Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Episode XI: Negotiations

I left the inn alone at night when the crowd was gone.

It's just a country city, with few people on the street. Still, careful not to be as conspicuous as possible, head to the meeting place that was written in the letter.

Half a moon was floating in the sky. Something like "neither acceptable nor impossible" at the monthly age? But now my body was overflowing with power.

Maybe it's more overflowing than it was when I met Ephe. Comfortable, even a nose song comes out.

I got Cenri's blood. I just let him drink it during this time, but this time he let me smoke a little more. It became a bit of a forceful persuasion, but I really needed strength to come to a deal.

It is not a blood suction to reduce the blood suction impulse. Blood sucking to boost your strength. Neither the strength nor the pleasure gained is the ratio when you were getting a little blood from your fingertips.

The meeting place written in the letter was a large tavern. Not even late at night, it's crowded with a lot of guests.

Probably to loosen my guard a little. He says he doesn't have to worry about launching an attack because he's in front of a lot of ordinary people.

A letter filled with animosity at the end of the cross was, however, a request to negotiate with me.

The sender is not an end knight, but the vampire hunt "Vampire Hunter" that he received a request from that knight.

I was expecting to be chased, but I wasn't expecting to be caught up.

I should have kept you apart for a long time, but how did you catch up, and how can you escape from this?

The letter stated that Cenri would not be informed and that he would come alone and that he had a condition for negotiations - a gem (called the Night Crystal) that would conceal negative signs.

Having loaded it up, I decided to place a bet after worrying about it. They're holding my neck back at a time when I've already found out where I am.

In the meantime, I don't think they'll kill me the minute we meet. If you're going to kill him, you won't have to tear the chase apart, but you'll have to stop him from breathing in an ambush.

Most importantly, the Night Crystal was what I needed most now. Seems like a pretty rare item, Cenri said.

It's good to know that the target is a vampire hunter. The End Knight doesn't forgive the dark family, but if it's just a vampire hunt for gold, he still has eyes for negotiation. I don't know what they're going to demand, but it's largely predictable.

Go through the dazzling light and enter the store to find someone to negotiate with.

The negotiator was quickly found.

Even the vampire hunt was in the eyes, dressed with one eye.

It's a pair of big, black-out men and black-out girls as well. A large cross pendant is lowered on the chest. It's too obvious to make me laugh.

The cross is a weakness. But it's not at the level of ashes if you get close. And the impact on me, the inferior, is not that great.

When I was ready, I slowly went to the table. A man's frigid black eyes and his eyes that make me feel wild like a woman's beast shoot through me.

It's human. I can't feel the energy of an end knight on those two.

I heard vampire hunters are people who hunt vampires on their own, but I see...... really great courage. Even I, the lower vampire, can't think about hunting vampires, but I'm a fragile person trying to make it...

This is - don't be alarmed.

I calmed my fierce spirit with my first intense blood-sucking behavior in a long time and smiled at my mouth. [M]

It's a pair that doesn't feel right. Maybe that impression is the same from the general public. I have been singling out my surrounding gaze since earlier.

"You are... the end"

The girl says more in a trembling angry voice as well.

She has dark hair and black eyes. Age looks below the centimeter, but intimidation is not its ratio. It's like a handy beast. Is there any resentment towards me? [M]

"I'll keep it for your invitation, it's an honor. Besides, you care so much for me..."

"... you should sit down. I'm not here to fight. The request... must be fulfilled properly."

The man narrows his eyes more and turns his embarrassing gaze next to him.

He's a clever man. But the light behind its precipitated eyes is not roughly like pointing it at man.

I followed that recommendation and cautiously took the front seat.

"As promised, you seem to have come alone. You haven't talked to him, have you?

"Until I answered in good faith. Besides, Cenri is getting a little tired right now..."

To my words, an ageless man moves his eyebrows pickly and nods, "Preliminary information correct."

Apparently, they were looking into it. They even found out about the inn room, which is exactly what they were supposed to do.

The power is rising. Everything is just as I imagined.

"She's Albatos. I... in this neighborhood it's called 'Kainushi'"

"Kainushi......? What do you keep?

The man who named Kainushi smiled without saying anything and took a piece of paper out of his nostalgia.

Take out the pen and let it slide all the way over the table with you. And I said straight in without even asking for food.

"My request is - there's only one request. I want your princess Ephe back."

"Instead, what are you putting out?

To my inquiry, Kainushi said with a deep grin and a whispering voice.

"Complete, free. Instead, I'll give you complete freedom. Give me the Night Crystal to hide the negative energy... the Knights of the End will never follow you again. I... am just an intermediary. They can't help but kill when they see the undead. Not a bad deal, I suppose?

I see... is that coming?
