"Long time no see, Algard"

"Thank you for taking the time to get to the border.... No, thank you, Your Majesty"

"Please don't, because I'm visiting on a personal matter this time. I don't care if you're freakishly awed."

In the first place, he said he wasn't even used to calling me Algard.

Algardo Bona Palettia. A former fiancée of mine, the prince who turned himself into a vampire and was abandoned and sent to the border for the crime of attempted seizure of the throne.

My relationship with my sister-in-law right now is a complicated one, but I don't feel pangs from Algardo. I find myself relieved by Algard's attitude, and I'm glad.

"Then let Her Majesty the Queen imitate it and, to some extent, let it shatter.... Again, it's been a long time since Raini's been here, it's been quite splendid"

"Dear Algard, it's good to see you like this. Looking good, above all."

"The glory of Count Cyan has also reached the border with news. From the civilian to the baroness and the countess to Her Majesty's dedicated maid, your title is quite busy."

"... about half because of Master Algard, right?

"That's a painful point. Well, let's just say that's all we have to talk about."

Watching Algardo laugh furiously against Raini swelling his cheeks is going to loosen his cheeks. I used to interact with them in letters, but it's been a really long time since I've seen them face to face like this.

Now he really looks alive from the bottom of his heart. He was obstinate among the various lumps and rubs, but he was so natural that he wanted to ask if such a thing was true.

As I turned my gaze to Algard that way, I felt a sharp gaze and got to myself just a little bit. That gaze came from the girl who was beside Algard.

That girl, who has been trying to hide in the shadows of Algard, is turning a gaze of alertness to me and Raini. And on her head were wolf ears of the same color as gray hair, and tails of the same color swayed loosely.

That characteristic immediately occurred to me. She must be the displaced person from the Kingdom of Cambus that Algard was raising in his report.

"... she's from the Kingdom of Cambus?

"Ah. Let me introduce you, the acrylic this child has been exiled from the Kingdom of Cambus. Acrylic, say hello."

"... Hi"

The girl who was prompted to say hello to Algardo, Acrylic, said that all the way around and hid on Algardo's back as it was. Still looking slightly at me and Raini as though they were intimidating me.

Pinned ears and tails go hand in hand, and I got in trouble for what kind of reaction to take with the vigilant animal itself.

When I was in trouble, Raini walked to Algardo, no, towards the acrylic. After his gaze, Raini smiles and speaks to the acrylic.

"Nice to meet you, I say Raini"

"…… yes"

"You don't have to be so vigilant, we won't do anything to Master Algard. So I'd appreciate it if you could get along. I'm a vampire, just like Algard."

Vampires, when asked, Acrylic narrowed his eyes and looked at Raini. That was somewhere more of a surprise look than a vigilance.

Ride yourself out just a little bit and the acrylic will snort as you face Raini and smell it.

"... you smell close to Al. I didn't lie."

"Huh? Really?... Oh, maybe it's because Master Algard's demon stone was originally my demon stone"

"... hmm"

From an astonishing look to another glaring look, Acrylic glared at Raini. I smile like Raini was bewildered by the acrylic that showed more hostility than earlier.

"... me, you, dislike"

"Huh!?"

"... stay away from Al"

"Here, acrylic. Stop."

Raini raised her pity at the declaration that she suddenly hated it. I'll slap Acrylic in the head like Algard blames me for seeing that.

Acrylics slapped on the head did not hide dissatisfaction and seemed to reinforce his ability to hug Algard to stand his nails.

It kind of makes me feel like I've seen something smiling and my gaze at you both softens.

"I'm sorry. As you can see, you are alert and familiar..."

"No, I don't mind. You've been very close to me."

"Well, yeah.... the same goes for me. I don't mean to offend you. Take a good look."

What Algard says with a bitter smile is also kind of fresh and crazy. When I zeroed my laughter, Algardo circled his eyes.

"... I didn't know the day would come when you'd laugh"

"Pfft, I'm sorry.... I don't know, don't you get used to it?

"... if it's hard to call, Al's fine, sister-in-law? I'm not in the right position to be associated with you anymore, but I'm your sister-in-law and brother. Then we'll talk at the right distance."

"Okay. But don't do it on my sister-in-law. Al...... also in Ufi"

"... ok, Uffi"

They seemed to be hand searching for a sense of distance from each other, and I finally felt calm. Then, now the acrylic was roaring at me small.

