Yesterday, I single-handedly removed the wolf skin from the dead wolf. The four that Karona took care of were all killed with a sword, so the fur was not in good condition. On the other hand, the seven that I killed were of good quality. Now I am a businessman and I need to look at things with a businessman's perspective. If there are risks involved, there should be rewards, and I won't let them go in vain.

Karona was overwhelmed by the final blow from the wolf king, and although she survived, she was still immersed in the fear of death narrowly escaped. I understand her feelings, even though from my perspective, everything was expected, but for her, it was definitely a psychological shadow.

Peeling off the wolf skin by oneself is a lot of work, and I also had to apply medicine to Karona.

When I suggested that Karona take care of her own wounds, she looked at me with empty eyes, then slowly unbuttoned her shirt and took off her pajamas. The round neckline of her pajamas slipped down to her elbows, revealing her fragrant shoulders and... Hmm, they were quite large. And it seemed like she wasn't wearing anything underneath... No, wait! I'm not someone who can't resist temptation! After all, she is just a child! Clear your mind, clear your mind.

Anyway, before I even had a chance to see anything, I quickly moved behind her with the pride of my speed. Hmm, her snow-white back is also quite seductive. Smooth as natural jade, a gentle poke with the fingertips can feel the tender and elastic characteristics unique to a young girl. Even with a hint of blood, I can clearly identify the pleasant scent.

I slapped myself to regain control and finally applied ointment to her wounds.

"How does it feel? Does it hurt?"

Ah! What a shameful thing to say! The ointment I made has both hemostatic and antibacterial effects. It might be more effective than healing magic, but it might sting a bit.

However, Karona just buttoned up her shirt without saying anything and shivered as she curled up in her sleeping bag.

Well, I hope she doesn't have any nightmares.

I placed the wolf skin above the flames to dry and sat there until dawn.

The original plan was for me to sleep in the carriage during the day today, but in the morning, I realized that Karona still didn't seem to be feeling any better, so I had to take responsibility for driving the horses. Pulling an all-nighter is not a big deal for me, so I didn't mind.

"Is everything okay with Big Brother and Karona?"

Early in the morning, little Ilan noticed Karona's abnormality. Indeed, it is not normal for someone to still be shivering in their sleeping bag after waking up.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine."

Saying that, I focused on what was ahead.

I had a vague sense of something ominous in the area we entered just now.

There was an eerie chill that made one's spine tingle. It was a kind of cold that was different from the coldness of winter.

It grew stronger and stronger.

When I brushed past a tree, the chill reached its peak. I subconsciously looked towards the tree and caught a glimpse of a white figure. A woman with long hair and blood-red lips, with a grotesque and eerie smile, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. It's not that I couldn't perceive her speed, perhaps there was nothing there from the beginning.

Since I understood what it was, I couldn't just ignore it.

I immediately stopped the carriage.

"Sorry, little Ilan, wait a moment."

I stood in front of the tree and started digging the soil with my hands. The nearby soil wasn't hard.

After just a few digs, I could see a pile of white bones.

The clothes had rotted away, and only a clean skeleton remained.

If I hadn't been reborn in this world in time, my body would have likely ended up like this.

"And... Big Brother! There's a woman there!"

I heard little Ilan scream, so I quickly jumped away, but I couldn't perceive anything.

Perhaps little Ilan is from the ghost race, so she can perceive things that I can't see?

Or perhaps, there really are things in this world that I can't see.

Even if it's just a strange figure, I have to be cautious.

"Huh, she's... gone. Wow, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Hearing little Ilan's screams, I knew without thinking what had happened. It was probably something terrifying that suddenly appeared at such a close distance, causing her to be frightened.

Although I couldn't see it, if something dares to come after my comrade, then it will have to answer to me.

I glanced at the skeleton and noticed a necklace hanging on its spine. In other words, it belonged to the deceased.I ripped off the necklace. "Come on! If you want this, come and get it!" "Brother, be careful!! That person is coming towards you!!!" So annoying. Even though those people are already dead, they still manage to cause trouble. Today, I want to see how something that I can't see or sense could harm me. No matter how much hatred I have, it should not be taken out on innocent people. In life, and even in death. I casually threw the necklace aside, only to have someone step on it immediately. Karona, still wearing her nightgown, had eyes that were not lifeless but rather vacant. She looked at me, but she was looking at someone else. "Brother, that woman with long hair has possessed Karona!" Along with little Ilan's scream, Karona clearly uttered a few words: "Wolf, kill... I will... die..." The silver sword was unsheathed.
