The time goes back to before the start of the third tier battle.
　The place was the Link Room.

　The [Vampire Queen] Carmilla and the others under her command had gathered there.
　In other words, it was me and the pigs(,).

''The ruffians who are stepping into our realm tonight are no ordinary adventurers. Even if they are not 【Brave Men】, their ability can be conveyed if we say that they can defeat a vampire (us) with a single rider.

　As expected of a vampire, no one is frightened by those words.

Therefore, I, myself, will dangle a bait on the tip of your nose.

　Twitching, Hagenty responded. Clearly excited and fidgety.

'I will reward you for your activities.

'Hi-hooo!'

　Hagenty jumps up and down like a child.
　The others also seem unable to control their agitation, although they are trying to try to be calm.

''In the unlikely event that there is someone to force [the brave] to leave.......well, to the extent that we don't deviate from the relationship between a boss and a subordinate, I'll respond to any request.

　The rink room buzzed.
　Thang, I sounded with the tip of my shoe and it immediately quieted down.

''Oh, sister.......no, Carmilla-sama. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for you to co-suck?

　The place shook again.

　Co-sucking.
　This directly refers to the act of vampires sucking each other's blood.

　In the past, vampires did not attack people because they liked the taste.
　It was just that they were 'delicious' prey in a different way because they were the most numerous and their individual strength was weak, yet they were richer in magical power than other animals.

　If it was something that could be smoked, it would have been smoked from a demon or a brave man. It's because they would have tasted a special magic power.
　And speaking of that, it doesn't matter if they are of the same species. It is said to be a species that surpasses humans, a vampire rich in magical power.

　But homologue hunting is very difficult compared to humans, or the sense of avoidance due to the same species, some blood groups were prohibited to maintain order, and so on, which is why it was rarely done.
　But what is good is good. It must be delicious.

　And someone somewhere, somehow, tried it. Sucking at the same time, that is.
　Vampires give supreme pleasure to their victims.
　It feels good to be sucked.

　And those who eat good food also get a sense of happiness.
　When vampires suck each other, they get those things from each other at the same time.

　So a crazy sense of euphoria and satisfaction takes over the brain's marrow.
　Hagenty asks if they can do that.

'You think my fangs are going to be matched by a brave man?'

"!　I know, I know...!　And I'm sorry, Lady Carmilla!

　If I had defeated [Brave], I wouldn't mind giving him that much of a reward, but I didn't want to put any blood other than Reme's in my mouth.
　However, before giving a reward, it would not be good to just deny what my subordinate wants.

But yes, if you say you want it, then I will give you blood.

　Hagenty dropped to his knees. He wiped the drool off his face before continuing.

'Kucha........too amazing.......and by the way, not directly......of course not. Then let me lick the blood that is dripped on that leg of yours....

　Do you really think she's going to be okay?　
　And while I'm a little nervous about it, it's not so much a donkey as a matter of fact.

　There are times when my blood-sucking urge is so great that I say embarrassing things to Reme, too.
　For a vampire, bloodlust for a desirable partner is a tremendous thing.

　In this girl's case, though, the part of her that reflects her s*xual preference there and has no hesitation in hitting her partner is a bit of a thing.
　Considering the person in question's excellence, I guess it's acceptable. Eh.

''Let's think about it at that time when we have defeated [the brave man].

''~~~~!

　Hagenty's body trembles in anticipation.

''Hmph, hmph, hmph!　Thank you, Lady Carmilla!　I and these men will go to victory over the pride of being a vampire!

　In response, the other pigs also begin to dribble out their desires.

''You can get blood as a [brave]... what kind of reward will I get if I'm another adventurer?'' ''I'll be... a chair.'' ''Then I'll be a footstool.'' ...!　You, that's a-ha! 'Second-rate in seeking physical contact I'll have the eyes under the mask to stare at me...!　That hand--!

　We all can't help it, but this is not how all vampires are.
　After an incident at work in the past and one that saved me from Leme-san, I developed an unwavering dislike for men other than him, so I took a somewhat strict approach to training my subordinates.

　As a result, I found myself in this situation.
　Except for Hagenty, but other female vampires are normal..........

　I feel like I'm getting hot glances and enraptured eyes and such, but it's normal.
　Their morale was high and there were no problems with leadership, so I decided not to worry about it.

''Come on, go.''

　Sending my men off, I also head to the house of night where I myself will be waiting for the enemy.

　◇

　Is it an illusion that the movements of the 【Vampires】 all of you somehow feel better than usual?
　It's like they're filled with motivation.

　Nevertheless, the adventurers are all fierce people who are not easy to deal with.
　Take Skaha's party, for example.

　Theo-san, a string-dealing magician, entangles the enemies with a string that is released from a ring-type magic tool that fits on his ten fingers, and then nearly shreds them to pieces.
　However, that 【Vampire】 almost turned his own body into mist and escaped from the thread.

