"Ah... I see something... more frenzy rabbits, I feel a little bad, those fluffy fellows are so cute... Anyway, by any chance do you know where are we? Is it still Prides territory or not?"

The blue boy ended up asking out loud since it didn't really seem like there was anyone who could overhear him anyway – except for rabbits of course.

|Still in the Prides territory but too close to the edge of the Gluttony territory if you ask me...|

Patience ended up answering with a sigh of defeat, but in her voice, there was some unsaid worry.

"The Gluttonys with their inborn shapeshifting ability might be a problem, but no one mentioned their involvement during capturing the dragon back in the first playthrough, or am I remembering wrong...? That part didn't really stand out to me so I have a hard time recalling it..."

|Zombie, you forget about something more important – the Greeds could simply lie or put pressure on the Gluttonys to hand over the dragon – anyway, watch out for any werewolves.|

Patience warned him since indeed his behavior wasn't overly cautious for someone with such limited information and so much to lose.

|But, more importantly, how are you going to catch the food for the little guy without getting a portion of the EXP from it? You do remember that receiving an attack also counts as taking part in a fight – that's how tanks are able to level up even without dealing a single point of damage to the enemy. Don't tell me that you forgot about that too?|

The sealed overseer pointed out sounding as if he furrowed her brows and glared at the blue undead while crossing her hands with a strict expression.

"What, are you telling me you don't know what I'm about to do? Really?"

Zombie stopped and made a mocking expression.

|Sh-shut up! It's not like I'm reading your mind all the time, even a stupid idiot like you deserves some privacy!|

Patience gasped and answered hurriedly in embarrassment.

"Dear system. Kopia. Our favorite sealed overseer completely forgot about you!"

Zombie let out a fake gasp and patted the crossguard of his sword.

"Tehehe...! She is ignoring me because I am useful and she can only nag!"

Before Patience could say something against such accusation the high-pitched frequency noise came out of the expensive scabbard and turned into words.

|Shut up! How are you more useful than I am! You are just a sword! Even if you kill something, Zombie will still get the experience!|

The sealed overseer called out angrily, ready to pick a fight with the sword at any time.

"That's not actually true."

Zombie shook his head with a big bright smile.

|Eh...?|

Which made Patience gasp in disbelief.

"Tehehe! I only count as a piece of the equipment when I'm touching master!"

Kopia let out more high-pitched noises and explained.

Suddenly the short sword moved on her own, jumping out of the scabbard and a few strands of the crimson hair retracted from Zombie's right hand...

"Ta-dam!"

With a flash of white light, where just a second ago a one-handed shortsword was sticking out stuck in the ground, stood a cheerful crimson-haired girl with piercing light-blue eyes wearing a cute fluffy dress.

"See? If It's like that, I'm just some stray sword running around on my own!"

Kopia exclaimed, jumping around happily as if she had enough of being stuck in a scabbard no matter how comfortable it was.

|Hah! So that's how it works...|

Patience sounded as if she nodded with interest – but, well, since Kopia let go of Zombie, she could no longer hear the sealed overseer so she didn't answer – but she sure waited for the reaction fully expecting to hear it normally.

|She's not very bright, is she?|

Patience sighed as the crimson-haired girl tilted her head wondering why she doesn't hear the sealed overseer's voice anymore.

|Well... all the sharpness went to her blade so there was nothing left for her brain, I guess.|

Zombie shrugged his shoulders and thought with a sigh.

"Kopia. Since you already came out, go and catch some weak monsters for the little dragon to eat – just make sure you don't finish them yourself – we want him to level up."

Zombie spoke and instructed the humanoid blade showing her where the nearest monsters should be.

"Yes! Leave it all to me, master!"

Kopia exclaimed in excitement and even saluted, though it was rather curious from where did she pick up that gesture...

*whoosh*

And in the next moment, her body shone with white light and her hands transformed into some eery hybrid of human limbs augmented with long blades and she run in the direction that the blue undead pointed her in and rushed ahead, cutting through the air.

"..."

That made Zombie stop in place with a rather shocked expression – blinking with confusion after the disappearing humanoid blade.

|I take that you didn't know she could do that?|

Patience asked reading into Zombie's silence.

"Well... I just realized that even if she doesn't have a level, I've sure fed her with a lot of quite strong weapons... If she can actually use it like that, then she might turn out to be a far more useful ally than I ever hoped for..."

Zombie muttered in disbelief.

"Master! I already got one!"

"SWEEEEEEE! (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!)"

And just as he finished speaking, the crimson-haired girl returned, holding the absolutely horrified frenzy rabbit by its ears – while her sharp dagger-fingers were cutting into its flesh, causing it to howl in both fear and pain.

"Quick! Incapacitate its legs and throw it here!"

Zombie gasped and rushed back to the cave entrance, spreading open the bushes.

"(I've told you to go aw-h-huh?!)"

The dragon cried out using telepathy but gasped in shock when a screeching wounded rabbit flew towards him from the entrance and bounced against the ground reeking with the enticing smell of fresh blood that a young starved carnivore could not resist at all.

"(...)"

*CHOMP*

*CRUNCH*

*GULP*

"(...)"

This frenzy rabbit went down the dragon's throat even easier than the first one – and even though the red monster didn't say anything, Zombie could feel that it was laying down in anticipation – unable to win against the hunger and silently hoping for another tasty treat to come flying his way...

"Good job, Kopia. Go catch another one."

"Tehehe! Sure, master!"

Zombie praised the humanoid sword with a light pat on the crimson hair and sent her off again.
