Chapter 80 80 – Let’s Go To Romania

"Go to Romania, brat."

Suddenly, Marcus barged into the restaurant and told Kai off when he was still drinking tea with Amber and Ibaraki after seeing Mai and Anna off.

He was confused and looked at his grandfather as if he was a crazy person.

"What?" He asked, putting his tea on the table. "Why so suddenly?"

Marcus approached them and slammed a paper on the table.

"You tried to find the Boogeymen, right? Just go to Romania, and you will find the trace of that fucking monster. Oh, visit the Vampire too, and don't go to the Slayer Organization. The Vampires will help you if they know your title. I will take care of things in this place."

Then he took the tea that Kai put on the table and drank the rest of the content before walking away, much more to the three confusion.

"What just happened?" Ibaraki asked the other two while tilting her head slightly.

Amber took the paper Marcus put on the table and read what was written on it.

"I think I know why your grandfather did that, Kai." The Phoenix girl said as she handed the paper in her hand to Kai. "Please read this first."

This time, Kai read the paper and squinted his eyes. The investigation result about what happened in New York City was written there, and there was a special note in the last sentence.

"It is believed that the organization called 'Memento Mori' is responsible for Boogeymen's early advent. The creature's main body was last seen on the Romania edge, near the Black Sea where the Boogeymen was sealed."

Raising his head, Kai looked at Amber. "Is this true?"

"If we can believe what was written on it, then it might be true. Your grandfather said to go to Romania too, right?"

"Well, that's…" He couldn't retort to anything she said.

It was unusual for Marcus to tell him to go somewhere, especially when the old man also understood that sending him to chase after the Boogeymen's main body was dangerous.

But his grandfather did exactly the opposite of what he thought, even giving him a piece of information.

"He also said something about the Vampire. Is Romania the home for Vampires?"

"Yes. One of the vampire royal families had a residence in Romania while one of them is in France." Amber replied with a nod.

Ibaraki, who listened to their conversation, held her chin, thinking about something. Then after she remembered it, she turned to Kai and called him out.

"Master. If it's Romania Vampires, then I remember that one of them had served the strongest in the past. If he's still alive, then he will surely help you."

"I see." Kai understood why Marcus said to meet the Vampires then. "It seems that we need to go to that country. Grandpa also said he would take care of things here, but would he be okay? I am a bit worried."

"D-Don't worry about him, Master! There is something strong protecting your grandfather, so I believe he will be fine." Ibaraki reassured him with a smile.

Something strong protecting his grandfather. Kai guessed it must be the strange presence that he could feel after he got a bit stronger from advancing his bond with Ibaraki.

'If that's the case, then I don't need to worry about him too.'

"So we are going to then?" He asked for confirmation from these two girls.

Even though he personally wanted to find Boogeymen for some strange reason, as if there was a force driving him to find the Boogeymen no matter what, he still wanted to respect the girls by asking their opinions.

"Romania is a nice city, so I would like to visit it," Amber replied with a smile.

Ibaraki looked at Kai and nodded slightly, "I-I will follow your decision, Master."

"Alright." Kai smiled, thankful for the other two for always supporting his decision.

Indeed, they had always supported him. It made him happy, and he felt blessed. Slowly, he would learn more about Supernatural World and not be a burden to them anymore.

Not only was the Supernatural World more dangerous than it seemed to appear, but there were also a lot of secrets he didn't know yet. The report he read earlier just made him more curious, and he wanted to explore more.

Still, there was one problem.

"What should we do about the restaurant if I am not here and grandpa went to solve the problem in New York City?"

At that moment, his phone rang, and a message came in. It came from his grandpa, saying that he didn't need to worry about the restaurant because some friends would help to tend it. He wondered why Marcus told him through the mail instead of telling him directly, but that lifted a bit of his worry.

"It seems that I don't need to worry about it. Let's prepare for it tonight. The faster the better."

***

A day later, Kai arrived in Romania's Capital, Bucharest, with Amber and Ibaraki. His preparation was done last night, and he made sure to check the time difference this time, so they arrived when it was already morning in Romania.

Just like Japan, they rode on Amber's back to get to Romania. It was free and fast. With Kai and Ibaraki strong enough to hold on to her feather, Amber could fly faster than a plane.

Once they entered Romania, the first thing Kai noticed was a thin barrier, invisible to the naked eyes, covering the whole country. He felt like he passed a thin bubble for a slight second.

"That is a barrier to keep the sun from burning the Vampires. The Shaman in Europa helped the Vampires set it up in exchange for their protection." Or so Amber explained to him when he was looking around with interest.

On a side note, Amber and Ibaraki both wore color lenses to hide the fact they were Mythical creatures. Their visit to Romania was only known to Marcus, and he didn't want to create any trouble on his first day, just like what happened in Oni Village.

After he made sure that the Vampires were welcoming to strangers and wouldn't make a big deal of two Mythical creatures walking side by side, which was probably impossible, only then would he allow them to take off their color lenses.

"Well then, let's find a hotel first." Kai exclaimed as he walked side-by-side with both girls. His arms were taken and buried between their breasts, just like usual.

Romania was a rather big country, so it would be hard to find the Boogeymen without a clue.

'That's why I need the Vampires' help, just like what grandpa said. But… will they really help me if I flaunt my title as the Ruler? I hope nothing troublesome happened.'

He didn't know then how big the Ruler's influence was and what kind of drive he had for him to be so fixated on the Boogeymen.
