Before Michael and Chrone entered Valpulgius' territory.
It goes back a little bit, when Latiel entered the territory of Valpulgius.Latiel was thinking about what was going to happen in the wagon.
"First true ancestor" Old blood "Valpulgius... the oldest and strongest true ancestor.A vampire who immortalized his second and third true ancestors..... "
All I know is this information, but it was hopeless.
I don't know what technology or magic it is, but the power of the angels is sealed.Vampire technology seems to be making considerable progress.If this technology spills out, even humans may be able to beat angels.
All Latiel knows is that Valpulgius is the most powerful true ancestor.I will definitely be sucked on blood.
"... I have to escape somehow.Mika-chan might be looking for it. "
But Latiel, sealed with the power of an angel, is no different from a human girl.
So, even if Latiel unleashes the power of the angels, Valpulgius can't even fight vampires... Twelve messengers are not the only ones who specialize in combat.
And the carriage stopped.
"Get off."
Inspired by the vampire who was the ruler, Latiel stepped out of the carriage.
Where is this place?
Even if I look around, I don't know because I am wrapped in fog.
I mean, it's a forest anyway.Latiel stood in the middle of the foggy forest.
"Walk straight. Keep going and we'll be there."
"... eh?
Just walk.
The vampire of the Emperor told me that Latiel was walking... and now I can't resist.
Walk as you were told for a minute.Suddenly the light suddenly turned bright in front of her and Latiel closed her eyes.
─ ─ ─ Eyelashes
"Welcome, Twelve Apostles of the Angel Society... Uh, Latiel?
"... eh"
When I opened my eyes, it was a very old house.
Can I call it a simple room in a wooden house?The fireplace bursts into flames, with simple tables and chairs lined up, and hot air coming out of the cup on the table.
Soon, the vampire behind him was gone.
An elderly man sits in a rocking chair in front of Latiel.
"... first and foremost, true ancestors"
"Look, I don't need to introduce myself.Sit down. "
Um...
Valpulgius suggests a chair nearby to Latiel.
I didn't feel any hostility at all.
When Latiel sits down, Valpulgius begins making tea.
"Anyway, it's going to be a weird rumor, right?The first true ancestor killed many angels. "
"Eh?"
"Fufu, I know more or less.Here, have some tea. "
Valpulgius handily brews tea and puts the cup in front of Latiel.
He sat back in his chair and held his cup in his hand, telling Latiel that he was still stiff.
"Come on, don't drink.The tea will become warm. "
"Eh, ah, yes... I'll take it"
"Cheek. Bye, cheeks."
I wondered if I should drink it, but Latiel drinks tea... and...
"Ah... delicious"
I see. Fufufu, I bought it from White Pearl, a famous tea region. "
"White Pearl... eh, can't be diplomatic!?
"Of course not. Oops, you're sneaking around."
Black Onyx, who built his own culture and did not interact with any other countries, was struck by the fact that he was trading with White Pearl.
"It's because of the peace of mind. I'll take you home later."
"... you don't suck blood?
"The way of thinking is old. Vampires can live without drinking blood.You can eat meat and vegetables, and blood is just a hobby.I don't want to be with vampires like Hampti Dumpty or anomalous vampires like Zarathustra.Rather, I'm protecting humans and angels from them.... "
When Valpulgius snapped his fingers, the window of the room opened.
Latiel turned his gaze, and there he was.
"Eh... no, what is this?"
"Are you surprised?
…………
Latiel saw... the "town".
Angels, beasts, humans, and... vampires.There were other species.
This house is a house with no creeps in the city.There are many kinds of people outside.
I've seen a lot of human towns before, but this is just like them.
There are shops, there are businesses, there is vibrancy... I don't think it's a vampire country.
It's the same.
"Eh...."
"People, angels, beasts, vampires.One life in this world.I will take as many lives as I can made in the place of Humpty Dumpty, and let them dwell in this land.Of course, I won't force you.There's work, there's entertainment. "
"Nah, why...."
Why would you do that?
Latiel had to ask.
The first true ancestor, Old Blood Valpulgius, is the most powerful vampire.
Wasn't vampires supposed to create an exclusive society and have nothing to do with anyone?
The premise was broken.
"What am I mistaken for?I haven't changed since before.I think all races are equal... well, I don't believe in angels, and I don't believe in Humpty Dumpty and Zarathustra.I fought to protect this country. "
…………
Was Valpulgius a good man...?
Latiel is said to have the sweetest character of the twelve apostles.I believed everything this Valpulgius said.
"Wow, I...."
"Believe it or not, yes.You're free to go home, and you're free not to report this up.But... I won't forgive you if you jeopardize our lives or our peace. "
"Eh...."
Latiel was embarrassed by the seriousness of the killing that had been directed at her for just a moment.
This true ancestor... no, not a vampire.Sometimes there was little information because it was a closed race.I've measured vampire information just by speculation.
But maybe... it's not the angels who are wrong.
Latiel sees the view outside again.
……
"If you're worried, you can check it out."
"... are you sure?
