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

Chapter 1192: Stay On Character!



Sofia was shaken by my attitude; she was someone that seemed to not like Partner, or the character she had become, at all. I guess I could say I can understand to an extent. I mean, she's supposed to be an evil bully girl or something, right?

But even then, if we never move on from that things might become worse in this trial, so it's better to forgive her, well, there's nothing to forgive for me! But still, we have to pretend to forgive her?

"Maria, you have to think this better! Partner's always bullying you, don't you remember?" wondered Sofia. "Right girls?" she asked our friends.

Emily and Alma looked at one another and nodded.

"Uuh, yeah! I mean, she's very annoying..." said Emily. "She's not the type of person you should get involved with, Maria."

"T-That's... Um, I... well, she's mean," muttered Alma, rather shyly.

"Huh..." Partner glared at them with a bored expression, the girls thought she was being mean though.

"Eek!" Alma covered her face with her little hands. "P-Please don't hurt me! I-I'm so sorry!" "Come on now, don't intimidate Alma like that, Partner!" Emily said, hugging her friend.

"Hah, looks like I ended becoming someone that really made a terrible reputation out of themselves," sighed Partner, sitting at my side and crossing her arms. "It's a bit annoying but what can we do... I'll be a better person from now on, I promise!"

"E-Eeh?!" Alma cried. "...Really?"

"Yes! I'm sorry for what I did..." said Partner. "And... Err, let's get along? I'll give you anything you want to compensate... Like, um, whatever you want."

"That's... things won't solve themselves so easily..." Alma looked elsewhere.

"That's right! You can't just say you'll become better and then make everyone just accept that!" said Sofia. "You should first start with your actions, like, for a whole month just behave. Then maybe we can talk."

"A whole month?! We don't have time for this!" Partner groaned, hitting the table.

"Eek!" Alma cried again, she was quite the crybaby.

"Tsk! Come on already, Partner! Wanna go or what?!" asked Emily, suddenly standing up. "Just leave us alone!"

Jesus, these girls really love drama.

I guess they are indeed high school girls.

Partner looked at me.

I waved my head, clearly telling her to not engage in fights.

Yet...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Sure."

She smiled defiantly at Emily!

"Wait! No! No fights!" I said, putting myself between the two. "Please Emily be nicer, if Partner does something I'll stop her. We just need to give her a second chance! Please... believe me, aren't I your friend?"

I asked Emily, grabbing her hands.

She blushed a bit, trying to not meet my gaze.

"I-I mean... Eeehh... I-If you insist! Haha... You're too nice, Maria."

I knew it!

Her status did say something about liking Maria, so I abused that.

It's a bit cruel, but what else can I do.

"Eeeh?!" cried Alma. "Emily, you were convinced so easily!"

"I mean... Maria is our best friend, right?" Emily smiled, without wanting to let go of my hands. "So I want to trust her!"

This tomboyish girl was too easy to manipulate, it made me feel a bit bad.

"Emily..." Alma muttered. "W-Well, Maria... yes, Maria is my friend too, right?"

"Of course!" I nodded.

I just knew them today but let's roll with that.

If I was back in high school I would definitely befriend girls like these, maybe.

And this isn't really an illusion but it's all real, right?

Like an entire world... that was destroyed and revived only for a trial.

It's both cruel and bizarre, but at the same time, perhaps it's fine to be like this with others.

To try to be friendly and make their lives better.

These people, all of them died after all...

"W-Well... P-Partner, you've... been very mean to me since I joined the school..." Alma muttered. "D-Do you truly mean it?"

"I do," Partner nodded, she tried to be a bit more serious. "I'm sorry..."

"Okay... I'll try to trust you just because of Emily and Maria!" Alma muttered. "B-But if you ever go back to it I won't ever forgive you ever again...! N-Neither Emily nor Maria too!"

"Eh?! Alma?!" Emily felt shocked.

"Okay, don't worry," Partner smiled, nodding as she crossed her arms. "Let's get along, Alma. I'm very sorry, you can insult me back all you want to make up for it too. Maybe even hit me? I

won't mind."

"I-I would never do such a thing!" Alma sighed. "Do you only understand through only being physically hit, Partner? I don't like hurting others... It's wrong, you know..."

"Wrong?" Partner tilted her head. "I... well, sorry."

It seemed as if Partner was slowly learning new things here.

Maybe this isn't just a trial, but a new opportunity for us to learn new things, especially my family.

They'll be able to socialize with many youths and learn about many ways people live too. "Glad they got along!" Nyx clapped. "Amazing! Mama, auntie, you did it!"

Nyx was right by our side.

"Mama?" wondered Emily. "But Nyx's Lucifer's little sister, isn't she?!"

"A-Ah, sister?!" I laughed a bit. "Ah, yeah, I mean... Yes! It's just a little game, we were playing and she calls me mama now... Leave her be, she's just a child after all, I don't really mind." I caressed Nyx's head as I winked at her.

She gasped a bit, realizing it was an act.

"Y-Yeah! She's mama, but it's a game!" Nyx winked at them.

"Huh?"

"Hm?"

Wait, did she had to wink at them though?

Emily and Alma were still a bit confused, but they didn't mind it either anyways.

Well, whatever...

"Hahhh... This is unbelievable! How could you just betray me like this!" Sofia angrily said. "I thought you were my friends! I've given you so much, and now you side with Maria and her

insanity?"

Our Russian friend wasn't really happy either way.

"Come on Sofia, let's get along, don't be selfish," said Emily.

"Y-yeah, we have to get along with everyone, let's try," Alma smiled cutely.

"T-That's! I just can't with you all, you're all so dumb!" Sofia angrily said. "And you, Maria!

What the hell is wrong with you?! Ugh, I'm out of here! And- Huh?"

"Are you sure you should be leaving like that, Sofia?"

Suddenly, Jonathan asked her, as she noticed he was with us.

"J-Jonathan...?!"

She blushed like a cute and innocent maiden, immediately stopping from getting away from

us.

Oh, I see what's going on here.

I think I understand now why she hates Maria.
