Chuckling in response, Xanry then smiled before saying, “Before that, I’d like to head to the washroom first!” “Sure thing!” replied Gerald with a nod. While he knew that Xanry was trying to escape, Gerald didn’t feel the need to expose him. Whatever the case was, Xanry then got up and quickly left for the washroom. Now that he had finally managed to escape from Gerald’s evil grasp, there was no way in hell that he was going to dare offend Gerald anymore. Soon enough, the classmate party ended smoothly and Gerald drove home together with Juno… The second they stepped into her house, Juno instantly smiled as she turned to look at Gerald before saying, “You’ve teased Xanry so much today, Gerald!” Laughing heartily in response, Gerald then replied, “He’s at fault for offending me in the first place! I certainly couldn’t just let him off after he did that, could I? Besides, you’re happy that I teased him too, no?” Upon hearing that, Juno nodded before delightedly saying, “Of

After hearing Gerald’s explanation, both of them finally got the whole story. As it turned out, the perfume bag really did symbolize something. “…Still… couldn’t the ‘major issue’ be a good affair?” asked Ray. Shaking his head, Gerald then replied, “Unfortunately, I’ve heard tales of Grimhelm before as well. It’s an extremely vicious place, so the fact that he’s gone there must mean that he’s bumped into some trouble.” Gerald also knew that Old Flint was wise enough not to send such a perfume bag over under normal circumstances. He would’ve only posted it when he was in urgent need of help… “…I see! Then… When are we leaving?” “We leave at nine tomorrow morning!” declared Gerald, knowing how urgent the situation was. Following that, he turned to face Ray and Juno before instructing, “Ray, Juno, go wake Nori up and detail her on all this. Once that’s done, start packing up. I’ll be needing you three to follow me there!” With how serious the matter was, Gerald needed all th

It was at around eleven that night when Gerald and the others finally arrived at the Emerald Realm. The vampires’ territory was an old forest located on an ancient mountain there, and since ancient times, few had ventured into the forest to meet them… Fortunately for the party, there were still some operating hotels and inns in the vicinity. With that in mind, the group of five could finally settle down and get some proper rest… After booking some rooms, he allowed everyone to head to their respective rooms to get some well-deserved sleep. After all, they needed to be fully rested before officially entering vampire territory early the next morning… By dawn, all of them checked out early and immediately began driving toward the old forest in the mountains… After about forty minutes of driving, the car finally came to a halt at the foot of the mountain. Since the car couldn’t be driven any further, they had no other choice but to continue forward on foot. Once they got their lu

Looking at the large-bellied man—who was staring at Gerald and his group—, Gerald already knew that he was trouble. More accurately, he felt that the fat man was a bandit and a plain bully in the village. While Gerald wasn’t too keen on getting into contact with him or his subordinates, he still put on a smile as he replied, “It’s just some food, but all of it has already been exchanged and taken by the villagers!” Hearing that, the big-bellied man then raised his head before declaring, “Listen here! I’m called Fane and I’m the boss of this village! Since you’ve come to my village, you should hand us something as a welcome gift! Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to allow you to stay here!” Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly knew that Fane was merely a gangster trying to blackmail them for money. While the threats would surely fool the more gullible people, Gerald was experienced with people like Fane. With that in mind, he wasn’t about to allow Fane to take advantage of them. Re

Soon enough, night fell and the entire area was completely engulfed in darkness. With how silent it was, the crackling of the bonfire—that Gerald and his party had started in the yard and were currently sitting around—was crisp as day… With the presence of a very large piece of meat for dinner—that was currently cooking over the bonfire—, it was evident that Gerald had saved some food for a rainy day. Gerald had made sure to keep some rations in his own bag, anticipating the possibility of the villagers exchanging all of the food in Ray’s backpack. Due to how large the meat was, all five of them were sufficiently full by the time dinner was over. With their bellies now filled, Ray couldn’t help but ask in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you think Fane and his gang will come looking for trouble with us tonight, Mr. Crawford?” “Don’t worry, we’ll just take turns being on guard tonight. You can sleep first, and after two hours, we’ll switch places. That way, nobody will be able t

