Chapter 35 : Increase the number of followers III

After raiding the human village, I was looking around to see if there was anything worth taking.

“OF!”

A cute battle cry that naturally caught my attention.

Turning my head slightly, I saw Aurel crouching and extending her hand towards a small sparrow.

“OF!”

I watched curiously for a while.

Aurel sighed with a disappointed expression.

“Aurel.”

“Oh, Charlotte.”

“What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to make my own servant.”

“Your servant? This sparrow?”

“Yes.”

Aurel nodded cheerfully in response to my question.

A tiny sparrow would indeed suit Aurel as a servant, but what could she do with just a sparrow?

“So, did you make it?”

“No…”

Aurel shook her head, looking dejected.

But she didn’t seem ready to give up.

“OF!”

-Tweet tweet…

Aurel extended her hand towards the sparrow again.

By the way, where did Hwanggu go?

I looked for Hwanggu among the busy servants.

“Hey, Aurel.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know where Hwanggu went?”

“I saw her dragging a human corpse to a corner earlier.”

“Oh…”

She must have wanted to eat some meat.

Nodding, I headed towards the source of the human blood scent.

I arrived behind a container.

She had chosen a spot away from prying eyes.

Crunch

Chomp-

As I got closer, I heard chilling sounds.

Not wanting to interrupt Hwanggu’s meal, I leaned against the container wall and waited for her.

How much time had passed?

The sound of bones breaking echoed for a while.

From behind the container, a small girl’s head peeked out.

“Charlotte?”

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes!”

Hwanggu answered with a bright smile, her mouth stained with red blood.

“We’ll be leaving soon. Finish up.”

“Got it!”

Having found Hwanggu and gathered what I needed, I called my servants together.

“Everyone, gather!”

The girls, slightly shorter than me, ran towards me. They all looked like younger sisters.

I observed their expressions. Most of them still seemed confused, as the transformation had just ended.

With time, they would come to accept their changes.

“Stay put until I call you again.”

The girls nodded with anxious eyes.

I pushed them into the shadows.

Watching over 30 girls melt into the shadows was truly a sight to behold.

“Aurel, Hwanggu!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Aurel and Hwanggu ran towards me.

Hwanggu had cleaned the blood around her mouth.

-Tweet tweet…

I looked at the sparrow Aurel was holding tightly.

It was still chirping weakly, indicating it hadn’t been fully transformed yet.

Aurel seemed determined to make the sparrow her servant.

“Let’s go down.”

“Where are we going this time?”

“We’re going to meet another vampire clan.”

“Are you really going to capture Fenrir?”

I nodded at Aurel’s question.

Watching the battle between the 10 human users and Fenrir, I had made up my mind.

I believed I could capture Fenrir.

Of course, it wouldn’t be possible alone.

“Let’s go then.”

I took Aurel and Hwanggu down the mountain.

Following the same path we came up, there were no unnecessary traps to worry about.

We arrived at the bush where I had hidden the motorcycle.

“Sniff sniff…”

Hwanggu began sniffing the moment we arrived.

I approached the bushes, leaving Hwanggu behind.

Rustle, rustle-

“Huh…”

As I searched through the bushes, I tilted my head in confusion.

I was sure I had parked the motorcycle here…

My memory wasn’t wrong. The tire tracks led to this spot.

But the motorcycle was nowhere to be seen.

What could have happened?

“Sniff sniff… Charlotte…!”

At that moment,

Hwanggu, who had been sniffing the ground, called out to me.

Wondering why, I turned my head to see Hwanggu pointing to the ground.

“Human! I smell a human!”

“A human?”

“Yes! A human stole the motorcycle!”

I checked the tire tracks Hwanggu was pointing at.

Indeed, the tracks extended beyond the bushes.

“A human…?”

“Grr…!”

A human… really stole my motorcycle?

I stared blankly at the direction the tracks led.

A straight line without hesitation.

The tire tracks extended in the opposite direction from where we had come.

“Damn it…!”

Clenching my teeth, I began to run along the tire tracks.

Aurel and Hwanggu followed behind me.

Tap, tap, tap-

We ran hard and arrived at an asphalt road.

No good. If the motorcycle had been driven on this road, there would be no more tracks to follow.

I sighed and sat down on the ground.

“Sigh…”

“Charlotte…”

Aurel looked down at me with a sympathetic expression as I sat on the road.

She placed her hand on my shoulder, as if to comfort me.

“Sniff sniff…!”

Hwanggu was still focused on sniffing.

Lying flat on the ground, Hwanggu’s tail wagged vigorously like a puppy.

