Epilogue: Ten Characters / Ten Colors in the Coffin
Just when I thought I was going to disappear, the viscount spoke to me
[Have you any intention of cooperating, young lady?]
No I' for Master Watt I couldn't betray him
[Is your loyalty your way of life? Or perhaps so you reserve only for him?]
I don't knohat you're trying to say I just want to see Master Watt sain So I want hi time
[Thenfor thening of his life?]
…If I ask, are you going to save Master Watt? Even froirl?
[So long ase her request]
I thought for a second If I disappeared noouldn't be able to help Master Watt
I didn't know if I could trust this person, but maybe I could still be of use to Master Watt, even if this vaht be able to do so as I'm still alive
I ain
And that's why I betrayed Master Watt
The wide street leading from the castle to the city was lit by street laht
”I told you not to follow me, Clown! Take oneas I live” Watt roared, stopping suddenly shi+zune was still slung over his shoulder
'Oh no, he's mad'
The jester had tried to follow Watt in fog form, but it seemed he had noticed her presence She materialized into a physical form and nervously bowed her head Watt did not turn to look at her
”I'ood You understand?”
The jester tilted her head This was not like Watt
”I tasted hell because you bastards betrayedyou earnfor yourself None of you are gonna sympathize with me”
The jester tried to deny it, but Watt did not let her interrupt
”But listen up, Clown I know better than anyone how daht I'll start all over again from the pits I'll enjoy every step I take, and one day I'll reach the top and push off everyone else That's what I' for”
Watt's voice grew ht that she could see his usual vulgar grin beyond his shoulder
”So don't even think about taking that fun away fro the fun to other people this tiain and again, as long as it takes! So listen up …I will get you back You, the Magic Man, the transfor! I’ll take it all back with my oo hands! What could be better than that?”
He stopped, then turned back to face the jester
”So you just sit tight and wait, Clown No… Swear loyalty to the fucking count and do whatever he tells you to do If he tells you to kill me, you better not showin my power to take you back”
The petty villain raood for him
”I’ll get it all back one day, all for myself For me”
On his face was the very sao
”So you better wait for me, Clown”
The jester said nothing—she merely beamed and nodded
Seeing this, Watt began walking again
”See you around, Clown Say hi to the count for me”
<=>
Some time before Watt's attack—
When the transfor vampire fled froo into the forest to look for him But they had scarcely stepped into the woods when Val appeared before them
”…Are you here to finish me off?”
Val was in the forile than before, as though he was only a touch away froe in his attitude, but Mihail nonchalantly tossed his cell phone to Val
”Hey, I erased that picture from earlier Don't worry”
The boy looked at Mihail in disbelief
”Why…?”
”Why? Well, you don't want people to find out who you really are, right? It's gonna be fine I won't tell a soul”
”But you're huust you? Aren't I-”
Mihail nodded without hesitation
”You know, there's this va a vampire doesn't scare me If it did, then that would mean I didn't like Ferret”
”What…?!”
Ferret was stunned by Mihail's incredibly fearless confession
The boy stared at Mihail curiously for some time, but finally spoke
”Thank you”
And, he transforave Mihail a kiss on the cheek
Both Mihail and Ferret were left in a daze by this act
Ferret quickly turned aside and mumbled,
”…I shall not be jealous”
”That ht now, you are jealous, and I finally kno you feel about me—oof!”
One well-placed punch was enough to knock Mihail unconscious
It had been nearly a full day since
Waldstein Castle was enveloped in a lively air
”…So what in the world was the true form of Valdred?”
”Sorry, that's a secret Anyway, I'o of yours… Whoa!”
Mihail stue almost as tall as he was Ferret and the others had only been able to rest after the night of the commotion had passed—and by the tio they had left at the harbor office had been delivered to the castle
Along with dozens upon dozens of familiars
”Don't worry, Mr Mage I'll get that for you!” Relic called, spotting the bespectacled e
”Please, Master Relic! Allow me to do at least this ood for! Treat me as one of your familiars, a snake, or an owl!”
”I couldn't do that”
When Relic had unleashed his powers, all he did to the ive hiician was the type to pledge his loyalty to those stronger than hi as Relic reician would probably remain on his side
”I dreaanizations under your power, and lad to help…”
”…You don't try to hide anything, do you?”
The Magician suddenly stopped, and looked around at the fa Hilda and Mihail
”What a fascinating island”
”Pardon?”
”An area so densely populated by the fantastic… no such place exists in japan But it feels as though creatures like us continue to gather on this island one by one Is there so here, I wonder, that draws us to this place?”
”I don't really know But I really love this island I'e”
Although the for, Relic addressed hi that this was Relic's true nature, the Magician closed his eyes
”I’m already very much in love with this island And those familiars of yours also seem to be wonderful people”
Relic nodded and looked back at the familiars
However—
”…Huh? Are there more of them?” Relic asked a nearby maid She smiled sheepishly
”That's right, Master Relic They were trying to hunt us down at the harbor on thewith us somehow!”
At a glance, Relic could see a group of surprisingly energetic va some unusual conversations
”All right, all right, all right! We're having a welco party today, yeah!” ”M-A-I-D-S! M-A-I-D-S!” ”You know, in japan, they have a call-in maid service now” ”Seriously? Like the ones in japanimation?” ”What, those japs? Haha!” ”J-A-P! J-A-P!”
”Uh… right”
Not only that, working between the olves, witches, and illa and the other exterminators
”Huh? Are they still under control?” ”Our parents are back to noruys?” Hilda and Mihail wondered The jester laughed loudly
”Tee hee! You know, the viscount said he didn't just want to let theoing to re-educate the session! Ahaha!”
The jester paused for a moment, and addressed Hilda in a more serious tone
”You know, I found this out when I was controlling your parents Your mom and dad love you so much Even ive them or not, but I just want you to know, okay?”
”…Okay Thank you”
”Forgive theo that far for!”
Although Hilda still sees about the situation, Mihail answered energetically
”I already expected so like this I'm in love with a beautiful vampire princess, after all You don't need to tell ood forco rejected by Ferret!”
”Tee hee! I bet that princess of your just doesn't have very good taste yet!”
”Young Master Gerhardt You weren't scared, watching the castle alone for an entire year?” An elderly woman with an arched back asked the viscount with some difficulty
[Aha! I aer a child, Grandmother Job! Each day was filled with adventure!]
”What's this about adventure, now? Haven’t you any idea how much I worried that you'd dry up without us? InMaster”
”That's Granny Job”
”What?! But last time I saw her—”
”She gets taller and her back straightens out when she transfore”
