Chapter 165

Sae-Jin returned to the conference rooo home He told them that he and Lillia had come up with a suitable plan of action, so they shouldn’t worry too much

Then, he sat alone in the ee of everyday life shown on screen was the saic busy talked about the , who had published a brand new gri aired much too early in the day it seeation to entertain thethese turbulent times; while the news channels must’ve decided to run counter to the entertain about serious topics over and over again

As expected, the everyday lives re at the TV screen with a dazed face, before leaving the room himself

Greeted by the e, and drove hoh the ti to work, the roads were sparsely populated thanks to the frequently-occurring Monster attacks So, he got to drive at a more than acceptable speed He even rolled his n

SFX for wind rushing in

Cool breeze entered the cabin

Through the openof the car, he could see theout froht rays of the rising sun, the river below shimmered like the polished surface of a priceless jewel

He felt like concentrating on the scenery, so he put the car on autopilot

The stunning, beautiful views passed by him, and the people started their daily lives

Hu their day

Sae-Jin carefully studied each and every one of their faces as long as he could

Sae-Jin ca still deeply asleep While carrying a thin shtly kissed her cheek She opened her sleepy eyes and sot an off day today?" (Sae-Jin)

"Ng~~ I was in a raid yesterday, so I got the day off today" (Yu Sae-Jung)

"A raid? It o since you cao? But, it’s okay" (Yu Sae-Jung)

It turned out, she wasn’t ‘still’ sleeping As he was feeling apologetic, she suddenly pulled his head close and kissed him deeply in the mouth

She seemed especially hands-on today

There was no need for a deep discussion, then While san to slowly undress her

And so, the two of theether

"……You what?!" (Bathory)

A day after that happened

Bathory got surprised by Sae-Jin’s unexpected visit to her place, but then, got even one insane?" (Bathory)

"Well, it doesn’t ht? It’s not like you’ll run out of blood, after all Instead, I’ll supply you with the highest quality blood packs as cohts, no less" (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin usted stare What he asked her for was her blood

"Do you even realise what blood means to us Vampires?" (Bathory)

"It’s important, I know that" (Sae-Jin)

"It’s past the level of being important, since it’s used to de a Va to commit suicide by my hands?" (Bathory)

Bathory’s forehead creased up rather deeply

"Well, it can’t be helped, then I’ll just take it by force" (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin growled deliberately and stared fiercely at her However, her expressions becarier, instead

"Crazy bstard…" (Bathory)

"Argh, just help me out here, will you Like the boss lady you are" (Sae-Jin)

"Just where are you planning to use my… No wait, besides that, why should I even help you out here?" (Bathory)

"Because you already helped us out?" (Sae-Jin)

"You hurt your head real bad, didn’t you?" (Bathory)

Sae-Jin chuckled and pulled out his phone

"In return, let ive you a small present" (Sae-Jin)

He then projected one of the stored footages as a hologra of a Korean crow-tit chick flying around in the air Seeing that cute outer exterior, Bathory froze up

"Isn’t it cute? It looks cute enough, but it’s unexpectedly strong, though" (Sae-Jin)

"…S, so, what about it?" (Bathory)

"I’ll let you take it as your new pet It’s got a bit of a rotten personality, but I’m sure you’ll taot interested, but she quickly regained her senses and shook head fiercely

"Why should I…" (Bathory)

But Sae-Jin wasn’t finished with his sales pitch

"I hear that thing was created by the Vampire Lord" (Sae-Jin)

He heard it from the Nosferatus that this bird was actually a Chimera carefully created by the Lord hiht, since common sense dictated that a Monster wouldn’t look that cute no ive it to Bathory as a present at sohtly strange taste in hobbies

Sae-Jin chose not to pass on those eured that out without hile word Judging by how her chin protruded out and treainst the tide of ethy bout of silence Her voice eak and shaky

"…But, but, isn’t that mine already? I aze in order to pretend that he didn’t see the hints of tears on her facade of steady strength

"Technically, sure But that dang thing is really fast, so even you’ll have trouble catching it Most likely, you will end up wasting ti around this way and that" (Sae-Jin)

"What the? So, how the heck will you catch so that even I can’t?" (Bathory)

Kim Sae-Jin slared at hi the tension The suffocating time crept by He already knew she’d say yes, yet the tension was reallyup

Suddenly, Bathory lowered the shoulder lace of her red dress Her pale sot exposed to his eyes quite unexpectedly, so Sae-Jin blushed a little bit and averted his gaze once more

"Hey, hey, hey It’s too sudden, you know…" (Sae-Jin)

"Why don’t you just shut up How much do you need?" (Bathory)

There wasn’t too much tile day

So, the day after he got Bathory’s perular Guild Members Conference to be held Scheduled for the 17th every ether and foster friendship and camaraderie

The very first person he ran into was Ki before the promised time As a matter of fact, she arrived alood

More than likely,around within her mind

He took her to a five-star restaurant that even the self-proclaimed epicurean like himself found utterly beyond reproach

Less than ten o, she protested that she had no appetite whatsoever, but as soon as a juicy slab of steak was placed in front, she began chugging it down her throat Sae-Jin found it quite hu the delectable ood?" (Sae-Jin)

"Yes…" (Kim Yu-Rin)

While he studied her interestedly, another member arrived This time, it was Hazeline Her complexion was just as poor, but when she discovered both Sae-Jin and Kim Yu-Rin, some colour did return

Hazeline hesitated by the end of the table, wondering whether to sit next to Sae-Jin, or next to Ki entered the venue, let off a short exclaht next to Sae-Jin’s Hazeline had also chosen the seat next to Sae-Jin with great difficulty by then, so she got flustered by this sudden intrusion and hurriedly grabbed the back of Yu Baek-Song’s neck

"Hey, you!! Get out of there!!" (Hazeline)

"Where the hell do you think you are grabbing right now?!" (Yu Baek-Song)

Too bad, there was no way Hazeline could win in the physical battle, so the situation got reversed in a heartbeat

"Let, let go!! Letnice!!" (Hazeline)

Hazeline cried out in alar headlock, after all

"Why doncha try being not nice, then?" (Yu Baek-Song)

"Ah, arh, ahh!! That hurts!!" (Hazeline)
