Chapter 513: Plots happening underneath smooth words.
"Grrr, you took me out of that comfortable spot and brought me to this-…"
Roxanne's eyes gleamed dangerously.
"Nice place... You can at least treat me kindly."
"Fufufu~, I heard that recently you're just eating bananas and not working, maybe I should tell Scathach-."
"Cough, don't be mean, I'll do my job properly... Just don't call that... That... Monstrosity..."
"How ironic coming from a demonic gorilla." Victor rolled his eyes.
"And, she's not an eyesore, look how beautiful she is." A giant screen appeared near the gorilla and the Maids, and this screen showed the appearance of Scathach who was walking around like a queen.
Victor looked at the gorilla with disdain, do you call this beautiful woman an eyesore? You are blind?
"...You have questionable tastes, that's undeniable." The gorilla nodded like a wise old man, and added, "Even if you go to the psychologist now to fix your problem, you will only drive the psychologist mad, meaning the psychologist will need another psychologist."
"Sanity is questionable."
"Madness is just the only answer."
"Pretending to be the joker won't help you out of this."
"...." Victor huffed and stopped communicating.
"Is this gorilla getting smarter, or is it just me?" Mary asked.
"I mean, he's connected with me, if I learn something, he learns too... And I spent a lot of time reading books."
"Isn't that cheating?" Eve muttered:
"He basically learns everything you learn."
"Hmm…maybe?"
"Is this a one-way street, or can the gorilla do that too?" Bruna asked curiously.
"Everything I learn, my queen learns, and everything my queen learns, I learn too, that's how the relationship of guardian and a world tree, a symbiotic relationship works." The gorilla spoke as he crossed his arms.
"And what did he say." Roxanne laughed.
"...Doesn't this mean that Roxanne is smarter than she conveys? Why does she act like this...?" Kaguya asked.
"Knowledge is knowledge, it doesn't completely shape someone's personality, my queen from the beginning has always been carefree, but when she needs it, she can act seriously."
"...." The maids looked at Roxanne, and saw her humming around.
"Hmm~Hmm~."
"Hard to believe." Bruna spoke, she was still hugging Roberta who was starting to calm down.
"Indeed." All spoke at the same time.
...
Arriving at the place where the other guests were, everyone's attention went to the group that arrived.
"Oh? Shiva, we haven't seen each other in a while." Seeing his friend, Vlad flashed a small smile, and walked towards Shiva.
"It's really been a while." Shiva flashed a neutral smile, and greeted his friend.
"How are things going in your kingdom?"
"Everything is as usual." Vlad spoke with the same small smile on his face.
"...." For some reason, Shiva thought his friend was lying, but he quickly ignored it, he had knownVlad long enough to know that few things threatened his friend.
Soon the two started talking.
Victor looked around, just as the guests were sizing him up, Victor was doing the same.
His gaze stopped on Haruna, and became a little gentle.
'Haruna...'
"...." Even though she didn't change her expression, Haruna's ears twitched a little and her tails began to dance mesmerizingly behind her.
'Fufufufu, and to think that Haruna would react like that-nya...' As Haruna's oldest friend, Kuroka could identify Haruna's emotions.
His gaze changed to the angels, he looked at him curiously, but soon changed his target, just looking at the angels was making Victor uncomfortable, and he couldn't feel anything from the angels, it was like a veil was protecting them.
While it was interesting to look at beings with six angel wings, there were still individuals more interesting than them here.
Victor shifted his gaze to the Witches, specifically the taller woman with the crown.
'She, huh.' Making sure to engrave the woman's appearance in his head, something that wasn't too difficult, she was very unique.
If Evie's gaze at Victor had been annoyed before, it was now confused, and somewhat curious, but still mildly hostile:
'What does my mother want with this man? Why does she bless you?'
'It's hard to tell her body language, but why is she looking at me confused?' Victor thinks for a moment, and understands.
'Albedo... Moriarthy, huh... It looks like the 'chaos' witch is somehow related to the queen, maybe her mother or something?'
The judgment of the host of this place was absolute, few things escaped his omniscience, and if he said that Albedo Moriarthy blessed Victor, it is because it happened.
And it was driving the witch queen completely mad with curiosity, what was her mother, a woman she hadn't seen in a long time, interested in this man? What did she see in him?
Not even her daughter has that blessing! She can't help but feel a sense of betrayal.
