Chapter 148: A woman who never forgets. (1/2)
”Not bad.” Victor spoke with a satisfied smile, then he chuckled in amusement, ”As expected of the wolves, you have extraordinary physiques.” Despite saying this, he'd never met a wolf before in his life... Not that he knew of, at least.
But he had heard several stories about werewolves while he was training with Scathach.
”... I'm the one who should be saying that. Aren't you a newborn vampire? What's with this absurd strength?”
Despite having stopped Victor's attack with his hand, Edward was feeling his arm trembling a lot.
”Hmm?” Victor looked at Edward with a strange look, ”What are you talking about? I didn't even put much force into that; it was just a love tap.”
”...You're kidding, right?” Tiny beads of cold sweat began to fall from Edward's face.
”You know me, I never lie.” Victor laughed. He spoke the truth. The attack he had made just then was only to test his friend since, if he had used all his strength, the entire area of effect in a straight line would have disappeared from existence, and it would have wreaked havoc in the human world.
That was something he wanted to avoid at all costs, he would not mind doing this elsewhere, but unless forced to do so, he wouldn't use that type of attack in his hometown ...
Gulp.
Edward and Leona gulped. Just how strong had he gotten in 6 months!? What did he do!?
”Why did you suddenly attack me?” Edward spoke as he released Victor's fist.
”I wanted to test you… After all, this is the first time I've seen a werewolf in person.” Victor displayed a small smile.
”...Aren't you upset that I hid this from you?”
”Umu? Of course not, everyone has their secrets, and I have no right to demand that you tell me anything. Even I have secrets.”
”...” Leona and Edward exhibited a slight smile since they knew Victor would respond like that.
”…That was amazing! It was like witnessing a scene out of an anime!” Fred's eyes were glowing with excitement.
”I want to do this too!”
”Hahaha, good to know you never change, Fred,” Victor spoke in nostalgia.
”You know me, I never change! I'm a man of culture!”
”Indeed.” Victor had a small smile as he raised his fist to Fred.
”Do you remember the sibling code?”
”...” Fred was silent, he looked at Victor's fist, and for a few seconds, he was reminded of a memory.
It was the memory of three teenagers showing their fists to each other, the sibling code of conduct was more than a promise to not be with a friend's sister.
It was a promise from three friends... Wrong, three brothers.
”Of course.” Fred flashed a small smile, and then he closed his fist and slammed it into Victor's.
”It's good to see you again, my friend.” Those were Victor's honest feelings.
”Well, I'm sorry. I don't leave the house much... Hahaha.” Fred scratched his head self-consciously.
”...” Edward exhibited a nostalgic smile as he looked at this scene and closed his eyes as he remembered the promise they made in the past. It all started as a joke, but it turned out to be something very serious over the years.
”...?” Leona and Violet did not understand what was going on. What was this aura of friendship and companionship? What is this blue aura? What the fuck is going on?
Leona and Violet looked at each other, and for a moment, the two women could understand each other even though they hadn't said anything; their thoughts were simple:
'Boys are weird.'
Victor took his fist away and said, ”Hey, how did you find out about this world?”
”Oh, a hot Japanese milf who claimed to be a hunter appeared and told me that I was the chosen one and that a holy spear chose me, or something.”
… He completely distorted what Mizuki said…
”...Japanese milf?” Victor put his hand on his chin and started to think. He remembered seeing a woman like that in the past.
”Yes, she said that for me to become a hunter, she should throw her holy liquids at me! Those divine sacred liquids! But she ran away!” Fred was quite disappointed.
He wanted to bathe with the sacred liquids and become strong!
”Sacred liquids...?” Victor didn't understand and looked at Edward.
”That thing.” Edward made some hand gestures.
”Oh... Are all hunters perverts...?” Somehow Victor's opinion of hunters just went down and down.
”…” Violet and Leona had stoic expressions on their faces, but it was visible that the two women's ears were a bit red. They couldn't understand how Fred could say something like that out loud.
Crack, Crack!
Everyone heard the noise of something breaking, and they looked at the entrance to the door, and in the doorway, they saw a Japanese woman wearing a scary smile.
She was staring at Fred with a distinctly murderous expression.
”Hiii!” Fred hid behind the counter, ”She's back! That milf! That hot milf!” Important things must be said twice!
”Oh, you were the one he was talking about.” Victor displayed a slight smile that showed all of his sharp teeth.
He clearly remembered Mizuki.
Mizuki assumed a neutral expression as she opened the door and entered:
She looked at Victor and said, ”I'm really surprised you've grown so much in just six months... As expected, I should have killed you that day.”
”Hahahaha~ I'm hard to kill, you know?” Victor's eyes glowed blood red.
”...” Leona, Violet, Edward, and even Fred looked at Mizuki with a hostile look. They didn't like what they heard.
”Yes, I know.” Mizuki spoke coldly, and she added, ”I think introductions are necessary.”
”My name is Mizuki, and I am one of the generals of The Inquisition organization.”
She showed a disdainful smile:
”It is a great displeasure to meet you, Count Alucard.”
”Oh?” Victor's smile grew even more expansive; he liked Mizuki's bold attitude.
”...Huh?” Leona and Edward thought they had heard something wrong.
...
The Lost Club
In Madam's office.
”Tell me about the business.” The witch sat in her personal chair and got straight to the point since she didn't want to waste time on a pointless conversation.
