Chapter 79

It had been an hour since we realized that Zir was gone .

We searched thoroughly inside the village, and we concluded that she might have gone outside the village .

“I thought that something would happen, but for it to happen this fast…” (Amy)

“That’s right, I didn’t think that she would act in this short time from yesterday’s events . ” (Hibiki)

Amy and I talked about our next actions while sighing to each other .

“We need to search for Zir’s whereabouts . ” (Hibiki)

“Well, for the time being, I had installed a [transmitter] onto Zir’s clothes made out of a part of Boiler-san’s body . With this, we should be able to search for Zir using the demon detector . ” (Amy)

I asked for it yesterday afternoon, but to think that it was already done by the next day .

“When I had finished the prototype, I went to search for Zir only to find out that you two were enjoying yourselves . So I decided to take this chance and install the transmitter on the clothes Zir had thrown off . ” (Amy)

Amy told the events plainly .

She is very scary with her neutral expression .

I was forced to promise to love her all night long after we return as compensation .

“Are you going anywhere?” (Selva)

Selva said with a sleepy voice .

“We are going to search for Zir!” (Hibiki)

“Zir is perhaps that white haired girl?” (Selva)

“That’s right!” (Hibiki)

“Shall I give you a ride?” (Selva)

“Wha-!?” (Hibiki)

“If it’s her, she seems to be right outside the city, inside a western-style house . If you are in a hurry, should I give you a ride?” (Selva)

“Wh-why do you know that?” (Hibiki) (TN: Same opinion, and about the house style too)

“Well, her mana and smell still remains, so I can know immediately?” (Selva) (TN: And the style of the house too?)

Draconian senses are something to be afraid of .

However, is it really alright to ride on her back?

If I’m not mistaken, no one else can ride on a dragon’s back unless they are its special companion .

For sure, that person doesn’t seem to be a vampire like Zir?

She is appealing in an easy way that I could be her companion . Maybe she’s trying a psychological exposure play?

“It shouldn’t be a problem if you hide your face . …Either way we will have such a relation so it shouldn’t be a problem . ” (Selva)

I couldn’t catch her later words, but there shouldn’t be a problem .

And since I can fuse with Ruby, I can easily hide my face .

“Then, please . ” (Hibiki)

“Please leave it to me～” (Selva)

She answered with exalted breathing .

And since Ruby is already at my feet, I can go without any preparation .

“It’s here . There’s her smell, there’s no mistake . ” (Selva)

Selva is circling above the mansion .

“All right, please let me down . ” (Hibiki)

I implied for her to drop me slowly .

However, Selva’s judgment, as the unconditional ruler, deemed that this height is nothing .

“Ok, work hard～ I’m going back to sleep～” (Selva)

With that, Selva just turned upside down .

“Wha-, wai-wait!?” (Hibiki)

Naturally, I began to fall .

I instinctively used wind magic deceleration and mental force magic effectively to add an angle to my fall, so as to prolong my air time .

Because of that, I ended up making a flashy entrance with a rider-kick hitting the wall of the western-style house .

Promptly there were guards that came over, however, none of them had a weapon that could damage dragon scales, so I was be able to make them faint one by one calmly .

“These guys have white hair too . ” (Hibiki)

As if it’s the same looking hair as Zir’s .

I checked their status and as I thought they had the same race as vampire .

“In short, are they relatives or something similar?” (Hibiki)

Although the family name is different, they should have some connections .

I should keep them from fainting from now on to extract some information .

As the next opposing victims came by because of the commotion, I extended Ruby’s body to capture them .

“Well then, what are you doing here?” (Hibiki)

As I thought, the captives also have white hair . As I believed that at this rate they won’t spill their guts, I changed my approach .

I punched through every inch of their body from head to toe .

They started bleeding by shaving their skin with my scale armor, and they screamed loudly but as the times passed they only glared at me .

Then with all my effort, I used a gentle voice to speak to the men of what I’m going to do from now on .

“From this moment onwards, I will torture you guys as I had just done . If there is no place for me to hit you, I will just use healing magic and keep on hitting . ” (Hibiki)

They started to tremble like mad, however I continued .

“Please tell me if you decide to spill your guts while I use magic on you, I will gladly hear you out . If you say that you will speak, I will hit you guys again and use magic once more and hear you out . That’s why I recommend you to speak early . Since there will be a lag when you finally decide to speak . ”

I heal them while I talk to them .

They started to tremble like mad .

