My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires 166-170

Chapter 166: Clan Scarlett arrives.

 

A few minutes after Victor finished his conversation with Kaguya.

The basement of Victor’s parents’ house.

In a private room, the entire Scarlett family was gathered.

Siena Scarlett was the eldest adopted daughter of Clan Scarlett. She was a tall woman at 180 CM, with long red hair like all of Clan Scarlett, a curvaceous body, and F-Cup breasts.

It may not look like it, but she is 700 years old.

Lacus Scarlett was the middle adopted daughter of Clan Scarlett and, different from her older sister, she was a little shorter in height, around 160 cm tall, a slim body, with B-Cup breasts.

Pepper Scarlett was the youngest adopted daughter of Clan Scarlett and, unlike the middle sister, the younger sister was a little taller in height, around 170CM tall, and like Ruby and Scathach, she has amazing H-cups.

Currently, the maid of Clan Scarlett, whose name was Luna, was not present. Instead, she went to get some missing items for the members of Clan Scarlett.

“I see… I see…” Scathach spoke several times as she listened to Ruby’s explanation.

Ruby explained everything that had happened during the incident of Victor and the Vatican Hunters, and she also made sure to say that it wasn’t her who was being hunted but Sasha Fulger, her childhood friend and also Victor’s wife.

Currently, Scathach was sitting on a throne of ice while various weapons, such as swords, spears, and axes, were scattered behind her throne.

She definitely came to this place in search of bloodshed.

“So you’re not hurt, right?” She asked again.

“No, I’m not.”

“You aren’t being hunted, Right?”

“Yes, I already said that a few hours ago…” Ruby was just too tired to sigh now since, no matter how many times she explained to her mother, the woman didn’t seem to understand.

‘Wait… Maybe she came here expecting to have a war? Just for fun?’ Ruby thought it was very possible.

Ruby looked at her mother and thought, ‘Is she disappointed because she has no reason to cause a war?’

Sometimes Ruby Scarlett was a woman who overthought things.

Scathach was just worried about her lovely daughter.

“Ugh, I was sleeping. Why did I have to drag my ass to this place…” Pepper, who was lying on a couch, muttered in an annoyed tone.

She looked like those people who were upset because they were woken up to do something useless.

“Stop complaining, you know that when my mom orders us to do something, we should do it,” Lacus spoke in a monotone.

It’s not like the girls were afraid of Scathach. They just had a lot of respect for the woman who was their mother, and because of that respect, when Scathach ordered them to do something, the girls would do it without question.

She was also a little annoyed at being woken up since she felt like she could still sleep for a hundred years! She might be overreacting…

But the point is, she just wanted to be lazy! Now that Victor wasn’t around, she wanted to use the time to sleep, but who would have thought that just a few days later, Victor would cause so much trouble?

Sigh…

Siena sighed, “Honestly, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt Ruby.”

Ruby narrowed her eyes a little, “…I didn’t get hurt myself, but my childhood friend almost did.”

“Sasha, huh?” Siena touched her chin as if thinking something, “Does Natashia, Sasha’s mother, know about this attack?”

“…I don’t think she knows,” Ruby spoke after thinking for a while.

“Hmm. I think I’ll tell her, after all, she’s Sasha’s mom. She has a right to know.” Siena thought she was doing a good deed.

“Hmm… That might be a good idea.” Ruby didn’t know the personality of ‘Natashia Fulger’ very well, considering she was entirely different from the old woman who ‘died’ in the fight with Victor.

“…” Pepper and Lacus looked at each other and nodded. The two sisters seemed to have entered into a common consensus which was:

‘Let’s have fun!’

As the sisters now knew that Ruby was fine, they didn’t have to worry anymore. Now they could enjoy being in the human world and have fun!

“Oh, but we can’t go out in the day. This sucks.” Lacus with a slightly irritated expression.

“…I don’t want to wear that robe…” Pepper made a disgusted face.

“I’m glad that on the way here we used completely sunlight-proof cars.” Pepper continued.

“Yeah, I wonder why witches didn’t come up with a way for vampires to walk in sunlight… Aren’t they so smart?” Lacus asked with an annoyed face.

“It’s probably because of the ‘balance’.” Siena spoke.

“…” The three sisters looked at Siena, waiting for her next words.

“It’s simple. If witches made that kind of technology, vampires, in general, would get stronger, and likely over time, the balance would be broken.” Siena explained, she was like those teachers who explained to their students everything they wanted to know.

“Oh.” Lacus and Pepper understood now.

“Such Bullshit.” Ruby snorted.

“… What do you mean?” Siena asked.

“…” Lacus, Pepper, and Scathach looked at Ruby.

Ruby elaborated on her thoughts, “They probably don’t know how to do that kind of magic and are using ‘balance’ as an excuse.” She very much doubted that those greedy witches wouldn’t try to sell that kind of magic if they were able to do it.

Witches never changed, they were all the same, and because of that thought, Ruby didn’t believe what Siena said.

“…” Scathach flashed a small satisfied smile because she had the same thoughts as Ruby on that particular subject.

Witches didn’t care about ‘balance’ or something bullshit like that. They just want to make money and monopolize the market.

‘At least that’s what they say…’ Scathach had her own doubts about that matter too.

“Countess Scathach, I’m back…” Luna suddenly entered the room carrying more bags…

Ruby’s eyes twitched when she saw the suitcases Luna was carrying. “…May I ask what this is?”

“I’m moving.” Scathach dropped a bomb.

“Eh…?” Ruby thought she was suddenly deaf.

“I was bored staying home, and things seem to be interesting around here, so I thought, why not?” Scathach spoke as if it were a simple matter.

‘…Why Not…?’ Ruby couldn’t believe what she was hearing from her mother. ‘This is not a hotel!’ She wanted to say this, but she decided to be silent.

“…” Siena approached Ruby and whispered in her sister’s ear:

“In fact, she’s running away from her responsibilities, the king is insisting she make an army, and she told him to fuck off several times.”

“… Mother.” This time, Ruby didn’t hide it and visibly sighed.

“I don’t want to make an army! It’s annoying to deal with those beginners! And it’s also a lot of responsibility!”

Why is she acting like a spoiled brat? Just accept it! With your experience, it should be easy to make an army! And just throw the responsibility at someone else like you always do! Ruby wanted to say it out loud, but again she was silent.

… Sometimes, she just wanted to be like Victor and speak her mind.

But she couldn’t do that…

Sigh…

She sighed again.

Ruby was about to leave the room, but before leaving the room, she said, “You must know about this already, but I’ll tell you anyway.”

“…” The group looked at Ruby again.

“Up there is my husband’s parents’ house. They are ordinary humans, but they know of the existence of vampires. Because of that, they won’t be shocked by your sudden appearance, but we shouldn’t involve the parents of my husband in vampire affairs.”

Ruby looked at the group seriously, “Keep that in mind, okay? Don’t involve my husband’s parents in this chaotic world.”

“No need to repeat it, we know about it,” Lacus spoke.

“Yes,” Siena spoke.

“Yes, I know. We shouldn’t talk about vampire stuff, right?” Pepper spoke in a lazy tone.

