Chapter 579 - hmm

Chapter 72: A little girl of few words.

"You didn't answer my question, old man," Victor spoke again.

"This is a dagger of crystallized blood..." He sighed at the end, and it looked like he's given up on something.

"What is it for?"

"To eat."

"Eh?"

"...From your expression of shock at knowing this is something common, I can tell you're a newborn."

"Although..." The man looked at Yuki.

"If you are accompanied by a Snow Clan Maid, then you are someone important..."

Victor flashed a small smile, "You're pretty honest, huh?"

"Living a long time simply makes you become a simple man."

"Hahaha, I believe so."

"What is this store anyway?" He saw several red-colored weapons, and he even had a huge, completely red ax.

Initially, he entered the shop thinking it was a gun shop, but it looks like he was mistaken.

"This is a custom candy store."

"Candy?"

"Yes."

'Isn't that just crystallized blood?' Victor was curious.

He decided to buy to try, "How much is the dagger?"

"It's $300, and we accept debit, credit, and even checks. If you want to use illegal money, we can give you a trustworthy bank account."

"...Dollar?" Victor was genuinely confused. He thought vampires used a kind of currency of their own. He was even a little shocked at the price, but he thinks making daggers with crystallized blood shouldn't be easy.

And Yuki didn't say anything, so he wasn't being fooled... Although it was kind of questionable whether he should trust Yuki in this kind of situation, after all, a rich person's sense of money is quite skewed.

"In the past, we tried to use our own currency, but the economy failed in less than 500 years so, because of that, we used human currency," Yuki explained.

"Oh," Victor was looking at Yuki like she was a walking encyclopedia.

"Master, haven't you studied the basics of our society?"

"Yes, I studied. But what they taught me were just stories about this world, etc. They didn't teach me common sense."

Victor didn't lie. Six months ago, Pepper, Ruby, and Lacus taught Victor the basics of vampire history, but they didn't teach common sense.

And when Victor started training with Scathach, he didn't even think about learning; he just concentrated on getting stronger.

Sigh...

Yuki sighed and asked herself what those women were thinking.

"I will pay in debit." Victor took out a black card that Scathach gave him.

"Okay... But before proceeding with the purchase..." The man looked at the window. "Is that child with you?"

"Huh?" Victor looked where he was looking and saw a child who looked to be about five years old wearing a black goth dress, she had long black hair and violet eyes.

Realizing that Victor noticed her presence, the little girl walks elegantly towards the door and enters the establishment, she walks towards Victor, just when she gets close to Victor, she takes his hand:

"Father"

"..." Victor was speechless.

"W-Wh..." Yuki didn't know how to react.

Victor looked at the young-looking man. "Old man, is this your daughter?"

"My kids aren't that cute." The man denied it.

"..." Victor looked at the little girl again and, seeing her appearance, he had to agree that she looked adorable, even by vampire standards.

"Didn't she just call you dad?"

"Old man, don't talk nonsense. I still haven't tasted the forbidden pleasure."

"Cherry boy, huh?"

"Unexpected, I thought you would be a Playboy."

"What makes you think that?" Victor was speechless.

"Instinct? I felt threatened when you walked into my shop; I thought you were going to steal my wife or something."

"..." Victor.

"..." The old man.

"...P-Playboy." Yuki thought of Victor's wives and his relationship with Scathach, and internally, she couldn't help but agree with the old man's words.

"Father?" The little girl squeezed Victor's hand tighter.

Victor looked at the little girl, and then he knelt down and looked at the little girl in her eyes:

"What's your name?"

"Ophis"

"Ophis?" he questioned.

"Mm," She nodded her head in agreement.

"Why are you calling me father, Ophis?" Victor is absolutely sure he hadn't made such a beautiful daughter.

"Because you are my father...?" She spoke with a cute face.

"..." The old man.

"..." Victor.

"Make sense..."

It makes no sense! The old man wanted to scream at Victor.

"What's your father's name?" He asked.

"Father." She answered.

"..."

"... what's your mother's name?" he asked again.

"I do not know..."

"..." Victor didn't know how to react to the little girl's sad expression.

'Ugh, is she so hard to talk to because she speaks so few words?' He thought to himself.

"Is there someone responsible for you?" he asked.

"... I do not know?" She answered.

"..." Victor sighed.

"Well, Ophis. Do you know the capital?"

"Mm," She nodded.

"Let's take a walk then." Victor's thought was simple, if he walked around with this girl, her guardians would find her; at least, that was the excuse he thought to himself.

