"Knock Knock"

"Please come in. ”

The door opened, and Nalan Yu, who was sitting at the desk, pressed the book in his hand on the table, and turned to look at the visitor.

It was the last time he mutated, and the cannon fodder vampire under Radu III, Goro Suzuki. For various reasons, he is now working in the Red Devil Pavilion.

The work efficiency, according to Sakiya, is an order of magnitude better than those fairy maids. Maybe it has something to do with his life as a social animal as a human?

Goro stood two meters away, and Nalan Twilight looked up at his face and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Yes. Wulang lowered his head, put his hands and feet together, leaned his upper body forward slightly, and said respectfully, "Lord Nalan, I have something to ask for......

"It doesn't have to be so formal. Nalan said and gave him a smile to ease the growing tension, "Unlike your former boss, I'm not interested in old-fashioned honorific titles like 'this lord' and 'that noble'. You just think I am, the senior leader of the company you work for. I mean, you could be a little bit more professional......"

"So," he added, "what do you want to say?"

"Yes, that's rude, Mr. Nalan!" Goro raised his head a little, turned to Nalan, and said, "Actually, I want to resign. ”

"So?"

Nalan Yu was not surprised at all, after all, this guy was not his person at all, and his strength was not strong enough to be retained.

"What's the reason?" asked Nalan Twilight again.

"I'm alive and I have a sister who is more than a decade younger than me. ”

"Is she a vampire?" or is she ......"

"It's human, and it's still very weak, if no one takes care of it......"

"Is that why you want to save your life even if you betray Radu III?"

For this question, Suzuki Goro is noncommittal. After all, 'betrayal' is always dishonorable, no matter what the reason.

"Why don't you turn her into a vampire too?" asked Nalan Twilight again, "That way, she won't get sick, right?"

Goro shook his head and said:

"After becoming a vampire, I realized that this blood society is hierarchical, even more cruel than human society. A small person like me, who has no long skills, can only survive in the cracks, barely mix a mouthful of food, and die if he is not careful. I can't even take care of myself, how can I bring her over here? It's irresponsible, isn't it?"

"I hope she can live happily under the sun. And I, just to guard her in the dark, is enough. ”

"Hmph......" Nalan Yu nodded, "I have to say, you're lucky. ”

"Because you've met me, and I happen to have an old friend who has a shelter out there, and who can provide shelter and proper work for a wandering blood like you. That guy owes me as much as the sky, and it's impossible to refuse my commission. ”

"Mr. Nalan, this ......" Wulang looked a little embarrassed, "How can I afford this kindness!"

"I didn't plan on letting you pay it back!" Nalan said with a smile, "Your former master, Radu III, is a loyal lackey of the 'Hidden Clan', and has been working against me for hundreds of years. At the moment of betraying him, there was no place for you in the society of the Bloodline. When you return to this world, how long do you think you can live if you don't find a reliable backer? If you die, how can you 'protect' your frail sister?"

"Say...... Makes sense. ”

Goro lowered his head, slightly ashamed.

"So I said, you're lucky. Nalan said, stood up, walked towards the door, and passed by Suzuki Goro, "It just so happens that I have to go back to this world to see 'that old friend', if you don't mind, you can take a ride." ”

When Nalan arrived in the library, Remilia Scarlet, Pache Noreki, and Reimu Hakuri were reading quietly at a long table with tea and snacks. The red-haired maiden demon "Little Devil" stands behind Patchouli in a formal manner, serving her master.

By the way, the book in Remilia's hand is the 16th book of "Garfield", "Round and Beautiful", and it can be said that she is swaying with her feet hanging down and laughing silently from time to time, which can be said to be relish. Reimu's book was Agatha Christie's masterpiece And Then There Were None, while Pache was reading a magic book.

They are all books that fit each person's personality very well.

Nalan came behind Remilia silently, nodded her shoulder, and said:

"Remy, ......"

"Huh?" Remilia glanced back at him, "what?"

"Has our family run out of money lately?"

"Like...... Is it a little?" Remilia didn't seem worried, "so what?"

"So I came up with a good way to make a quick buck. ”

"Hmm...... Are you going to put on women's clothes and become an idol?"

"Why do you have this thought?" Nalan said, raising an eyebrow.

"Not what I thought, Fran told me. ”

"You believe what Fran says?"

Nalan twilight pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes. Flandorew's quirky virtues gradually came to his mind.

"She's my sister!" Remilia cried out, pretendingly, "how can I not trust my sister?"

"I'd like you to save that for when you're grabbing food with Fran. Nalan Yu said and sighed lightly, "All in all, in order to make money, there are all kinds of other rambling trivial matters, we have to go to this world." It's not just you and me, we have to bring Sakiya...... By the way, bring Fran with you, no one can take care of her if we are not in this house. ”

"If you go to this world, take me with you. Pache Noregui, who was sitting next to Remilia, suddenly put down her book and said, "I suddenly want to go out for a walk...... What's your expression?"

"Nothing...... You can go out and have activities, this ...... Pretty good...... Nothing was a problem......"

Nalan and Remilia put away their alien looks, looked at each other, and shrugged.

"Really......" Patchouli frowned, pursed her lips, and looked a little unhappy, "I'm not lazy, I'm devoting myself to magic, and I have no distractions!

As she spoke, she puffed up her breasts, which looked quite material even under her loose pajamas, and clenched her fists to look like a ...... Angry pufferfish.

It is also a rare variety of purple and white stripes.

"Then come on!"

Dropping such an airy cliché, Nalan Twilight left Remilia and Pachouli, who became even more unhappy, and came to the other end of the table, beside Hakurei Reimu, and said to her:

"Reimu, do me a favor. ”

Say. ”

Lingmeng crossed her legs, leaned on the back of the chair, held a book in one hand and a salty butter cookie in the other, reading a book while eating, without raising her head, so comfortable.

"I want your help to open a stable portal in the Great Barrier, and use the past to regency and the present. This door doesn't have to be open for too long, just a few days. Nalan Yu said, "While Yakumo is hibernating, no one should come to stop you." ”

"I refuse. ”

Reimu's face was still facing the book, chewing cookies in his mouth, his expression was not moving, and when he refused, he didn't even look at Nalan Twilight.

Of course, this was also Nalan Twilight's expected answer, and he was not discouraged.

"I'll give you the money. ”

This sentence made Reimu's attitude completely change.

She put down the book and the cookies, and looked up at Nalan Twilight's face, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were shining, and she didn't hide the look of surprise on her face.

"How much?"

Isn't that a few degrees higher?

"Remember the mastermind of the mutation some time ago, Radu III?" Nalan said, "After he dies, the Tsepeš family will be wiped out." His family's wealth has become ownerless, and anyone can make a profit. It just so happens that the Red Devil Pavilion is a little short of money right now, and I plan to take this opportunity to empty all the property of the Tepes family. ”

"While my abilities can be used to traverse the Great Barrier, I'm not very good at carrying large cargo. If you are willing to help, how about the treasure that will be brought back when the time comes, we will be twenty-eight, you two, and I will be eight?"

"His treasure ......" Reimu swallowed, "How much exactly?"

"The exact number will have to be known, and I can only tell you that the Tepes family has been very wealthy since ancient times. Nalan Yu said, stepping on the floor twice and making a loud "pop" sound, "After all, this Red Devil Pavilion was their family's mansion five hundred years ago. ”

"Yes...... Reimu couldn't sit still, "That'...... Or else!"

She held up three fingers and said:

"Three seven open, I three, you seven, and then give me the right of first choice!"

"Deal. Nalan snapped his fingers, "When are you free?"

"Now!"
