Birkyne stood behind the rows of orphans and nuns of the orphanage ere s with empty, puppet-like eyes, protected by his four close confidants that were also his most elite warriors

“How iht away,” said Birkyne, speaking to Vandalieu in a leisurely tone“Even if we do aith the introductions… don’t you want to ask, ‘What is going on here?’ or, ‘What did you do to them?’”

“… I never heard that you were the type to be concerned with such dull clichés,” said Vandalieu, showing no signs of preparing for battle

He was still standing right next to Mattheho had led hiht in front of BirkyneHe appeared defenseless and full of openings

But Birkyne and his confidants were on full alert

“Move to his side, on the opposite side of that boy… and if he tries anything, protect me,” Birkyne whispered to Seris

“Yes,Vandalieu’sSeris stand next to him, even if it only made the tiniest of differences

It was a fact that Vandalieu had defeated Ternecia, though she had been wounded at the ti the three Pure-breed Vampires orshi+ped Hihiryushukaka, Ternecia had possessed the most powerful offense, and Gubamon had possessed the ic

Even now, Vandalieu’s e an unbelievable amount of pressure on Birkyne and his confidants

That was exactly why Birkyne was acting in a leisurely manner towards him

A society enveloped by such darkness that it anizations pale in comparisonA society where it was normal for its inhabitants to toy with and devour those eaker than themselvesA society where if one did not do that, they would become the ones to be devouredBirkyne was one of the individuals who had built such a twisted, hierarchical society

Birkyne couldn’t even re at straws he had stepped on and crushed underfoot

That hy he was afraid of ending up on the side that would be crushed and devoured

“I suppose it is Eleanora who told you about my nature,” Birkyne murmured“Bellmond and Miles would not be so well-infor to show Vandalieu, someone that he could not so easily lay a hand on, was half-instinct

“Yes, Eleanora is very good toin a leisurely toneHe had indeed made preparations so that he would be ready nothe city without warning and taking everyone in the orphanage hostage had been beyond his expectations

Even if he used space-attribute arn would have noticedAnd I’n that any spells, poisons, diseases, parasites or Magic Ite their mindsJust how did he infiltrate this place and take over their minds? Vandalieu wondered

Until he understood this, he could not engage in battle with Birkyne so easilyHis feelings of frustration at this fact as pressuring Birkyne and his confidants now

Matthew laughed“What’s the matter, Vandalieu?”

“Matthew, be quietDon’t interrupt Vandalieu-san and Birkyne-san’s conversation,” said Seris

The strangest thing about this situation was the people of the orphanage, who had been taken hostage by a Pure-breed Va exposed to the pressure that Vandalieu was e

Even now, they didn’t appear to have taken any notice of the tense atmosphereThey showed no nervousness as they continued sVandalieu was certain that they were being manipulated in some way

I want to examine their minds in detail, but if I use the ‘Mental Encroachs

“If you order it, ill create openings for you,” said Chipuras

Kimberley cackled“Is it finally time for us to make an entrance?”

Vandalieu told them telepathically to wait

“Eleanora has treated you well, huh… It seems that she has becoht that I had trained her to her limit by the ti this one fact, it is clear that you are no ordinary being,” said Birkyne“But leaving that aside, I would certainly prefer if you would ask me the clichéd questionsI believe our conversation would progressof the situation, you see”

“… Conversation? After you’ve taken hostages?”said Vandalieu

“I do notis everyone in this orphanage – head, the nuns and the orphans, and I’ll throw in many more as wellI cannot fathom how much you value the lives of those whose names and faces you don’t even know, but… as a believer of Vida, you can never save toothat he had hostages outside the city of Morksi as well

“… ‘What is going on here?’ And ‘what have you done to thegested before

Birkyne gave a sh“What we need as Vampires orshi+p Hihiryushukaka, the evil God of joyful life, is sacrificesIt is troublesome to kidnap people every ti facilities for huoBandits, mercenaries, slave traders, brothels, monasteries that are deep in the es as well”

Orphans were far more convenient even than slaves and prostitutes for Birkyne and his Vae in a slum inhabited by the poor was absolutely perfect

Such orphanages allowed thee before they were even self-aware, and even if they grew to become adults before there was an opportunity to use them, they could simply be thrown out of the facility

The lance at the orphans, so in many cases, nobody would even notice if they abruptly went uards would not investigate in detail after being told that the orphans had died of illness or injury

There were some cases where relatives and for in monasteries would come to take them backThere had even been more than a few times where the facilities’ true purpose had beco the facilities would actually be happy to hand over one or two of their livestock in order to prevent any trouble, but… that would be suspicious in and of itselfSlave traders that sold slaves for cheaper prices, brothels that let their prostitutes go fro paid, ed their inhabitants to return to a secular life… It would be unavoidable for such facilities to draw the suspicious gazes of other slave traders or related Guilds and Churches

