Chapter 310: Things to sort out before leaving
Victor takes Eleanor to Scathach"s mansion.
He patiently waits for the woman to recover from her motion sickness.
"...f.u.c.k...Victor, I swear that one day, I will kill you for this." Eleanor spoke with the expression of someone who was about to vomit.
"Hahahaha, I really look forward to that."
"..." Eleanor narrowed her eyes at Victor when she heard his words, but she wasn"t in the mood to complain now.
"Why is he so happy to know that I"m going to kill him? Is he some kind of m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?" Eleanor was really thinking about that possibility.
But remembering the way he teases people, and even her Master, someone who is feared by everyone, including herself.
Eleanor seriously doubts that this was true. After all, this man was so shameless as to play with Scathach!
The Scathach!
Not to mention Natas.h.i.+a!
"Eleanor, pack your things and wait for me here. I have some business to attend to."
"…Hmm?" Eleanor interrupts her thoughts and looks at Victor with a confused look, but when Victor"s words register in her head, she asks:
"Are you really going into my territory?"
"We still have time, you know?"
"Yes, but I want to keep my promise to you." He flashed a gentle smile.
"Oh?" Eleanor was quite surprised when she saw Victor"s determination to help her.
"I will bring the weapons I promised, and I hope you keep your promise."
"…Eh?" Eleanor"s entire body visibly shuddered.
And her face turned a little red as she remembered the "promise" she made with Victor.
She was embarra.s.sed because she remembered that incident! The incident she had already forgotten about!
Because of that confusing misunderstanding, she started thinking nonsense!
"...Yes, I will accompany you.." After all, that was the promise they had made.
In exchange for various weapons of ma.s.s destruction, Eleanor would accompany him 24 hours a day as long as he remained in her territory.
And to make matters worse, they would have to sleep in the same room!
That was embarra.s.sing!
...Victor didn"t ask for that...
"Good." Victor nodded in satisfaction and started walking towards the entrance of the mansion.
Victor picked up a phone and typed in some numbers. Then, when the call connected, he said:
"Natalia, come here."
"Yes, master." Natalia didn"t refuse or ask what he wanted. Instead, she quickly stopped what she was doing, gave the other maids some excuses, and opened a portal to Scathach"s mansion.
Although Victor didn"t give much information about where "here" is, by the logic of this situation, she thought "here" was her home.
Therefore, she returned to Scathach"s mansion.
And just as expected, she can feel Victor in the mansion, precisely speaking at the entrance to the mansion.
She opens another portal and appears in front of Victor.
Looking at the man, who had short hair and violet eyes, she couldn"t help but feel enchanted by his face for a few seconds.
"Natalia, open a portal to the human world."
"...Huh? Yes, I will do it." Natalia woke up from her stupor and quickly responded.
"W-Wait! Where are you going!?"
"...?" Victor looked at Eleanor:
"There are some things from the human world that I want to take to your territory."
"Oh..."
"I"ll be back in a few hours... Of course, that"s if that motherf.u.c.ker doesn"t shut this world down again."
"!!!" Eleanor felt her body tremble unconsciously when she heard Victor"s hateful tone.
Finis.h.i.+ng talking to Eleanor, Victor approaches Natalia and picks her up like a sack of potatoes on her shoulder.
"W-Wait, master!"
"Hush, I"m taking you with me as a form of security."
"But I don"t want to go, I have to help Lady Violet-."
"I didn"t ask for your opinion." Victor spoke in a neutral tone.
"..." An awkward silence fell around them, and when Victor was about to step through the portal, Natalia screamed as she struggled:
"Are you kidnapping me!?"
"Yes."
And that was the last word Eleanor heard from the pair before the portal closed again.
Sigh...
Eleanor takes a long breath, and she can"t help but think that this man is as irrational as ever.
He just goes and kidnaps a woman like it"s normal.
"...Wait, my master is like that too."
And then she opened her eyes in shock as she realized a fact.
"... Am I like that too?"
Memories of her kidnapping people without asking for permission began to pop into Eleanor"s head.
"GAHHHHH!" Eleanor placed both hands on her head as she screamed in disbelief.
She couldn"t believe she was equal to her master and Victor!
...
Before speaking to Selena, Victor decided to visit Esther"s witches. Out of all the current witches he knows, Esther and Esther"s witches are the most "trusted" for sensitive matters.
Much more reliable than even June herself.