　【Faceless Archer】 Suri-san's 【Speed of God】 pierced multiple vital points, and 【Distant Blade Swordsman】 Hamill's 【Flying Slash】 with his sword-type magic tool cut the enemy in half, but it immediately regenerated and started moving.

　While 【Fast Lightning Hero】 Skaha-san burned the swarm of bats flying in the air with a lightning strike, she stabbed the holy sword of lightning into the chest of the approaching 【Vampire】 and sliced through the part where the magic organ of the electric shocked opponent was located.

　The enemy that was hit by it did not regenerate, but turned into magical particles and left the scene.

''A vampire's regeneration is just a powerful 'healing' if you put it that way!　As long as we crush the head and the magic organ at the same time, that's all we need!

　If the head is left behind, the magic power flowing through the body from the magic organ and the magic power already assembled as magic might allow it to survive.
　Even if the head is crushed, the pre-formed magic might still be activated and regeneration might begin.

　But if both of them are crushed at the same time, as expected, there's no more to be done.
　What Skaha-san is saying is correct, but with the physical abilities of a vampire, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.

　There are three positions (jobs) unique to vampires.
　A person who specializes in the ability to manipulate blood. Carmilla and Hagenty are these.
　A person who specializes in the ability to change the body.
　A person who specializes in the ability to regenerate.

　The method of defeating it that Skaha-san mentioned also worked well the last time, but it wouldn't work like this every time.
　There are those who use the ability to change their physical body to shift the position of their magical organs.

　The fact that even Suri-san, who has a hundred shots, has not yet been able to drop the enemy shows how troublesome it is.
　There were two kinds of reactions from the companions who heard Mr. Skaha's voice.

　One is the one who moves to put it into practice.
　The other........those who do things their way.

''Hahaha!''

　【Breaking Rock Fist Fighters】 Amelia-san's fist was avoided with atomization, 【Vampire】.
　How the huge tree behind it was - snapped off.

　The big tree fell down while making a gurgling sound.

''Don't run away, vampire!

　He seems to be enjoying himself very much and chasing his enemies around. The occasional bat that approaches him is squeezed and popped. He doesn't seem bothered by the fact that even if he gets bitten a little, he'll still be able to give it a little pop, pop, pop, pop. It's bold.

　
　There is no mistake, the secret is in the black glove that wraps her right hand.

　This one is also a magic tool, and its ability is 'Shock Absorption and Release'.

　However, it can only absorb the damage that it was supposed to do.
　You can't absorb the impact that comes back to your fist.

　Therefore, it's not as useful as the impression it gives from its appearance.
　The way to use it is to build up a steady stream of shocks every day without breaking your fist, and then release them with a strategy.
　In a way, it might be the same as my horns. It's like using my magic savings in battle.

　It's a shock savings for punches.
　Breaking a large tree must have consumed a significant amount of energy, but Amelia-san doesn't seem bothered by it.
　It's a good thing that Helu was able to pull off Amelia's "big release" with her bare hands.

　Hagenty-san, who seemed to be about to have her spine broken, almost turned into mist and escaped.
　The abilities that aren't expressed as 【Position (Job)】 can also be used.
　However, it seems that he couldn't get a large distance from them, and they materialized right beside him.

'Oh, you're so dexterous.'

"'Descendants of the Slaughter Dragon'...

　Hagenty-san says as if to spit out, and Helu-san cowers her shoulders.
　''The Descendants of the Slaughter Dragon'' is one of the many aliases, but it's not because of her achievements, but because of her abilities.

　Everyone knows that she is the descendant of the Demon King Slayer, but when it comes to those who know which Demon King specifically, the number decreases.
　The demon king was said to be half dragon and half demon.

　Helu's ancestors, who were subjected to return blood when they defeated him, had acquired the ability to be nearly immortal.
　It's a common legend, but Helu's body is too amazing to be called a lie.

　The same goes for his durability, but his natural healing power has reached the realm of 'regeneration'.
　The lost blood does not return, but the wound was already sealed.

'What? You're not going to say you're cheating, are you?　Or do you think regeneration is only for vampires?

No, I just thought it would be hard to smoke.

I love the bluster.

　Soooo, Hagenty inhaled deeply and let it out quietly.
　By that time, blood was clinging to her right arm, and several cone-shaped blood spears were deployed around her.

''I will pierce and strike.''

Come on.

　The battle between the two of them was not going to end yet.

'Huh ... fast, strong, beautiful ... vampires are so hard to do.

　Blurting out like that, [Roaring Gunner] Emrine-san is moving with a huge gun with no difficulty.
　The shadow of the 【Vampire】 looming behind it.

''Taking advantage of the night darkness and fog to attack........how is that not too much?''

　Emrine intercepted it without turning around.
　By carrying the cannon on her shoulder, she immediately points the muzzle of the gun backwards and presses the trigger as it turns backwards (,).

