The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 570 - Much Needed Detail

"Please say that you are joking."

He took a deep breath and asked, attempting to remain calm but failing.

"It's the truth – or at least the most plausible version of it - considering all the available information and all."

The red-haired girl declared, squeezing Zombie's cold hands apologetically.

"Bullshit!"

"!!!"

Zombie roared, making the girl in his lap ump from shock.

"If she really wanted to help – why would she kidnap the Dandelions right from under our noses instead of offering a truce?!"

He growled, trembling from the bottled-up fury.

"...if you ask that you are seriously underestimating how much she fears you in this life – she doesn't know that you are the same boy she wants to save the world in order to find..."

Cranberry explained calmly, gently caressing the blue undead's hands – but that insinuation wasn't something that Zombie could accept.

"DON'T CALL IT SAVING! YOU HAVE PATI'S MEMORIES – YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE NIGHTMARE I HAD TO LIVE THROUGH! STOP BULLSHITTING ME ABOUT THAT FILTH'S GOOD INTENTIONS – THERE ARE NONE! IF I HAVE TO BE FORCED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH HER THEN I WOULD RATHER SEE THIS WHOLE FUCKING WORLD DESTROYED!"

"...Zombie..."

The blue undead knight roared, making Cranberry hug him tighter with an apologetic expression.

"That's not what I meant – you believe me on that, don't you?"

She asked, looking up at his handsome face twisted in fury.

"I...!"

He answered in a shout but he suddenly closed his eyes and breathed out through his nose, consciously using the machine mind skill to get himself back to the normal state of mind.

"...yes, I do believe you, despite everything that already happened...."

Zombie scoffed and lowered his, resting his chin on Cranberry's shoulder.

"Now, now... Zombie – we might have to be forced to work together with Caramel – but you are making me sound like I would end up giving you to her afterward – and that makes you sound quite rotten brained if you ask me."

The red-haired girl smirked softly at the agitated undead, adjusting her position and kissing his cheek.

"...then why did you make it sound as if she was the good one trying to save the world...?"

Zombie murmured in a sulking tone and leaned in to gently kiss Cranberry's lips as if seeking consolation.

"Because she kind of is."

"...wha...?!"

The red-haired girl simply admitted without tiring to dodge the question, leaving the blue undead knight lost for words.

"Hey – why are you making a face like that? Are you forgetting who I am?"

Seeing his expression Cranberry ended up laughing and shook her head.

"You are looking at a villainess – my role is to oppose the heroine as the unreasonable and evil one – will it be that shocking for me to turn my back on the world's savior just to get what I want in the end?"

The red-haired girl declared cheekily, clearly proud of herself – and she most definitely looked the proudest she ever did.

"Pffft...! Khahahahahaha! I see! Yes! Of course!"

The blue undead knight raised his head and burst out into diabolical laughter.

"In the end – wouldn't it feel the best if I killed that piece of filth after she thought that she had won?!"

He chuckled, smiling wildly in the most evil grin.

"Now that I think about it – I would love to see her face once I would reveal to her that I was the very person that she wanted to find! Khahaha! Now I am interested to witness her reaction! What is stronger – the past life's obsession or the new trauma that I gracefully bestowed upon her filthy self!?"

Zombie cheered with newfound confidence and drive.

"Still – how are you so sure that the ashen undead didn't lie to you – that very well might be a part of that pile of waste's plan."

Just as suddenly as he was cheering, the blue undead knight suddenly become serious again and asked the red-haired girl.

"Let's call it an intuition – although the same intuition is telling me that she will want to screw us over in the end – and by us I mean you – in the end, until she will learn that you are the one she wants, she will follow her original plan that no doubt includes letting you get killed by Eternal."

Cranberry shrugged her shoulders and pointed out.

"Well...truth be told, the perspective of screwing her over in that way is also tempting – although I would not be able to witness her reaction – a mere thought of the shock she would experience knowing that she had me so close this whole time and even killed me off without doing anything deviant as in out original lives is enough to make me consider dying."

Zombie shrugged his shoulders and declared in an indifferent voice.

"HA?! Now hold on a second!"

Funnily enough – now it was Cranberry's turn to get angry.

"You are mine – MINE! You aren't allowed to die just to get back at some slut!"

She declared, reaching out and wrapping her arms around the undead's neck and pulling him close, locking his lips in a long passionate kiss.

"Khaha! So you say – but in case that the world will be ending or something – I plan on getting myself killed before you."

Zombie snorted and declared out of nowhere.

"HA?!"

Cranberry shouted angrily, glaring at her impudent husband.

"Hey – I already watched you die enough times – if worse comes to worst – I at least am going to make you realize how awful that feels."

The blue undead knight declared with a mocking smile.

"That's not how it's supposed to work! You are my knight – sure – but if you ever consider dying before me, I will kill you!"

"Pfffft...! Khahahahahahaha!"

The red-haired girl declared furiously, messing up and saying something silly in the end and causing her blue undead to burst into a fit of mocking laughter.

"Yeah - sure, that works too! I will keep you on that promise, you stupid idiot!"

Zombie cheered and leaned in for another kiss that the furious Cranberry accepted – even though she originally looked as if she would bite his tongue, but ended up leaning all the way onto his strong body.
