Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1334: Francis

-----

And so, after finding a new friend, Nyx decided to move forward and find her mom and her new friends. Despite having been thrown inside of this bizarre Nightmare Realm, she seemed completely unaffected by whatever power it held over people that entered, and it seemed that Francis as well was unaffected, as she presented no anomalies, even more, she seemed to be immune to Nightmare Miasma.

"You don't really feel weird or sickly, Francis? Are you sure?" Nyx wondered, as the girl sat over the large head of a Phantom Dragon, Francis was right by her side.

"Wooow!" Francis was amazed by what was happening. "I'm really over the head of a dragon! T-This is crazy! It's really a dream, hehehe!"

"Francis!" Nyx called again.

"Aeh? Oh! No, don't worry Nyx! I'm fine!" Francis smiled cutely. "I don't know what that mud was, but it didn't really affect me negatively."

"I see… Well that's fine then!" Nyx nodded.

"Hmm, now that I think about it, you're different than other people, Nyx…" Francis noticed. "You've got horns and a cute tail… And black scales! Wow! Are you some kind of creature?"

"C-Creature? I'm a dragon!" Nyx said, crossing her arms grumpily. "We are a proud family of warriors and guardians of Yggdrasil!"

"Yggdrasil? Where's that at?" Francis tilted her head.

"A-Ah… Hmm…" Nyx groaned. "Uh, somewhere! Anyway, is it weird?"

"Ah… no, I just have never seen someone like that before…" Francis said. "I think it's cute! And cool! Are you strong like dragons too?"

"Super strong!" Nyx nodded. "I can beat any baddie!"

"Wooow! So cool!" Francis was amazed. "I… I'm a nobody in comparison though…"

"Huh?"

Nyx noticed that Francis suddenly looked down, feeling sad out of nowhere.

Then Nyx noticed she had a lot of bruises on her legs.

"Why a nobody?" Nyx asked. "Also what are those bruises?"

"Uh? A-Ah! I… I keep falling all the time, I'm dumb," Francis sighed.

"Y-You fall?" Nyx wondered.

"Yeah… mom said that it was because of my vision. I kind of… can't tell well where I'm walking sometimes…" sighed Francis. "But the doctor said I'll get better as I grow up… Haha… it's funny right? I fall all the time and… and… and the kids laugh so much… I'm glad… I make them happy, hm…"

"Oh…" Nyx noticed that Francis wasn't really being honest. "Thats sucks… I wish they didn't laugh at you! it's not like it's something you can control…"

"R-Right? I don't know why they always laugh…" Francis nodded a bit. "I-I mean it's fine if they laugh all the time! I don't care…"

"I don't know, it doesn't feel like you don't care…" Nyx said. "Hmm… I don't like bullies… Should I go to your school and teach them a lesson?"

"E-Eh? No don't go!" said Francis. "Also you have to go to this island academy you talked about…"

"Meh, I could fly to your school in a jiffy and then come back for lunch!" said Nyx. "I'm pretty fast!"

"But… I don't think that's a good thing," said Francis. "You're a total stranger after all… I might get… blamed or something. Like always…"

"Hmm! Ugh…" Nyx groaned, she wasn't used to deal with these problems because she never went to a kindergarten or something, all the kids she knew were nice to her and she was nice to them too. "Sorry… I guess I said dumb stuff."

Noticing her sincerity, Francis smiled, patting Nyx's head.

"It's fine…" she smiled. "I think you're a good girl, Nyx."

"Thanks…" Nyx sighed. "But I miss mama. I wonder where she is?"

"Your mother?" wondered Francis. "I also miss mine too… And my sister."

"Were you with them when you got here?" Nyx asked.

"I… I was…"

Francis tried to remember, but seemed confused, looking around the white landscape, and then back at Nyx, and then once more back to her hands and foot.

She seemed to be trying to remember.

"Francis?"

"I… I think… there were a lot of books."

"Books?"

"Yeah, like some kind of library… No libraries are different."

"A bookstore?"

"Yeah! Like- Ugh…"

Suddenly, Francis felt a throbbing pain in her head, massaging her head while groaning.

"Ouchies… my head hurt…"

"You got a headache? Drink this potion!"

Nyx took out the potion that was left from what she gave to Francis to wake her up, the girl drank it, finding it bitter.

"Ugh, it's bitter…"

"Do you feel better?"

"Yeah… Sorry, I just can't remember well, I don't know why. But it was definitely a bookstore of some sort."

"I see! Well, don't worry about it, we'll get there."

"When though?"

"E-Eventually? Hahah…"

The duo continued traveling across the endless white expanse, following the Nightmare Miasma River where Nyx found Francis, which led to somewhere, as it constantly flowed.

"I could probably go all-out and destroy the ceiling or the floor…" said Nyx. "But for now let's try another way… A more peaceful one."

"Y-You could do that?!" Francis wondered.

"I mean, I think I could!" Nyx giggled, eating a chocolate bar. "So Francis, do you have other friends? What do you play with them?"

"Friends?" Francis asked. "I… Uh, I don't really have friends."

"What? You don't?! but everyone has friends!" Nyx said.

"W-Well, not me…" Francis said. "I tried to make friends but… mama always says I just have to be nice. And my sister said she had liked a dozen friends… I just can't, ok?"

"Uh-huh…" Nyx muttered, looking worried. "Sorry… I didn't want to make you feel upset. Its just my first time seeing someone without friends."

"It's… ok, I know it's weird. I'm a weirdo, dumb, stupid… idiot…" Francis muttered, looking more upset. "That nobody cares about… and that everyone laughs… because… I fall… Sniff…"

Nyx's eyes widened when she noticed the girl started crying.

"Francis…" Nyx walked to her side.

"L-Leave me alone… You'll get infected with my stupidity…" Francis muttered. "The kids always say that… that I'm… a r-retarded person…"

"You aren't! You're a normal girl to me!" Nyx said, hugging her tightly.

"Eek! D-Don't hug me!" Francis complained, pushing Nyx away.

"O-Okay! sorry, sorry… I didn't know you didn't like to be hugged…" Nyx said. "I always hug everyone… sorry…"

"A-Ah… it's… it's fine… Sorry, I'm being dumb again…" Francis sighed. "I-I owe you a lot… I shouldn't had been mean…"

"It's ok," Nyx smiled a bit. "Let's take it easy then- Uh! Oh! Look!"

"Eh? There's grass?" Francis noticed something.

The girls found a strange crack in the white space, a hole within it where the Nightmare Miasma was concentrating and burning through.

"Yeah, there's something over there!" Nyx nodded. "It's grass! Finally we got somewhere! Let's go Francis!"

"Uwaaah! W-Wait Nyx!" Francis screamed in surprise and horror as Nyx grabbed her and jumped out of the Phantom Dragon, lifting her up as she flew using her wings. "Woooah! Y-You can fly?!"

"Yeah! Hehehe! It's cool to fly!" Nyx giggled, carrying her new friend along for the journey.

"I-I'm scared! Uwah! I'm going to piss myself!" Francis cried.

"A-Ah! Wait up! Don't do it!" Nyx cried.

The girls descended rapidly into the grassy area, as Francis dropped exhausted over the ground, barely resisting.

"Uuggh… D-Don't do that again…"

"Hahaha… sorry…"
