Chapter 208: An Innocent Smile.

Currently, Lost Club.

Victor was sitting on an ice throne, resting his head on his hand as he looked at the four people in front of him, while next to him were Kaguya and Eve.

Bruna, his other Maid, was at the door guarding it and preventing any of Esther's employees from entering that place.

Victor was bored, and he really just wanted to go home now and rest. He wasn't tired either mentally or physically; he just wanted to sleep and be lazy after a 'long' day...

But now, he was sitting here looking at this group of four people with an annoyed look.

One man was the 'lost' eldest son of Adam, his college professor, and the father of his childhood friends.

A woman who was a rather suspicious clandestine witch, apparently this woman may be involved in some plan of his wives that Victor doesn't care about figuring out.

After all, if it was something Victor needed to know, his wives would tell him.

The other man was a bartender who was a very peculiar species.

And... The reason Victor was here, the woman who was a mature beauty.

Victor was like a cat, with infinite curiosity, and sometimes because of that curiosity, he would end up in this kind of situation. Was he interested?

Yes, he wanted to know what this weird 'feeling' was. His curiosity was screaming at him to know about it, but at the same time, he wanted to be home with his wives or probably go to sleep until tomorrow.

'Although… I probably wouldn't sleep…' Victor chuckled inwardly when he thought of Violet.

"..." Sensing the silence in the room, Victor started the conversation.

"First." He raised his finger and then looked at Johnny as he wanted to recap what people had told him so far.

After the small event at the bar, Victor called everyone to Esther's office and asked the woman to explain everything that had happened between Johnny and Ruby.

"Did you attack my wife and get beaten?" That's what he'd understood, and he couldn't help but flash a sneer at Johnny while feeling pride for Ruby.

"..." Johnny's eyes twitched a little. He didn't lose! He was just caught off guard because he underestimated her a little.

"Yes, that is correct." Esther replied, "He lost completely."

"..." Woman, why are you confirming so quickly? That was the face Johnny was making now.

'And why can't I be myself when I'm in front of him? What's this oppressive feeling?'

Johnny couldn't understand. Despite being a vampire count, he's a younger vampire, right?

Why does he feel... so oppressive? Why does his gaze make Johnny's instincts trigger like crazy?

Johnny couldn't understand why this man was so scary...

'Maybe it's because of that face?' He thought to himself, but he decided no, he thought it was because of something else he didn't understand.

'It's the same feeling when I was looking at Anderson.' He thought the two men were quite similar.

Johnny didn't like it. He didn't like feeling this helplessness.

He suddenly blinked and found himself surrounded by absurdly strong people, but what the fuck was going on here?

"Oh..." Victor's smile grew. For Victor, that was music to his ears.

'So that's why Ruby didn't tell me anything, he wasn't worth mentioning, huh?'

Internally, Victor was disappointed since he expected the old man's son to be stronger, but if he lost completely to Ruby, he wasn't even worth Victor's time.

What Victor didn't know was that Ruby didn't say anything because she didn't want Victor to turn this place into a sea of ??fire. Just like her mother, Victor tended only to hear the first words and immediately jump to a conclusion.

"And this woman..." Victor looked at Roberta, who all this time had a smile on her face, "I mean, this witch."

"Who is she?"

"Roberta..."

"Hmm?" Victor looked at the woman.

"Don't call me Woman or Witch. I have a name, did you know?" She flashed a gentle smile.

"..." Victor looked at the woman with a look that said, 'I don't care'.

"..." Johnny narrowed his eyes when he saw how Roberta spoke to Victor. It was very different from what he was used to.

'Accustomed? Has Roberta talked to other people besides Jinsei, Judy and Jessica?' Even Johnny didn't seem to fully understand his situation.

His mind was confused, and he was doubting his 'mark', and his memories now, 'who was this woman? He thought as she looked at Johnny.

"Johnny?" Roberta looked at Johnny with a kind look.

