Liza closed in on the Va Step and suppressed the the Vampire Slaves a chance to use their specific ability, [Mist Form]

"Cats and children"

I restrain the Vaic [Soul Bind (Hold Undead Soul)]

They'd get aith Mist Foric see in anguish

I feel pretty bad since their appearances are that of cats and infants

The last red dot approached us while I was thinking that

A shadow jumped out of an inconspicuous corner in the tunnel

Liza quickly holds down the shadow on the ground while leaving trails of red light fro

"Torque! Please, I don'tVairl

Moreover, her attire is that of a nor to AR readings, she's a level 20 Vampire with all the specific abilities peculiar to the species, but she's only 12 year old without skills nor gifts

Detailed info taught hter of an ordinary faet any info out of her, but I should ask just to be sure

"Tell me all information you have I'll let theive me a satisfactory one"

"Infor!"

She's ht

Looks like there was no need for hostages and interrogation

"When did you becos before I realized it, and when I saw irl irl hesitantly spoke, "Thirsting for blood, she was afraid she'd assault her family and ran out of her house"

"Then tell me what you can recall about the time before you turned into vampire No matter how trivial it is"

"Before I turned?"

"Before you have fangs"

The girl closed her mouth with a serious look afterward

She's probably retracing her ot unusual jerky from the uncle next door It was really tasty"

Liza who's standing next to irl's story

"I ate the jerky at the fountain since my little brother would have snatched if I went hoet water fro who juh it was really painful and I had it bandaged"

The girl recited the day in stutters

Even though there were some suspicious episodes, none seemed to be related to the vampire yet

"Come to think of it, there was someone weird at the fountain square"

"So water froh he was a noble"

Well, normally nobles would have sent their servants to do that

According to the girls, his entire body was hidden in a hooded irl concluded that he was a noble since the clothes seen froh-class suit

"Also"

"Also?"

I urged on the girl who hesitated to continue on

"That person went away so the pot he used to draater"

That's suspicious for sure

"Did anything unusual happen afterward?"

"Nn, I don't think so"

I asked the girl about the location of the fountain in question, and checked it with space ic [Clairvoyance]

There was not even a trace of the pot

It was either taken away or destroyed during the vaot stung by a bug"

The girl raised her skirt and pointed at her leg

Not a trace of bug bite there

It must have been healed by the recovery rate of a vas? Like how other people were like"

"Other people? Oh right, lots of people were yawning"

"At what tih it was the tiry, I felt really sleepy so I went straight home, I think"

And apparently, she was a va bothered me hat she said

"You think?"

"Un, I don't really remember what happened after I felt sleepy"

It see ic as a for unnatural involved, like ly nobleman that dreater with a pot at the fountain is theare suspicious too, but it's impossible for the is suspicious too with the bloodsucking thing and all, but these fiction on earth-like stuff like turning people into vampires by means of insects can't possibly exist in this world

Just in case, I contacted h elf Aze-san at the Boruenan forest, Hikaru as acting as the founder king, and the [Master of Forbidden Library] princess Sistina through space ic [Telephone], and re-confirh the threeforth True Ancestor

"Now then, what to do with these kids"

Apparently,each other while looking terrified

I forgot about the outstanding senses of vahtened At the very least, we're not going to kill you"

These kids have no Cri people carved on their status

They must have been terrified and fled here

I asked thees and their family names, but I couldn't find those names in the country with Map search

Unfortunately, they see the vas here for a bit"

I entrusted the kids' safety to Liza, teleported to the True Ancestor Ban's castle in the labyrinth's lower layer, and requested them to take the kids and cats into custody

Of course, they asked reed tothis opportunity to kill their time

Well, compensations here mean three bottles of a cheap wine [Lesseu's Blood], so it's really just for form's sake

"Suspicious noblee's Tower』 He ca, e's Tower should be the name of a city state where the Karion Main Temple resides

Apparently, there were reports of suspicious individuals sighted by the citizens, one of the guard even dropped by to question hian Saga or soot if it was illegiti 100th seat for the succession got a laugh out of a Emperor huh The fishiness has been turned up to eleven

I should search the Map just in case

--There he is

Or rather, was

Shigan Saga has become a corpse in a forest near the capital city

There's no other corpses around hiic [Clairvoyance], he had been outfitted with thief-like attires, his face had been crushed, and there was nothing in his belonging that could be used to trace back his identity

Well, Appraisal skill should be able to identify him to an extent, but there's no way anyone would dispatch an appraiser to a mountain where a bandit's corpse was found, neither would they carry a bandit's body down the h chance he was killed to silence him

I had declared that [There is no next time] when I put the [Damocles's Sword] in the emperor's bedroom, so even with the circua Eate Saga E Kingdoo ahead to the next trial after escorting Rusus and Fifi there, but the plan has changed

I let out a sone awry crossed my mind
