episode_0147

The communication with Aima ended briefly.

I spent my time hoping to make progress at work.

For once, Sylvia didn’t go to the office.

After finishing the dishes, the four of us gathered in the living room and watched TV.

“Um….”

“Why is that?”

“Sylvia, don’t you think your breasts have gotten bigger?”

At that moment.

Suddenly my perspective changed. It was because of my earlobe, which was being held in Sylvia’s hand.

“Whoaaah!”

It was so surprising that even Sheila and the general next to him were surprised.

Fortunately, the suffering did not last long.

“Eek, that’s too much.”

“Because Chris was the one who acted weird first.”

No, but it really does seem to have gotten bigger.

I swallowed the words that had risen to my chin again.

My mouth was really itchy, but I couldn’t help it since Sylvia reacted like that.

“Shillaaa~”

Instead, I decided to hug Sheila. That day, the general also hugged Sheila.

Suddenly, Silla was surrounded by the generals on both sides.

“Why are you saying such strange things to Sylvia?”

“No, I was just expressing my honest opinion….”

I don’t think Leia and Lillian are even a match for each other.

By the way, considering Sylvia’s age… it’s a bit scary that she’s still growing.

“It’s probably because the clothes are too tight.”

Sylvia must have been a bit nervous, as she tried to refute him in her own way.

“No, I don’t think the clothes are the problem. Is it because you eat too much?”

“If that’s the case, then the food Chris made must be so delicious.”

Suddenly, he said it was all thanks to me. It may be a bit harsh, but it wasn’t such a bad thing to hear.

While we were doing this, various stories were being covered on TV.

Of course, the recent death of the Northern Privy Councillor, Magusfall.

There are stories of suspicious things being seen near the Shining Sea, and stories of the 3rd place picking fights with the 7th and 8th places.

There wasn’t a single thing that didn’t smell suspicious.

“I think I’ll get a job soon.”

“You can refuse to do something that is too dangerous.”

“Really?”

“It’s not good to have repeated rejections, but… it doesn’t cause any financial problems, so…

That’s right.

Even now, when I think about the wealth that would pour down on me if I owned a bunch of large screens, it really felt that way.

“Chris.”

“Huh?”

Sheila suddenly touched my shoulder.

I turned my head to the side without showing any sign of surprise…

“What, you just ate and are already sleeping?”

***

The general is sleeping on Sheila’s back.

“Let’s take you to my room first.”

“Yes, just a moment.”

It was necessary to be careful not to wake the general.

Sheila woke up holding the general, and I helped her.

So I moved the general to the bed in my room and now a big yawn came out of my mouth.

“Waaam.”

“Christ looks sleepy.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“What if you don’t know?”

In response to Sylvia’s words, Sheila grabbed my cheek and said.

Beep-

The TV returned to a black screen like it had been from the beginning.

“It’s a little early, but going to bed early isn’t a bad idea.”

“Hmm. What could it be?”

Because it might take a few days to hear from Aima again.

So Sylvia went to her room, and Sheila and I went to my room.

“Oh, by the way, Lund hasn’t come yet.”

“Wouldn’t you like to come and find out?”

I nodded in agreement with Sheila’s words.

It is also true that he usually comes and goes from our house alone.

“Then let’s go to sleep first.”

“Yes.”

As I entered the room, I saw the general I had laid down earlier and Midas, who had returned to my room.

Midas was now not even eating his food, but was lying down beside his bowl.

“Midas, aren’t you sleeping?”

“What the heck.”

‘No, now you’re not even answering in human language, so you’re just hanging on.’

“We’re going to sleep well too, are you okay?”

“Yes, yes.”

Even so, I answered the questions that needed a clear answer.

Sheila and I lay on the bed in a truly mysterious mood.

Bit by bit.

“Chris, where are you touching?”

“It’s belly fat, so what?”

Bit by bit.

Since there was resistance from Sheila, this time I touched the general’s belly too.

It was soft and fluffy, like rice cake.

I’m glad that both Sheila and the General have finished their transformations. Oh, and it’s not bad to touch Sheila’s belly in cat form either!

…Compared to that, Jang Gun-i, who looked like a giant water general, was difficult to even touch.

Sheila didn’t interfere with me at all as I stood there silently, untouched by anyone.

I was touching their bellies here and there, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

“….”

I don’t know the exact time, but I opened my eyes in the dark of the night.

“Take it easy….”

Since I woke up half-asleep, I got out of bed without any consideration.

***

I felt sorry because I felt like I had touched the general in the process.

“….”

Still, it’s a good thing it didn’t break.

The room was a little dark, but it was okay thanks to Midas’ golden buttocks reflecting the moonlight.

‘It’s convenient in many ways.’

Even while thinking like that, Midas probably wasn’t sleeping.

After leaving my room, I headed straight to the bathroom.

Somehow I reached out and groped around before landing on the toilet.

“Ugh.”

A strange sound burst out without me knowing.

Well, it’ll be okay since everyone is sleeping.

Knock!

‘uh?!’

But then I heard something moving outside the bathroom.

A sudden feeling of nervousness while urinating in the middle of the night.

The feeling of sleep disappeared in an instant.

Everyone must be asleep! Why is there a bastard who came in the middle of the night just to get the bounty on my head?!

…But I still have to urinate first.

Luckily, he was a humanitarian guy and didn’t do anything until I came out of the bathroom.

But I’m a vampire.

It was a year without humanity.

He immediately transformed both of his arms into a vicious form, then took out a pair of wings and prepared to intercept the intruder.

Its head briefly changed into that of a bat, then it spat out ultrasound waves from its mouth.

The ultrasound waves I emitted quickly bounced around and then returned to my ears.

Even in the dark, you can clearly see the surrounding structure and condition….

