Chapter 181 – Nosferatu (8)
Wow!
A brilliant pillar of light shot up. Some were small and insignificant, but some pillars of light were so large and magnificent that they were even sacred.
There is no need to pay attention to the side with small pillars. The stronger the connection with Nosferatu, the designation target, the stronger and larger the light, conversely, means that the pillar with weak light is as insignificant as it is.
Still, I couldn’t leave it alone, so I sent the ‘crows’.
In addition, among the ‘crows’, ‘claws’ and ‘beaks’ were sent to the large pillar of light. As they are a combat unit, they will take care of it.
Eileen and I called Daisy, who was heading elsewhere, to join us. Our destination was the one that shone most brightly among the pillars of light.
We moved to check who was probably the biggest fish among the guys hiding here.
“Ah, lady! Together with us!”
Although Daisy’s lieutenants and soldiers panicked and called us.
Their role is over now. If you really want to do something more, it’s better to do some cleanup with the ‘crows’.
“Daisy.”
“Yes, Master.”
Even as the pillars of light began to fade one by one, as I was still running towards the pillar of light that towered high enough to pierce the sky, Daisy answered my call.
“… No. Talk to you later.”
“Yes.”
I paused, looking for something to say, and Daisy nodded his head calmly.
… Also.
Even if he pretended to be fine, in reality he was shaking a lot.
If it was like usual, I wouldn’t have responded like now. Rather, “Yes? Ah, what is it Make people curious… !” If you acted like an antagonist, you did it.
“…”
Even now. She is more sensitive to my gaze and her interest than anyone else, and she doesn’t notice even though I’m staring at her.
Furthermore.

Aside from the excellent stats beyond imagination, the condition is not serious.
I guessed it, but the trauma seemed pretty severe. But I couldn’t just leave her out of her party.
I planned to use this opportunity to completely purify Nosferatu. To reign in the world of night, just Chepesch was enough.
So Daisy should not be left out. It will be a bit harsh, but if she stops here, she will have only terrible memories of Nosferatu for the rest of her life.
I will give her her sword.
The prey will also be brought.
All she has to do is overcome her fear and stab her with a knife.
“Daisy.”
“… Yes, master.”
“Believe.”
“… Yes.”
With Daisy nodding her head heavily, we reached her destination.
Actually, I could have arrived sooner than this, but Eileen, realizing that the air currents between me and Daisy were unusual, took care of slowing her steps—even though she couldn’t exactly run, so she flew—I managed to time it.
‘I’ll be sure.’
Eileen speaks to me with her mouth wide open. Instead of answering, I nodded.
I believe in Daisy.
When I touched the surface of the pillar of light with my hand, the moments of the time that had flowed from about a month ago until now were quickly pierced into my mind.
“Kuk.”
I was taken aback by the sudden injection of information, but it wasn’t a big deal.
It was a magic circle created to minimize such risks in the first place.
Eileen and Daisy enter the room one after another after me. At the same time, a growling voice was heard.
“… Fuck. There was no word that Chepesch was coming here.”
In the pillar of light, bound by the same form of light that formed her pillar, a woman let her long hair hang down and spat her swear words.
“Daria.”
“… Under. Does the noble head of Tepesh know all about my name? I have all these honors…”
“You really didn’t think I didn’t know one of the Twelve.”
“Of course. Don’t you understand the sarcasm? Anyway, what kind of magic is this? It’s a magic that I don’t even dare to unleash.”
That’s annoying.
Just kill it
No let’s wait
Daria Nosferatu.
One of the Twelve Elders of the only family out of the three where the power and influence of the elders is higher than that of the family head.
There are usually two factors that determine a vampire’s strength.
‘Lineage’ and ‘Time’.
Even if you are born with the same lineage, the world you look at changes depending on how much ‘bloodline’ you have, in other words, how well you are born with talent.
And no matter how weak a vampire is, if you accumulate blood and power for a hundred or two hundred years, there will also be cases where you surpass your natural lineage.
“There are too many of you. Thanks to that, a lot of troublesome things have increased. Why are you here, a bitch with elders at a time.”
Since Draculea focused on increasing her family instead of increasing her bloodline, it was difficult to find someone who could satisfy both her lineage and the years she had accumulated over a long period of time, enough to be called an elder within the family.
