Chapter 82 – Wandering White-haired Vampire Again
According to the information we obtained through our investigations, which sometimes included Yuzuriha-san’s secret joint torture technique known as “this joint won’t bend in that direction,” the mithril is secretly taken out once a month on the night of the full moon.
I looked up at the sky. The full moon was redder than usual.
That means, tonight.
“As expected of Nii-san. I can’t believe it’ll really happen today.”
“It’s just a coincidence. Well, the miners were too hasty, so I just thought there might be something behind it. And then there’s the possibility of smuggling.”
“No, that’s unlikely. Any sane person would have collected it during the day. Mistaking silver for Mithril would be no laughing matter.”
“Ah, so that’s why the smuggling is done on full moon nights.”
We have also identified the locations where the transaction may take place.
At the far end of the limestone cave behind the mithril mine.
The smuggling is conducted in a place where mithril is worshiped on an altar to ward off demons.
Since they might notice if a large group of people were to head for the site, only the three of us, Suzuha, and Yuzuriha-san, and I headed out alone to catch the smugglers in the act.
Well, as long as we have Yuzuriha-san, we should be able to deal with any opponent.
I’m sure of it.
We eventually arrived at the entrance to the limestone cave and walked in, holding our breath.
The cave was so narrow that people could barely pass each other while walking.
The surface of the rock was smooth even though the surface was bumpy. This is a characteristic of limestone caves.
“Suzuha. Be careful not to slip.”
“Yes, Nii-san. It’s so dark, I can hardly see anything.”
“Be patient. From what I’ve been told, the ceiling of the altar area is open and you can see the sky.”
“Still… Considering the amount of mithril to be carried out, there should be quite a few people, but I don’t see any sign of them…”
“That’s right… Could it be a dead end?”
While whispering in secret, we entered the limestone cave carefully.
As we continued walking, we reached a large area.
A gaping hall at the end of the narrow cave.
The ceiling, several dozen meters high, was open, and a bright red full moon illuminated the large space.
“……!!!”
What came into sight was a large number of slaughtered bodies.
The bodies of well-armed soldiers, who appeared to be official soldiers of some other country, were scattered all over the place in pieces.
Among them,
Only one person remained, and our eyes met.
The person stood quietly at the far end of the hall, and as they recognized me, a faint smile formed at the corner of their mouth, contorting their face with a joyous expression. Their crimson eyes, deeper than blood, remained fixed on me as they slowly began to move.
“You two, get behind me—!”
“Nii-san…!?”
“What…!?”
They seemed to notice something in my extremely tense instructions.
It’s an unmistakable opponent. I never thought I’d have a rematch here.
Moonlight shone on her face as she emerged from the shadow.
Her white hair reaches down to her waist.
By appearance, she looks like any noble lady of the summer.
But in reality, she is a legendary reaper who mows down all life she lays her eyes on.
I couldn’t tell if it was Suzuha or Yuzuriha-san who let out a “Hiii!” voice behind me…
After all, the wandering white-haired vampire had started running towards me—!