Victor has spent a lot of time with them and knows each of them, and there"s also the fact that Esther doesn"t want to betray Ruby because the moment she does, she"s going to disappear.
As long as she"s a good girl, everything will be fine.
Victor wants to meet Selena and is going to send Dracula a gift, a warning saying that his wives were cheating on him.
Because of these reasons, Esther"s witches and Esther herself are "trustworthy".
Although Victor knows he should never completely trust a witch, Adonis" memories prove it, and Ruby"s experience with witches also proves it.
Victor only "trusts" the current witches because he has control over them.
The journey back to Esther"s bar wouldn"t take long, Victor just had to tell Natalia, and the woman would open a portal for him.
Once he arrived at the scene, he would request a service from a specific witch, a witch who specializes in recording memories on a device and bringing them to reality.
But before speaking to Esther"s witches, he stopped at a place he knew all too well.
Victor flies towards an abandoned building in Canada, enters through the roof of the building, and puts Natalia down.
"Ugh..." The maid sat on the floor while holding her mouth with a sick expression as if she might throw up at any moment.
Victor lets go of his Odachi, and the weapon begins floating alongside Natalia as if protecting the Maid.
After all, he didn"t want to overuse Natalia"s powers. He also didn"t know the exact place his friend was hiding and just had an approximate location that could change over time.
And just as expected, when he arrived at that location, he realized that the woman was no longer there.
Victor"s eyes begin to glow faintly violet, and his world changes color.
He started to investigate the place as Victor walked all over the building and searched each area carefully but found nothing.
It was as if his friend hadn"t left the message she"d promised him she would.
Victor sighs and touches his chin as he starts to think about the woman"s personality.
He knew she left some kind of message, but he didn"t know where.
"Knowing what that woman"s personality would be, she should have put it somewhere that isn"t too obvious, a location that people wouldn"t specifically look for.
Victor looked at the top of the building, and with a thoughtful expression, he looked at the water tank with a penetrating gaze.
Now that he thought about it, he hadn"t searched that spot yet.
Victor focused his vision on that place and saw a message.
"... This woman." Victor felt like sighing when he saw the obvious spot.
He leaped into the air, and within seconds, he was on top of the water tank.
He removes the lid of the water tank and sees a message written in red.
"Meet me at that memorable spot." He read aloud.
Victor looked confused at the message since he didn"t remember having a memorable time with that woman.
He used as much of his brain as he could and thought of possible places he"d been with that woman that maybe she"d find memorable.
"Ah..." Victor opens his eyes, and smiling a little, he burns the area where the message was, successfully erasing the message.
Victor jumps towards the ground next to Natalia, takes his Odachi with his left hand, and asks her:
"Would you rather be carried like a sack of flour or hold me?"
"..." Hearing what Victor said, Natalia looked at him with an impa.s.sive gaze, she hesitated for a few seconds, but then she made a decision.
"I choose the second option, thank you very much." Flying at high speeds while upside down was pretty nauseating.
"Very well... Come on." Victor opens his right arm in a gesture as if he"s waiting for Natalia to embrace him.
Natalia stares at the part of Victor"s body he"s asking her to hug, and for a few seconds, she feels embarra.s.sed.
"My b.r.e.a.s.t.s will touch him…this…" She had no idea, but for some reason, she felt very aware of Victor"s presence.
And that hadn"t happened before. She thinks it owes to his new appearance.
"... He smells good too."
Watching Natalia"s silent reaction, Victor was quite surprised to see such reactions coming from a woman like her, who rarely shows emotion.
"Aphrodite"s blessing along with Adonis" beauty is simply unfair." Victor didn"t doubt that with his current self, he only needed to snap his fingers, and half the women in the universe were going to be his.
...Maybe half the women in the universe were an exaggeration, but you get the point.
Though he wouldn"t do that, he"s more than satisfied with what he has. He has wives so lovely, so strong, so independent... and so crazy.
The expression "don"t put your d.i.c.k in a crazy woman" doesn"t work on Victor.
Because that"s the trait that attracts him the most.
"Natalia?"
"Y-Yes! I will!" She quickly jumps up off the floor and hugs Victor while wrapping both her hands around his neck.
She hides her face in his firm, muscular chest.
She breathes in a lot of air and smells Victor"s scent.
"He smells so good!"
Victor wraps his right arm around Natalia and looks at the sky.
Lightning flashed across his eyes for a few seconds, and with a crash of lightning, he disappeared.
