In order to make the vampires let down their guard, Tabasha asked Sylfit, who was pretending to be a magician, to put down his wand and run out to drink. Once again, a magician could not use magic without his wand.
As expected, the attack happened. However, the one who was attacked was not the girls gathered in the living room, but Elsa who lived on the second floor. After hearing the wails, Tabasha and Sylfit hurried over. Fortunately, Elsa was fine, but unfortunately, they didn't see any traces of the vampire.
According to Elsa, the attacker was a man with sharp teeth.
Tabasha stayed by Elsa's side for the night.
The next day, because of Elsa's attack, the villagers sent their little girls over. Because no one was killed when the vampires attacked, the villagers recognized the knight's strength.
The sun set in the west, and the terrifying night fell again.
The village chief's house, which housed all the girls and young women in the village, was as noisy as an orphanage. The cries of babies and the voices of girls could be heard everywhere.
In such a noisy house, Tabasha was still sitting motionlessly against the wall in her assigned room.
Elsa sat in front of her and looked up at Tabasha's face.
It seemed that she had become familiar with Tabasha.
The supper soup made by the girls living in the village chief's house was delivered to Tabasha.
"Wow! It looks so delicious!"
The foodie Sylfit cheered on the bed and started eating the salad that was served with the soup.
She immediately spat it out after taking a bite.
"What is this! So bitter! Guyiguyi!"
The girl who served the dishes quickly explained,
"S-sorry, this is a specialty of the village called purple grass. Although it's bitter, it's good for the body…"
"I don't want to suffer ~ I want to eat meat ~ I want to eat meat ~"
Sylfit started to complain. Tabasha stood up without a word, strode to Sylfit's side, and picked up the salad plate. Then she flattened the salad in one breath and stared at the bottom of the plate.
"That, that…if you still want to eat…"
Tabasha nodded and handed the plate over. Then, faced with the hill-like salad that was brought up again, he ate it in big mouthfuls again.
Sylfit muttered in surprise,"
"How can I eat such bitter food…"
Tabasha stuffed the third plate of salad into her mouth and looked straight ahead. Elsa looked at her and said softly,"
"Um…Sister, vegetables are also alive, right?”
Tabasha nodded.
"And the meat in the soup and the roasted birds. They're all alive, right?”
"Yes."
"But people kill them all to eat. Why did you do that?"
Tabasha replied briefly,"
"To survive."
Elsa said in surprise,
"Isn't it the same for vampires?”
Elsa asked in an innocent voice.
"Vampires suck human blood to survive, right?”
Tabasha replied in her usual voice,"
"That's right."
"Then why do you say they are evil? Everyone is clearly doing the same thing…"
The girl who served the dishes explained to Elsa, who kept asking,"
"Elsa, you don't want to die from a vampire's blood, do you? That's it."
"I don't want to. But Mr. Niu and the vegetables must not want to be eaten by us either.”
"We'll be happy if we enjoy the meat and vegetables so much. Because they will become a part of our bodies.”
" So I think vampires have the same thoughts as us…"
The girl serving the dishes didn't know what to say.
Elsa looked at Tabasha's face again.
"Sister, why do you think so? Why could humans eat other creatures, but vampires couldn't? Why?"
Tabasha asked,"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because I think you will answer my question seriously.”
"Why?"
"I'm not sure…Maybe it's because your eyes are very cold. It was as if there was a cold wind blowing inside. Icy cold wind, just like the wind that blows on a snowy day in winter…I can feel that icy cold wind. Even though the wind is very cold…I feel that people with such eyes will only speak the truth.”
Tabasha stared at the young girl. After dinner, Sylfit whispered,"
"Alright, I'm full. I want to sleep.”
Then, as they had discussed during the day, Sylfit handed the wand to Tabasha.
"Well then, I'm going to bed, and you're going to take care of my wand as I told you during the day! If anything happens, bring it to me immediately. Ohoho!"
This was the bait plan that they had decided on during the day. The two of them put on a show in front of the villagers during the day to let them know that the Lord Magician would hand over his wand to his entourage for maintenance tonight. If the wand was with the mage, the vampire would not dare to come to the door.
This was not enough. In order to further lower the vampire's vigilance, Tabasha took her wand and prepared to go downstairs.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard the sound of a window being broken.
It came from the room next door.
And then-------- No! Ahhhh! The girls who had come to take refuge screamed in pain.
Tabasha stood up.
Sylfit also jumped up from his bed.
They rushed into the room next door and saw that it was in a mess.
A man grabbed a girl's hair with one hand and was about to leave through the window.
One of the girls, who was too scared to stand up, noticed Tabasha and the others and shouted,"
"Lord Knight! It was Alexander! As expected, he was a 'zombie ghost'!”
Tabasha and Sylfit looked at the man. It was indeed Alexander.
However, the current him was completely different from the dull Alexander he saw during the day. His eyes were red, and a pair of sharp teeth peeked out from the gap in his mouth. He was panting heavily like a wild beast.
It was probably controlled by the vampire's will, and the vampire blood that was injected into his body was released. The person who had become a " zombie ghost " would listen to the will of the vampire's " master " and display their true nature. Zombies and ghosts were the same as their masters. They were no different from ordinary people usually. It could be said that they were quite troublesome existences.
After noticing Tabasha and the others coming in, Alexander grabbed the girl's hair and prepared to escape.
In that case, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Tabatha chanted softly and waved her wand.
"Ilu Wendy."
The wind blade cut the zombie's arm, and he had no choice but to let go of the girl's hair.
Alexander, who had turned into a zombie, escaped through the window. Tabasha also chased after him.
Zombie Ghosts were very strong, as swift and fierce as wild beasts, and they were not afraid of being injured. However, Tabasha was a powerful triangle-level mage and could use a combination of three types of magic. After catching up to the zombie ghost with flying magic, Tabasha burned Alexander to ashes with alchemy magic.
Zombie Ghosts were not humans, but puppets controlled by vampires, moving corpses. Thus, Tabasha didn't feel any pressure when she killed Alexander.
However, after Tabasha destroyed the zombie ghost, Sylfit rushed over in a panic.
"Not good, sister! The people in the village…"
The villagers found pieces of Grandma Masata's clothes in the chimney. Coupled with the exposure of Alexander's identity as a zombie ghost, the villagers were sure that Grandma Masata was a vampire. They burned down Alexander's house and burned the bedridden Grandma Masata to ashes.
When Tabasha and Sylfit arrived, it was already too late.
About an hour later…
"Why did you do that? Coo!"
Sylfit, who was packing his luggage in his room, asked Tabasha, who was sitting next to him.
"Sleep!" Tabasha only emphasized her order again.
"Alright then." Sylfit laid on the bed and started to doze off.
Tabasha stared at the faint light from the candle.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Tabasha stood up and opened the door. Elsa stood outside the door. She noticed the bag and other luggage by the bed and asked,
"Are you leaving?"
"We'll set off at dawn." Tabasha replied briefly.
" Is that so..." Elsa murmured with a lonely look, then raised her head.
"That, that! I have something to show my sister! Can you give me some time? It'll be done in a while!"
"Something for me to see?"
"Yes! It was something that his sister liked very much. Please take it back as a gift.
Tabasha thought for a moment and then nodded.
" Then let's go now," Elsa urged Tabasha. Then she saw Tabatha holding a large wand and looked frightened. Tabatha, who had noticed her expression, placed her wand beside the snoring Sylfit.
"Thank you." Elsa said with a relieved expression.
