It was opened quickly…

Blue Heart Office Emergency Response Committee!

That being said, it’s just me, Sylvia, Johnny, Badek, and a few other solvers.

There were even some solvers who were finally able to make a clear statement.

Adem, a goblin who usually guards the office.

And when I, Sylvia, Johnny, and Badek took on the abandoned factory request, three people were carrying out other requests.

Lizardman Dathihi, human David, and orc Astoby.

Meanwhile, what caught my attention was not the Lizardman Datihi, but the Orc Astobi.

Strangely enough, she is an Orc woman… Are Orcs like that?

Although he had a stocky physique, he was taller than Johnny, the black orc.

The blunt weapon in his hand stood out with his determination to crush anything he could catch.

Are you saying a weapon like that is a flail? A weapon like the Pyeongon used during the Joseon Dynasty.

But now, the thing at the end had sharp thorns sticking out like a morning star.

In an age where magic and guns are prevalent, trying to compete with pure physical strength and cold-blooded weapons that are just as vicious as they look.

Isn’t this completely romantic?

Well, I thought it was because the enemy’s long-distance attacks could be easily dealt with with a portable force field sprayer.

“Silvia, why did we call you?”

“Still, I’m glad everyone came because I called.”

“Hahahaha!”

When Astoby asked why everyone was called to the office, Sylvia suddenly said something strange.

Johnny, who was next to her, laughed heartily at her tone, as if she was filled with emotion.

“Ah, that’s because of me.”

“Is it because of Chris?”

Adem asked in response to my answer.

Now that I think about it, it seemed like I had seen Datihi and David before when they were fighting with hyenas.

I’m not sure about Adem and Astoby, though.

Since the goblin was a common Cabrini green, it would not have been easy to recognize Adem even if he were there.

On the other hand, given Astoby’s enormous presence, it was highly likely that it did not exist at all.

“Silvia, should I talk to you?”

“It would be better since Chris is the one involved.”

While Sylvia and I were talking, the attention of the Blue Heart Office fixers was focused on me.

“I’ll only say it once. So everyone, listen carefully.”

I boldly omitted the story about going shopping with Sylvia.

Instead, what happened to Martin at the bar during that time?

What did the two priests who came to see me suggest?

Only the essential parts were carefully selected and explained. In my opinion.

“Wait a minute, the subtitle’s name is Malcolm?”

“Yeah, why is that?”

Adem was the first to react.

Then I started searching for a vampire hunter with a subtitle named Malcolm.

“You don’t even know the last name?”

“Ah, Hest. It was Malcolm Hest.”

***

In response to my response, Adem began searching using the name Malcolm Hest.

Meanwhile, Sylvia came next to me and whispered in my ear.

“Chris, how do you know that?”

“Oh, there is a way.”

“Are you hiding something from me?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

I’m sorry to Sylvia, but this part couldn’t be helped.

I have a status window that I broke with my right hand and a gargoyle ate the powder. If I shout out loud, tell me the other person’s name!

How can you say…

“Found it!”

As Adem spoke, other solvers gathered around him.

It was the same for me and Sylvia.

However, it was difficult to see because it was obscured by the bodies and sizes of the other solvers.

To begin with, I’m relatively short right now, right?

Of course, there was a way.

I quickly transformed into my baby bat form and climbed onto Astoby’s head.

Since she was the tallest, there was no one more suitable than her when it came to securing high ground.

“Silvia, Chris. Is this face right?”

“Uh, that’s right! It was definitely a face like that.”

Adem asked, showing me a picture of a priest.

Frank Homewood, a vampire hunter who is assisted by a deacon named Malcolm Hest.

Since priests in the Dream City worldview usually drop their last names when they become priests, it was okay to just call them Frank.

In that respect, seeing as Malcolm’s name appeared as a surname earlier… I wondered if the name that could be known as his common name was the name he had at birth.

So, Youngmin also came out under the name Ray.

“Isn’t this gentleman a bit famous?”

“How much?”

“He is famous among vampire hunters.”

When I asked Johnny, Astoby answered for me.

“Among vampire hunters, I think I am a bit extreme. The number of vampires subjugated exceeds four digits…”

“What, you’re so crazy?”

No, there are degrees of extremism.

I heard the hostility between the church and vampires is over?

Because of that history, I wondered if Deacon Malcolm was horrified by Sylvia’s threats.

“It sounds like it’s perfect for the role of catching vampires.”

“I’m a vampire too…”

I responded to David’s words in a despondent voice.

“Chris is fine.”

Sylvia comforted me by stroking me.

