Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 : I Got a New Familiar

『I’ve finally found you, Master!』

The Thunder Dragon Emperor descended from the sky.

Her gigantic body ended up blocking the highway and causing a small-scale earthquake.

「「「W-W-W…」」」

The faces of the merchant and the bandits paled as they saw the majestic figure of the dragon.

『Uhm? What are these trash doing here? Scram, you’re just eyesores.』

A glare from a being as powerful as the Thunder Dragon Emperor was enough to make timid-hearted people faint on the spot.

But maybe it was as she said; they were nothing but trash to her. She only spent a single moment to glare at them before looking back at me.

”
“

Or so I thought, before she bowed to me.

The bandit’s leader then spoke with a dumbfounded voice.

「N-No way… y-you’ve even subdued this dragon?」

Wrong, rather than subdue, it was more like she suddenly called me “Master” out of the blue.

She was by no means a familiar of mine.

「HIIIII…」

I looked at the bandit’s leader—who showed imposing might until just a moment ago—whose gaze was filled with denial. He suddenly shrieked like a little girl.

Upon closer inspection, the area around his crotch was we— Uwah, seriously, incontinence at that age.

『My apologies for the matter the other day, Master.』

「…?」

I tilted my head, pondering about this “matter” she mentioned.

『Unfortunately, I, as a dragon, failed to guess that… but, I knew that I committed a sin against you. Therefore, allow me to offer my apologies.』

Eh? W-Wait a minute, what in the world was this dragon talking about?

Committed a sin… against me?

Could it be that she thought that I escaped from her due to anger?

『Here’s my offering to you!』

Thus, the Thunder Dragon Emperor finally offered the thing that already caught my attention a while ago.

A jet-black dragon.

Although it was thinner than the Thunder Dragon Emperor, its overall length and size rivaled her own.

The problem was, it didn’t even make a twitch.

Since I couldn’t feel its lifeforce, that dragon had most probably died.

『This dragon’s name is the Darkness Dragon Emperor! I embarked on a long journey to its turf to offer this dragon to you, Master. I finally defeated this dragon after a fierce battle! 』

…Eh?

Was she telling me that she killed this dragon and brought it to me?!

WHAT WERE YOU DOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!

『I can guarantee this fella’s power! That’s why, please, turn this fella into your familiar too, Master!』

Stop, please stop, I never asked for this!

I had absolutely no wish to increase my number of familiars!

『Is something the matter? Could it be that… this isn’t enough?』

The Thunder Dragon Emperor asked me with a desperate voice as soon as she saw my reaction.

『Even though… I risked my life to hunt the dragon… I see… It’s not enough, huh.』

She sounded like she was about to cry at any moment.

P-Please stop, I would be troubled if you made that kind of expression, but…

Maybe it was just her way of trying to cheer me up.

I definitely mustn’t reject her offering.

「Y-Yaaay… I’m so happy~[monotone]」

I used my everything to look like I was delighted by her offering.

I was sure that my smile looked so fake right now.

『Really! You’re really happy with this! Then, please turn this dragon into your familiar immediately!』

「A-A-A…」

Naturally, I never wanted to turn this dragon into another familiar of mine.

But this situation didn’t allow me to refuse.

But what should I do to turn this dragon into an undead?

I mean, it was a mere coincidence when I did that to the Thunder Dragon Emperor…

Anyhow, I should touch it and hope for that to happen.

And then…

『My… master.』

The jet-black dragon raised its body slowly.

It looked pretty good… No, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

And then, the jet-black dragon bowed to me in silence.

『I, the Darkness Dragon Emperor, have become your familiar, Master.』

『Kukuku, do you believe me now?! My master is a great person, right!』

『No doubt about it. I can only understand his greatness after experiencing it myself.』

『The one who brought you to Master’s location was me! Feel free to praise me now!』

『Uhm. Thanks.』

The two giant dragons gave me praise in unison.

「Did he just… turn another dragon into his familiar?」

「ABABABABA…」

The bandits had completely lost their fighting spirit.

Their leader already fainted, foaming from his mouth.

On the other hand, the merchants who almost became their victims were about to ride off in their carriage to escape from this place.

…It seemed the victims were mentally tougher than the perpetrators.

『By the way, since I’m the first one to become a familiar, call me SENIOR. Understand?!』

『That’ll depend on our master. Our master is the one who decides which one of us is SENIOR!』

『Guh, how vexing, but you’re right… Even so, our master will definitely choose me, no doubt about it!』

『You might be wrong. Maybe he’ll choose the smart type like me.』

『WHAAAT!』

Those two giant dragons were starting a childish quarrel for some reason.

The bandits passed out one after another after they were exposed to the two dragons’ giant magical power.

W-What should I do now?

『Our master』

『My master.』

The two dragons looked at me at the same time.

『Me or this one, which one you like the most, Master!』

『Choose me!』

Which dragon I liked the most, huh!

I retorted in my mind.

Maybe I should say that I had no idea, but…

『No, wait a minute. As expected, it might be tough for master to decide with this figure.』

『Uhm.』

『I’m sure that it’ll be easier for you to decide if we’re in our human forms.』

『Sure enough.』

After the dragons nodded to each other, their bodies were enveloped in a blinding light.

I… had a really bad feeling about this.

Sure enough, a beautiful blonde-haired woman appeared in place of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Her human form had extremely well-endowed proportions.

And just like before, she… was naked.

And the other one.

The other dragon transformed into a black-haired beauty.

In contrast with the blonde one, the black-haired beauty had a rather slender yet alluring figure.

Her beauty was that of a cute girl in her teens; her slender figure could bring about a sense of immorality within any man.

By the way, she… was naked too.

「~??!」

I hurriedly turned around, but those two didn’t let me do so.

「Why are you not looking at us, Master! Which one of us do you like the most? You won’t know unless you look at us, right?!」

「Lookie!」

「~??!」

They blocked my field of view with their bodies.

S-STAAAAAAAAPH!

I couldn’t handle both of their naked figures!

「Hey, it’s your fault that the master is unwilling to see me. Your flat-as-board figure has poisoned Master’s eyes.」

「That’s impossible. Rather, the oversized lumps of fat on your ch*est might have poisoned Master’s eyes.」

「Kukuku, say as you wish, loser. Male humans prefer these “oversized” parts more than yours. 」

「Correction. The majority of female humans have figures that match their age. In short, the “slender” are the majority.」

And then, they somehow started quarreling over something.

If they asked me, I would say that some prefer big ones, but men who preferred them small were the most intellige―what the hell was I thinking about!

I escaped from the two women(?) as sparks scattered around them, arguing amongst themself.

「Master, where are you?」

「Eh? You’re right!」

OH CRAP, THEY NOTICED!

Worse of all, I was in an open space. Unlike in the forest, there was no hiding place around me.

「MASTER! WHERE ARE YOUUUU?!」

「YOU HAVE YET TO GIVE YOUR ANSWEEER!」

「KUH, HE RAN AGAIN, HUH!」

「WAIIIIT!」

I was being chased around by two naked women for a while after that.