“Oh, what is it? Was it Lund?”

“Yeah, it’s me.”

A white dire wolf standing alone in the darkness.

There were intruders, but they were our intruders!

“Hey, really! You surprised me.”

“That applies to me too.”

Before I knew it, he came into the house and started wandering around at night in the guise of a wolf.

Since you surprised me, I decided to give you a little punishment. It’s not like I’m lazy to go to bed.

He immediately clung to Lund’s back.

I felt like my eyes would close at any moment as I was hugged by soft fur like a bed.

It didn’t stop there, its now slightly larger and thicker tail wrapped around Lund’s stomach.

“What? Release it.”

“No, I don’t like it, I’ll just cut it here.”

“….”

Normally, I would have just coldly rejected it.

This time he didn’t. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for me having to meet the second place for his uncle?

“Lund, good night….”

I was too sleepy to think any more.

***

I slept like that, hanging on Lund’s back.

When I opened my eyes again, I was still hanging on Lund’s back.

‘Eww! My back!’

I started feeling pain in my lower back after waking up for a while due to my bad posture.

“Are you awake?”

“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you not sleeping?”

Lund asks me as soon as I wake up.

It seemed like he wasn’t sleep deprived, though. That’s fortunate.

First, I untied the tail that was still wrapped around Lund’s stomach.

“Your tail is thicker than before.”

“Ah, I recently sucked some dragon blood with Ray.”

“Hemolysis?”

“A lot from Yong-in people!”

Lund heard me and asked if Ray was okay.

“Huh? Why is that?”

“You’ll be fine, but dragon blood isn’t something that a normal vampire can easily digest.”

“Uh… is that so?”

“Yeah, I guess you would have gotten a response right away.”

“There was no response?”

Lund looked as if he found that a bit odd.

Just in case, I called Ray right away from the terminal.

“Hey, Chris. What’s going on so early?”

“Ray, are you feeling unwell?”

“Huh? No, that’s not true.”

“Have you been feeling unwell since you took the dragon’s blood with me?”

Ray, without a moment’s hesitation, said that there was no such thing.

“Really? Then that’s good.”

After asking Ray for his understanding, I ended the call.

“What, isn’t this okay?”

Lund said that perhaps I was not an ordinary Jinjo.

“The strength of the retinue changes depending on the power of the lord.”

Thanks to Lund, I learned one more thing to watch out for.

And why don’t other vampires get their hands on dragon blood as easily as I do?

The second tribe leader, he was also a really great guy.

Of course, it could be because he is in second place.

After talking with Lund, it seemed like the date to meet the runner-up was roughly set.

About the week after next.

“That’s enough.”

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s something I’m preparing right now.”

Lund was curious about that part, but I told him to wait a little longer.

But one day passed like that, and two days passed.

Before I knew it, a week had passed by in the blink of an eye as I spent each day.

“Can’t I tell you now?”

“No, that’s not it yet….”

When will Aima contact you!

***

As Lund’s curiosity grows.

Finally, I felt a vibration on my terminal. The name that appeared at the top of the screen was Aka Aima!

“Oh, finally!”

As soon as we started communicating, a hologram of Aima appeared.

On the other side, my hologram would have appeared.

“Just a minute.”

Aima began to briefly adjust the communication situation.

In that way, instead of Aima’s hologram, my vision suddenly became a picture of the place she was in.

“Oh, what is it?”

6th, 7th, 8th.

Those at the top of the problem-solving rankings were gathered in one place.

“I have it too~?”

“Ah….”

There are also unlucky 5th place winners.

I openly frowned.

“What is that reaction?!”

Even with the 5th place’s reaction that it seemed like it was too much, my expression did not change.

By the way, there were other faces besides them.

I can’t tell the difference between the hologram and the color of the costume… but judging by the attire, it was clearly the Sage of the North and his children.

They are puppets who, although they are packaged as father and son, will rush to the pit of death at the word of a wise man.

“Okay, everyone’s here.”

“Yeah, they’re all here.”

As one of the puppets stood up and spoke, the sixth person responded.

“Okay, okay! Everyone, pay attention!”

Aima focused the audience’s attention on herself, then quickly turned it over to me.

“First of all, thank you all for coming.”

Wouldn’t it be a waste to say thank you to the puppets of the wise man?

Aima figured out in a short time that they were behind this and contacted them.

What these people gathered here have in common… may be hard to find, but it’s that they’re all competing against the second place.

“First of all, I feel sorry for the 1st and 5th place, but I think the Tetracaine Association and I have to get out of this.”

Immediately the audience beyond the terminal stirred.

“What? What does that mean?”

“That’s exactly what I meant. Things came up. They made us an offer we couldn’t refuse.”

“…Is that all you called me to tell me?”

Here it comes. The true form of the 5th place.

You were acting friendly earlier, but now you’re acting like this because you think I’m of no use to you.

“Of course not.”

I emphasized that this is only a temporary ceasefire and not a permanent ceasefire.

“And even if I leave, there’s still the wise man of the north.”

“It’s not comforting at all.”

The sixth statement spoke for everyone in the audience, except for the children of the wise.

At this point I decided to give them some good news.

“But it’s not all bad news. The second place is coming to see me in person.”

“…2nd place directly?”

The 7th person asked with his eyes shining.

“Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll share the exact location and time.”

“Wait… No way?”

I’m not sure what the 6th place prediction is.

But I had decided what I was going to say.

“It doesn’t matter whether you take advantage of the gap when there’s no second place or take aim at second place directly. I’ll hold onto second place, so how about everyone here do whatever they want?”

Giving second place to these lynxes.

Of course, these authors were not the ones who would reject my offer. Rather, I should say that they were excited about this opportunity.

With all the preparations being made… the day to meet the runner-up arrived.
