Chapter 181 (1/2)
Kanako suggested to Vandalieu that her group be turned into rated to Talosheim In that moment, she did not have any ulterior ht thing to do, and she had obeyed them and opened her mouth to speak
But these words were a result of the past Kanako’s cunning use of her power
She had learned in Rodcorte’s Divine Realed to his circle of trans as this was true, Rodcorte and his familiar spirits would be able to observe thele most troubleso that their goal was to join forces with Vandalieu In fact, this fact was the reason for their blunder of being followed by Asagi’s group
In order to get out of this situation that was equivalent to having spy cameras and microphones attached to their own eyes and ears, they had no choice but to leave Rodcorte’s circle of transration system
The most reliable way to do this that Kanako could think of was to transform into a member of one of Vida’s races and enter Vida’s circle of trans the sauided by Vandalieu But it was uncertain as to whether they would be guided right after ine that he would expend long periods of tiuide them
But once they left Rodcorte’s Divine Realm and were reincarnated in Laration system would be erased It was impossible for Kanako to leave a note for herself; she didn’t even have a body, let alone any materials to ith
That hy she had used Venus, the power that Rodcorte had granted to her
She had explained Venus as an ability to charm others to most of the other reincarnated individuals, but it was actually an ability that let her copy and paste the memories and e onto others, vice versa or froet to another
As a result of her hard work and experience, Kanako had succeeded in adding conditions in which the memories and emotions would awaken
For example, she was able to set her power up beforehand so that et met a certain individual
While she was in Rodcorte’s Divine Realm, she had waited for a time when Rodcorte’s attention wasn’t focused on her and then found a tireatly attracted to the idea of beco a member of one of Vida’s races the moment she met Vandalieu
And then she had used Venus to co so
With that, she had believed that her o undetected unless Rodcorte or Aran noticed Kanako and examined her in detail
The reason she had only set Venus up to affect her emotions was that if she had tried to ration system, there was a possibility that the entire effect would be erased when she was reincarnated
But hoping that she would later voice her desire to becoa memories or emotions awaken under certain conditions had a lower chance of succeeding as the quantity and complexity of the memories and emotions increased Even if it did succeed, e that could not be quantified
Depending on the circumstances at the time, even if the emotions did awaken, there was the possibility that she would not voice them
But the Kanako of the past had believed that her future self would realize that this e on it
And now, the Kanako of the present had succeeded in this gamble spectacularly
“Eh, in other words, we can becorate?!” she asked
She had never expected that Vandalieu would request for her to become a member of Vida’s races anyway
“Wait, can you explain e need to beco
“It seems that Kanako can’t explain the reason,” said Melissa
Vandalieu nodded and began his explanation “The reason I a you to beco back for you In the Amid Empire and, unfortunately, even in several of the duchies of the Orbaudom, Vida’s races have little freedom Vampires, Majin, Kijin and Ghouls in particular are treated as monsters rather than people”
“I see… If we’re turned into one of those races, then we’d be left with no choice but to do everything we can for your nation That’s kind of nasty,” said Doug, his face stiffening
“Doug! The nations that Vandalieu rules over are er and uarantee you that you will have no feelings of being imprisoned!” said Valkyrie
“I don’t think that you’d lie, but… Nations?” Doug said, repeating the plural word
Unaware that Vandalieu’s influence extended beyond Talosheinored him and continued “There are other reasons, but… I’ll tell you after you become members of Vida’s races,” he said “So, ill you do? If you really will becouidance before it happens, and make sure you have various fore in race would y If they becaht if they becaely unchanged except for the color of their eyes changing and fangs growing
But even then, they would have to drink blood for as long as they lived, and they would become vulnerable to anti-Vampire Artifacts like Ne to live ie they beca to Eleanora and Miles who had once belonged to an evil God’s faction, there were all sorts of proble Vae interpersonal relationshi+ps with the Pure-breed or noble-born Vampires that were their parents, as well as those with other Va in a low social position in Vampire society
If they became races other than Vampires, such as Majin, Kijin, Ghouls, Lae as well
Their lives would change significantly It wasn’t sos
“A Vampire, huh Well, I don’t think it would be all that bad, but…” Melissa said, trailing off
“Yeah, it’s a little…” Doug ested this on her own, the other two seemed to be hesitant
