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

Chapter 1184: Meeting Old Friends 2



A lot has happened since the last time we met with Helga, honestly. Too much has happened, I would dare say. I felt slightly nostalgic coming back to the dwarven Kingdom and meeting with her and her family again.

It has been over a year since we met, I would say it's been two years by now? Yeah, it has been a long, long, long while! Her kids are all grown up now, I can't believe that two years was all it took for most of them to get so tall.

I guess their father's genes were kicking in strong there, although a few remained smaller.

"Come in! Come in!"

Helga happily received us. Veredorr and Tear though, had gone somewhere else, they were on their own date, so I didn't want to bother them.

But they sure were being lovey-dovey all over the place! Every ten seconds they were kissing or flirting with one another, damn.

a bit

I bet they went to a hotel because I'm sure that after all that kissing and flirting, they got a excited...

Well, it's almost certain because Veredorr asked me if I knew of a place to stay for a few hours. So I guess Veredorr will be father pretty soon, seeing the rate in which they... well, do it.

"Welcome back, Maria! Everyone! Wow, you brought a lot of new friends! Lucifer, Emeraldine, Partner, and little Nyx too, welcome back!"

Myriad, Helga's husband, a tall red-skinned Majin man wearing glasses and looking nerdy despite his big and muscular build, welcomed us with a humble smile.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Thank you! Yeah I brought a lot of new friends here... This is Fabian, Beery, Nick, Garon, and Spectra! They're kids we adopted when we went to visit the golden sand confederation!" "Nice to meetcha!"

"Hi..."

"Wow, the house is big!"

"Hello!"

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"A lot of kids here! Huh!" laughed Helga. "Oh! There you are, Laura and Takeshi too! You've got so many kids, are you opening an orphanage, Maria? Hahaha!"

"Aaah, I guess so? Hahaha! Anyways, what do you have for lunch?" I smiled cheekily.

"My goodness! Aren't you hungry?" sighed Helga. "Can't be helped! Let's make a huge feast for everyone, Maria brought a whole battalion here, hahaha!"

"I guess so," sighed Myriad, nodding.

"Don't worry I brought a lot of stuff too! Come on, do you think we're like that?" I said.

"Yeah, I brought a lot of veggies from our farm!" Emeraldine carried with her a bag full of fresh vegetables.

"Got some game I hunted on the way here..." Partner said. "I can bleed it out and skin it really quick and we got some fresh Snow Deer meat!"

"I brought a lot of ingredients as well," said Lucifer. "Mostly a lot of spices and stuff from the desert countries, I am sure you'll like it."

Helga and Myriad immediately became happier, quickly welcoming us inside. We helped them cook while I introduced them to the rest of my family, including Nia, Celes, and Jonathan. I was pretty open about Jonathan and Nia being my romantic partners, and Helga was a bit surprised but didn't really mind at the end.

"Well we all know you're pretty unsatiable, you already had three before and now five, haha!" laughed Helga. "Well! Your family is sure warm and welcoming, and this boy, is he well behaved?"

"I am!" Celes nodded cutely. "I like auntie Maria's family, everyone is nice... A-And Nyx is cute... and the best!"

"Is that so? Hehehe!" Helga smiled at Celes. "So you like her~?"

"E-Eeeh?!" Celes grew redder. "T-That's not... it....!"

We couldn't help but smile and giggle a bit, the little kid was too cute.

"Thank you for your hospitality," said Nia. "It really means a lot! I am still getting to know the life of my dear, so it's nice to know she has so many different friends! It is a bit overwhelming, but it's nice. Your city is so beautiful and advanced too! Nothing like the city I came from."

"Is that so, haha! Glad you like the place, can get really noise sometimes, so sorry if you can't sleep well," sighed Helga. "Us dwarves got the obsession with constructing stuff all the time, so you'll see dwarves making shit everywhere, be careful when walking on the streets too!" "A-Ah! Yes!" Nia nodded, making several mental noses as she heard Helga's warnings. She was really cute.

"I also have to thank you," said Jonathan. "It really means a lot."

"Oh my, weren't you a hero or something? You're always welcome here, mister hero!" Helga said. "Right Myriad?"

"Eh? Ah, yeah!" Myriad nodded from afar, he was roasting a lot of meat with Partner and Lucifer's help in their backyard.

"And this is my brother! The very reason we went to the sands was for him! Arthur be nice and say hi," I said, bringing my brother who had been rather silent, he's not that good with social interactions.

"H-Hi, thank you for having me, miss Helga," Arthur said nervously.

"Hahaha! No need to be so stiff, young man! So you're Maria's brother, huh? A lot must have happened... I'm just glad you're alright," Helga smiled, petting his head.

"Thank you..." Arthur looked genuinely happy for a bit.

Nice, I did well in bringing him along, he really didn't want to come, but I need him to learn to socialize a bit at the very least! Most of the time he just likes spending time in the library or inside his room. I guess it's overwhelming how much life has changed for him.

"Arthur! Want to come with us? We're going to buy some groceries!" suddenly Laura stepped

in, holding his arm.

My brother blushed a bit.

"Ah, Laura, sure..." he nodded calmly, walking out with Laura and Takeshi.

Well, thankfully those two are doing their best to be his friends.

And... I can already tell Laura likes him a lot.

My brother blushed when she touched him, so maybe he reciprocates?

We'll see!

Anyways, once we were done cooking and my brother came back with Laura and Takeshi bringing freshly baked bread and cheese from the nearby bakery, we had a huge feast with

Helga's family.

Overall, it was a really nice day, and I enjoyed myself more than I thought. Slowly, I am getting ready to depart.
