Chapter 3: The Vampire and the Silver-Haired Man

I ran in the direction Wolf had pointed to until I encountered a group of adventurers searching for something. Wondering if they were looking for thralls, I eavesdropped on them.

“Where’d the vampire run off to?! He was fighting some tough guy with silver hair, but they both up and vanished!”

“How should I know? Maybe they teleported or something. Greater vampires can use some crazy magic, from what I hear.”

It sounded like the vampire had come past here, but apparently these adventurers had lost sight of him. The idea that they could have used a spell like teleportation in this chaos was absurd, though. They were just yelling at each other in frustration because they couldn’t find the vampire. At any rate, I approached them to ask if they found any clues.

“Hey!” I said.

“Oh, you’re that weirdo who came to Maalt’s guild recently. I hear you’ve got skills.”

I had my mask fully covering my face, so the adventurer saw me as Rentt Vivie. I didn’t know people were saying that about me. Well, the weirdo part I guess I understood, considering my appearance. But I put that aside for now.

“I heard you talking about the vampire being around here,” I said. “Do you have any idea where he went?”

“Yeah,” the middle-aged adventurer said and gravely nodded. “The vampire was actually on the roof of that building. He was fighting some tough silver-haired guy, but they both went off somewhere. I wonder where.”

It was the same thing that another adventurer had told us earlier. I didn’t know who this silver-haired man could be, though. Nive’s hair was gray, and while Myullias’s hair was silver, she was also a woman. And Nive was also a woman, for that matter. But that wasn’t as important as the whereabouts of the vampire.

I thought about places he could have gone to until I heard a loud boom from somewhere. As I looked around to see where it came from, Edel jumped off my shoulder and ran off.

“Do you know the place?” I asked him.

“Sqreak!” he answered, so after looking at Lorraine to see what she thought, we decided to go after him.

The middle-aged adventurer gave us a curious look, so I thought about telling him that we knew where the vampire went. Considering my secret, though, it would be better if fewer people were around. And while most of these adventurers were veterans, they were also Bronze-class. Thralls were one thing, but a greater vampire would be too much for them. My skill level wasn’t that much different from them, but I was also physically difficult to kill. Lorraine was a Silver-class adventurer too, and I could serve as a human shield if necessary, so there was no problem there. I was still uneasy about our chances, but we had to try. With that settled, we ran off.

◆◇◆◇◆

Edel led us somewhere underground. It was probably an old sewer.

“I never realized this place existed,” Lorraine said as she ran.

Neither had I.