He lifts the little girl up and puts her on his shoulder.

"In the end, you decided to stay with her. I don't know if you're a dumb man or a kind man."

"Whatever, old man. That's not your problem, and haven't you noticed how difficult she is to talk to? It will take years to find out who is responsible for it, and I still want to explore the capital."

"...Make sense, just don't get in trouble, boy."

"Impossible"

"Huh?"

"A pretty little girl finds me out of nowhere, and I decided to stay with her for a while. Of course, that's begging for trouble."

"So you are aware of that...?"

"Yeah."

"And why are you taking care of her anyway?"

"Well, it's interesting, right? Why not?"

"..." The old man was speechless.

"Hey, old man. Give me that dagger."

"Give me the card first."

"Okay"

After buying two blood daggers, Victor leaves accompanied by Yuki and Ophis, who was on his shoulder.

A few minutes after Victor left, a woman with long black hair entered the store accompanied by several royal guards:

"Did this little girl come through here?"

Looking at the image in the woman's hand, the old man broke out in a cold sweat, but with years of experience, he managed to keep his poker face.

"Who are you, ma'am?"

"Elizabeth Tepes." She showed the old man a badge she always carries with her.

"…" The old man's whole body shook when he heard the woman's last name.

Realizing he was talking to royalty, he did what every good citizen would do in this situation:

"Yeah, I just saw her go out with a tall man and a Snow Clan Maid."

He denounced Victor to the authorities…

Soon he pointed to where Victor left, and he also gave information about Victor's appearance.

"Good job, your store will be rewarded." The woman turned and left, accompanied by the knights of the royal guard.

Sigh!

The old man sighed. He had nothing against Victor, but that's it, he just met the boy, and he wouldn't risk his neck for a stranger.

Though the old man had a feeling, Victor wouldn't mind.

...

"Master, I think you're overreacting..." Yuki commented, holding back the growing urge to sigh that was building in her heart.

"Eh? But she's so cute!" Victor spoke.

The girl was wearing a black bunny hat that had red eyes, she was holding several crystallized blood candies.

Yuki looked at Ophis, and when she saw the slight smile on the girl's face stoic, she realized she was enjoying what Victor was doing.

'I better not tell this to the master's wives... they're going to freak out.' Yuki thought.

Somehow Victor felt like a father who should spoil his daughter. At first, he just walked around with Ophis sitting on his shoulder, but every now and then, he saw that she was interested in something, but she didn't say anything.

And instinctively, Victor took action and bought her several things.

Victor takes Ophis off his shoulder and lifts her like a child, "Tell me, do you hate this?"

Ophis looked into Victor's red eyes, then she said, "I don't hate it, Father."

"See?" Victor chuckled and soon puts her on his shoulder again.

"..." Yuki sighed, although personally, she found it cute how Victor spoiled a child looking like an overprotective parent... But the problem is that the child is not his!

It's a random kid he found in a random place! This is kidnapping! She can somehow hear the police siren KM away!

"Ophis, if you find anything interesting, just point your finger, okay?"

"Mm," She spoke as she licked the crystallized candy.

Victor even tried to eat these sweets, but he didn't like them, and he even almost threw up. It tasted awful for him, so it was quite impressive to see Ophis and Yuki eating it like it was delicious.

Yes... Yuki ate the candy too, despite being complaining a few minutes ago. The Maid had completely forgotten about her work, she only remembered when she saw that Victor was overdoing his shopping.

The group started walking around the city again, "The city is busier than usual," Yuki commented.

"Is it because of the game?"

"Yeah, as it's a public game, the authorities took the opportunity to make a big event. After all, if Lady Victoria wins, she will become a new Count Vampire, and that will mark a new record in vampire history. Never in history has it happened that the title of Count passed to another owner in such a short period of time."

"I see..."

Ophis points to a children's clothing store.

"Oh? Are you interested in clothes?"

"Mm... Cute"

"Let's go then!" When Victor entered the store along with Ophis and Yuki.

Someone was watching him from a distance.

"What are we supposed to do, Princess?" A young-looking knight asked; he looked quite impatient.

The woman shows a small smile on her face:

"You won't do anything. Just wait outside the store."

"But, princess-." The knight was about to protest, but with just one look from the woman, he was silent.

"Wait here. I won't repeat myself again, okay?" She smiled 'gently' at the knights.

"Yes!" They quickly nodded in agreement.