“Well, let’s start . ” (Hibiki)

When I started to move my arms, both of them told me to wait, so I just listen to their talk without doing anything anymore .

Of course, I told them that if I heard any rubbish, they would face the consequences .

It seems that Zir is here to experience a ritual to transform into a vampire lord, a superior rank of vampire .

These guys’ boss seems to have threatened her that if she doesn’t become a vampire lord, we would end up in a dire situation, and brought her here .

Furthermore…

“The Evil God’s cult helped us to make this ritual . ” (Vampire)

“They said that once she becomes a vampire lord, she will immediately be transformed as a demon and will erase the contender heroes . ” (Vampire)

It seems that a vampire lord who becomes a demon has a similar power to that of a Demon King . In fact, there seems to exist a vampire lord that is also a demon king .

“They have told us that under the protection of a vampire lord, we could live in peace . ” (Vampire)

It seems that vampires are victims of persecution .

And it looks like Zir is a daughter of a royal vampire family .

They have been protecting the persecuted, but that seems to have lead to the extinction of the royals .

“That’s why if only she becomes the vampire lord, she will slay the humans and protect us . ” (Vampire)

I have heard an unpleasant story, but I won’t give up Zir just like that .

She is mine .

Even if she turns into a vampire lord, what would happen if I eradicate all that she had to protect .

Well for starters, I approach the men in front of my eyes .

“Wh-what are you trying to do!? St-stop it!! That wasn’t part of the deal!!” (Vampire)

“Shut up, you ended up becoming hindrances . ” (Hibiki)

“Do-don’t co-come!! AHHH” (Vampire)

Because the unnecessary jobs increased, I ended up spending too much time .

Every time I came across a guard, I used some time, but I finally reached the place where Zir should be at .

As I opened the double doors, there was an extravagant chair at the far end of the room, in which was seated a familiar looking lady .

“Zir!!” (Hibiki)

As I talked to her, Zir gave a twitch and opened her eyes slowly .

On her neck, there was a pendant which I have no memory of . Is that an item that was offered by the cooperators?

“What? Master? And wherefore art thou hither?” (Zir)

Zir is looking at me with curiosity . I feel a sense of discomfort looking at what seems to be Zir .

“What happened to your hair?” (Hibiki)

I realize the seed of discomfort . Her beautiful white hair has changed to black .

A soft black color like the wet feathers of a crow, it changes her atmosphere into a bewitching sexual appeal .

Don’t tell me that the ritual is over already? I check her status in a hurry .

“This? The color did change during the ritual . Dost master hate the black hair?” (Zir)

Zir’s casual gesture made me swallow my saliva . As I thought, the ritual is already over .

“Kuhuhuhu, it seems that it is to thy liking . ” (Zir)

“Zirconia-sama, please leave aside the jokes . ” (Velgord)

“What ever is the matter Velgord . Doth not interrupt mine and master’s lovers’ talk . ” (Zir)

Zir glances at the man named Velgord . The man kneels over just like from what seems to be a strong pressure for him .

“Zirconia-sama, that man is a human . ” (Velgord)

“I understand that already, tis impossible that would I mistake mine master . ” (Zir)

“However!!” (Velgord)

“Silence . ” (Zir)

That voice was quiet but was able to shake the heart violently .

As if Velgord was under sleep paralysis, he couldn’t move a finger even with all his willpower . (T/N: the term is “kanashibari”: being bound by a ghost or a similar entity while sleeping)

“Well then, master . I did not bethink that thou would especially come and pick me up . ” (Zir)

“It’s because you are mine . Didn’t you tell me also? That you wouldn’t cause any trouble . ” (Hibiki)

“Yea, I forsooth did tell thou that . ” (Zir)

“However, you caused some annoyance . ” (Hibiki)

“Mm? Is that soo?” (Zir)

“I’m annoyed by the fact that you aren’t with me!!” (Hibiki)

Zir became depressed for a moment, then she started laughing .

“Kuhuhu, that is an extremely passionate confession . ” (Zir)

“Whatever you may say, I won’t give up on you . ” (Hibiki)

“So that is’t, then master . ” (Zir)

“Tell me . ” (Hibiki)

I thought that it was time to fight, so I prepared every once of my strength .

“Then, let us go back . ” (Zir)

“What!?” (Hibiki)

“What!?” (Velgord)

I and Velgord, overlapped our responses .

“What? Did thou not come to pick me up?” (Zir)

“Ye-yeah, that’s right . ” (Hibiki)

“Then do let us go back already, I wonder, what thither wilt be for breakfast?” (Zir)

Zir slid off the chair, stood up, and walked slowly until she reached me . (TN: SFX: Teku-teku, so cute!?)

