Her demeanor was far from the demure and pure image of a saint. It didn’t feel out of place, however, because that was Myullias’s actual personality.

Nive looked to Myullias and said, “You don’t have to go out of your way to accompany me. Besides, it’s clear you’re here to keep an eye on me. Why should I, a law-abiding adventurer, accept that a saint of the Church of Lobelia is putting me under surveillance?”

“I don’t really know, but... Anyway, it’s an order. So, please, give up already. You wouldn’t want the Church of Lobelia to treat you like an apostate.”

“Oh, dear. Do as you wish, then. Would you like to come as well, Rentt? Hunting vampires can be quite stimulating and entertaining.”

I was sure it could be, but it also sounded frightening and dangerous. Wandering the world and hunting beings like Shumini was pretty much suicide. I figured that eventually I’d need to be able to kill a monster like that on my own, but that was still a long way off. It might be safer with Nive as a companion, but it was one thing to worry about running into monsters; it was a different thing entirely to worry about her killing me in my sleep. So, nope.

I shook my head. “I’ll pass this time. But it’s not like I’ll always be in Maalt. I’m sure we’ll meet again someday.”

Though, I hoped it wouldn’t be soon. I swallowed those last words, but it seemed Nive heard them anyway.

“Fate will bring us together again. I’ll be looking forward to that day. Oh?”

Nive turned to a group of carriages making their way to the carriage stop. There were about ten of them in a row, all decorated the same way. They were obviously expensive and well made, and the horses pulling them were powerful draft animals.

“Seems they’ve finally arrived. Those carriages are from the Academy,” Lorraine murmured.

Nive nodded. “Yes, so it appears. The Tower will be here eventually, but they presumably have more equipment to carry, so it’ll take them a few more days.”

The Tower was more focused on research, while the Academy was, at its core, an educational institution. Certainly, the Tower would be bringing a lot more specialized survey equipment. Precision magic items were usually large and fragile, and even if dismantled, it would take time to transport them. While the two groups had probably left the capital at around the same time, the Academy had arrived in Maalt first.

“Still, there are a lot of them,” Nive murmured ominously as she watched the caravan. “Considerably so. There might be some trouble on the horizon. It’d be fun to stay, but...there are no more vampires here.”

After she said that, I couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious about Maalt’s future.

“Since we’re fated to meet again, I suppose you’ll tell me all about the coming festivities, Rentt. It’s about time for me to leave, so I’ll say goodbye here.”

I really would’ve preferred not to be fated to see her again, but Nive’s intuition was fairly accurate.