The woman nods, satisfied, and then she walks towards the store.

Chapter 73: The King's Daughters.

Upon entering the store, Ophis started pointing her finger at various cute clothes. Victor called an attendant and, when the attendant arrived, he asked:

"Do you have a locker room here?"

"Yes, My Lord. The locker room is in that direction. Follow me"

'My Lord?' Victor thought about the strange way the woman called him, but he thought the woman called him that because he was accompanied by Yuki; after all, her features screamed that she was from Clan Snow.

Victor took several clothes that Ophis pointed out and gave to Yuki.

"Eh?"

"I can't go into the locker room with a kid I barely know, right? That would be inappropriate."

"... Unexpected..."

"Huh?"

"I thought my master didn't have common sense." She spoke with a gentle smile, but her words weren't kind.

"...Just help Ophis change her clothes," Victor spoke as he took Ophis off his shoulders and set her down.

"Yes, Master." Yuki looks at Ophis and says, "Come on, Lady Ophis. I will help you change your clothes."

"Mm..." Ophis didn't say anything, she just held a part of Victor's pants as if she didn't want to be separated from him.

Victor displays a gentle smile when he sees this. He kneels and says, "Coming with you in that locker room would definitely be inappropriate. Just listen to Yuki, okay? I'll wait outside." He stroked her head.

When she felt Victor's caresses, for a few seconds, Ophis' eyes sparkled intensely, she seemed to have enjoyed it a lot... Soon, she closed her eyes as if enjoying herself.

Victor stops stroking Ophis' head, "Go. I will wait."

"... Mm, Father." She agreed.

"..." Victor felt his heart being caressed by the cuteness of Ophis now...

Soon Yuki and Ophis entered the locker room.

Taking this chance, the attendant approached Victor, "Lord, are you interested in buying this?"

Victor looks at the object in the woman's hand, "A camera?"

"Yeah, and it's not just any camera, it's a high definition camera that was made specifically for taking high-resolution photos, and with witch technology, the photo is printed on the spot."

"... Interesting." Victor was interested, but he didn't see the need to buy a camera right now.

"But I don't-" Victor was going to refuse, but he stopped talking when Yuki walked out of the locker room with Ophis.

"Looks good?" Ophis asked.

"..." Victor didn't know how to answer.

Ophis' black dress was swapped for a black bunny coat and a pretty black skirt, she looked incredibly adorable!

Victor was speechless and, for the first time, he realized why cuteness is justice.

"Give me that shit!" He took the camera from the woman's hand and started taking pictures of Ophis.

"Thanks for the purchase~" The attendant laughed and walked away.

...

"Ughyaaa! So cute!" Victor was freaking out while taking several pictures of Ophis in different outfits, all the outfits were made for kids, and none of the outfits Ophis wore were inappropriate.

"Master..." Yuki was actually considering calling the royal guards. But she still hasn't done that because she realized that Victor had no malicious intent behind his actions.

He just looked like he was having fun.

Yuki looks at Ophis and sees a small smile on the child, she seems to be enjoying it too.

Feeling a gaze pierce his back, Victor stopped taking pictures and looked at Yuki:

"Don't look at me like you're looking at a criminal; I just realized I liked cute things." Victor was definitely not abnormal.

He liked thighs! Breasts! A grown woman! The cuteness was meant to be appreciated!

Remembering the jokes he played with his wives when they were alone. Victor nodded in satisfaction; adult women are better.

Feeling someone pulling the fabric of his pants, he looked down:

"Ophis?" The little girl seemed to be hiding behind him.

He looked over to where Ophis was looking and saw a woman with long black hair with shades of violet, violet eyes, and pale skin common to vampires.

She had a nice womanly figure, she was thin and short for Victor's current height, about 172 cm.

But despite being thin, she had everything in the right places, B-cup breasts and a perky ass.

She was wearing a short black dress that looked to be quite simple, but at the same time very elegant, she had a black choker around her neck, and on that choker held a small black jewel.

She definitely has the appearance of a cool woman.

'Oh, she finally decided to show herself,' Victor had already noticed her for some time, and he just didn't do anything because he thought she had no bad intentions.

He shifted his attention and looked towards the wall, then his world changed to crimson red, 'They're still waiting.'

Victor's smile grew, he had already deduced the woman's identity, but the question was, what is her relationship with Ophis?

'Maybe her sister?' Victor felt it was quite possible that this was correct.

