The day after the emergency response committee meeting.

Frank the vampire hunter and Malcolm the deacon came right away.

“…What is it?”

“It’s us?”

Malcolm responded as if he was puzzled as I reacted to the two people in the form of a baby bat.

“No, it’s not that you don’t know that! They said it would come in a few days?!”

“Do you know that? A few days include tomorrow.”

“Ah!”

It’s going to spin, really!

It seemed that not only Frank but also Malcolm was in his right mind.

“What’s the point of standing still? Let’s move first.”

“If someone sees it, they will think you are the owner.”

“This way.”

Despite my tackling, Sylvia guided the two without any problem.

I climbed on top of Sylvia’s head with a dissatisfied expression.

-widely.

As soon as Sylvia closed the door, Frank and Malcolm sat down on chairs in the inner space.

“So what is the little lady’s answer?”

“Priest, it’s Chris, not the little girl.”

The two didn’t look nervous at all.

“Hmm… I thought about it a bit.”

“….”

But as soon as I opened my mouth, the two people focused on me without saying anything.

“I will accept your offer. Instead, there is one condition.”

“…What conditions?”

Frank’s expression didn’t change at all. Malcolm, on the other hand, looked like he was okay with it.

“If something happens, we will call you.”

“….”

As soon as Malcolm heard Sylvia’s answer, he looked at Frank’s reaction.

“Then we wouldn’t be able to respond in an emergency.”

Sure enough.

Frank rejected our terms because they were not efficient.

“What, were you planning on sticking with me the whole time?”

“Of course. Because it’s efficient.”

No, I think you’re a better person than I thought, but do you really have time left?

It was a long-awaited conclusion reached with the office’s problem solvers.

“Then it’s okay to watch from the side, but we’ll decide the distance.”

“….”

Frank didn’t react much to what I said.

Are you willing to give up that much? Or is it just that there is no way to guess?

“How about 1 mile?”

“Are you kidding me?”

I was equally surprised by the 1 mile that Sylvia suggested.

By the way, since this is an American game, the American unit system was also used.

The imperial-pound method seemed to be a truly sinful unit system.

“Oh, of course 1 mile is a joke. How about about 100m? So much so that it can be seen from far away.”

“….”

“Priest. I think that’s reasonable, so I’ll just accept it.”

“But even 100m is inefficient…”

Suddenly Malcolm began to show his approval of my suggestion.

If you think about it… you’ve always shown yourself suffering from Frank before.

In fact, even 100m was a bit difficult, but the house on the second floor has a transparent force field installed so that the space inside the force field is not visible.

There is nothing that can interfere with my and Sylvia’s privacy!

Of course, if you leave the house, things will be different.

But having a vampire hunter who eliminated four-digit number of vampires stand guard around me… honestly, it was reassuring.

“….”

When Frank looked worried, Malcolm responded as if he was frustrated.

“Priest! Let’s just do this in moderation. Hypotheses and all, they were all just false.”

“…Okay, let’s do that.”

With Malcolm’s help, we were somehow able to reach a compromise.

Of course, Malcolm seemed to be still angry and kept nagging Frank about what would happen if the church found out about this.

“Well, now that we’re done talking, I want you to get out of here.”

Sylvia was going to get the two people out of this space, one way or another.

Since we had agreed to reach a compromise, there was no reason to keep these two here.

***

Right after the two left the bar.

Silvia and I left the bar with Martin and Johnny and headed to the Blue Heart office.

“Heavy rain!”

I flew over Astoby’s head with a strange sound.

Of course, in the same baby bat form as before.

“Huh?”

“Wow, the view is nice. Is it because Astoby is the tallest?”

Needless to say, it was bigger than Johnny the Black Orc.

The difference between her and Sylvia was almost one head… and it was almost meaningless to compare her to me.

“What, it’s always on Sylvia’s head.”

“Well, sometimes things are like this.”

David said, pushing up his dark glasses.

“It’s not a bat, it’s a migratory bird.”

“What?”

Migratory bird true bird, migratory bird blood stock. I felt like my nickname had increased somehow.

I glared at David to punish him.

Then, mosquitoes, unknown where they came from, began to slowly appear.

“What is it? Why are you suddenly a mosquito?”

David moved to avoid the mosquitoes that were persistently targeting him, but it was in vain.

“Chris, it’s okay to bully, but it shouldn’t be too much, right?”

“Yes!”

The act of harassing David is okay!

When I answered Sylvia in a cheerful voice, Astoby laughed out loud.

“Well, anyway, let’s all gather here.”

At the direction of the director, Sylvia, Adem, Astoby, and David all gathered.

“What, Badek and the lizard?”

“Chris, it’s not a lizard, it’s a datihi.”

Ah, was it that kind of name….

Why is it so difficult to remember people’s names?

“Badek is probably drinking at the bar.”

“I don’t know about Datihi, but.”

Adem and David guessed about the whereabouts of Badek and Datihi, respectively.

“Well, you can tell it to me later.”

Sylvia began to talk about Frank and Martin.

The two people came today, not a few days later.

Frank immediately rejected our compromise, so we had no choice but to reach another compromise.

“So what happened?”

“Although we no longer call whenever we need to… we decided to watch Chris from a distance of about 100m.”

“Yeah, that might be better.”

David, who had originally been on the side of accepting Frank’s proposal, responded positively.

Meanwhile, Astoby did not express any particular dissatisfaction.

Is it because it already happened anyway?

“So… is that vampire hunter still watching?”

“Wouldn’t it be so?”

Sylvia responded to Astoby’s words while looking around.

I also looked through the window above Astoby’s head, but couldn’t find Frank.

“Well, I don’t think he’s someone who can be stopped even if we try to stop him. I think it would be better to just think of yourself as having a reliable bodyguard.”

