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

-----

Everyone praised Amelia's cookies, they were perhaps the best we've eaten all our lives, and the tea went so well. Seriously the food of this world was almost exactly the same as modern Earth, so it was one of those wonderful delights we could indulge into all we wanted.

"Heheh! I'm glad that my talents are recognized once in a while, feels nice feels nice!" nodded Amelia while crossing her arms proudly as she nodded happily.

Then she glanced at me with a slightly serious, more interested expression in her slightly carefree face, looking directly into my eyes.

"Anyways, how has the academy been going, Arthur, Maria? Anything has happened so far? Nothing bad I hope?"

Huh? It felt slightly weird for some reason.

Why did she get so serious out of nowhere?

Well, whatever.

"Ah well…" I muttered. "Well there were some incidents, yeah."

I wanted to just not tell her, but I ended slipping my tongue and saying something I shouldn't have!

Now that I said "There were some incidents" then she'll definitely pursue it to no end, based on her personality portrayed so far.

"What incidents?" she asked, worried, as she drank some tea. "Tell me!"

"Err…"

Should we really tell them these things? Wouldn't it be bad to make her worry. Ah well, I already said something so I might as well not leave her hanging, dammit. I have to tell her anyways at the end.

"So…"

I explained to her what happened in the first day of the week, the Nightmare Realms that "went wrong" and were full of powerful Nightmares that weren't suited for newbies.

But we omitted the part about the Nightmare Demon, Beatriz, as that was a secret from everyone… we also talked about what happened with Sofia but without saying it was her fault.

So basically we decided to just tell everyone it was a random, naturally occurring Nightmare Realm thingy that just happened, and we got trapped but we freed ourselves.

"And that happened today?!"

Amelia's reaction however was incredibly… expected, as a caring big sister, just hearing her two younger siblings were in such danger shocked her.

"Yes but Arthur was fine, and it only happened to me and my friends, we resolved it with the power of our friendship!" I said with a smile.

"Dummy! Why did you just jump into danger like that?! Do you want to die so badly!" Amelia screamed, shaking my body by grabbing my shirt.

"I-I'm sorry?! I just wanted to help them!" I cried.

"Haahhh…" she sighed. "What am I going to do with you two, you're too reckless… Hahh… Hahhh… Ugh…"

Suddenly she started gasping for air, looking sickly and sweating a lot.

"Amelia! Are you okay?"

I touched her and felt her forehead was burning, she was having a small fever? So easily?

Is it the cancer in her chest?

"Sister…"

Arthur also got worried, walking to her side.

"I-I'm fine… I… Hahh… I got a bit too agitated there, my bad."

"Let me see if I can help."

Arthur touched her back, infusing his healing energies into her body and then her chest.

He could seamlessly wield the power of Yin and Yang Essence as I had modified and transformed his newly made body to do so.

But even then that was a bit too much, wouldn't she notice something weird?!

"A-Ah? I…. I feel good out of nowhere? Oh wow…" she muttered. "Arthur! Is that some new magic spell? Since when you got something like that, dear?"

"Oh, um… I just developed it after training for so long," Arthur said. "I'm glad it could be of help… sister."

"No potion has ever made me feel this good before! W-What in the world…" Amelia was completely dazzled. "Not only I learn you almost died, but now Arthur learned a miraculous healing spell?! It's just one thing after another, I swear…"

"We're sorry for worrying you," said Arthur. "I hope you can feel better now…"

"Yeah what he said!" I nodded. "Sorry."

"It's okay I guess…" she nodded with a smile. "Are you staying for tonight? Oh! Will your friends stay too? There are many unoccupied rooms upstairs!"

"Oh sure," I nodded. "Right everyone?"

"Yeah," Lucifer agreed. "I wouldn't mind if you invite us, Amelia. Thank you."

"Thankies!" Nyx said.

"Hmm, thank you, nom…" Celes kept eating cookies even now.

"Celes here also has a lot of healing spells, so if you ever feel bad again let us know," said Nia. "He'll heal you right away, right?"

"Yes!" Celes nodded.

"Fufu, aren't you all so nice?" Amelia smiled. "Phew, well, let's continue chatting. There's so much I want to catch up with since I left the academy… How are the teachers doing? Oh, what about the students! Is that cocky girl of Sofia doing alright? What about the timid Alma? And that girl Emily?"

"Oh right… well… They've gotten much stronger since then," I explained. "Alma and Emily have developed new ways of using their Dream Weapons that go beyond their original abilities… Emily has figured out long-ranged attacks with the lightning of her armor, and Alma also learned water offensive spells with her staff's water element."

"Oooh! So amazing… those girls were already pretty good but if they have become even stronger, then that's definitely a great thing to hear!" said Amelia with a gentle smile. "Alma in specific, has she become a bit more confident?"

"Yes, much more!" I nodded. "Also Emily is being less reckless as well… And Sofia is… well, she has become kinder."

"Kinder?! That cocky girl? Hah! I wish I could see that myself…" laughed Amelia. "Oh well, you've certainly changed them, huh?"

"M-Me? I mean… it has only been two days- I mean yeah… I don't know," I shrugged. "Maybe? It's just… I'm trying to help."

"Ah, I see!" she giggled. "Well, how about you help out making dinner? I haven't realized but the sun's already all set."

"Ah sure…" I nodded. "Let me help then!"

"Me too," said Arthur.

"Me too!" Nyx said.

"And me!" Celes ran to us.

"I could also help in anything I could," Nia said.

"Me too I guess? I would be left behind if I don't do anything…" Lucifer sighed.

Like that, we gave Amelia a lot of company and cooked together.

Though, I wonder how Jonathan and Emeraldine are doing.
