Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

Chapter 105 105 – Duty And Report



A few minutes ago, before Kai met with the Boogeymen.

In Bucharest, Ibaraki looked at her master sitting on the bed with his pale blue Spirit Power covering his body.

Looking at her Master, a serious look appeared on Ibaraki's face as she turned around.

"It's begun." She muttered and then looked at her master once again.

He had a smile on his face, meaning that he managed to lure maybe one of his targets or both. It was time for her to perform her duty.

Concentrating, she tried to feel even a small movement around the hotel area. She knew that his master's subordinates, Robert and Rebecca, were also on outlooking outside, but she couldn't slack off from her duty, no matter how easy it was, just because of that.

'Master said there would be an attack in this area, and I was asked to protect his real body as he moved the doll he bought from the market.'

Kai's plan was to bait out the perpetrator behind his attack by using bait made of the Puppet Marionette. Using his blood and a part of his Spirit Power, he made the doll look a bit similar to him in terms of smell and Spirit Power.

According to him, at least one of his targets, Boogeymen, would take the bait as the presence of the Dragon King could also affect their plans.

The one with higher intellect, probably the Alchemist or Memento Mori, as they were the suspects behind the Jack-o'-lantern and Time Square attack, would probably not show up immediately and choose to hide.

'That's why I was asked to find them. Because if they do show up, then they will show themselves around this place.'

People who worked in the dark would never observe a big fight near the main site. Instead, they would observe from a distance, from the place that would get involved in the fight one or another.

The reason why Kai didn't tell Amber was to fool her too. If she stayed with him in Bucharest, the enemy would find out about his plan.

They had worked separately yesterday, so they needed to stay that way. Amber was smart, so she would understand his plan when she noticed something unusual.

And Ibaraki…

A black Spirit Power began to leak from her body, filling the room with her aura. It was a part of her job, her part in the plan that Kai told him.

"I need to hide his presence with my Spirit Power, so the suspect or people who targeted Master beside the Boogeymen won't find out about his plan until he fights the Boogeymen." A smile appeared on Ibaraki's face. "As expected from Master! This Ibaraki will carry out her job with perfection!"

As for now, she needed to wait until the people on the roof contacted her if something unusual happened. It wouldn't be strange if the enemy got baited to this place instead of the other one.

Still, that was also a part of her duty. Dealing with an incoming enemy when her master was busy was a part of her duty as an Oni, a fighter race.

Her instinct as a fighter race and someone who had been living through wartime with the most destructive person, Shuten Douji, told her about something.

'Some enemies will come here. That's certain.'

***

In the nightclub, the Vampire lord had just returned from his business in the morning. When he entered inside, he was immediately greeted by the bunny-costumed vampire that he ordered to keep an eye on the Ruler.

"Welcome, my Lord. I have a piece of urgent news I need to relay immediately."

After taking off his coat, the bunny-costumed vampire bowed to Grigori, and he raised his hand to respond.

"Raise your head. Follow me upstairs." Grigori replied with a serious tone. He knew that the news must be related to the Ruler as he had gotten contact from the servant in front of her about his visit last night. "We shouldn't talk about it here."

"Certainly."

Both of them went upstairs to the Vampire lord's room. Once they entered, Grigori sat with his legs crossed, looking at the bunny-costumed vampire with narrowed eyes.

"So, Meliya. What is this urgent news? Were the people I sent to the Ruler made some problem or what?"

"No, my lord." Meliya shook her head slightly. "First of all, it is about the Ruler. He has some plans for today, and he talked with a Slayer we identified as Robert, codename Oni, last night. This morning, he left with princess Liliana to the same mountain where they were attacked yesterday."

"I am aware of that." Grigori nodded. "The squad I sent to accompany them had reported to me earlier. But it's strange. I've yet to hear their report in the last 10 minutes."

"That's the second problem, my lord." She narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?" The Vampire lord's voice was filled with curiosity.

Facing the curious Vampire lord, Meliya's lips quivered. She couldn't help but feel fear to relay this information to her lord.

Not only was his appearance scary, but the Vampire lord was also known to be brutal and unforgiving. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, her life would be in danger.

But, she was more afraid that he would get angry if he found this information himself and endanger even the other people.

So with a weak voice, she said, "All the vampires we sent to help the Ruler were wiped out. For the five that accompanied the Ruler, we found that they had been murdered by either the Jack-o'-lantern that was hidden in the mountain or the Boogeymen. But, as for the others…"

"For the other?"

"As for the others…" Meliya repeated with her body trembling in fear. Grigori's golden eyes bore through her as red Spirit Power leaked from his body, suffocating her.

Clearly, Grigori was not in a great mood. He was angry. The news about his subordinates being killed was something he didn't like.

"Hey, Meliya. What about the others? Were they also murdered by the Boogeymen or Jack-o'-lantern? Or were they murdered by someone else? Say it."

Gulping, Meliya braced herself and told her lord.

"From what the witnesses said, they were killed by another vampire, probably a traitor." She said with conviction, not even hiding a single thing. "There is a traitor among us."