'...Oh, she's Roberta.' Johnny seemed to have remembered a lot of things now.

"..." Victor narrowed his eyes when he saw Johnny's reaction.

"That's what I want to know. I've already checked several times with my magic, but is she just a normal human?" Esther was feeling confused, and at the same time, cautious, "And that's impossible; how can a normal human mess with our memories?"

As an ancient witch, Esther knew that this was no feat an ordinary person could do.

"...Hmm, Count Alucard..."

Victor stopped looking at Roberta and looked at Eddy, "What?"

"Why is your Maid staring at me with a look that can crucify my body? To be honest, it's scary." Eddy looked cautiously at Kaguya.

"...?" Victor looked at Kaguya, who was staring at Eddy with a death glare, as she seemed to be watching the man's every move.

"... Hmm... Just forget about her." Victor didn't know what to say either, so he ignored it.

"... Okay." Eddy was silent again and just let himself be watched by this Maid...

Victor looked at the muscular man again:

"Jonathan Lykos, son of Adam Lykos."

"...?" Johnny looked at Victor.

"What is she to you?" Victor directly asked a personal question.

"She is my wife, I marked her." He spoke in a neutral tone, but unlike before, his voice was filled with affection, however, his voice sounded more…artificial?

"..." Victor narrowed his eyes sternly. He wasn't enjoying this at all.

"Jonathan, what is she to you?" This time, he asked, his eyes glowing blood red.

"..." Johnny seemed to freeze for a few seconds, "I don't know."

"..." Everyone fell silent again and looked at the woman with a wary look, except for Victor, who had a neutral face, and Johnny, who woke up from his stupor now.

"Ara, why are you looking at me like that?" She asked with the same gentleness but at the same time had a lifeless look.

"..." Victor's smile widened a little when he saw the woman's chaotic aura leave her body and quickly come back.

"…Johnny, just what kind of trouble have you brought to this place?" Esther spoke in an annoyed tone.

"What are you talking about, Woman? I didn't bring anything."

"..." Does he still have the courage to misunderstand? Veins started popping in Esther's head.

"Witch, why did you approach Johnny?" Victor asked.

Hearing Victor's voice, the woman looked at Victor:

"I didn't approach him, he saved me from an incident in the past." She spoke in a gentle and completely honest tone.

"..." Victor looked at Johnny to confirm this story.

"Is the story she told true?" he asked with his charm.

"... I do not know."

"..." Silence descended on the room again.

'As expected...' Victor seemed to have learned something, and a feeling of impatience grew inside him.

"Tsk, annoying."

Suddenly, a frightening pressure fell around everyone, and Victor appeared in front of Roberta. If he couldn't understand the woman, he would kill her!

That's what it looked like on Victor's face.

"This madman!" Magic circles glowed in Esther's hand, but she wasn't fast enough, and in the end, she just used her power to protect the building.

"Stop-." Before Johnny could do anything, Victor hit the woman in the face.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An explosion of air happened that threw everyone away, except for Kaguya and Eve, who remained in the same place.

"... Pfft..." Unconsciously, Victor almost laughed

"..." A sight that shocked everyone was seen.

An invisible barrier stopped Victor's punch inches from the woman's face.

"Crazy bastard-." Esther was going to complain that Victor was going to damage her establishment, but she stopped when she saw that the woman was okay.

Victor withdrew his fist from the small invisible barrier and looked at the woman. For a moment, the woman's eyes seemed to be glowing violet, but soon that gaze died, and she returned to her gentle expression.

"Ara? That was a little rude… But it's okay… I liked it a little…" She spoke in a low voice to the final part.

"...HAHAHAHAHA." He couldn't take it anymore!

"..." Everyone felt a chill down their spines when they heard Victor's laugh, except his Maids, of course. Why was he laughing like he's having so much fun? What's the fun!?

Why was Victor laughing? It's simple, the moment he attacked the woman, a spirit left the woman's body, and that spirit created a barrier in front of the woman and protected her.

