"That's Connor's domain ahead, miss. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The coachman was the only servant left in the Connor family, and it was the first time in the long time that the maiden had had had the opportunity to ride in such a luxurious carriage. She didn't know the material of the down cushions, the pure gold ornaments and wool carpets, and the curtains, all of which seemed to have nothing to do with her, the princess of the stinky ditch who had short hair and no trace of the smell of a woman, and who had been dominating the gangsters for a long time.

She wore suspenders and a blouse, and a beret, which was already her cleanest clothes, barely able to catch some tune with the luxurious carriage.

As he spoke, 'Dior' removed the gun from his waist. It was a revolver she had bought from the store with the money she had paid for the 'victory', and she had given three sets of ammunition, but it was of little use other than to threaten people. Now the ammunition was in the suitcase along with the ring, and that was all he had. It's really bizarre, it's just a pre-World War I world, but it has guns after World War II. She couldn't help but wonder what the rest of the world was like—and if she had the chance, she would travel.

"How much longer?"

The girl unloaded the bullet and checked the condition of the firearm.

"Hmm... It can already be seen. ”

By the time the coachman said this, the girl had already finished her examination and put the buckshot in her pocket, at least for the time being. She heard the coachman's words, opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked forward.

The vast plains, the fresh wind, and the waves blowing in the grassland made her feel a little better after being in the stinky ditch for many years.

Soon, the four-story Connor family's main house came into her view.

It's really rich... Although she knew that the British aristocracy was like this, the girl couldn't help but admire, and she stretched out her fingers to play with her own braids—she had tried to smooth her hair a little and tie it up, thinking that at least a little influence on the nobleman would be very beneficial to her life in the Connor family... Possibly.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

"Here we are, miss. ”

The coachman took off his hat and went to the carriage window, and Dio was ready to get out of the carriage, thinking about how to act, maybe she would get a lot of money?

Dior, who was so expectant, picked up her suitcase and stepped out of the carriage, but when she got out of the car and observed the surrounding scene, a black shadow suddenly pounced on her, she was startled, and her first reaction was to pull out the gun and pull the trigger... But only the 'click' of the trigger sounded.

Oh no! The bullet is still in her pocket! Dior's face changed, and the next moment she was thrown to the ground by the black shadow.

It's over, I'm going to be sold far away to live a life of warming other people's beds every day, countless fragments flashed through the girl's mind.

"Woo~Wang~"

“......”

Dio held a gun in one hand and a helpless hand against the neck of the creature that had knocked her down, so as not to lick her tongue at her. It was a sheepdog, staring wide-eyed, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail in a daze.

"Ahh Are you alright, miss?" the coachman immediately came over and took the dog aside, "Please don't mind, Alduin has always been so hospitable..."

"Alduin?" Dior stood up and patted the dust off his body, "That's a nice name, it reminds me of the legendary dragon." ”

The girl thought to herself that if the shadow hadn't been for this shepherd dog called Alduin, she might have died, and she was determined to carry the gun with her in the future, and she couldn't take the bullet like this time, just in case.

"Ahh

On the other hand, the boy, who at first glance looked thin, flirtatious, and silly, ran to the dog's name, and Alduin pounced on it wagging his tail when he saw his master. Seeing this scene, Dior couldn't help but shake his head, then opened the magazine, took out the bullet from his pocket and loaded it back.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Alduin didn't hurt you, hello, you're the one my father said he was... Huh?" the boy smiled and looked at Konoba, but when he saw that the other party was loading it with a firearm, he immediately stood in front of his dog with a shocked face, "No... Alduin may have hurt you, but you can't shoot it! It has been with me for seven years, and it is my friend!"

"You're so annoying... Where's Daddy, Uncle Connor?"

The aristocratic son who failed to make a good impression on Dior at first sight, Dior said mercilessly. This guy is just a greenhouse flower, and Dio is sure that he can beat him two or three now. Dio didn't bother with her, but asked the coachman.

"Ah, it's in the living room. ”

Although the girl was a little disgraced, the coachman nodded, glanced at the boy who was still holding the dog, and then led Dio into the mansion.

The interior is quite luxurious, with a red carpet, a huge statue in the middle of the spacious hall, a spiral staircase that rises up to the top floor, and a mild-mannered middle-aged man is sitting on a sofa in the hall, drinking black tea, and he immediately stands up with a smile when he sees Dior's arrival.

"Sit down, Dio, I've received the letter. ”

"Hello," Dior generously took off his beret and performed men's etiquette, "... Uncle Ian, I'm here to return this ring. ”

As she spoke, she pulled the ring out of her pocket and handed it to Ian Connor.

"That's right... This is indeed... The ring I gave your father, is your father still healthy?" Ian accepted the ring with a grateful face.

"I passed away a week ago," the girl didn't see any sadness on her face, "I'm confused, Uncle Ian, that guy... That is, my 'biological father', who is not worthy of your return in any way, to be honest, he is just a villain, and even if he saves you, it is just a coincidence..."

"Dio... Either way, it's true that your father saved me and John," Ian shook his head, seemingly understanding how Dio had been living in recent years, "I had hoped to give him some money, but he didn't accept it, I didn't spend much time with him, and I had no way to repay him." Indeed, he may be a heinous villain in your eyes, but at least he was a lifesaver for me and John. ”

The mother of a rich boy named "John" was also killed in an accident, while Ian and John survived with the help of Dior's father, but the "biological father" stole the ring, and after being caught by the police for selling the ring, Ian went to prison to bail her father and gave him the ring.

