Chapter 174 – Nosferatu (1)
The day was good.
“… Lie. You’re making a lot of impressions, aren’t you?”
“It is not a lie. It’s just not my standard.”
Moderate clouds and clear sunlight. It’s literally a ‘good day to go out’ itself. However, as Eileen scolded from the side, the weather was not particularly good for me as a vampire.
“You still help me a lot. You won’t be sad if you show dislike.”
“… ? Ah yes.”
Eileen, who had tilted her head slightly, shook her head as if she had finally realized. As the saying goes, the sun itself isn’t very good…
‘Because the goddess is on my side.’
Honestly, the reason he takes care of me is because he seems to have committed many sins against me. Apart from that, it is also true that she cares about me and tries to take care of me as much as Iris does.
“In that sense, it’s good weather.”
“The goddess will be pleased too.”
“Ugh. Is that so. I’ve never heard of the goddess’ jade sound, so I’m not sure…”
Daisy, who quietly chats with her from behind, and Eileen, who seems to understand what she’s saying but doesn’t quite relate to it.
And to me Like this, the three of them are the whole group.
Demon Descent Incident.
It hasn’t been known throughout the empire yet, but that’s coming soon. Even if the cooperation of the imperial family and the three generations, which spread their power not only throughout the empire, could not prevent the news from spreading.
The incident that took place in the middle of the academy was shocking.
Especially since the existence of the ‘devil’ has been hidden so far.
Creatures from another world who cannot penetrate the skin and inflict damage unless they are at the level of ‘Master’ or possess the power of a special nature.
As their existence became known to the academy cadets and the nobles present that day, the empire would suffer considerable pain.
‘Did the Huang family know about a creature called a devil?’
‘Then why has it been hidden until now?’
‘… What about other family names? What about Zepeschna, Friedrich and Kroychev? What about the other duchy?’
Complaints of the same content spread.
‘But the fact that we didn’t know anything up until now doesn’t mean that the imperial family and the three generations were properly preventing accidents in advance?’
‘It’s such a monster. Even if you bump into it with half-force, it will only break… I’d rather bow my head to the imperial family and the three generations here.’
Even in the midst of this, he quickly reads the flow and tries to deepen his relationship with us—Iris from the Imperial Family, Anna from Kreutzeff, and Eileen from Friedrich are all my women, so the expression “We” Is quite timely.
Other than that.
‘We didn’t even know! Shit. No matter how many families say three generations, they still say nothing to us, who are united as the seven pillars of the empire!’
Same.
There must be some people who have realized that they are completely alienated from the power structure.
Although I feel that there is nothing to promote other than the ‘bloodline of the imperial family’.
Anyway, I am the head of the Chepes, a part of the ‘Imperial Family and the Three Great Families’.
At the same time as the body that solved the accident, it is the body that must take responsibility for the accident along with the president of the academy and the emperor, who can be said to be the true owner of the academy.
Sensing the responsibility, he dropped out of the academy and had just graduated from his bachelor’s degree.
“… Usually, taking responsibility and resigning is not an undergraduate student, unless it is a position like a professor, right? Just as he was about to quit, an accident broke out and he said it fit properly.”
“That’s a trivial matter.”
Eileen scolding me from the side is correct, but in the first place, there is almost no gaze that sees me purely as an ‘academy cadet’.
Friendship exchanges established as a “Link between humans and the outside world.” One of the powerful people of the continent beyond the empire, who personally stepped into the academy to keep that long-standing promise.
Due to the laws of the empire established by the emperor himself, he studied as an undergraduate and gave grades, but even professors regarded the act of grading itself as a burden.
“So my resignation has a lot of meaning. Especially in a state where the existence of demons is known and unrest has been created on the continent.”
“… Ah. A legendary continental travel story?”
“What else is that?”
My eyebrows furrowed at the unfamiliar yet familiar word. The story of an enemy who was looking for the hidden peace of the continent with his ‘sister’. In the process, she solved incidents and accidents all over the continent… It is truly an adventure story that can only come out of a story.
I don’t really have any memories of that time.
Anyway, the story is also a collection of the most representative feats that can come to mind when hearing the name ‘Scarlett Chepesch’, so there are few people on the continent who do not know about it.
If that kind of me leaves the academy and disappears.