“…” Ruby continued to look at her sisters with a dry look.

“Okay.” In the end, she decided to trust her sisters.

When Ruby was about to walk to the exit of the room, suddenly the door was opened again, and Kaguya appeared in the doorway, with her master Victor who was holding a cat for some strange reason.

“Sup, Girls.”

“Victor!” Pepper suddenly got up and screamed.

“Hey, Pepper. It’s been a few days, huh? How are you?” Victor displayed a small smile.

“I am fine!” Pepper laughed.

“That’s good.” Victor looked around, and, seeing the bags the girls had brought, he said, “I see you guys are going to spend some time here, huh?”

“Yeah, is there a problem with that?” This time it was Scathach, who was facing Victor, who spoke.

Victor turned his face to Scathach and flashed a gentle smile, “Of course not. You can stay as long as you like.”

“…good.” Scathach exhibited a small, satisfied smile.

“Meow~” Translation: Ladies.

“Neko-chan…” Pepper looked at Zack with a cute look.

“He’s cute, isn’t he?” Victor laughed while he brought Zack to Pepper and gave the cat to her.

Pepper picked up the cat and looked into his eyes, “…Meow?” Translation: What?

“Ughyaaaa, he is so cute! He is so fragrant! I want him for myself!” She started to hug Zack between her breasts.

“M-Meow, Meow!” Translation: I give up! I give up!

“Hahaha, he was stinking before, you know? He’s only recently had a shower.” Victor spoke, but Pepper didn’t seem to be listening to him.

Scathach stopped staring at Victor and looked at Kaguya.

“Oh?” She seemed to understand something, then she started looking Kaguya up and down as if assessing her; ‘I see, she took his blood, huh?’

“…” Kaguya remained silent, but internally, she was feeling uncomfortable with Scathach’s gaze.

Lacus crept up to Victor’s side and asked, “Hey, Victor… How about we train together?”

“Oh?” Victor’s smile grew when he heard Lacus’ proposal.

“I would never refuse a request like that.” He said.

“…” Lacus exhibited a small smile.

“If we’re going to train, how about calling Siena too?” He asked.

“Eh?” Siena was surprised that her name was brought up in the conversation without her knowing. The inception of this chapter’s publication is linked to N0v3lb11n.

“Oh, that’s a good idea, it’s been years since I’ve seen her train.” Scathach suddenly spoke,

“W-Wait, I don’t want to train!” Siena started to get desperate. She didn’t want to train with Victor!

“Heh~?” Scathach’s smile widened.

“!!!” Siena felt her whole body tremble when she saw her mother’s smile.

“…Fine, I will too.” She gave up because she knew she couldn’t run away when her mother said something.

Victor looked at Scathach, “Will you come too, Scathach?”

“If I go… It won’t be a practice, you know?” Scathach spoke in a neutral tone. It wasn’t arrogance or pride, just an undeniable fact.

She was the strongest in the room, and no one could deny that.

“That’s the point.” Victor’s smile grew.

“…” Scathach’s smile grew when she saw Victor’s expression; ‘Ah~, as expected, when I’m with him, things are always interesting~.’ She thought inwardly.

“In this case, the entire Scarlett family will train today.” Scathach rose from her throne since, somehow, she was getting excited.

“…Huh?” Ruby and Pepper, who were suddenly caught in the crossfire, could only say that.

…

In another room, Sasha and Maria were talking.

“What did you say…?” Sasha’s eyes glowed blood red.

“…Please let me see Carlos,” Maria repeated what she said a few seconds ago.

“Do you know where he is?” Sasha asked in an orderly tone.

“Yes. It is at address XxXxX.” Maria told the address where Carlos would be waiting for her.

“…” Sasha listened in silence, and then she said,

“How do you know this information?”

“Father Julian spoke to me, and because of this sudden information, I was knocked out.” She spoke in a monotone.

“…” Sasha was silent, and she started to think; ‘No matter how I look at it… This is clearly a trap. What do I do?’

Not wanting to repeat the same mistakes from the past, Sasha made her decision; ‘I will talk to my husband and the girls first, and then I will ask them to follow me.’

With the mistake of the past, she understood that she shouldn’t be walking alone since she seemed to be being targeted after all.

“Okay, I allow you to go visit Carlos.”

“… Thanks,” Maria spoke, but she didn’t look too happy.

“Today is too late.” Sasha continued, “You will go tomorrow.”

“Yes, Master…”

Chapter 167: Welcome to my humble abode.

 

Before Victor took the girls to the training room where he usually trained.

He led the girls on a tour of his underground abode.

“This entire hallway was built with a lot of vampires in mind.” Victor pointed to a hallway that had several doors.

“Hmm, how many rooms are there in this place?” Lacus asked.

“I have no idea.” Victor was completely honest.

“Fue…?” Pepper looked at Victor with a disbelieving look.

“This place is huge, who built it?” Lacus asked again.

“The witch, June.”

“Hmm… That witch, huh?” Scathach suddenly started walking in front of Victor.

Victor looked at Scathach and waited for what she was going to do.

“…” Scathach flashed a small, seductive smile when she felt him look at her ass, though he only did so for a few seconds.

Normally, Victor would never do that, but then he remembered the little intimate moments he had with Scathach, and because of those moments together, he reacted unconsciously.

“Come to think, where is that witch? She keeps disappearing.” Victor remembered that he needed to thank her too.

“…she ran away…” Ruby was the one who spoke.

“… Did that greedy woman who loves money run away?” Victor narrowed his eyes.

Victor looked behind him, and soon he saw Siena, Pepper, and Ruby, who looked quite depressed, while they were following the excited group ‘[Victor, Lacus, and Scathach]’.

‘Are they so upset?’ It wasn’t like Victor couldn’t understand the girls’ feelings, considering he knew Scathach could be pretty brutal when it comes to training.

Scathach entered the room, walked to the walls, and touched them, seemingly checking for something.

“Scathach, what are you doing?” Victor asked.

“Nothing, let’s continue.” Scathach turned around.

“Okay.”

…

“This place is the kitchen.”

“…” The group looked at the kitchen that had several current technological equipment and numerous refrigerators.

Why do vampires need a kitchen? The answer is:

This place was built with the intention of storing several hundred bags of blood for the vampires that were Violet’s subordinates.

Often when Violet and Victor weren’t home, the vampires who were Violet’s subordinates would come into the kitchen and pick up bags of blood to drink.

In total, this place had a blood supply that was supposed to last for over 5 years.

“Why is this so unnecessarily big?” Lacus asked.

“…” Victor was silent since he wanted to know that too.

“The place where you live is unnecessarily huge too,” Victor spoke.

“Well…” Lacus looked at Scathach since it was her mother who built the place where she currently lived.

“Originally, my mansion was built to accommodate thousands of servants…”

“But you never used it for that purpose, huh?”

“Yes.”

“…I feel a little sorry for Luna, who has to take care of everything herself.” Victor thought of the white-haired Russian maid who was currently settling the rooms of the Clan Scarlett women.