Even if they came out, they could not overcome the influence of the family head, who already had great power within the family, and in the end, their council of elders became a non-existent existence.
Although Chepeshu was a family where the powers of the elders and the head of the house were somewhat balanced.
Before I lost my memory, I had purged all the elders along with my parents.
So, among the three great families, Nosferatu is the only place where elders are active.
“Whoops… Do you have a headache? Shall I tell you what the other elders are doing? Besides, isn’t it weird that I’m not here? Blackwood, like nowhere else. The forward base of Chepesch.”
“Are you selling your blood relatives right away? … No. It’s no use finding out. I understand why you are here.”
“That’s right. It’s already too late. Most of them are hiding all over the continent, or they are preparing for the summoning of the Demon King at their home.”
The hidden ones must be the ones who opposed joining hands with the demon king. That’s not to say they aren’t good guys. He must have only objected because his pride was hurt to bow down to the demon lord.
“Whoa. I was caught in such a ridiculous way, so it’s okay. I don’t even have the will to run away. I’ve already lived a thousand years… It’s time to finish it soon.”
I clicked my tongue. There was no further information to be gleaned. Nosferatu’s hometown, there is nothing you can’t ask about their territory.
“It doesn’t make any sense in the first place.”
“Yeah. Also Scarlett Chepes. He said he was the head of the unprecedented Chepes, it must be true.”
If you ask me, I don’t even know this year.
“It’s already been nearly a hundred years since I haven’t returned to my parents’ house. I was going to go back and lend a hand to the demon lord’s summoning once this task is finished.”
“A bitch that doesn’t help.”
“Whoops. The things the other elders said after seeing you in the past, honestly, I couldn’t believe it when I just heard it. After seeing it for myself, I believe in it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“They said that there’s a ridiculous monster ticket in Chepesh, so let’s not touch it.”
Flinch… Daisy shook her shoulders. She pretended not to see her for a moment, then she looked down at Daria.
“When are you talking about?”
“Huh? Well. I think it’s been about ten years. I don’t remember exactly. Do you think a vampire who has lived for a thousand years can remember such a detailed passage of time?”
Tsk.
“Done.”
“Oh. Are you done with your business now? Then go ahead and kill me Don’t torture your hopes for nothing.”
Daria calmly sticks out her neck. At this time, she should have Leticia with 「Torture Technician (A)」.
I turned to Daisy, who was shaking her shoulder.
“Daisy.”
“… Yes.”
Daisy’s eyes trembled. Not only the eyes, but also the lips, shoulders, and hands.
“… What? When I said I’ve seen it somewhere, you—”
Kwajik!
Daria’s head flew off. Grasp! Shortly after her burst, her flesh and brains splattered – her head regenerated from the cross-section of her mangled neck, as if she had been ripped apart.
“Kek. Okay okay. I’ll be shut up. It’s rough. Can’t even make fun of a woman who’s about to die?”
“Shut up.”
“Aha. Ok, ok Shall I give you some service by teasing my mouth? Bee-“
Kwadeuk!
Daria’s head, which had bitten her tongue out and teased her indecently, disappeared once more.
Daria, regenerating, crumpled her face with a rat-bitten look on her face.
“Are you going to give me your cock or kill me quickly?”
Decided to just ignore it.
Daisy, who was still trembling with her shoulders shrunken, opened her mouth cautiously.
“Lord, Master, I am sorry…”
“What.”
“I, I should, but I can’t…”
“Who said you should?”
“Yes? That, Chiman, Master has me…”
Daisy’s eyes widened. I felt the warmth in my arms. On the contrary, wouldn’t she be a bit cool? Since she’s a vampire, her body temperature is bound to be low.
“… Ugh This is not the time, Master. Come on, come on, you have to kill him.”
Daisy, who pushed me away, grabbed her sword again. The tip of her quivering sword wobbled incessantly, unable to find her target.
“Daisy.”
“… Yes. Ugh, sorry, sorry.”
“I’m not trying to scold you, come on.”
I wrapped my arms around Daisy’s sword. Her Daisy’s trembling subsided just a little.
“… If you can’t do it, I don’t blame you.”
“… That’s it.”
“You won’t be disappointed either.”
“… Are you really?”
Of course.
