  Knock, knock!

  Vd heard someone knog at the door, immediately knowing who it was and sighing. He slowly moved to the door, and without fetting he ot give more than three steps, he simply floated there.

  He opehe door slowly, as a geous Vampiress greeted him, although she was rather angry. It was Vd’s mother, crossing her arms as she gred at her son as if she were looking at walking trash!

  “H-Hello, mother…”

  He tried his best to act casually, but his mother quickly started talking before he could even say another word.

  “Vd! We have a lot to talk about! Why did you suddenly disappear yesterday when it was su important moment? Yht a bunch of goblins to my try, and we had to hurriedly create a Blood Binding Vow with them, all because you just felt like it!” She kept nagging. “I want a proper expnation of everything that happened instead of just resuming it. Also, you o work on your manners with your own mother; you dare go away in the middle of my speech?! You have to respect me more, son!”

  “I-I’m sorry…”

  For the en mieressa didn’t stop stantly reprimanding Vd. Paul never imagined he would py a game just for a mother to reprimand him and nag at him for ten whole minutes. It felt like he had gone back to his teens or even younger, when he was a rather troublesome kid, and his mother stantly reprimanded him.

  “And so, from now on you’ll have the task of guiding these goblins and giving them everything you promised because they’re also your responsibility. Yht them here instead of just killing them, uood?!”

  “I uand… But ’t you help me a little too? We’re family, and the goblins will prove to be useful!”

  And in that moment, Vd itted the mistake of talking back to his vampire mother.

  “Don’t talk bae, unruly child! I am your mother, and I am the ruler of this territory, and I MAKE THE RULES. Uood?!”

  “Aah, okay, okay… Jesus Christ…”

  “Hmph!”

  His mhed, crossing her arms and gring at her son, who looked annoyed and flustered by everything.

  She sighed, her aura slowly cooling her down.

  “But good work yesterday, so I suppose I could help you out… In exge for yood work. But I hope and expect this to not happen again, okay?”

  “R-Really? Thank you, mother!”

  “Hmph, well… e with me now; we must interrogate the goblins and ask them everything they know about the Silver Moon Duchy. Especially of its new ruler.”

  “Oh, you’re right; I pletely fot about asking that, mother.”

  “Hmm! See? You fot about a lot of things! You shouldn’t disappear out of nowhere while leaving so many things hanging out like that.”

  “I know, I know… I apologize.”

  Paul was a bit irritated by how much he had to apologize to this woman, but his own Avatar most of the time said these words automatically, without him even intending to say them. It was as if the will of “Vd” was the one speaking now.

  He walked downstairs, meeting his sister, Ia, and Ermelinda. There were a lot of women everywhere; he quickly began to realize he was now surrounded by cute girls, although half of them were Vd’s family, the other was a guy IRL, and Queenie was a mystery, and she wasn’t eve right now.

  “Ah, big brother! Wele back!” Camil ran to greet his brother, hugging him.

  Vd felt her cute little arms around his stomach, and he ko hug her better, ending up lifting her up and carrying her.

  “Thank you, Camil. How have you been?” He wondered.

  “I’m fine,” she said, kissing his cheek. “I missed you, though. Why did you disappear out of nowhere?”

  “I-I was… I really had to rest,” Vd muttered, hiding the fact he really had to pee. He seriously feared his bdder would burst at any moment.

  He quickly wao let go of her, but Camil ended up climbing his body and sitting over his shoulders, ending up with Vd piggybag her.

  “C-Camil?”

  “I’ll stay like this so I make sure big brother doesn’t run away!”

  “A-Ah…”

  As Vd felt that was both cute and a bit scary to think about, he was greeted by Ermelinda, who seemed rather moved by Camil’s ess.

  “That was cute! I wonder if you could piggyback me too, Vd?” She wondered, her eyes being stars.

  “What?! No!” Vd quickly rejected the offer, making the half-elf shed a little tear because of the rude response.

  “S-Sorry…” She muttered.

  “Don’t be rude with her…” Teressa said. “She is a valuable ally!”

  “You’re saying that only because of her special ability…” Vd thought, gring at his mother while squinting his eyes a bit. “Sorry, Ermelinda, I’m just a bit agitated; someone just nagged and reprimanded me for ten whole minutes…”

  “Oh…” Ermelinda was surprised. “I-I’m sorry about that.”

  “It’s fine, I suppose—”

  “Master! I’ve done as Lady Teressa requested: the important goblins with the most information have been gathered in the adjat manor,” expined Ia, interrupting Vd’s words. “I believe it should be about time we move to interrogate them! I have several teiques we could use, such as using venoms to torture them and such; it’ll be your choice, but we have a lot of fun!”

  “Torture?!” Vd gasped. “T-There’s no need for that right now, Ia… But I appreciate the… the thought. We do that someday ter. Remember that the goblins are under a special tract; they have to be ho and answer all our questions anyway, or they’ll receive a backsh.”

  “Oh, that’s right! Silly me, I pletely fot, hohoh!” Ia ughed, pretending to have fotten, when it was clearly her sadistidealking.

  “Alright, let’s go then; no time to lose,” nodded Vd. “Wait, where’s Chris—I mean Alitheus?”

  “I’m here~!”

  As Vd began looking for his cute incubus, he heard his melodic, adorable voice above him. Alitheus appeared, adorably and sexily cross-legged while sitting over the empty air as his tiny wings fpped.

  “Of course you ’t start without the main character, heh! So I’m here!”

  “Main character…?”
