Zongman: Dream with me

"Thanks, Ralph, let's go."

"Yes, sir, but I still have some doubts."

The butler looked to be in his sixties, but he had an upright posture and elegant manners. Every move he made was in accordance with etiquette, as if it had been integrated into his blood.

"Are you really going to give up?"

He was a little confused. His master had gone through so much trouble to come all the way from Paris, paying such a high price, but now he had to return empty-handed. Was this...

"Ralph, how long have you been following me?"

"About 500 years."

"Yes, it's been 500 years. The former kings of the night have become a group of people who can only go out at night, and they have to hide here and there to avoid being discovered by hunters.

Now, even a group of so-called Yin-Yang masters can drive us away."

“My lord, Lord Rice has prepared an army of blood slaves. When the time comes, we will definitely make those politicians and businessmen pay the price, avenge Lord Vlad, and find that special being who is fearless of the sun.

By then, our clan will be able to truly walk under the sun!"

"Ralph, do you really believe that rumor?"

"From what I know about Lord Vlad, he doesn't seem like someone who would lie, not to mention..."

"Besides, he's already dead, isn't he? He was struck to death by lightning by a little girl who was passing by."

The butler lowered his head and said nothing. He really couldn't understand. He had clearly hypnotized the woman, but she suddenly broke free the next moment and summoned a bolt of lightning with divine power, destroying the unsuspecting Lord Vlad on the spot.

His subordinates wanted to avenge him, but they were all seriously injured and only left a wound on the other party.

“But we have memorized her smell, through that drop of blood!

We will make them pay the price!"

"What should we do? Attack the people around him? It seems that this is all we have left."

The Viscount mocked that when that reckless guy came to him, he was not very interested in it. It was just a vague legend and a meaningless expedition. He was just annoyed by those vampire hunters for too long and wanted to find another place to become an accomplice to the evil.

But who knew that it would end up in such a ridiculous way? That person named Yukinoshita Haruno is definitely not a simple person. Now these people are rushing forward foolishly before investigating thoroughly. Have they lived too long and developed Alzheimer's disease?

The purpose of this journey has lost its meaning with Vlad's death, and all that remains is an angry carnival among all forces.

But I'm sorry, Les, Bathory, I can't stay with you anymore.

Obviously, the Viscount's actions were rational and correct, but even he did not expect that the fire would burn so big that even he, who was far away in France, could not avoid it.

This vampire family also paid a huge price for this.

"Mashiro, this is your contract. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

In a Tokyo cafe, Mashiro's manga editor, Ayano Iida, looks curiously at the three girls across from her.

That little girl with white hair must be one of Mashiro's current guardians. Her name seems to be Kasugano Sora. As for the other girl who seems a bit cold, she should be a friend.

Mashiro took the contract with both hands, turned around and handed it to Kasugano Yuu next to her. Yuu just flipped through it casually and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino next to her.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Yukino turned her head away helplessly and started looking at the contract with Qiong, leaving Shiina Mashiro clumsily holding a fork and eating the cake bite by bite.

"Mashiro, how is your new life at Sobu High School?"

Iida Ayano held her chin and looked at Mashiro with a doting look on her face.

"very good."

"Can you talk to me?"

"You is very good to me, Qiong is very good to me, everyone is very good to me..."

Compared to her skill of using the most brilliant colors to impress others, Mashiro's words seemed much more clumsy, but she still tried her best to tell Ayano that she was living a good life and she didn't need to worry.

"I heard that Mr. Bai Ke, also known as Mr. Kasugano Yuu, asked you to study music with him. Is that true?"

"Yeah, Yuu is amazing!"

"Will the time be..."

Mashiro shook her head and said that she was learning it in her free time. Ayano thought that Muyou just wanted to cultivate an interest and hobby for Mashiro.

She dedicated the first half of her life to painting. While she achieved world-renowned achievements, her life also lacked some color.

So, she just wanted to play around as a hobby and experience other fields, and Ayano also supported her. She might not know until much later that Mashiro was not only a talented painter, but also an excellent drummer.

The two of them didn't chat for a long time before Qiong finished reading the contract and Mashiro signed it readily.

"Do you have any other plans?" After the work was done, Iida Ayano was very happy, so she stood up and asked.

"We want to take Mashiro around to get some materials."

“Do you need a guide?”

Yukinoshita and Kyon both shook their heads in gratitude.

"Well, have fun, and you, Mashiro, congratulations on becoming a real manga. You'll be able to see your comics in a few days."

Looking at Ayano's back as she left, Yukinoshita and Kyon looked at Mashiro. They had asked for two days of vacation, but they didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"So where are we going next?" Yukinoshita asked.

"Let's just take a walk." Qiong didn't have any ideas.

"Aquarium." Mashiro made a suggestion.

"can."

After deciding on their target, the three of them headed towards the aquarium.

They stopped and walked along the way. Sometimes Mashiro stood in front of the window and stopped to look at the baumkuchen inside, and sometimes Yukinoshita couldn't resist the temptation and walked into a cat cafe. Finally, Qiong took the two of them to a clothing store.

Finally, the few people arrived at the door of the aquarium.

"Mashiro, are you planning to come here to collect materials?"

"Well, I heard that many couples come here to date."

Yukinoshita was stunned. So that's what she thought. Yes, You was already her boyfriend, but why did she seem to have no sense of reality?

"Will You like it here?"

Mashiro turned to look at Qiong.

He would probably be inclined to go into the sea and catch it himself, right?

"do not know."

"Qiong has never dated Yuu?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Although he was a stay-at-home kid before, he was always dragged out by You.

"Where are you going then?"

"Um, mountain climbing?"

It means taking a leap from the top of a mountain and spreading your wings like the wind.

"seaside?"

It refers to creating waves at the seaside and then going on a diving adventure.

Occasionally, Mu You would take her out for night patrol to meet a group of strange guys.

"I see, would Yuu like the aquarium?"

"How should I know!" Qiong said unhappily.

Seeing that she didn't get an answer from Qiong, Mashiro turned her gaze to Yukinoshita.

"…I'm sorry, I don't know much about Kasugano-san. I…I don't know either."

Yukinoshita paused and answered with difficulty because she realized that she actually didn't understand Mu You at all.

"How come you don't know anything?" Mashiro said dejectedly.

"..."

For some reason, Mashiro's frustrated words were like an arrow piercing through the hearts of both Kyon and Yukinoshita.

At this moment, Qiong suddenly noticed something was wrong, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block Mashiro and Yukinoshita.

The lights in the aquarium were not bright, and most of the light came into the room through the glass of the tank. But in such a room, two strange guys appeared.

One of them had a strange bandage wrapped around his head, covering one eye, and was holding an umbrella for another person. Under the umbrella was a woman with long light blue hair, dressed in the clothes of a singing girl, and holding a harp in her hand.

They came in front of Qiong and the others, and the woman asked apologetically, "Excuse me, are you Kasugano Yuu-sama's younger sister, Kasugano Qiong?"

"who are you!"

Qiong looked at the two strange monsters in front of her. She had never seen them before, and judging from the expressions of Mashiro and Yukinoshita, they should be able to see them too.

And they know You, so could it be that You is related to You?

"My name is Asagi, and this is Snake Eyes. It's really great to meet Master Yuu's sister here."

Someone Yuu knew? Kasugano Sora looked at the two demons in front of him in confusion.