“To put it nicely, it’s a bodyguard. To put it badly, he’s a stalker that you can’t do anything about.”

“That’s right. A stalker who has nothing to do with it.”

When I responded to Adem’s words, Astoby agreed.

Then, seemingly embarrassed, Adem suddenly showed us a video.

I thought they were trying to change the topic, but… it was a video of an area near Silver Side.

Although it was a sight seen from far away, the video showed numerous rats swarming throughout the building.

A group of people who appeared to be problem solvers confronted the rats, but it was not enough.

As the rats attacked from all directions, the solvers were swept away like sand before a wave.

“What, are the mice here really that big?”

“Of course not. The rat he controls is big.”

When I looked closely, I noticed that the size of the rat was unusual.

David responded to my reaction by waving his hand.

“Maguspol’s rats are usually about this size.”

Meanwhile, Silvia personally showed me an estimate of the size of Maguspol’s mouse with both hands.

At that size, it didn’t seem like there was much difference from rats in the real world.

“Ah.”

The more I thought about it, the more I wished I had caught that white rat in the first place.

At the time, I had no idea it would become such a big problem!

“Now that I think about it, it seems like the cat mom was also affected?”

“What?! Really?”

In my response, Adem mentioned that the Silver Side’s cat mom base is in the northern part of the Silver Side.

“Rats are increasingly coming to the northern part of the Silver Side.”

“I don’t know if Silas will be okay.”

“You can contact them at any time, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to ask.”

***

Sylvia took out the terminal and contacted the cat mom on the silver side.

It wasn’t a call, but it seemed like a text message.

But the reply came faster than expected.

-widely.

I again changed positions from Astoby’s head to Silvia’s head.

“What, what does cat mom say?”

“Fortunately, Silas appears to be safe.”

Sylvia responded very calmly to my urgent urging.

Phew… that’s good news.

Since I hadn’t even seen Scylla’s human form yet, it was too bad to say goodbye already.

“But it looks like Ezra is dead.”

Ah, that’s not good news.

Ezra, one of Cat Mom’s two cats who carried out the request with me, is dead.

Although I wasn’t as interested as Silas, I decided to take a moment for silence.

“What are you doing in bat form?”

“Noisy. I’m meditating right now.”

As she was meditating as a baby bat above Sylvia’s head, David asked what it was doing.

After finishing my meditation, I asked Sylvia.

“Silvia, things seem to be going differently than what you said last time.”

Sylvia’s plan was to wait and see and handle other requests while the solvers were busy with the rats.

However, there were no requests for us… and it felt like the damage caused by the rats was gradually spreading to us.

“Sometimes even monkeys fall from trees.”

“What if I fall from the first tree…”

“From Chris’s perspective, it may be the first tree, but from my perspective, it is not the first tree?”

Sylvia did not give in to my words at all.

I got a little upset and patted Sylvia’s head with the two cute baby bat wings.

“If you are the director of an office, you should act like a director!”

“I have never done anything unbecoming of a director.”

evil! You’re doing it now!

“Ah, Sylvia.”

At that moment, Adem showed us his laptop.

Since he was in charge of the office, it seemed that Adem was the first to check requests for our office.

A request requesting help from the Blue Heart Office along with the client’s name.

“Who is that person?”

“Olivia is a silver side cat mom.”

Oh, is that person a cat mom?

If you just hear the word cat mom, it might seem a bit eccentric, but it was a more normal name than you thought.

That person is Sheila’s mother…

“So are you going to accept that request?”

“Looking at the speed at which the rat swarm is spreading around, it seems like it will only be a matter of time before it reaches central Silver Side.”

“You want to stop them in the north before they come to us?”

“Yes, it can be said to help cat moms and be good for us in many ways.”

Sylvia nodded her head in response to Astoby’s question.

“But then all of our offices are going?”

“I think Adem can stay in the office.”

“That’s right, one person has to stay.”

“Phew….”

When Sylvia and David answered my question, Adem breathed a sigh of relief.

Apparently, Adem didn’t have much confidence in the actual battle. Should I say I have the constitution for an office job?

Anyway, if all the problem solvers from our office go…

Me, Silvia, Johnny, Badek, Astoby, David, Datihi.

There were seven people in total.

I can’t say it was large, but considering that everyone except me was retired troubleshooters, it didn’t seem like a bad force.

***

For now, we decided to accept a request from Silver Side Cat Mom.

Preparations are in full swing to deal with the swarm of rats coming to the northern part of Silver Side.

After leaving work at the bar with Sylvia, I turned on the TV as soon as I got home to the second floor of the building.

Then, news was coming out that a sage from the East had ordered a large-scale rat swarm outbreak and nearby offices to suppress the rat swarm.

“…Silvia?”

“I’m listening too.”

As I was watching the news more calmly, it seemed like the offices that managed the adjacent regions were essentially participating.

Then, I wondered if Youngmin and the rest of the office were being forced to participate in the extermination of the rats.

While my attention was occupied with the news, I heard a familiar sound.

The place where the sound came from was Sylvia’s terminal.

“….”

“Silvia, what’s wrong?”

“It looks like Mr. Ilseong has returned.”

It seemed that the director of the Ildong office had finally returned.

By the way, every time I listened to it, I felt like I was reminded of inspiration.

“Then I think it would be better to move together with the Ildong office?”

“Yes, I think the same way.”

This was a bit funny because it was like a group of troubleshooters rushing to catch the rats.

However, I thought it would be an opportunity to see the skills of our office’s problem solvers and see Youngmin’s skills as well.

Perhaps we can also see the skills of the director, Ilseong?

Sylvia seemed to have the same thoughts as me, so she immediately called everyone’s office.

While our director was on the phone, I continued to check the news.

I didn’t know there might be more information that would be helpful!
