"I am so sorry for the deed of those ladies, they can be quite hyped up and ruthless sometimes. But they are not bad people." said C-760 as he applied a small piece of bandage on the tiny scratch on Ai's cheek.
"No, it's not anything bad, I actually have fun playing with them just now." said Ai as she happily stuffed a piece of chocolate cookie into her mouth.
"Haha... Glad to hear that." said C-760, slightly amused by that response from Ai.
"However, I do wonder about a thing. Did everyone else from the Q division have the same look as Queenie? If I am not mistaken, they are all clones, right?" Ai asked, in an innocent and blunt tone.
"Huh?... Ah... Haha... No, it's not, Q-010 is a special occasion, an unknown error occurred when she was created thus leading to some sort of mutation." said C-760 who actually found Ai's question as cute.
"I see..." said Ai who seems to be a bit disappointed. She was imagining how cool it would be if there is a whole squad of Queenie...

Secret Base.
After sending off K and his people, Sky pulled out a bottle of liquor and a shot glass from the rack before seated on the sofa and poured himself a glass of liquor, and chugged down that shot of liquor. Ben who had just gotten out from Chris's room, walked towards Sky and sat at his side with a can of iced americano.
"How's Chris?" Sky asked.
"Well, I have put him to a short slumber through some hypnosis, don't feel like using too much sleeping magic on him recently." said Ben as he opened his can of iced coffee.
"I see. Seriously... Why would he even want to hurt himself? It's not a big deal for suddenly revert back to that blunt and childish state, right?" said Sky as he poured another shot of liquor for himself.
"Well, I have no comment on that." said Ben.
Sky chugged down the new shot of liquor without saying anything.
Glanced at Sky for a while, Ben put down his coffee onto the table without drinking it and took off his glasses before lazily leaned on the sofa.
"Anyway... Do you still remember that sample Chris collected from the Enomoto's place?" said Ben, out of the blues.
"Huh?... Ah... Right! It has been quite a long time! Did you find out anything special about the sample that might be useful for our progress?" Sky asked, kind of concerned.
"Well, to be honest, I have got the results the second day after you guys returned from your journey but was quite confused and uncertain about it. However after repeatedly analyzing it a few more times and getting the same result, I guess I should let you know about the results after all." said Ben, still leaning on the sofa.
"What is it? Is it something scary?" Sky asked.
"The results of the analysis show that, the blood and tissue samples belong to a new born infant that is less than a month old. And most likely belongs to a pair of identical twins." said Ben, without any emotional changes.
"Wha... What? Those two things are new born babies?!" Sky exclaimed in shock.
"Unfortunately, yes... New born human infants." said Ben, who sounds a bit tired.
"Tsk... Seriously... Just how complicated this series of Dracula related has to be?" said Sky as he poured another shot and chugged down.
"Well... If possible, I really don't want to have anything to do with these Dracula's matters anymore. But if we ignored it, it would get worse for sure." said Ben who sounds fed up and tired as he placed his hand on his forehead.
"Ben? Are you alright?" Sky asked, a bit concerned.
"Yes... I'm just... Kind of fed up with everything that happened continuously this few weeks..." said Ben, in a lazy tone.

Alliance Kapis sub-quarter.
Ai is quietly watching the intense training of Itsuki while enjoying her snacks and milk tea, C-760 observed her behavior and noticed that she pays a lot of attention to Itsuki. He realized that there is some special chemistry between Ai and Itsuki, probably not just limited to that retaliatory relationship
"Miss Ai, I am sorry for asking such a rude questions, but you seem to be paying a lot of attention to that vampire boy, do you perhaps... like him?" C-760 asked.
"Heh?" Slightly surprised by that sudden question from C-760, Ai doesn't know how should she answer that question.
After a short hesitation, she nodded without saying anything.
"I see." said C-760 without showing too many emotional changes.

A few days later, the Secret Base finally returned to its usual peacefulness.
Sky had done making the replacement for the protection glass of the sunroof and is currently giving it a finishing touch by polishing it. However...
"Hmm... Don't you think the leftover material is a bit too much?" said Chris as he stared at the leftover material that is at least a meter wide and two meters long with a thickness of more than five centimeters.
"Ahaha... You know I am bad at these sorts of things, I miscalculated a bit and got two excessive pieces of the raw material." said Sky with an awkward laughter.
"Well, this is a really rare and precious material, since we can't just throw this away while at the same time, it's not possible to make another spare parts for the sunroof, I guess we can make some good weapons out of this." said Chris, rather thoughtful.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