“I’m kind of reluctant to spend an eternity with the appearance of a teenage brat We get looked down on often,” said Doug
“If I knew you were going to ask us to do this, I would have asked Rodcorte to give us h their races were different – two Elves and one hu had been reincarnated about a year ago in the bodies of children in theirappearances
In ions, people were treated as adults froe, one would be free to not only join the Adventurers’ Guild, but drink, gaht districts of towns as well
However, just as twenty-year-old people were still treated as inexperienced youngsters in modern japanese society, fifteen-year-old people were treated the sa had considered this treat looked down on”
As for Melissa, her sole concern was her appearance
“… The problem is your looks, is it?” said Vandalieu, his shoulders dropping in exasperation
“Well, it’s i to be effects on their minds They can’t help but think about their appearances and i and Melissa
“The Pure-breed Vampires of the evil God’s faction apparently waited for Va them into Vaet the feeling that our figures were better in our previous lives ere in our early twenties than our current bodies… But it would take decades for Elves to mature that uarantee that we’ll er with our teenage appearances,” said Kanako, perhaps influenced by Doug and Melissa’s words
“Vandalieu, how about I start explaining the plan B that we came up with beforehand?” said En
“Yeah It’s not actually a different choice; it’s ayou into ,” said Enma “The rituals to transform into members of Vida’s races can take quite a while to prepare for, depending on the race We ca on the races you choose, youfor a while”
On top of that, there would be proble the rituals as well
If Kanako and her companions became members of Vida’s races, someone from the races they chose would beco thana child, so they could not reement of the races
In the case of the for Princess Knight’ Iris Bearheart asking Godwin to transforency situation, and she had been in an alliance with Vandalieu for over a year, which had allowed Vandalieu to vouch for her character
Kanako and her coal activities with Legion for several years in their previous lives, but…
They can’t vouch for their character, Vandalieu thought
People that Legion had formed a temporary alliance with to make use of each other were more trustworthy than ‘Marionette’ or ‘Death Scythe,’ but they could not be endorsed
“In other words, we are o rituals to becoo Plan B in the o with this plan B”
Doug and Melissa nodded as well
Vandalieu took three cloth bags froether It’s nothing difficult; you’ll just spend several days listening towith me in an isolated environs”
Kanako and her coestured for thes over their heads
Afterwards, Kanako Tsuchiya would reflect on these events and say these words about them: “I already knew this, but he’s a completely different person from when he was on Earth Not just his appearance, but on the inside as well If he was like this on Earth, everyone in our school would have re their vision, Kanako and her companions were taken to an unknown place by the Teleportation of Legion’s Jack
It was a grassland area somewhere with a clearly hastily-built hut, a well nearby and, for soeon
Kanako and her co here Every day, Vandalieu would teleport here froive them lectures about Vida’s doctrine and history froether in the Dungeon and ate Vandalieu’s cooking
“Vandalieu-Sensei, this is really plan B, right?” asked Doug “We’re just spending our days living a better lifestyle than we’d get in any town’s inn and listening to sie in nuet to eat delicious food”
The hut they were living in was like a prefabricated house fro facilities, which autoe inn
“I don’t mean for it to be that luxurious for you, but this is really plan B,” said Vandalieu “Leaving that aside, please obediently drink this redients for now”
“… This juice? It’s delicious, but why is it a black-red color?” asked Melissa
“Doug, Melissa, who cares about our appearances?” said Kanako “It’s been so long since I had so sweet, and there are even deep-fried foods andMuraka After spending over a year in this world, I truly realized how blessed ere on Earth and in Origin,” said Doug as he took a bite out of a halace sauce
Vandalieu are that in , including food, orse than the previous torlds that he had lived in However, he see’s words
“Since you were reincarnated into adult bodies, weren’t you able to co your food?” Vandalieu asked “And depending on your budget, you should be able to live as comfortably or even h I don’t know if there would be de as one had the e ic Items in place of electrical appliances
This was especially true when it came to food It was true that there were many foods, flavors and dishes that didn’t exist here, but redients, and dishestheir materials were first-rate delicacies that could not be eaten in either of the other torlds
There was a saying that money opens all doors; even in this world, most proble and Melissa were all wearing complicated expressions in response to Vandalieu’s words
“Well, I guess that’s true If we had
“We couldn’t really come up with much, either,” said Melissa
