26 Chapter 26 - Day 4 (1/2)
”That is a question for another time. Right now we are focusing on you.”
”Ok. So what does our origin have to do with my training.”
”I've already given you the information.”
Seras tilts her head down in thought before raising it and showing an expression of realization.
”You understand? Although matters of the soul are precarious.”
”So how exactly are you going to train me to change my bod?”
”That's simple, I'm going to alter your appearance until you get the feeling. I'm going to really enjoy this.” He smiles widely at her as he says so.
”What?”
Seras spends the next 8 hours having her clothing changed into all sorts of ridiculous styles. There were clothes that only prostitutes would wear, clothes fit for a queen, and everything in between as well.
'How on earth does master know about bunny suits!? I understand the maid uniform, but a bunny suit!?' She yells internally as her body was literally morphed into different forms.
”We will continue this form of training until you get it Police Girl. I'm sad that when you do I'll no longer be able to have fun like this.” He goes into his coffin while saying so.
”Stupid master!” She shouts at him tiredly.
”What was that?” His voice sounds out.
”Nothing!” She covers her head with her blanket and closes her eyes.
Dawn comes and the vampires go to bed. While the Iscariot members wake up and start to search the first floor for anything that mentions the seals.
”Why on god's green earth is it so difficult to find anything!? We have been through 2 libraries and still haven't found anything useful!” Maxwell shouts in frustration while looking through another library.
”Calm down Maxwell. I'm sure the basement will have what we're looking for.” Renaldo says.
”Then why haven't we searched there first? This charade has been going on long enough!”
”Appearances. We can't just go straight to the main course without eating the appetizer!”
”He's right Maxwell. What's the fun in killing a vampire without tormenting them first?” Anderson States his views on the matter.
”I've never been one to play with my food Anderson. You should know.”
”Yeah, Enrico has never played with his food before!” Yumie has childishly.
”Be quiet! Bishop Maxwell is our boss and he deserves respect. Even if we grew up in the same orphanage.” Heinkel yells at her.
”It's ok Heinkel. You know that I don't like it when you are so professional with me.”
”That's not the point.” She huffs.
As they're all searching the first floor. Walter and Integra are in her office speaking to each other.
”Sir, shouldn't you mention to them about not entering Alucard's room?”
”I was actually just thinking about that, but if I say that wouldn't they just do the exact opposite?” She sighs tiredly.
”That's true. But if you don't say anything then the situation will end in disaster much faster.”
”God Walter. What can I do?”
”Just tell them straight up not to enter alucards room. Any situation as a result of that will be on them. Oh, and make sure to get a recording of you saying so.”
”Ok Walter, will you get them for me when they're done searching the first floor?”
”Of course sir.” Walter bows and leaves the room.
A few hours later, the Iscariots are heading to the stairs that lead to the basement.
”Finally, we're getting somewhere.”
Before Maxwell can finalize that feeling, he notices Walter walking to them.
”Bishop Maxwell, my master would like to have a word with you before you search the basement.”
”What could she want with me? She's not allowed to directly involve herself with this investigation.”
”Please.” He says ignoring that statement.
”Very well. I shall go.”
They arrive at her office soon after.
”Bishop Maxwell. I just wanted to inform you to not enter my servant's chamber. When he and I officially started our contract he made it very clear that no one shall enter his chamber without permission.”
”Part of this investigation is to search the whole of Hellsing. I can't I good conscience ignore such a prime hiding place.”
”You will heed my warning Bishop. If you set a single foot inside, I will not be responsible for what happens.” She warns him with a grim face.
”You're serious?”
”Deadly.”
Maxwell is angered by this and it shows clearly on his face.
”Very well, I will take this under advisement. Anything else you wish to inform me of?”
”Nothing at the moment.”
”Then I shall take my leave.” Maxwell leaves hurriedly to blow off some steam.
'First it's the harassment from the blonde bitch and now I'm taking orders from the ice queen herself? Hell no, I'm going into that room whether she likes it or not.'
”Anderson were going to the basement and nothing is going to stop us. Maxwell passed them before commanding.
”Now that's more like it!” Anderson smiles for the first time since getting there.
”What happened Maxwell?” Renaldo asks.
”Nothing at all.”
”.....fine.”
They search the basement for a few hours and find nothing noteworthy. They walk down a corridor until they reach double doors that is covered by a very archaic symbol.
”Finally, we found it.”
”What is this Sir?” Heinkel asks while shivering from the cold feeling emanating from the doors.
”This, my dear sister, is the room to Alucard.” he puts his hand on the door and caresses it.
”Please don't touch my door. I don't want to clean the filth that you bring with you, off of it.” Alucard's voice sounds out.
”How much filthier can it get when a demon like you lives in it?” Anderson asks sarcastically.
”Cleaner than when a perverted boy loving priest touches it. Speaking of, hows little Timmy? I'm sure he misses your daily rituals.”
”Shut up and die foul beast!” Anderson kicks open the door weapons in hand.
”Make me, Judas Priest!” Alucard gets out his hand gun as well.
They all walk in and find Alucard sitting on his throne holding out his gun ready to fire. They look around and find that his room is very big but has little to no furniture being housed inside of it.
”I didn't invite you lot inside my chambers. Now leave before I make you.”
”I'm afraid not vampire, I've been tasked by the Vatican to search this organization from top to bottom. Your room is included in that.” Maxwell speaks confidently.
”Oh?” Alucard's voice gets lower and his shadows start to extend outward in his rage.
”Master!” Seras speaks out for the first time during the standoff.
Everybody turns to her and finds her in bed still sleeping. How she spoke that loud while unconscious is beyond them but it calms Alucard down.
His shadows recede and Maxwell clicks his tongue in annoyance.
”She is still getting in my way even while she sleeps.”
”Then you shouldn't have come while we were sleeping you little man.”
”Some might say that that is the perfect time to come.”
”Who? Little Timmy?” He jokes again.