　A roar.

　The man who was blown off from the waist up left without regenerating.
　The magic bullets continued to advance after that and disappeared deep into the forest.

''That's a lot of power.''

　The voice of another [vampire] attacking her.

''Huh, hi.''

　Mr. Emrine found himself surrounded.

"But there is only one gun. It can't fire in all directions at once.

That's good. How did you know that was a genius?

....

　They all leapt at once, but most of them couldn't even touch her.

'Hooray,'

　I thought I heard a clang, and from the center of the cannon - the handle grew out of the center of the cannon (,,,,,,).
　To put it bluntly, the cannon became - in an instant - a mallet.

　Emrine-san swings the mallet while spinning around in a circle.
　【Vampires】 and the others are blown away.

''Oh, there are some kids who dodged it.

　The minimum information about the adventurers was shared with the demons in the Demon King's army.
　Whether they could actually handle it or not is another matter, but it seems that some of them were able to handle it.

　Those who avoided it by ducking through or atomizing it are closing in on her.

''Then, dokko.''

　In a mallet state, I pull the trigger.
　A magic bullet is fired and two [vampires] fly off in a thousand pieces, and the last one is also flung off by a blow of the mallet using the recoil.

　The only one left is Emrine, who spins around on the recoil and puts the mallet on the ground with a tired look.
　There was a streak of wound on his cheek, as if it had been torn by a claw.
　As can be seen from the fact that she didn't move slightly with the first bombardment, she's a [Gunner], she's also skilled at killing the impact.
　But every once in a while I would let the shock wash over me.

Well, I worked, I worked. I worked so hard.

　He nodded with a satisfied look on his face.

''........nah, nah. I'd like to throw myself into more madness~

　【The Thousand Change Summoner】 Perhaps feeling Margrette-san's gaze, Emrine-san stretched her back.

　Such as Margrette-san is--.
　Her costume had changed from the beginning.

　Now she is wearing something like this.........................a monastic uniform.
　It's a fairly rare magic tool, it has resistance to black magic and has the effect of playing an unexpected blow.
　Another one, a golden cross.

''You are not allowed to sip the blood of a beautiful woman in favor of it.

　This is also a magical tool, and is said to have the effect of exorcising demons.
　In reality, it disrupts the flow of magic, and in vampire terms, it's the worst compatible item that interferes with all of the blood manipulation, body changes, and regeneration abilities.

　She seems to have a business acumen, and although she started out with the help of her family's trade association, she soon became successful enough to pay back the money with interest.
　What she did with the money she earned in this way was to collect magic tools.

　All of the magic tools that the members of the Helvall Party had were acquired by Margrette-san, except for Hel's magic sword.
　Even wealth is one weapon. From the audience's point of view, as long as it's interesting, that's all that matters.

　Another special thing about her is her ability as a 【Summoner】.

　Originally, just like my ring, 【Summoner】 is the one who makes a contract with someone and excels at the art of summoning it.
　But somehow she can also make a contract with things that have no will.

　With each attack, she summons what she needs at that moment into her possession.
　By the way, in the case of the costumes, she will be completely naked once she's wearing them, as they are layered.

　Of course, the attack videos do a good job of keeping the important parts of the game out of sight just in time, but the dungeon side of the game can be seen. And also the people who edit it.
　She didn't seem to care about that part, and it was an imposing one.

　In case you're wondering, I didn't see it well, and it was hidden by the fog to begin with. 'Yeah.

''So, you'll take care of it, please?　Nick?

　Ms. Nick is the name of the sub-bear she is contracted to work with.
　Yes, creatures can be summoned by living beings.

　Nick-san, who is said to normally be the master of the forest, walks on two legs and swings her claws down to the 【Vampire】.
　The 【Vampire】, whose abilities were greatly reduced because of the cross, left without a trace.

　Writing it like this, it seems as if the adventurers are overwhelmed, and in fact, no one has left yet, but the adventurers' side is definitely taking damage as well.

　Hel-san and Amelia-san are just ignoring the damage and continuing to fight, and Emrine-san and Margrethe-san, who are handling the 【Vampires】 well, have not been able to fully deal with the sub-beast of the bat, and have been sucked into blood many times.

　The only ones who could be said to be unharmed were the 【Brave Men】 other than Helu-san, 【Samurai】 Masamune-san, and the rest were only 【Suri-san, the Faceless Archer】.

　Although there were people leaving at a tremendous rate, the 'grinding' was effective.

''Hahaha, unlike demons that would pop and disappear with a little peck, when it comes to the 【Vampires】 of the Demon King's Castle, it's worth beating them!　I love it!

　And it's working.

　Besides, the "preparation" has already been done, and the plan is still in progress.
　The adventurers are still unaware of the threat of the new third layer, the realm of vampires and their "household".