But one thing was for sure. He was definitely comparing his strengths to the woman in front of him. 'Although she is hiding her power.' He could deduce that because she appeared to be relatively weak.

'But as that man's daughter, she shouldn't be weak, right?'Hello." She waved a hand as she approached.

Victor flashed a small smile, "You finally revealed yourself. I was starting to wonder how long it would take you." He got right down to business.

"..." She was a little surprised that Victor didn't try to extend the conversation, so she displayed a small satisfied smile, she liked his attitude of not wasting time with useless conversation.

"Well... I didn't think the time was right to go in..." She looked at Ophis and the clothes Ophis was wearing.

Yuki approaches Victor and stands behind him, she had noticed the strange atmosphere between the two.

"Admit it; you just wanted to see more, right?"

"...Indeed, my sister is a bit quiet, so it's rare to see her exhibiting so many emotions."

Ophis' grip tightened on Victor's leg.

Victor stroked Ophis's head:

"You say, sister... But she doesn't seem comfortable with you."

"Complicated family." She laughed.

"I can imagine." Victor flashed a smile that showed his sharp teeth.

As he couldn't move properly with Ophis holding his leg, he picked up the little girl and placed her on his shoulder.

"…" The woman's eyes sparkled for a few seconds when she saw that Ophis easily accepted being touched. 'Is he not feeling anything? Interesting~.'

Like Ophis' sister, she knew of the little girl's special condition and seeing a person touching her sister directly and not being influenced made her quite curious.

"We didn't introduce ourselves, huh? My name is Victor Walker."

'Walker?' She has never heard of this family of vampires.

"Elizabeth Tepes, the daughter of the king."

"Oh... Cool." Victor didn't react much.

"..." Elizabeth didn't know how to react, she expected a reaction similar to the one from the owner of the store.

"Is she your sister?" He asked Ophis directly.

"Mm. Sister." Ophis nodded in agreement.

"Do you like her?" He asked.

"Mm, Sister is a good person, Father."

"F-Father...?" Elizabeth stuttered a lot, and her noble appearance of hers went away as if it never existed.

...

Scathach's mansion in the capital that was close to the arena.

"Darling is taking a while... I'm having a bad feeling about this." Violet was impatient.

"It's only been two hours, Violet. Take it easy." Ruby spoke.

"I'll go look for him; I can get to him easily with my speed." Sasha was feeling the same feeling as Violet.

Ruby holds Sasha's hand:

"He'll be back in an hour, and if he's too late, we can go out and look for him. After all, we can easily find him." She was also worried, but she wanted Victor to also have some time alone, especially considering he spent six months training without resting.

"…Violet is understandable, but…even Sasha and Ruby? I never expected to see them make these expressions… I think marriage changes people, huh?" Eleonor spoke, she was sitting next to Siena, Lacus, and Pepper.

Currently, there were only Violet, Ruby, Sasha, Lacus, Pepper, Siena, Eleonor, and Chloe in the mansion.

Scathach had gone off somewhere, she had said she was going to visit an old friend.

Maria and Luna are in the human world.

"Things have changed since that man moved here." Siena sighed.

"You seem to dislike him?"

"...At first, I had a certain prejudice towards him, but seeing him becoming strong in such a short time... And seeing him receiving my mother's affection..." Her voice began to darken every second she spoke.

"... Jealousy, huh." Eleonor could understand Siena a little. After all, Victor seemed quite close to Scathach, which is something she has never been able to do, even though she is Scathach's disciple.

"Wrong. I'm not jealous of him. My opinion of him is neutral."

"…" Eleonor rolled her eyes, she obviously didn't believe it.

"And you, Lacus?"

"Hmm? I like Victor; he's a fun guy." She said, then she continued, "Sometimes when I talk to him, I feel like I'm talking to my mother, they are very similar in certain aspects, I think they match."

"...Why are you talking like he's going to become your father?" Eleonor was speechless.

"...Oh." Lacus didn't realize what she said.

"Victor is a lot like my mother... But he's kinder than she is."

"Humpf. My mother's kindness is demonstrated through actions!" Siena snorted.

"I know, but I also miss hearing an 'I love you' or 'I was worried,' she's not a woman who says these things." Pepper commented a little sadly, she was the one who missed it the most; she was quite emotional about family issues.

"…" Siena and Lacus didn't say anything, but they internally agreed with Pepper's words.

The three foster sisters had the same feelings as Ruby towards their mother, they wanted to be closer to Scathach, but they didn't know how to go about it. And, because of that, they were also a little jealous of Victor for being able to get close to Scathach so quickly.

