Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! Chapter 909 Taking A Break

-----

Once we arrived back in Sapphire Temple, we sneaked inside through my Shadow Powers and decided to rest inside another Inn within the noble district, which seed a bit safer.

I also used my Void Devourer Title Skill to enchant everyone, giving them the ability to reject being dragged to any dinsion or space forcefully, with this, that annoying incident will hopefully never happen ever again.

And if these bastards try it again, they're going to et with a swift death… However, to keep ourselves hidden, with the help of Eraldine, we conjured several Stealth Spells that lower our presences and auras to completely low levels.

Like this, we can make sure they won't easily know where we are… Also, changing our appearances through Shapeshifting helped in making it harder too. This ti we decided to just pretend to be nobles for a change.

Everyone was fast asleep even as we arrived here, and it was already night, a day passed where we talked about what happened, we ate, and rested. I wanted to sleep for a while, honestly.

And while sleeping at the side of my cute Nyx while hugging her with Lucifer, and having Eraldine and Partner hugging behind, I slept soundly.

Once the next morning arrived, I heard a lot of noise in the room, and felt a bit of panic.

"Were we attacked again?!"

However, once I sat down, I found the children playing around in the room leisurely… As if nothing had ever happened yesterday.

"Ah…"

I felt relieved, but at the sa ti, I think I'm beginning to grow a bit paranoid! Is this even alright to think about? I'm getting a bit crazier.

"Mama's awake!" Nyx said happily, her big eyes shining brightly as she ran to my bed and jumped over . Eraldine, Partner, and Lucifer were still fast asleep, too tired to wake up early this morning.

"Nyx!"

I hugged her tightly, as she embraced with her little arms. Ahh, I felt so blessed to have her. And seeing her awake made feel relieved deep down.

"Are you alright dear? Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her, carefully inspecting her body even though I had already done it several tis before.

"I'm fine!" Nyx giggled. "I heard from Fabian that mama and papa and aunties defeated the big bad, so it's alright now, right?"

"Y-Yes…" I sighed, noticing that her belly had a big scar that hasn't healed. "Ah, your belly…"

"Huh? Ah, this is where Celes healed ! I got hit very strongly…" Nyx recalled what happened. "But I'm fine now, he's a very good healer!"

"I-Is that so…" I sighed, hugging her tightly. "I won't let anybody hurt you like this anymore… I promise I'll never let you deal with these problems on your own, okay?"

"Huh?" Nyx felt confused as she rubbed her nose on my chest. "Mama you sll nice, like flowers…"

"Hehe… I guess it must be the perfu, do you like it?" I giggled, trying to just change the topic. It seed she didn't really understand what I ant to an extent.

"I do, I love mama's sll." She sniffed and cuddled with in bed. "It makes feel safe…"

"I-Is it?" I wondered, almost resisting my tears. "I'll… Mama will always be there for you, and I'll protect you no matter what, okay? And… I'll crush anybody that hurts you, until nothing remains."

"Hehehe, you sounded a bit scary there." She giggled innocently.

"A-Ahahaha… Yeeaaah… Oh, Lucifer, wake up already." I moved him until he slowly opened his eyes.

"Hmm? Ah…?! What happened?! The enemy?" He wondered, waking up in the sa way I did. "Ah… Oh, Nyx… Dear."

"Papa!" Nyx hugged him quickly after he woke up.

Lucifer cald down, letting her hug him. Her little and warm hands was all her grumpy daddy needed to calm down, as he gently kissed her forehead.

"Good morning, you look all well now, don't you?"

"I do, I do! I'm super well! And hungry…"

Her stomach suddenly growled like a beast of its own!

"Hahaha, I guess we can have a nice al! This Inn is quite fancy, so we'll get a really nice breakfast." I smiled. "Let's call for it then."

Suddenly, the door opened, as Jonathan walked in carrying a lot of things, barely balancing them.

"Oh, you're awake, Lucifer, Maria." He smiled. "I brought breakfast. I woke up quite early and went to do a patrol around to make sure there wasn't anybody spying on us. I brought food after Nyx's request."

"Uncle!" Nyx said, running towards Jonathan. "Give sandwich!"

"Hahaha, you're quite cocky asking your uncle sothing like that. At least say "please" or sothing." Jonathan laughed heartily.

"No, this is a robbery, rawr!" Nyx started biting his leg.

"Oh no! I give up, please take everything!" Jonathan played around, letting her take the sandwich.

"I've won!" She quickly took the food and started munching.

I didn't expect that the two would get along so well. Then again, Jonathan was always such a good man, and kids have always been his weakness.

Rembering the mories of when I was alive, I can recall he used to visit various orphanages near the Capital of the Empire of Light, where he actively donated money and helped everyone.

He was loved by the kids, and they always called him uncle or even father, I wonder if those kids are alright…

"Celes! Everyone, co eat!" Nyx scread, quickly waking up everyone else sleeping.

"Oh, food…!" Celes who was playing with wooden toys quickly ran to grab a snack. "A-Ah, hello Auntie Maria!"

"Hello Celes." I smiled. "Is your mom still asleep?"

"Not anymore…" Nia yawned. "Hello Lady Maria, you slept a lot too, it seems."

"I did… A lot happened."

"It sure did…" Takeshi sighed.

"Ugh, my head hurts… need sugar." Laura complained.

"Ah, you kids are alright too?" I asked them.

"Yeah, no worries." Takeshi nodded. "But… more importantly…"

I guess they wanted to address what happened to Catarina…
