Alice In Another World's
Chapter 14: Zombie Town

"White you want a carrot?"

When I thrust the object, White took it into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

"What tastes good?"

Although we seemed to be relaxing, we were not really like that, I received a job to pick up an alchemist who lived in a hut in the forest, when I met, it was surprising that she turned out to be a young girl the same age as me.

At this time he was changing clothes, before long the door was opened featuring a girl with a hair tie and wearing a coat.

She's a pretty girl in a little tomboy.

"I'm ready."

"Of course, go up we'll ride."

"Then let me take her."

I don't mind it, I sit in the back while he does it.

"So you're sure you're taking on a job like this?"

"Because the king needs me then it's not that I have no other choice."

"You can still choose, after all, the request makes no sense," found my prompt reply the girl laughed.

By the way his name is Rin he has lived in this forest for a long time and sometimes some people come to him if they need some kind of medicine or so on.

We came out of the forest, running all the way through the meadow to find a city built near the lake. The guards who knew me immediately let me in to meet the king as soon as possible.

In front of Rin's throne kneeled while I kept myself standing as I was, I was not bound to any king or country so I did not need to show any respect.

"Thank you for accepting my request."

"It's nothing to me, but I'm not sure I can live up to your expectations, for his own failure may still be high."

"No problem, you want to try to do it is also good.I just want to give the opportunity for the city to be saved, I'm sure there is no one alchemist who is greater than you."

"You look too high at me."

The king turned his gaze towards me which I answered as it was.

"I understand, during work I will continue to be near him."

"Thank you very much, you can rest for today and tomorrow please do your duty."

"Good."

I was a bit dislikeful of this formality, we turned down the offer to stay in the palace and chose to rent a room for lodging ourselves. I lay my body on the bed while Rin sat while tidying up her hair.

Given that the work Rin had received was troublesome to make me sigh deeply, he had to return one city affected by the zombie outbreak, as the name suggests they had become some kind of monster that was hard to control.

It would be easier to kill them all but this king was too good to do so, if he had any hope they could be cured then he would try it.

I asked Rin again.

"Do you think zombies can be returned to their human form?"

"Zombies are dead creatures so that's impossible, but the zombies that now used to be humans who were bitten by zombies to change like that, like that, if it's only been two weeks I think we still have a chance to save them."

I think he's a genius if he thinks so. Whatever it is, I'm just watching him.

The next morning Rin was given a horse of her own to ride, I ran next to her with White until I reached a completely isolated town.

Several guards were placed in front of him to prevent anyone from entering.

Rin and I nodded in agreement, here is a checkpoint that many girls handle, when we go out they will examine our bodies.

"It feels embarrassing if we have to be checked every time we go back."

To be honest I was also so even for a fellow girl showing off our naked bodies was a bit.

In the end we decided not to go out much. Rin and I started to enter the city.

The sound of the closed gate was the only thing we heard in the back, the zombies gradually started popping up. I've already prepared a dagger in my hand if required I will definitely kill them.

They're zombies of course I have no doubt about it at all.

"Please don't do anything weird."

"If we don't fight we'll be zombies, eventually if we fail this city will be destroyed, which is why it's a good choice."

"We can avoid the zombies by going up to the roof."

He managed to read my mind, I already knew about it but this way solved the problem faster. Rin and I finally got into the building and climbed the stairs to get to the roof.

I could see how the zombies surrounded us while saying. "Augggh. Aaaagh" before choosing to walk back to the other place.

On the other hand Rin begins to observe all their actions, writing them down in notes before trying to start her research.

We will use this building as our headquarters, there are three floors in total, our first floor has completely closed it until no zombies enter. The window also I've blocked with wood so we'll be safe for some time to come.

We've brought food but I guess it'll only last three days, before it's up we're forced to get out.

"Then Alice, I beg her for help."

"You how else."

I had gone alone to take the blood stye that Rin wanted. So which zombie am I gonna sacrifice.

I intend to kill one if he doesn't want to cooperate, I pull a dagger to aim for one in front of me. Of course I don't use it but rather use the injection in the other hand. When the zombies shouted I had jumped to escape to the top.

These zombies were terrifying, moreover they were also smart enough to start barging into the building just to chase after me, I was a little worried about Rin and came back as fast as I could.

It was a relief that he was still fine with some of the bottles he had stacked well as if they were in a certain laboratory. Alchemists themselves are more towards making medicines, potions and other things.

On the appeal of witches they are a little more powerful because they are required to be able to everything.

"Alice you're back?"

"The blood you want."

"You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

"Of course not."

"Good."

While he was working I laid myself on the couch.

"Why do you think the king cares so much about this city?"

"From what I've heard he actually lived here, he was a commoner until he married a princess and became the king he is today."

"So, he must be the lucky guy who can marry a princess, from which I know a million men sometimes dream of doing that."

"That's obviously information that's not necessarily true."

I just put my shoulder up in return.