It was just a few seconds, but with Victor's reaction time, those few seconds felt like an eternity.

The spirit didn't have very distinctive features yet, as it appeared to be incomplete, but Victor could see that it was the spirit of a woman, and that spirit had violet colored eyes.

Yes, the only visible feature of this spirit was the violet eyes.

"Alucard, you madman, what are you doing!?"

"Stop being a pussy, Johnny. Do you even understand what is happening now?"

"Huh?"

"...No wonder you were so easily deceived." Victor sighed, was this really that man's son?

"You, Woman." Victor pointed at Roberta.

"Me?" Roberta pointed to herself.

"You are coming with me."

"Huh!?" Johnny and Eddy didn't understand this sudden decision.

"Hmm… If you guarantee my safety, I'll go with you." She didn't deny Victor's invitation.

"...Woman, please. If you're not safe by my side, you're not safe anywhere." Victor rolled his eyes. He could more or less understand what happened now, he actually attacked to kill the woman, but something powerful protected the woman.

For a brief second, Victor felt the same sensation as he looked at the old man in Mizuki's body.

'A heroic spirit or something like that...' That was the only conclusion he could come to.

Initially, he'd thought the woman's situation was similar to Eve's, but it wasn't. The situation is completely different; the feeling was completely different.

"Ara, I like that confidence."

"Wait, Roberta-." Johnny was going to say something, but suddenly he felt something disappearing from Roberta.

Johnny's werewolf mark faded, and slowly all existing 'feelings', and Johnny's existing memories of Roberta faded away as if it were all an illusion.

Roberta walked up to Victor and flashed a gentle smile.

"Please take care of me, Count Alucard."

"Sure." Victor undid his throne and walked towards the exit.

"W-Wait, Alucard."

"Hmm?"

"Why are you taking this unknown woman with you? Is she not dangerous?"

"..." Victor's smile grew.

"Isn't that the best part?"

Roberta's smile seemed to grow a little in satisfaction.

"..." Esther was speechless.

"If she's at least 10% of what I think she is, she could be a good opponent in the future, and I can't wait for that."

'She can become a Maid too, but… I need to think a little before making this decision.'

"..." Esther's brain stopped working since she just couldn't understand Victor's thought process.

"But-."

"Bitch, please. You're not my mother, and I do what I want. If I want her, I'll take her." Victor looked at Roberta:

"She doesn't seem to be going against her wishes either."

"..." Roberta only displayed a kind face.

Isn't that stupid!! Ruby will kill me if she finds out you took this woman from this place!! She really wanted to scream it, but she couldn't.

"Anyway, I'll see you later."

Suddenly Victor stopped walking and looked at Johnny, "Oh Johnny, say hello to your father for me... Oya?" Victor looked at Johnny, who seemed to be in a catatonic state, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Johnny!?" Eddy quickly went to help his friend.

"What happened to him?"

"He is in a coma." She spoke in a neutral tone with an uncaring look.

"Huh?"

"It's a side effect of implanting false memories. His soul will recover soon, I think in two weeks, he's as new as a sheet of paper that just came out of the store."

"Oh..." Victor's eyes seemed to twitch a little.

Noticing Victor's concern, the woman said,

"Ara, that doesn't work on you, Alucard."

"..."

"Your soul is... Incredibly strong, your willpower is unyielding." She continued with the same gentle smile.

"Kaguya, Eve, and Bruna return to my shadow." Victor spoke aloud without looking away from the woman.

"Yes, Master." The two closest spoke at the same time, and soon they entered Victor's shadow, while a shadow that was behind the door seemed to enter Victor's shadow.

"Kaguya, do you have any magic contracts yet?"

[I do not have any yet.]

"Buy a golden contract, we will put a collar on this Witch."

[That's a good idea.] Kaguya smiled, and soon she used her dark power to go somewhere.

