The time was half past ten in the morning, and the location was the sidewalk of the Seventh School District. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kamijo and Steele sat on the side of the road like two stray dogs, panting desperately, pouring cold drinks down their throats.

In the middle of summer, when he was supposed to be prioritizing the air conditioner at home, he had been searching the streets for more than four hours.

His mission now is to find a man in this huge city of more than 2.3 million people with the nickname of Flame Magician Steele Magnus next to him.

Specifically, it's to find a girl named Himejin Qiusha whose ability is called a vampire killer ().

The smell of her blood was a sweet smell that vampires couldn't resist, but it was also deadly.

At this time, an evil alchemist named Oreos Issad is also trying to find and imprison the girl, and intends to use the girl's constitution to capture vampires in order to achieve his evil plan.

What he and Steele are doing now is to find the girl before Oreos does, and save her from the conspiracy and imprisonment.

It is worth mentioning that the girl had met with Uejo Dama just yesterday and had borrowed a precious 100 yen from him to escape by car, and Uejo Tama was unaware of this at the time - Steele had only found him this morning.

What kind of super expansion is this!

"I said Steele, is there really such a thing as a vampire in the world? I know there's magic, but vampires and whatnot, it's unreal. ”

"That kind of thing naturally exists." With an impatient wave of his hand, Steele explained in an expert tone, "The Bible records that Cain killed his brother Abel, and as a result, he was cursed by God to wander forever in the world, the first progenitor of vampires. [Note 1] Vampires are creatures that lurk in the shadows of human society and thrive in this way, such as vampires. ”

"In that case, that means we might have a vampire around us? In this school city? ”

"Are you a fool?" Steele glanced at the hedgehog-headed boy crouching beside him, then opened another bottle of Kirin beer and poured it down. "After the long and dark struggles of the Middle Ages, the Holy See has slain the vampires, and the remaining ones are terrible monsters that even the Roman Orthodox Church finds intractable. Even if they make any moves, whether it's a magician or a church, they will help hide it, after all, no one wants to be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, so vampires are not the kind of things that can be seen casually, but they are rarer than giant pandas.

Steele, who had been pouring wine for a long time, suddenly choked, and he bent down and coughed violently, while sticking out his fingers and pointing into the distance.

Looking in the direction of Steele's finger, Uejo noticed the duo in the distance.

A foreign woman who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old in a red evening dress, and a girl in a Tokiwadai school uniform with cat-eared hats were walking side by side on the street, not knowing what to say, one holding an ice cream in her hand.

While nothing seemed wrong with them, there was an uncomfortable atmosphere around the two of them, making them instantly recognizable from the pedestrian-filled streets, like ...... Two black sheep in a flock of white sheep.

Tsukimiyama didn't notice them, but pointed to the distance and didn't know what to say, so the two of them deftly crossed the crosswalk like two swordfish and disappeared into the sea of people.

“…… Wait, that's—" Steele finally gasped, "the ...... That woman, that's not—"

"If you see the mountain, you don't need to be so excited, right? Or do you actually care about the woman you're with? ”

"That woman, Chesshite Yasai Laura Leon Blade Heart-ahem-ahem-" Steele struggled to his feet, but bent down again and coughed violently.

"You know her?"

"Of course, she's a big name on our side. Iron-blooded, cold-blooded—" Steele finally gasped, his face blank as he spat out the last word, his cold voice like a cold-lit sword, "-vampire! ”

"Vampires?" Shangjo was stunned for a moment, "You obviously just said that it is rarer than a giant panda." ”

"But you can't rule out the possibility of seeing a panda walking down the street, right?" Steele, who was still solemn just now, looked slightly embarrassed, "I see, so it seems that she may also be looking for a vampire killer, right?" Damn, it seems that there is one more enemy. ”

"Looking for a vampire killer? Enemy? "Shangjo was at a loss.

