Chapter 79 - The Impacts Of Such A Savage Battle (1/2)

Vasconcelos is a growing city that receives investment from many nobles throughout the Broteforge Empire. So, a situation with a demon could both attract more investment and also drive it away.

With this in mind, it was up to the Guild Master and the other investors to choose whether to suffer this risk or not, and one fact was already public: during the party celebrating the anniversary of the Vasconcelos Guild, thirteen people died, including a young nobleman named Jean Pollo.

In the three days following that gloomy night, the guild received floods of telegrams demanding an explanation, including from the family of the Pollo family.

While this disturbance gained ground in the discussions, those responsible for solving the problem were... busy, shall we say.

”Hey, hey! That's my room!” Ayumi shouted to Alexis, who was snooping around the mansion room by room.

”Oh! That room is spectacular!” The half-dragon exclaimed.

Ayumi's room was truly amazing. With a bed so large that a giant could sleep comfortably, and simple decorations mirrored throughout the room, the place looked ideal for getting a good night's sleep.

”I know, now we're leaving...” The blonde Elf said, pushing Alexis out.

”You had no problems when we shared a room in college~.”

”Hehe! Back then you weren't so disorganized!” Ayumi replied, with a vein popping out of her forehead.

”I never saw my mother like that.” Nathalia spoke to Luke. They were both watching the situation from a few feet away.

The Strogueher Mansion is huge, and the architecture can be a bit confusing. For this reason, the half-wolf always had trouble remembering where each thing was.

For this reason, he just memorized that on the second floor were the service areas, such as the kitchen, the pantry, the storage room, as well as a small library, the large dining room, some living rooms, and other things.

Since the second floor was more restricted and more personal to the Strogueher's, Luke didn't like to hang around there, but he knew that there were several bedrooms there, Ayumi's office, a sauna room, among other spaces.

”Do you really need to snoop through every room?” Ayumi inquired to Alexis, putting her hands on her waist.

”Yeah? I have to make sure I'm going to be safe here.”

Soon after all the survivors were rescued that night, the S-Class and the half-wolf explained to the Matriarch what would happen next.

Alexis' current plan was simple. When the emissary arrived with the item, she would use it to try to locate where the demon fled to, although she doubted that anything Chris developed would actually work.

However, Luke still didn't understand why she had to wait for the emissary precisely at the Strogueher Mansion.

”Before I forget...where is Luke's room? He sleeps here, doesn't he?” She inquired, bringing her right index finger to her pink lips.

That question made Luke, Ayumi, and Nathalia blush.

”So, shall we get going? We need to go downtown.” Understanding that the half-dragon just liked to tease the Matriarch, the half-wolf quickly diverted the subject.

In the end, he really needed to get to the city.

”Can I go too?” Alexis inquired, hopelessly hoping that the pair would let her accompany them.

”Sure, you can come.” Nathalia replied. Sometimes she could push the limits of innocence, so much so that she didn't even notice the half-wolf's fearful reaction.

Ayumi brought her hand to her forehead and snorted. ”Huf... Yeah, you can go... At least you won't be tormenting me while you search all my rooms.”
