Chapter 2

The Skeleton Swordsman and the Princess

The girl who had appeared out of nowhere asked me to be her holy knight. “Hmm...” I scratched my jaw with my bony hand. Itchiness was no longer a concern, but some of my human habits were hard to kick.

“I understand it’s very sudden. I’ll make sure to explain everything.”

“Y’know, you should really introduce yourself before you ask somebody for a favor.”

The girl suddenly gasped in realization. “Pardon me. My name is Astrantia.”

“All right. Now I’ve got a question for you, Tia.”

“Tia... No, that’s fine for now. What is it, Sir Al?”

“The holy knights I know don’t serve individuals. What do you mean by becoming your personal holy knight?”

The girl nodded her head, understanding my confusion. “Let me explain from the beginning.”

“Actually, never mind.” I got the feeling it was gonna take a while, so I cut her off.

“Excuse me?”

“People have passed through the invisible wall to come kill me a few times now, and it’s always a combination of a holy woman and a holy knight. I assume that means tag teams of holy women and holy knights go around killing undead these days. And you’re here to ask me to be your partner. That about sum it up?”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right.”

A three-hundred-year history lesson sounded like a pain, so I just threw out a guess that seemed likely. “Then I’ve got two questions and one request before I decide if I wanna cooperate with you or not.”

“Very well. Go ahead.”

I appreciated how quick on the uptake she was. “Question one: why me?”

“I want to send off all the undead remaining in the world the proper way.”

“You mean you want to kill them for good?”

“Yes. That’s why I require the assistance of a strong holy knight. And above all else, our goals must align. We’re aware that you saved the undead in this city all on your own. Of the twelve Forbidden Cities, only this one has carried out the total salvation of its undead.”

“Very interesting.” I nodded my head in approval—her answer had impressed me. She’d given me valuable insight. Despite having the authority to pass through the invisible wall, she was having difficulty finding a partner. And quite a lot of difficulty if she was going through the trouble of recruiting an undead. In addition, there were eleven other cities surrounded by invisible walls like this one. Maybe some of the undead had escaped the city back then and spread the infection. That, or the same thing had happened all over the place, and they had somehow managed to seal the undead away in twelve places.

Either way, three hundred years had passed and all the undead still hadn’t been killed. Of the twelve locations, only this city had exterminated all its undead. “All right, the next question. How am I supposed to serve you when I’m nothing but bones?” This was the most important question of all. Considering her goal was to wipe them out, it was clear coexisting with the undead was off the table.
