Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract-Chapter 88 88 – Separate Action

While it was already evening in Romania, the sun had just reached above the head back in the US.

Two people, one looked young, and one looked old but still energetic, were standing on a roof of a certain building, looking down at a destroyed stone on the side of the road.

"Only one left." The young-looking woman with long purple hair and rather open clothes muttered with a frown. "I can't feel the Spirit Power from the cornerstone. It's been destroyed, no, Marcus?" She turned to the old man beside her.

"It's smashed to pieces, yeah." Marcus nodded, even though he knew the woman couldn't see it. "It's faster than I thought. It seems that those bastards have planned this for a long time. Probably ten years ago. You still remember what happened at that time, no?"

"Of course. That time, shit happened." The woman, Dragon, nodded firmly. A vengeful look on her face.

"I was in Romania with my son to fight the Boogeymen, and you were also there. But who would've thought some rats would show up in New York? Because of that, you returned first and took care of it, but… What actually happened? You kept silent until this time and refused to tell me anything."

"Hah!" Marcus scoffed, looking straight at Dragon's empty gray eyes. "As you said, shit happened. You know it yourself. Many people were massacred before I arrived. And I took care of them alone."

"Liar."

Dragon shot down Marcus almost immediately, but the old man didn't seem to care. Because what she said was true.

"You only told me what was written in the report. There is no way that happened simultaneously with the incident in Japan that cost you your daughter."

In the mention of his daughter, Marcus' Spirit Power leaked from his body uncontrollably as a cold voice rang.

"That's enough, bitch. That incident isn't related to this at all."

"Right. My bad."

Even if she didn't appear to care about other people, Dragon still knew the line that shouldn't be crossed, even if she was still curious about it. That was also why she chose to cut contact with Marcus and only contacted him again after her grandson registered with the Slayer Organization.

"But you can't hide the fact forever. You know that, Marcus."

"I fucking know it better than anyone." The old man spat venomous words as he clicked his tongue. "Troublesome woman."

"Hahaha, that's the highest praise I've ever heard from your mouth." Dragon laughed loudly as she crossed her arms under her breasts, bouncing them. For an old woman, she still had a good figure.

"Well, let's keep that unfinished talk for another time. Should we move to the last cornerstone? We must protect the last one before your new barrier is ready."

Marcus nodded at her without replying. And then both of them disappeared from the roof, leaving a trace of shadow and a crackle of purple lightning behind.

A few hours after the conversation between two old people that looked really different, morning had arrived in Romania.

Kai was stirred awake after a good night's sleep to fix his jetlag. His body was now ready for more activities. Just one thing... When he opened his eyes, he didn't expect to be sandwiched by Amber and Ibaraki. Not that surprising, though.

'I know that this will happen.'

Both Mythical girls were sleeping soundly while breathing softly. They lowered their guards whenever they were around him, and this was bound to happen without any bed beside this one to sleep at.

"At least I am not attacked when I am sleeping. I'd rather be the one who attacked."

He first got out of bed and went to the bathroom to fix his bed hair and wash his face, grabbing fresh clothes from his bag. Last night, he didn't change his clothes before going to sleep, so his clothes stunk from his sweat from being sandwiched by two people.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Kai smiled slightly. He looked right and left and noticed something rather unusual.

"My eyes have a slight golden glow." He muttered to himself.

This was something he noticed a bit after doing it with Ibaraki and increasing his Spirit Power reserve even further, rivaling the Oni girl and Phoenix girl. His eyes changed, also…

"My beard stopped growing…" He let out a sigh. For some reason, his beard and mustache didn't grow at all, and he didn't need to shave anymore. "What a disappointment… I want to look like a badass man with a beard. At least I still have a similar hairstyle."

His motivation and someone he looked up to. He was always optimistic, humble, and kind even though he was rich. He strived to be like that, so he spared Robert and gave him a second chance.