No, I wasn’t particularly scared or anything.

Our conversation continued even as Adem continued to search for information.

“Silvia, if you are that skilled, I think it would be better to just get help.”

“No, I think differently.”

Astoby immediately responded to Lizardman Datihi’s opinion.

***

“If you get help from a guy like that, the guys who move next will be at the same level as those guys. It’s clear.”

“That’s right. In the first place, we will only kill those who come our way, so next time we will only send stronger ones.”

That was Astoby and Johnny’s argument.

Listening to the two people, it certainly seemed like the problem could become more serious if they received help from vampire hunter Frank.

“But… you can’t say something like this won’t happen again.”

“Silvia is right. Martin was lucky this time and wasn’t hurt, but how long can luck stay with us?”

Meanwhile, David agreed with Sylvia’s opinion.

Badek and Adem were silent.

“Then what should we do?”

“What if you ask for help from the church instead of that vampire hunter?”

“Um….”

David answered Johnny’s question. But that didn’t seem right.

Since the hostile relationship with the vampire has ended, it feels like there is no need to touch it.

“What do you think about Chris?”

After several conversations, it was my turn again.

“….”

I crossed my arms for a moment and began to gather my thoughts.

Then Sylvia suggested a compromise to the other solvers.

“Instead of accepting their offer, why not relax the conditions?”

“For example?”

“We only call and help Chris when we need it.”

In response to Astoby’s question, Sylvia gave an example.

“Then you can respond only after the problem occurs.”

David responded that it seemed like an unusual method.

At this point, I felt like I had missed the right time to react, so I decided to just stay still.

Meanwhile, Adem was still looking for information about the vampire hunter Frank.

Wow, what is this?

Your career is quite impressive.

“What is this nickname?”

“Why is that?”

Adele responded by pricking her straight ears.

I felt like I had seen Vampire Hunter Frank’s nickname… somewhere.

Out of curiosity, I headed to the comment section of the video where I was filmed.

“Wow, what is it? Was this person that person?”

“This comment was written by this author?”

Adem reacted as if there was nothing else to do, and I thought the same thing.

No, I was wondering if the church wasn’t entrusting me with the job since they were killing vampires wherever they went.

Otherwise, vampires aren’t that stupid, so they take care of themselves.

Meanwhile, the dispute between the resolvers continued.

“Sister, I think it needs to be sorted out soon.”

Badek said as he came next to me and Adem.

“Okay.”

***

“Everyone pay attention!”

In my bat form, I climbed onto Astoby’s head again.

“Why does it keep getting on my head?”

“That’s because Astoby is the tallest!”

After giving a brave answer to Astoby, I said that it would be better to follow Sylvia’s opinion.

“Accept Frank’s offer, but only help when we call?”

“Yes, at least it seems like a compromise of everyone’s opinions.”

I don’t know about Johnny, but Astoby and David seemed a little dissatisfied.

Since a compromise means both parties giving up a little bit, it may not be satisfactory to everyone.

But Silvia and Datich agreed, and Badek also joined them.

It seemed like he was planning to end any further arguments.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do.”

Astoby and David eventually decided to follow once the trend was set.

Meanwhile, Adem seemed to be still searching for something.

“Actually… if you think about it, I think it’s better to have one stalker than dozens of stalkers, right?”

“Sister, what is that metaphor? Hahahaha!”

Johnny started laughing as if he liked my honest impressions.

No, I meant it!

Afterwards, I asked Datich, David, and Astoby about the commission they had undertaken.

To be honest, the abandoned factory request we completed was a mess.

“Us? It wasn’t that difficult.”

“So what happened?”

Astoby dragged on as if he was deliberately avoiding answering my question.

It felt like they were drugging me.

“Don’t do that, just tell me quickly!”

“It was to help catch the sky whale.”

“Sky whale?!”

Hey, speaking of Dream City’s worldview, it’s like a whale in the sky.

Now that I think about it, I also remembered seeing something moving beyond the clouds when I first came to this city.

Could it be that he was also a sky whale?

As my eyes began to shine, David corrected me.

“To be exact, it was to help whalers. It’s not about catching a sky whale.”

“Are the two different?”

“That’s right. Because we just guarded around the whalers.”

Does it feel like you’re just watching from the side?

Well, still, the sight of catching a sky whale was an amazing sight in the game, so I guess it wasn’t a bad thing.

“Silvia, are there any more requests like that?”

“As Chris knows, catching a sky whale is not easy.”

That’s right….

Anyway, I was able to decide on an answer to give to the two priests who would visit in a few days.
