The night finally came. Erin was resting on her bed with her eyes closed, but not really asleep. As the room started to get dark, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Richard answered from the side.A few seconds later, Anna came inside, with her obviously appealing dressing style for the night. Erin stared wide-eyed at Anna"s attire. It was just too exposing. Her bust was revealing almost everything, her hands and legs were exposed too. She was wearing a light dress, which was short, only to the knees.
After a few seconds of staring at Anna, Erin finally came to her senses. She remembered Anna was a succubus, no wonder she would use such clothes. It was not like this was the first time Erin was seeing that kind of outfit. Back in her previous world, there were girls all over there, with even more revealing clothes. Erin was just used to see more conservative attire. That"s why she was surprised by seeing Anna like that.
"Alright, let"s go," Richard said and started walking out of the room. Anna opened the door for him and waited until both Richard and Erin were outside, before closing it. The hunt was about to begin once more.
They moved from roof to roof, looking for some prey. Finally, at a desolated street, they saw four men, a bit drunk already. "This will be a perfect target," Richard murmured and waved his left hand. A shadow engulfed the four men. Erin watched as the poor fellows were restricted and a sigh left her chest. How many humans were killed by her already? Well, they weren"t many, but the numbers would only increase in the future.
"Now I"ll teach you how to use hypnosis. It"s actually easy to learn. You just have to go in front of your target and focus on his eyes with your own eyes. The next step is to use your mind and magic, like you use the shadows, Erin. Just think you want the man in front of you to obey you as you watch him and at the same time use your magic power. It should work that way. Now try it."
Erin nodded and moved in front of one of their targets. Richard released him from the restriction and before the man had a chance to react, he was met with Erin"s eyes. Those crimson eyes lured him in a dream. A few seconds later, his body relaxed and his eyes became dull.
"It worked, now you can give him commands or ask him questions. The length of time it lasts depends on how much magic you put in this, so in your case, let me see... It will work for two hours."
Richard inspected the man and nodded with a smile. He wasn"t expecting less from his little girl.
"Okay. What"s your name and why are you here?" Erin asked.
"My name is Lenny. I was about to go home after drinking in the nearby brothel." The man said, which made Erin frown. A brothel? So he was playing around? Erin wasn"t against this, but it made her a bit uncomfortable at the same time.
"Now is your turn, Anna. You know what to do now, right?" Richard asked.
"Of course, my charm and illusions are almost the same, so there is no problem." As Anna answered, she moved in front of another guy. He was left free and trapped in the hypnosis as well. Richard nodded and looked at the other two.
"Well, you learned how to use it. Now is time for the meal." He moved to one of them and bit him on the neck, drinking his blood. Anna followed as well, as she bit her own target. Erin watched for a few seconds, but in the end, she started drinking blood too. Even if she restrained herself now, they would be killed in the end anyway. It wasn"t like she wanted to make an excuse for herself. This was just a fact.

"Boss, the half-elf was left behind alone in the inn as the others moved out. Guess they were out for some fun." A black-clothed man stated, appearing from the shadows and kneeling in front of the chubby man.
"That"s good, we"ll wait for everyone to be ready and if tomorrow the same thing happens, we"ll catch the half-elf."
"Yes, boss!" The black-clothed man disappeared in the shadows after saying that.
"Hehehe, my luck isn"t so bad in the end. No one knows who they are, that means they are lesser n.o.bles or just rich youths coming to the city to have some fun. That makes my work easier." The man murmured to himself with a smirk on his face.
