The Villainess and I, her Zombie

The travel from one town to another was going as smoothly as possible for the Wraths' group.

One could even say, too smoothly.

After few hours of failed attempts of getting others to talk, Mika had given up and was staring out the window trying to not look like a bored kid and instead keep up a straight face like the grownups surrounding her.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

*knock* *knock*

Three loud knocks followed by two soft ones resounded inside the carriage, making Mika flinch and Corvus straighten his back and furrow his brows.

On the other hand, Ti and Cal remained completely calm.

"Don't mind it. It's just one of our signals."

The copper-eyed Ti, waved her hand dismissively to calm them down.

"What does it mean?"

Even so, Mika fidgeted nervously and asked.

"It means that there are bandits on the road..."

"BANDITS?!"

Ti was explaining but Mika loudly interrupted her.

"...but they are robbing someone else, so there's no reason to worry."

Ti finished while squinting her eyes, dissatisfied with the little lady of the Wrath's house reaction.

"Miss, just one look is enough for me to figure out what you will say next, and the answer to that is no. We don't have time to waste on some trivialities so let's just ignore them."

The woman shook her head with a serious expression.

Her words not only reached Mika, but made her completely and utterly flabergasted.

"What do you mean trivialities? We are going to help the people who are getting robbed, right?!"

Mika shouted, getting red in the face, glaring at the calm Ti.

"Miss Mika, don't make it difficult for the rest of us."

The copper-eyed woman shook her head and sighed.

"Other people are not our business and can do whatever they want."

She shrugged her shoulders.

"Whatever they wan...?!"

Mika got taken aback.

"Ti! How could you say that?! Those poor people didn't choose to get robbed, now did they?!"

She puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms.

"..."

Ti just shrugged her shoulders again and looked to the side, signaling the intention of ignoring the young girl's words as long as she will continue to pursue the subject.

The ashen-haired girl gritted her teeth and looked at the other two in people in the carriage, but both the scary-faced Cal and her beloved Corvus seemed to have shared Ti's opinion on the matter as they have also dodged making eye contact and looked away.

"...!"

Mika trembled and ended up also facing away from her companions.

She turned to the carriage's window at the perfect moment to catch a glimpse of the scene of the crime.

A group of armed people was surrounding an open wagon while the man standing on the wagon was trying to protect a woman holding on to two children.

Before Wrath's carriage passed them, the man on the wagon got stabbed in the guts.

Mika's body begun glowing with intense red light and she busted open the carriage door and jumped outside without any hesitation.

/You receive a role exclusive quest

Punish the ruffians and protect the innocent

Reward: +5% ATK increase when fighting against opponents that Justice's Wrath considers evil

A system message with a quest popped up but she hasn't even noticed it.

"MISS MIKA?!"

Ti shouted in panic and jumped out after her.

With multiple skills active, the ashen-haired girl was already by the bandits.

*SLAM*

Before they even noticed her, the young girl shining with blood-red light had already grabbed one of them and - after lifting the bandit up without any visible effort - smashed him into two others.

Then Mika spun around and jumped, kneeing the fourth bandit in the fact and, while landing, effortlessly caught the arm of the fifth one and threw him over her shoulder right into the sixth one.

"Why are you helping those...?!"

When the bandits' leader, who was in the middle of stabbing the man on the wagon, realized what was happening, all of his men were incapacitated and he had a furious ashen-haired girl flying at his face with a fist glowing with red light.

He managed to pull out the sword from the guts of his victim and used the blade to protect his head from the oncoming punch but...

*CRUSH*

After meeting with the delicate-looking fist, the weapon broke and its shards followed Mika's punch adding more damage to the hit.

"GUHUAH...!"

The bandits' leader groaned as he was sent flying back, spitting blood and broken teeth while still mid-air.

"Bastards!"

Mika spat at the twitching bandit and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the wagon.

The wounded man was kneeling down and holding on to the gruesome wound, trying to keep his intestines inside his body and stop the bleeding.

"Oh no...! Is-is it really bad...?!"

Mika's voice trembled as she caught a glimpse of the wound.

It looked like the bandit's blade was dull and jagged and ended up doing severe damage to the man's stomach.

"...I... think so..."

The man groaned and nodded as the woman and two children clung to him with tear-stained faces.

"Th-thank you... young lady... for helping us...ugh...!"

He added bowing and causing the blood to splash against his hands.

"D-don't move! We have a healer! Ti! The other guy, Cri, or whatever, you've said that he has holly magic type skills right?! So he can heal, right?!"

Mika was barely holding back tears, the light of her skills faded and she turned to the stunned copper-eyed woman and asked in desperation.

"Ah, yes, he can."

Ti flinched and nodded.

"Then get him to heal this person!"

Mika cried with urgency.

Her voice was easily heard by the rest of their group that had already get off of the carriage stopped by the roadside not that far away, to begin with.

"On it!"

The blue-eyed Cri called out and ran straight to the wounded man.

His hands started glowing with a strong light and within seconds, the wounded man's complexion was getting better as the wound was healing up at an incredible speed.

"Miss Mika..."

The usually scary-faced Cal was looking at the ashen-haired girl in complete shock.

"How come you can use the avatar of wrath's exclusive skill?!"

He gasped sounding more than just worried.
