"This is nonsense, what kind of talk is this from you guys!"
How could a piece of furniture of that size be full? The count and his wife, who had returned from a dinner party, noticed the anomaly in their daughter's room at once.
After recovering the broken bed, Earl Motley blew a gasket of anger.
"That's right, how can you guys be so intense!"
Mrs. Sosia echoed the reprimand, then nibbled on her daughter's ear and asked in a whisper:
"Baby, you're not hurt, are you?"
Luna deflated as she was lectured, but in the back of her mind, she was thinking about when she could move out and live with her husband.
But she didn't know that dreams might be very different from reality.
Her husband was still working at that time when most people go to bed and rest.
Late night...
The Pitcher is still staking out the bell tower.
"You guys think I'm a machine that runs 24/7?"
Retracting his sensory vision, he greeted the man who had come over to visit under pretenses in a tone of icy coldness that had yet to dissipate.
"Gee, just came to see if you were tired."
Qishi stood up with his hands behind his back and looked left and right at the tall bell tower.
"It's quite windy here. Are you freezing?"
She was full of concern, like a boss who had come over to shush her, except she wasn't holding anything.
Eleazar looked up suddenly, "I'm out of silver swords."
"Oh."
Qishi replied flatly, and then nothing more.
Eleazar looked her in the eye and said slowly, "So, where's my silver sword?"
"Shouldn't you add some honorifics, like saying 'please' or something?"
"Please invite my silver sword over."
Qishi raised an eyebrow and slowly turned around.
"Are you tired of living again?"
Just as she finished speaking, then she saw that Witcher's face suddenly set in stone.
On that cue, she was immediately and vaguely aware of a dark aura that made her very uncomfortable, bubbling up from below.
She stopped joking at once and quickly threw out a silver sword before lunging down with Witcher.
The surrounding night watchmen, seeing their actions, followed just as quickly.
But all they could see was that Her Highness, who was also a step behind, stood at the mouth of the alley, full of contemplation, while Witcher was searching around inside.
"Two people just disappeared out of thin air here!"
Turning around, Witcher said with unmistakable certainty.
"Their footprints are all still there, that awful smell of booze lingers, and the air around them is full of the smell of panic they gave off when they were in distress, and well... Gushing downward, it was as if they had been dragged into the earth in a flash!"
Eleazar stomped around on the ground, his face astonished.
"It seems... Not a space-based ability?"
Qishi murmurs, "That guy dared to come to Celine?" Eleazar looks up with sudden alarm, "Who?"
"A very nasty guy."
"Please make it clear!"
"Oh, it's a ghoul."
"Ghouls?"
Eleazar narrowed his eyes and said, "You're telling me that those two, just now, were instantly dragged into the gutter by a ghoul?"
"Yeah, after all, it's a Legendary-class ghoul, so the hole-digging ability must be a bit stronger as well."
This ability to instantly crack open the earth and devour people, and in the blink of an eye return to being as good as new, and call it 'punching holes'?
Eleazar frowned slightly, "Please, please, please tell me more about this ghoul."
Qishi, however, waved his hand and said, "Can't say for sure yet, just the scent is a bit similar."
"But in case you do run into one back there, just deal with it as if it's a ghoul lord."
Witcher turned back to her and glanced at her.
"The damned, and the creatures of darkness, are two completely different species, please don't confuse them!"
"Like this?" Qishi cocked his head.
"Then think of it as a Legendary Sequencer with a mix of blood and corpse pathways."
The rank instantly went up an unknown number of notches, and Eleazar sucked in a cold breath.
"Don't just gimmick it like a newspaper headline, even if you want to rush back to bed, you can abbreviate it."
Qishi slanted him a look.
"Hmm... A cursed person infected with a ghoul epidemic continues to gain promotions and regain his sanity through various coincidences, and finally becomes a Fae Sequencer, sponsored by a magic potion."
"The Shadow Council?" Eleazar coldly lowered his gaze.
"Yeah, they love such naturally powerful carriers the most~"
Qishi walked slowly back with his hands behind his back.
"It's known as the 'Blood Source Doll', meaning domination of blood and corpses, and it's a very tricky foe to deal with yet."
"You ever come face to face with it?"
"Uh-huh~"
"And how was the battle?"
Eleazar followed up with, "What are all the traits of its abilities?"
Qishi stopped suddenly and inclined his head to look at him.
"I'm tired."
Only after Witcher had blackened his face and carried her on his back did Qishi say with a cozy face, "Didn't I just hint at the characteristics of its ability many times, it's to dominate blood and corpses, did you get it this time? Idiot!"
...
Knights Manor ...
"Pfft~"
A muffled thud suddenly sounded in the dungeon, and Finnian, who was in the middle of an experiment, looked back.
"Back?"
Saki casually dropped the two drunks and clapped her hands.
"There was an accident today, so these are the only two."
"Well, hard work."
Finnian, as usual, gave a thank you in a tone that had little emotional rise or fall before turning back to continue the experiment.
Saki asked in a somewhat worshipful tone as she came to the lab bench with her hands in the air and looked at it for a moment:
"Senior Finnian, have you made any progress on your experiment?"
She adored anyone who created a 'beautiful' corpse.
"Soon, it will be time to get the latest findings and replace your heart with a stronger one,"
Finnian said stoically, lifting his chin forward again.
"There's your food over there, take it and get out of here, you're back from your crime, so my brother should be back soon."
Saki casually waved her hand, causing the ground to crack open and swallow the corpse of the failed experiment.
"I ran into my brother today, too."
Saki said with interest, "He's still as gentle as before, it's just a pity that he doesn't seem to remember me, obviously after becoming a Transcendent, you can recall the memories of your early childhood say."
"By the way, Senpai Finnian, do you know Brother Eleazar?"
Finnian still replied in an emotionless tone, "Recognize, he and my stupid brother are good friends and stand together to harbor me."
"No wonder, when I saw Brother Eleazar making arrests all over the academy today, I thought you were going to end up in prison for life, just like that poor fellow Nichols."
Finnian didn't reply, still full of indifference as he did his experiments.
Saki tilted her head slightly, "I'm going to make a trip over to the teacher's side, Finnian-senpai, do you have any message for me?"
"No."
