Chapter 355: Fox Girl Meet Vampire.
“…Huh?” Anna didn’t understand what just happened.
“…was he messing with me?” Anna asked Jeanne.
“…” Jeanne looked at her friend with shock on her face: “Didn’t you notice?”
“…No…”
“…Holy-…” Jeanne had no words to describe her feeling of disbelief, she felt that the entire English dictionary was not enough.
“I mean, no one has ever played with me, so yes…” She felt quite embarrassed when she saw Jeanne’s shocked face.
She had a face that said, how did you not notice that? Are you kidding me?
Sigh.
Jeanne took a long breath:
“That’s why I said you should socialize more.”
“Shut up, it’s hard to socialize with someone when they’re looking at you like a walking piece of meat.”
“Well, that’s true.” Jeanne was well aware of her friend’s difficulties. Women were jealous of her, and men looked at her lustfully. She had almost no real interaction other than with herself or Vlad himself.
And Vlad being what he is, wasn’t one to talk much.
Even in Hell, the place she came from, she was quite feared and the only person she had a decent conversation with was Lilith herself.
Jeanne began to explain to her friend what Victor did:
“…From the beginning when he started talking about us, he was joking. He did it to lighten the serious mood, and take control of the conversation. I hadn’t realized it at first, but when he started pointing directly at you, I realized that.”
“…Oh… What a nefarious attitude, he really is an evil being.” Despite saying that, she had an amused smile on her face, and soon her face shifted to Victor’s back.
“…” Jeanne’s eyes narrowed a little, and she looked at Anna’s tail which was waving like crazy.
“Woman, stop it, he’s not Vlad.” Jeanne more or less understood Anna’s feelings.
Victor’s presence felt similar to Vlad’s, but it wasn’t. He was completely different in so many ways.
Vlad had a heavy and evil presence, he gave off the feeling that this was how a King should be.
Victor had the same feeling, but he had something else. Charisma.
The proof of this was that Anna fell like a duckling into Victor’s play. She was attracted to the man without realizing it, and fell into his rhythm.
‘This kind of existence is much more dangerous because people gather around him even without his asking. His own charisma, his way of acting, and even the way he handles situations are what draw these beings’ attention… An example of this is that Oni who at some point was around Victor acting casually, and all this happened naturally.’ Jeanne could understand this more than anyone else, because she was the same.
She had the same attitude when she was a human. She started out alone, but in the end, she ended up with several companions who in the end betrayed her and put her at the stake.
But that kind of situation would never happen to this man, because he’s strong, and he doesn’t trust people. Only his Wives, and his Maids had a level of obsession for him that is way above normal.
‘Just the taste of your blood doesn’t explain this level of obsession…’ Jeanne thought when she saw Ruby and Sasha’s attitude.
“…” Anna didn’t answer anything, she just looked at Victor with her succubus tail swinging back and forth.
Victor’s smile grew. Cold air left his body, and began to gather beside him, and in just a few seconds an elegant ice throne was created. Victor sat on the throne, placing Ophis on his lap, and guiding Nero over to his side.
The little girl sat on the arm of the throne, and for some reason, she didn’t feel uncomfortable on the cold ice.
Jeanne, at some point, stood beside Victor and said:
“You’re really planning on enjoying the show, huh.”
“Indeed. It’s a shame I can’t eat popcorn.”
Anna approached the other side of Victor, and said:
“It’s started, she’s here.”
The moment she said that, a gigantic portal appeared, and this time it was many times larger than the last.
Step, Step.
Footsteps could be heard, and soon a woman wearing a black Yukata came out of the portal. She was holding a fan in her hand, had long black hair, and nine black fur tails that were wiggling behind her in a mesmerizing way.
And cute little fox ears.
“…Oh?” Victor’s smile grew even wider when he saw something:
“I like that smile.”
The moment she left the gate, and walked a few steps, another gate appeared on the opposite side of the woman.
And the previous vision was repeated, a man with long white hair, with nine tails came out of the gate.
“Genji, huh…” Victor flashed an amused smile when he saw the man who looked very different from the one he saw last time.
If before he seemed like weak and easy prey.
Now, he was anything but that, and he had a pretty irritating aura around him.
‘Divine energy.’ Victor thought: ‘No wonder he’s Inari’s favorite.’
