The terrified man showed an ugly grimace. While groveling he showed a thankful gaze toward Shalltear, and kept on kowtowing to thank her. Shalltear showed an affectionate expression to the dog-like man, and flicked her finger.
“Suck.”
The two vampires came to be beside him, the man finally knew what she had meant all along.
“You will still live as an undead, so you can’t say I lied to you, okay?”
Unable to hold themselves back, the vampires bit into the man. Shalltear glanced sideways as the man’s life force was taken gulp by gulp. Solution, with her disheveled collar and clothes, walked up to Shalltear from behind the carriage, who then asked:
“Hm, so it’s all done?”
“Yes, I am very satisfied. Thank you very much, Shalltear-sama.”
“Not at all, because we’re both from Nazarick as companions. Ah, so did that human have his fun?”
“He’s currently enjoying it, would you like a look?”
“Eh? Really? Then let me see a little.”
A man’s arm suddenly burst out from Solution’s face, accompanied by a pungent smell. The stench came from the arm. Because of the strong acid, the skin was gone and the muscles were already half rotted. Since blood oozed out from the muscle and reacted with the acid, acrid smoke could be seen wafting off.
It was like an arm that was reaching up from under a pond, trying to grab onto something and kept on twisting and flailing around. Every time it struggled, the exposed rotted muscle oozed out liquid and blood.
“I apologize, I didn’t know he was still so energetic.”
Solution apologized with an arm still flailing on her face. She then roughly shoved the struggling and flailing arm back inside her. After the arm was completely inside her, she again let out a smile.
“That’s impressive! Even though you swallowed a man whole, one cannot tell at all from your outside appearance.”
“Thank you for your compliment. You can’t tell from the outside because my inside is quite empty. I am that kind of being, so I guess there are special magic effects taking place.”
“Hmm, I see— I hope I am not poking my nose into your business, but when will he die?”
“Well, if I want to kill immediately I can emit a stronger acid, but it’s such a rare chance for a man wanting to enter me, so I want him to at least enjoy it for a day or two.”
“I am not hearing any screams, is it because of the acid?”
“Not at all. If I use acid to dissolve his vocal cords, he might die from suffocation, so I used a part of my body to enter his throat and suppress his screams. It also prevents foul odors from leaking.”
“You take such a good care of your plaything, I quite admire that you can play with it up to its last moment.”
“Another thing, can you choose which body-parts you want to use acid to dissolve? For example, if you only want one part of the prey to be dissolved?”
“Yes, that’s no problem and it’s actually quite easy. The proof is that there are still some potions and scrolls inside me, and they’re safe. I can move freely even if Shalltear-sama were to enter my body, of course only if you don’t move around too much.”
“Preying ooze type is quite impressive... nhh. Let’s play together next time?”
“No problem, but... where do you plan to look for the toys?”
Shalltear noticed that Solution was looking at the vampires behind her, and showed a delighted smile.
“These girls are actually quite entertaining, but I want to wait until someone invades Nazarick and is captured. I will request Ainz-sama to gift them to me.”
“Okay, please leave me a share too. Next time, I want to swallow them up to their chest area and leave the other parts out. It should be fun like that.”
“Not bad, you should get along pretty well with that inquisitor right?”
“You mean Neuronist-sama? That special information investigator? It’s regretful that I don’t quite understand too much of Neuronist-sama’s art.”
Shalltear wanted to continue her chat with Solution, but a voice came from behind her and interrupted their conversation.
“Solution, preparations are complete here. It’s about time for us to leave.”
After replacing the horses’ reins, Sebas shouted from the carriage’s driver seat.
“Okay, I will be right there. Then Shalltear-sama, though I would very much like to continue chatting with you, please excuse me for now.”
Shalltear looked toward Solution’s back as she hurried to the carriage, then to Sebas who was sitting on the driver’s seat.
“Then, Sebas, I guess we will temporarily part ways.”
“I see, so you’ve found their lair?”
“Yes, I will go there in a moment. I am going to look if there is somebody with useful information that will make Ainz-sama happy. It seems our efforts were in vain this time.”
“I see. It was a pleasure working with you, Shalltear-sama.”
“Thank you for your hard work, let’s meet up at Nazarick later.”
“Yes, take care—”
Chapter 2 - True Vampire
Part 1
Two shadows could be seen moving full speed through the forest. They were Shalltear’s servants and concubines; the vampire brides.
