Vampire's Slice Of Life

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Keith, Fanny, Fei, Sylvia, and Jacqueline were sitting together in a courtyard. Joining them were some more guests, one of them being a green-haired girl with clear round glasses and a lab coat—Lizbeth.

She sat beside Fei, and on top of the Yellow Phantom's lap was a ginger cat, hugging her narrow, flat abdomen and snuggling.

Lizbeth was in Fei's care during Lith's absence. And his other two disciples, Hyunsuk and Zhao Shi were under Ruben and Noman's care respectively. He did not forget them.

Jacqueline had never been around such a lively atmosphere before. There was a devil, a human, a witch, and a lady of some unknown species, on whose lap was a Druid cat. It was so chaotic yet so peaceful.

After Jacqueline opened up, she didn't have trouble talking to the ladies around the table. She indulged herself in some idle chatter and busied herself.

Fei was sipping on some tea and combing the cat's body on her lap while going through some scrolls. Since she had no work, she took on some work from the maids of the castle, who were happy to share the workload.

As she was going through the scrolls, Fei suddenly felt something heavily ominous.

She turned her head in a particular direction and frowned. Her action didn't go unnoticed by the other ladies.

"Is something wrong, Fei?" Fanny asked. She was the one who talked the most in the group, until Jacqueline joined.

Fei didn't answer and kept looking in that particular direction.

Her bright golden eyes shone with a bright glint and on her smooth, slender neck, golden ancient letters were slowly appearing.

"Fei!" Fanny and Lizbeth panicked when they saw this, and even Meryl was the same.

She jumped out of her lap and transformed into her human self, then held Fei's shoulders and asked, "Master, are you alright!?"

Fei didn't answer and kept looking in that particular direction. The ancient letters reached the left side of her face and covered her cheek.

"Stay away from her, you guys." Keith stood up and extended her hand out, pushing all the ladies away from Fei.

"What?" Meryl was offended.

Keith appeared between her and Fei, and said with a calm expression, "She's divining. Do not disturb her."

Meryl frowned and looked at her Master, but this time didn't jump at her and quietly watched from afar.

In a minute, the golden letters disappeared and Fei's eyes slowly dimmed.

Once the letters vanished, she got up and said hurriedly, "Master's going to be in trouble!"

"What!?" All the ladies, except Jacqueline, stood up and exclaimed.

"Sylvia, hurry, get Zen to open a portal. We need to reach Master before it's too late!" Fei looked at the platinum-haired witch and said.

Sylvia didn't waste time and whistled.

Her wide brimmed hat was slightly raised and from it, a puppy with red tattoos on his head jumped out.

"Zen." Sylvia looked at her puppy.

"Woof." The boy sat obediently and woofed like a mature, trained dog, ready for whatever command his master had for him.

Sylvia took out a vial of blood from her pocket and said, "Fetch."

"Woof." Zen obediently woofed again and opened his mouth, into which Sylvia poured the blood.

Soon, red electric arcs spread through Zen's veins and he began growing in size, until he turned into a meter tall labrador retriever.

"Awwooooooooo!" Zen howled at the sky and dark clouds began gathering in place.

Rumble—!

Thunder rumbled and a dark vortex slowly manifested itself.

Jacqueline couldn't believe what she was watching. A dog was able to open that!?! She thought.

"Let's go." Sylvia said and wrapped her arm around Zen's big body, ready to take him along with her.

All the ladies, including Jacqueline and Meryl, shot towards the sky. Halfway towards the gate, they heard a deep voice.

"Wait."

Fei didn't stop. In her mind there was only one thing going on—save Master!

The rest that did wait, saw a blue-haired angel with white wings, holding two kids at his sides like buckets of water.

This was Noman and he brought the Jinx-Charm disciple duo with him.

"Take them along. Her Majesty's orders." Noman said in an unhurried, calm tone, as if everything was alright and there was no need to panic.

He threw Hyunsuk and Zhao Shi towards the ladies, gave them a respectful bow, and left the place.

With his immense good luck, Hyunsuk was caught by Sylvia whereas Zhao Shi…

"Waaaaaaaa!"

Fanny couldn't catch him and he was free falling down, straight towards the Bewitching Lake.

Keith shook her head in disappointment at her daughter's performance and snapped her fingers.

"Waaaaaa—"

Poof!

"—huh?"

Shi was surprised to have landed onto something in the air.

When he opened his eyes, a pair of bright crimson eyes were gazing at him.

"Mommy!"

His spine tingled, body curled up, and he began shivering intensely. He seemed to have stared right at death and was totally scared.

It was a normal reaction from a human when they saw a devil. Keith had suppressed herself otherwise Shi would've lost his mind and turned into an idiot due to staring into her eyes directly.

Shi felt that he was in a predicament right now and began praying to a higher entity, not knowing that it was a higher entity herself that had sent him here.

Keith held the curled up boy on her arms and flapped her dark devil wings to move towards the gate.

Sylvia was holding Hyunsuk similarly and the two's faces were absolutely expressionless. If Sylvia wasn't flying upwards and Hyunsuk wasn't blinking, anyone could've mistaken them as statues.

Zen had shifted himself to sit on top of Hyunsuk's stomach as he got carried to the top by his master.

Bright arcs of lightning flashed in the sky and lit up the faces of all the serious ladies charging towards the vortex.

It was a picturesque sight and one that nobody could forget even if they wanted to.

"Why am I here…"

A green-haired girl nudged her glasses and said while getting carried. Her lab coat was fluttering intensely along with her hair.

"Meow—I mean, me too…"

Meryl realized she wasn't a cat anymore and said. She, along with Lizbeth, were held onto a blonde girl's sides.

"I don't know. I just felt I should take you guys with them." Jacqueline said to the two.

"You could've excluded us and there would've been no problem." Lizbeth said and shook her head.

"Well, can't do anything now. Half of them have entered the gate and it'll close soon. I can't drop you guys back so you have to come."

"Sigh…"

"Meo—sigh…"