“She’s fine, after all, she’s a vampire.” Scathach spoke.

“Make sense.” Victor nodded.

…

“This is the bathroom.” Victor pointed to a spot.

“As usual, it’s ridiculously huge.” Pepper was the one who spoke this time.

Victor couldn’t help but agree with Pepper, and he wanted to know how this worked. After all, they were underground, right?

How could something of this size exist underground while the structures above ground were unaffected?

Victor thought of several things, but in the end, he gave up and thought: ‘Magic, Wow’.

There was no use thinking about something he didn’t understand; it was just a waste of time.

“Are you guys going to take a shower now?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea considering we’re going to sweat during training,” Lacus said

“That’s true…”

Lacus flashed a sneaky little smile, “Oh? Did you want to shower with us, Victor?”

“Hmm? Of course.”

“…” Lacus and Pepper couldn’t help but blush a little when they heard Victor’s honest answer.

“Darling…” Ruby’s voice was colder than the North Pole itself!

“Normally, that would be my answer, but I know that’s inappropriate.” Victor showed a small smile.

He’s gained a conscience, okay!? He knows it’s inappropriate! After all, he’s a married man!

…But he wouldn’t mind going into the bathroom with Scathach… But that was something he wouldn’t say out loud.

“…” Scathach exhibited a seductive smile as she seemed to be thinking of something.

“Overall, this basement is just that. It is very simple, so I think I’m going to ask June to add a game room and movie theater.”

“Oh?” Pepper, Lacus, and Ruby’s eyes lit up.

“We can make an anime room too!” Pepper yelled excitedly.

“…That’s a good idea.” Ruby was definitely not against what Pepper said.

“Indeed.” Lacus too.

“…Hmm, how about a massage room?” Scathach suddenly spoke,

“…” The group looked at Scathach strangely since they couldn’t understand why she suggested it.

“I mean, Victor learned a pretty… Deadly massage technique. He could use it on you.”

“!!!” Ruby suddenly had flashbacks to when Victor used that deadly technique on her.

When she figured her sisters would get it too, she started to panic.

“I refuse! It’s definitely banned!” She made an ‘X’ with both her arms.

“That massage, huh…” Siena, Pepper, and Lacus began to remember Violet, Ruby, and Sasha’s expressions when they received that massage.

Gulp.

Unconsciously, they gulped and backed away from Victor.

Victor narrowed his eyes, “… Why are you looking at me as if I were a criminal?”

“Well, instinct?” The three sisters said in unison.

“…” Victor didn’t know what to say when he heard what the sisters said.

“Tchee… In that case, he can use it on me.” Scathach flashed a seductive smile, and soon she began to lose herself in her thoughts.

“… In that case, everything is fine.” Ruby nodded.

“Huh?” Victor looked at Ruby blankly.

“She taught you the technique, right? So it’s only fair that you use it.” Ruby spoke.

“…” Victor, at this point, really wanted to buy a book that could explain the thought process of women!

Sigh

He sighed, and then he walked towards a hallway:

“Follow me, I’ll show you where I train.”

…

Arriving at the training room, Victor opened the door.

“Welcome to my training room!” He spoke with a big smile and seemed visibly more excited when he was in this place.

‘A battle maniac…’ All three sisters thought. N0vel_Biin hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

“…” Scathach couldn’t help but smile when she saw Victor’s smile :

“Oh?” Scathach seemed to have noticed something and was looking at the walls with curious eyes. ‘And to think that a spell to protect a castle would be used to do something like this… Did that witch have such abilities?’

Scathach thought she misjudged June, and, in fact, she hadn’t even cared about June’s existence.

She didn’t like witches very much, but… She liked talented people.

“…Why is it so empty?” Lacus asked with curious eyes; ‘This place is huge! It’s bigger than the other rooms! So this is where he trains, huh?’

“I still haven’t had time to leave this place as I like it, but as Scathach always says, to train in a simple place is better.”

“Indeed.” Scathach exhibited a small smile.

“Hey, hey.” Pepper tugged on Victor’s arm.

“Hmm?” Victor looked at Pepper, “What’s up, Pepper?” He displayed a gentle smile.

“What is that?” Pepper pointed to a spot where Ruby and Siena were looking at.

Victor looked at the cut in the wall he had made while training:

“Oh, this is the result of a power test I was doing.” He spoke like it was no big deal.

“I see…” Pepper replied with neutral eyes, then she pointed to Ruby, who was looking at the cut in the wall:

“Then why is she so shocked?”

“A little explanation.” Kaguya, who was silent throughout the tour, suddenly spoke.

Siena, Lacus, and Pepper look at Kaguya.

Cough.

Kaguya coughed a little to adjust her tone.

“This place was built by the witch June for Victor to train. This place was specifically made to withstand the power of a 1000-year-old vampire, and that tunnel is the result of an attack that exceeded the established boundary of this place.”

Pepper took a pair of red-framed prescription glasses that were tucked between her breasts and put them on:

“Naruhodo, Naruhodo.” Pepper lifted the glasses a little, and, for a moment, the glasses reflected the light from the lamps lighting the room.

She looked pretty smart!

“As always, Victor took common sense and destroyed it as if it didn’t even exist! A terrible existence indeed.”

“…” Everyone didn’t know how to react except Victor.

“Hahaha, don’t you want to become someone like that? An existence that breaks common sense?” He looked like a loan shark who was offering a girl a rare opportunity.

“…Nani?” Pepper’s eyes sparkled with interest.

“…” Kaguya looked at Pepper with a strange look; ‘why is she speaking in Japanese all of a sudden? Has she gone crazy?’

Slap!

Lacus and Ruby slapped Victor over the head, “Don’t lead Pepper astray!”

“Ouch…” Victor pretended it hurt.

“… Victor.” Scathach’s voice was very cold because she could immediately understand what kind of power he used to deal that kind of damage.

Victor’s entire body visibly shook, and then he looked at Scathach.

“You never listen to me.”

“I learned that from you, Scathach.”

Scathach squinted her eyes a little, “Why are you talking like I’m a stubborn person?”

“Are you not?” Victor laughed.

“I’m not.” Scathach strongly denied it.

“Hoo, Hoo?” Victor’s smile grew, and soon he began to speak, “I remember clearly that when I told you to stop-.”

“!!!” Scathach quickly created an ice spear and pointed it at Victor’s neck, “Silence.” She spoke in a tone that did not allow for refusal.

Victor’s smile changed to a gentle one as he ignored Scathach’s spear at his neck and said,

“This is a fight you can’t win, Scathach.”

“Heh~, I wonder about that.”

“…” Ruby’s eyes twitched tightly as she saw her mother’s interaction with Victor. ‘She really doesn’t realize what she’s doing now? Isn’t she denser than my Darling?’

“…This is fucking bullshit, I’m done.” Siena suddenly spoke up since, as a vampire who knew about witch society, she couldn’t help but say it when she saw such irrationality.

‘I blinked my eyes, and he suddenly got stronger than me?’ Siena felt the world was very unfair. What Siena didn’t know was that this kind of destruction was only possible when Victor used his blood power.

