Master’s Smile

Episode 156: A reward for hard work

I burned down my enemy, Gehilned, with solar magic.

... Though I felt like I was laughing when I saw Chillari and him at the end of the day...

Did you have something to think of in Gehilned, too?

Until the end, he tried to fight me. Was he a warrior...?

Hmmm... but it looks like he was kind of taking away the power of Van Peel, and he's a sigh for it...

Well, maybe he wasn't that bad of a man.

That's why I can't forgive Gehilned for what he did.

"Master!!

Van Peel rushes over to me thinking about Gehilned.

Boulders, real ancestral vampires. Seems like you can already run, even though you're not in a state of completeness with your power uprooted.

I take the vampires who dare to dive without Gabba and the ladies, with the utmost care not to damage her.

"It was a boulder, a master! You defeated my true ancestor, Gehilned, without any difficulty!

Let's say it's because of Munimuni and the soft double hills.

But it's wrong that you're not struggling.

If it was just Gehilned. Still, he had the power of Van Peel in his hands, too. He was quite troublesome.

That would have been me if he had been able to handle the full power of Van Peel.

... Well, that's okay. More than that, are you feeling okay with your body?

"Yes! If the Master defeats Gehilned, the wonder and power have come to pass!

"Perhaps the power of Master Van Peel, which Master Gehilned had taken away, has returned"

Mel comes next to Van Peel, who is furrowing his nose.

Ah, Mel. Were you okay, too?

Between now and then, you seem to have worked very hard...

Thank you for protecting Van Peel.

That's what I said, and I stroked Mel's head.

"Yes, no...... I have to keep Master's words, and well... for once, I am the servant of Van Peel..."

Yeah? Nothing. I don't think you need to protect me...

Does this mean you admire me?

Then you're happy, aren't you?

Mel is small, so I stroked her head stuck, but I'm glad she doesn't even look like she hates it.

"Master!! I did my best too!!

As he stroked Mel's head with almost the air, Van Peel's shouts smashed it to pieces.

He sparkles his eyes and looks up at me.

Ugh, yeah, well.

"Ha! Damn, I had a hard time fighting while protecting Mel!

Van Peel makes a very hard appeal.

It would be true that she worked hard, though I suspect Mel would be a maid of honor to be protected.

Well, I wouldn't mind at all if I were to stroke your head...

Trying to reach for Van Peel's head thinking so......

"I won't listen to you. Master Van Peel said hi-hi to Gehilned's handler. I did my best."

"Become...!?

That's what Mel said, grabbing my hand as he was about to put it on Van Peel's head and putting it back on his head again.

To this, it is Van Peel who is stunned.

"The Gehilned I fought for is my true ancestor!? Mel fought would be a family member of the accessory in question!? I wonder what you intend to win by fighting that family!?

"I did my best"

"Besides, I wasn't in perfect condition!?

"I did my best"

"Much, no, no, no!! You don't listen to people!!

Van Peel and Mel start a fight with Gaagaa.

It's no longer the norm.

Well, he also says we're close enough to fight, and you can let him do whatever he wants.

But it is a combination of true ancestors and elderly relatives.

If a normal human being like me gets involved, he'll be turned into a hiccup.

Watching them from a little distance, I see about the children of the family of Gehilned.

They are suddenly losing themselves in the way of losing the Lord and also losing their power.

Hmmm... what shall we do with these kids...

I went back to being a human, and should I put her back in her tiny spot?

... Is this what the Master of the Dark Alliance does...?

Yes, no... well, fine. Nothing, I didn't become a dark guild because I wanted to.

More than that, if their return wasn't wanted... what would we do...?

"Oh? Are you done yet?

It was Liturgia who fluttered down next to me.

That cute figure had no way of looking injured or anything like that.

Yeah, it's over.

"Wasn't that man there? I was going to kill him this time..."

... Oh, with that said, you had a man that Liturgia had been defeated.

But Gehilned was the only one here, wasn't he?

"Huh? Gehilned?... That guy, you were working with that guy. What happened to Gehilned?

Uh... I knocked him out.

Gehilned is a true ancestor, and Liturgia a true ancestor.

I thought they might have had a personal friendship, and I gave them a bad toothpick.

Then you guessed how I felt, Liturgia, laughing all the time.

"I don't know what I'm mistaken about, but I don't really think about Gehilned. We fought and lost, so it's not his fault. Besides, it looks like he was working with that guy too... a traitor who put his vampire territory at risk."

