then, I wonder what should I do with you.”

(Mu~?)

“As I thought should I just go and beat you up until you get broken to smitherens? Uun..”

(Dare not underestimate me human! Even though I cannot take over your body, there are countless way for me to make you consign yourself to me!)

“Ehhh!!!”

I was quite surprised as I was being negligent. Thus I put my guard up thinking that something is coming. After that, the cursed sword began to emit light. It was a dark— ominous sort of light. The next instant, the ground spring upwards.

Ghosts holding a rope, armored skeletons and a groaning zombies.

Surely—–.

(This is the undead army that had trampled over Retria Kingdom a long time ago. My army of the dead, kill that man!)

“Kuhh!!! I was careless!”

(Ah, hahahahahha)

A loud laughter resonated inside my brain. The undead army came attacking at once.

Strike them down— was what I had thought but, I remember something that was in my hold.

Cursed Sword. Though it might be the one who had summoned the Undead army, but above everything else. It’s just a cursed sword.

“…..”

I try to swing the sword. I swing the sword against the skeleton who was acting as the vanguard.

Its helmet was broken and then split its head into two.

“Ohh, not bad.”

(Na! b.a.s.t.a.r.d what are you trying to do! How insolent of you to actually use me as a tool for attacking!)

Seems like it was complaining about something, but I give it no heed and continue using it as just a normal sword.

I accept the Skeleton’s strike and break it’s bone. I blow away the Ghost’s magic and cut off it’s rope. The bodily fluid was out of the ordinarily disgusting so I launched a fire magic attack from a long distance against the zombie.

All the monster that came attacking were defeated.

(Ignoring me… Then how about this!)

After the cursed sword said something, it suddenly became heavy as if it was falling from my hold.

Plunging through, it cut through the ground as if it was made out of tofu and sunk deeply into the ground.

(Fuhahaha… How is it! I can even pull out trick like this! The me right now is as heavy as a colossal dragon!)

“As heavy as a colossal dragon? Oi oi, what happened with law of conservation of ma.s.s?”

…. It was not something that I should say now that I’m in a different world but I couldn’t help but to give a punchline.

(Now what will you do…. Even so you still won’t let go of me? It’s fine if you keep on holding me you know? As my dark force that wields me…)

“Funnuuuuuu!!!”

I put my strength into my waist and pull the cursed sword as hard as I can. Indeed, it’s heavy, but it was not at the level where I couldn’t lift it up.

If feels just like throwing hammer, using the centrifugal force to swing the cursed sword around.

Peerless restart! I beat down even more undead army.

(You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! That is bulls.h.i.+t you know! How can you swing me around, am I not heavy?!)

“No no no. You are heavy. You can already know just by looking right?”

If you’re not heavy, I wouldn’t swing you the way I did just now.

(Not to that level!)

The cursed sword began to clamor even more. As I got near to the skeleton whom I have defeated into pieces (I don’t know which part of it is the body or where the eye was), I saw something s.h.i.+ning amongst the bones that were scattered on the ground.

It was a light that I had collection of— lottery ticket!

I see. Just by beating monster like this, there are chances of getting a lottery ticket. I became even more motivated. I increased my pace and defeated a lot more monster.

Undead army, certainly after beating the monster that well earned the t.i.tle my back became sweaty. After I finished, I turned around collecting lottery ticket. Counting from that moment on, every 100 monster would drop at least 1 lottery ticket. I wonder what exactly is the drop ratio for the lottery ticket.

(You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What exactly are you doing!)

I heard the cursed sword voice.

“What you asked me… I’m collecting this.”

While holding the cursed sword, I flutter the lottery ticket around and showed it. There was no response, however as I was holding the cursed sword I can feel how troubled the cursed sword was.

…. It cannot see the ticket?

I wonder if I am the only human who can see this lottery ticket. Next time when I’m drawing the ticket I’ll ask the staff about it.

That was what I planned but, the ‘next time’ that I’ve said had quickly disappeared. When I gathered all the lottery ticket, adding with the tickets that I had before I had enough of 10 pieces of lottery tickets.

10 lottery tickets, I now can draw the lottery 11 times.

Thus I plan to draw these tickets with no further ado.

How do I get there again, do I have to wish for it just like that and I’ll get there? I want to go to the drawing room– thus as I was thinking that I walk around the forest aimlessly with the cursed sword in my hold.

About the time when I realized it, the scenery that I was at had already changed. The lottery drawing room, and even the staff was there. I should give the staff my lottery ticket right.

I then head toward the staff and the lottery machine.

“h.e.l.lo, I came here to draw lottery.”

“Dearest customer, it will be quite troublesome if you bring other people that has nothing to do with this.” The stuff suddenly said and looked at me intently.

“Bring other people? But I’m the only one here though.”

“Then how about the one over there?” the staff pointed out at behind my back.

When I turned around, behind me was a little girl. It was a little girl who wore a one-piece dress that looked about 5 years old. The girl was looking very surprised and she stared at my palm.

“This form, this is my form when I was still a human.”

“Me?”

The way this girl address herself is something that I had collection about, don’t tell me this girl is—

“I don’t know what had caused such turnout however, with this form I can finally interfere. Diee!!”

The young girl came charging at me. But I stopped her calmly. I pulled out my hand and place it on top of her head. As for the young girl who was stopped…. she started to attack me with childish punch. It was a punch that was very suitable with her look right now, a very cute childish punch that it was downright scary.

Childish punch that won’t hit, the young girl began to have a teary eyes. She then jumped backward.

“Kuhh! It has been a few hundred years since I was in a flesh form so it can’t be helped. However for now, when I can’t beat you in sword form, I can beat you now using the undead army.”

“Mu~?”

“Come forth! My army of the dead!”

I pushed out my hand and I put my guard up.

*s.h.i.+nnn*

Nothing happened.

“Why! Why won’t they come out!”

“…..”

I loosen my guard, somehow understanding something. I don’t know how did she retain her human form but there is one thing that I know for sure, in this human form. She cannot do anything.

What that said, I put up dealing with her later.

“Execuse me, I have collected 10 lottery tickets and I would like to draw it now.”

“Each and every one of you ignoring me….”

There was a strike coming from my back.

*Poka poka* *poka poka*

Kuuu!!! she’s the hardest enemy that I had to put up against with up until now, in a lot of meanings.