A power he still doesn’t know how to control very well.

Siena completely ignored the interaction of Victor and Scathach since, in her mind, she had already accepted that they would have this kind of relationship.

After all, she had clearly seen that when her mother was with Victor, she seemed to be more ‘alive’.

Siena turned, and just as she was about to leave, Scathach grabbed her shoulder:

“Where do you think you’re going, my Daughter?”

Siena’s entire body shuddered when she heard her mother’s voice.

“If I said you’re going to train, it’s because you’re going to train. Refusing is not an option.”

“…Ugh.” Siena lamented her fate.

“Now, go to the middle.” Scathach suddenly kicked Siena in the back.

BOOOOM!

She landed right in the middle of the room.

Scathach jumped towards the middle of the room, “As you tried to run away twice, I will personally train you for 30 minutes.”

Cough.

Siena coughed a little, and when she heard her mother’s words, she quickly spoke.

“W-Wait, mother! Let me prepare!”

“The enemy won’t wait for you to prepare like a fool, you always have to be prepared!” Scathach seemed to disappear for a moment.

“Fuck.” Siena quickly turned her body around and tried to defend against Scathach’s attack.

But the woman just smiled and disappeared again as Siena felt her head being hit.

BOOOOOOOM!

She flew towards the wall while she was broken all over.

“This is brutal…” Kaguya couldn’t help but mutter, isn’t she her daughter? Why did she suddenly do this? As expected from the crazy woman!

“You get used to it.” Victor, Pepper, Lacus, and Ruby all spoke in unison while, for some reason, they all had lifeless eyes like they had given up on something.

“Eh?” Kaguya looked at the group with an expression that said she didn’t understand what they were talking about.

“At least Scathach isn’t pulling out her guts.” Victor shivered a little.

“Or forcing you to punch the toughest material on Earth until you can scratch it.” Pepper had the same reaction as Victor.

“She didn’t freeze my sister’s heart either or break her legs with heavy material for her to gain stronger legs.” Lacus was surprisingly silent…

“She didn’t stick a sword in her body and split her body in half to test her ‘regeneration’.” Ruby spoke in a neutral tone as if this was no big deal.

“Surprisingly, she is being very kind.” The four said at the same time again.

“…” Kaguya looked at the group as if she were looking at a bunch of crazy people.

Chapter 168: Mother.

 

“Good morning, Mother,” Violet spoke as she descended the stairs that led to the second floor.

Anna, who was making lunch, looked towards the stairs:

“Oh, Violet. You woke up?”

“Yes, Mother.” L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

She wore a gentle smile when she heard what Violet said, pondering about what it would have been like to have a daughter.

“Where is my son?” She asked.

“He’s still sleeping,” Violet spoke in a neutral tone.

“Hmm…” Anna looked at Violet for a few seconds while she seemed to be thinking about something, “Well, he’ll wake up soon, he’s always been a sleeper.”

“I remember I had to wake him up several times to go to school.” She spoke with a gentle smile, reminiscing about a nostalgic past.

‘He was so little… Now he’s a big man.’ She laughed amusingly.

Violet flashed a small smile, she could tell that the woman noticed her little lie, but she didn’t say anything because she had no need, as Anna herself said in the past, “Victor is an adult.”

“Aren’t vampires supposed to be sleeping during the day?” Anna asked with a bit of curiosity shining in her eyes.

“Yes, but my husband and I are special.” She responded with the same smile on her face.

“It’s about walking in sunlight and the power of fire, huh?” She put a hand to her chin like she was thinking about something.

“Yes, my Clan is very different from all other vampires, and Darling has inherited that trait too..” Violet didn’t lie this time.

“A clan of vampires that can walk in sunlight, and has the power to eliminate another vampire with just a single ball of fire… And not only that, you are responsible for the domestic and international politics of your world.” Anna couldn’t help but think that that was something scary; Clan Snow had a lot of power in their hands.

‘If Violet wanted to, she could create as many corrupt situations as she pleased and wouldn’t be discovered. After all, she has control of all politics in her world.’ Anna thought, and in a way, she wasn’t wrong.

But it wasn’t like the four Vampire Counts didn’t have people watching them, considering the king’s eyes and ears were everywhere.

But it wasn’t like Anna knew that either since she just knew the basics of the vampire world.

They lived in another world called Nightingale.

They needed blood to feed, and they had blood red eyes.

They were a society that still used ancient titles. Put quite simply, plebeian vampires, who were identified as humans who turned into vampires, noble vampires, who were vampires who were born as vampires, and vampire counts, who acted as the pillars of vampire society.

“Where is Leon?” Violet asked as she looked around.

“Oh, he went to work. Apparently, something was going on that needed his attention.” As always, she answered honestly.

She felt she had no need to lie to Violet.

“Oh.” Violet lost interest in this subject, but:

“What happened…?” Like a good wife, she tried to show that she had an interest in the subject.

“Fufufu~.” Anna chuckled a little as she looked at Violet with her sapphire blue eyes, “If you’re not interested, you don’t have to work hard, Violet. I won’t be upset, you know?”

“…Your perception is very keen, Mother…” Violet showed a helpless little smile.

“Hahaha~.” Anna laughed amusedly.

“…?” Violet didn’t understand Anna’s reaction.

“You are like an open book to me Violet,” Anna spoke with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing the strange face on the white-haired woman, Anna said, “…Don’t tell me you didn’t notice?”

“Notice what?”

“Your expressions are very easy to read,” Anna explained.

“Huh?”

Anna elaborated, “When you’re bored, you start looking around with a disinterested look.”

“When you have an interest in something, you are 100% focused on that ‘something’.” Anna laughed a little since, in a way, Violet’s personality was like a curious cat.

But of course, she didn’t say it out loud.

“Take now as an example: When I told you my husband had a little problem at work, you turned your gaze away with a disinterested look, but in less than a few milliseconds, your gaze morphed into a determined look.”

“You probably weren’t interested in the subject, but since I’m your husband’s mother, you tried to show some kind of interest to try to get along with me.”

“Your expressions tell a lot about you, Violet.”

“…” Violet just stared at Anna with her mouth open, completely stunned, as doubt began to rise inside her heart; ‘Am I really like an open book?’

Violet closed her mouth and flashed a gentle smile, “You’re a scary person, Mother.”

“Hahaha, if you want to be a successful lawyer, you need to do at least that.” She laughed amusingly.

“A successful lawyer, huh?” Violet couldn’t make any sense of Anna’s words.

“Umu! In a way, a lawyer is the same as a politician. After all, for you to be a good politician and a good lawyer, you need to understand people.” She explained, “How are politicians going to rob people if they don’t know how to deceive them?” She laughed a little at the end.

“I see…” Violet put a hand to her chin; ‘Understand people, huh?’ For Violet, this was an impossible task. She had no interest in other people to waste her time trying to understand these people, so she casually ignored the last part Anna had said.

“But shouldn’t you know that?” Anna suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?” Violet didn’t understand.

“I mean, you’re from a Count’s family, right? As I understand it, vampire counts are like governors, and you were born into a Clan that is responsible for domestic and foreign policy.”