Chapter 74: The King's Daughters. 2

Victor was walking through the streets of the capital accompanied by Yuki, who was on his left side, who had several bags in her hands. These were the purchases Victor made for Ophis.

Talking about Ophis, the little princess was sitting on his right shoulder and gently holding his neck as if she was afraid of falling.

Ophis was back in her goth dress, she bought several outfits, but she still decided to keep her dress. However, she had said she would wear the dresses at home.

On Victor's right side was a very elegant and dazzling looking woman, and all the little gestures she made were charged with a lot of nobility and elegance.

"Kakakaka, they sure are tense." Victor chuckled as he looked at the group of royal guards.

He waved softly at them, and he could see that some were annoyed to see him making the gesture.

"Well, that's their job... even though they're overreacting," Elizabeth spoke in an elegant voice.

After Victor and Elizabeth's brief encounter at the clothing store, Victor somehow gained new company on his visit to the capital.

The princess seemed quite interested in accompanying him and, as he saw that Ophis wasn't afraid of her, he didn't mind having this princess accompany him.

Apparently, Ophis just didn't want to go home.

According to Elizabeth, Ophis lives in a very isolated location, and she has little contact with other people so, because of that, she speaks very few words.

Unlike before, when he was enjoying the capital in a carefree way, this time, he was more aware of his surroundings.

The group started visiting various stores while talking about random things. If anyone saw it from the outside, they would think the group looked like a group of friends enjoying the local festivities.

In a suspicious-looking store.

"What is that?" He pointed to an object that looked like a black banana.

"This is animal food."

"Oh?"

"In some isolated regions of the East, there is a group of monkeys that can be domesticated, and this is their food," Elizabeth explained.

"Heh~" Victor's eyes sparkled with interest, "Why is everything here the darkest color?"

"Evolution." She said.

Victor immediately understood what she meant, "Oh, as this is a world where there is no sunlight, they evolved differently."

"Yes. Because of this peculiarity, there are many strange animals."

"Interesting...I hope to see these animals in the future." Victor soon turned and started walking again in search of something else that piqued his curiosity.

Elizabeth looked at Victor's back for a moment, she seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Then, seeing Victor playing with Ophis, who pointed towards a strange item, the princess exhibited a small smile on her face and soon followed the two.

One thing Victor noticed was that he was getting more attention now.

It turned out that walking around with an elegant princess caused that kind of effect... And the royal guards who weren't that far behind the group didn't help either. This kind of situation was a dish full of curiosity for vampires who were always bored.

Victor didn't mind the looks this time. After all, they weren't looking at his wife. He just kept his senses alert since he expected something to happen at any moment.

And he wasn't wrong.

Something actually happened... But it wasn't with him.

"Did you touch me? You inferior!" A grown man yelled.

"Huuuh? The street is public! And you were the one who leaned against me, look at my clothes, they're dirty!" The other man, who looked like a teenager, yelled as he pointed at his shirt, which had a small spot of dirt.

"Fuck your outfit. I want compensation! You hurt me!!"

"Fuck you!" The younger man held up his middle finger.

"Hmm. Are they idiots?" Victor looked at a group of Vampires who were arguing in the middle of town.

"Idiots..." Ophis repeated what Victor said, she looked like she was learning a new word.

"... This happens more often than you think," Elizabeth spoke.

"Ego the size of the world..." Victor said.

"Indeed," Elizabeth agreed...

"...I wonder how I would feel if I stepped on these fragile egos, what expressions would they make~?" Victor muttered under his breath with a neutral expression that threatened to break into a smile at any moment.

With vampire senses heightened, the women heard what Victor said, but they decided not to comment on it.

"Hmm..." Victor looked at the two men and saw that they immediately fled when the royal guard approached them.

"Boring. Let's keep walking." He started walking again.

The group walked through several streets and stores, they ended up entering a street that had no vampire in sight, Victor thought this would be a shortcut to the other street, but it ended up being a dead end.

"Let's go back…." He was going to turn around, but suddenly Elizabeth said:

"Unfortunately..."

"Hmm?" He looked at the princess.

"I need to go home, and so do you, Ophis."

"!!!" Ophis quickly gripped Victor's neck tighter, she looked at her sister with an expression that said she didn't want to go.

"Ophis-..." Elizabeth tried to say something, but she was interrupted by Ophis.

"I don't want... Idiot."