As I gazed straight at her with the acrylic, I gradually hid on Al's back like the acrylic was barometric.... Just a little bit, you'll have trouble coping.

"I'm sorry. I'm not used to it yet..."

"You sound like a pet."

"Not a pet"

Pet, in response to the word, acrylic pointed me out with a pointy voice.

"... excuse me. Acrylic, my name is Ufiria Fez Palettia. I swear I will never harm you, so it would be helpful if you didn't hate me too much."

With that said, I'll try to offer my hand toward the acrylic. Acrylic looks at me like he's staring at me, and he snorts like he's just trying to get himself out and smell me out of my hand.

Then he looked at my face jiggly, but for some reason now he lay down his wolf ears flat and hid behind Al's back.

"... sorry"

"No, I don't care."

Al said with a bitter smile, but I don't really care. I'd like to get along with acrylics, but it's going to take some time, so let's decide to leave now.

"So why did you suddenly say it was an inspection? Is something wrong?

"Yes.... for once, I'll check just in case. Al, have you vampired anyone since you've been here?

"... no, I swear. That's not happening. Let Clive testify if you have to.

"No, because it was just a confirmation. … Anis ran into a strange demon in Filwach the other day."

"My sister? What the hell is a weird demon?

Al asks me with a harsh look on his face. I nodded one before answering.

"It's a monster the size of a strange mountain, with multiple demons mixed together."

"... My sister heard you're now the administrator of a new city? Why did you run into something like that again? Besides, why Filwach?

"Well, I happen to be on vacation..."

"... does that guy have to make a problem every time he goes out?

Al broke his rugged look and turned it into a half-eyed look and whined. Nothing. I don't think you're causing problems because you want to get anise too......

Still, it doesn't change anything bad for the heart, so I hit Annis eight times though. I worried about it, so I want you to take it spoiled for a little while.

"I'll get back to you. The demon possessed vampire properties. Charm, immortality, and regenerative ability…"

"Vampire traits on such a stupid big demon?... Too much trouble, you're lucky to have a sister on the ground."

Al puts his arms together and gives him a look that seems difficult. Al, who became a vampire himself, will know by staining himself with the demonic threats that Anis encountered.

"So, you suspect me?

"No. Actually, at that time, there was another demon, and it turned out to be a triplet-like situation."

"Triplets?"

"Yes, the demon was something close to a subracial demon with a bull-like horn... Anis said that people only looked more like demons than demons"

When I said that much, Al put his hand on his jaw to narrow his eyes and think about something.

"... I heard about acrylics in the letter, so I heard about Anis and came pin. I thought maybe the Cambus kingdom was involved."

"... that the only demon the person can see is from the Kingdom of Cambus?

"I think it's likely"

"... hey"

When I was discussing it with Al, it was the acrylic that was hiding behind Al who called me to interrupt.

Instead of hiding on my back, the acrylic eyes that came out in front of me were seriously colored.

"What's wrong with that demon?

"I grieved politely. The odd demon couldn't even leave a body, but he said demons like people entrusted him with demon stones, which means he treats them differently than any other demon..."

"... entrusted? Did you entrust the demon stone to him?

"Yes, that's how I hear"

"... to Al's sister?

Acrylic has narrowed his eyes and listened with a slightly hostile, offensive voice.... Hi, you don't seem to have a very good impression of Anis.

"No, that's when the accompanying knight fought and finally offered the demon stone to the knight."

"... Hmm, it is"

It was acrylic looking at me jizzily to see if it was true to hear my words, but I nodded as I was convinced and pulled out my shoulder strength.

"Maybe it's Taurus."

"... Taurus?

"We, like Ricant, are from a family with different ancestors. Horns like cows are proof of that."

"Same as Ricant? So you mean the clan that made out with the demons?

I asked Acrylic to confirm. Acrylic nodded honestly to Al's question.

"Then it is likely that he was a resident of the Kingdom of Cambus..."

"Well, I hear that Taurus and the thoughtful man seemed to abhor the alien demons that appeared at the same time. Do you have any idea what's going on there?

Asking questions about acrylics, acrylics had a dark look on their face for some reason. I held my arms tight to shrink myself, and I leaned down.

Al seems worried about that reaction. He has his hands on the acrylic shoulder. Al's support also calmed down the acrylic, and he answered by pulling out the strength of his stretched body.

"... maybe, I know. I think he made us kill him.