“Oh… You’re talking about that.” Violet flashed a small smile, “Let’s say our clan doesn’t need this.”

Agnes, Violet’s mother, always said, ‘If they don’t accept our orders, just burn them… And if the matter was related to another country, just throw the responsibility on the king.’

The king had his difficulties too…

In a way, in the world of vampires, society was more ‘simple’, and Clan Snow was quite a feared Clan. Due to that, few noble vampires dared raise their fangs against Clan Snow.

Clan Snow had no conflict with domestic politics… Now, international politics was an entirely different matter.

Violet’s mother, Agnes, was just very irresponsible when she wasn’t interested in a particular subject.

“…?” Anna didn’t understand what Violet meant, but as Violet herself didn’t explain further, she didn’t go too deep.

Anna turned her face away and went back to making lunch, but so as not to keep the room silent, she asked, “Where are the other girls?”

“Oh, they are sleeping underground,” Violet replied without thinking.

“…” Anna suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at Violet.

“Underground…?” She believed she’d misheard.

“…shit.” Violet facepalmed, realizing what she had just said.

“Well, whatever. You would’ve found out eventually, come with me.” Violet suddenly turned and walked towards the basement.

“… Okay.” Anna had her doubts, but she was also curious about what Violet was talking about.

Arriving in front of the door leading to the basement, Violet opened the door, and the appearance of an ordinary basement appeared.

“…?” Anna was a little disappointed, she thought she was going to see something interesting, but it was just a normal basement, right?

Those thoughts quickly died as Violet stepped on the first basement step. Several magic circles started to appear, and soon the whole place changed.

“Holy fuck…” Anna just looked at everything with her mouth agape, as she was evidently very shocked.

“I talked about witches, right? This is their job.” Violet spoke in a neutral tone.

“…” Anna didn’t seem to register Violet’s words.

Violet exhibited a kind little smile and said, “Come with me, I’ll take you on a tour of the place.”

“… Okay.”

…

Sasha was walking through the basement hallways while she seemed to be thinking about something.

‘This whole situation stinks, this is obviously a trap. Now the real question is why would they tell this to Maria?’ She couldn’t understand it.

‘They should know that anything Maria knows, she’d tell me… Ah…’ Sasha stopped walking, her eyes filled with annoyance.

‘This isn’t a trap for Maria, it’s a trap for me.’ Sasha knew very well that she was being hunted. Apparently, a general wished to experiment with her body.

Rumble, Rumble.

Golden lightning began to crackle around Sasha.

‘Those motherfuckers, just wait, I will send you to hell!’ She clenched her fist angrily.

“Why is this place ridiculously huge? A better question, when was this place built!? How does physics work in this place? If this were built by humans, I’m sure my house would have sunk underground long ago! This makes no sense!”

She was like a machine gun of questions.

“Magic bullshit,” Violet said.

“So you don’t know either, huh?”

“…” Violet remained silent, but her own silence was the answer to Anna’s inquiry.

Hearing the familiar voices, Sasha snapped out of her thoughts.

“That’s Anna’s voice…” Sasha’s eyes widened as she realized Violet had told Anna about the basement.

Sasha walked towards the voice, arriving in the room where she heard the voice. She leaned against the wall and peeked into the place, and soon the image of Anna looking around like a curious cat was seen by her.

“Where are the coffins? Or the blood!? Where is the torture room!?”

“…Just what kind of image do you have of us vampires?” Violet didn’t know how to react to Anna’s questions.

Anna looked at Violet, “Ridiculously cute beings who suck blood in a sexual way?”

“…” Violet just remained silent.

‘I mean, she’s not wrong…’ Sasha thought. When she remembered the things she had been doing with Victor, her face turned a little red.

“We are not like that, we are respectable beings,” Violet spoke with a noble smile.

Anna looked at Violet with a suspicious face and said,

“I doubt it.”

“…” Violet was silent again.

“From what you said, vampires have amplified their emotions, right? They feel things more intensely than humans, is that correct?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Now think with me. You are a jealous woman, and you see your husband walking down the street with another woman.” Anna began to explain things to Violet with a serious look:

“If you were an ordinary human, you would just have a fit of jealousy and ask your husband to explain.”

“But if you’re a vampire, I’m sure all of this won’t end with just one argument, considering you feel things more intensely, then your jealousy will be multiplied, and tragedy will ensue. Am I correct?”

“Well…” Violet didn’t deny Anna’s words.

“See? You are not respectable beings, fufufu,” She made the face of someone who has just discovered the truth of the world.

‘Again, she’s not wrong.’ Sasha knew that a scenario like the one Anna had just invented would end in tragedy if it happened to vampires, especially if it happened to the women of the four houses of vampire counts.

‘What did she say this time?’

Somehow Sasha was having fun too…

Cough.

Violet coughed in an attempt to change the subject, then she spoke in a noble voice:

“Let’s continue our tour.”

“Yes, yes!” Anna was very excited.

“Are you coming too, Sasha?” Violet looked toward Sasha.

“Eh?” Sasha made a surprised face as she appeared in front of the girls, “How did you see me?”

“Your golden hair is very flashy, and you’re bad at hiding.”

“… I’m not that bad.” Sasha pouted.

“Yes, you are.” Violet had no mercy.

“Ugh.”

“Hahaha, I’m glad to see your relationships are good.” Anna was honest again because, initially, she thought there was going to be carnage when three women shared the same man.

After all, she was well aware of how jealous women can be.

‘But I think they get along well because they’re childhood friends?’ Anna thought it was quite possible.

Little did she know that Violet initially tried to kill Sasha and Ruby… Ignorance is bliss.

Violet and Sasha looked at each other, and right after they looked at Anna, they smiled gently, “We’ve known each other for a long time.” The two spoke at the same time

Chapter 169: Powers of the sisters.

 

“Tsk, you’ve gotten weaker, my daughter.” Scathach spoke as she looked at Siena with an annoyed look.

Siena’s state was just too deplorable…

Her whole face was purple and looked like it had been stung by several bees, her arms were pointing in strange directions, and the same applied to her legs.

She had a hole in her chest in the area where her heart used to be, leaking blood, and she appeared unconscious.

Her entire body was covered in lacerations, and the bones in her spine were coming out in directions they shouldn’t.

“…This can’t be called training anymore…” Kaguya couldn’t help but say as she looked at Siena’s state.

The woman just looked like a dead body! Of course, she knew that with a vampire’s regeneration, it would be easily fixed in a few seconds, but it still hurts, you know?

She looked at the group and saw that they had no reaction; they seemed used to it.

“Yes, indeed. She is weak…” Victor suddenly spoke and nodded with Scathach.

He looked at Siena with his blood red eyes that sparkled a little while he seemed to be thinking of something. ‘Very Well, I will do it.’ Then, having made a decision, he soon started walking towards Siena.

“…?” The girls looked at Victor with a curious look since they were wondering what he was going to do.

As he walked towards Siena, Victor cracked his neck a little and looked at Scathach:

“Scathach, this training method is not going to work on her.”

“Oh?” Scathach looked at Victor with curiosity.

