Chapter 43: Darling! (2/2)

”...?” Violet didn't understand Pepper's reaction.

”Yes, Lord Victor is not stupid... But he is very different from ordinary noble vampires,” Kaguya continued.

”I know he's not normal after all; he's my Darling!” Violet displayed a proud smile.

Kaguya holds back the urge to sigh again and continues, ”When noble vampires go to do an action that, for our species would be commonplace, they succeed naturally, right?”

”Yes,” Violet remembers that it was the same with her.

”Lord Victor doesn't work like that; if he tries to do a simple action, some explosion of power will always happen. He looks like a battery that contains a lot of power and never gets discharged. Because of that, he can't control his power to learn the basics.”

BOOOOOOOOM!

Victor was suddenly thrown into the sky by Lacus.

”HAHAHAHAHA,”

”He seems to be enjoying himself…” Violet was a little annoyed.

While he was in the sky, he suddenly made a move. Victor kicked the air and launched himself towards the ground, and, when he did that, Violet could see that pure fire had gone out as he kicked the air.

And when he was falling towards the ground, his body started to be covered by lightning, and when he landed on the ground, a little ice explosion happened.

”...What in the seven hells was that?” Violet asked in disbelief.

”As Lady Violet can see... Any small actions Victor does, he unconsciously releases his powers and, because of that, he can't learn the basic skills of a vampire.”

Kaguya looks at Victor, struggling with a small shock in her heart; Didn't he notice? He's combining his powers perfectly; is that what people call a 'genius'?

Victor went into combat again with Lacus. The red-haired vampire had a slight smile on her face as she used only her physical strength to fight. Although sometimes, she had to use her fog powers to defend herself from the flames Victor unleashed.

After all, these flames were dangerous even to her, who was a vampire that was over 400 years old.

Unlike Pepper and Ruby, Lacus didn't have the power of water or ice. However, Lacus had the power to control the mist, and she generally uses that power to confuse enemies and flee.

Small explosions can be heard when Victor and Lacus engage in combat.

”...He always seems to be at full power and never gets tired, so we decided he should get tired first.” Pepper recovered and spoke in a cute voice.

”As Lady Lacus had nothing to do, we decided she should fight Victor, but while the two of them were fighting, we found that he learns faster by fighting than explaining.” Kaguya finished explaining

”In the beginning... He wasn't managing to keep up with Lacus, but slowly, he started to get used to his body, now… He can give Lacus a decent fight; he's getting better really fast,” Kaguya said.

”As expected from my Darling!” Violet spoke with pride.

”...He reminds me a bit of my mother...” Pepper commented with her finger on her cheek as she looked at Victor, who had a big smile on his face.

”How rude, he's not crazy, and an old hag,” Violet huffed.

”That was not what I meant!” Pepper yelled, seeing that Violet ignored her, her cheeks starting to turn squirrel-like, then she turned away, ”Humpf!”

Boing! Boing!

Veins started popping in Violet and Kaguya's heads:

”This bitch... Is she teasing me?” Violet growled.

”Calm down, Lady Violet, we must not commit murder here; we must take her to a dark alley first,” Kaguya suggested with a stoic expression.

”Oh, that's a good idea.” Violet smiled dangerously.

Pepper felt a shiver in her body, and since her instincts had always been good, she decided to slowly back away from Violet and Kaguya.

”...Silently...” She whispered as she walked away.

But she didn't expect a big body to fly towards her!

”Kyaaa!” She screamed in fear as her body collided with Victor's.

”Oh... I'm sorry, sister,” Lacus said a little regretfully.

”Ouch,” Victor puts his hand on his head, ”This power to become mist is annoying” He spoke annoyed, but the smile never left his face: Every time I go to hit her, her body turns and fog, and she runs away, it's very slippery… Hmm, I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is…

Feeling a heaviness on his chest, Victor looks down and sees Pepper's red face lying on his chest.

”It's decided... I'm going to kill this one, Bitch!” Pure fire started to come out of Violet's body. When Violet was going to run towards Pepper and Victor, she was suddenly immobilized by Kaguya.

”Let go of me, Kaguya!” Violet began to struggle.

”Although the idea of ​​killing Pepper is interesting... I can't let Lady Violet do that; what just happened was clearly an accident.” Kaguya spoke in a neutral tone.

”Wawawawawa! I'm sorry—” Pepper was about to say something, but suddenly Victor stood up while holding Pepper like a princess.

”Fue…?” Pepper didn't know what to say, so she was silent as her face was completely red.

He puts Pepper on the floor and pats Pepper's clothes to dust them off, then, finishing knocking the dust off of Pepper's body, he squats down a little and puts his face level with Pepper's face. That is something he's needed to do a lot lately; being 195 cm tall has its downsides.

Then he says, smiling gently, ”Don't be too inattentive while two people are fighting, okay?” He appeared to be talking to a small child.

”… Mm.” Pepper nodded.

”Good” Soon, he gets up and looks at Lacus with eyes glowing red, his smile changed from a gentle smile to a distorted smile, ”Let's continue.”

”Yeah,” Lacus agreed.

”...” Kaguya and Violet were speechless when they saw Victor's attitude; they expected him to react differently when Pepper fell on him with those two melons, but why did he treat Pepper like a child!? For God's sake, she's over 100 years old!
