Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind

Chapter 72

Vampire Princess and Shocking Facts

Translated by AmaLynne

「I’m so sorry…」

「No, I’m glad to see you’ve come to your senses.」

I woke up in a conference room.

I searched my memory to find out why I was here and get down to my knees to the Demon King-sama because I was so out of control, and here I am.

…Apparently, something snapped off in my head when I saw Yomi’s cute outfit.

Now Yomi is back to her original outfit, barely able to keep her composure.

「Lean, you……you’re stiff……」

「What do you mean, Aron-san? If you want a fight, I’ll buy it.」

「You’ve been hard on me ever since you got stronger!?」

I’ve been told by Aron-san that I lack delicacy in many things over the past eight years, and I consider him to be one of the most neglectful executives I’ve ever dealt with.

「Totally…Well, that’s all right. Now sit down and let’s get started.」

「Y-Tes…Huh…」

「Lean, are you okay? Does it hurt?」

Oh…There’s an angel next to me!

Worried about me after all I’ve been through!

「Yomi, don’t spoil her. If you don’t scold her once in a while, she’ll grow up to be an adult who licks your life.」

「What? You treat me like a child!?」

◆◇◆◇◆

「…Now then, let’s get started.」

The Four Demon Generals presently gathered here are myself and Yomi.

From the executives, Vinel-san, Luz-san, Aron-san, Natsume-san, and Gareon-san.

Everyone else is on the battlefield. Well, I have to go soon too.

「About yesterday. I received a call from Tiana and Zedd, who are currently embarking on the attack on the Duchy of Mesto…They have encountered strange Twelve Holy Apostles.」

Strange Twelve Holy Apostles…?

「Leanne must have encountered her once. She is a woman named Mia, who goes by the name of『Celestial Maiden』.」

Ah, I knew it.

「Mia…?」

「Yomi? What’s wrong?」

「Uh? Uh, no, no, it’s nothing.」

Yomi tilts her head while saying so…It’s impossible to tell you not to worry about it, but now I have to focus on the Demon King-sama story.

「Mia is one of the successors to Asbal and Thrust, whom I killed five years ago…She’s low on the hierarchy, but she’s a very troublesome person to deal with. Because of the magic that she is good at…Mental Magic. The most popular of these is charm magic. Because of this, a large number of soldiers in the Demon Army have been put into a state of near brainwashing.」

Come to think of it, she was trying to do the same thing to me.

I resisted…If I’m not careful, even a high-ranking soldier might have a hard time resisting that woman’s charms.

「Soldiers in the Demon Army have a strong sense of camaraderie. It would be difficult to cut off their brainwashed comrades…Then we’ll have to hit Mia directly.」

「But that’s also difficult…I think she wants to use them as hostages or shields when the time comes. And more to the point, according to Tiana and Zedd, the moment they saw the woman, they hesitated to attack her for some reason. There is a possibility that she is still hiding something powerful.」

That bitch.

……. Oh god, why does that person’s face flicker in my head so much?

Oh, I already admit that she is beautiful. This me, I’ve felt that way, too.

…But that doesn’t explain why I hesitated for even a second to attack. There must always be some other factor.

「Thanks to this, the safe troops have been forced to retreat…If this continues, it will be bad. If the charmed soldiers of the Demon Army were to be used as experience for new heroes, it would be very troublesome. Not only that, but Yomi’s information could be leaked. No matter what it takes, we must kill Mia here and recapture the soldiers.」

But what should we do?

The charmed Demon Soldiers…From the magic I felt from that woman, I’d say there were about two or three hundred of them. We have no choice but to finish her off while avoiding them…It’s quite a hassle.

Charm is one of the worst abnormalities in this world. After all, once you are fascinated to the marrow, you will commit suicide without any hesitation if you are ordered to die.

Now, we need to think about countermeasures. …….

But there is no viable-looking proposal in the end.

The Twelve Holy Apostles would be no problem. If the Four Demon Generals or Rain-san were to appear, they could easily overpower them if they weren’t at the top level.

But these special types are troublesome. Because they are so powerful, if we are on the back foot, it will be troublesome to counter them.

The meeting went on for a long time, but so far we haven’t come up with any good ideas.

「Yomi, something…Yomi?」

「…Eh? …Oh, sorry. What?」

…? It’s rare to see Yomi in a daze.

What is this?

「Yomi, you’ve been tilting your head and groaning for a while now, is something wrong?」

「No, no…I mean……」

「What is it, Yomi? What’s on your mind?」

「Well, I’d like to hear about it.」

「Oh, no…I mean, I think I’ve heard the name Mia before…」

「You just heard it, didn’t you?」

「No, it’s different from that…I felt like I heard it a long time ago and many times before……」

Yomi long ago?

…That may be before she joined the Demon Army. More likely, does it mean before she became Hero?

Yomi’s memory is fuzzy up to the age of five. Because of the treatment she received during her Hero years, she cannot even remember her former name.

「Ummm……where was it……Mia……Mia……I think I called that name many times in the past……」

「Hmmm… Maybe I’ll remember it when I see your face. Wait a moment, I’m going to capture the video now.」

Demon King-sama waved her arm and Mia’s face appeared on the screen like in a movie.

..I’m disgusted with myself for thinking she’s beautiful when I look at her now.

Huh? But…looking at it again, this face…I feel a sense of deja vu…

「This face…Indeed, I used to…gah…ouch…!」

「Yomi!?」

「Yomi-chan!?」

「Hey, Yomi! What’s wrong?」

The moment Yomi saw the video, she crouched on the spot with her head in her hands.

Oh, what should I do with this! Yomi!?

「I’m, fine…! My head hurts a little, that’s all…! It’s more like…remember what it is…!」

「Take it easy, can you stay conscious?」

「Yes…! Ah…! Yes! That face…se always looked at me with cold eyes…」

Cold…eyes?

Mia?

「She’s…popular, she’s…I’m…troublesome, she…always said she’s beautiful, she’s pretty…I’ve been told that she’s very different from me…」

Who are these people with rotten eyes?

My Yomi is prettier than that one…

「Mia……Mia……sis, ter……?」

I’ll put Iron Maiden to such a person…………………what did you say just now?

I thought I heard you say『sister』?

「Hey…sister? Is this your sister?」

「Yes…Yes, I’m sure.」

…Ahh!?

Indeed…They have the same hair color and their facial features are somewhat similar…

I see, the reason I hesitated to attack that woman was that I subconsciously sensed a blood connection because of her Yomi-like facial features!

Tiana and Zedd hesitated, probably for the same reason…!

◆◇◆◇◆

『Yes, we are proceeding as planned, Your Eminence.』

『I see. You’re doing a great job, Mia.』

『Of course, of course. Unlike my incompetent sister.』

『…I see. Please continue.』

『Yes.』

「Fufufu…Now, let’s hear it from you, you lowly demons. The existence of the Four Demon Generals in question…In particular, tell us more about that first seat…Right?」

AN: Phew…The foreshadowing concerning Yomi’s sister in Chapter 2 is complete…
The next chapter will be the final chapter of the third and final “Overrun” chapter.
And maybe I won’t be able to post at midnight today. Sorry if that happens.
TN: This is the end of volume 3. Thank you for reading(and buying the advanced chapter) until this chapter.
I’ll change just some of the term for next chapter, just to make it easier for myself.
