Chapter 118 Cap 118: Strange Shadow(Chapter Preview)
I’m exhausted after using my abilities on four people, now they’re all gathered in the room and I just explained about érica and Kira’s races.
“Now that everyone’s calmed down I want to have a conversation about what we’re going to do for now.” (I)
“First I want to make it clear to you that you are new here that me, Kira, érica, Ibuki, Irina, and Irius have already registered with the Adventurers Guild, we will get our Guild Cards tomorrow.” (I)
“Diana was already an adventurer, we are all in the same group in the Guild, I say this because I don’t expect you to fight for now unless you want to.” (I)
“I want Freya and Caryna to teach Nolan and Alice about cleaning, cooking, and the like, Leo and Sophia are going to be responsible for the security of the mansion and the rest of you.” (I)
While speaking everyone was paying attention, but in the middle of the conversation, Alice raised her hand.
“What was it Alice?” (I)
“I would like to learn to fight too, is that possible?” (Alice)
“That’s not a problem, Irina will take care of her training, but only if she doesn’t interfere with her daily work, at least until we get more employees.” (I)
“I will strive for it, sir.” (Alice)
“Sir, I would like to know how many employees you want, if possible.” (Freya)
“I have no idea about the type of cleaning work or how to take care of a mansion, so I will ask for your help next time to choose the next slaves, the choice of how many and which slaves to buy will be yours, but you will have to meet certain requirements that I’ll talk to you later.” (I) 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“I’ll be happy to help you, master.” (Freya)
“But does anyone have any questions?” (I)
This time no one raised their hand or asked anything, so I keep talking.
“About short-term goals, I only have three.” (I)
“First will be the Black Market auction that Kira will participate in, this will be important to get some people with skills useful for us.” (I)
“The second will be the training, we have to learn to fight as a team, Diana, who has been an adventurer for the longest time, will be responsible for this training.” (I)
“Third do I want to explore a dungeon, but let’s leave that until after we get some result in the second objective, do you all understand?” (I)
“Yes!!!” (all)
“I’ll let you guys get acquainted, érica you can show them around the mansion and lodgings later.” (I)
“Yes Master.” (érica)
“Irius, help me to my room, please.” (I)
“Of course Dad, let me help you.” (Irius)
“Thank you, I’m really tired right now, I’m going to bed early, goodnight everyone.” (I)
“Good night dad.” (Irina)
“Good night master.” (érica/Diana/Kira/Freya/Sophia)
“Good night sir.” (Caryna/Leo/Nolan/Alice)
Irius helped me to my room and climb into my bed before leaving the room, so I went to sleep in the clothes I was wearing, I was exhausted, that was a long day.
—————-
Pov Irina:
My body is aching and I’m feeling a little tired after turning Alice, that’s because I used a single skill, dad used two skills to wake up the three slave family and used three skills to wake up Dark Elf Sophia, I can’t even imagine how he must be feeling.
I thought it was easy since he turned me and my brother on without showing weakness, but I think he was just playing strong back then.
Now that he’s gone to bed, érica and I will guide the new residents through the house, then we’ll show them their quarters in the other building.
After that, I’m going to call my brother and the two new Twilight Vampires for an explanation of Vampires just like we had with Dad.
“Now that Father is no longer here do you have any questions?” (I)
“Master Zenos said that sunlight doesn’t affect him even though he’s a Vampire, what did he mean by that?” (Freya)
“The father is the first Vampire of his lineage, our race name is Twilight Vampire, we possess an elemental affinity with both light and shadows, as such we possess resistance to sunlight.” (I)
“So he’s an ancient race?” (Freya)
“Actually he’s a new breed, the master only evolved into a Vampire a few days ago.” (érica)
Everyone was surprised by this revelation, but no one said anything.