“I don’t know why, but when she fights you, she expects to be beaten. She just gave up fighting halfway through, and it pisses me off.”

“…” Scathach squinted her eyes a little, she had also realized what Victor said, but she didn’t know a way to fix this little problem:

As Victor walked, his gloves began to glow brightly, “If she can’t fight you…”

Victor stopped in front of Siena and looked down, “I’ll fight her.”

A frightening pressure left Victor’s body and spread all over the place.

“!!!” Siena’s eyes snapped open, and she quickly got up from the floor…

Her body began to regenerate at high speed, and she eyed Victor warily.

“What are you doing…?” She asked.

“I just woke you up.” Victor showed a big smile.

“…” Siena wanted to say that she found it questionable to wake her with killing intent. That wasn’t how you wake people up!

“This time, you will fight me.” Victor suddenly vanished, reappearing beside Siena, and attacked her face.

“…?” Siena turned towards Victor and prepared to defend herself.

“Bad idea, have you forgotten who taught me to fight?”

“!!!” Siena opened her eyes wide and went to flee from Victor’s attack, but it was too late.

“… Fuc-.”

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

When Victor’s attack hit Siena’s defense, a small blast of air erupted that threw Siena very far away.

“…He got stronger again…” Pepper commented with a pout when she saw Victor use her technique. She felt that this was very unfair since he seemed to not do anything and yet managed to get stronger anyways!

“This is natural,” Ruby spoke.

“…” Lacus and Pepper looked at Ruby.

“The last fight he had was with a Countess, Natashia Fulger. And, in that fight, he evolved a lot…”

“Oh…” Now that Ruby said it, they both realized the truth of it at the same time.

‘He also drank that woman’s blood, and that helped him a lot. Not only that, he constantly drank my mother’s blood…’ She thought.

Ruby knew the special characteristics of Victor’s blood were that by drinking the blood of a stronger being, he would also get a little stronger. Combining that with his natural battle talent, he was a monster that evolved with each difficult conflict he faced.

“Victor is someone who evolves faster when he encounters a tough opponent,” Scathach commented.

“And he never stopped training either.” Ruby continued her mother’s words as she remembered clearly. Every day when her husband woke up, he would always meditate silently as if he was reviewing what he’d learned. And, when he returned to the human world, he started to train alone in this room.

Siena adjusted her center of gravity midair and landed with her feet against the wall, then lifted her face and looked at Victor with an annoyed expression.

“Oh? I like your expression, are you finally in the mood to fight?” Victor’s smile grew even wider.

“…You fucking battle freak.” Siena spat angrily, as she stood on the wall:

“Why did you drag me into this shit? I don’t like training, I don’t like feeling this pain.” Her body shivered as she remembered the state she was in earlier.

Yes, she’s used to it, but that doesn’t mean she likes feeling it.

It’s like bad medicine, you are used to taking the medication, but would you take it willingly? Of course not, you would only take it if it was really necessary.

The situation with Siena is the same since she only trained or fought when the situation called for her to do so!

She was not a battle maniac like Victor and Scathach!

Victor wore a small expression of shock, but then he flashed an amused smile and knew what to do now:

“And?”

“Huh?” Siena didn’t understand. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

“So what if you don’t like to train?” Victor asked again.

“…” Siena’s face distorted.

“Silly vampire… You didn’t have a choice from the start, right?” He looked at Scathach with the same smile on his face.

“Yeah, I postponed it for a while, but …” Scathach looked at her daughter, “You know me, daughter of mine. What I hate most in this world is the weak, and I can not stand to see it in my own daughter.”

“… Fuck.” Siena facepalmed.

“Stop complaining like a spoiled brat and come at me.” Victor raised his hand and beckoned her to him.

“…” Siena looked at Victor with veins snapping in her head, “Mother Fucker, I will kill you!” She was furious!

Siena created a large ice thorn and threw it towards Victor.

“Hahahaha, I’d like to see you try!” Victor closed his fist and punched the ice!

BOOOOOOM!

The ice was shattered into pieces.

“Tsk.” Siena disappeared and reappeared in midair.

She extended both her arms in the air, covered with ice gauntlets, as she pointed both her arms towards Victor, causing two giant ice hands to be created.

“Oh? This is new.” Victor looked at it with curious eyes. Now that he stopped to think about it, he’d never seen Siena fight before. From what he knew, she must have inherited Scathach’s ‘Power’ technique.

“Die!” Siena clapped her hands together.

And as if the two ice hands were her own, they approached Victor imitating Siena’s actions, attempting to crush him.

“That’s a very interesting technique, but you must have forgotten a little detail.” Victor took a step towards Siena and disappeared from where he was.

“Fucker, I didn’t forget.” A cold air rushed out of Siena’s body and spread in all directions, “I got you.”

“Oh?” Victor looked down and saw that he was trapped in the ice.

“Hmm… what do I do?” Victor seemed to be pretty carefree, he could get away easily with the power of fire, but that would hinder the point of this training. ‘Well, I’ll limit it to just using ice.’ In the end, he decided to just use ice.

“Die!” Victor looked up to see hundreds of ice spikes flying towards him.

He reached his hand forward and created an ice shield.

BOOOM, BOOOM, BOOOM!

Siena’s thorns began to hit Victor’s shield and self-destruct.

“…” He flashed a small smile and looked like he was enjoying himself.

“I’m going to wipe that annoying smirk off your face, Fucker!”

“HAHAHAHAHA!

“Heh, it’s been a while since I saw this side of her… She must be very frustrated.” Scathach displayed an amused little smile.

“…” The sisters were silent since it had been a while since they had seen that as well.

“Well, she was forced to train, she doesn’t like to do that,” Ruby commented.

“When my sister gets angry, she’s scary…” Pepper muttered.

“Despite being currently weaker than Siena, Victor has a lot of advantages,” Lacus commented.

“Of course, he learned to fight me. If he couldn’t fight you four at the same time, I would be disappointed.” Scathach spoke in a confident voice.

“… What did you say…?” Lacus, Ruby, and Pepper’s eyes started to glow blood red. They didn’t like to see their mother underestimating them too much.

“…” Scathach flashed a small smile when she realized her little plan worked.

Theoretically, Victor should be weaker than Siena, but…

Victor had the blood of a king and had the three powers of the Vampire Count Clan. He’s a walking bomb of pure power, and because of that uniqueness, he’s as strong as a 500-year-old adult vampire at just 21 years of age. And, not only that, he can go even further with his blood vampire count form.

In that form, his power increases 3x, he can fight a 1500-year-old vampire, and he has inherited three more transformations from the three Vampire Count Clans.

Ice/water, fire, and lightning.

Currently, he can only assume the form of vampire count of the fire element, and, in that form, his power increases 2x, and he can fight a 1000-year-old vampire.

Not to mention that he learned to fight with Scathach Scarlett herself, and the techniques he learned from the woman are simply very unfair.

He’s an anomaly… A freak, a being that shouldn’t have existed, his very existence breaks the rules created thousands of years ago by vampires.

