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

-----

Today classes ended, we wanted to spend at least almost a week of training and preparing before the great raid we were going to do, so the day was already coming to an end and the night was falling.

My Shadow Ghosts, which take the shapes of snakes and flies to infiltrate the city, reported me that the Paladins have been going down somewhere lately, perhaps to the Dungeon below.

I wonder if the Warlocks are trying to replenish forces by using the Paladins…

Aside from that, they have started finding some people hiding the water we gifted them and attempted to apprehend them or ask for money or get thrown to jail.

Because of these problems I ended causing, I took responsibility, and the ghosts placed some gold coins in their pockets, which they were able to use to miraculously pay the tax.

I have a lot of money so I don't really care, and the Dwarf Kingdom will keep sending me money and resources because I own two dungeons over there, which constantly produce resources for them.

I'm probably richer than the three rulers of Goldsand combined…

Anyways, to prevent this to happen again, the Shadow Ghosts planted special Magic Arrays of Stealth and Camouflage on the water jugs.

This way the Paladins can't find them, and the people will know where they are and drink water from there stealthily!

This is just a temporary countermeasure, next week, if possible, they'll be completely freed from these bastards' tyranny.

And after all that, I left some of my Ego Clones cooking something in the kitchen, included with our large set of rooms, while I went to take a bath with my family.

This included my daughter… I mean daughters, my three cute little pies, and… Yeah that's all. I guess Arachne is now included. Takeshi and Laura wanted to take their own bath instead, so I left them.

However, Arachne and Nyx are still very clingy, especially Arachne who suddenly feels more energetic and doesn't want to sleep too much anymore, wanting to hang around with us and receive the love of a family.

And I'm more than happier to give it to her, not only because we'll rely on her as a powerful Calamity, but also because she's a lovely girl, and I pity the loneliness she felt back in her Dungeon.

"Papa, papa! Wash my hair!" Nyx ran towards Lucifer, asking him to wash her hair.

"Sure, sure." Lucifer smiled, quickly bringing the shampoo. "You have such a beautiful hair, just like your mom! Silver colored, it looks like beautiful metal threads."

He was a good father, gently washing his little princess' hair and praising her! Nyx was really lucky to have him.

"Hehehe, mama's hair is very beautiful!" Nyx giggled. "Papa, I'll wash your hair later! You also have long hair!"

"A-Ah, sure, though this hair is just a temporary form." Said Lucifer, he never felt that accustomed to his humanized form, usually feeling better on his dragon appearance.

"It still papa's hair!" Nyx said. "You have to take care of both of your bodies!"

"Well it's easy for you to say that when your dragon form also has this hair, haha." Lucifer giggled, gently washing her hair.

While that was happening, I noticed Emeraldine and Partner helping wash each other's backs at my side, they were busy chatting about today's activities.

"Isn't it nice to spend some time just teaching children? It was a relaxing day, for once…" Emeraldine felt blissful.

"I GUESS… I spent the whole day watching over the window though!" Partner had been designated as a guard, so that's the only thing she did for now.

"Hahah, you did well though." I commented. "Thanks for helping us out in that. Well, you could teach the kids something… Blood Magic? I wonder if any has affinity for that? Or Spear Mastery too?"

"I'm happy that you're trying to cheer me up, Master, but yeah, I doubt I can be of much help." Partner sighed. "Rattle…"

"Oh, you did the sound! When you were a little skeleton." I was surprised.

"That sound was like your bones twisting…" Emeraldine was left speechless.

"I-I sometimes do it as a reflex, I was a skeleton almost two years ago after all." Said Partner.

"It has been almost two years already?" I wondered. "Time sure has gone fast… So many adventures too."

"We've been together in a lot of things." Lucifer commented.

"And we'll continue doing so!" Emeraldine nodded.

"Anyways, Arachne, what are you doing? Is this your first time inside a bathroom?" I asked her.

"Huh?"

Arachne was afraid of the warm water for some reason, all the way at the end of the room cornered as if she were a little thing that was about to be attacked.

"Come on, come here, I'll wash you. You're a bit stinky, girl." I said. "Come, don't be afraid of some water. You're a mighty Calamity, right?"

"I-I don't like being one…" She sighed. "I was just born to be one…"

"A-Ah, well, sorry…" I apologized. "But it's okay, you're strong, right? Come on."

"Hmm…" She gently walked to my side and then took off her white dress, as I used a sponge to wash her with warm water and a nice smelling soap. "There, there, sit down dear, calm down. It's alright."

"Uuh… It doesn't feel so bad…" She wondered, as she sat down in front of me and allowed me to wash her.

I washed her long black hair and made sure to wash her armpits too, and she did the rest down there, with the soap and the sponge. After that, I used some warm water to splash all over her, letting her get all washed up.

"And done! That was all!" I said with a smile.

"O-Oh… So this is taking a bath!" Arachne said, intrigued.

"I-I'm really shocked she never took one before." Lucifer said.

"Well, she was living inside a dungeon, cut her some slack…" Partner said.

"It's nice she's no longer stinky I suppose." Emeraldine giggled.

"I am not stinky!" Said Arachne, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After walking out of the bathroom and saw the food almost ready, I decided to take a look at some of my newest Skills, the ones I've acquired from the Classes, mostly.
