The flying car we rode quickly moved away from the building.

“Ugh. I want to lie down quickly!”

“Chris!”

As I headed towards the stairs like some kind of zombie, Sila and the general followed.

Lina didn’t follow us and instead headed straight, so it seemed like she had something else to do. Lund seemed to have a lot to say, but he followed us obediently.

As soon as I opened the front door, my two family members and I headed straight to my bedroom.

Clap!

I jumped onto the soft bed as if swimming.

Afterwards, even though I had never given permission, Silas and the general jumped on top of me, saying they liked it.

“Kehehe! You guys!”

I quickly stood up, weighed down by the weight of the two of them.

However, what I saw in my field of vision was not two kids like me, but a cat and a giant water general that was similar in size to the cat.

“Ugh!”

When Silas saw the general’s true face, she was horrified and hid behind me.

widely! widely!

Then the general shook the front part of his body as if telling him not to do so.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

But thanks to that, I too ended up suffering from a condition called fear.

A situation where I and Sila in cat form were hugging each other and getting scared by the general who was getting closer and closer.

“Stop it.”

“Keeek!”

Before we knew it, Lund, who had followed us, hugged the general in his true form.

The general suddenly shook his body back and forth, making strange noises as he was suddenly held in Lund’s arms.

“Chris, you saw it when you came in, right?”

“What? Frank and friends?”

“Yes.”

It would have been easier if Frank and his friends had helped us when we captured King Gordius.

‘Perhaps it was because the vampires were gathered in groups that they left on their own?’

If so, it was Malcolm, not Frank, who was involved in that decision.

Frank and his friends are all vampire hunters, so it was obvious that they would move back and forth in this area.

I’m sure Malcolm was saying that it would be difficult if a big problem arose between the church and the vampires.

“And not just hunters.”

“Yes? What else is there?”

Silas, who was burying her face in the body I was holding, asked.

“Yeah, there are a lot of other guys too. They probably noticed that we came back from the quarry.”

“Ha, really. Don’t you get tired of those guys?”

“When I think of the bounty on you, I’m sure I’m excited rather than tired.”

“Ugh….”

I was even more disgusted because I thought what Lund said was true.

***

Afterwards, I was lying comfortably on the bed with Sheila, looking at the ceiling.

Before we knew it, the general had come next to us and was lying down with his stomach towards the ceiling.

Isn’t it a bit scary to see a giant water general doing something like that? It looks like he’s pretending to be dead.

“So how long are you going to lie down like that?”

“Why baby? Do you have anything else to do?”

After answering Lund’s question, she looked out the window.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Ah!”

“What is it?”

“Now that I think about it, Scylla has already been surpassed by the general in time for hand-painting.”

When I mentioned that part, Silas, who was lying next to me, puffed out her cheeks as if she was pouting.

“So?”

“Well, isn’t there a better way?”

In this regard, Lund seemed to have the most knowledge and experience.

No matter what anyone says, I’m a damn old woman who is over 100 years old!

“Are you thinking something strange right now?”

“Keuhum. Large.”

In response to Lund’s question, I tried to avoid her gaze.

Finally, when she approached my bed, I got scared and closed my eyes.

“…Huh?”

When I opened my eyes, Lund had already transformed into a wolf.

When the giant wolf climbed onto the bed

“So, are you asking me to give you some special training?”

“…Is it possible?”

Sheila said as she rolled over to Lund’s side on the bed.

“Hmm.”

Lund’s attitude towards Silas was quite serious.

‘What, you didn’t do that to me!’

“Oh, wait a minute. Lund, since you’re a vampire turning into an animal, if you’re being precise… aren’t the fields different?”

“But the trick is the same.”

For some reason, Lund had a confident expression on his face.

“….”

But the results were disastrous.

It was so miserable that the general, who had clung to me before I knew it, didn’t even flinch, let alone flinch, even as he looked at Silas.

That’s because Scylla, who had become a beast, was crawling around on all fours.

“What is this? It’s ugly!”

“…ugh.”

After hearing what I said, Silas immediately blushed as if she was embarrassed.

“If you don’t know, don’t bother.”

“Kaaak! No!”

I was desperately opposed to Sheila’s continued unsightly special training.

“Is there any other method besides this one?”

“Um… Just keep giving me my blood.”

In response to Lund’s realistic question about whether there was another alternative, I suggested a clear method.

In the case of water painting, the best way to become skilled is to use it frequently and for a long time… but with my blood, I could quickly shorten that period.

“Ah, you can’t be a general!”

As soon as I started talking about my blood, the general started shaking.

Despite my urgent shouts, the general did not stop approaching Silas and me.

“Ugh!”

Me and Scylla running away from the bedroom, and the general chasing after them.

Lund just watched the three of us like that, as if he couldn’t stop them.

***

A few days after that.

It seemed like it would take some more time before the confirmation results for the two items entrusted to Solas’ serotonin science came out.

I spent time from breakfast to lunch at the house on the second floor.

As I watched the fierce fight between the bounty hunters and the fixers unfolding beyond the window, it seemed like everyone was living a really hard life.

‘Well, it’s probably because of the bounty on me, right?’

Lund said he had something important to do with the Tetracaine Association and then disappeared somewhere.

“Sila, general. Should we go downstairs to the bar?”

“I like it!”

“Me too.”

Sila and Janggun, who had already transformed into human beings, each answered. Janggun was still speaking slurred.

Although Silas often helped the general while practicing hand drawing, it seemed like he had a long way to go.

Come to think of it, was it yesterday? I think Sylvia did something about taking on a new request.

When I took the two of us down the stairs to the bar on the first floor, the captain’s bartenders greeted me.

“Oh, hello everyone!”