But that’s how a king was, he made his own rules, he walked his own path, his blood didn’t allow him to walk the same path as others.

Following the path already created by other beings was a humiliation for a king!

He must create his own path!

“Girls, let’s fight too.” Ruby surprisingly took the initiative.

“Yes.” Lacus and Pepper spoke at the same time.

As daughters of Scathach, the three women also had their pride, and they didn’t like it when their mother underestimated them so much.

The three sisters looked at each other, then disappeared.

Victor, who was defending Siena’s attack, suddenly felt someone approaching from his side, so he turned his face and saw Pepper’s cute face that was very serious.

“Shi-.”

“Eyyy!”

BOOOOOM!

Pepper’s small fist that was covered with an ice gauntlet made by Ruby hit Victor’s stomach and-

Victor flew towards the wall.

As he was flying through the air, Victor looked up and saw Lacus, who had a cold little smile on her face, while she was holding two ice daggers:

“It’s a little irritating to know that someone younger has managed to outrun my speed, but I won’t stay behind.” Then, Lacus’ body transformed into mist and appeared to pass through Victor’s body.

Cut, Cut, Cut!

Victor’s entire body was covered in cuts.

And before Victor’s body hit the wall, he felt someone behind him, and it was a presence he knew well.

“Darling~.” Despite speaking with a loving smile, Ruby’s actions were anything but loving!

Ruby positioned herself in a way that appeared as though she were going to throw something, giving way to an ice spear being created, as she sent it towards Victor.

The spear pierced Victor’s body and froze him.

Ruby created another ice spear and, using the spear’s handle, she sent Victor flying across the room in the opposite direction!

A combo of the three Scarlett sisters!

BOOOOOOM!

Victor’s back slammed against the wall, his face showing a little shock since he didn’t expect the sisters to unite to attack him. But, slowly, that shocked face changed into a big smile:

‘This is interesting!’ He definitely didn’t hate this surprise. In fact, he liked it a lot!

Siena, Lacus, Pepper, and Ruby stood next to each other and looked towards Victor.

Lacus had two ice daggers.

Pepper was wearing gloves made of ice.

Ruby had a spear in her hand.

“Girls?” Siena didn’t understand anything.

“Don’t think too much, Big Sister. Let’s do it like the old days.”

She hit the ground with the shaft of her spear, “Fight my husband as if you were fighting our mother.” Ruby spoke in a serious tone.

Victor came out of the crater and fell to the ground while his entire wounded body began to heal at high speed.

“That regeneration is insane…” Lacus couldn’t help but mutter.

Gulp.

Seeing the big smile on Victor’s face, Pepper couldn’t help but gulp, ‘He really is like my mom, even the feeling is the same.’

‘But I won’t lose!’ She banged her fists together, determined!

Seeing the weapons in the girls’ hands, Victor thought it would be unfair for him to fight unarmed, right?

He created an ice greatsword, admired it a little, and then pointed the sword at the girls.

“He is coming,” Ruby spoke.

Chapter 170: Mother and Mother.

 

A few hours of training had passed.

Victor had fought the four sisters, and he was having a hard time fighting back.

The sisters’ combo was terrifying, and because they’ve known each other for such a long time, they worked very well together.

Scathach, who had been watching the fight from the beginning, said:

“Good, Good.” She nodded in satisfaction several times when she saw how Victor and her daughters performed.

‘When you fight someone who has different fighting styles, you learn a lot… That’s what Victor must be experiencing now. After all, he’s never fought with individuals who work so well as a team, and at the same time, all those individuals are strong.’ She thought.

Siena, who is the eldest of the four sisters, used her superior power as support and attacked Victor from a distance. Meanwhile, Ruby, who had greater stamina and skill with a spear, attacked from close range, always making sure to occupy Victor’s attention as much as possible…

In the meantime, Pepper helped Ruby and attacked Victor with her destructive punches, and Lacus acted as an assassin in the shadows.

If we look at this scene as if it were a game, Ruby was the leader and the tank of the team. Siena was the mage with great power who attacked from a distance, Pepper was the fighter who had high damage and low defense, and Lacus was the assassin who constantly tried to catch Victor off guard, and like Pepper, she had low defense.

Now the question was, what was Victor considered when fighting the four girls?

Of course, he was the Final Boss.

And what is the Final Boss? He is an individual who is good at everything but is a master of none. But as he has a lot of power, he is a very irritating individual to defeat!

“HAHAHAHAHAH~, This is fun!” Victor was having a great time, despite being cut all over and holding only a broken Greatsword.

He couldn’t lie, he was having a hard time fighting the four sister combination just using the power of ice, but this was a very good thing!

He could feel it! Even if it was little, he was evolving!

And this new experience of being attacked from all sides and not being able to react was something amazing!

“Stop laughing!” Lacus appeared behind Victor and severed his arm with her ice daggers.

As Victor’s arm flew through the air, Victor looked back.

But before he could shift his attention to Lacus, he felt a spear coming towards him.

“Ara, Darling. Please don’t look at the other girls.” Ruby had a gentle smile on her face; it was the same smile Natalia gave to people. It seemed as though Ruby was slowly being influenced by the maid, even though she only spent some time with her.

Lacus seized the moment Ruby interfered and disappeared into mist.

Victor quickly jumped back, and in the meantime, his flying arm turned to blood and returned back to his body.

Soon, he created an ice shield in front of him and defended himself from the thorns Siena was releasing.

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!

The sounds of Siena’s ice thorns hitting Victor’s shield were heard all around.

As he defended Siena’s attack, he turned his head to the side and saw Pepper approaching him, and, in one quick move, he created another shield.

Pepper clenched her fist, “Eyy!” And slugged Victor’s shield.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The shield shattered into pieces.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lacus appeared behind Victor from the mist and pierced his heart.

She spun Victor’s body around herself and threw him into the air!

Victor looked to the side and saw a giant thorn flying towards him.

“HAHAHAHAHA, the combination of you sisters is certainly deadly!”

“He noticed, huh? As expected.” Scathach displayed a little satisfied smile.

Victor immediately noticed his weakness in this little ‘training’.

He was really bad at fighting multiple opponents! Mainly opponents who could work as a team, and not only that, he also realized that the Greatsword was useless with opponents who could move at high speed.

He’d already lost count of how many times the Ice Greatsword he created was destroyed by the girls.

He didn’t realize this until now because all the opponents he faced as a group were very weak individually, and all he needed to do was kill one by one.

‘I must learn to use another weapon… Wrong, one is not enough. Like Scathach, I must learn to use several weapons. With my ice power, I can switch weapons in combat as often as necessary.’ He made a decision when he realized his weakness.

“What is that noise?”

“Hmm?” Hearing a woman’s voice, Scathach looked towards the entrance to the training room.

“W-Wait, Mother. Do not enter this place!” She heard Violet’s voice.

“Oh? So this is where you hide the coffin…”

“Like I said, there’s no coffin in this place!” This time it was Sasha’s voice.

“What kind of vampires are you!? How can you not have a coffin!?”

“Just forget about this coffin story!” Sasha looked pretty frustrated.