The man had proven useful by sending him more information. When he looked up at his phone, which he had taken out from his pocket after he had washed his face, he found two unread messages from Robert, which contained something he wished to hear right now.

"I thought I would regret sparing him, but he turned out to be really useful. As expected from a doctor, I think?"

After finishing washing and slicking his hair, Kai wore a new set of black shirts and pants. Today was the time for him to find the trace of the Boogeymen.

Also, he would move separately from Amber and Ibaraki for the sake of efficiency. As everything was ready, he exited the bathroom and noticed that the two girls had woken up and were currently sitting on the bed side by side.

They still looked half-asleep, especially Ibaraki Douji, as Oni also needed sleep like humans, unlike Amber.

"Good morning."

Kai greeted them with a smile, and they smiled back.

"Morning, Kai."

"Good morning, Master."

He nodded at them, approached them, and sat on the chair beside the bed.

"Alright then. Wash your faces, girls. We will move after the one approaching this hotel has arrived."

Ibaraki nodded sluggishly and stood up while Amber touched her chin.

"Liliana is walking here?" The Phoenix girl asked, looking at Ibaraki.

"Yes, Amber." The Oni girl nodded at her question. "She's already close."

"Hmm, is that so?" Amber hummed and stood up.

If the Vampire lord's daughter, Liliana, was about to come despite it being morning, then they should prepare themselves.

Then she looked at Kai worriedly and said, "You were going to go with Liliana, Kai? Please be careful."

"Got it." Kai nodded, standing up as he felt the daughter of the Vampire lord had arrived in front of their hotel. "I am gonna go first, then. Please do tell me through telepathy if something is wrong." f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"Don't worry about it, fufufufu." Amber giggled playfully. "Instead, have fun with the Vampire lord's daughter~"

"I-I will contact you immediately, Master." Ibaraki chirped in from the side. "So, please contact us if you are in danger."

"I will do that, Ibaraki." He replied, ignoring Amber teasing. He had become quite immune to her teasing lately, maybe because she had done it so many times. "See you then." He said, walking toward the exit after giving each of them a light kiss on the lips.

Amber and Ibaraki looked surprised, but they smiled happily afterward and waved their hands to see him off.

When Kai arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he quickly noticed the red-haired girl wearing a sleeveless white shirt underneath a dark red jacket leaning against a wall. Added to her long white pants and her beautiful look, the daughter of the Vampire lord, Liliana, stood out among the crowd.

She was looking at Kai as soon as he showed up, glaring with a deathly stare, clearly displeased by her new assignment.

'I guess the Vampire lord can't control his daughter's emotions.' Kai kept a note in his mind as he approached her in a friendly manner.

While it was funny that Grigori's daughter was rebellious, it wasn't unheard of. Modern technology and society created rebellious daughters and sons everywhere in the US. However, who would've thought it also influenced the Supernatural World?

'I need to be careful.'

"Did you wait for long?"

Kai stopped in front of Liliana and asked her with a friendly smile.

"You know full well I've just arrived."

However, Liliana's reply was dry and nasty. As much as Kai wanted to throw this girl off this hotel right here and now, it was still the Vampire lord's condition to let his daughter follow him to get the manpower he needed to find Boogeymen.

So he couldn't help but stay silent about it.

"At least I needed to ask, no?" He replied back, totally not affected by Liliana's dry reply.

He had no intention of getting along with her at all. When he met her in the nightclub last night, this girl had already waved a big red flag, screaming that she was troublesome.

Maybe it was already implanted in his instinct that every child of someone in charge of a country or city would be troublesome. Or was it just his bias because he met Ranga, the troublesome red Oni?

'I will find out when we actually move together later.'

"Let's go then. Make sure to follow me." He said, walking toward the exit.

"Tsk!"

Kai swore he heard Liliana clicking her tongue at him, something he purposely ignored.

'Maybe this will turn troublesome faster than I expected.' He thought.
