Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

As Noah and Iris finished their… issues, they decided to take a quick bath before going downstairs.

…However, they got caught in the passion and ended up doing it in the bathroom as well.

Arthur and the rest of Noah's subordinates who were already having breakfast downstairs seemed all a bit flustered as they heard their master doing love to their new mistress, however, they felt relieved when they finally were done and walked downstairs…

Iris seemed brighter than ever, however, Noah seemed with the same serious and expressionless face, he was bad at showing how he truly felt at times.

"G-Good morning, Noah-sama…" said Arthur.

"Good… morning." Said Noah as he sat down on his usual seat, while Iris sat down at his side and hugged his arm while rubbing her face on his shoulder.

"Today is… a nice day…." Said Timassa.

"Indeed…" said Noah.

"T-The food is… good…" said Jon.

"Yes, I can see it…" said Noah.

"Master!" said Adamantine.

"…What?" asked Noah.

"Master and Mistress… mated like rabbits!" said Adamantine.

"…" Noah was left speechless.

"W-Well… Yes, fufu… B-But keep that a secret!" said Iris while blushing.

"I-It is… clearly not a secret we all know about it…" said Arthur.

"N-Noah-sama… eerr… will Iris… be your mistress?" asked Jon.

"I was… also wondering the same…" said Timassa.

The environment was too awkward at the moment, and Noah did not know what to do other than to answer as he always does, direct and cold.

"Yes. Iris, from this day on, is my... well, future wife, and the mistress of the family. Make sure to treat her with due respect. Any disrespectful behavior is an insult to me as well, bear that in mind from now on," said Noah, he really didn't mean to sound rude, but he was too serious about it.

"Fufu, don't worry, all of you can treat me as always! After all, you are all my good friends… I am just happy that Noah has accepted my feelings…" said Iris while blushing.

"I can see that he accepted more than that…" said Arthur, as Noah glared at him rather sharply, making him almost jump out of his chair.

"S-Sorry!" said Arthur.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter… I-I never thought that Noah… would be so energetic…" said Iris.

"Iris, it would be better if you could omit such remarks… Anyways, let us start today's plans!" said Noah.

"Plans… Well, Noah-sama, now that we are D-Rank, you said that you were going to see my parents," said Arthur.

"…Right. I had that in mind. Yes." said Noah.

Arthur gave a bitter smile as he imagined that his Master had his mind a bit elsewhere after having so much… intercourse. Although he probably was just thinking about going to a D-Rank Dungeon and farm Cores.

"I-I want to congratulate you two for having… consumed your love, I will make sure to serve both of my Masters from now on," said Timassa politely.

"Oh yeah, me too, sorry for my attitude," sighed Arthur.

"I am… happy…" said Jon.

"Babies!" said Adamantine, as she startled Noah and Iris with a single word!

Noah seemed a bit worried about this…

However, Iris glanced at Noah with a wide smile as her crimson eyes shined brightly…

"Baby…" said Iris.

"…We can discuss that topic for another… time. For now, let us enjoy breakfast," said Noah.

"Sure thing!" said Iris, as everyone seemed to relax after the awkward moment and things went back to the usual atmosphere.

However… Iris was now very… mellow with Noah.

"Here, say 'aaah'!" said Iris, pointing a piece of juicy steak stuck into a fork towards Noah.

"Iris, there is no need for this. I can feed myself…" said Noah.

"B-But this is what couples do!" said Iris.

"Iris, we are not a… conventional couple," said Noah.

"Buh…" sighed Iris, as her crimson eyes glanced at the floor, Noah could not help but sigh.

"(Just how much does she want to ridicule me? …But fine, just this once)" thought Noah, as he opened his mouth a bit, which Iris immediately answered by feeding him the piece of meat.

"T-They are truly… quite the close…" said Arthur.

"I-I am happy for them…" said Timassa.

"Anyways… Have all of you reached D-Rank, right?" asked Noah.

"Yeah, I am D-Rank!" said Arthur.

"Me too. There is one stat that hasn't reached 150, but the others did," said Timassa.

"Hm. D-Rank," said Jon.

"D-Rank?" asked Adamantine.

"Adamantine, D-Rank is when the numbers of your Attribute Panel are 150," said Noah, as he checked her status and found that she had 150 in two of them, which was enough to be D-Rank.

As long as one single stat reached the number benchmark, the Hunter would be qualified to be of that Rank, even if the other Attribute Values numbers were lower than the required number.

Such Rank was made because Hunters usually specialized in one or two attributes, and were not good all-rounders like Noah.

"I am…!" said Adamantine.

"Good girl!" said Iris, petting Adamantine's head, as behind Adamantine's back, a tail made of shadows with a pointed end began to wave like a puppy, Noah could not help but remember Iris who also did this when he showed her affection… Were Iris and Adamantine not so different?

Noah did not want to say that out loud, so he kept such thoughts for himself.

"We should be able to get all of you to 150 in all Attribute Values by going to the next Dungeon, but for now let us spend some time with your parents, just so you can stop annoying me about it," said Noah.

"Yes, thank you! They are very excited to meet you…" said Arthur.

After the breakfast, Noah, and everyone else walked out of their manor and went towards Arthur's parent's manor, as they were greeted by servants in the entrance, most of the servants of Arthur's parents were half-subhuman, who were adopted from orphanages at a young age and educated by the manor's old servants, Timassa was a half-subhuman, which showed itself on the cat-like tail she hides beneath her skirt.

Timassa was bought into the manor from a young age, and since she was a little girl that she was assigned to the shy and little Arthur, accompanying him through his entire life, their bond was obviously very strong, and Arthur often treated her as a part of his family.

Entering the large manor, Arthur led his group through the corridors, reaching a large room where his parents were.

"Oho, so here they are… Noah, right?" asked Arthur's father, a short man of almost the same stature as his son, who had a fat belly and a funny-looking blonde mustache.

"Oh my, Arthur finally brought his friends… It is a pleasure to meet all of you," said Arthur's mother, a beautiful and radiant woman with silky black hair and aquamarine eyes, with a slim and slender figure.

Arthur's father's name was Aran Strongarm, and his mother's name was Bellice Silvermoon, although she gained the Strongarm surname after marrying Aran, so Arthur's entire name was Arthur Strongarm Silvermoon.

"It is a pleasure to meet the parents of my good friend. I am Noah, as you might have guessed. She is Iris, my… fiancée. Then there is Adamantine, and Jon," said Noah.

"Hello, it is nice to meet Arthur's parents," said Iris politely.

"Nice… to meet…. You…" muttered Adamantine, mustering words as hard as she could.

"A pleasure to meet my friend's parents…" said Jon.

Arthur's parents were surprised by their son's friends, who seemed to be very polite, something they did not particularly expect of people that were of a lower social class than them, but it seems that should have expected better from their son's friends.

"You have done a good job in finding such polite and strong friends, Arthur. Please, everyone, come to our side, let us share some teatime, make sure to tell me all the amazing things my son has done! I bet he must be more valiant inside dungeons than he seems outside, right? Fufu," laughed Arthur's mother.

"Indeed, I can't wait to hear my son's amazing prophecies!" said Arthur's father.

Although Arthur was not at all someone that slacked off at battle, he was a supporter, and what he could do in battle is support his allies so monsters could be slain more easily, but he… did not particularly take down any monster by himself.

However, Noah was willing to lie for his friend and subordinate, as he began to tell a bunch of fantastical events that never happened, or that Noah himself did to surprise Arthur's parents…
