“Is this how it ends up like this?”

Hank, the Adventurer’s Guild’s receptionist representative, held his wife’s hand tightly.

“I’m sorry, honey.”

“No, I’m more sorry.”

Hank’s wife lay in bed, holding her husband’s hand tightly.

She was so pregnant that she couldn’t even move, and even if she did, it seemed like something big would happen right away.

Above all, one of the legs under the blanket was missing.

“Even if I become a vampire…I will love you forever.”

“I’m willing to give my blood for you anytime.”

“No. I have to think about the baby that will be born.”

The woman shook her head, holding Hank’s hand tightly.

“You live. Run away alive. And…. someday live-”

Pa-ah.

24 hours, elapsed.

Ding, ding, ding.

The bells rang out at Count Albatea’s castle, signaling that it was time, and Hank clung to his wife, holding her tightly.

“Ah, no…! Honey, if I turn into a vampire like this…!”

“If you want blood, I’ll gladly give you my blood! Because I’m yours!”

“Hank…!”

Hank and his wife shed tears.

“…….?”

“Huh?”

Nothing happened.

Ding, ding, ding.

The bell ended and nothing changed.

“What is this…?”

The same goes for people outside.

Hank unconsciously walked slowly to the window and opened the door.

“What…is going on?”

“No vampires?”

“Huh?”

As people started to come out onto the streets one by one, they were confused.

Thud, thud.

A man came out quietly into the street.

The masked man raised both hands, accompanied by a succubus and a vampire behind him.

match.

Clap your hands once.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the man.

“Ahh.”

The man was clearly Mine-Azazel Dandelion who had appeared in the sky.

“I told you I’d become a vampire in 24 hours.”

The man’s voice sounded slightly playful, unlike before.

“Lies-”

At the words of the man who put his index finger to his lips while taking a deep breath, Hank grabbed the window as if he was going to break it for a moment, but-

” is not.”

At the man’s words, which quickly became serious, I quickly relaxed and observed the situation.

Next to the man.

A succubus might be able to be subdued.

But the vampire next to him is dangerous.

The vampire, with a sword on his waist and a bow in one hand, stands in the same posture as the orc slayer and S-class adventurer, Silverit.

“Those who remain in the Albatea Counts, become servants of our vampire army. You are just….”

The man continued speaking with a grin.

“Just enjoy sex.”

“……?”

For a moment, Hank tilted his head, wondering if he had heard wrong.

What should I enjoy?

A flesh party?

Fratricide?

A coliseum of death where everyone kills each other so that only one can survive?

“Only adult men and women remain here. No minors.”

Although incomprehensible words continued to flow from the man’s mouth, he was very serious.

“Listen carefully, remaining humans of the Albatea Counts. From now on, you will not be allowed to leave this bloody veil. You will not be allowed to leave this land without our permission.”

Hank could understand that perfectly.

Those who escaped within the time limit will be allowed to leave, but the rest will be controlled going forward so that they will never be able to leave.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to create such an enormous barrier, and adjusting it to that degree wouldn’t be a big deal.

“There are only two fates given to you. Either become a vampire and join our legion, or remain human and become someone’s blood bag. ”

Blood bag.

At that blunt expression, Hank turned his eyes to his wife.

They said they were turning adult women into vampires.

If my wife were to become a vampire, she would have to drink someone’s blood.

You can’t feed her another man’s blood.

Hank held his arm tightly, waiting for the man to continue.

“If I talk like this, no one will come forward. So…I’ll start playing ‘hide and seek’ from now on.”

also.

Mine is like a mine.

“From now on, I will turn the weakest human into a vampire. The elderly will have the bodies of young people, and the disabled will become vampires and have their lost bodies returned.”

huh?

Hank tilted his head for a moment.

“Those who have become eunuchs will grow genitals again, and those who are hurt by arrows in their knees will become strong enough to jump on rooftops.”

“What….”

If you think about it objectively, if you become a vampire, you will definitely achieve such a drastic improvement in your physical abilities.

But why?

Common sense tells us that if we were going to create vampires, wouldn’t it be right to make healthy adult men or women into vampires and use them as fighters?

“I will give you the blessing of becoming a vampire. Enjoy your youth. Enjoy your youth.”

“Hey, honey….”

Hank turned his head at his wife’s call.

“Uh, that… I guess.”

The wife swallowed hard and opened her mouth very carefully.

“They must be crazy….”

“…….”

“Don’t touch that. If you touch it…I’ll try to kill you.”

“…I guess so.”