At that moment, Hwanggu’s tail shot up like an exclamation point.

“Over here!”

Leaving those words behind, Hwanggu started running.

I followed her, hoping for a miracle.

Tap, tap, tap, tap!

“Charlotte…!”

Aurel’s teary voice called out from behind.

Turning my head, I saw Aurel falling behind.

I had no choice.

I reached out and pulled Aurel onto my back.

“Gasp…!”

Aurel hesitated for a moment, then wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

With her securely holding on, I increased my speed and closely followed Hwanggu.

After running for a while, we arrived in front of a warehouse.

Although it was half-collapsed, there were signs that people had been living around it.

“This is the place…”

“It’s here!”

Hwanggu spoke confidently.

Standing up straight, Hwanggu puffed out her small chest and continued.

“Charlotte, your motorcycle seems to have gone into that warehouse!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Hwanggu nodded at my question.

I patted Hwanggu’s head.

Stroke, stroke-

“Hehe…”

While patting Hwanggu’s head, I looked at the large warehouse.

If it weren’t for Hwanggu, I would have spent a gloomy day without knowing the identity of the motorcycle thief.

Daring to steal my belongings, they would pay dearly.

“Huff… Huff…”

I frowned at the faint groans I heard near my ear.

Even though we had arrived at our destination, Aurel showed no intention of getting off my back.

She kept rubbing against me, making me feel strange.

“Aurel.”

“Yes…”

“LH24.”

“Ah…”

At my words, Aurel immediately released her arms and legs.

She rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks and avoided my gaze with a cough.

“Hwanggu.”

“Yes!”

“How many humans are inside that warehouse?”

“Sniff sniff….!”

Hwanggu immediately started sniffing to check.

After a while, Hwanggu’s tail shot up.

“Ten people!”

“Ten?”

“Yes!”

How odd that there would be only ten humans in such a large place.

Something seemed off.

I tilted my head in curiosity.

“And I smell vampires too!”

“Vampires? How many?”

“Forty!”

Forty vampires?

I sniffed the air around us, but all I could catch was the faint scent of earth carried by the wind.

“Do you smell anything else?”

“No!”

“Hmm…”

If it were just humans inside, I would have barged in without hesitation and turned everyone into my servants.

But forty vampires?

Of course, being of the same kind, a conversation would be possible.

Unlike humans who attack on sight, vampires should be more reasonable.

I turned to Aurel and Hwanggu.

“Aurel, Hwanggu.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Wait here for a bit. I’ll check out the situation and be right back.”

“You’re going alone?”

I nodded in response to Aurel’s question.

Given the circumstances, our first meeting might not go well.

If they deny stealing my motorcycle, a fight could break out.

Aurel and Hwanggu seemed eager to accompany me, but they obeyed my request to stay put.

Approaching the warehouse alone, the closer I got, the more I could smell human blood and the faint scent of my kin.

They must have spotted me approaching from inside the warehouse.

I stood at the entrance for a while.

The door opened, and a woman stepped out.

“Where did you come from?”

The thin red dress clung to her curves, rippling like blood.

In a world like this, only a vampire could wear such clothes.

“I’m here to find my motorcycle.”

“Motorcycle…?”

The woman frowned at my words and looked me up and down.

“With that height…?”

I didn’t respond and kept my mouth shut.

The female vampire sighed.

“Are you sure you didn’t come to the wrong place?”

As expected, she was playing dumb.

I frowned and activated my Mystic Eye.

My left eye began to burn with a unique light, turning half the world blue.

[Rosetta]

Mana: 100%

Emotional State: Slightly excited, confused

As I stared at her, Rosetta’s heartbeat began to quicken.

The movement of blood under her skin also sped up.

“It would be best to hand it over while I’m being nice.”

I spoke with my arms crossed.

Seeing my confident demeanor, Rosetta sighed.

“So, you are…”

“Charlotte.”

“Right, Charlotte. Sorry, but your motorcycle isn’t here.”

“No. It is.”

“I’m telling you, it’s not.”

“It is.”

I frowned.

Hwanggu wouldn’t lie to me.

If I checked inside, I would surely find my motorcycle.

“Sigh… Then come and see for yourself.”

In the end, Rosetta invited me into the warehouse.

But I didn’t go in.

Who knows what might happen if I blindly followed her inside?

Seeing me standing firm, Rosetta spoke again.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you coming?”

“What if I get attacked once I’m inside?”

“What…?”

Rosetta asked back as if she had misheard me.

She twisted her expression and replied.

“What kind of vampire attacks their own kind?”