There will be a perception that ‘Ah, the Duke of Chepes is circling the continent like in the past.’
Not only the common people, who would be vaguely anxious, but also among the aristocratic class, who would know the inside story to some extent, would become calm once the news spread.
“I’ll come up from the top and spread the word.”
What could be more appropriate propaganda to calm the confusion?
‘It feels like I’m in the dark.’
By enlisting the imperial family and influential families, creating an inseparable collusion and creating favorable public opinion within the empire.
Considering that there is a demon king, it is a character that would suit the dark side that hinders the main character until the middle of the story.
‘Even the main character is on my side.’
In other words, complete inner cohesion.
A few disgruntled factions may remain, but it doesn’t mean much.
Just in case, I left the political coordination to my sister, so there are no variables left…
“Is the lady okay?”
“What is there to worry about, sister? Sitri must be in a situation where she can’t use her power right now.”
“No. I’m saying this because I’m going to be away from my master for quite some time…”
Daisy’s worried voice. If I had anything to worry about, it wasn’t my sister’s safety, but I had to worry that my sister, who would be stressed out from me, would be hysterical around me.
It won’t be a big accident just because you fall with me. Lately, it seems that my sister’s strange obsession has gotten worse.
I don’t know where I posted it, but the fact that the “Torture Engineer” Trait has risen to A rank without me noticing it made me feel cold.
“… I’ll make time later and meet through the shadows or something.”
“A shadow?”
Eileen perked up her ears. Daisy closed her eyes. Eileen, so to speak,
“I-I’m curious. How can I meet you as a shadow? Are your shadows connected to each other? If so, is that connection always maintained, or is it only temporary when the two of you deem it necessary? If it’s the latter——”
“Stop. Just one.”
Okay.
It was chewy.
If Sitri is a type of jerk who likes the unique appearance and atmosphere of a high-ranking bloodgwi, commonly described as a ‘pasoonie’ or a ‘sasaeng fan’.
“Yes, yes. I’m excited… Phew, but I think I can actually see with my own two eyes what I’ve always only imagined… There aren’t any vampires with a name in the Mage Tower, but even so, the wizard with a strong recluse tendencies is a vampire, so he’s a little antisocial… Heck, this, I didn’t say this with any particularly racist intentions!”
Eileen is an ‘alien’… Among them, it was the kind of jerk who was obsessed with science about vampires in particular.
Usually, I only talk inside, and when I speak, I go through a few filters in my head, and when a topic I like comes up, the filter disappears and confuses the listener…
As Eileen chattered nonstop, her eyes twinkling, Daisy, who had closed her eyes familiarly, muttered softly:
“… If you have a private conversation with the lady through the shadows, other people will feel sorry for you.”
“I should ask my sister to connect with the other children as well.”
“Omg. Is it possible without being the same vampire?”
To be precise, the person who will accept the connection from the other side, in this case, my sister, maintains the connection with me and connects to the shadows of other women in a double connection.
“… Are you really the lady?”
Daisy’s expression asked if Leticia would willingly share the time she could monopolize over me with other women.
I can’t guarantee that part either.
“Aang! Don’t talk about things that only the two of you know! Me too, hug me too~!”
… First of all, what should I do with Aileen, who clings on while running around?
*
The night was deep.
I kneaded Eileen, who was about to dissect my body, and calmed her down with her biting and sucking.
“Heh, uh, uh, there… Yeah, uh… !”
Watching from her side, she sends a bunch of Daisy intruding with a grumpy face.
“I, leave me out all the time, Master, please sleep with me… ! Ahhh! Come… !”
While the two women, who left a lot of evidence of the male’s affection, left a lot of traces on top and bottom, and passed out, they made a base camp to spend the night.
‘Should I get some sleep too.’
Actually, I was thinking of going to see Leticia. No matter how hard it is, leaving behind two women who passed out while struggling under me is still very much pricked by my conscience.
Let’s go back after the two of us recover a bit. And closed my eyes for a moment.
… Bassrock.
“…”
A familiar sign that feels like it’s been a while since I closed my eyes.
“… Lol.”
Unlike Aileen, who was still asleep, Daisy, who had recovered quickly, was burrowing under the blanket and looking up at me.
… Her fingers gently caressing her thighs.
