Sad Reality
"This is the rumored adventurer guild!"
After saying that, Mary threw open the door to the adventurer's guild.
When Mary opened the door, the adventurers belonging to the Amru Adventurer's Guild stood up all at once and got ready for battle.
No wonder.
Mary is 185 centimeters tall, has a good build, has brown skin, and even has horns.
What's more, she has striking crimson hair and is even wearing a sailor suit with a tiger print.
No matter how you look at it, she looks like the final boss of a dungeon.
"Ooh! You're ready for it! I'll take it!"
Mary grins and grabs the handle of her beloved White Spider sword.
Completely motivated.
"Hey, look! Look carefully! Shiro-chan is next to her!"
The guild leader, Bruce, came from the back in a hurry.
"Ah! Shiro-san is really here!"
"Then, is she one of Cedric's friends?"
Even the wild adventurers noticed Shiro and put away their weapons.
After confirming that the commotion had subsided, I popped my head out from under Mary's chest.
"Bruce-nii! It's been a while!"
"I-I... I don't have a rat brother, but..."
As expected, Bruce-nii is confused.
"Hey! The mouse is talking!"
The adventurer's guild also becomes noisy.
"Just hearing a mouse talk, too noisy, nya!"
"This time, even the cat is talking!"
The Amru Adventurer's Guild has become more and more noisy.
"Hey! You guys, shut up!
The guys from [Falcon Claw] said that Mina turned into a black cat!"
"Now that I think about it, that's right. But I never heard that she can talk!"
Somehow, it became even more louder.
"So, I guess you're Cedric?"
Bruce-nii asks while looking at Mary's chest.
The grin on Bruce's face was dirty.
Even when the bald old man stares at her cleavage, Mary remains manly and dignified.
Normally, she would give him an iron fist, but for some reason, even when Bruce-nii looks at her with lewd eyes, she doesn't get angry and just acts like it's nothing.
Therefore, Bruce-nii's lewd behavior is emphasized...
"Yeah. Big brother... you have a strange look..."
"You are the one I envy."
From Bruce-nii's point of view, it doesn't seem to surprise him now that I've turned into a mouse.
Well, there is a precedent with Mina, and since I once became a skeleton, I guess he thinks it wouldn't be strange for me to become anything.
"For now, come to my room!
It's a little too noisy here."
"Yeah"
We moved to the guild master's room and started talking.
"And who is that young lady?
She's not human, right?
By any chance, Cedric, did you recruit the Demon King?"
Well, Mary has horns, so she definitely looks like a demon king.
"No. This person's name is Mary, and she's an oni person!"
"It's Mary. Nice to meet you!"
Mary bows her head like a samurai.
"Y-yeah! I’m Bruce, the leader of the Amru adventurer’s guild!
I am like a big brother to Cedric!"
Bruce-nii also greeted her nervously.
Well, even if she is not the Demon King, Mary is no different from the Demon King when it comes to the residents of this world.
Bruce-nii also has appraisal skill, so he should already know Mary's ability.
After all, Mary is powerful enough to destroy the Kingdom of Harman, where the Amru Fortress City is located, single-handedly.
"Hey! What do you mean? Weren’t you grandmother’s older brother!
No matter how I look at it, this guy is just a normal person, right?"
Mary asks with a dubious look on her face.
"Well, well, calm down!
I died once and was reincarnated!
It was before I was reincarnated that I was the Ancestor's older brother!"
"Is that so?"
"That’s right. I often talk about Earth, right?
So, I was the Ancestor's older brother!"
"Indeed. Earth is an amazing place!
And to be from that Earth, grandmother is amazing!"
I said something appropriate and put down simple Mary.
It seems that Mary's imagination is expanding that the place called Earth, which often comes up in my stories, is a very amazing place.
Now, if I met the Ancestor,
[I don’t know you!]
Even if she told me that, I would be able to get away with it if I told her that we were brother and sister in a previous life!
However, I had no idea at the time that this casual evasion would turn into a big problem later on.
ーーーー
"So, what's going on? The guys from the Adventurers' Guild seemed to be more aggressive than usual."
"Yeah, that's right. Recently, more than 50 adventurers who went exploring in the Amru dungeon have not returned!"
"50 people..."
"Yeah. Cedric, don't you know anything?"
"I have an idea."
"Really! What's going on!"
"Maybe they were killed by their blood sucked..."
"What! A vampire? Maybe you're the culprit!?"
Bruce-nii looked at me in a terrible way and grabbed me by the chest.
But now I'm a mouse.
It looks very surreal.
"No! It’s not me!
Probably a guy named Sir Francis Drake!"
Hearing this, Bruce's face softens.
Or rather, his nose is turned up.
While Bruce's hand was grabbing my chest, he was also touching Mary's big breast.
However, Mary remains unfazed.
Oddly, she is too manly.
And Bruce, the erotic old man who stretches out his nose in front of Mary, ends up looking like a small man.
"Hmm!? ...Wait a minute, Drake...
If that's the case, that guy came to the adventurer's guild three days ago!"
Suddenly, Bruce, who had been stretching his nose, turned serious.
"Then, there is no doubt that he is the culprit!
His true identity is a Vampire Duke!"
