Chapter 76: Its not like theyre trying to keep secrets. (1/2)
A shadow appeared in the middle of the room at Scathach's mansion, then a maid with oriental features emerged from the shadows.
”Oh, Kaguya. You came back.”
Kaguya heard Siena's voice, then she looked at the woman:
”Yes. Where is my master?”
For some reason, Kaguya felt a pleasant itch in her heart when she said, ”My master.”
”Victor? Currently, he is on the second floor, in a room that has been assigned to him and his wives... If you follow the stairs, you can easily find him.”
”Thanks.” Kaguya made a simple gesture of thanks, then walked towards the stairs.
On the way to the stairs, she saw someone's room with the door open, and, as a responsible maid, she would close the door to give more privacy to the individuals inside the room.
When she touches the doorknob to close the door, she hears Pepper and Ruby's voice:
”Pepper, is this a new anime?”
”Oh, it's a release from last season. I don't think you've seen it, sister.”
”Hmm. A lot of things happened, and I had to train for six months...I missed two whole seasons.”
”Umu. Don't worry, as a responsible big sister, I recorded all the animes!”
”Ohhh! Good job, sister... But what is this 'Umu'?”
”Victor says that a lot when he's happy or relaxed. I thought it was cool... So I copied it.”
”... Hmm. I remember that Anna, Victor's mother, talks about that a lot too... But, you've been watching my husband a lot, huh...?”
”... F-Fue? What is that scary look!? I did nothing!”
”Nothing. Let's just watch anime.”
”Ruby... Don't become like Violet, please...”
”…” Ruby was silent.
'Well, that was interesting.' Kaguya was pleased, but realizing what she had done, she quickly shook her head several times and closed the door.
'How rude. I must not eavesdrop on others' conversations.' She thought she was being a very bad maid now.
Going up the stairs, Kaguya reached the second floor, and again, she found another room with the door open, and, like a competent maid, she had to close the bedroom door.
As she approached the room, she heard the voices of Eleonor, Lacus, Sasha, and Violet.
”I don't understand how this works….” Sasha.
”What?” Eleanor.
”That sword. It's massive and heavy; I prefer something lighter like daggers.” Sasha.
”That's because your fighting style is more focused on speed.” Violet.
”Indeed. My fighting style is more focused on strength, and, because of that, heavy weapons are better for me... But, now that I stopped to think, what is Victor's fighting style?” Eleanor.
”We don't know, but the way he easily used his sword, is he a force user? But he's pretty fast too.” Sasha.
”I wonder if he chose greatsword as his starting weapon to train with my master.” Eleanor.
”…The only sword influences in Darling's life were the movies of a barbarian he watched with his father, so I think so. He must have chosen greatsword as his first training weapon.” Violet.
”...”
”What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
”Just... Sigh.” Sasha sighed, then continued, ”Just how long have you been watching my husband?”
”A long time… A long time indeed.”
”...”
”…How can I say… would Countess Agnes be proud? After all, her daughter is just like her.” Eleonor commented in a sarcastic tone.
”Hey! West bitch! Don't bring my mother into the conversation!”
Deciding enough was enough, Kaguya closed the door.
'As expected. Stalker's blood is strong in this family...' Kaguya nodded and then started walking towards Victor's room.
How did she know it was Victor's room? Well, the name 'VICTOR'S ROOM' was written on the door. Looks like someone did it on purpose. After all, he's the only man in this mansion.
Touching Victor's doorknob, she heard Victor and Scathach's voice:
”KaKaKaKa. Did you let that little girl drink your blood? Violet better not find this out; she's going to freak out.”
”But she already knows. I had a hard time making her calmer...”
”Kakakakaka”
”Stopping to think... I remember your daughters said that vampires only drink blood from other vampires only if they are from the family or someone very close as a lover.”
”Indeed.”
”I totally forgot about that.”
