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

-----

I finally got to see her, Amelia, this character's "sister".

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Amelia was a young woman with crimson eyes, long silvery-white hair made into braids, wearing glasses, and sitting over a wheelchair, she seemed to be able to move it easily around the house and I think her room might be on the first floor. She definitely can't go to the second floor I guess.

So this is my "sister", isn't she pretty though? And she looks a lot like me for some reason. Is this the world itself readjusting her appearance to mine, or was she always like this?

"Amelia…" I said. "Ah, sorry, you scared me there! I heard something in the kitchen moving and I thought it was you but when I went to see, you weren't there…"

I sighed in relief after seeing her. However, as I talked to her, suddenly, she smiled suspiciously, readjusting her glasses and making her already red eyes glow brighter.

"Oh… Heh, I guess you caught me."

"Huh?"

I felt slightly paralyzed. I caught her? What does she mean with that? Is this… Don't tell me she is a…

"I was sneaking around to spook you! Heheh! What's wrong? You're so series all the time, Maria. I wanted to see you spooked for once! So where's Arthur at?"

"Haahhh…"

I sighed in relief again, I thought she was a damn Nightmare posing as my sister or something!

Dammit, this world already got me with slight PTSD with all the damn nightmares everywhere.

"What's gotten into you, sis? I know I was a bit rough around the eyes but you're sure more expressive today!" Amelia said.

I see, so the character I am taking over was not that expressive of a girl?

I guess that's why she is a bit intimidating to the other students then…

"I've gone through a few things… A lot of stress," I sighed. "But I'm fine. Arthur was looking for you so let's call him here."

"Okay! I heard you brought friends? How many? Should I make tea for them? How about cookies as well? I've baked some!"

"Sister, you're baking cookies? You have to be careful!" I said.

"Ah, don't worry about me! I can at least do the things in the house while you and Arthur are studying, right?" she smiled. "It's the least I could do for everyone… the only thing I can do I guess."

"But you'll get tired…" I said.

I was genuinely worried actually, shouldn't she be resting instead of moving around and doing a lot of house stuff?

"I'm fine, don't worry, the potions I drink are nice and if I don't do something I feel weird and sad so its better to distract the mind, no?" she said. "Can I see your friends?"

"Ah, okay then…" I nodded.

I walked back to the entrance where Arthur had appeared, and then Amelia saw the group of "friends" which were actually just my family.

"Ooh?! S-So many! You sure brought a whole battalion of people here Maria…" she muttered. "There's even little kids?"

"Ah yes they are the little siblings of my friends, so I brought them along…" I said. "T-They're very well behaved so please don't mind them-"

"Aren't you two adorable? Hello!" Amelia smiled gently.

"Oooh! You look like mam… Maria…!" said Nyx, struggling to say my name.

"Hi!" Celes said.

"Hello! You must be Maria's sister… nice to meet you!" Nia said.

"Yeah, thanks for having us," said Lucifer.

"Oh, aren't you too stiff? Relax guys!" giggled Amelia. "Come in, come in! I know you came with my sister but come let's have some tea together! It has been so long since I've had guests."

As she said that, Arhtur stepped in.

"Ah… Amelia- I mean, big sister," said Arthur while blushing a bit.

"Ah, there you are!" Amelia said. "Come in, let's eat cookies and drink some tea Arthur, dear." Explore new worlds at empire

"Ah, yes, okay…"

Like that, we ended eating cookies and drinking black tea and it was pretty relaxing and nice after having some big lunch.

Especially these cookies, were too good! They definitely had butter and the big chocolate chips which were half melted were simply superb!

They were not too hard either but on the soft side, so it was very addictive to eat, dammit.

"Oh this is really good big sis!" I said. "So good! How did you make such delicious cookies?"

"Hehehe! It's the family recipe dear," said Amelia with a cute smile. "Don't you remember when mother used to make these? I remember she also made some with strawberry jam on top but those didn't have chocolate chips. I have yet to make those- Oh right I made matcha flavored ones, wait up, I'll bring them as well, seeing how you've devoured them all!"

"What's matcha?" Nyx wondered.

"It's green tea," I explained. "It can be extracted as a flavor and given to other things like pudding or cookies! Pretty amazing right?"

"Oooohhh!" Nyx got hyped. "Green tea flavored cookies! Let's go!"

"Hmm, I want more cookies too…" Celes nodded, licking the crumbs on his lips.

"Haven't you eaten plenty already young man?" sighed Nia.

"B-But…" Celes tried making excuses, but he couldn't.

And then Amelia came back.

"Here I am, more cookies for everyone!"

She placed them on the table, they were green colored and had a nice and beautiful shape.

We immediately went to eat them without even hesitating.

And yes, it was a very unique flavor!

"Oh wow it really tastes like green tea, like the whole flavor is there but it isn't bitter?" I wondered. "Hmm, so refreshing!"

"Indeed!" nodded Nia. "So good, Amelia. You're very good at making cookies!"

"Hm, I can't stop eating them," said Arthur. "Too good…"

"Heheh! I'm glad that my talents are recognized once in a while, feels nice feels nice!" nodded Amelia while crossing her arms proudly. "Anyways, how has the academy been going, Arthur, Maria? Anything has happened so far? Nothing bad I hope?"

"Ah well…" I muttered. "Well there were some incidents, yeah."

"What incidents?" she asked, worried.

"Err…"

Should we really tell them these things? Wouldn't it be bad to make her worry.

Ah well, I already said something so I might as well not leave her hanging, dammit.
