Ahant Aquatic Biology Research Institute.

The lab was related to a quest that was quite impressive in the Dream City game.

“Just tell it to Sylvia, right?”

“Uh, that’s fine. Other data was sent to the director’s terminal.”

Now that I think about it, since when did Adem politely refer to Sylvia as director?

I wondered if it was because my attempt to escape failed and I was locked in the office.

“Okay, then hang up!”

I hung up the phone quickly and told Lund that I would go to the bar downstairs.

“Do whatever you want.”

“Yes!”

After hearing Lund’s answer, I waved my arms around and headed toward the entrance.

But before I could even leave the front door, the door opened.

“…Huh?”

What appeared before my eyes was…!

Eslok looks like a giant mole holding his cat Scylla.

“Chris!”

“Wow!”

It seemed that Silla had also mastered the art of sticking to the other person’s face.

Silas, who had flung herself from Eslok’s soft wrist, was now latched onto my face and refused to let go.

“Sila!”

That’s how it comes out, right?!”

“…Huh?”

When I transformed into the form of a baby bat, Scylla fell straight from the air onto the floor of the entrance.

“Yay!”

My subsequent surprise attack resulted in Silas receiving back what he had done a moment ago.

“eup! Eup-eup.”

I stuck to Sheila’s face and didn’t fall off.

“…What is all this about?”

It seemed that Lund, who was in the main room, noticed the commotion in the entrance and came over.

“There is such a thing!”

To others, it may seem like a bullshit fight, but from the perspective of the parties involved, it is an extremely serious fight!

When it came close to Scylla’s face in a manner reminiscent of a face hugger, Scylla was quite embarrassed and began to lie down.

“Stay still!”

“@#$@@#!”

“What are you saying?!”

Now that I think about it, Napoleon said this.

‘Don’t fight one enemy too often, it will teach you all the strategies.’ That’s it.

What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?

In a split second, Silas transformed her body into a beast.

Suddenly, I went from a cat’s face to a prisoner’s face, and in an instant, I tightened my grip on the cute wings.

“Come out quickly!”

***

Scylla, who now has human limbs, took me off easier than I thought.

“Ugh! Oppose violence!”

It seemed like Scylla’s attacks would continue… but Scylla had returned to her cat form again.

I also naturally landed on Scylla’s head.

Squeeze. Lund, who was watching the scene, was dumbfounded as he acted as if the uproar just moments ago had never happened.

“Hello!”

Silas confidently shouted to Lund while being squeezed by me above her head.

“Okay, nice to meet you.”

Lund must have liked Scylla’s attitude and deliberately bent down.

She bent down like that and immediately her hand went to Silas’ back.

“Lund, this is Sila. And Scylla, this is Lund.”

Naturally, I introduced them to each other.

“Sila? It’s not a bad name.”

It felt like Lund’s words were limited to pets.

“First of all, it’s our office mascot!”

“Really?”

“Um… maybe?”

I thought that if the mascot for Sylvia’s bar was me and Eslok, then the mascot for the Blue Heart Office would be Sila.

“Anyway, I’m going to work at our office here at Silver Side Cat Mom.”

“So this kid is also a problem solver?”

“I’m not an official solver, but… can’t I say that?”

There is only one way for Silas to officially become a problem solver.

After completely mastering the art of beastman painting, he becomes a true beastman.

After that, I will be able to become a formal problem solver through the apprenticeship process I went through.

‘Well, considering the amount of time Scylla can turn into a beast, it won’t be a story in the near future.’

While I was concentrating on idle thoughts, Lund was stroking Scylla’s back and then her stomach.

‘Wow, I can’t believe that a water cat likes having its belly touched so much.’

I thought Silas might actually be a dog, not a cat.

No, even dogs wouldn’t be that friendly.

“Ah, Eslok. Wait a minute.”

“Yes.”

Meanwhile, Eslok, who was watching all this with a happy fatherly smile, was called.

“How is Sylvia?”

“You seem to have calmed down to some extent now.”

“Okay, then tell me this.”

I whispered various things in Eslok’s ear.

Not only do I want to convey to Sylvia what Adem delivered, but I also ask her to tell her that he will keep his promise to Lina.

I was thinking of asking Lund to help find Tina, who must have headed south of the city.

