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

-----

At the end, it seemed that Emeraldine settled down bout everything and quickly took several notes in her notebook. She was seemingly drawing while taking notes, as if she was getting inspirations. Wow, is she that talented at making things? Maybe she's really someone amazing.

"Hmm… I guess a suit similar to that one for Lucifer… But let's add Holy Light Resistance… Life Resistance as well." Emeraldine murmured, as she sometimes spoke her own thoughts. "For Partner I suppose that and that would do… Let's not forget about this other thing… Ah, and for Maria! Well… a dress suits her, right? A beautiful hat maybe… a black hat? A widow-like hat! It would… Oh my, she has so many styles…"

"E-Emeraldine, your food is getting a bit cold." I said.

"R-Right!" Emeraldine snapped out of her thoughts and quickly began to dig-in the food. "Ah, wow, this is really good."

"Stop praising the food, it wasn't even made that well…" Lucifer sighed. He was feeling extremely flustered by our praises, I assume.

"Hehe, but it is pretty well made! You're a good chef." I said with a smile.

"We want seconds!" Takeshi and Laura said, giving Lucifer their plates.

"Ah… Sigh, fine." Lucifer said, serving the kids some more.

Meanwhile, the little Wyvern was devouring a large bowl of stew and skewered meat served to him at the side, over a big tree leaf we found. He seemed to have never eaten anything at all for a while, so he was extremely happy the more food he ate.

"Piii, piii…!"

Even Onyx, the Phoenix was enjoying the food. Although he was slightly annoyed that it was made out of the birds, it simply tried it out anyways and found it all too delicious to pass on. It still looked slightly sad that it was eating other birds but it quickly got over it and asked for seconds. I suppose the Phoenix was quite simple minded.

It was an overall… relaxing break.

For a moment I couldn't help but smile and enjoy this little moment with everybody. I smiled lightly as I felt like I wanted this time to last forever. All of us together, eating food, enjoying our lives, smiling, laughing… Adventuring with them across the world, discovering new cities, new people, and hunting monsters. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of eternity like this with them.

…But I guess that deep down, I know there's still things left to do. The Vampires, the whole Albraun Kingdom Conspiracy, my family's death, my little brother's whereabouts… There's a lot I want to find out. And also not only for me but for Emeraldine and Lucifer. We have yet to find that mysterious dragon Aquamarine talked about. I really hope it might be someone related to my Lucifer so he can be happy someone at least survived the war back then.

Then there's the whole issue with the ice back in our town, and if the culprit behind might really be the Frost Queen from the damn Ice Giants, then we'll end up getting into a lot of fighting… Ah, it is both annoying and also concerning, but I know I can't do much about it myself other than eventually get to it.

And well, I also want to visit Emeraldine's hometown and meet her uncle which she always talks so much about all the time… It would be nice. We might end up going after we get our Dwarf business done.

"Hey Lucifer make more skewered meat; I want more chicken! Add that spice that we got from the dwarves, it is very tasty!" Said Partner.

"Eh? I already cooked three whole birds; you know how big they are? You've stuffed yourself enough if you eat any more you're going to explode like a balloon!" Lucifer angrily replied.

"Eeeeh? The only one that's going to explode like a balloon is you!" Partner said furiously. "I am not yet full either!"

"Your belly is already big." I sighed. "Partner just wait for dinner."

"Ugh… Okay." Partner sighed. Despite being a Vampire that mostly enjoyed drinking blood, she also enjoyed eating normal food, and a lot of it. Whenever she didn't had enough humanoid blood she compensated by eating tons of food.

It is rather hard to come by with blood for her, after all she can only satiate herself with blood made out of humans and other humanoid races but going around asking for people's blood is a bit weird, even more without proper blood banks.

For now I've got her a ton of Vampire Blood, her favorite, which we got from our previous battle against all those guys. I might go collect her some bandit blood from some nearby bandits that could be threatening the dwarf country or the other country near our own village. At least with the blood we got she should be able to be alright for the next months.

"Here dear." I quickly gave her a small bottle with Vampire Blood diluted with a mix of heal and stamina potion, this way the blood can last longer and she gets almost the same satiation.

"Ahh!" Partner quickly got happy, drinking it all in one go. "Phew… Ahhh… I feel better now."

Sigh… It is my own fault she's a Vampire now. It was due to me raising her like this that she evolved this way. I guess I just have to take responsibility. I just hope there's enough human trash out there for her to drink their blood from. The Vampires get their blood from innocent slaves, but I am not going to let her feed herself this way.

"Lucifer, how did Vampires got blood back then when the Demon Kingdom was still alive?" I asked.

"Hmm, that's a good question." Lucifer said with a smile. "Vampires were our strongest warriors and they were known as the Knights of the Demon King. The Demon King got them a stable supply of blood by asking for donations and paying his citizens for their donations of blood. Often done annually."

"Eh? I see… I guess there were a lot of citizens back then, so it was doable." I sighed.

"Hmm, I suppose you could do the same with our village, although Partner seems odd to me." Said Lucifer.

"How so?"
