Rush
We have obtained the holy sword Excalibur without anyone noticing, and we are on our way to Duke Pavlov's residence.
We must finish what we started before Drake visits King Harman.
If Drake meets King Harman, he will definitely use his charm skill and become a noble of Harman Kingdom.
If that happens, we won't be able to touch Drake face to face.
It would be a big deal if an adventurer killed a nobleman of his own kingdom.
Well, if we escaped to the Amru dungeon, I think we could manage.
However, the fact that we can no longer shop freely in the Amru Fortress City is a nuisance.
There are some things I can't get in the dungeon, and sometimes I want to go out for drinks.
As expected, we have to defeat Drake tonight.
"Hey! Cedric, even if we kill the vampires, what are we going to do about the Duke Pavlov family?"
Reinhard asked me a question.
"Whatever we do, it would be no good if we killed the nobles of Harman Kingdom.
They are just being controlled by Drake with his charm.''
"But what will you do if they attack us?"
"Knock them unconscious."
"You can’t go easy on them like that!"
"Then don't use the sword."
"How can I fight without using a sword?"
"You just have to fight!"
"It’s impossible! I can’t tell if they are a vampire or a member of the Duke Pavlov family just by looking at them!
If I endure it thinking they are a member of the Duke's family, what will I do when it turns out they're actually vampires?
I'll be killed by a vampire!"
Reinhard, the brain muscle, says the right thing.
Me and Anastasia have Appraisal, so we can easily find out if they are vampires by using Appraisal.
Mary would be easy to recognize since she was always fighting vampires.
Shiro is also a monster, so she can easily tell the difference between humans and monsters.
Kenji is a genius, so he will understand.
In that case, only Reinhard, an ordinary man, has no idea who is human and who is vampire.
"It can't be helped... Ori Hime. Act change to full mail armor and large shield, and put them on Reinhard!"
"Kyui!"
Ori Hime jumped and enveloped Reinhard, changing into full mail armor and a large shield.
"Thank you!"
Reinhard looks very happy.
Weapons and armor made of orichalcum, like the holy sword Excalibur, are a dream of warriors.
He is now able to equip himself with that Orihalcum armor and a large shield. There was no reason not to be happy.
Well, normally I would never lend Ori Hime to Reinhard, a man, but this time I have the holy sword Excalibur in my hands.
The appearance and the shine of the blade are the same as the Ori Hime Sword, but I feel that it is imbued with some kind of mysterious magic.
This magic is probably the key to destroying demons.
Well, the difference between it and the Ori Hime Sword is definitely whether it can destroy demons.
The sharpness was made of the same orichalcum, so there was no difference at all.
As I was thinking about this, Shiro, who was in the lead, stopped.
"Master, there is a guard in front of the gate of Duke Pavlov's house."
"Yeah. I can see it."
There were three people on guard.
When I checked with my appraisal skill, it appeared that two of them were vampires and the other one was human.
"With Reinhard acting as a shield in the lead, let’s just rush through the gate!"
"I'm the first?"
"Of course! You're a shield!"
"But I don't know who the vampire is, do I?"
"For now, hit them with your shield. The one who gets up is a vampire, and the one who passes out is a normal human!"
"I see. Cedric, you are smart."
"Idiot! I’m already smart!
I just lost my brain recently and have become an idiot!"
It's very unexpected.
Everyone mistakenly thinks I'm an idiot.
It's true that I feel like I've become an idiot because my personality from when I was a human and my personality from my skeleton days have mixed together, but I'm definitely not an idiot!
"Cedric, you're an idiot after all.
If you weren't an idiot, wouldn't you have been able to handle yourself better during your time as a human?"
"Indeed……"
He is the brain muscle Reinhard, but he says things that sound a little bit like he understands.
But, how long were you looking at me?
When I was a human, I didn't realize that Reinhard was so considerate and humane.
Since I was avoiding Kenji, I was avoiding the members of [Falcon Claw] as well.
I had no idea what kind of person Reinhard was, I didn't even try to find out, and in short, I had no interest in him.
When I made a complicated expression,
"Well, there you have it!"
Reinhard said shyly as he charged towards the gate of Duke Pavlov's house.
And,
Crash*!
The gatekeepers who were hit by Reinhardt's large shield were blown away beautifully.
As I expected, only one person passed out, and the two gatekeepers stood up.
"Alright! Just as planned! Mary, Kenji!
""Roger that!""
The Mary-Ken duo that was waiting behind Reinhard's shield jumped out and cut the vampire's neck, which was still unsteady.
"Shiro!"
"Roger that!"
Shiro quickly wraps the vampire's body with thread as they try to find their heads.
After making sure it's safe, I split the vampire's head like a watermelon with the holy sword Excalibur.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaーー!"
"Kugyaaaaaaaaーー!"
The vampires, whose heads were cut in two, disappeared in smoke while letting out a loud scream, as if to alert their comrades in the mansion.
At the same time, the inside of Duke Pavlov's mansion becomes noisy.
"They noticed..."
"Yes, that's right!"
Reinhard immediately lunges in.
"Kukukukuku, my arms are shaking!"
Mary, who is a battle fanatic, looks happy.
Immediately, she hung her tiger-print sailor uniform on a sash with the string that Shiro had made for her, and began full-scale preparations for battle.
Anastasia is also clutching a staff made of adamantite steel and mithril that she begged Shiro to make for her.
It is questionable whether the hardness of adamantite steel is necessary for a mage's staff, though......
All in all, it looks like everyone is ready.
The only thing left to do now is to kill all the vampires and find out from Drake if Mylene is alive or dead!
Of course, I have no doubt that Mylene is still alive.
"Well then! Let's rush into the mansion!"
""Yeah!""
With the momentum of defeating the gatekeepers, we rushed into Duke Pavlov's mansion, which had turned into a den of vampires.
