Chapter 165: My Maid. (1/2)
”...Huh?” Kaguya was sure she had misheard, and her world began to spin as she put her hand on her head as if she had a bad headache, while she took a deep breath and asked:
”What did you say...?” She even forgot to call Victor 'Master' for a moment, because she was just so shocked by what she had just heard!
”You've slept for 700 years, my Maid.” He repeated in the same tone of voice.
”...” Kaguya opened her mouth wide. She couldn't believe she had wasted 700 years of her life sleeping! Even for a 700-year-old vampire, that was a long time!
She could have done so many things! She could have trained! She could have gotten stronger! She could have witnessed her master's progress!
She couldn't believe she wasted all that time sleeping like a vegetable!
She could not accept this cruel fate!
”…” As if a supernatural entity had cut off all sound, the surrounding environment fell into pure silence.
”... Pfft...Hahahahaha, your face is priceless, my Maid.” Finally, Victor couldn't take it anymore and laughed.
Seeing Victor laughing a lot in her face, Kaguya understood that he was joking, and somehow she couldn't help but feel irritated and embarrassed.
”M-Master!”
”Hahahahahah!” Victor laughed even harder when he saw Kaguya's troubled face.
”Do not laugh!” She really wanted to hit Victor right now! How dare he play this kind of joke on her! For a moment, she actually thought she had wasted 700 years of her life!
She almost had a heart attack!
”You only slept for 7 days, my Maid,” Victor spoke the truth now.
Sigh.
Kaguya sighed in relief.
Kaguya lowered her arms to her side in an attempt to sit up, but Victor spoke in a serious tone:
”Stay down.” It was a tone that did not allow for refusal.
”...Yes.” She was pretty tame when Victor spoke seriously.
She wasn't used to seeing her master like this since he usually talked to her while he had a small, amused smile on his face.
”We need to talk.” Victor's voice was so serious that it caused Kaguya a bit of discomfort.
”...” Kaguya remained silent and waited for Victor's next words. Her heart was beating so fast, she wanted to know if she had done something wrong for Victor to act so seriously.
'I didn't make a mistake, right? I'm not getting fired, right!?' She was very worried.
”Kaguya...-” Victor was going to say something to Kaguya, but suddenly something caught his attention.
'Hmm?' Victor looked to the side towards a wall; 'this feeling...' Victor's eyes start to glow blood red, turning his world to shades of red, and soon he can see beyond the wall.
His vision widened as he caught sight of four women with silhouettes he recognized well. Strangely, these women seemed to be carrying various types of weapons like swords, spears, shields, axes.
One of the women turned her face and looked at him, and the woman didn't seem to be in a good mood.
”... Fuck.” Victor couldn't help but mumble while facepalming. He was so worried about Kaguya that he completely forgot about this 'little' misunderstanding he caused.
Victor looked at Ruby like he was trying to say something really hard.
Ruby raised her eyebrow, ”Do you want me to leave?” She completely misunderstood Victor's look and thought that Victor wanted her to leave the room so he could talk to Kaguya alone.
”Scathach just arrived.” Victor dropped the bomb.
”...Huh?” Ruby opened her mouth and didn't seem to register Victor's words.
When Victor's words register in Ruby's brain:
”What-.” She was about to say something, but Victor interrupted, saying:
”And she didn't come alone.” He spoke in a neutral tone as if that wasn't his problem:
”She brought all your sisters, and if that wasn't enough, she also brought a lot of weapons. It looks like she's prepared to go to war.”
”... Eh?” This time Ruby was very shocked since she knew Victor wasn't lying. After all, he wouldn't joke about something like that.
Or would he? In fact, she didn't know! Her husband's personality was so random at times!
Sometimes she just wanted a book that had the title: 'Read This and Understand Your Husband.'
She thought that no matter the price, she would definitely buy this book.
… In fact, all the men wanted this book too, but with a slightly different title: 'Read This to Understand Women'… This book would definitely be over 10,000 pages long.
”She is probably furious.” Victor felt that with Scathach's current mood, the woman would really burn the world down this time.
Ruby narrowed her eyes, ”...Darling, what did you do?”
”Hmm…” Victor turned his face and scratched his cheek a little, ”I kind of got in touch with her, and I told her my wife was being hunted by the hunters…”
”…” An uncomfortable silence fell around, the silence so uncomfortable that Victor really wanted to leave this room right now.
”…Question…” Ruby put her finger to her brow like she was having a migraine now, ”Did you specify which wife you were talking about?”
After all, he had three wives, and if he just says, 'Hey, Mother-in-law. My wife is being hunted by hunters! Let's kill them!'
Scathach could get it wrong, right?
He definitely didn't speak in a way that would cause misunderstandings, right?
Right?
”...” Victor didn't answer Ruby's question, he just stayed silent, and that was all the answer Ruby needed to know.
”Darling...” Ruby really felt like strangling Victor now. Just what kind of trouble did he cause!
An angry Scathach is far worse than causing an international incident!
”...” Kaguya was silent, she remembered hearing something like that when she was in Victor's shadow, but at the time, she was so weak that she didn't really care.
”RUBY, COME HERE!!!” Scathach's booming voice echoed throughout the basement.
”...Oh, Shit.” Ruby was sweating a little cold now, she knew that tone of voice from her mother.
”...Yes, she is definitely furious.” Victor displayed a small smile.
”Stop laughing! This is your fault! Why did you say that kind of thing to her!?” Ruby screamed in frustration. She knew damn well that when Scathach was angry, she was just like Victor!
In fact, she might even be worse than him!