“I see, thanks for clearing this up for me.” (Freya)
“Does anyone have any more questions?” (I)
“I was wondering how we are going to feed?” (Nolan)
“This has already been explained, you can eat regular food, about the blood we can bring from the monsters we hunt.” (Diana)
“Does anyone have a real question?” (érica)
“During the time the master was using his ability on me, I saw a shadow with the same eyes as the master in a chaotic space where there was only the shadow and I on a misty road with stars shining in various colors around the chaotic space. .” (Leo)
“Has anyone else seen this or was it just me?” (Leo)
“I saw it too dear, I saw the same thing, the shadow gathered a flow of energy and made it enter me and travel through my entire body.” (Caryna)
“I also saw the same thing, but in my case, the shadow waved its claw causing a strong wind, then the shadow gathered all the wind in its claws which crystallized and then gave me the crystal that entered inside of me.” (Freya)
“In my case, the shadow just pierced its claws into my heart and said in an authoritative voice ‘awake’ then I woke up with my body the way you saw it.” (Leo)
“I saw the same thing as you guys too, but for me, the shadow approached and placed one of its sharp claws on my forehead, so several images of someone practicing a strange martial art flashed through my mind.” (Sophia)
“What you saw, all of us who were awakened or changed by the master saw it too.” (érica)
“I will never forget that moment.” (Kira)
“I don’t remember well, but that’s when I was born into Kira I think.” (Byakko)
“I didn’t see any of that.” (Alice)
“Me neither.” (Nolan)
“That’s because you were changed by me and my brother.” (I)
“So you saw the shadow too, Miss Irina?” (Freya)
“Yes my brother and I saw the same things differently than you each saw something different, in our case the shadow grabbed chains that tied us and destroyed them by squeezing its claws, then stuck the claw inside itself and pulled out a drop of blood and gave us to drink.” (I)
As I remember this moment that happened a few days ago, tears start to fall from my eyes.
“Are you okay Irina?” (érica)
“Yes, that moment was when my brother and I were finally released, I will never be able to remember that moment without crying.” (I)
“What are you talking about? Why are you crying sister?” (Irius)
“We were talking about shadow vision in chaotic space during their awakening, so I remembered a few days ago when Dad changed us.” (I)
“I understand.” (Irius)
“How is the master?” (érica)
“Exhausted, he fell asleep as soon as I put him to bed, it took me a while to get back because on the way back I found Ibuki sleeping on a sofa in the lounge, so I took her to her room to sleep there.” (Irius)
“She got tired of all that talk in the hall and ended up falling asleep so I took her to the sofa to sleep more comfortably, but after the master almost fell overtired I ended up forgetting about her, thanks for taking her to the bedroom.” (Diana)
“Okay, we were all worried about Father at that time.” (Irius)
“No one has any more questions?” (I)
I waited a while to see if anyone else would ask a question, after a few seconds without anyone saying anything I started to explain about the Vampires with the help of my brother.
We took some time explaining everything, Alice was the most interested and asked a lot of questions which I answered as best I could, after explaining about Vampires in general I talked about our race of Vampires.
During our conversation, I found out that Alice and Nolan acquired the [ Weak Light elemental resistance: 1 ] ability, but Alice only received the shadow elemental affinity, and Nolan only received the Light elemental affinity.
Maybe because their bloodlines are not pure like mine and my brother’s they didn’t get the two elemental affinities, that’s an interesting thing to know, I’ll tell the master tomorrow.
After ending the conversation about Vampires we started walking around the mansion explaining everything to the six, Freya and Caryna were impressed with the kitchen while Leo and Sophia loved the training ground behind the mansion.
Then we took everyone to the building where the employees’ quarters are located, after the renovation that the master asked for, each room in this building is as beautiful and comfortable as the ones inside the mansion.
After everyone chose their rooms we went back to the mansion, while we were guiding them Sophia asked some questions about the father then everyone started to show interest in the subject, so I waited to finish showing the mansion to them to meet us again in the same room where I left it. to érica, Diana, and Kira who are the most time with Father to answer their questions.
Irius and I took the opportunity to find out more about Father too, we spent a few hours talking before everyone went to bed.
On the way to the bedroom, my brother and I talked.
“What do you think we should teach Alice and Nolan?” (I)
“Alice seems smart, so I think you can teach her the basics of magic, but it doesn’t seem like she’s going to want to learn about support magic, maybe after you teach her the basics of magic you can look for érica to teach her magic. attack for Alice.” (Irius)
“You may be right, thanks for the advice, but what are you going to do about Nolan?” (I)
“I don’t know yet, he doesn’t seem interested in learning to fight, he also gets scared very easily and doesn’t have a firm determination, even if I train him I find it difficult to be a warrior.” (Irius)
“His case is the opposite of Alice so teach him just enough so he can defend himself, then let Freya train him to run the mansion.” (I)
“I think I should do it then, it’s really going to take a lot of work to take care of other people.” (Irius)
When we got to our rooms each one entered their respective room and I went to sleep.