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm glad you're not going to fight Liturgia.

Even though Gehilned was full of opponents, I'm not going to be able to stand to fight my true ancestors again.

"...... Nevertheless, now Gehilned also falls off following me. … which means that the lord of this vampire realm..."

I remember the words of Liturgia. [M]

With that said, you were talking about that during the True Ancestors' Conference.

Sure, the people who were strongest against each other by their true ancestors rule the Vampire Realm...... was it like?

Liturgia was taken down by Van Peel, and Gehilned was defeated by me once, but I will handle Van Peel as bait.

… that is. That Van Peel, who gave down his two true ancestors, will be lords...?

So, are you okay, vampire collar?

"It's definitely not gonna be okay. Uh, already! That sucks!!

Liturgia shakes her head with a boom and gets bored.

Or I've never seen her mess up so far......

I try to change the subject. [M]

Oh, yeah. With that said, are the injuries okay now?

For once, although the recovery magic was applied, I couldn't confirm it because I was in a hurry at that time.

"Ha! Who do you think I am? I was somewhat alarmed, so I took the delay, but I could still do it with that kind of scratch."

Ooh, the boulder is Liturgia, the vampire of the true ancestors.

Although the splendid mansion was on the verge of collapse, there seemed to be no problem.

Then my recovery magic might have been an extra favor.

"............... yes"

As I smiled, Liturgia shrugged bossly.

He looks at me and laughs at me like a jerk. [M]

Oh, what...?

"Ah... it looks like the wound was deep after all..."

Liturgia brought about by fluttering and breaking feet.

It sounds very acting......

But you also take her little body without being able to avoid it.

Duh, what should I do? Shall we do some restorative magic?

When I hear that, I shake my neck sideways, Liturgia.

"No, you can't. Now I can't demodulate with healing magic."

Do you have such symptoms...

Sure, my healing magic is rough compared to Anato's, but if it's a general injury, I can heal it...

"This is, you know... I need your blood, Master."

Liturgia looking up at me glossy somewhere.

I wonder what that is?

... Well, I owe Liturgia a debt of gratitude for telling me about the Van Peel and Mel crises.

It's as cheap as my blood.

Oh, yeah. In exchange for my blood... but if they don't have a place to go, could you pick it up at your place?

"They......? Oh, you're a former family member of Gehilned, aren't you?

When I snorted, Liturgia looked at me like I was frightened.

"You're a good person. I wish I could leave my enemy's family alone."

No...... They wouldn't have wanted it either and become family......

"... Fine. In exchange for your blood, I'll think about it."

Oh, thank you.

Then I'll expose my neck.

And, yes, please, I'll give you my neck.

Then, Liturgia leaked her colorful sigh.

"Ha... You can finally drink the blood that makes Van Peel's idiot say it tastes so good. One sip then, maybe it's not enough."

I take that word seriously. [M]

Oh, um... please keep it dry...

"I can't be sure."

Hi-ha!

Even though I'm more scared now and I'm trying to escape, Liturgia's already stuck to my body and won't leave.

Though I am intimate with my body, I don't feel very uneven.

After Van Peel, so do you think so?

"Well, here you go."

Liturgia brilliant with guillari and fangs.

Oh...... even if you escape reality, blood is sucked......

"Wait!!

But as soon as my fangs were sticking out on my skin, I could hear Van Peel saying that.

Oh, thanks! I've never felt more relied on!

Van Peel approaching looking like Zukazuka and Angry Mind.

Behind that, some Mel was fighting with her.

"How many times are you trying to get the Master's blood while I'm not watching!?

"What. The master says it's good, so I don't need your approval."

"There's a lot of it! The Master's blood is mine alone!!

Watch Liturgia hug me and step on the estate vampire.

I can't give this to you, and Liturgia has held me as strongly as she says.

That's when Mel says with no expression.

"And I, the servant of Master Van Peel, also have the right to the blood of the Master"

"Only at times like this will my servant declare!? I won't admit it!!

Van Peel reacts with Gabby to a convenient proclamation.

Now Liturgia was also involved, a triplets fight began.

... let's not think about the fact that this is my cause.

I don't want to stop these three fights.

True ancestors are two, and one elderly relative. One human being.

... who dies the most can easily be predicted.

Phew...... but glad I managed to do well.

I think it's time to get back to Alliance headquarters......
