Chapter 106: Mission: Sweep

"It's too slow~"

On the runway, which is not very spacious, a small transport plane has been waiting for a long time.

And in front of the open hatch, there was a young man, lazily blocking the only entrance, and he smiled and waved to the priest not far away, completely ignoring the complicated and hesitant look in the other man's eyes.

"Father Anderson, he's just a vampire, does it take that long?"

Kars smiled a little teasingly, and then patted his chest as if to take credit

"I've already disposed of all the ghouls scattered around."

After a moment's hesitation, the priest finally sighed imperceptibly, and then stepped up the gangway.

"Mouthy."

With a blank face, he pushed Kars into the cabin and gave instructions to the crew members who were waiting outside.

"Don't go back to the Vatican yet, judging by the current situation, there are still monsters who have fled to Lithuania... Go straight to Vilnius airport! ”

“… Be. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"That's why I hate flying."

Frowning, Karls slammed his back into the tin cabin with a muffled thud - compared to the first-class airliners he was familiar with, the old planes were dark and stuffy, far less pleasant than a boat. What's more, they didn't really come out to travel, so this kind of thing that was more akin to a mobile military station didn't even have a seat.

However, the priest who shared the room with him clearly had no intention of joking.

"Why did you come back?"

Father Anderson's questions have always been straightforward. Be honest with the Lord, and let him adopt the same attitude toward himself and others... Ha, because of this, when he made this decision, Kars was taken aback.

"Because I can't bear to be a teacher~"

The boy deliberately posed as a child, touched the back of his head, and leaned towards the priest's side as if flattering.

"Are you addicted to being a child?"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"You..."

The priest is angry... After five years, he couldn't be clearer about this child's aspirations.

- Karls van Bronck, Weingetz Heising. I have to admit that the bloodline of that clan has indeed given birth to an incredible character so far. Not only from the perspective of a teenager, but even compared with those adults who claim to be scheming, this child is definitely very smart.

He seems to be able to see through a lot of the truth hidden behind the fog, and what is even more terrifying is that at an age when he should be high-spirited and contemptuous of the world, he has already learned how to hide and forbear...

How could such a child not understand what kind of situation he would face if he continued to follow him back to the church?

"You know exactly what's going to happen next."

The priest's voice grew deeper and deeper, and he could not afford to bury his most satisfying disciple - for he was not guilty.

"It's okay, teacher, haven't you already managed to delay for a while?"

Kars still looked unconcerned, and he blinked mischievously.

"Tsk, I can escape with my life under the hands of 'Angel Dust', I really admire the methods of those monsters~ Ha, teacher, if you lie, you can't go to heaven after death~"

"We are sinful people, have you forgotten!?"

This is more like an annoyed rhetorical question than an excuse, which makes the boy laugh even more happily! After all, it is extremely rare to see this expression on the priest's face.

"What the teacher teaches, what he teaches."

The priest, who knew that bickering was not his strong point, simply didn't want to look at his own troublesome disciple, so he also missed the flash of worry in the corner of Kars's eyes...

The boy didn't know that the best option for him was to take advantage of this opportunity to disappear immediately, but the unexpected news did not allow him to do so.

World (5): Song of Hell

Embedded identity: Karls van Bronck, Weingetz Heising

Task:

(1): Sweep - Destroy the new vampire tribe in Lithuania, kill the patriarch Edward Sabonis, and ensure the survival of Alexander Anderson... 5000 points

②：？？？

③：？？？

Atonement Credit: 23,000 points

…

Atonement, which had been silent for 12 years, had finally reacted again, and the long wait had it not been for those tangible forces in his body, Kars would have almost forgotten who he was.

Tonight, however, the cruel nightmare finally struck again.

Kars never doubted the accuracy of the Atonement, so the name that appeared at the end of the mission sent him back on the runway of the airport...

"Keeping Alexander Anderson alive"

The boy meditated in his heart over and over again, but finally gave up the struggle.

In fact, having experienced many failures, he has little fear of the task itself, and although it is strange to say so, a man like him, who is constantly moving forward in almost eternal despair, has a strong enough heart in itself.

The reason for bringing him back here has never been the punishment and loss of a failed mission, but for the person who has been most important to him in these short 12 years... The priest who had never said a word of concern in person, but who was always concerned about his own safety.

As if something suddenly came to mind, the boy laughed with relief.

He suddenly found that because of the existence of "atonement", he had regained some ridiculous enthusiasm - since death was far from the end for him, things such as sacrificing life and forgetting death and sacrificing oneself for others began to become simpler.

Hah, that's probably an unexpected benefit.
