Chapter 427 – Episode 48. Trial Period and Revenge and Vampire Hunter.
“What’s the matter? No, that’s not what I’m talking about here. Come in first.”
I opened the door, but Yuka Otagi didn’t seem to be in good condition, so I helped Yuka Otagi into her house.
Not only did Yuka Otagi have tears in her eyes, but her body was also shaking. She was curious and worried that Yuka Otagi, a strong-willed girl who could single-handedly dismantle a large gang in her hometown of New York, would be so agitated.
I made Yuka Otagi sit on the sofa in her living room and brought her some warm tea.
“What’s the matter… ? “Can you tell me?”
I asked Yuka Otagi in a cautious manner. Yuka Otagi was lowering her face between her knees and then raised her head and looked at me. Her face was filled with tears, but she soon bit her lip and opened her mouth with an expression of determination.
“When I got home, everyone in the mansion was dead, even the innocent nanny… !”
“Huh?”
In the end, Yuka Otagi sobbed as tears welled up in her eyes flowed down as she spoke. What does this mean? Are you saying that all the Otagi family members in Miya City are dead? If you think about it, the Otagi family was a vampire family, so they couldn’t increase their numbers carelessly, so they didn’t have that many people. Therefore, Yuka Otagi is probably the only member of the Otagi family that exists in Miya City. So that would mean that all the employees at the Otagi family mansion are dead.
“Who murdered all the people working at the mansion?”
When I asked a question based on my own reasoning, Yuka Otagi nodded her head. I see… Yuka Otagi handed me a high-quality envelope. I received an envelope from Yuka Otagi and opened it to check the contents of her letter.
To Yuka Otagi.
Did you enjoy your last supper?
If you don’t want to cause trouble to those around you, come to Onuta Shrine at noon next Monday and compete.
Silver Pile Federation.
Ah… ! I forgot this. Furthermore, I had no idea that there was an SPF, abbreviated for the Silver Stake League, an association of vampire hunters. If you have Yuka Otagi, a vampire, then of course you have to think about the Silver Stake League, which are vampire hunters.
Although it is barely mentioned in Megacorp’s youngest son, many vampire hunters can be seen in TMC, which is the previous work of Megacorp’s youngest son and is a later generation in terms of time.
To briefly explain the background, SPF and various vampire families or organizations around the world had entered into agreements. It was an agreement that the SPF would not attack, but that the vampire forces would not easily increase their household or blood relatives and would not harm the public as much as possible.
The SPF was exterminating forces that did not enter into such agreements or small vampire groups that did not need to enter into agreements.
Then, in the future, in the era of TMC, all power and economic power is absorbed into the huge Megacorp, and except for a few very few vampire forces, the remaining vampire forces decline, reaching a situation where the agreement cannot be kept.
Normally, vampire forces run large hospitals and blood-related companies to supply blood, but as everything is focused on Megacorp, hospitals and companies go bankrupt, so in order to supply blood, they have to attack people and suck their blood directly, like in the ancient or medieval past. I did it.
Naturally, the agreement was not kept, and the vampires attacked people, leading to a war between the SPF and the newly emerged alliance of fallen vampires, GES (Great Eastern aristocracy Senate), further inciting the chaos of the era of giant megacorps. .
In TMC, if you select the vampire trait as a level-up trait, it naturally has an antagonistic relationship with SPF, and a new event was opened. On the contrary, in a normal state without vampire characteristics, it was able to cooperate with SPF. If I went a little more SPF-friendly, I could work as a vampire hunter belonging to SPF.
Of course, in this era, the agreement was being followed and there was no need for the SPF to go to war with the Otagi family, so they didn’t care. Since I’m not a vampire, I wasn’t considering it at all, so I was a little embarrassed when the name Silver Stag Alliance suddenly came up.
Then, the important thing was to check whether only Yuka Otagi was fighting SPF or the entire Otagi family was fighting SPF.
“Are the Otagi family fighting together as well?”
“No, I’m alone…”
Um, I see. Then, the story was that Yuka Otagi had done something, the SPF had designated Yuka Otagi as her target to be killed, and the Otagi family had abandoned Yuka Otagi without helping her. Helping Yuka Otagi means fighting the SPF force by force, so it must be burdensome for the Otagi family.
“Why is SPF doing this?”
“I think it’s probably because of the New York thing.”
If it’s New York… Is it because of your fight with Kurotsugido? Isn’t SPF such an unreasonable group? On the contrary, if you were fighting these gangs, you would have applauded them for doing a good job because they were just bad guys killing each other. It seemed that the New York branch was dominated by hardliners. I want to kill at least one more vampire, but Yuka Otagi is the unlucky one.
In the end, the only clue left was this letter, which was just a few lines long, so I slowly read the letter again. As I read it slowly, I was able to find out some hidden contents in the letter.