That hy Birkyne and the other Pure-breed Vaes in various cities to secure sacrifices and individuals that would becoe is just one of themIt is not a place that we took over recently; it has been this way since it was builtIt has been run without any proble notice of it onceOf course, there is a lies can acco some facilities of other times as wellJust like the mine that I found Eleanora inI consider it fortunate that I did not tell her about these activities,” Birkyne said as he placed a hand on Sister Vestra’s shoulder“The reason that these people worshi+p Vida is‘the Goddess of life and love’ over the orphanage is convenientIf they worshi+ped the Gods related to Alda, most of the Churches in the cities would interfere with donations, charity, introductions to new connections and what have youIt would be probleement of our puppets”

Birkyne moved his hand from Vestra’s shoulder to her waist and pulled her close towards hi that she really was a puppet under his control

But Vandalieu noticed that Vestra’s cheeks were stiff after having this done to her

Sister Seris left Vandalieu’s side and briskly walked towards Birkyne… and pinched the back of Birkyne’s hand that was on Vestra’s waist

“Birkyne-san, please do not hold Vestra like this,” she said with a smile

The four noble-born Vampires’ tension reached a peak with her behavior, but Birkyne calies,” he said

“Birkyne-san, it would be problematic for anyone to e’s head with a bitter, exasperated expression

“Hey, MrBirkyne’s a pervert!” the children jeered

Within seconds, Birkyne covered the back of his hand, which had returned to its ordinary color, and gave a bitter smile

“Silence,” he said

In an instant, everyone in the orphanage stopped e’s head, the children, Matthew, Seris who had returned to Vandalieu’s side again – all of them had frozen in place with no expression on their faces, as if they really were just puppets

“Now then… as you can see, they are –” Birkyne began

“This city was under your influence long before I came hereBut all of their personalities are their own, and none of them intended to deceive meThat’s true not just for Matthew and the other children, but for the nuns and the orphanage’s head as wellThey are brainwashed, convenient puppets for you,” Vandalieu summarized

Birkyne was surprised for a moment, and then his smile widened

It seemed that Vandalieu’s suood wordIt was apparently often done in other worlds, wasn’t it? Bellwood er of Zakkart and the others… though when I think about it now, I think Bellas the brainwashed one,” said Birkyne

Though he ade had been brainwashed, brainwashi+ng someone wasn’t such a simple taskVandalieu, who possessed the ‘Mental Encroachment’ Skill, knew this from experience

“From the way you ordered them to be silent, you must have brainwashed them yourselfHow did you brainwash them all? And is Sister Seris a Vampire?” Vandalieu asked

“… Oh my, how did you notice that she is a Subordinate Va his first question

“When she pinched your hand, the back of your hand turned redAn ordinary nun would not be able to even scratch a Pure-breed VathThere is no way that she could have made your skin turn red if she was an ordinary nun,” Vandalieu replied

Vandalieu had taken no notice of this when he had examined her with his spirit form and spells, however, as he had simply assumed that she was a huhtThis orphanage’s nuns, Seris and Vestra, are Subordinate Vaiven my blood,” said Birkyne“They are well-ht, do not have crimson eyes and do not need to act, as they themselves are unaware that they are Vao, Gubamon had acquired a Subordinate Vaht without any proble heard this and wanting Vaht, Birkyne had begun experiments, partly as a way to pass the tiathered a hundred children and bathed the; powerful, burn-inducing rays had been produced by ic afterwardsThis was repeated over the course of days and ht Resistance’ Skill

After the children acquired the ‘Sunlight Resistance’ Skill and grew up to a certain extent, they would be transformed into VampiresThis process would lead to artificially-created, sunlight-resistant Vampires

But the unfortunate result was that over ninety percent of the children had died, unable to withstand the procedureSeris and Vestra had acquired the ‘Sunlight Resistance’ Skill before they died, but they were one of the few that hadhad so few cases of success and took so long until it was cos, so they were not put to use as spies like Valen was

However, they were turned into Subordinate Vampires, had their ed the orphanage

If they hadn’t been brainwashed by Birkyne, they would likely have been guided by Vandalieu the ination? Why was her grip so strong when she pinched me? They are indeed Subordinate Va, Birkyne thought to himself

Despite his cool response to Vandalieu, he had actually been shaken for a moment when Seris pinched himSeris was Rank 3 at most, and had not acquired any cohtly hurt a Pure-breed Vampire

But Birkyne couldn’t afford to iht now

“But to you, whether they are Va is that I a them… exactly the way you know them,” he said

This was the critical point of Birkyne’s planHe had not taken hostagesHe was negotiating under the reasoning that Vandalieu had si them

In preparation for this plan, Birkyne had re-brainwashed every single hu facility under his control

He had described several of Vandalieu’s characteristic traits to theet closer to him once they met the individual who met Vandalieu’s descriptionThis way, the plan would work no matter which city Vandalieu appeared in