With just this, there was no way I would be disappointed in Daisy. Rather, she blamed me for bringing her to her for not being ready for her yet.
Daisy looked up at me, as if my intentions had been conveyed.
“… I hate it for some reason.”
“What?”
Daisy’s trembling eyes became quiet. She still trembled in her voice, but she stammered out to me.
“Something, still scary, trembling… I was nervous, sweaty, … It’s not okay if the owner smells sweat and doesn’t like it.”
“Don’t say anything nonsense. And it’s okay because I like the smell of your sweat.”
“The owner is talking nonsense, no. How important is that…”
“So,” Said Daisy, who rhymed.
“Anyway, I’m really, really, still scared to death… I don’t think I’ll ever…”
“Huh.”
“But then, Master will continue to protect me… ? If I get scared, even if I shiver just a little, the kind master will hide me behind his back.”
At Daisy’s assertive murmur, I kept my mouth shut instead of answering.
Certainly, I couldn’t have said no.
“… So I don’t like it. I’m weaker than your other women, and I may be useless.”
But, do it. The steel sword Daisy was holding dropped to the floor. Clink——a sound resounded in the silence.
“Even though I’m weak and useless, I’m the one and only maid who can do anything for my master…”
Kwak. Throwing away the iron sword she had been wielding carelessly, Daisy grabbed the sword I had given her as a gift.
“It’s not a strong knight like a kind, caring lady.”
“I’m picky, but I’m not even a competent Elementalist like Luna-sama, who always listens to my master’s request.”
“I don’t have much talent for magic, so I can’t use healing or buffs like Christina. I can’t even use various types of magic like Eileen-sama.”
“I’m not a very good swordsman, like the Princess Highness, who was chosen by both the goddess and the master, and the Princess of the North.”
“I’ll just become your own dagger, a sword that moves whenever and wherever the master wants to wield it.”
Her wind, a single wish, was subtly carried on the blade. Blue, close to azure, refined blackness.
When she thought of the color of her image, she thought it would be pink or red.
“Poruna, yes.”
“Huh?”
“The name of this sword.”
For luna.
Did something It is a name that the goddess of the moon will be delighted to hear. Now that I think about it, the moon goddess and my older sister—Luna—have the same name.
Should I be the main character?
“It’s a sword given to me by the master. … Master is my moon.”
I will cry when the moon goddess hears it.
What though
Isn’t it usually called the sun at times like this?
“Master hates the sun.”
“Because I don’t hate it.”
If you say no, and the goddess hears about it, she will be sad. Although I don’t like the sun itself, I don’t have any bad feelings about the goddess.
“Anyway. Yes.”
Daisy stared at me. With Poruna in her hand, she seemed to wish for something.
I laughed lightly.
“Okay. Thank you.”
“…”
“Don’t worry, Daisy. I’m with you.”
“… Huh.”
With one hand, Daisy fiddled with the pins in his hair and nodded.

There is still a fearful heart, but I wonder if my words were helpful, Daisy’s mentality has stabilized a lot.
“As expected, the master is the master.”
And.
Daisy took one step, two steps with her sword blade wrapped around her body.
“… There is still much to be said, Master. As you recall, you must keep the promise you made with me as well.”
I nodded. Daisy’s hairpins sparkled.
“… Is the new wave over now? Won’t you come and kill me?”
“I will, anyway. You are an old woman.”
“Muh, what? Madame?”
“That’s right, ma’am.”
“… I felt sorry for him, so he saved me, but this arrogant thread—!”
Fu-wook!
Daisy’s sword pierced the vampire’s heart. As a member of my family, her sword skills, which had partially transferred my authority, contained the power to kill vampires’ immortality.
“Cheer, ugh. Ah… !”
Desperate.
Just before her death, right before her millennium-long life came to an end, the vampire who opened her mouth as if revealing her longing for life died like that.
“… Lol.”
And Daisy also fell behind her as if she had exhausted all her energy, and she caught it in my arms.
“… Did I do well?”
“Huh. Very.”
“Thank god…”
Daisy closed her eyes. Sober, sore… I stared blankly at her sleeping face for a long time as if the tension had been relieved.

Attribute: 「■■’S Heart (A)」

Newly blossomed traits. Although still unawakened, I realized that this was Daisy’s clue to mastery.
Anyway, I’m going to die of admiration.