"..." Roberta's face grew a little annoyed.

"Why are you going to do this?"

"Huh? You're stupid, of course, because I don't trust you." Victor had thought of doing this before when he decided to take the woman with him, but now that he's seen the woman's power and she's explained it herself, he was going to do it sooner. That was his top priority.

"I will make a simple contract. If you use these powers on people who I identify as 'forbidden', you will die. Simple, right?"

Despite being a petty man who liked to do whatever he wanted, he would never waver in the safety of those close to him.

He was aware that bringing in a being who could implant false memories in other people was extremely risky.

Because of that, he would take preemptive action.

First, he would make a strict contract with this woman, so if she dared to use her power on anyone that Victor identifies as forbidden, she would die.

Second, he'll assign someone to watch over her.

And third, most importantly, he would look for a way to awaken whatever is inside this woman.

'I will plant a seed now, and in the future, I will reap… I can't wait for the future.' Victor's smile grew wider.

"Hmm, that's true." Roberta shivered a little when she saw Victor's smile, but it wasn't out of fear…

"Come on, we've got somewhere to stop by first." Victor wouldn't go straight home just yet, since he would wait for Kaguya.

"Yes…" Roberta looked at the group that was looking at her with a dumbfounded look and said,

"See you later, little fox, and your lover… Oh, and you too, little wolf." She flashed a small innocent smile and then followed after Victor.

What Victor didn't know is that this little careless action in 'hoarding' this woman with the intention of fighting her in the future caused a terrible fate for a certain group of beings.

Beings who spent their entire lives cursing Alucard's name, beings who feared the name of Alucard, the one who harbored the witch of envy.

But that was a story for another time.

...

Chapter 209: Something Is Challenging Heaven, And It's Not Lucifer.

When Victor left the Lost Club, a little chaos ensued.

"Sigh… I thought this place would disappear." Someone spoke when they saw Victor's back from afar.

"Glad he's gone... As expected, a visit from a Count is never a good thing."

"Indeed, indeed. I thought we were all going to die because of these two idiots." A woman spoke up while looking at the two men who talked about Ruby out loud.

Victor was being treated as a bad omen…

"What?"

"Why did you say that?" Someone seemed to growl at the two men.

"But isn't it true?" The man said sincerely, "Johnny is funny." He spoke with disdain.

"Indeed, when it's with someone weaker, he's got the attitude of an 'alpha male', but when it's with a vampire Count or someone stronger than him, he is quiet like a docile dog." His friend spoke.

"Pathetic." The two spoke at the same time.

"..." The crowd that knew Johnny couldn't help but agree with the two men's thoughts, but...

"While this is true, don't put us in the crossfire!"

"...Well, we didn't know he would react like that, I heard a rumor that he was related to Clan Scarlett, but I thought it was a normal relationship."

"Idiot! If he is a disciple of Scathach, of course, he gets along well with that woman's daughters! Of course, he would react like that! Use your head a little!" A woman screamed in annoyance since she almost lost her life because of these two idiots!

"...Oh." They opened their mouths in shock. For some reason, they thought that the woman's words made sense.

"...Wait, wasn't that woman Johnny's lover?"

"..." as if something had clicked in everyone's mind, a big smile started to appear on their faces.

"Johnny the White wolf got a green hat…"

"Pfft…." Someone almost laughed.

A short woman spoke in an innocent voice,

"Although, for an alpha wolf, he didn't do the job properly."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Everyone couldn't take it anymore and started laughing.

"I'm jealous of Johnny, must be nice to get NTR from a Count Vampire..." Someone spoke in a low voice.

"..." As if a supernatural entity had cut off all sound in the bar, people looked at the man who said this with a slightly wary look.

"What?"

"..." Nobody said anything and just looked at the man.

…

The next day.

After Kaguya came back with the magic contract, Victor made a basic contract with Roberta. Despite it being a basic contract, Victor put in several small clauses to prevent any possible harm to people he identified as 'forbidden'.