“…” A moment of silence fell into place, and soon Scathach heard the woman’s voice again.

“So this is where you hide your victims!”

“There are no victims here! We don’t need to do this!” Violet screamed.

Anna ignored Violet and opened the door with a bang!

BAMMM!

“Oh, she got in… She got in!” Sasha started to freak out.

Anna entered the training room, and the first thing she saw was Victor fighting four women with long red hair, and one of those women was his own wife!

Anna also noticed that these women looked a lot like each other, at least in the red hair part…

Anna walked in just as the gigantic thorn was flying towards Victor.

“Vic-.” She was going to call Victor but was surprised when Victor fixed his center of gravity and attacked the ice with his own fists!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The ice that Siena threw was completely evaporated from existence by Victor’s punches.

“Holy Fuck…” Anna opened her mouth in pure shock. She had never seen anything so out of the ordinary before in her life.

“Well, now It’s in God’s hands.” Violet gestured as if she no longer cared about the consequences.

“God doesn’t care about us, don’t you remember?” Sasha spoke.

Violet squinted, “It’s just a way of expressing yourself!”

“Oh…” Sometimes Sasha was too innocent.

“Tsk, he really is very tough.” Siena clicked her tongue in annoyance.

“Let’s do it together,” Ruby ordered.

“…” The sisters nodded, and then they gathered in one place.

Victor landed on the ground, cracked his neck a little, and stretched his arms. He seemed to be warming up.

“This is weird…” He suddenly spoke.

“…What?” Pepper, as the most curious, asked.

“I mean, your teamwork is certainly impressive, I’m obviously at odds, but…” He was silent while thinking of the right words to say. After all, he was terrible at explaining things.

“Huh? Can you explain your thoughts more clearly?” Siena spoke.

“…” Lacus was silent.

“Darling?” Ruby caught Victor’s attention.

“I feel like the way you girls are training is wrong.”

“…” Scathach exhibited a small smile.

“Example, you Pepper.” He pointed at Pepper.

“Fwe?”

“You’re too slow.” Victor was brutally honest as usual.

“Ehhh?”

“If it weren’t for Lacus’ assistance, you would be easily eliminated by me. How come you are so slow?” Victor didn’t understand that. Wasn’t Pepper supposed to be faster as a vampire, right?

What he didn’t realize was that his speed standard was too high.

“Ugnyuuuu! I’m not fat!” She made a cute sound, and as expected, she completely got it all wrong…

“… I did not say that.” Victor was speechless.

“I know~. Hehehe~.”

“…” Victor showed a slight gentle smile when he saw Pepper’s banter, then looked at Lacus and continued: The inception of this chapter’s publication is linked to N0v3l.B1n.

“Lacus, you are fast, but you are very weak physically.”

“I know that. Because of that, I train to increase my speed.” Lacus spoke honestly.

“I think that’s the wrong thought.”

“Huh?”

“You shouldn’t sacrifice your other characteristics, just for the sake of speed. For example, even if you’re fast, you can train your stamina to increase your endurance, right?”

“Well…” Lacus had never thought about it before since she just thought that maxing out her speed would be enough.

“Siena.”

“What is it?”

“Your attack pattern is very predictable, why do you always attack with spikes or ice hands? Be more creative, woman!! Do you have chicken brains!?” He was brutally honest with Siena.

Veins started to pop in Siena’s head, “…This fucker…”

“Every time you attack me it’s always with ice spikes. Frankly, it’s repetitive and tedious. Try to diversify your attacks more.”

“…” Siena was silent since she knew that Victor was speaking for her own good. Although the way he spoke was irritating, she understood that he was trying to help her, so she started to think about Victor’s words.

‘He’s right… It’s always the same attacks…’ And in the end, she found he was correct.

She was so used to using her power in this way that she didn’t realize what she was doing wrong.

“Ruby…” Victor looked at his wife, his eyes glowing blood red.

“Yes?”

“You’re perfect.” He spoke his honest thoughts and felt that if Ruby had the right mindset, she could surpass Scathach…

But for that to happen, Ruby needed to grow older. She had the potential, but not the time. She needed at least 2000 years of experience but before then…

Scathach, who was already a monster, would become an even bigger monster.

“You combine your water and ice powers quite impressively, and you know what to do in battle. But there’s one thing I would tell you to change.”

“You need to be more aggressive.” Victor felt that his wife was too passive in combat, and she waited for the opponent to attack first and then react. He thought this was a waste of her potential.

‘The one who throws the first punch has the advantage.’ Victor thought.

“…” Ruby opened her eyes wide, and unconsciously a memory popped into her head.

“Daughter, you are very passive, despite being perfect in almost everything in combat, you have a big flaw. You don’t attack! You need to be more aggressive!”

Unconsciously, Ruby looked at her mother, who was wearing a small smile.

Seeing her mother’s smile, Ruby exhibited a gentle little smile, “As expected, they really think alike… It gets scary sometimes…” She muttered the last part in a very low voice.

“And now me,” he pointed to himself.

“…?” The four sisters looked at Victor with curious eyes.

Victor put his hand to his chin as if he was thinking about something, “I realized that I’m very weak in group fights. I’m also very prone to losing my focus in the fight as different opponents gain my attention very easily.”

“Not only that, my ice control takes a lot of time… Siena surpasses me at this.” While Siena took a few milliseconds to create ice and attack, Victor took a few seconds.

It may seem like little, but in a high-speed battle, that’s a lot of time.

“My speed without me using my lightning is much lower than Lacus.” This was something he noticed in the middle of battle, sometimes Lacus seemed to disappear from his perspective, and he realized it was because he was much slower than her.

‘That would not happen if I were fighting Lacus alone, but as they strike me as a group, my attention is divided, and I do not know how to react …’ Victor thought.

“…” Siena and Lacus exhibited a little smile when they heard what Victor said.

“Ruby knows how to assess the situation better than I do, and she doesn’t lose focus as easily as I do.”

Ruby exhibited a small, gentle smile.

“…” Pepper was somehow getting anxious and thought Victor would compliment her next.

Victor looked at Pepper and smiled, “My strength is stronger than Pepper’s, so in that regard, I don’t lose.”

“Ugyaaa! Why can’t you compliment me too!?” Pepper felt it was very unfair!

“It’s just the truth.”

“Humpf!” Pepper pouted and turned away.

“Anyway, now I know what to improve.” Knowing the things that needed to be improved, Victor felt his job became easier.

Victor covered his arms in Ice Gauntlets.

“Are you changing weapons?” Ruby asked curiously,

“Yes, I realized that fighting with a greatsword against a group that knows how to work as a team is just a hindrance, so I will use my fists.”

After the Greatsword, the fighting style that Victor most knew how to use was close quarter combat techniques, the same martial art that Pepper used.

“Are we going back to training?” He displayed a big smile as he banged his fists together.

“Yes!” The four responded excitedly.

But before the training could start again, suddenly everyone heard.

“Ara, so you are Ruby’s mother.”

“!!?” Ruby and Victor quickly looked towards the voice, and soon they saw Anna and Scathach looking at each other.

“Yes, and you are Victor’s mother…”
