Chapter 207 (2/2)
”Darcisas an
”Miles-san will do so a nod towards Miles
Miles, as about to put his sixth skewer in his mouth, stopped and nodded ”Of course I' discussion at this food cart will spread within the day… I'll s -”
”Then how about weWolf' Michael's wohed, and Chipuras's jaw dropped at Darcia's suggestion
”I see If we do that, then it's not strange for you to visit our food cart often, and Moo andWolf's' woman, nobody will dare s,” said Vandalieu calreed, so it's decided, then,” said Darcia
”Wait a second! Are you sure about this?!” Miles asked, looking shaken
”It's fine, Miles-san That person… Valen, wasn't quite as well-known as you, but he was quite the big figure in the underworld,” said Darcia, looking into the distance as if re of the past
”… Are you okay with that, Boss?” Miles asked Vandalieu
”It's not like you're actually dating, so as long as you're okay with it, Miles,” Vandalieu replied ”I trust you, after all”
Though Miles talked in a feminine tone and loved to wear lipstick, Vandalieu knew that he wasn't hoht, let's do that, then!” Miles said, his heart throbbing as he felt Vandalieu's trust in hiht need to hold hands or put our hands around each other's shoulders or waists in order to sell the act, so forgive me for that”
”Well, it is an act, after all More importantly, about the mysterious divine protection, how's yours, Miles?” Vandalieu asked, thinking that Miles's divine protection's hidden letters ht all be revealed now that Darcia's were
”Mine? There are still two hidden letters, but… now that you mention it, there were three hidden letters until yesterday”
It seemed that Miles's divine protection still had some hidden letters It seeh to reveal one letter
”Is that so? All of my divine protection's hidden letters are revealed, and it says 'Vandalieu's Divine Protection,' but maybe there are some individual differences,” said Darcia
”Ah, I see… There e divine statue of you in the middle of construction by the time we return to Talosheim, Boss,” said Miles
”Miles, it's a stone statue Not a divine statue, a stone statue,” Vandalieu said, correcting him
TLN: In japanese, there is a separate word for statue when it's a statue of a God There's no such separate word in English, so I've translated that to 'divine statue' here Vandalieu is insisting that it's not a statue of a God, but an ordinary stone statue
”But Boss, there ht be people other than Darcisama who only had one hidden letter left and now have theirls in Talosheim,” said Miles
”It's still just a stone statue,” Vandalieu insisted
”You're so stubborn, Boss… Ah, and h my Rank hasn't increased It was 'Abyssal Vaed to 'Abyssal noble-born Vampire Marquis,'” said Miles
”It is just 'noble-born' that was added, is it not? And the Pure-breed Vampires have already become Abyssal Pure-breed Vae, isn't it? You're a Ghost, so it probably doesn't have anything to do with you, but Belle next,” said Miles ”Though it does seeed other thanof the change, it was likely the effect of Vandalieu acquiring the 'Bestower' Job
”I see Let's ask the other Vampires in Taloshei okay for time?”
”Now that you mention it, it would be problerilled skewers for takeout, then,” said Miles
”Yes, yes”
”Can I have half-and-half of Horn Rabbit meat and Giant Rat meat? The rabbit is healthier and delicious, but the rat has more fat and its richness is delicious as well And are there any other kinds of sauces?”
”Here you are But there aren't any other sauces, so I'll think of so ten skewers each, then went around to the other food carts as the 'Starving Wolf' Michael to give the owners soize for the commotion that he had caused After that, he returned to the city's night scene He would probably divide the skewers later as and… Eleanora and the others
Vandalieu had made a profit for today in terms of sales thanks to Miles, but later on, several other people ordered sorilled skewers and started up some conversation
It seemed that these were infor Wolf' had been discussing at this food cart, so Vandalieu and Darcia told the Wolf' had seduced Darcia
Vandalieu and Darcia returned home, put the food cart in the shed and entered the house that apparently had a shady history
The house had been cleaned thoroughly by the Tartarus Maid Armors, Saria and Rita
”Welcome home, Bocchan, Darcisa!” said Rita
The truth was that these two had been inside the knapsack that Darcia had been carrying when she entered the city of Morksi
It would seem impossible for the tomen who could only be described as beauties, one of the-leotard-shaped armor and the other a bikini-shaped armor with maid-like decorations, to both fit inside a knapsack
But Rita and Saria were Living-Armor-type Undead Their armor was their actual main body, and what filled them was merely materialized spirit form
If they withdrew their spirit form and returned to an armor-only state, it was easy for Darcia to carry them both with the ars were inspected, the two of the but suits of armor
They were aroods, so it was unlikely that there would be any probleh-leg-leotard and bikini-shaped suits of ares? Like the previous tenant still being here or so”
”No, there weren't any Ghosts There wasn't even a single ht have just instinctively fled because we're here, though,” said Rita
”I see… I thought it would have beendisappointed
”Mom, most of this city's spirits are already with me,” Vandalieu pointed out
”Now that you h this was only known to those who could see spirits, there was a countless nu Vandalieu Many of theht, but they were unmistakably spirits
”Bocchan attracts all the spirits except for those that are strongly haunting certain places or people, after all,” said Saria ”Anyway… I wonder what this house's history actually is?”