However, I couldn’t blindly ask for something like that. In the end, timing is everything!

***

As soon as I finished my story, Eslok went back out the front door and down the stairs.

“Now, let’s go inside.”

At my words, Lund naturally hugged Scylla, and I, who was on top of Scylla’s head, were also moved together.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I have something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“What does Lund transform into?”

Each vampire’s transformation is different.

It is quite possible to change into another form by consuming power, but every vampire has a unique transformation form.

“….”

“A wolf?”

Lund’s transformation in the Dream City game was a white wolf.

No, I think there was a more accurate name… but it was clear that it was a large white wolf.

“It looks like you did some research on me.”

“Me?”

“My transformed appearance is not that of a wolf.”

Lund’s expression and voice were like a teacher declaring a wrong answer to a student.

“Then show it to me!”

What appears against this is Sheila, who plays the role of a curious student!

“That’s right, show me!”

“Show me!”

“Wait, both of you, stop….”

Sila and I attacked Lund as if competing.

Scylla stuck to Lund’s abdomen, and this time I stuck to Lund’s face like a sticky rice cake.

If this happens, Lund will have no other choice!

Sure enough, I went through the same experience I had with Sheila earlier.

Obviously, I went from the face of a vampire who lived more than 100 years ago to the face of a large wolf.

“Wow, it’s fluffy.”

“Are you satisfied now?”

“What, it’s a wolf after all!”

Lund, who had turned into a wolf, frowned at my words while in his wolf form.

“I didn’t just turn into a wolf.”

“Huh? Then what is it?”

“It’s a white dire wolf.”

“Hwadaul?”

As I blurted out my words, Lund swept the blade from above my head with his right foot.

“Chris!”

“Aaagh!”

It was Scylla who attacked me as I came down from Lund’s head.

Can a baby bat resist a cat on the ground? no! That was absolutely impossible.

I eventually had no choice but to give in to Sheila, who licked my face here and there.

“…Even though they are different species, they are like family.”

“Huh?”

Lund looked at me and Scylla and said something with his eyes filled with sorrow.

‘No, that’s too sudden a reaction.’

The Langabes family was far from a normal family.

There was no need for the head of the family, Mikhail Langabes, to speak.

The family head’s brothers try to kill him… and the head’s eldest daughter, Lund.

In addition, although the head of the family had many children, none of them grew up with proper affection.

Could it be that Lund’s childhood was the only time when the head of the family gave her child proper affection?

Back to reality again.

“Lund, don’t cry.”

Silas, who is much more sensitive than me, comforted Lund, who was already in wolf form, by licking him.

“That’s right, we’re a bit unique.”

Following Scylla, I responded by pressing my head on top of Lund’s head.

Squeeze.

Lick lick lick.

The room was filled with only the sound of a baby bat pressing something and a cat licking something.

***

Rather than decreasing, the momentum became stronger.

Lund said in confusion when Silas and I acted as if we were competing with each other.

“Stop. Stop it.”

“No way!”

I just dived into Lund’s fluffy fur.

“Hey, is this heaven?”

“Stop talking nonsense and come out.”

“Me too!”

Despite Lund’s warning, even Scylla joined me.

She shook herself around to get me and Sheila away, but it wasn’t enough.

“Lund, now that you think about it, what are you going to do about eating and sleeping?”

“…I have something else to think about.”

“Just staying here?”

“I don’t plan on doing that.”

“Really?”

Well, I didn’t plan on falling that easily either.

“Sleep here!”

“I don’t like it!”

Suddenly, Lund was caught up in the atmosphere and his mental age seemed to have decreased.

“If you don’t like it here, how about next door?!”

“I don’t like it!”

“Then what are you going to do?!”

“I plan to stay in a suitable place around here.”

Lund answered while trying to control his emotions again.

“So, are you usually with me?”

“…I guess so.”

‘Hmm… I guess it’s not that bad.’

“But is it okay to be alone?”

“I never said I was alone.”

Lund asked himself if he looked that foolish.

Then, before I could answer, he added that he would bring sufficient bodyguards.

“Eyes. Don’t be like that, just stay here with me.”

I was convinced, but it didn’t seem like Sila.

“That’s right! I think it would be more convenient!”

