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

Chapter 1120: Maria Is A Refined Noble Lady!



Because of the insistence of my baby girl Nyx, I ended helping the townsfolk like the good heroine I am! I am so graceful and nice, aren't I?

"Thank you so much for rebuilding my house... Please take this golden cup!"

"I really thought I would have to buy another house after the disaster, thank you so much... please take this pearl!"

"I never thought there would be such goodhearted people out there, take these delicious scallops I caught!"

"Without your aid, the house where I grew up with my whole family would have had to be completely demolished to rebuild it anew, thanks! Please take this bag of sea urchins! They're fresh and ready to eat!"

The mermen were actually very grateful though and would happily bring anything of value to compensate us for our help. Gold, pearls, jewels, and food was the common reward we received.

At first I didn't really think it would be too much, but it ended being a lot more! Once it was finally over, I had yet another big sack of gold and precious magic jewels, so that's even more money and funds for the village.

Aside from that, lots of food, which I saved inside my Inventory to keep it preserved until we went back home, like that we could have a big feast of fresh seafood for everyone to taste back home.

"Mommy, everyone was so happy! They gave us a lot of rewards too!" said Nyx. "I can't believe it! So goodwill does pay off!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Y-Yeah, I am surprised too," I nodded. "Usually commoners are too poor to repay for kindness, the only thing they can give you is a "thank you so much!" or sometimes they don't even thank you..."

"Sis, aren't you acting a bit too elitist there? We aren't nobles anymore..." said my brother. "We are commoners as well. Our noble titles were taken away..."

"Eh?! Ah... Oh well..." I sighed. "Well, even then, I am sure I am of a higher social status than the commoners, I am quite strong myself, so that should suffice, isn't it? Heh!"

"I've noticed it just now, but you sometimes talk a bit weird, like you're a spoiled rich girl," said Lucifer.

"That's because her memories of when she was alive finally came back fully," Jonathan giggled. "Maria was always like this. She had sure grown a lot, becoming much humbler- Well, it wasn't like she was a bad person either, it was just her way of being like that."

"Mom stuck that personality into her, for sure..." Arthur nodded.

"A-Arthur! How could you say such a thing about your sister dearest?" I sighed. "And yeah, sometimes it just comes out of me, this way of speaking... I can't believe I talked about social status, I've never really cared about that before, huh? This mix of memories messed me up a little bit."

"Mama is mama no matter what!" Nyx said. "It doesn't matter! I will also become a refined noble lady!"

"Oh my! Really my dear little flower? Then mama shall be very proud! Let us grow together as noble ladies of high society then, mama will teach you all the tricks that my beloved mother taught me! Ohohoho!" I laughed.

Ah!

"I did it again..." I sighed.

"Well, we'll have to just get used to it," shrugged Catarina. "Not like it matters, she has always acted kind of like she has a stick up her ass..."

"You say that because we were foes before...!" I groaned. "Please set aside such harmful opinions about my noble birth! Ahem... I mean, don't be mean."

"Hahaha! This is actually a bit funny," Catarina kept teasing me.

I swear by the gods if I wasn't a refined woman, I would beat her senseless...

Wait, no, I shouldn't think like that either.

"Big sis, don't bully auntie Maria... She's nice," Silva came to the rescue, telling Catarina to cut it out. "You're being a big meanie for no reason!"

"S-Silva?!" Catarina looked like the world was coming down for her. "I-I'm sorry, I won't be a meanie, don't get angry with me..."

"Hmph, apologize to auntie!" Silva said.

"Eeehh..." Catarina groaned. "Ok, sorry."

"So dry..." I sighed. "Well, whatever the case, shall we return to the castle? I've reinforced the defensive barrier using my divinity and my magic, so the place should be safe even if a trillion monsters invade."

"Don't jynx it please..." Emeraldine said.

"I-I am not!" I sighed. "Anyways, Nia, have you liked the trip so far? What about Celes?"

"Ah! Yes, I do love this place... It's so lovely and big! It is the first time I even go anywhere else than my own city and see other things than the desert," Nia sighed. "Its quite fantastic, sorry if I am quite silent, I just am in awe about everything..."

"I see, well, good for you then," I nodded.

"I also like it here! It's like... weird, like these people, the mermen, they feel like my kindred for some reason," said Celes. "I feel comfortable here too, stronger even... Maybe being close to the sea makes me stronger?"

"It probably does that," I nodded.

"Most likely the power of his soul..." Eustace noticed. "As he grows up and becomes stronger, the inherited strength of his soul, of Naiad, will become greater. Its only naturel he'll feel comfortable around large bodies of water."

"I see..." Nia nodded. "W-Well, I'm glad you're feeling happy here, Celes. But don't feel too accustomed yet, our home is still our home, alright?"

"Yeah, I get it mom!" Celes nodded.

"Anyways, it's getting quite late, shall we go have dinner?" I wondered. "It has been a few

hours since lunch after all..."

"Sure!" Nyx said. "Arachne are you hungry?"

"Very!" Arachne nodded. "Also I don't feel sleepy at all yet... It's amazing!"

"Is that so? I'm happy for you then, dear," I smiled.

As we made our way back home, my Shadow Realm continued having its usual tremors.

A certain dragon I had rescued from a bastard warlock that used her body as an augmentation

and I had healed fully some time ago, was beginning to slowly wake up.

And she did it by groaning and having very vivid dreams, I think...

Her name was Violet, right?

I'm sure Lucifer is going to get happy once I share him the news.
