The Villainess and I, her Zombie Chapter 308

*whoosh*

"Hey... are we there yet...?"

Zombie asked while kicking up his feet, sitting on the hard seat of a worn-down carriage.

His question was partially excusable, after all from what he knew, it took two weeks for his father to write a letter to Laura, sent it, and then get her to arrive – then why their travel was already two weeks long?! It wasn't like they were making lots of stops or anything, they basically only stopped for the night to rest.

Also, Laura wasn't allowing him to wander off or go hunt monsters a night at all.

While it was understandable, it didn't mean that Zombie would accept everything without a word.

Patience sounded as if they shrugged their shoulders and explained.

And who asked her to do that? It's not like my parents didn't have the money. Also, I'm not going to forget that they rushed to the so-called proper medic and made that piece of filth look like nothing happened while I had to be patched up by the shocked old lady Apricot after we killed the demon centipede, poor granny almost had a heart attack when she saw me. But that pile of waste? Best medic available right away! They should just leave that filth messed up like that.

Zombie complained internally while turning to stare through the window once he got no answer from the woman dozing off next to him.

Patience sighed and pointed out.

Good. It would be perfect if she was so scared of me that she would think twice before approaching me in the future.

Zombie scoffed and crossed his arms.

Patience reassured him sounding as if they smiled.

*whoosh*

Alright... With that out of the way, say, do you think that if I started kicking the opposite seat or the door, I would gain the strong kick faster? Or any leg base attack for the matter? Not having one is really bothering me, I miss my old speed.

Zombie changed the subject seamlessly and sighed while continuing to kick up his legs.

Patience asked curiously.

So that is how it was, interesting... Still, to answer your earlier question – do not hit this shabby carriage, that things barely hold together, look, see this crossroad? We're only a few hours away from the destination and Laura's place. You don't want to walk there without your skills, right? On your short legs, it would take you five days to reach it by foot.

"...tsk..."

Patience once again sounded as if they were shrugging their shoulders indifferently, causing Zombie to click his tongue.

Patience reassured the young boy and reminded him about the things they've planned for the future.

They added a warning.

I know, relax.

Nodded in agreement and smirked.

"...still, it's so boring... what happened to all the bandits...?"

Zombie went ahead and let out an actual verbal sigh, shaking his head in annoyance.

As it turned out it was also one of the questions that Patience had and answer.

They've added.

"Bandits? Where?!"

Laura jumped up from her seat, with her hand already at her sword's handle.

...annoying...

Zombie's expression turned sour.

"I was just saying that we were lucky that never encountered any bandits. I'm sorry for waking you up."

But almost instantly that expression changed into an innocent smile as Zombie explained politely.

"By the way, could you teach me some of the sword skills once we finally arrive at the destination?"

He added putting his hands up to make it seem like he was much more excited than he actually was.

"...sure... IF your behavior will improve that is!"

Laure sat back down and declared, raising her index finger as a warning.