"Hmm. I'm not going to tie you up anyway."
"... um, can I ask you a question before that?
Hmm? What is it?
"Why... do you drink blood until you make people and angels?
"... I'm not talking about Humpty Dumpty."
"Yes"
Latiel noticed that this country was too different from other true ancestral countries.
Why are you the same true ancestors?Produce people, angels, and beasts to seek blood.
"... I can't stop them from doing anything that's distorted.True ancestors have a rule of non-interference.The rules set by the true ancestors are absolutely... there's nothing we can do about it.That's why I protect people and angels as much as I can. "
Valpulgius sighs deeply.
"I don't care about this country, but yeah.Come on, let's go for a walk in town to change our mood.In the meantime, I'll finish your return. "
"Ah, um... maybe my friend is here."
"Hmm? Friends?
"Yes, Mika-chan... Michael."
"Oh, my God. I don't know what a flaming frog is... okay.Let's pick him up. Perhaps you'll end up in Dream Prison.Hey, Audrey. "
"Yes, Master"
Then a man appeared from nowhere.
Gentle man in his twenties.Latiel thinks it's a vampire after all.
"Did you hear what I said?Please pick me up. "
"Yes, sir."
That said, the man disappeared.
"Come on, let's get you some air."
"... yes"
Latiel stood up and looked back at the door knob leading out.
"Um, thank you.I... trust you. "
"Heh. Yeah, yeah, I don't care about that, but... heh."
"Yes, excuse me."
Latiel went out of the house.
"... hmm. I'll be a little gentle."
Valpulgius dropped Latiel off with a bitter smile.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
Latiel was walking around town alone.
Well-maintained roads, lined houses, and shops.And both adults and children are walking happily.
There is no conflict of race here.
Is it because it is the city of those who lived without knowing the world of angels, the world of men, and the world of beasts?
Unlike normal towns, there are high ceilings and walls.Apparently, this is not a town, but a 'house' with walls and ceilings covering every country.Everyone must be like a family.
"... what should I do?"
What happens if I report it to the Angels of St. Aldebaron?
Speaking of angels, vampires cannot be easily dealt with.I don't know what I can do... Latiel doesn't think of vampires as enemies anymore.
"Hah ~..."
Latiel sat on the park bench and looked up at the ceiling.
If you wait like this, Michael will come.Just rendezvous and report back to the Angel Society.
I am on vacation so there is no problem, but Michael will be punished in some way.
"... uhhh.Don't run away like that. "
Vacation has nothing to do with it. I was working with Michael.
You should be punished for what you did on your own ─ ─.
"Nh ─ ─?
Latiel, who had spent so much time thinking, saw.
The ceiling is cracked.
No, no... the crack is getting deeper and deeper.
"Nh, what... what?
Cracks spreading and exploding.
A brick fell on the town.
The inhabitants panic at once.Vampires like Valpulgius' men appeared and began evacuating the inhabitants.
What happened?
"─ ─ Eh, that's a lie..."
Latiel saw it.
Outside the crack, an angel spreading his wings appears.
"Oooh!! Lady!!
"Ah... Mr. Valpulgius"
"What the hell is this... my" dream prison "is broken!?
Valpulgius came with a cane.
Latiel looks up at the sky and sees the impossible.
"... that's not an angel."
There was a girl shaking the blue twin tail and snorting at the sticked candy.
Valpulgius' eyes are murderous.
"─ ─ Please wait.There is no "answer" for you to move. "
"Hmm!?
Tong and ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That alone crippled Valpulgius.
Stay still and kneel.
"Nh, nuuu... cum, you!!
"Ha ha ha. The angel's daughter seems to be motivated... so I thought I'd give her a hand."
"Ah, you... Ku, black angel!?
"Nice to meet you. The elementary school student is Kitoriel... and after that, I'll leave you a stranger."
Gracefully remove your hat and thank you.I even smiled.
Latiel looked up at the sky for a moment and immediately gazed at Kitteriel....
"Eh... that!?
Quittlier had disappeared.
Then the blue twin tail girl started to move and flew towards Latiel.
"Huh? Latiel... nfufu, you're a traitor ~"
"Sa-chan!!Why are you attacking the vampire kingdom?
Huh ~? It's the traitor we've been dealing with.
"Eh...."
"I'm sorry, but are you dead...?Where's Michael?
"I'm not here.What do you mean a traitor!?
"Shut up... just go away!!
Sariel pointed her index finger at Latiel.
"Ice Candy"
Then, a sphere of "ice" was formed at the fingertips in an instant and fired at Latiel.
"'Goshoju'"
Latiel turned to the ground.
Again, in an instant, "Oki" was formed, colliding with the sphere of ice.
The ice broke apart, but there was no scratch on the tree.
"Ugh... there's a junk fish that can only be protected"
"... Sa-chan, don't do this anymore... I'm angry, too.
"Ha, whatever.I'll take care of the traitor!!
Saliel of the Twelve Apostles of the Angel Society "Ice".
Latiel of the Twelve Apostles of the Angel Society "Tree".
The battle between angels began.