'I must watch this...'
"Mother..." Alice, who was also curious now, unlike the other witches, the 'daughters' of the queen are privileged to know the queen's history.
Therefore, they know about the queen's only blood relative who is Albedo, a former witch who was also Evie's teacher.
Evie makes a gesture with her hand, and a small magic circle appears.
[Keep an eye on him, even more than before.]
Did the host of this venue really manage to draw a lot of attention to Victor, if before the witch queen had a slight interest, now? She won't let him go that easy.
Victor's eyes fell on the gods, Shiva was… unfathomable?
Unlike the other beings who were hiding behind a veil, Shiva was simply unfathomable, he couldn't get anything, it was as if he was looking at the immensity of the sea.
'... So strong...' Even without doing anything, his instincts told him that, it was the same feeling he had when he looked at Scathach and Vlad when he started training.
He turned his attention to the two bearded gods.
Zeus was looking at him with a rather annoyed look, and... Lustful?
Victor shivered slightly:
'Really? I expected that, but really?' Victor felt like rolling his eyes, and once again she internally thanked Aphrodite.
Something he hadn't expected to do in the past, the goddess is really helping him a lot, and he'd be foolish not to acknowledge that.
On the other hand, the red haired god was looking at him, but his gazes would go to Natashia every now and then.
And that look… Victor didn't like it at all.
"...." Natashia gently touched Victor's arm.
"...Don't mind, those worms always tried to pester me, but I always refused."
"Heh~."
If before Victor had no reason to have a bad impression of the red-haired bearded god, now? He definitely had.
"I didn't think about it, it happened a long time ago."
"...If you weren't from the Fulger Clan, and the vampire faction, what would they do to you?"
"...." Natashia was silent, it didn't take a genius to understand what would happen, after all, this was very common at the time, even Agnes and Scathach did it.
The strong took advantage of the weak, that was the rule.
The weak have no right to ask for anything.
"And I'm not thinking about the past, I'm thinking about the now." Thor's gaze, and his body language gave all the answers for Victor to know he hadn't given up, and that applied to the man beside him as well.
The god who even looked at Victor with lustful eyes.
Victor was irritated by this, and upon learning the details of Natashia's past, the woman just poured gasoline on the fire, the man was looking at his wife with luxurious eyes, and that was reason enough to kill many people.
At least for Victor.
"So possessive~, fufufu~, I love it~" Natashia hugged Victor lovingly.
"…is it okay to do this now?"
"Fufufu~, I'm just a mother-in-law hugging her beloved son-in-law, there's nothing wrong with that~"
"And the broadcast has probably ended, and it won't come back until we're done with the meeting."
The rumor that Victor was with Natashia was just that, a rumor, and no one will ever happen to what happened in the Adrastea Clan.
"If you say..." Victor laughed kindly, he didn't really care, he doesn't feel like warning the world about his conquests or anything like that, they're his wives, and for him that's enough, the rest , is just irrelevant.
Feeling a fierce glare on his body, Victor looked to the direction and saw the king and the werewolves.
Victor's smile grew, and seeing that smile, Volk immediately understood Victor's personality.
And he can't help but smile too.
'Hahahaha~, and I thought that woman was the freak of her race, it turns out that the new parent is like that too.' It is worth mentioning that Volk was mildly happy, he was always good at finding a 'friend' with the same tastes.
"Hmm? Oh? Anderson." Victor turned away from Natashia and walked towards the wolves with easy steps.
"...." Scathach and Agnes looked at this with a light gaze.
Victor and Anderson clapped each other's hands in a strong handshake as if they were old friends.
"Hey Alucard, you keep getting attention as usual."
"It's not my fault, it was this guy who decided to reveal things he shouldn't." Victor rolled his eyes, despite having received Aphrodite's warning, he didn't expect this guy to reveal so much.
'Although it was quite enlightening... Gaia, Nyx, and Albedo, huh?' Victor wondered what these women saw in him to give their blessing.
Nyx could be quite obvious, she is the mother of the night, and he was a progenitor of the vampires, the creature of the night... But if that was just that, Vlad, and Volk would also have that boon.
So he can't understand, and he also has that unknown name that Victor couldn't understand.
"It surprises me how easily he makes friends." Natashia spoke.
"He fought Anderson once, and through fighting, friendships can be made." Scathach spoke and soon she was looking around again with a bored look, but always on guard.
