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

Chapter 152 - A Calm Aftermath

“Ugeehh… Who are these creeps?!” Cried Takeshi.

“Why are they made of fire?!” Asked Laura.

“Hahaha…”

After I presented the pair of handsome blazing ghosts to the pair of children, we quickly decided to cook some food for everyone. The village people quickly woke up after this, so we had to quickly make them some food to recover mana and vitality.

And this is where my Cooking Skill came into clutch! With its power, my ability to cook becomes better and better, and I can even imbue power into what I cook, as if they were game-like food items that recover HP and MP, and can even temporarily add bonuses to stats and more.

We went out to hunt some more, and we found out around four Wild Boars around the forest, and also captured large monsters such as Dark-Scaled Vipers and Flame Bears, but I think we emptied the forest after those guys were killed.

After bringing it all back, we began to quickly butcher them up and then cut them up. We then started grilling a crap ton of meat over the bonfires, while another part was used for cooking a crap ton of soup, where we added potatoes, carrots, onions, and other spices.

It was simple food because we had to cook for many people… but we also added non-poisonous mushrooms to the soup, which Emeraldine and Partner went to pick for me.

Takeshi and Laura moved to the nearby river and fished some fish, too, adding more food for everyone to eat.

The guys we killed had an item pouch filled with cheese, salami, bread, and a few bottles of wine, so we had that to go with it.

The people in the village also had some food stored, but not too much. We decided to also use it tonight and give everyone a big feast as we were going to find a lot of food tomorrow anyways.

“Thank you for the help, you guys! Your fire is pretty useful!” I said.

“No problem, my lady!”

“Everything to make that beautiful face smile radiantly,”

Silvio and Francesco were working together to maintain the flames over many bonfires. They possessed the flames they produced as if they were red-colored will-o-wisps and blazed the food into the perfect temperature and texture. They were becoming pretty good chefs with their very flames.

They were also boiling the many pots of soup we were making, and the meat was being grilled by their flames as well. The meat was slowly becoming juicier and juicier.

“You two were made to become flames in the kitchen! With you guys, we don’t even have to worry about looking for lumber anymore,” I said.

“Hahaha! It makes me so happy to be recognized….” Said Silvio.

“My lady, for you, we’ll work as the best flames your kitchen can have!” Said Francesco.

I have to admit that they were a bit obsessed with me, mostly due to their broken minds, traumatic experiences, and how my Undead Queen Title Skill makes them want to follow me, so I feel a bit bad for them. They’re so nice, yet it is probably due to all the suffering they had gone through, which made them appreciate the first showcase of kindness, even after death… and well, a bit of encroachment, which only makes me feel even more terrible…

But I hope they can get through it and become like Partner or Lucifer, who are affected by the title but not mentally, as their minds have grown very strong. But this title is mostly for Undead I make on the get-go obey me right away.

“You guys are so nice; I am glad I can see you two smile,” I said.

The two had become pure flames, with dumb and big smiles, reminding me of that flame in that one Ghibli Movie… the walking fortress or castle? Well, whatever the case, they were cute in this form.

“I have not smiled in years….”

“It is a good feeling to smile!”

I feel like they are still children deep down… Poor things. I will make sure to become their mama!

Ah…! W-Why do I feel this feeling of always sheltering and taking care of people like this? Do I have a mother complex? Do I want to be a mommy?

Ugh, I better not overthink it because I begin to consider weird things such as having a kid with Lucifer, and there’s no way that’s happening because I am a ghost and ghosts can’t have kids… and I am not going to suddenly do… that thing with Lucifer either!

In fact, our relationship has barely advanced at all, and I only feel bad about abusing it because he’s mostly alone and feels like there’s nobody else for him. So he clings to me, which I feel is an unhealthy relationship… He has to meet tons of people first. I am sure he’ll find a dragoness along the way and fall in love with her rather than with a creepy ghost woman like me.

Yeah, everyone might like me, but it is only because of the circumstances… if they were given opportunities to meet many people and live their own lives without me being there bothering them all the time, I am sure they wouldn’t even love me. I am not really an ideal person for that.

I’ve already done horrendous things… I am not someone that should be loved.

I don’t deserve their love.

“…”

“Master! Look this big fish, hehehe,”

“Huh?”

Partner suddenly showed me a massive tuna-like fish that she brought from the River with the kids. It was huge! Almost around 4 meters long!

“W-What the heck is this thing?! Seriously?!” I shouted.

“Grill it!” Said Takeshi.

“Okay… Okay, but kill it first. It is moving all over the place!” I cried.

“Hehehe….” Partner took out a knife as she smiled creepily, stabbing the fish in the gullet.

After taking its last breath, the fish died, and we put it to grill over the two fire ghosts.

Nice.
