The Countess Hides a Zombie

When, on the way to her younger sibling’s academy entrance ceremony, a carriage accident killed all her siblings, what should the lone survivor do?

1. Cry her eyes out.

2. Build a grave.

The correct answer is:

“3. Bring them back to life as zombies.”

“To put it simply, your current state is... something like a zombie.”

It was a bombshell declaration.

“...A zombie?”

“Yeah.”

“Groaaah, biting people and stuff...? If you bite someone, does it spread too?”

“It’s zombie-like, but not a zombie.”

Yulia seemed at a loss for words after my kind explanation. Well, that made sense.

It was already absurd enough that she had overturned in a carriage and died, only to come back to life. And now she was told she had become a zombie. No, not even a zombie, but something “zombie-like”!

“I couldn’t help it. It would’ve been better to ask for consent, but you were all dead. I’m sorry for making you zombies without asking.”

“No, that’s not the problem!”

*

It couldn’t be helped. I had the power to bring them back.

The problem was that black mages were public enemies of the continent, and if I was exposed, everyone involved would be sentenced to death.

So I thought, ‘As long as I don’t get caught, it’ll be fine!’

But then....

“You have the ability to detect black magic.”

The crown prince asks me to help him hunt black mages,

“You’re avoiding me. You’re exactly like someone hiding something.”

A saint with a pleasant face but a hidden nature keeps approaching me,

“How did you do it? I clearly killed them all.”

And even a suspicious man of unknown identity appears.

Please, let me live quietly like a mouse!