"That's something I can agree with you." Natashia nodded, and looked at Agnes who had a slightly difficult expression on her face.
"Agnes, what's going on?" Natashia asked.
"...It's nothing..." She gripped the sword a little tighter.
Natashia narrowed her eyes as she felt the temperature around Agnes rise.
"Agnes, talk to me, you're Victor's wife now, and my sister."
"...." Agnes looked slightly at Natashia, complicated feelings aside, she felt touched by the crazy woman's gesture.
"Haah... That damn dragon is quite excited to feel several strong people around."
"I'm having trouble counting it."
"...i see, well, even if it's just a sword, the dragon's will is still alive, it's for a dragon, fighting strong opponents is the best thing for them, that's normal... how about-." When Natashia was going to say something more.
Scathach said: "Let me help you."
She lifts her spear, and lightly touches Agnes' blade, cold air leaves the spear, and enters the sword.
Soon Agnes began to feel the control getting easier.
"...Thank you, Scathach."
"You welcome, fufufu~."
"...." Agnes just looked at Scathach with a strange look.
'And to think that she would become so easy to get along with…' She looked at Victor who started talking to Anderson with a neutral look.
'It's his fault, huh… And to think that one man could unite the three vampire earl families so much' is not like they were enemies or anything, after all, their heirs were childhood friends.
But the three families have never been as close together as they are now.
"Everything is fine when it's in the family, huh..."
"Fufufufu, it looks like you're starting to understand." Natashia doesn't know what she thought, but upon hearing your quote, she has to say it, she felt like she was bringing someone to her ideology.
"Humpf, don't get used to it, I just thought of it casually."
"Yeah, yeah sure~."
"Hmm? hey? You got stronger." Victor's smile grew.
"Our fight was quite… enlightening. I realized I had to improve more." Anderson chuckled lightly.
"Heh~, interesting, when this is all over, how about a fight?" Victor asked.
"That's something I would never refuse." Anderson laughed lightly.
While Victor was talking to Anderson and ignoring the existence of Fanir, Volk's first son.
The man himself was looking at Victor.
Unlike his father and brother, Fanir was the one who knew the most about Victor.
'...This is the enemy of our organization, huh.' Previously, he had received information from one of the leaders of the organization he belongs to, Niklaus.
And on that information, he heard that the wolves he lent to man were all killed by one individual.
And coincidentally, this individual was standing in front of you now.
"Hmm?" Anderson stops talking when he feels his brother's gaze, he opens his eyes slightly, it was as if he had forgotten something.
"I forgot to introduce, this is my older brother, son of the same mother, Fanir."
"This is my friend, Alucard."
"Do you have vampire friends now, Anderson?" The man spoke with clear disdain: "As expected of the family's failure."
"..." A silence fell around, and Victor just looked at Anderson.
"...Whoa, is he the one with the dick up his ass?"
"Indeed, you know how it is, being the first child and all, it's mandatory that you be born with a dick in your ass."
"..." popped in Fanir's head, and he looked at the two men with an annoyed look, but the two men just ignored him.
Anderson just did his duty, after all, he has an education.
And Victor had no interest in Fanir, although the slightly hostile look the man gave Victor was rather dubious.
'What did I do to him? This is the first time I've met him, right...?' Victor had a lot of things, but he wasn't a fool.
His strongest point today is his capacity for politics and observation, in short terms he can read between the lines.
From the moment he entered this place, he marked in his head the faces and names of people who clearly had a slightly hostile attitude towards him.
And most of these people he's never seen before in his life.
Which could mean several things, they already knew Victor.
Victor has offended them in some way in the past.
Or there are some cases like Gabriel who just doesn't like being like Victor.
'Although in this case the brother is much more expressive than the angel Michael.' Of all the mythologies, the myth of angels, and demons is what old Victor knows best.
The tale was famous, Lucifer rebelled, and became the king of hell. Michael became God's new representative.
Some things may have happened differently in reality, but Victor thinks that the essence of events has remained the same.
"Oh, let me introduce my father..." Anderson to their conversation turns his head towards his father, and sees the man in Vlad's group, and Shiva.
"Well, looks like that will be for later."
"Hahaha~, don't worry, we'll talk later, no need to rush."
"Indeed… Oh Victor, in the future, do you want to visit my homeland Samar?"
