Chapter 39: Three Plans (3)

Arthur remained silent as that two men talked about their plans. He also replied lazily to Roby who wanted to leave because he still had to disguise himself as a royal knight. It was so annoying, he missed being Kang Seongje who immediately rose to become an S rank hunter.

Dean and Count Rubel were still talking about Cindy's transfer and also the licensing of the K-Night Guild. Occasionally their conversation was interrupted by Arthur who was mumbling incoherently. For example, like right now.

"Actually, the process is a bit complicated because K-Night Guild was originally an assassin guild. Then there was no kingdom who affiliate—"

"K-Night Guild is under the rule of the Tryton Kingdom because Dean Volton as the founder is registered as a human and resident there." Arthur casually interrupted the conversation.

Count Rubel heard it well. "Huh? Wait, 'Volton'? 'That' Volton?"

Dean closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again. His cold gaze went to Arthur who was still resting his head against the table. "Arthur Rudolf-ssi, it looks like our cooperation ends here."

Clinch!

"Why? Is something wrong?"

Count Rubel was more surprised than Arthur. He immediately walked to the center between the two. Arthur just raised his head to look at Dean. Dean looked like a judge deciding while Arthur looked like a resigned defendant.

With a puzzled expression, Count Rubel looked at Dean to say, "You don't like your family name being mentioned? Does that affect your deal with Arthur? It doesn't, does it? What's wrong with your family name anyway, are you insecure? Your family are great people and you yourself are already a prominent person on this continent. What are you afraid of?"

Dean turned his face away from Arthur. It was true what Count Rubel said. But still, Dean had been estranged from his family for a long time and registered as a commoner in human territory.

Arthur looked at Count Rubel who calmed Dean's anger. That man did have a tongue that could heal the damaged mental state of his companion. It was a good thing that Arthur managed to drag him as his partner.

For a few minutes they were silent, Dean opened his voice. "So, because of this great me, I get to meet asshole partners and customers like you, is that it?"

Hearing that response, Arthur immediately put his head back on the table and mumbled incoherently. Count Rubel again approached Dean with a feeling of pleasure.

Count Rubel rubbed his red mane, thinking he had calmed the raging lion. However, he whispered, "What about the queen's faction? Do you want to tell this freak man about it?"

Dean replied, "No. If he knows he can't win the throne, he'll give up."

Brugh!

"Okay! Don't give up so easily! I have to find another way to get stronger!"

Arthur abruptly stood up from his chair. The chair fell over during Arthur's movement. In that man's heart, he had to keep moving to reach the goal.

'First, I have to get Yoon Dalmi to make me a party member so that I can get an invitation using the system.'

"Dean, you know where Helena Desmo's lab is, right?"

'This is still faster than usual. I should have just been dragged here sooner.'

Adhitte looked down at her hands which were covered in monster blood. At his feet, there were many strange monsters with stingray-like shapes.

She was on the edge of a cliff that led directly to the sea. Helena took her hunting in a place quite far away. It was the border sea between Tryton Kingdom and Free City in the northern part of Gigana Continent.

After the day before yesterday they conquered land monsters, Helena took Adhitte to conquer sea monsters. At first, Adhitte thought there were no sea monsters because she heard stories of ordinary human life from Helena. However, after Helena led her to the ocean with steep cliffs, there were many sea creatures that had never existed on earth.

Helena wore a black cloak this time. She looked weaker than usual. This time, it was Adhitte who hunted more than Helena.

[Number of items that can be saved: 39/100]

While putting the last monster into the inventory, Adhitte asked quietly pulling Helena's arm. Making that woman flinch.

"Ouch!"

[Pay attention to your members' weaknesses!]

'Are the vampires here weak with sunlight too?'

It was cloudy, but there was still sunlight coming in. Helena still kept her body well wrapped. That made Adhitte curious.

"Stats window party member."

[Number of party members: 1/unlimited.]

[Do you want to check the stats of your only party member?]

Adhitte pressed "Yes" there. Then the screen showed something else.

Adhitte regretted opening Helena's stats window. That vampire was indeed dying. It seemed like all her experiments were done in order to recover from the curse and poison.

She looked at Helena. "Do you want to be cured?"

Helena stopped what she was doing for a moment, before continuing. "What am I sick of? It's not a disease, dear. That's not my goal."

'Getting stronger, no. Healing, no. What is the purpose of this vampire?'

Adhitte tried another method. "Map the area."

[Your neighborhood is not covered by the main quest area!]

[Return to the main quest area to use the feature you're looking for!]

Adhitte looked at Helena with a complicated look. She thought the vampire was already very resigned to her situation and was just living according to her will. It was similar to her life on several earths back when she was just a dimensional mover.

While still on earth with less than ten, he as Yoon Dalmi found herself in another world. Initially she planned to save them all from their miserable fate. But everything is the same.

Summoned to be a ranker and killed by guildmates in the tower. Becoming a low-ranked hunter and being sacrificed by the dungeon raid team. Even ordinary people where the game system appeared and died on the spot when the quest appeared due to the encouragement of others.

At that time, she saw as the third point of view. Her twin on those few earths always had the misfortune of not being able to be helped. Therefore, after acquiring the game name "Adhitte", she no longer saved that world. She just wanted everything destroyed in her hands, including the pitiful Yoon Dalmi in other worlds. The funny thing is, in all these worlds even Yoon Dalmi was betrayed by her lover named Kim Taehoon.

Adhitte looked at Helena who looked just like those pitiful Yoon Dalmi. Perhaps if she hadn't met Helena and instead befriended a human, Helena could have been killed by her. Fortunately, since Kim Taehoon's betrayal in various worlds, she has become hateful towards humans. That's why she stayed with Helena and made her the first party member.

"What have you been watching me for, dear?" Helena asked when she saw Adhitte who was looking at her intensely.

That woman in question simply shook her head and closed her inventory. "Are all these monsters going to be experimented on and the rest sold?"

Helena cleaned her hands of monster blood with a handkerchief. "Yes, you're very smart. The day after tomorrow we'll try the mountainside area to look for flying monsters and ground monsters."

She invited Adhitte to go back home. However, she did not move once and only issued a question.

"What exactly are you doing this for?"

Helena stopped her footsteps. She turned around to find Adhitte who seemed to be silent after asking that sensitive question.

"To achieve my goal."

Adhitte frowned. "I mean, what is your goal?"

Helena opened her cloak. In the not-so-bright sunlight, her pale face was visible. She smiled an innocent smile rather than a seductive one.

"What else? To be human, of course."

「There was an error in the system!」
