Chapter 93: A lingering threat
Chapter 93: A lingering threat
Tetsuya got a room for himself in Yara Household and became a known person that worked closely with Yara Yu.
It seemed like the recent reported thing in Bende City was an important matter as Tetsuya's treatment was rather too much for a normal messenger.
He got a room for himself in Yara Yun's mansion, so it already told people a lot.
Not only that, but luxurious meals and fruits had been going his way. It was after Yara Yun realized she couldn't wholly hide Tetsuya's presence.
After all, a few people had seen him with her daughter's token.
So his presence had to be announced.
People had their own thoughts and by seeing them all, Yara Yun began to treat Tetsuya differently.
She was like a good mother in-law that was too hospitable.
"How has your investigation been?" Yara Yun asked while bullying the roasted meat with her pork.
She sliced it soon with her knife and elegantly put it into her mouth.
On the other hand, Tetsuya also didn't lack in any manners. Sitting straight with clear eyes, he enjoyed every second with the mother in-law, his pork slow and careful.
Both of them were as if still foreign, but Tetsuya had been enjoying this display of manners.
Yara Yun felt the same and they were doing it rather like a game to just show off and see through each other more.
It was understood by both of them and even this dinner was kinda pleasant to them
Tetsuya then replied, "I can sneak into most houses. They don't expect anyone to spy on them from the inside and I also have a good ability to do it."
The son in-law added, "This is an ability from the vampire race."
A vampire race!
They were a race that had been staying under cover for many years and a race that appeared on Tetsuya and Yara Yu's reports for her.
That was why Yara Yun stopped eating and glanced at Tetsuya.
Her expression was that of an older lady questioning someone younger, "..."
Tetsuya was prepared for a long talk. He wouldn't reveal this ability without much thought nor he lacked any self-control before this goddess.
He said, "I have made contact with them. Of course, it's a very close contact." He quickly added after a brief pause, "They are a race that can benefit me, you and our cute Yu."
Tetsuya's explanation was pretty long, but his points calmed down Yara Yun completely.
He even spoke a little about his past, "I was talented I am talented and I believe the top of this world belongs to me." He faintly laughed as Ashley's giggles rang out from inside, "But talent can not bloom without experience. I believe our cute Yu will benefit a lot from battle between Humans and Vampires. I am also benefiting right now as you can see."
There was more, but Yara Yun already knew about it, "You want vampires to get a place for themselves in this world. Since you believe you can control their darkness, the battle with humans will show them the proper way."
It wasn't like Tetsuya believed in their victory.
What Tetsuya believed in was the understanding of the vampire king and the queen.
They would understand the world better if humans from Bende City would show off their strength.
If humans from the nearby city and one of the prodigies from eastern part were enough to stop them and bring 'casualties', then what about the rest of the world?
Their darkness would sooner or later get extinguished by people similar to Red Rose Woman!
Tetsuya was sure of it.
So this battle for vampires would show them something similar to his 'experience event' and Yara Yu would get a new experience and possibly allies that would know about her strength after that.
Because the vampire king should be an understanding person, Tetsuya believed he would quickly ally himself with Yara Yu who was the daughter of the strict Big Mom!
As Tetsuya used the words 'Strict Big Mom', he smiled to himself and looked at the beautiful woman before him.
She had yet to show that side, but they were confined in the house as of now.
"It would be a waste if the battle didn't happen" Yara Yun responded, her eyes slightly narrowed. She understood Tetsuya's points and she was also positive for this battle.
Her belief in Yara Yu was high, but Tetsuya also wouldn't let the vampires and humans die in the moba game anyway.
-
After eating dinner with Big Mom, Tetsuya waited for the night to come.
It was the time where the darkness dominated the most, so he used that for his cover.
He also had the vampire's royal darkness for his use through the vampire rune learned by the moba game.
Though his use was unnatural and Tetsuya found it hard to use wings, Tetsuya still could blend with the shadow and even pass through it to hide his presence.
It was something similar to the teleport ability Evelyn had used before.
In his room, Tetsuya glanced at the mirror, "It's time to go," He said and the darkness began to engulf him whole.
The floor below him deepened and turned into black hole. Wings from the vampire race stretched behind and revealed its dark outline
Those wings folded and Tetsuya began to blend with the darkness to scout another noble house directly living in Yara Household.
Big Mom had a lot of wealth and territories. Her land was on the most nourishing soil and anyone would feel an urge to train and build one's strength here.
It was not only an effect from the noble status, but nourished soil truly had means to help others with their runes.
Tetsuya felt this by moving through the shadows, "Wealth At some point, we will need to become enemies of the whole race and take a part of their land for our moba board."
"Yes, that's inevitable" Ashley commented, her eyes closed.
The game master duo continued to move between various households. They were all here to leverage Yara Yun's wealth, but they had proved their worth and loyalty already.
Nonetheless, all had to be checked as someone tried to hurt the master of eastern part.
Thera Chase's household and people were checked first, but no one looked suspicious in Tetsuya's eyes.
They were all questioning where their master disappeared, but this revelation had to be postponed for a while.
Today was a little different.
Tetsuya began to feel something with his demonic bloodline.
Even Ashley's soul trembled with a killing intent.
She wanted to get rid of this feeling instantly, "I hate it It's as if my bloodline forces me to become someone else"
Tetsuya shared this view, "But both you and me haven't lost ourselves in this yet. It might be because we are far from the demon"
If this influence was that deep, then those demons were indeed weird.
They had natural enmity between each other and then the world! It wasn't only the sanctuary that wanted them gone, but Tetsuya knew that the Red Rose Woman's group was one of the strongest.
And yet those demons had this inward desire to dominate each other and enslave others.
"Is thera a demon inside or someone got controlled by a demon? We should check first" It was hard to tell whether the other demon noticed them.
That was why Ashley told Tetsuya that they should go forward and check the situation.
The duo entered the mansion easily and no problems arose when they headed down the basement.
This feeling was coming off from below and Tetsuya soon commented on that, "There is something that triggers our bloodline. If I had to guess, then those flowers must be the reason."
Tetsuya's guess turned out to be right a few rooms later.
In this particular room, Tetsuya could see a lot of flower pots scattered around the beds. On those beds, women were sleeping peacefully, but their sleep was certainly forced by someone.
Because even though they were in deep slumber, their skin kept getting worse as a purple streak, that was coming from their right wrist, sucked off something from them.
This purple streak was connected to the flowers, "Lust?" Tetsuya questioned himself. He couldn't tell what was behind that purple streak, but if he had to guess, then he would go for the lust.
It was the only thing that connected to the aphrodisiac flower.
However, vitality of women also had to be absorbed along the way as lust shouldn't make their skin look like that.
"Lust.. and more," A sudden charming voice suddenly rang out. It was a woman who sounded so seductive she could pull heartstrings and make people horny with her voice alone.
But for Tetsuya, she just made him clench his fist tightly.
He couldn't see her yet, but Tetsuya was sure he would feel like punching her.
