I took Illis to the inn, where I was completely off, and put him to bed.
When you fall down from a depletion of magic, you generally don't wake up for an hour or so.
Iris will need to let him sleep for a while.
Next, I used the Magic Call Device to report back to the Brave Alliance on the status quo.
Four vampire spawns were lurking in one of the village dwellings and, after repelling them, using Illis' [Ultimate Healing (Ultimate Heel)] to claim the lives of the victims.
But that we have not yet encountered the vampire itself, which is supposed to exist as the beginning of the case, and that we have not yet grasped Cecilia's news.
When I gave those streets of information to the Guild of the Brave, I hung up the call on the Magic Instructor.
"Phew..."
That's one paragraph.
I sit tight in one of the chairs in the inn room and grab a cup with the milk by my side and pour the contents into my stomach.
Then Rio, who saw me like that, stood before me with a worried face and said this.
"Hey brother, are you tired? -Are you okay? Rub your tits?"
"Boo!"
I sprayed a lot of milk.
"Whoa, whoa...!
"Wow, brother, you're dirty! It took!
"Wow, bad...... But, Rio, where did you learn to talk like that?"
I'll get a towel and wipe Rio's body.
Rio was being wiped by me while blushing a little, but along the way he said, "I'll do it myself..." and took the towel from me and started wiping it myself.
"... Sister Cecilia taught me. Man says rubbing his tits blows his fatigue away."
"Your fucking amah......! What the fuck are you blowing into our pretty angel!
"... sister, you didn't tell me that.... I'm so hurt right now"
Mayfa, on the other hand, was crumbling against the floor of the room looking at her flat chest.
Uh... well, what, Mayfa has Mayfa charm, so I don't think you have to worry about it, huh?
And that's bullshit aside.
"Bye, Rio. I need a favor from you."
"Mm, what? You want to rub my tits after all? Brother, you're a jerk."
"No, I'm not. - Rio, if you have something to hide from me, tell me here and now."
When I said that, Rio turned true in an instant.
Mayfa, who was falling apart, listens to the story with interest as well.
"Uh... hey, I don't know what you're talking about, brother"
That's what Rio says, but those eyes were swimming left to the right.
─ ─ I was uncomfortable with Rio's words and actions after he defeated Vampire Spawn.
Only a few after that, there was something that seemed unnatural about the words that came out of Rio's mouth.
It was a little later than Illis when Rio led the villagers to evacuation, and in the meantime - when Rio was away from me - something might have happened.
I put my hands on both shoulders of Rio.
Rio trembled.
"Rio, if anything happens, talk to me. Depending on what you're talking about, it could be a danger to Rio, Illis, Mayfa."
"So... nothing..."
With that said, Rio still doesn't try to keep an eye on me.
You seem pretty sure you're hiding something from me, but you weren't going to tell me.
I have no choice.
"Okay. If you remember anything, let me know then."
"... yeah"
Rio just answered that, nagging.
Mayfa watched it in a way that seemed to think of something.
While there is such an act.
After a while, Iris woke up, so we all had lunch in the inn dining room afterwards.
"" "" Here you go!
Surrounding a round table of four wooden people, we all join hands in front of the dish.
Bread and soup, accompanying salad for roasted chicken and orange for dessert.
As Rio, Iris, and Mayfa began to thoughtfully carry their meals into their mouths, I lectured my teachers about the vampires I knew.
That vampires have the ability to turn their victims into spawns by attacking humans and sucking their blood.
In addition to its high combat power and the fact that it is damaged when exposed to sunlight, or weakened if it does not sleep in a place with "unclean soil".
Plus...
"Vampires also have a number of other strange abilities and traits. For example, 'vampires cannot enter a house where people live without being invited by their families' has a weakness."
"... I'm not sure what that is.... Brother, what do you mean?
To my explanation, Mayfa tilts her neck.
Illis also seemed to wonder, but Rio is another way to think.
I'm still concerned about Rio's behavior, but okay.
I'll keep explaining.
"I'm not sure how it works, but the content is just as I said. Vampires cannot enter a house where people live without being invited by the people inside. I mean, people's homes only work for vampires, and they work like a bond."
"... I don't understand why they explain it.... too mysterious a phenomenon"
Even with my explanation, Mayfa still didn't fall for it.
I know how you feel.
At first, I thought, "What the hell?"
"Well in any case, it means it's of that nature. So that instruction that the village chief gave the villagers," Don't go outside the house in the middle of the night, "is quite correct as a result theory. Vampires damaged by sunlight do not want to move much during the day and usually sleep in coffins laid with 'unclean soil'. But if vampires try to get out of the coffin at night, all humans are in the house at night and can't help themselves. If this happens, it's hard to move beyond."
"I see...... But Doctor, then how could those people in that house have become vampire spawns? If vampires can't get inside the house, it's like they can't even bite and breathe blood..."
Bring the salad to your mouth with a fork while Illis asks you that question.
Good question.
"There are a few possibilities for that... Maybe, for some reason, a family member in the house invited a vampire in."
"For some reason...... For example, what do you have..."
"Well, I know I can think of as much - for example, vampires have another nasty ability. [Enchanted Demon's Eye]"
"... you still have it? … Next, a monster called a vampire, like a trade fair with special abilities.... So, brother, what kind of ability is [fascinating demon eye]?
While I laugh bitterly at Mayfa's thoughts like that, I answer.
"[The Enchanted Devil's Eye] is the ability of vampires to magically interfere with the 'heart' of their eye-to-eye opponents to force them to 'fall in love' with themselves. When the average person with weak resistance is targeted, it becomes an intoxicating state of love towards a vampire who is the user of his abilities in one shot. So..."
"Oh, you know, brother...!
That's when Rio suddenly pinched his mouth.
Rio was staring at me like he was anxious.
"Hmm...? What is it, Rio?
I try to make a nice face and cheer on Rio.
Seeing my face, Rio continues his words as he blushes a little.
"No, the... for example, what happens if a brave man like us receives that [enchanting demon's eye] instead of the average person?
"... Well it depends on the level of that brave man or the strength of his resistance, but it sounds like he's less likely to get sticky and intoxicated than the average person gets. If you just can't resist it completely, it seems to work enough to favor that vampire or take on every request from a vampire"
"Oh well..."
That said, Rio got upset to think of something again.
... I see.
I think I saw roughly what Rio was hiding.
Very dangerous condition, but rather the fact that Rio is here in this state now should be said to have been lucky.
I grate my chest.
One wrong step, I was just about to be outrageous.
I don't know exactly what the enemy is thinking, but... aside.
I got up from my seat, walked up in the air and stood behind the seat where Rio was sitting.
Rio looks at me in a hurry.
"To, brother, hey, what...?
"I'm sorry, Rio, but I'm gonna hold you for a second."
"Heh...? Wow......!?
I kick down the chair where Rio was sitting.
And I knocked Rio out of balance, and I pushed him over the dining room floor.
