Ch. 101: Requesting after Moving

“So you want to talk about a job, right?”

They were at the bar in the guild.

The blonde girl sitting in front of him squirmed in her chair as she looked around.

Loren was looking at the girl suspiciously, while Lapis, who was sitting next to him, was looking at her with a small smile that didn’t anyone know what she was thinking.

“That’s right, but you chose quite the lively place.”

Around them were adventurers looking for jobs and drunk customers, and the waitresses were weaving in and out between them, and it was indeed a sight that could be described as lively.

“You don’t like it?”

“It’s not bad. It’s aesthetic.”

Even if they were to move, Loren didn’t know a quiet and fancy shop that the girl might like.

Lapis might have known, but such a shop would be very expensive, and he had no intention of going somewhere like that.

‘Onii-san, Onii-san, be careful.’

The voice of a girl that couldn’t be seen rang out in the back of his mind.

The girl that became a no life king, the highest ranking undead, after a whole city being sacrificed.

Existing in her astral body after losing her physical one, she was living within Loren’s astral body.

That was the girl named Shayna, who had spoken to Loren.

‘I sense something strange from her. The same smell as me, to be exact…’

“Hmm, you. You have a strange air about you. You’re keeping something inside, aren’t you?”

“Choose your words carefully, alright? I’m not keeping anything around me.”

Before thinking that she found out, what came out of Loren’s mouth was a warning filled with killing intent.

Even if he could put aside the fact that Shayna was an undead, it didn’t change the fact that she had helped him many times.

Since the girl had said he was keeping her without even knowing anything, there was no way he could just take it, and he couldn’t help but put killing intent into his words.

It was killing intent that had been toned throughout countless battles.

Even though it wasn’t pointed towards them, just feeling it made the waitresses stop in their tracks and the people around him widened their eyes and looked towards him, making him the center of attention.

But even though the girl in front of him got the full brunt of it, she didn’t even blink, and looked at Loren’s face coolly with interest.

Becoming upset with her attitude, Loren started considering leaving without hearing about her job request, but he stiffened at the cold air that came from in front of him.

It might have been actual cold air.

But Loren felt the chill in his spine sending a fright all the way inside to his core and ended up not being able to stand up from his seat.

“Don’t get so upset. I admit that it was a poor choice of words. I won’t ask you to forgive me, but I’d appreciate if you’d accept my apology.”

As the girl switched to a commendable way of talking and bowed her head, Loren looked at her in disbelief.

Around them were customers who were bubbling at their mouths, waitresses that became paralyzed with fright and sank to the ground, but no one had no idea what happened.

It seemed that it was only Loren, who was in front of the girl, and Lapis, who was beside him, that understood that the blast of cold air was from her.

“It seems like we’ve been noticed by something ridiculous.”

Although she had felt the same thing as Loren, Lapis said so in a joking manner.

The girl, who had been called something ridiculous, didn’t seem to be upset and just smiled.

‘Onii-san, this person is probably an Elder.’

“Elder?”

Loren unthinkingly repeated what Shayna had told him.

Hearing what he said, the girl looked at him like she had found something very interesting.

“Oh, I’ve been trying quite hard to hide it, but you found out.”

“Huh? Is Kauffa going to end today? A lot of things have been destroyed and ended ever since I started being with Loren, but this is the most extreme out of all of them.”

With Lapis muttering on about gathering her belongings and money before everything ended at the corner of his eye, Loren asked Shayna about elders.

‘To put it simply, they are vampires.’

Shayna used the knowledge of the no life king to explain to Loren.

Vampires were beings that sucked blood.

They were like a catastrophe, attacking humans, getting stronger when they drank their blood, and turning their victims into low class undead, and a single vampire could even destroy a whole nation.

Vampires differed based on how they were born, and the lowest class was born from men and women with pure bodies that had their blood suck by a vampire and becoming the same type of vampire.

Even if they were low class, they were still something to be feared, since they had enough power to annihilate a village or a town.

For the higher classes, there were those who became vampires by ritual called Trues, in the same way Shayna had been turned into an undead, and depending on their abilities when they were alive, they were feared to be able to annihilate a whole nation.
