The day after the vampire subjugation, Romulus Castle.
Many nobles, ministers, and knights had gathered in the audience chamber.

King Zenon sat on the throne, a mild smile on his face.
Where his gaze fell, three girls were on their knees.
Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha.

“Charlotte, Olivia, Natasha. Your service in this vampire subjugation was admirable.”

In a solemn air, King Zenon’s voice rang out.

“Thanks to you, peace has returned to the town of Romulus. On behalf of the country, I convey our gratitude.”

He rose from the throne and walked up to the three of them.

“You did well, Charlotte. Olivia and Natasha, I thank you for helping my daughter as well.”

“Father…” Continue reading →

Sunlight peeked over the horizon.
Scattered by the light, dust in the air began to glitter.

The town lit by the morning glow had become a different place in a single night.
Cobblestones crumbled to ruin by the aftershock of the fight.
The outer wall of Romulus Academy was deeply gouged by annihilation magic.

And Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha, covered in wounds, battered.
All three sat limp on the ground.

The early-morning town was still. House doors opened one after another.
With sunrise the ban on going out at night was lifted, and the citizens of Romulus came outside. Continue reading →

“Mm. That’s enough!”

Lady Ulrika had appeared all of a sudden.
She was holding Bram’s Demon Claw at bay with one hand, easily.

“Lottie! Livi! Sasha! All three of you did well!!”

Lady Ulrika turned and smiled at them.

“Leave the rest to me…”

Then she turned a sharp gaze on Bram.
In those eyes was a quiet, deep killing intent.

“…What are you?” Continue reading →

“It can’t be helped… I’ll show you true terror…”

Parting the black mist, Bram slowly appeared.

“Wha—what is that form!?”

Gleaming bright-red eyes.
Hair dyed an uncanny white.
His skin, turned blue-pale, was covered on the surface with blackish veins.

A Bram like a different person stood there.

“No—his arm has regenerated!”

“Tremendous mana! Lady Charlotte, Livi, behind me!”

“Hihihih… this is a vampire’s final secret art… True Ancestor Return…” Continue reading →

“Vampire! Prepare yourself!!”

Charlotte leveled her staff at Bram.
Bram, for his part, slowly got up and recovered his stance.

“Hihihih! You’re the ones who should prepare!!”

Changed to black mist, Bram melted thickly into the night dark.
Behind the wary Charlotte, black mist began to swirl.

“A royal life, I’ll take it!”

Bram took physical form and lunged at Charlotte.
Natasha noticed first and drew her sword in a flash.

“I won’t let you!” Continue reading →

The night of the royal capital Romulus is dark.
Moonlight is hidden by clouds; the town is wrapped in pitch-black dark.

By King Zenon’s order, a ban on going out at night.
Because of it, not a single person was walking about.

In the midst of that, a figure moved furtively along a dim street.
It seemed to be a girl student of Romulus Academy.
With suspicious motions she slipped quickly from one building’s shadow to the next.

The figure came out onto the avenue in front of Romulus Academy.
There, she suddenly stopped.

“You there…”

“Eh…”

“You there, miss… a moment, if you would?”

A man’s voice came from the dark of a building’s shadow. Continue reading →

The second day after the vampire incident.
This was the underground training ground of Romulus Castle.

“Mm! You’re all here!!”

Gathered were Lady Ulrika, Olivia, Charlotte, and Natasha—the four of them.
And King Zenon.
Olivia, Charlotte, and Natasha were in light clothes that looked easy to move in.

“Then I order you three again. Swiftly subjugate the vampires lurking in the castle town!”

“””Yes!”””

“However, I cannot leave it to you as you are now! You will acquire the strength to fight vampires. Today’s special training is for that!!”

“””Yes!!”””

King Zenon’s voice was full of spirit.
Charlotte shrugged and slowly raised a hand. Continue reading →

“Lady Ulrika is a vampire? It can’t be…”

“That’s—I can’t believe it…”

Olivia and Natasha, having heard the circumstances from King Zenon.
Both of them had frozen, mouths open, from sheer surprise.
Lady Ulrika, for her part, sat in a chair kicking her legs, at her usual pace.

“I hadn’t told you either, Livi? I am the True Ancestor of vampires.”

“”True Ancestor…””

“Those are things we’d like to be told sooner.”

“Mm. I’ll be careful from now on!”

Lady Ulrika answered brightly, whether she understood or not.
King Zenon, exasperated, still brought the talk back to the vampire matter.

“Now, Ulrika. There are a few things I want to ask.”

“Hmm. What might they be?”

“First: are there other vampires in the castle?”

“I don’t sense a presence. There aren’t any now.”

“Then what about the castle town? Can you tell?” Continue reading →

“There’s one in this room too, you know?”

At Lady Ulrika’s word, the air in the study froze at once.
In the rising tension, a cute voice burst in from outside the door.

“You two! Please wait~”

“Wait, Livi, don’t leave me behind!”

Olivia and Natasha.
The two of them hurried into the study. Sensing the heavy air, they fell quiet at once.

“Ah… sorry…”

“Never mind. You two stay still.”

King Zenon’s words carried a force that brooked no argument.

“Back to the matter… Ulrika. Is it a fact that there is a vampire in this room?”

“Mm. No mistake!”

“In other words, I, Rudolf, Headmaster Neumann, Charlotte. One of we four is a vampire. Is that it?” Continue reading →

“”Ulrika!?””

Lady Ulrika had appeared all of a sudden.
King Zenon and Rudolf held their heads, at a loss.

“Hihihiii~!?”

And Headmaster Neumann was prostrating himself at Lady Ulrika’s feet.
Her mere appearance was chaos.

“Ulrika. Did you need something?”

“Mm! School starts tomorrow, so I thought I’d show you the bag I’m taking…”

Bag in one hand, Lady Ulrika spun around.
Her skirt lifted lightly. A terribly cute gesture.

“You seem to be in the middle of something?”

“Ulrika! Wait, Ulrika!!”

This time a cute voice burst in from outside the door.
A flustered Charlotte had come chasing Lady Ulrika. Continue reading →