“Doesn’t he look tired…?” Jeanne spoke.
“…Really?” Shuten spoke, he looked at the man and he could actually see signs of tiredness in the man.
“He must have been quite busy these days.” Victor chuckled lightly as he stroked Ophis’s head.
The woman looked behind Genji’s gate with a smile that could rival Victor’s own.
“Looks like you didn’t spare your strength… Good.” ‘Showing the dragons last time was so worth it!’ She thought.
The man came fully prepared.
“…Haruna.” Genji’s voice resounded through the place.
“Do you really want to go through with this? This isn’t the time to be fighting-…!?” He stopped talking and looked at the building.
Seeing the Vampire sitting on an Ice Throne while looking at the situation with an amused smile, his face darkened.
Noticing the look on himself, Victor just nodded slightly while making a mouth gesture saying, “Keep on with your show.”
Seeing that the man was treating all of this as a joke, he could only utter one word:
“Shit.”
“You will not run away from me, I will have you in my Hyakki Yagyō.” A dark power started to come out of Haruna’s body, and she pointed at Victor with her fan.
“The foreigner is not important, so what if he causing chaos in Japan? That’s not my problem, it doesn’t interfere with anything in our fight!”
“Ugh, irrational woman.” He closed his eyes and put his hand on his head as if he had a bad headache.
Because of a certain someone, he had never stopped working since he arrived, his work had basically tripled! He was quite stressed about this whole situation!
“Pfft… HAHAHAHAHAHA~!” An amused laugh echoed throughout the place.
“Well said!” Victor spoke while looking at Haruna with a crazy look:
“So what if the world is ending? So what if Japan is in chaos? So what if the Gods have their thumbs up their asses and tails between their legs as they hide in fear of me? It doesn’t change anything, this fight must happen!”
Rumble!
Lightning thundered in the sky, but it only made Victor smile even more. The Gods were furious! And that only made his smile grow!
“You’ve decided already, so you must go all the way! Fuck the rest!”
“Right!?”
“….” Haruna’s smile widens, her nine tails fluttered excitedly and she said:
“Finally, someone who understands!”
The blood red eyes, and the eyes black as darkness met, and soon a similar smile appeared on both faces.
“HAHAHAHAHA~!”
They laughed in sync, and as they laughed, the two beings’ powers seemed to clash in midair. They weren’t doing it intentionally, it was more like a consequence of having similar personalities.
And this encounter was making the surrounding Yōkai nauseous. They felt like they could faint at any moment from the stifling atmosphere.
“Ibaraki, don’t intrude.” Shuten held Ibaraki’s arm, who looked like a child who wanted to join in the fun.
“Huh?”
“Don’t make the situation any more complicated. If the Onis fight now, we won’t be safe in the future.” He spoke in a very serious tone, clearly he wasn’t asking, he was ordering.
“Tsk, I wasn’t going to do anything.” Ibaraki turned his face to the side. He knew his leader was right. To intrude now would be the same as offending the Gods.
And they couldn’t handle that consequence.
“We both know that’s not true.” Shuten Douji sighed in relief.
Hearing the rumbling laughter,
‘Well, shit… As if that woman wasn’t enough.’ Genji felt like sighing.
Genji closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then he opened them, revealing the change that had taken place.
His blue eyes turned an oppressive neon green.
“!!?” Victor and Haruna stopped laughing and look at Genji at the same time.
“Very well, you’ve made your choice… Now, live by that choice, and don’t regret it later.” He spoke in a neutral tone, but his voice sent shivers through Haruna’s body.
“Finally…Finally, you’ve stopped your shitty acting!” With the same smile on her face, the woman’s aura exploded everywhere, and only her aura alone was causing damage all around.
She pulled her fan, and pointed to Genji:
“From the beginning I’ve never regretted a decision I’ve made!”
“You know why!?”
“….” Genji was silent.
“Because from the beginning I always did what I wanted, when I wanted, and wherever I wanted!”
“There’s no room for petty in my hadō!'”
“….” Victor’s eyes widened when he heard the familiar sentence.
.
.
.
.
[A/N: Hadō, it can mean many things like ‘wave’, or ‘move’. But in the context that Haruna talked about, it’s something like a path of achievement, it’s something like a creed that she believes in. The phrase literally means no room for remorse on your path of conquest.]
