[ Episode 362. Direct Vampire]

The inside of the castle was so huge that you couldn’t believe it was inside the building. Even I, who had experienced it in the game, was amazed at how it looked as if an entire city had been brought into the building.

“how is it?”

“Incredible.”

“yes? I knew it. Hi-Hi.”

Angela didn’t hide her smile the whole time she walked, wondering what was so good about it. When I saw her talking to me with a smile on her eyes, I wondered what the hell was so good about it.

“Why did you invite me?”

At that time, Vivian, who was looking around, asked a question in a low voice.

“what?”

“You invited Adrias. What is the reason?”

“You would have said earlier? I invited you because I wanted to see you.”

I couldn’t figure it out, but it seemed like a strange current was flowing between the two.

“I didn’t come here without thinking.”

“hmm? then?”

“As far as I know, there is sin in Lucifer.”

just said it honestly.

It’s not meant to be hidden in the first place.

“crime? ah! that?”

Angela seemed to be pondering, then smiled.

“I know. Could it be that you came to find sin?”

“It’s a combination of both.”

When I nodded and answered, Angela gave me a sad expression.

“Didn’t you come to see me?”

“I came because I was invited in the first place. If I had only thought of sin, I would have just come, not an invitation.”

“That is also true. But why do you want sin?”

“I am a black magician. And sin is the most powerful tool of black magic. It would be rather strange not to pay attention.”

“Ohh.”

While Angela was convinced, signs were gradually revealed around her.

“Let’s go to our district. If you stay here, your eyes will be drawn to you.”

Angela whistled and walked away briskly again. It was strange that he looked like an immature child, but I thought he was originally like this.

Then Vivian, who had been listening to our conversation, slipped in.

“How did you two get to know each other?”

“yes? ah! I first saw it at the academy.”

“Academy?”

Vivian looked at me with a face asking what that means.

“Have you ever mentioned a professor named Karon Diflen before?”

“huh. He was actually a warlock and the one who turned Adrias into a warlock.”

“Dyeing... is a bit ambiguous. Anyway, the vampire he had.”

“really?”

Vivian looked in disbelief as Angela went ahead.

“It counted.”

“I was weak then.”

How weak would he have been to be captured by someone like Charon?

To be honest, this is one of the things I still don’t understand. Now that I think about it, Angela wasn’t just a vampire, she was a direct descendant.

‘If you think of Isabelle or other direct lineages...’

Isabelle was not an ordinary direct line vampire, and she did not actually witness all of her skills with her own two eyes, but considering the difficulties of line line lines that she experienced in the game, it was somewhat inferred. was possible

Although the current Angela, who has evolved, feels the dignity of a direct descendant.

“Then are you stronger now?”

“uh. Thanks to you, I got stronger and was able to escape.”

Angela, who had been listening to our conversation, looked back and smiled.

“That’s why I’m not trying to repay the favor now. haha!”

“Thanks to?”

I heard Vivian’s questioning voice, but I tried to ignore it. No talk about evolution yet, maybe not yet, maybe not for the rest of my life?

While we were walking and talking, the scenery gradually began to change. The scenery, which was like an underground city, changed and changed to an environment full of bushes and trees, just like when I first came to Niflheim.

“This is my area. It’s still a bit lacking, but it has its own taste.”

As far as I know, the area of Lucifer Castle is almost the size of a small city-state. In terms of internal area alone, even Portion is at a level where it folds a number.

‘For something like that, it wasn’t far from the entrance.’

I thought maybe it was still weak.

As a vampire who lives for a long time, it must have been difficult with just a few years.

“Oh. how is your sister? I get along well?”

“I am running a small orchard on my estate. I get help from time to time.”

The woman with a wine glass in her hand gave off a strange atmosphere as if she was somewhere between a woman and a girl.

“I know.”

“And being Angela’s guest?”

“okay.”

Vladimir said as if it was no big deal.

But the woman on the other side narrowed her eyes and looked at Vladimir like that.

“He was human.”

“I know that too.”

“Maybe I should check it out?”

Vladimir looked at the woman with strange eyes.

In the meantime, they have lived for countless years, and they have fallen into a curse.

It was the curse of sloth.

“You dare...confirm?”

As such, Vladimir couldn’t understand the opponent’s current reaction.

It’s not something I’ve experienced for a day or two, and the visits of only two humans were nothing compared to what I’ve experienced in those long years.

“I would have turned off my nerves normally, but Angela is bothering me.”

“Recently, Angela stands out, but her power is the weakest here. And there is nothing you can do alone.”

“Have you forgotten where Angela is from?”

The woman said, narrowing her eyes.

“He said he came from the continent. How do I know if there are any connections I made there?”

“Anyway, at least he’s human.”

“Only human? Have you forgotten Maximin Cronel, Vladimir?”

When the name came up unexpectedly, Vladimir frowned too.

“That is a case where he was unique. Not all humans are like that.”

“Anyway, I need to know. We need to know what that mongrel is up to again.”

Not pureblood, but a mongrel...

The woman’s low self-talk passed around the wine glass.

“Bathory.”

Vladimir called for Bathory Lucifer, a woman with a nervous complexion.

“Anyway, there is nothing Angela can do. You seem too obsessive.”

“I can’t put my mind at ease until she dies.”

“Anyway, I won’t get involved.”

“okay. I didn’t even think you would help anyway. I’m just here to warn you. Please do not come between us.”

After that, Bathory drank the wine in one gulp and stood up. Vladimir, who had been staring at that figure, nodded with a languid expression.

“It’s pointless to worry, Bathory. It would have been better to go and talk to someone other than me.”

“The other guys? No one dares to interfere with my procession.”

“Am I the only one who can interfere?”

“......joy.”

Bathory, who didn’t want to admit it but didn’t deny it, turned around and left the castle.

“Hmm...”

Looking at Batory’s back, Vladimir stroked his chin. In fact, Vladimir was not very interested in the fact that an outsider had come, but after seeing Batory’s reaction, he became rather interested.

“Angela Lucifer.”

What he was interested in was Angela rather than the guests.

His youngest brother, whom he thought was dead. Most of her immediate family did not recognize her as a half-human/vampire, but he was different.

When she came back suddenly and wielded power that she had never seen before, she even touched Vladimir’s curiosity, who had fallen into indolence.

“Shall I just watch?”

It was his younger brother who made his boring recent life at least interesting. Even if she was killed by Bathory, I had no intention of helping her, but I thought it would be okay to observe her.

right!

Vladimir gave a signal and someone appeared from the shadows.

“Did you call?”

“Observe Angela. Don’t get involved in what happens to her.”

“What will humans do?”

“Um...”

To be honest, I didn’t have any interest, but I had a feeling that I might.

Could it be that he was an out-of-standard person, like the human that Isabelle had brought him one day?

“Look. If you get a chance, try killing one. I am curious about your skills.”

“All right.”

Even his subordinates calmly accepted the order lightly thrown as if to kill a bug.

“Still, as long as they don’t die, as long as they’re the humans Angela called, there’s a chance.”

Only Vladimir’s monologue flowed slowly in the pitch-black castle.
