Alice In Another World's
Chapter 15: Continuing the Journey

While Rin had been preoccupied with his research, I sat on the roof biting an apple. Under me the zombies let out groans as usual while trying to climb.

With that kind of appearance, what they really can be cured, in my old world the zombie virus only exists in the movies but in this world everything exists.

I opened the little book that I had previously found and read the contents, this is the history of why this city is like this. One day someone carelessly showed a zombie in front of a public audience and said that he was able to make the zombie as a new energy for humans.

The man with his skills showed how, he took out a bracelet-like magic tool capable of controlling zombies.

One command from him made the zombie instantly do its job, he was told to lift things, build walls and even clean the solos without complaining, he said, of all the advantages of hiring zombies is that no one needs to feed them and they will also work all day long nonstop.

Just looking at that, anyone would obviously be interested in what it had to offer, as the time the zombie trend began to plague, everyone at least had one zombie in their home like a servant.

One day some customers complained about the stench they had caused to the merchant, of course as the cunning merchant he had expected it, he deliberately did it to earn more money.

With a grin on his face he offered a perfume capable of defeating the foul smell, he became rich and rich, zombies began to fill the entire city but when he was about to pack up to leave the city, the, the zombie he had had bitten him unexpectedly.

The merchant was sure he was still using his bracelet, should such a thing not be possible. He looked back at the bracelet he was wearing and realized something important.

The bracelet in his hand could not continue to be used, like an object when its use period ended it would become a useless item.

"I made a mistake."

Regretting it was too late for him or the residents, after all the people in this city ended as they are now.

That sounds ironic, only the fault of one person then everyone experiences the consequences, from the beginning they think to do everything easily but the ease is impossible to get without payment.

I threw the book down until the zombies started to damage it in such a way, I was not at all sure that they would heal even a little bit.

The king asks for something unreasonable and Rin struggles to grant it, all sounding exaggerated.

The reason why I received.This job is not just money, I just want to see what the end they get.

I went back to where Rin was, unlike her a few days ago, she now looks more frustrated by sitting in the corner of the room.

"I'm afraid I can't do it."

It's been three weeks since we accepted this senseless job, he should have given up or even when he accepted this job.

"Alice what should I do?"

"There's nothing we can do for them."

"Impossible?"

"When they become zombies their hearts have stopped at that very instant, things like healing them are gone, even if they come back they will definitely die in the end."

Not this time I said it even so no one wanted to hear it.

The glass around us began to break and the zombies started to enter our place, one of them moving towards me who I mercilessly beheaded with a dagger.

The head fell under my feet.

"I guess you're right, there's nothing I can do right now, their flesh has rotted away."

I smiled faintly and then carried Rin to get out of the zombie crowd, I used wind magic to add my speed to get out of the gate.

The guards immediately prevented us from leaving before the inspection, again we both had to remove our clothes.

Thank goodness I asked the examiners to do it too so it wasn't just the two of us who were embarrassed here.

Upon his return to the palace the king only resignedly received the news that happened.

"So then, thank you for working so hard all this time, if so we can only accept that the city cannot be saved."

"Then what are you going to do with the city?"

"We're going to destroy everything, it's a choice we can take. we don't want anything bad to happen in the future."

I drove Rin back to her home in the forest and said goodbye.

"Are you going to go back, Alice?"

"Yes, my goal is to travel around to see this world."

"Not many young girls want such a thing, but I'll support you."

I climbed aboard White, I gave something to Rin before my departure.

"What's this?"

"That's a recipe from a perfume that can eliminate foul odors and also make a bracelet that can control zombies, I found it from the zombies I killed."

"This?"

"Depending on you, what are you going to do?"

Rin tore off the paper to make a zombie-control bracelet while the rest he kept.

"I don't think that perfume will hurt anyone."

"Then goodbye," I said to whip White to run as fast as possible, while Rin waved me away.

Some time surrounded by the undead makes me really uncomfortable, I hope the next city a more pleasant city with a variety of people I can talk to.

Hearing the sound of zombies was really unattractive at all. From a distance I could see a city and wonder what the next country I entered would be like.

I'm thinking about it a little now, I haven't had the time to ask about the teleportation scroll. If it goes back to the king I think the place is far away now.

I arrived at the city in question and it was seen that they were busy with certain events.

"Four silver coins for the entrance fee to this country?" said one of the guards.

"It's not usually just about one silver coin" I protested.

"I don't know where you've gone but the price for each kingdom is sometimes different."

In the end I gave her as much money as she wanted, at least the same price applied to the people before me as well.

While carrying White I walked down the main street with a sense of admiration, the faithful building here looks very advanced and complete with everything you need.

People are now more busy in decorating than selling. There was a mother who was still opening her bakery so I approached her.

"Please one loaf."

"Three coppers for one loaf."

I received the bread and it certainly tasted pretty good.

"It looks like you guys are preparing for the festival? Do you do it every year."

"It's not a festival, it's actually the royal princess's wedding."

"Eh, really? Who's the lucky guy."

The seller looked confused as I asked him that, instead he whispered.

"That's another girl."

I paled.

Let's get out of here after eating something.