“Normally, we would have attacked right away without giving them the weekend. Maybe this side can kill an ordinary person, but I think it’s because they need time to prepare to fight a vampire like Yuka. In that case, it is not something that is being led by the Japanese SPF branch, which can prepare and carry out work at any time. It must have come from the New York branch where Otagi worked.”
This was a mistake on their part. We shouldn’t have given our side time, and even if we weren’t prepared enough, our odds of winning would have been higher if we attacked when we weren’t prepared. They probably didn’t know that Yuka Otagi would ask for my help, but that was a big mistake.
“And the part if you don’t want to cause harm to those around you. SPF also knows that if they fight Otagi and cause damage to St. Francis Girls’ Academy, they will not be able to handle it. Then, it may be something that the New York branch took the lead in and that headquarters is not aware of. “If the headquarters says that this vampire must be killed, most people don’t think about the damage to those around them.”
Their personality is revealed when they kill all the humans at Otagi Mansion. Vampire hunters were also divided into various factions because of this tendency.
They are divided into moderates who say they should not cause harm to the public, moderates who say collateral damage is unavoidable, and radicals who say that those who cooperate with vampires are no different from vampires and should all be killed. This group is probably the last of the radicals. For reference, in TMC, centrists were the largest group, followed by radicals, and moderates were the minority.
But what if the extremist does not want to cause harm to those around him? This means that the forces dispatched now are only a small number. The current force cannot handle the attack on St. Francis Girls’ Academy. No matter how radical they were, they did not fight without paying attention to what was going on, but rather checked the surrounding situation.
“Finally, the fact that the match will be held at Onuta Shrine at noon (12 p.M.) On Monday has a hidden meaning that not only the New York branch but also one of the Japanese SPF branches is helping. There’s no way the New York branch knows about the deserted places around here, so someone must be helping them. Of course, the reason for setting the time at noon is that it is during the day when it is difficult for vampires to exert their strength… I guess the reason Monday was chosen was because I needed time to prepare. In addition, if the battle took place on the weekend and the other students at St. Francis Girls’ Academy got involved, it would be difficult to handle the aftermath, so I think we decided to do it at a time when all the other students would be at school.”
“Sir, it’s so… Are you smart?”
Yuka Otagi speaks in surprise at my story. In fact, it’s not that she’s smart, she’s just that she often plays a vampire hunter on TMC, so she just knows the behavior of SPF. Onuta Shrine was destroyed during World War III and is still in ruins, unable to be restored. There is no way people in New York would know about this.
There were a total of two Japanese SPF branches. There was a Tokyo branch that governed eastern Japan and a Kyoto branch that governed western Japan. Perhaps the branch that is helping the New York branch with its work is the Tokyo branch. Miya City, where St. Francis Girls’ Academy is located, is in Yamanashi Prefecture, and Yamanashi Prefecture belongs to eastern Japan.
“It must be the Tokyo branch… ?”
“Yeah, maybe?”
Yuka Otagi also guessed that she had the same thoughts as me and that she was from the Tokyo branch. Then he looked at my face with a slightly fearful expression. Why are you doing that?
“Huh? “What’s wrong?”
“Sir, didn’t you know? The head of SPF’s Tokyo branch is Jiro Taira.”
Oh, I didn’t know that. It was quite valuable information. From Otagi Yuka’s perspective, I wouldn’t have been able to trust Taira Jiro since he was from the Taira family. However, since I am on a different line from Jiro Taira, this was actually an opportunity to defeat one of Jiro Taira’s forces.
“I didn’t know. And…”
“And?”
“Do you think I would abandon my friend over something like this? Besides, I’m also Otagi’s teacher, so I have to help him with any difficult matters.”
It was Yuka Otagi, whose expression showed complex emotions such as relief, emotion, and sadness at my answer. I smiled slightly and patted Otagi Yuka’s head.
“It’s a little cold, but I’ll have some tea.”
“Huh. Thank you, teacher…”
After Yuka Otagi drank all of her tea, she seemed to come to her senses a little. She finishes her tea and apologizes to me.
“I’m sorry, I got caught up in it for no reason… “The only thing that came to mind was Mr.”
“Don’t think like that. As I said before, you are my friend and student, so of course I have to help you. And since she decided to join my company after graduating from school, I will help you even if you say no.”
From what I heard earlier, Otagi wouldn’t be able to help at all in this battle, and there was almost no one who could help Otagi Yuka. If it’s not me, it’s probably Akina Konoe, Diana Saionji, or Alric. Oh, I’m also friends with Eve, so I can help her.
“Yes, thank you. “I will definitely pay you back for this.”
“Okay, first, let’s think carefully about what to prepare for the weekend.”
It was important to process and receive the SPF aimed at Yuka Otagi and now make a plan to help in Monday’s battle.