I don’t think I’ll be able to handle working as a bartender, so I’d better stick with it at least if I can stay in this house!

I, along with Sila, clung to Lund and started insisting.

But while we were doing that, we didn’t even notice anyone coming into the house.

“Why don’t we both stop?”

“Oh, Sylvia.”

Before I knew it, Sylvia, dressed in casual clothes, approached me from the front door.

***

Sylvia quickly came out, grabbed Silas, and pulled her out from Lund’s fur.

“The Chairman and the Chairman are living separately, so please end the matter here.”

“Hieeing.”

“Chris?”

“Okay, Sylvia.”

Seeing that Angtal wasn’t working, Sylvia was now in a very serious state.

“Yes, we should respect each other’s privacy.”

Only then did Lund come out triumphantly in the form of a wolf and speak to Sila.

“By the way. That look is so hairy.”

“Oh, sorry. ”

Lund quickly returned to his normal self after hearing Sylvia’s criticism.

“Tskcha.”

I also became my true self following Lund.

“Silvia, so what are you going to do with that request?”

“I came here to ask for your opinion.”

It seemed like Sylvia hadn’t made up her mind yet.

“What is the content of the request?”

At Lund’s request, Sylvia began explaining by floating her terminal screen in the air.

“The client is Ahant Aquatic Biology Research Institute. As the name suggests, this is a place where research related to aquatic life is being conducted.”

What followed was that they would like to receive our help in the process of carrying out a project related to aquatic life that is currently in progress.

Even in the Dream City game, the reason for this quest varies depending on the main character’s race.

“I agree.”

“No details have been mentioned yet.”

“First of all, I agree.”

“….”

Sylvia continued to explain various things afterwards.

Adem’s further investigation revealed that this aquatic creature was no ordinary creature.

“So what exactly does it mean to want to get help?”

“They say they want to accumulate data on test subjects in various situations.”

“….”

Lund seemed reluctant, but he agreed with me.

“There will be various gaps while moving to the research center. There is no way the second tribe of Lidocaine would not take advantage of that gap.”

“I guess that’s true too.”

In other words, they were saying that they agreed because Lund was suitable for attracting the second tribe.

Sylvia didn’t seem to like Lund’s answer, but said she would talk to the rest of the group.

“Yes!”

If possible, I wanted everyone to agree.

Although this request was a bit terrible, it was clear that it would be of great help to me and the Blue Heart Office in the future.

And a few days later, it seemed like other people agreed to receive this request just like Lund and I did.

Before we knew it, we had gathered at Sylvia’s bar and decided on the number of people who would head to the lab.

“I will go with you.”

“Lund too?”

As soon as Sylvia and I were confirmed to participate, Lund also announced his intention to participate.

“But Lund is not a problem solver… Strictly speaking, he is an unofficial attendant, right?”

“That will happen. If there is a problem, it is enough to follow along in a transformed form.”

‘…In that wolf form?’

It didn’t seem like a very good idea, but Lund was more proactive than I thought.

Well, from her perspective, the reason for cooperation was to reduce the power of the Lidocaine Association, which was using me as bait.

Looking at the small chip on Lund’s temple that has been lighting up a lot, it is clear that he has had sufficient discussions with representatives of other anti-lidocaine forces.

“How about Johnny and David?”

“It was a car I was bored with these days.”

“…Even me?”

Johnny readily agreed, but David seemed reluctant.

Regardless of the reaction, it was confirmed that both would participate in this request.

“Silvia, what about Youngmin and Silas?”

“I don’t know about Silas, but Youngmin should contact Ildong’s office.”

“…I don’t know who Youngmin is, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to call the director from before?”

“No, I’m still the director, but I can’t call him at any time.”

“….”

Sylvia must have been swayed by Lund’s words, so she contacted Ildong’s office and asked for Ilseong and Youngmin’s cooperation.

“Ilseong says he has something else to do.”

“Then what about Youngmin?!”

“Youngmin says it is possible.”

“Oh yes!”

Silas next to me seemed to be making strange noises, but I decided to pay no attention to it.

On the other hand, Lund responded to Scylla’s actions and carefully hugged her.

“What do you want to do, Silas?”

“I want to go!”

I thought perhaps Silas would regret his decision.

That’s because we may soon be eaten by crazy people… the giant water general!!!