Veins began to pop in Elizabeth's head.

"Pff... Cough. What?" A laugh almost escaped from Victor, but he quickly controlled his expression.

"This is your fault. She has never spoken those words before!"

"Eh? I'm innocent, believe me, I never lie. Look at my smile. Is this a liar's smile?" Victor smiled with a smile that showed all of his sharp teeth.

"…" Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"Ophis, we have to go. You don't want to upset our Maid, right?"

"..." Ophis pouted cutely.

Ophis looks at Victor and says, "Give me."

"What?"

"Hand."

"Hmm...Okay." He saw no reason to refuse.

Victor reaches his hand toward Ophis, and soon she does something that leaves Elizabeth gaping.

Bite!

Ophis bites Victor's hand and drinks his blood.

"O-Ophis!?"

Victor looks at her with a curious look, he waits patiently, and in less than a few seconds, Ophis stops biting Victor.

"Yummy~" Ophis licked her lips.

"What did you do?" He asked.

"Mark."

"Mark?" Victor looked at his hand in curiosity, but he saw no difference, and the wound Ophis had made has already healed.

"Yes." She nodded and jumped off Victor's shoulder.

As she falls to the ground, Ophis' appearance begins to distort, she looks at Elizabeth:

"Returning."

W-Wait!" Before Elizabeth could catch Ophis, the little girl disappeared, and all everyone could see was just a dark trail.

"She ran away again!" She stomped to the ground in frustration.

"Hmm..." Victor analyzed the situation. He could feel that the girl didn't run somewhere, she just disappeared from existence; he couldn't even feel her presence anymore.

'Some kind of concealment technique?' He tried to deduce what he just saw.

Elizabeth looks at Victor and, her eyes begin to glow blood red, then she speaks in an ordering tone:

"Keep what you saw a secret."

Victor looks at Elizabeth, then starts to laugh:

"Kakakaka. I will keep the secret, don't worry." He walks towards Yuki, takes the things he bought for Ophis, and quickly gives the items to Elizabeth.

"Eh?" Elizabeth was surprised by several things now, but unconsciously she held the bags.

"I also need to leave now. Be careful where you walk, Princess~." He picks up Yuki like a princess.

"M-Master?"

"Close your mouth, or you'll bite your tongue."

Not expecting Yuki to prepare, Victor takes a step in a random direction, then disappears.

"!!!" Elizabeth was surprised again by this display of speed, "Fast..."

"Princess." The royal guards approached when they realized the princess was alone.

"Who is that man?" She asked aloud, "My charm didn't work... He didn't seem affected by Ophis' condition either..."

"And my sister called him Father..." She muttered.

"Princess?" The guards called her again.

But Elizabeth didn't mind, "I forgot to ask him for personal information…?"

"Wrong…" She shook her head, "Actually, he deflected the questions on purpose."

Elizabeth remembers that when she asked personal questions, Victor pretended to be interested in something and didn't answer her question.

Elizabeth started to think with a frown on her face, but soon she wore a smile on her face, "Whatever. I can get this information easily. After all, nothing escapes the eyes of the king's shadows."

Elizabeth hands the purchases to the guards, "Let's go back. My sister should be home now."

...

On top of a tall building, Victor was standing on the highest part of this structure.

Victor was watching all this from several miles away, he couldn't hear it from so far away, but he could see from that distance because of his special eyes.

'Hmm. She'll probably be interested in me and send someone to investigate me.' Victor was thinking of talking to Scathach, she seemed to know a lot about the king's family.

'Some kind of concealment technique, or a power I don't know about... This world sure is interesting~.' Victor had a huge smile on his face.

"M-Master, don't drop me." Yuki looked down with a bit of fear.

"Kakaka. Even being a vampire, are you afraid of heights?"

"...This has nothing to do with being a vampire or not."

Seeing Yuki's expression, Victor felt an itch in his heart, and it was a feeling as if someone had said 'tease her'.

And that's precisely what he did.

"Don't scream, or you'll bite your tongue."

"Huh?"

Victor takes a step in the air, and soon gravity begins to do its work.

"!!!" Yuki quickly hugged Victor's neck when she realized he was falling at high speed, and she did as he asked, she didn't scream, but she wanted to scream now.

"Good." He nodded in satisfaction.

Victor does a somersault in the air and kicks the building's wall, and soon he disappears from view.

His control was so perfect that he didn't destroy anything and didn't make any noise when he made all these extravagant moves.