A story about crazy people who cannot be judged by common sense.

but-

“First of all, I will find old people who can’t move and turn them into vampires. If I had to describe my aesthetics, it would be ‘sex is also beautiful.’”

Those words made Hank feel scared for some reason.

“Old people, shout out. Become vampires and enjoy your youth again. Your lifespan… will also be much longer than before, since you have become vampires.”

That mine is stimulating what humans fear the most.

“The one blessed by the vampire, there is only one thing he wants. Our legion… wants absolute obedience to the vampire. ”

Overcoming death.

Transcendence of the human being.

… regaining your youth.

“I will grant you new vampire bodies.”

Or, having a healthy body.

“……Honey, do you trust me?”

Hank turned his eyes to his wife.

The wife looked at Hank with confused eyes, then shut her eyes tightly.

“Let’s live for now…”

I had no idea what was going to happen, but I couldn’t just die like this.

“First of all-”

Thud, thud.

“!!”

They are coming closer.

Hank reached for the sword hanging on the wall, but-

Knock knock.

“?”

With a polite knock, the door opened.

“Hahaha, a pregnant woman and her husband.”

Mine appeared.

“Secretary. Can a pregnant woman become a vampire?”

“Unfortunately, it is difficult to become a vampire while pregnant.”

“Impossible?”

“It’s not impossible, but it can have a negative impact on the fetus.”

“Ugh…!”

Hank drew his sword.

“Don’t mess with my wife…!”

“Then that woman should postpone it until after giving birth.”

“What…?”

“Secretary. Is it okay for a vampire mother to breastfeed a human baby that was born?”

“It might be difficult to just be a vampire, but wouldn’t it be okay if you became a vampirel?”

“Is that so.”

match.

“I guess we should separate the classes. Pure vampires and noble vampires. Maybe…vampanis?”

“Are you talking about the privileged class that has the characteristics of a vampire but doesn’t come into contact with Dandelion?”

“That’s what it is.”

Hank felt creeped out for some reason.

It seems like they are trying to beat around the bush, but it seems like those who could destroy them right now are ‘considering’ them.

“Congratulations, man. May the goddess bless you and give birth to a healthy baby.”

“???”

Hank was confused by Mine’s words.

“Why is Mine…the goddess…?”

“Of course, we are the demons who follow the word of the goddess.”

“?????”

“Don’t be confused. Accept it as it is. Especially the pregnant woman on your side.”

Mine bowed respectfully toward Hank’s wife, then clasped his hands together in prayer as if making the sign of the cross.

“May the Goddess help you to have a healthy baby. If you need anything, come to Baekjakseong. I will support you with anything you need for childbirth.”

“What…are you thinking?”

“What are you thinking? Of course, it’s to celebrate the birth of a life.”

Mine put his hand on the mask.

“Happy Birthday.”

When the masks were removed, Hank and his wife’s hearts sank.

“A child born will grow up as a human until he or she becomes an adult, at which point he or she will become a vampire.”

“That’s…!”

“A vampire, a resident of the Albatea Count’s castle.”

“???”

“Hehehe, as expected, you’re confused. It can’t be helped.”

Mine shrugs.

“If you become a vampire, you can understand right away, but I don’t think the pregnant woman can. Your man. Will you become a vampire first?”

“If I become a vampire….”

“Nothing changes. Think simply.”

Mine tapped the floor lightly with his foot.

“The Albatea Countship has become the territory of the vampire army, not the human kingdom.”

“……!”

“To borrow a human expression, we took this land as a war of territories.”

“Aren’t you… the Demon King’s Army?”

“Okay. I don’t think I need to explain further. Secretary, connect the prison with video magic. ”

“Yes.”

As I tapped on the gray plate the succubus was holding, a burning spell immediately appeared on the plate.

“!!”

There were several adventurers captured there, many of whom Hank was familiar with.

A-class adventurers who are much stronger than you.

“I heard that you are a popular person as a receptionist at the Adventurer’s Guild. This is what happens to those who resist.”

“Are you telling me to… persuade people?”

“You are the representative.”

“…….”

“Don’t worry. Nothing will change except that you’ll just become a vampire. Oh, I guess there will be changes.”

Mine chuckled and pointed down with his hand.

“Becoming a vampire is really good for a man’s body, but I don’t know how to explain it.”

“……!!”

Hank clenched his fist.

“Are you trying to convince me with such a shallow gain!”

“Vulgar gain? No, no. How can the sacred process of birthing a life be called vulgar?”

Mine clapped his hands toward Hank’s wife.

“I wish you a safe delivery.”

“…….”

Hank thought.

The new ‘Lords’ are, after all, crazy people.