"Did a Vampire Duke really exist?
I mean, there are no vampires here!"
Yes, vampires are an extinct species in this world.
According to the perception of this world, vampires are sensitive to sunlight.
Therefore, it is common knowledge that vampires cannot come out of dungeons.
However, the vampires on the 35th level are a little different.
There are a lot of vampires who are resistant to sunlight, and if a vampire of the Grand Duke or Duke class directly shares their blood with them, they will inevitably become a vampire who are resistant to sunlight and are waiting for the title.
Simply put, a vampire with a title is a vampire that is resistant to sunlight.
The degree to which one can withstand sunlight varies depending on one's rank, but even the lowest baronet can withstand sunlight for about 30 minutes.
"So, how many of them came!"
"The only people who entered the Amru Adventurer's Guild were Drake and his twin daughters, but there were about 20 people outside the Adventurer's Guild!
He said he came from another country looking for Excalibur..."
I am shaken by Bruce-nii's unexpected words.
"What did you say?"
"I said, he came to look for the Excalibur?"
"No! About the twins!"
"Yeah. They were cute little twin girls.
They had pure white skin like a doll and had blonde twin drills!"
"......"
"Master! What about Mylene-san?"
Shiro says the name that I couldn't say even though I thought about it.
A reality that could have happened if Nem-Ram had escaped from Donut Island. A reality that I don't even want to know.
"Probably killed. Drake and the others are merciless to dhampirs."
Mary mercilessly said the worst reality.
"B-but, how about letting her live as a hostage?"
I cling to the slight possibility.
"No, that's not going to happen either. They are the kind of people who don't even want to breathe the same air as the dhampirs.
They would rather kill a dhampir and purify the air even a little than keep them alive as hostages.''
"No mercyーー!"
I really regret leaving Mylene behind on Donut Island.
"They are pure-blooded supremacists. They do not recognize anyone other than the Ancestor-sama and pure-blooded vampires.
For them, humans are food, but dhampirs are worse than cockroaches.
If you found a cockroach, you would kill it right away, right?"
Mary, that's too cruel.
Well, she's been fighting pure-blooded vampires for hundreds of years, so she might know everything about their personalities and methods.
"Cedric, are you okay?
Your face is pale..."
Bruce-nii is worried when he sees how upset I am.
It seems like I'm having a harder time accepting the fact that Mylene died than I imagined.
"Master is a kind person."
Shiro muttered to herself.
Mylene is the first dhampir to become my kin.
I can imagine that she was easily killed while evolving without being able to use her power.
Why couldn't I wait a day?
Then, Mylene wouldn't have died.
I think Mylene has become almost immortal after becoming my kin, but if her head gets crushed, she will die.
I'm the only one who can survive like a cockroach even if my head gets crushed.
Was it because Mary wanted to go treasure hunting as soon as possible?
No, it's not.
Even if Mylene had finished evolving, I would never take her to the Amru dungeon.
The 34th level of Amru Dungeon is actually very tough.
This is a level that even the [Falcon Claw], which is considered to be the strongest adventurer party in this world, cannot visit.
It was unthinkable for me to bring Mylene, who was not a complete immortal and was a Lvl1, to such an Amru dungeon.
I was unconsciously overprotective of Mylene, my first kin.
However, such unusual behavior of mine turned out to be fatal.
It was completely my fault for killing Mylene.
What a hero!
I want to create a harem in another world and have fun!
I can't even be called a hero because I can't even protect those close to me, and I'm way too presumptuous to start a harem!
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
Why didn't I just killed Nem-Ram!
They were twin girls that I liked, so it was impossible to kill them.
Actually, those guys are old women!
Anastasia and Mary are old hags, too!
"Master……"
Shiro, who can read my mind, directly sensed my emotions, and she had tears in her eyes and an anxious look on her face.
My servant is even worried about me......
"Hey! How long are you going to stay restless!
When a samurai is sad, he grits his teeth and presses forward without crying!"
Perhaps trying to comfort me, Mary talks about samurai even though she's not even Japanese.
"You're not even Japanese, so you don't have the qualifications to talk about samurai!"
As a conditioned reflex, I end up cursing Mary, who is worried about me.
"Japanese again? I was just trying to cheer you up by being nice to you!"
Mary's kindness touches my heart.
I cursed out of conditioned reflex, but...
However, I can't stay restless forever.
I'm Japanese. As Mary says, I have a samurai bloodline!
"Hmph! I’m a genuine former Japanese!
I'll show the barbarian vampires the true power of the samurai, who were feared as the world's strongest fighting group!"
"Cedric is a samurai? What do you mean?"
Mary's eyes widened at the unexpected words.
"The ancestors of Japanese people are samurai!"
"Japanese are samurai? Eh!?
Aren't Hinomoto people samurai?"
"Hinomoto and Japan are almost the same country. You understand now, right?"
In my opinion, Earth and the 35th level are parallel worlds.
History also covers it quite a bit.
"Then, since I also have the Hinomoto blood from Ancestor-sama, am I a descendant of samurai?"
"Maybe so!"
I'm not sure if Mary really has Japanese blood, but I firmly swore to myself that I would take revenge on the Drake family in order to avenge Mylene.