"You still don't understand, I really don't know if it's better to call you stupid or dull."

“…… Don't mock others in the narrative, just say what you have to say, thank you. ”

Steele glanced at him coldly, lit a cigarette and took a puff before complaining, "Damn, Japanese cigarettes are too low in nicotine...... You see, the ability of a vampire killer is a powerful weapon no matter how you listen to it, right? ”

"No, no, no, that ability isn't a weapon at all." Kamijo retorted subconsciously.

According to the information brought by Steele, the girl named Ji Shen Qiusha has nothing to do with combat power at all in any case, and her ability is only limited to 'trapping and killing vampires', not to mention the word powerful, no matter how you listen to it, it is an ability that can only be called rare.

And this kind of ability,Even in the school city,,It's only interested in those research institutes that are super remote in their research directions.。

"No, it's a weapon, and it's a very handy weapon." Steele slowly exhaled a puff of pale blue smoke, twisting and hovering in the sunlight, "That guy's abilities will be associated with it when you hear it, it's a one-hit weapon against vampires, right?" If someone had mastered this kind of thing, it wouldn't have been possible to uproot the 'vampire' virus from the entire human society, would it? ”

“……”

"And maybe use this as a threat to directly control those hidden vampire clans, just like the nuclear weapons of human society. Speaking of which, I really still want to bring this guy back to Puritanism, in the sense of a weapon. ”

“……”

Listening to Steele say such a cold topic, the hairs on Uejo's numb skin stood up.

This is the world of magicians.

There is no morality, there is no goodness, everything starts from the coldest pragmatism.

In that case, even if he defeats Oreos and even the vampire named Blade Heart this time, sooner or later he will be in danger again.

"On the flip side, this is quite a problem for the Thirteen Vampire Clans, and as one of the most powerful and highest-ranking vampires known to date, she is probably here to prevent the Vampire Killer from becoming a weapon in the hands of a certain force - or to kill the Vampire Killer."

"Kill—" Kamijo took a breath of cold air, his right hand clenched slightly, "but since it's called a vampire killer, isn't she afraid of being killed by a vampire killer instead?" ”

"I don't know, but as a vampire who has lived for centuries, I wouldn't be surprised if I could resist a vampire killer. So......" Steele muttered, as if thinking about something.

And Kamijo Danma suddenly realized another problem.

"So that means she's a super dangerous vampire?"

"That's true, but she's a thriftist, and she probably only eats one person a month."

"But—Tsukimiyama is right next to her!"

"Oh, do you care so much about that nasty woman? Looking like that, I guess I was seduced, but vampire eyes can easily charm humans. Steele sneered, "If you think I'm going to help her, that's a pity." But don't get me wrong, even if I'm fighting side by side with you now, don't think that we're in love like this, it's disgusting. ”

Uejo was silent when hemp.

He could hear that Steele Magnus wasn't joking.

He was sincere and did not care about the life of a young girl.

He is from another world.

An outlier in a world called the Magician, to whom the lives of ordinary people are not even a joke.

Realizing this, he clenched his right fist hard, feeling his nails piercing into his skin, and a sharp pain came from his palm.

That kind of disregard for life feels sick to your stomach no matter how you look at it.

When Ma was thinking about whether to punch this magician in the triumphant face-

"Let's go, what's the fuss, let's follow."

"Huh?" Uejo was stunned for a moment.

"There's nothing easier than following a vampire killer to find a vampire." Steele's face still had an offensive grin, "If you don't have the ability to attract vampires closer, you can't be called a 'vampire killer', can you?" ”

Note 1: The Bible, Genesis 4. But in fact, this is a setting derived from the White Wolf TRPG company, and by the way, the Vampire Thirteen Clans and the like are also the settings of the White Wolf.

PS: This book is a funny book, why did I write such a thing? In short, from the perspective of rationalizing the plot and explaining the reasons, this kind of drama-oriented chapter may also appear more in the future-