”It would be unpleasant if it was so every tenant and applying a poison that makes their death look like it was caused by disease,” said Darcia
”Darcisahosts Seriously,” said Rita
”… There's soer Sense: Death,'” said Vandalieu
Further investigation revealed a gap between the floor of the first floor and the base inside it It seemed to be a very toxic mold, and this was apparently the reason that tenants would die of disease within a year of h this would only be revealed by later investigation… This house's history was not exactly the truth There had actually been some who had fled to escape their debts rather than die of disease, and others who hadhere for over a year
”Well, hosts,” said Vandalieu ”'Disinfect,' 'Sterilization'”
Vandalieu carefully removed the ap with his 'Golem Creation' Skill The house was now a safe house with a shady history
”Of course, everywhere is a haunted house with Bocchan around,” said Saria
”We're here too, and there are so many Ghosts like Princess Levia and Orbisan,” said Rita
”And I',” said Vandalieu ”I'll leave the outward appearance the sah”
First, he turned the entire house into Golems This was to leave the house's exterior appearance the sa floors, and iainst intruders
If the entire house was Gole Slayer' Sleygar, a superhuman assassin who had awakened the 'Silent Steps' Skill into the superior Skill 'Nihility,' which erased his presence entirely
And, as if having waited for the perfect tiarn eht the ites fro the house
”Thanks The only et around here are made of bone, so this is very helpful,” said Vandalieu
”You honor arn
”This really is so helpful! We didn't bring our halberd and glaive here, after all,” Rita said happily
”If we bought new ones froht away Thank you, Gufadgarn-san,” said Saria
Rita and Saria had been unarladly received their weapons froth was already beyond what ordinary iron weapons could handle
Vandalieu used the delivered Dark Copper to reinforce the house ”With this, the house ithstand even spells and martial skills used from outside,” he said
”Perhaps it would withstand attacks from the reincarnated individuals… but I believe that it would be possible for the Pure-breed Vale attack,” said Gufadgarn
She knew al this assue of the other Pure-breed Vampires
”That's true, but… Birkyne would be able to attack the house from outside the city's walls,” said Vandalieu ”Let's deal with that with the Dungeon that I'll make in the baseeon in the base forces in the event of an e to eon as possible, so I don't think it would provide us with fighting forces”
”Depending on the circueon, after all,” said Darcia
If Vandalieu carelessly created a high-class Dungeon, it was possible that this would cause great trouble for the city of Morksi It would be good if the city could adopt the Dungeon and become a labyrinth city, but… the inhabitants of the slum quarter would lose their homes in the process, which was unacceptable
And if it ever caeon's ht for him, the city would either be destroyed or be in a position where its destruction was inevitable
Vandalieu was creating a Dungeon so that things would not get to that point, so there would be no point inforces
”Well, I need to e, so we'll see if I can keep it to E-class or not,” said Vandalieu ”Well then, Moeon in the baseo around behind the house”
”Behind the house? Make sure you coets cold,” said Darcia
”Yes, Mo no notice of the house that had people living in it for the first tie, different presence
This dog, who had been born in the slued to survive until adulthood despite losing its siblings and le between coet food It had wandered to this place without even realizing it
Its rival predators were other stray dogs and… the inhabitants of the slus were coood sources of food the had lost its fa the was utterly afraid of huht by its mother to be wary of hu predators to it
That hy it was here, behind this unpopular, ee in the streets where people walked, it would starve to death here
But before that, Vandalieu silently appeared where the dog was
”A mouse would have done for an experi… Co with a sth returned to the starving dog's eyes, and it bared its fangs at Vandalieu and growled Of course, it are of the piece of driedcautious of Vandalieu himself, and chose to try and intimidate him
”At ti to be scared of?'” Vandalieu wondered, bringing his hand closer to the dog, unafraid of the dog's growls
The dog let out a bark and instinctively reached out to bite It put all of its strength into its jaws, its teeth sinking not into the dried 's surprise, Vandalieu didn't respond at all He didn't withdraw his hand in pain and surprise; he simply continued to let his hand be bitten
And there was so's jaws… No matter how hard it bit, no blood came out The skin would not break
”There, there,” said Vandalieu, patting the dog's head with his other hand ”You don't need to giveI suppose it's alorth a try to say it”
The dog felt as if so in the depths of Vandalieu's eyes
The dog knew that this person was not a huo of Vandalieu's hand, which hite as candle-wax and not red fro I'ry, so let's hurry and have dinner… but before that, I suppose I'll give you a little wash,” said Vandalieu
The dog gave a happy bark and followed Vandalieu into the house
