Chapter 406: Arrival In The Vampire Territory, Meeting Harumi Once More

-----

Apparently Harumi lived inside of his large and intimidating manor. Frank couldn't imagine her around this lugubrious place, but it seemed that it was the case.

"Apparently this manor is way bigger than it seems, as the entire house is like a living being, its internal space is way more than it looks like outside," said Matsuo.

"Interesting, it is like my own house," said Frank.

"Oh yeah, like Yurei," said Gwendolyn.

"Come again?" asked Matsuo.

"We already told you, right? I became quite a good user of Necromancy, so I infused souls into our house, and it has evolved through the system into a gigantic living manor that can self-divide. The house I set up in my former house area is a part of this being. It has the power of expanding its internal space way more than it seems outside," said Frank.

"T-That's crazier than I imagined. So this house is the same as the formula you explained?" asked Matsuo.

"Is that so…? I guess you are already someone at the level of the Vampires. Sigh… Will you ever stop to surprise me?" wondered Matsuo.

Suddenly, a skeleton wearing a butler outfit appeared, rushing down below as he greeted everyone.

"Welcome to the residence, Matsuo and his friends, please, through here…" he said.

"Thank you."

Matsuo followed the skeleton as he escorted the group through the large corridors of the manor, until they finally reached a certain red door…

"Lady Harumi, they're here…" said the skeleton.

"O-Okay, wait a bit…"

The voice of Harumi resonated across the door as she rushed to the door, opening it slowly. Her crimson eyes peered through the door.

"Matsuo I didn't called you here, what do you want- Eh?"

However, the first thing Harumi saw wasn't Matsuo's annoying face but Frank!

"Long time no see Harumi-chan," said Frank, smiling cutely.

It was Frank!

Well, yes, he might had changed a bit, he might had gotten taller, more muscular, and even more handsome than before, but it was him! Frank..

The one she had been wondering where he suddenly went for a while.

And the one she learned her parents died horribly by a criminal known as Wasp…

And the one that she had grown weirdly attached to even in the little time they meet…

"F-Frank… You're back?" asked Harumi. Frank expected something more emotional, and although Harumi was very surprised and her mind was very emotional, her face was rather stiff, although he noticed that her eyes opened very wide.

"Yeah, the very one! Who else? How have you been?" asked Frank with a gentle smile, as Harumi suddenly realized that alongside Matsuo, there were three other people with Frank…

"I-I have been fine…I am more interested in how you have been… Erm, my room is a bit messy… But you can get in… Ah, hello," said Harumi.

Harumi shyly greeted the three beautiful girls at the side of Frank, who all three exuded an immense divine aura equal to a demigoddess, even more, as Frank's own aura was also immense! Since when he has been this god damn strong! His entire presence was easily overwhelming her senses… However, she quickly woke from the daze as the figures' auras seemed to slowly become more familiar to her, and their pressure dissipated.

"Hello dear, I am Gwendolyn! Frank has spoken quite a bit about you…" said Gwendolyn, as Harumi noticed that she was a Kitsune, and her fiery presence made her seem rather strong.

"Eh? H-He has?" asked Harumi while blushing.

"Yeah! Even I know about you a bit… My name is Axitl, a Goddess of Chaos! Let's try to be friends," said Axitl.

"G-Goddess?!" asked Harumi.

"Hmm… Your room is messy, but you seem to be a woman of culture, I like these Kimetsu No Yaiba posters. Oh? You like Full Metal Alchemist too?!" asked Orb.

As everyone entered the room, they saw the big room Harumi had, which was messy with clothes everywhere, the walls and ceilings were filled with posters of several anime, games, manga, light novels, and visual novels, and she also had a lot of anime figures assorted in several stalls, large bookshelves filled with manga and light novels, and plushies of anime characters.

Frank was surprised by this, he never thought Harumi was such a weeb!

"T-This is… Erm… well…" muttered Harumi, feeling embarrassed that Frank and the girls had to see such a weeb room, although Orb seemed to like it.

"Uwah, very colorful! I wish I had a room like this. Mine is still quite empty of stuff," said Axitl.

"There's a lot of interesting things in here… Although I have yet to learn more about this Japanese entertainment culture. But you seem quite knowledgeable. I can tell why Frank likes you," said Gwendolyn.

"W-What are you talking about? I didn't knew she was like this… You were always silent and so on, but you were into this all along?! Well, I remember seeing you see art in Twitter but… This is quite a bit surprising! But honestly, this is pretty amazing. Don't worry, I am also a fellow weeb," said Frank.

"Eeeh?! Really?" asked Harumi.

"Yeah, I wish my room was half of this- Ah, well, it got all destroyed! Haha!" laughed Frank, as Harumi was left speechless.

At the end, Harumi called the butler skeleton to bring some snacks, tea, and other things, and cleaned a bit of her room with the help of everyone until they got some space to sit down and talk.

They spoke mostly about what Frank went through, and then addressed the thing about her becoming a Vtuber, ending with the incident where Frank became the new Lord of the Monk Clan and pretty much came here to check on Harumi because he wanted to… well, be friends.

"S-So many things… Frank, you're… truly someone insane… How are you even okay after all of that? And you even experienced a full on Isekai. I can't believe it… I am actually a bit jealous, you even defeated the Demon King and got yourself a harem!" said Harumi, revealing her true colors.

"T-This… I… Haha… It is what it is?" asked Frank.