"Oh well... That's your philosophy. ”

Dio shrugged, thinking about how to get paid.

"By the way, Dio," Ian said suddenly, "is it okay to be my adopted daughter? you don't have any place to live now, do you?

“... Huh?"

Wait a minute... The life of a nobleman! A luxurious room! Eat and drink without doing anything! A sparkle appeared in the girl's eyes, and perhaps she could inherit some inheritance from this good-looking old man, and wouldn't she do whatever she wanted!

"Why, don't worry, my family doesn't have so many aristocratic rules. ”

"Good. ”

The girl agreed.

-- Four years later--

At four o'clock in the morning, the girl stood in her room, her hair growing a little. She was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, with her own gun pinned to her belt, and she had just finished checking the condition of her firearm and was now doing a simple exercise.

The technology of this world is very abnormal, so abnormal that Dior mistakenly thinks that he lives in the 21st century, in the past four years, Dior has also been to London with John and Ian, some people are still riding in horse-drawn carriages, there are cars speeding on the road, and even tanks have been implemented in the army... I heard rumors that the countries of the East already have strange weapons that can fly, but they have not yet been put into actual combat.

Plus this gun that many years ago bought by himself... After rummaging through my memory, this gun is a ".44" caliber Magnum, at least a firearm that was put into production after 1979, and this 1868, this 'cutting-edge' large-caliber hunting target firearm has been installed and can still be bought in remote gun stores... This is very abnormal.

To put it bluntly, it is to draw the gun and put the gun away. The window is facing the east, and she gets up around four o'clock every day, and after that it's time to exercise, after all, the book of "DIO" doesn't know what to use until now, and it's better than that unreliable thing.

Thinking of the red-haired traveler's words, Dio couldn't help but sigh.

It had been a year since the book would reappear after a while, and she still hadn't seen it again. There may be some difficulties in literacy, and she can't help it, and has spent her last days at school, in the city a few kilometers away from the estate. Originally, she went to a girls' school arranged by Ian, but she stayed with a group of girls completely out of the crowd, everyone was learning painting, aristocratic cultivation, manners, etiquette, she was the only one who was still literate, and wore a shirt and trousers, if she hadn't grown her hair longer, maybe she would have been kicked out as a boy.

After that, Ian simply arranged for her to go to school with John, and today was their last day of school.

One thing worth mentioning is... Dior's appearance and height have not changed at all since the day she got the book of "DIO", and she simply believes that the book does have some kind of magic. Dior, who is twenty-two years old this year, still looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Draw the gun, put the gun away, and do it in one go.

On the eastern hills, the sun finally broke through the layers of darkness and finally fell, and Dior gasped and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was already six o'clock, and the girl picked up the towel and wiped her sweat.

When there was a knock on the door, the girl's first reaction was that the debt collector had come, but she soon remembered that this was Connor's house. After four years, she still hasn't changed, and she still lives her life in fear, without the slightest sense of nobility. Maybe the Connor family is special, she didn't think so, and laughed.

"Who?" she knew it must be John, but she asked anyway.

"Me, Dior, can I open the door?"

He was talking about the afternoon rugby game, which had nothing to do with her, and she was a woman, so it was impossible for her to go to the men's rugby game.

"Come in. ”

John Connor, this young man is now a "strong man" with a height of 1.9 meters, yes, he is a strong man, with solid muscles, a well-dressed physique, and a handsome face that is enough to make a girl scream, I have to say that the blood of the nobility is really enviable. Dior pursed his lips and wrapped a towel around his neck.

"JOJO, I KNOW YOU'D LOVE TO WIN, BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO PARTICIPATE. Dio said with a bitter face.

"Well... Of course I know... No, who is JOJO?" John looked at Dior, who was covered in sweat, and turned his head with a red face, "I just want you to come to the scene..."

"My father is not in good health, and he still needs to be taken care of, you know. ”

Dio picked up the book next to him, it was a book about the history of Britain in this world. Ian is undoubtedly a good father, more than Dior's father. It's a pity that because he was frail and sick when he was a child, his body can't absorb nutrients when he gets old, and all kinds of problems come with it, but this is not normal, after all, Ian Connor is only in his fifties. Dio had wondered why, but she wasn't a doctor.

"Indeed... But I'd love to have you come. ”

Hearty smile.

Do you, a rich kid, still want to soak your sister? Dior rolled his eyes, although she is only a righteous sister, she is also a sister!

"You can take care of your father when you're free, aren't you?" Dior didn't look at the man who wanted to go to the German orthopedic department with an unkind face, "It's not been peaceful lately. ”

John reluctantly retreated.

It's not peaceful, it's not about war.

It's the "ghosts" that plague all countries in this world, whether it's vampires, werewolves, or monsters, these things seem to have come to this world with a strange technology tree, and they are troubled by the safety of the lives and property of the people in this world. Every country has a department for these things, and in the United Kingdom, where the girl is, this department is called the Hunter's Department.

A few days ago, the Hunters Department sent a notice that there were vampires in the city where Dio went to school, which was bad news.

The girl also sleeps late and wakes up early these days, for fear of waking up and finding herself surrounded by a pack of strange wolves - or not dragged into the dark in her sleep to gnaw only the bones.

She had a hunch that the day was not far off to meet these strange creatures.
