Chapter 17 (2/2)

”Doesn't look like he can see So despite his organa full recovery, its function is still lost Interesting Let's try this then”

Lain raised the corners of her ht after, she sunk her teeth into the beastman's neck

”What are you doing, Sage-sama!”

Lain's sudden action gave Edelgard a shock

”Sage Lain-sama is a vampire, were you not aware?”

”But wasn't she completely fine back on the roof!”

Vampires were of the undead, which e in their world

”Lain-sa undeads, also called Queen of Unlife and I that such a person wouldn't be bothered by the sun”

”Ooh, you sure know your stuff! And here I thought the Sages' aetting over her surprise the vampire had finished her deed and separated froht away

His nails started growing, hiscanines characteristic for vampires

When he moved his limbs about, the rope that was supposed to restrain him ripped just like that He rolled over and fell off the bed

”Kneel”

Lain commanded the beast flapped his limbs, but that was all It appeared he could tell that he had been given an order and was desperately trying to fulfil it, but he had no way of knohat kind of order it actually was At least, that's what it looked like to George

”So even turning him into my blood won't do Now that's funny, not even telepathy is working”

Vampires are creatures that turn people into their followers by sucking their blood, which norh telepathy possible, but even that was being cancelled in the beastman's case

”Oh well, now he's one of my followers Do you mind if I take hiave her agreee was relieved He orried they ht end up stuck with their suspect in his current condition

”I have to say, this guy has turned into quite an interesting state The ones responsible for this are the two japanese by the nairi Takatoo and Toifted we doubt there is anything they could have done, really”

”What kind of idiot are you, Edelgard? Ten people died and those tere the only ones present Who else are you telling me to suspect?”

”O-of course, that's certainly true, but even so we have absolutely no clue how to proceed under that assumption We can't lock thee prepared himself for death

Actually, it was ard, but despite that she didn't resort to petty excuses

There were things that were beyond her understanding She wasn't the kind of shrewd person to try hiding that sis there, pardonthose two candidates, I actually already heard about thee caler in jeopardy, and Edelgard replied

”Is that so?”

”One of sage shi+on's acolytes, Youichi Sudou, contacted on with instant deaththat seeuous, but it did spark my interest That was also when I received your report”

”I see How should we proceed in dealing with the two ungifted then?”

”Mh, but neither of the guards were able to hear it to the end

A blaring roar blasted through the rooe fell into panic, Edelgard clung onto him and both of them were thrown to the floor, where they rolled about until they bumped into a corner of the rooe voiced his confusion as he rose to his feet, no idea what just happened

”There!”

Edelgard pointed to the entrance of the roo his sword, excellently transitioned into a stance with no openings

The floor at that man's feet had formed cracks

Difficult to believe as it may be, the earlier earthquake appeared to have been the aftermath of that swordsman's step-in

One half of the door, which had been perfectly split in half, fell to the floor with a thump However, the man's sword had cleanly chopped in half not only the door, but the whole rooh her middle

That the sword shouldn't have been able to reach that far was undeniable, but George couldn't interpret the scene as anything other than the sudden attacker having cut Lain into two pieces

”Hero”

George had analyzed hiht away

”What!?”

”I performed analyze, it's the result! Don't ask me who it is, but he has the Hero class!”

Surprise, shock and aritten all over the two guards' faces as they witnessed the Hero's sudden appearance

Updates:

Youichi Sudou's last nainally translated as Zudou, a careless misread on my behalf

George and Edelgard are guards of civil order on a national level, not just Kuenza

Chihara Dannoura, Tomochika's sister, is the elder sister of the two, not the younger Pointing it out here for those who read the chapter before it was corrected Thanks to the anon who mentioned it

Regarding the capitalization of 'sage': It's in upper case when -sae is addressed, lower case/Sage-sa Next chapter sometime next week