“Look, I didn’t even leave the house! How could I have killed him?” explained Gerald. While that was the truth, he knew the villagers weren’t going to buy it so easily. With that in mind, the best way to clear things out would be by investigating how Fane truly died. Still, Fane’s death certainly explained why he and his gang hadn’t caused Gerald and his party any trouble the previous night. Though Fane was definitely a villainous character that deserved retribution sooner or later, Gerald had to admit that his death was a bit too untimely. Whatever the case was, Gerald then added, “…Look, before we start pointing fingers, let’s just get the corpse up first to see how he really died!” Hearing that, the villagers couldn’t argue with Gerald’s logic, so they began tugging his corpse up. The second the fat corpse was out in the open, everyone saw that his face had been completely ruined. With how badly his face had been clawed up, Fane barely had any notable facial features lef

It wasn’t long before the trio arrived at the well. Pointing at Fane’s corpse—that was now lying on the ground—Gerald then said, “Please have a look at this corpse, Old Flint! Something attacked him yesterday before tossing him down the well!” Upon seeing the corpse, the shocked Ray then shouted in disbelief, “…I-isn’t that Fane, Mr. Crawford? We just met him yesterday! How could he die so abruptly?” Not even bothering to answer Ray’s question, Gerald simply kept his gaze on Old Flint. Old Flint himself simply stared at the corpse, clearly analyzing it. After a short period, he then said, “…This is the work of feral vampires!” “Feral vampires?” repeated Gerald, surprised by Old Flint’s answer. “Indeed. Only their kind would have such sharp claws that could easily kill. What more, if you pay closer attention, you’ll be able to see bite marks on his neck! It can only signify that his blood had been sucked up!” explained Old Flint. “So, what you’re saying is that there are f

“…Who are these people, Mr. Crawford?” whispered Ray as Gerald shook his head, a deep frown on his face. Quite frankly, he had no idea who they were either. Following that, a man with a buzz cut stepped forward, staring at Gerald and his group before asking, “Who are you people?” “Kind sir, we’re merely merchants who are here to have some fun!” replied Gerald. “…Merchants you say? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Who are you trying to fool?” retorted the man as he glared at Gerald. “You’re free to choose not to believe us. Regardless, what are you and your men doing all the way out here?” replied Gerald. “We’re here to look for the vampires’ territory!” declared the man with the buzz cut, not seeing a reason to lie. “…Oh? You’re here to look for their territory as well?” replied Gerald in surprise. To think that these men had the same goal as he had! “Hmm? So, you’re saying we share a goal?” said the man as he signaled for the rest of his men to lower their weapons. “

With that, Lech and his teammates retrieved their shovels—along with any relevant equipment—before starting to dig the earth beneath them. “You guys keep an eye on things while we dig! Let’s get our well-deserved rest once we make it to the other side!” said Lech. Knowing that it wasn’t easy to dig out a passageway and that it would be some time before Lech and his men were done, Gerald naturally had no objections. After nodding in agreement, he then returned to his own party to start keeping watch. Seeing that Gerald had returned, Ray then asked in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you trust these people, Mr. Crawford…?” Understanding where Ray was coming from, Gerald then replied, “Don’t worry, I can sense that he’s a righteous man!” Upon hearing that, Ray’s worries quickly subsided. After all, he trusted Gerald’s judgment. “What about you, Old Flint? What do you think about Lech and his men?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at the old man who was sitting close to them. T

Upon hearing that, Gerald and the others were pleasantly surprised. After going through so much effort, they had finally managed to enter the vampires’ territory! “…However, the fact that those corpses were found dead like that… It can only mean that some vampires are still alive! They’re incredibly dangerous opponents, so please be careful, everyone!” added Old Flint. Vampires in general were an independent race that almost never had contact with people from the outside world. It definitely explained why they resented those from the outside world so much. It was also the reason why they usually attacked any non-vampires on sight. It certainly didn’t help that vampires were naturally fast and could easily kill any number of people they wanted. “Not to worry, sir! All of us are experts at fighting, so we aren’t to be trifled with either! With that in mind, I believe that the vampires won’t dare to act all unrestrained on us!” replied Lech in a confident tone. Upon hearing that
