72-Four and one.





"There we go. Here's the third one.

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.
 I'm not sure what to make of this.

 The maid was helpless and fell to her knees.
 There were three corpses in a pool of blood.

I'm not sure what's going on here. Will Virtue and Alf be okay?

 Rene's fears.
 If only small fry come to your place, it means that the remaining two are being given the power.
 While Virtue is not worried, Alf may be too much for her.

 In order to create a pincer movement as quickly as possible, Raine increased her walking speed.


I'm not going to let you through here! I'm not letting you through here!

"It's ....... It's a fake.

 The fourth one.
 This one isn't a pure vampire either.
 This maid doesn't have any weapons and doesn't seem to understand anything about fighting.

 If it were a normal human being, it would be able to crush her with the power it has gained from being a dependent.
 But that's just for ordinary people.
 It was nothing but arrogance in front of those who had acquired the ability like Raine and the others.

If you don't want to end up like these three, tell me where your master is.

"Three of them? What ......?

 The maid put her hand over her mouth when she saw the three corpses that Raine had already killed.
 Apparently, she really doesn't know how to fight.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 If you think about it, the maid has such good looks that it's quite understandable.
 Renee, who was once given a bad experience by a nobleman, unconsciously drew her sword.

I'll kill you if you don't tell me soon. There are plenty of people who can take your place, so I think it would be wise to speak up.

"I will not give in!

Oh, yeah. Then I'll torture you. I'm going to crush your fingers one by one. They're all jammed with nerves, so it'll hurt. I wonder how many fingers she'll give up on?

"Heee!

 The maid's face turns pale as she imagines what Raine said.
 That's a pretty funny reaction.
 I thought about playing a little more, but as I said earlier, I don't have much time.

 Feeling a little regretful, she began to prepare for a sure kill.

"See you later.

"Ah!

 The maid bared her claws and fangs and charged, as if she had made up her mind.
 Unlike a pure vampire, a mimic has no problem with bites.
 Even a clawed bite would be far from fatal.

 Plus, they're fast enough to make you yawn.
 The only time I enjoyed it was when I was teasing it.

"That's the fourth one.

 The maid's blood stained the sword she wielded mercilessly red.
 This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

"...... intruder. I finally found you.

"Huh, ...... another one of those fakes--or people?

 I'm wiping the blood from my face.
 A man came in, breathing hard, wiping sweat from his face.

 He wasn't wearing a maid's uniform and he wasn't a woman.
 He's not even a vampire.
 He's a human just like me.

"You're human, aren't you? Why are you here?

"Well... More importantly...


Sir, Mr. Richt! Are you alright?

 A maid's voice came from behind her.
 When Raine turned around in a panic, she saw the maids covered in blood standing there as if nothing had happened.

 Not just one, but four.
 Not one, but four maids, all of whom he was sure he had killed, had come back to life in perfect condition.
 As far as Renee knew, vampires did not have this ability.

 So the only person she can think of is the man in front of her.
 The man called Richt.

"Maid. You need to get out of here. Get to Dorothy or Rose quickly.

But, sir!

I'll be fine.

....... - Yes, sir! Good luck!



 And with that, the maids pattered away from the front line.
 A decision based on trust in Richt.
 There was no more hesitation.

Are you brave, or do you just not want me to see you get killed?

"Both, I guess.

 Neither." He didn't take advantage of Raine's cheap provocation.
 Richt drew the sword he had brought with him.
