Chapter 188: The Money Cat

Odeta was still unconscious so I tucked her into the sleeping bag first.

Climbing out of the tent, I found Emilia tossing the corpse of Sariena into a pit she had dug out which I had set on fire for her. Apparently you have to do that or corpses would turn into undead over time.

That was the case with monsters found outside of dungeons as well and I had a moment of panic since I had not been doing that for my monster kills, wondering just how many monster zombies I inadvertently created over the years. Then she told me removing their Mana Crystals prevents that from happening which made me sigh in relief.

"Lady Aster," Emilia took a step back from the fire and bowed to me. "I cannot express how sincerely apologetic I am for our current situation."

I didn't really know what to say since this was my first time experiencing this as well but I tried anyway, "Umm… I er… It's ok?"