Simply and straightforwardly, Roberta's contract with Victor was:

"You can fuck, burn, and destroy the whole world, or whatever you want, but don't fuck with the people I point out as forbidden."

Needless to say, Roberta's smile at that moment was something Victor greatly appreciated, while he seemed quite satisfied with the clauses.

But everything wasn't all flowers and rainbows, despite Roberta's 'gentle' personality, since for some reason, this woman couldn't get along with Bruna or Sasha.

Victor didn't understand why the two women didn't like Roberta, but he assumed that must be because of their personalities.

Ruby didn't have much of an opinion on the matter, while she just stared at Victor with a look colder than the North Pole, and her face said:

'Again?'

The same could be said of Scathach and Violet.

They both didn't like that he brought another woman into the house, even though that woman wasn't one of his.

And what did Victor do at that moment?

When he saw that the women were upset?

He turned around and said:

"I'm going to sleep, do you want to come?"

"..." A silence fell over the place.

And the women looked at each other and nodded, and in the end... He ended up in this situation.

Victor was lying on an unnecessarily large bed with five women around him.

Wait... What?

Five!?

Victor, who had already awakened from his sleep, looked around and saw Violet, Ruby, and Sasha as they came into the world.

That's normal. He always slept with his wives like that, since when he was younger, he couldn't sleep if he wasn't completely naked or just in his underwear, but...

Why are they here?

"Hmmm..." A long golden-haired woman who was the way she came into the world was sleeping on Victor's chest along with another golden-haired woman. Despite being very similar to one of his wives, Victor knew that this woman was not his wife.

"Ugh..." Victor looked at whoever gave that groan and saw two red heads the way they came into the world as they were sleeping in Victor's arms.

'Scathach, I can understand a little, but what about this woman? When did she get here?' Victor thought as he looked at one of the blonde-haired women.

"Darling..." Victor looked away and saw Violet, who looked like she possessively took his left side all to herself.

"..." He flashed a gentle smile when he saw Violet's sleepy face.

One of the golden-haired women seemed to wake up and looked at Victor.

"Oya…? You woke up?"

Victor narrowed his eyes when he saw the woman's innocent smile:

"Woman, what are you doing?"

"...I'm sleeping with my beloved daughter." She responded with the same smile.

"..." Victor had no words to say otherwise. After all, technically, she was sleeping with her daughter...

The woman got up slowly, quite sensually, as if she was trying to provoke someone.

"Hmm?" Victor stared at the woman's breasts blatantly with a strange look.

"Are you using that power?"

"...yeah."

"You do not need to."

"Oh...? Why don't I?"

"You are already very beautiful as you normally are, you don't need to use that power for that."

"..." The woman's smile seemed to grow distorted for a few seconds but quickly returned to normal, and she spoke:

"I see... In that case." As if by magic, the woman's breasts began to shrink to her natural size, which was a B-cup.

"What do you think?"

"Good," Victor spoke honestly.

Natashia's smile grew a little, and she wouldn't lie that she liked what Victor said.

"..." An awkward silence fell around them, and as if by fate, the women around Victor began to wake up.

And the first of them was Scathach and Ruby.

"... Hmm? Natashia?"

"Sup, Scathach." For a moment, Natashia looked like a teenager greeting her friend.

"..."

Sasha stood up groggily and looked at the golden-haired woman who looked a lot like her.

"... Hmm? Clone?" She still looked like she was sleeping, but upon understanding who this person was in front of her, her eyes widened:

"M-Mother!? What are you doing here!?"

"Sleeping with you?" Natashia spoke with a happy smile.

"…Eh…?" Sasha was taken a bit by surprise at the honesty of the woman's words, and she couldn't help but flash a small, happy smile, but that smile soon died when she realized something:

"I'm not sleeping alone! And why are you naked!?"

"You know I always slept naked, and I didn't realize you were with other people, I arrived tired from my trip and just went to rest with my beloved daughter."

