Although there was a limit to how many vampires she could create, if dead or alive didn’t matter, Shalltear could be considered an excellent hunter as well..
“That’s right, you need not say more, I will definitely finish Ainz-sama’s mission smoothly. I will let Ainz-sama praise me like ‘Well done Shalltear, you are my most important slave’, and then say ‘You are the one most suitable to be by my side’.”
“Please forgive my shallow thoughts.”
Those were Sebas' sincere thoughts, other than apologizing to Shalltear for his rudeness, he was expressing his apology for another person.
“I didn’t realized my words were also disrespectful towards Ainz-sama who appointed you, I am very sorry. Forgive me for displeasing you.”
Next, he lowered his head and apologized to Solution and the vampires too——at this moment, there was a violent vibration from the carriage, and a neigh from the horses pulling the carriage.
“... The carriage seems to be stopping.”
“Indeed.”
Imagining her master praising her after completing the mission, Shalltear who was immersed in happiness came to her senses. She smiled like a mischievous girl plotting a prank while Sebas smiled at her while stroking his beard.
Part 4
Coming out from the nearby forest were ten strong men. They surrounded the carriage in a semicircle. These men all carried different equipment. Though the quality of their equipment wasn’t great, one couldn’t say that it was poor either. One could tell that the weapons were chosen quite carefully.
The men were discussing about what to do with their prey, such as who would go first. The fact that they seemed completely complacent was obvious. After all, they had already done this several times before. This time shouldn’t be any different, so they had no reason to be nervous.
Zach jumped down from the carriage’s driver seat and jogged to these men.
Before he had jumped off the driver’s seat, he had cut the reins to prevent the carriage from being driven away, he also rigged the carriage door so that it could only be opened from one side, the side that was facing the men.
The men flaunted their weapons for their prey to see. It was as if they were giving a silent warning that if they didn’t come out immediately, they would be hurt badly.
As if they were reacting to the warning, the carriage door slowly opened.
A beautiful girl appeared under the moonlight. The gathered mercenaries and bandits showed lewd smiles and looked at her with gazes full of lust. Their delighted expressions could be seen clearly.
However, there was someone who was surprised: Zach.
Using one sentence to explain his surprise would be ‘Who is this?’. Zach had never seen this beauty before, despite being familiar with the carriage. The discrepancy confused him, rendering him speechless.
Then, another girl with the same outfit appeared right after her. Some of the men showed a confused smile because their target should be just one gullible, rich girl and her old butler.
Yet another seemingly young girl appeared behind the two, and the sight of her immediately made them forget all their doubts.
Her silky hair shone brilliantly under the moonlight, and her dewy, crimson eyes displayed otherworldly seductiveness.
To see such a gorgeous and beautiful girl appearing before them, the bandits could only sigh to themselves. They couldn’t even utter a word of compliment while being so dazed. This moment proved that for something truly beautiful to show up suddenly, even the desire of beasts will dwindle.
Bathed in the gaze of these charmed men, Shalltear showed an obscene and seductive smile. She then nonchalantly walked to the front of the men:
“Everyone, thank you for gathering here for me. Ah yes, who is the leader out of all of you? May I negotiate with him for a bit?”
Seeing the gazes of the bandits resting on one of their own, Shalltear obtained the information she wanted. Which meant that except for that one, the others were not needed.
“Wh….what do you want to negotiate?”
After seeing the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, the man who seemed to be their leader finally regained his composure and stepped forward.
“Aaah, forgive me. The negotiation was just a joke in order to obtain the information I wanted. Please excuse me.”
“Who the hell are you people…”
Shalltear looked to Zach as he asked the question:
“So you’re the guy named Zach? I will give you to Solution as promised, so could you please step aside?”
A few became confused, and in search for answers they started looking at each other, but among these men—
“Hmph, just a little wench. Your body is quite nice, in a bit I will make you weep.”
The bandit, who happened by chance to be in front of Shalltear, reached out to touch the full breasts that didn’t really fit a girl of such young age. But then— the hand fell to the ground.
“Could you not touch me with your dirty hand?”
The shocked man looked toward his arm that had lost its hand. After delay, he howled:
“Arrghhhh—hand, hand my hand—!”
