Chapter 64: Do you want it? (1/2)
Lucy base.
”Are you happy now, Karen?” Lucy spoke with a calm face.
”Yeah yeah.” Though Karen's face was smiling, veins throbbing in her head could be seen.
”Nice job hiring a mercenary to do an important task... Wow, good job! You really are a genius! Einstein would be embarrassed to know that there is anyone with such a large amount of IQ.” She started to clap her hands.
”…You don't need to talk like that. Johnny is trustworthy.”
A vein popped in Karen's head, she hits the table with a crash and screams:
”IN WHICH WORLD IS A MERCENARY TRUSTWORTHY!?
”…” Lucy puts his hand to his ear. Her voice was so loud that his senses were overwhelmed for a few seconds.
”Take easy, Take easy, Karen. Johnny is trustworthy; I can promise you that. I've worked with him a few times, and he won't say anything.”
”…” Karen was almost bursting with rage again.
Sigh!
She sighs and looks at Lucy with cold eyes.
”You know what? I'm done!” Karen left the office.
”Huh?”
”W-Wait! What will you do!?” Lucy got up from his chair and ran after Karen.
”I will speed up the ritual. We have all the necessary ingredients, and the only thing left that we need is the blood of a noble vampire,” She takes a vial of blood and shows it to Lucy.
”And I already have that ingredient.”
”But what about me?”
”Fuck you,” Karen held up her middle finger at Lucy,
”You never listen to me! Just get another vial of noble vampire blood.” Karen's instincts were tingling like crazy, she had a feeling that if she didn't rush the ritual, she would never be able to complete what she wanted so badly.
”Eh?” Lucy didn't expect this answer; he puts a hand on his chin; 'I pissed her off that much?'
”Boss!” A vampire ran beside Lucy.
”What?” Lucy looked at his subordinate.
”They are here! The noble vampires!”
”...Huh...?” Lucy's face went paler than should be possible for a vampire.
...
Looking at a coffin that was covered in blood, Karen picks up the vial and pours the contents of the vial into the coffin.
When the contents inside the vial fell into the bloody coffin, the magic circle under the coffin began to glow crimson red. Seeing this, Karen said, ”Sucess.”
Soon she starts to undress, and after taking off her clothes and becoming the way she came into the world, she enters the coffin:
”With this, I will be reborn.” She lies down in the blood and closes the coffin.
The moment she closed the coffin, the magic circle grew and covered the entire room, and soon the crimson light that was emanating from the magic circle grew stronger. If anyone entered the room, they wouldn't be able to see anything because of the light that was entirely blurring their vision.
...
Lucy was walking briskly along his base, ”This is too soon! This is too soon! This is too soon! That wasn't the deal!”
”Where are they!?” He yelled as he opened the hall door.
”Kakakaka, Hello, Lucy~” Lucy looked at the man.
He had messy black hair, pale skin, red eyes, and a creepy smiling expression on his face; the first impression Lucy had of this man was that he had several screws loose in his head...
”Einer Horseman, you're early.”
”Yeah~, my twin brother and I were looking forward to coming to the human world, you know?” He started laughing again as if he found something funny.
”He doesn't seem to be anxious,” Lucy said, and then he looked at the other man who was sitting on the couch while drinking blood from a teacup.
Like Einer, this man looked similar to the younger twin, the only difference being that he dressed more politely, and his hair was straight.
Bright blood-red eyes, pale skin, shoulder-length straight black hair, and an expression that showed disinterest in everything.
He was a man who had impeccable noble etiquette, but at the same time, he seemed to be dead inside. That was Lucy's impression of this man.
”Zwei Horseman...” Lucy didn't know what to say, unlike the younger brother who was easy to talk to, this man was simply impossible to understand what he was thinking.
The man looks at Lucy and nods, ”Hello,” He spoke in a dry tone, then he turned his face and started drinking his tea.
”Kakakaka, ignore my brother, you know how he is, it may not look like it, but he's anxious, right?” Einer appears beside Zwei and forces a smile on his face, ”See?”
”…” Lucy didn't know how to react when he saw Zwei's blank expression.
Einer lets go of his brother's face, ”Let's talk business...”
Everyone could feel a little pressure coming from underground.
”Oh?” Einer displayed a curious face.
”Below,” Zwei spoke and drank the tea again; he didn't look interested.
”Looks like you guys rushed through the ritual,” Einer spoke with the same goofy grin on his face.
