Chapter 047 – Vampire

Let us turn back the clock a little bit.

“Lute-kun are you okay? Should I slow down a bit?”

“I… I’m okay, I can still keep going.”

We left ojou-sama to hold them back and cut through the forest.

My current magic power is at about a third left.

Even though Snow used magic while carrying the madam in her arms, I dont feel her magic power weakening.

This is the difference that having talent in magic makes..

The madam let out a worried sigh at us.

“If this choker could be removed, I could also run with my own legs.”

“Dont be concerned, besides, we will be out of the forest soon.”

Just like I said, we were finally out of the forest.

Jumping down from this vertical cliff, at the rendezvous point was a wagon stationed there.

Yos.h.i.+, just as we planned!

Inside the wagon, Meiya came to meet us.

“Welcome back Lute-sama! It seems you were able to rescue your benefactor safely.”

“Meiya, I’ll leave it to you. Snow come help her. Right now we are in the middle of the operation, so will you two please cooperate?”

“Muu, I understand.”

My warning was to Snow in particular.

She pouted at my warning.

While I let out a sigh, the coachman whip the horse.

There was no reason to stay in this place forever.

Inside the wagon, Meiya started a conversation with the madam.

“Nice to meet you madam, I am Lute-kun’s first pupil Meiya Dragoon.”

“That’s very polite of you, I’m Seras Gate Vlad. I thank you for your a.s.sistance. Meiya — why is that genius magic tool developer is in the demon continent?”

“Everything is according to Lute-sama’s will..”

“Is Meiya-san also Lute’s fiancée?”

“En… Engaged!? no, no, such dreadness! however if such thing was proposed could I possibly refuse? Rather, I don’t have any reason to refuse!”

Meiya’s maiden face redden, and she fumbled around with her fingers.

No, enough with such talk, i wish you would start preparing to unfasten that magic prevention choker.

“Muu~~~ that’s wrong! This person is not Lute-kun fiancee! Don’t say bad things about Lute-kun!”

… She was badmouthing Lute-kun, too!”

Because of madam’s remark, Snow puffed her cheek.

Her remark also made Meiya collapse, like being hit in the head with a hammer.

“UuUu, at that time i have yet to be touched by Luke-sama’s magnificence, i was ignorant…. anyway, now i’ll be removing madam’s choker.”

“Choker? but if it’s not unlocked with the key, the magical curse will kill mel”

“However, if its left alone it will give away your location to the enemy.”

“Ooo, this choker also had that kind of functionality huh.”

“Yes, that’s why I don’t know when we are going to get attacked, so I need to remove it. Of course i am a genius follower of Lute-sama the magic tool developer Meiya Dragoon! This level of choker i could easily remove without any difficulty. Therefore do not be concerned.”

However, she added.

“Unlocking it would require approximately 30 minutes.”

Even with Meiya’s level of expertise in magical tools and the special tools prepared it would still take 30 minutes….

Of course its impossible for an amatuer to unlock a magic prevention choker.

“Won’t we get attacked while we’re doing that?”

“It’s alright. Right now, Chrisse-chan is keeping the enemy at bay!”

Snow energetically replied.

In madam’s expression float a hint of worry.

Not for her own safety, but for her daughter.

“As I thought, that was not a mistake. Is that girl capable of keeping Gigi and the others at bay?”

“She can! Because Chrisse-chan had become very strong!”

To blow away madam worries, Snow cheerfully answered.

Both me and Snow had the same opinion.

Instead, I’m worried that she went overboard.

I believe the talent ojou-sama has, was more than just what imagined.

Especially in night battles.

The way that she could shoot out targets even with only her normal non-body-strengthened eyesight in the dark was, in a word, shocking.

In the previous world, a U.S. army sniper that could snipe game in the night is called a ‘Vampire’.”

Ojou-sama, who demonstrated the most power in night warfare is definitely a ‘Vampire’

“So, let’s start. Could you please lie down?”

As per Meiya instruction, madam lie down on the platform.

“Light please.”

With Snow’s magic, the wagon interior was illuminated.

Meiya begun to disa.s.semble the choker with a tool in her hand.

—- just as she declared, the choker was unlocked in 30 minutes.

She then casually threw out the choker

“Lute-kun, signal Chrisse-chan to withdraw.”

“Leave it to me.”

Snow from the wagon stretch out her hand high.

A flashy bright magic explosion shot upward.

Around one hour later.

Gigi and the other, moved quickly toward the location of the magic prevention collar.
