A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

I wanted to just pass by, but Ms. Armand seemed to sense my presence, retracted her gaze, turned her head and looked in my direction.

I saw that her expression was still calm. She stretched out a hand and made a hook, motioning me to come over.

There was no other way. I couldn't refuse such an invitation, so I jumped onto the roof and stood behind Ms. Armand.

"How's it going? Are you getting along well with Moon?"

"......very good."

Actually, it’s not good at all...but in front of Ms. Armand, I dare not say "not good".

But Ms. Armand didn't seem to care whether what I said was true or not, and continued:

"You're still nervous, don't worry. If I had my way, you wouldn't have a chance of standing here and talking to me."

"No matter what, I want to thank you and your companions. Without you, it would be difficult for this lost city to see the light of day again..."

"To be honest, this is also the first time I've seen the full view of this 'Flower City'. It's really different from the small world I had in mind."

When these words came out, I was shocked.

It turns out that Ms. Armand had really seen the former capital of Florence with her own eyes, which she called "Remulos".

"Speaking of which, haven't we finished telling the story from last time? Although the audience isn't all here this time, I can still tell it to you if you want."

"But it's really boring for me to talk about it alone. You can ask me any questions you have."

...Really...can you ask anything?

I think the questions should not be too sharp, such as "complete prophecy" or "Ms. Armand's real purpose"... It's best not to mention them, otherwise you may be silenced.

Let’s start with what Ms. Armand herself is willing to say.

"Um... Ms. Armand, you said you saw with your own eyes what this city used to look like... is that true?"

"It was just a quick glimpse, but it certainly left an unforgettable impression on me."

"It would be better if there were fewer corpses to decorate the place..."

The second half of Ms. Armand’s sentence is creepy. I really don’t know what kind of scene she saw at the time.

"You should have heard what I said to that church member yesterday."

"Um.....I'm sorry..."

"I heard it, these are the facts, and more people should know about them..."

"As I said, that night in Remulos, in order to prevent the blood plague that filled the city from spreading to other areas, Remulos chose to seal off the entire city with a barrier."

"Actually... it's not quite accurate to say 'destroyed overnight', because there were still many resistance forces in the city for a period of time after that night."

"They are waiting for support from other city-states in the empire."

"However, what arrived was not reinforcements, but the real culprit that destroyed the imperial capital, the Holy Light Church."

"The church didn't even conduct any investigation inside the barrier. Instead, they immediately tried every means to block the news. Then, they cast a super-ritual magic on the land where the city was located, sinking the entire city and its surviving residents into the ground."

"But the church's approach is too naive. How can it trap tens of thousands of primitive vampires just by sinking underground?"

"But the truth is quite unexpected. I don't know what kind of power is covering this area... like a restraint... or like a contract... holding those wild guys here tightly..."

"But... this power also directly caused this entire land to be cursed forever. The living have no way to escape, and the dead cannot rest in peace..."

"We saw a lot of evil spirits on the way in... They were all once Florence people."

"...So...you have a way to deal with...those..."

"Those 'monsters'? There's nothing to be ashamed of. Although they are of the same ancestry as the vampires, to this day, the vampires are still extremely selfish and fight each other. What about a group of primitive beasts that have not yet been civilized?"

"Ordinary vampires really can't deal with them. Isn't there already one of our fellow vampires trapped in it?"

Is this referring to the vampire who arrived first mentioned by President Locke?

"Although they are primitive, it is precisely this primitiveness that is the most difficult for the vampires."

"Because in the blood clan, blood is supreme. Even though they lack intelligence and only have instincts, they are still of the same generation as me... No matter how mottled or mixed their blood is, it is not comparable to the people I brought with me."

"Wouldn't that be..."

"I'm talking about 'ordinary' vampires... not including me..."

"Besides... don't we have a lot of helpers? For example, you... and... those 'gravekeepers'?"

It turns out that Ms. Armand already knew about the "gravekeeper"...

"I have had many dealings with their tomb owners, so I know a little bit about what they are capable of..."

"In that case, you ordered your men to stay there, so you were actually waiting for them?"

"Exactly."

Will there really be no conflict between the two sides?

"I found an interesting point..." Ms. Armand said suddenly.

"You asked me right away if I witnessed that incident... Does that mean you have doubts about the authenticity of the story I told you before?"

It's over... I was so busy avoiding the sharp questions that I didn't notice this...

I decided not to answer Ms. Armand's question.

"Interesting, it's exactly the same question as that Moon asked."

Speaking of that weird Moon...

"Ms. Armand....I have another question."

"Speak."

"I heard that the blood race is divided into... thirteen clans?"

"Yes, this should be known to everyone. Then what?"

"Can I ask you about someone?"

"No problem. I know some vampires, big and small."

"She's probably active in... the Kush Mountains, in the northern part of Campino City... She's a... dog or wolf orc... Very powerful... Maybe from the 'Assamite' family... That's all."

"Assamite..." When Assamite was mentioned, Ms. Armand frowned slightly.