For some reason, Martin was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, I saw Johnny, Eslok, Lina, and Lillian.

As for Laia… she was a member of my family, but she didn’t really work as a bartender.

I sat in front of Johnny even in the bartenders’ presence.

“Johnny.”

“Why? Sister.”

“Have you heard anything from Sylvia regarding the request? I think I definitely said something.”

“Ah….”

Johnny seemed to remember something when he heard me.

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

“Why?”

Are you really planning to remove me from the request? No, there is someone else in our office who has as much power as me!

Besides, I had no intention of ever being satisfied with being a low-level troubleshooter. I need to continue to build up my performance and reach the level of a mid-level problem solver.

‘No matter what, my blood lineage is that of a blood lord.’

That’s what I think, Johnny answered as he made the drink.

“No, that’s not it. The client said they couldn’t contact me.”

“Ah… really?”

Did something happen? If a problem arises with the client’s health before the request is received, of course there would be no request.

“In the first place, I was a little anxious because it was a task entrusted to me in a hurry.”

“….”

As I listened quietly, Johnny continued talking.

“Besides, it wasn’t originally from the silver side.”

“Then?”

“It looks like it was hastily handed over to another local security maintenance office. The bastards at our security maintenance office handed it over to us as if they liked it.”

“Ah, this is complete bullshit.”

As Johnny and I continued our conversation, Silas and the General sat to my left and right.

“Chris. Is there anything you would like to drink?”

Eslok, looking at this, asked about the spell.

“Bat beer!”

“What is that?”

In Maguspol, the eyeballs of oil bats are used as a substitute for butter.

It was called bat beer because it was made with the eyeballs of oil bats… and that means bat beer. In reality, it was like butter beer in the real world.

Additionally, Maguspol’s bat beer is similar to real-life butter beer.

Add butter, eggs, vanilla, almonds, hazelnuts, and other ingredients to the beer and boil it. It was natural for the alcohol to fly away during this process.

It was a similar drink to the Bang Show I had before.

“I want to eat bangsho!”

It seems that Scylla prefers bangsho rather than bat beer. Meanwhile, the general said he would eat the same thing as me.

Although I did not express my opinion that way, I suggested it first, and the general nodded as if he agreed.

After waiting a bit, the drinks we ordered came out.

Fortunately, the oil bat’s eyeballs didn’t retain their shape in the beer.

***

Hello.

“Ah, it’s just right.”

When I took a sip of bat beer, my whole body felt warm.

The general who drank the same thing next to me also seemed to like the bat beer and flapped his wings, which he had been keeping quiet.

“Sila, is the bang show delicious too?”

“Yes!”

Silas also seemed to have no regrets about her order.

Even if you’re not Martin, you should know the skills of the bartenders at our bar. No, since it is the result of Martin educating his juniors, does he ultimately benefit from Martin?

Anyway, the three of us were having a good time.

Suddenly, a customer in the corner called out to me, who was on the captain’s side.

Then Johnny and Eslok said they could ignore it and tried to respond on their own.

“No, it’s okay. I was bored so why not go.”

I also wondered what they would do to me. Besides, I was the type of person who could easily regenerate various types of damage.

As I headed towards the customer, he spoke to me first.

“Nice to meet you. Little girl.”

“Are you saying that even though you know I’m a vampire?”

He was a middle-aged man with a slim appearance.

I didn’t close my eyes intentionally, but they were so small that it was almost like I was squinting.

It felt familiar yet somehow unfamiliar. Well, there should have been one or two characters like this in Dream City.

“So do you have any business with me?”

I wanted to get straight to the point. I didn’t want my long-awaited good moment to be interrupted by a man I was seeing for the first time.

“No, it’s not a big deal. Because I felt lonely drinking alone.”

“Eck….”

No, I don’t even drink alcohol in the first place.

Plus, this customer… Now that I look at it, it seems like he is a real customer.

Among the drinks on the table, there were some that were ordered, but there were also some that were not sold at all at the bar.

“I don’t think that drink is from our bar.”

“Ah, this is the alcohol I made.”

In fact, the customer offered me that drink in a confident manner as if nothing had happened.

Now that I see it, I see that he wasn’t just a real customer, but a strange guy.

I was thinking of just cutting it right here, but since there were other customers, I decided to hold on.

“….”

It smells good.

The scent coming from the alcohol seemed quite nice.

When I turned my head to look at the captain, all four bartenders were looking at me with anxious eyes.

It seems like Silas and the general are worried about me too.

“You should drink it first.”

“So, little lady, are you going to have a drink too?”

Before I could answer, the customer poured the drink into his glass and took a sip, then two sips. We started drinking one after another.

“Keuuu!”

Oh, shit. Seeing him drink like that right in front of me made me want to drink too.

“…Then just a little.”

“The quantity is not that large to begin with.”

The truth is, the customer then poured a drink into the glass I had brought for him.

“What is the name of this drink?”

“Okay. I call it mountain tea.”

I took a sip of the drink right after asking its name.

…Produced tea?! Oh fuck!

“Puh-eup!!!”

I immediately gulped down the drink.

“Kehehe! Keck! Ahhh!”

I immediately got up and started making a fuss, and the bartenders came over.

“Chris!”

“Ahh, it’s too bitter!”

“…?”

I didn’t just write it, I fucking wrote it! The taste was definitely good at first, and there were no problems until the middle. However, when I felt the residual taste remaining in my mouth, a huge bitter taste came over me later.

‘No, that’s not the problem now.’

Wild tea, if what I know is correct… the ingredient for this drink is people!

Above all, there were not many people in Maguspol who made this kind of alcohol and served it to others. I still don’t know exactly who it is…