“Then, wherefore hast thou not embraced me yet . Ruby, thou art intruding, so depart for a little bit . ” (Zir)

Ruby listened to Zir’s words and left my body .

Zir opened her arms and is waiting for me to follow .

Zir hugged me with force .

“Yea, as I thought, being embraced by master is relaxing . ” (Zir)

“Ahaha, what were my worries . ” (Hibiki)

“Hmm, wast thou perhaps jealous that I went to meet another sir? It can not be helped . Even if I did has’t tell thou that thither is nay other sir than thou master . ” (Zir)

She was laughing exaggeratedly, and looking at Zir’s face all my worries flew away .

“Wait a minute—-!!” (Velgord)

We were planning to leave the mansion hugging each other, but we were stopped by Velgord .

“Thou art being noisome, did thou know . The ritual is already ov’r, is’t not?” (Zir)

“Yes, it is over . Even so, why are you still flirting with that man?” (Velgord)

“Even if thou asketh me . What is wrong with me hugging the sir I love?” (Zir)

“You became a vampire lord, you know!? So exterminating that man should be a piece of cake . ” (Velgord)

“Well, thither is nay reason for me to exterminate humans . ” (Zir)

“That is preposterous!! Do you not know that your parents were slain by humans!!” (Velgord)

“Forsooth that is true, until recently I did detest humans . ” (Zir)

“But why then!?” (Velgord)

“Thither is nay meaning in hating all humans, is’t not? Thither art valorous and dastardly humans . That is common knowledge . ” (Zir)

It’s true that when we meet, Zir hated us .

But there wasn’t anything special in our relationship until now, we just ate, slept, and lived together .

“To begin with, how many humans doth thou believe exist? Thither art too many of those folk . ” (Zir)

Zir was sighing in disappointment, and shrugged her shoulders .

“I won’t accept this . ” (Velgord)

“Well? What of?” (Zir)

“I won’t accept this!!” (Velgord)

Velgord shouted while he drew his sword .

“I’m not the only one . Not only I, but other of our kin that are here won’t forgive you!!” (Velgord)

There are approximately 50 vampires located here . If they all assaulted us together, even if I would be fine, I would worry about Zir’s safety .

Since I don’t know anything at all about a vampire lord’s capabilities .

However…

“Ah～, sorry . Your comrades, I defeated them all . ” (Hibiki)

“Wh-what!? Did you kill them all!?” (Velgord)

Hearing those words, Zir showed me a saddened expression . As one would expect, she would be affected if I mass murdered her kin .

“No, I just 【Subordinated】them . ” (Hibiki)

“What do you mean!? You must be human!?” (Velgord)

I can use all of Zir’s skills .

Skill

【Blood sucking (Lord)】

Sucks the target’s blood and makes the target’s stamina and mana into her own .

Also, can give the target the skill 【Blood sucking (servant)】 and give abnormal state [Vampire (servant)] .

With this skill, I made everyone into the state of [Vampire (Servant)] .

The abnormal state [Vampire (Servant)], can transform one into a [Vampire (Servant)] in an hour .

With this, I can easily command with absolute obedience a common vampire, to disarm easily .

“In other words, you are the only vampire here . ” (Hibiki)

“I-im-m-possible . ” (Velgord)

While Velgord was discouraged by the events, I went and gave him the status of 【Servant】 .

It seems that with this the pure lineage of the vampires could be said to have been destroyed .

With this, the incident was over and we triumphantly returned to the village .

“I’m back . ” (Hibiki)

“Welcome, back?”

“There are really a lot of them . ”

She is talking about the quantity of people .

The 52 vampires that lived in that western-style mansion lost their place to live .

I told them that the mansion was still there, but I was told that the mansion was just prepared for the ritual and they can’t live there for long .

And also, they requested to me that they want to live near Zir, who is the vampire lord .

“Master, I want to ask on behalf of those folk also . Can thou not beest their lighting post?” (Zir)

Since I was asked like that, I couldn’t refuse .

“You guys, I will make you work hard . I’m especially strict with guys!!” (Hibiki)

By the way, among those 52, there were 20 women .

“Master, I wilt not cease thee from embracing those women, but prithee make it consensual . ” (Zir) (T/N: not like those guys from Yale shouting absurd things)

“I’m fine with just you being the one sucking my blood . ” (Hibiki)

With this, there were new members in the village .