"Bullshit."

"Hahahaha, don't worry about small details, come here and give me a hug, I missed you." Natashia quickly hugged her daughter.

"E-Eh!?" Despite being taken by surprise.

"..." Ruby, who saw all this, just looked at Sasha with a look that said, 'Welcome to the club.'

'Now someone will feel my pain... Now someone will understand my pain.' She thought as she looked at her mother, who was looking at Natashia with a slightly annoyed look.

... She was still a little groggy too.

"..." Victor just remained silent as he enjoyed the sight of various breasts of different sizes in front of him.

"… whatever." Scathach suddenly spoke while looking at Natashia, and then she lay down on Victor's arm and snuggled into his chest.

'Better...'

"..." Victor's smile grew a little when he saw Scathach's attitude.

'This Bitch...' Natashia's eyes twitched a little when she saw Scathach's attitude.

'Unfortunately, I can't do that yet, I've already passed my limits entering his room.' She was an Alpha predator and knew when to attack and when to retreat.

"..." Ruby looked at her mother's attitude with a neutral gaze.

Seeing the small satisfied smile on her mother, a smile she rarely saw during her childhood, Ruby thought:

'Whatever.' And then climbed on top of Victor while she pushed Sasha and Natashia away and lay on his chest.

Soon she closed her eyes. Ruby has always been a lazy person in the morning, and she was too lazy to use her brain or think of something complicated.

"...M-Mother, stop." Sasha was so busy with her mother's embarrassing actions, hugging her naked in front of her husband that she didn't even realize her place was taken.

"Hahaha, stop resisting and come here," Natashia spoke as she suddenly pulled Sasha to her chest area and lay on the other side of the bed.

"...Mother?" Sasha looked up.

"Just stay like that for a moment..." Natashia spoke in a gentle tone as she hugged Sasha a little tighter.

"..." Sasha was feeling strange since she had never received this kind of affection from her mother, but... It wasn't bad...

"Are you okay...?" She asked in a low voice as she hugged Sasha a little closer.

"...Yes?" Sasha didn't seem to understand that Natashia was talking about the incident that someone had tried to ambush her.

"..." Natashia displayed a gentle little smile when she realized that Victor had protected her daughter:

"That's good..." She sniffed her daughter's hair a little.

"Mother...?"

"This is really, really good..."

Natashia looked like she didn't want to say anything else and just closed her eyes.

"..." Victor, who was watching all this, displayed a small, gentle smile and felt satisfied.

"Darling... I can't sleep, you're poking my belly..." Ruby spoke in a low tone with a bit of embarrassment.

"..." Victor looked at Ruby and spoke with a strange smile:

"Come up a little further, then."

"... Okay." Ruby crawled a little farther forward, and soon Victor's firmness rose to the heavens and touched Ruby's important spot.

"Better?"

"... Of course not." She replied with a bit of embarrassment, "But it's not nudging me anymore. I can sleep now..."

Victor felt something wet his younger brother, and with the same strange smile, he said:

"Unfortunately, this is uncontrollable. After all, how can I be calm with you on top of me?"

"...I see..." Ruby flashed a small smile and closed her eyes.

Victor sighed inwardly and looked up at the ceiling, and soon he started counting sheep in an attempt to sleep.

A few minutes passed, his consciousness began to fall into a dark abyss, and quickly, he slept.

...

"Master, Master." Someone seemed to be rocking Victor's body in an attempt to wake him up.

"...Hmm..." Victor slowly opened his eyes and saw the faces of Eve and Kaguya, who were very close to him.

"Master, you need to wake up, something has happened," Eve spoke.

"... What happened?" Victor asked, a little groggy, and he also realized he was alone in bed.

'Did I lose track of time?' Victor thought to himself, 'Why didn't anyone wake me up?'

"Former Countess Natashia and Lady Anna have met." Kaguya dropped the bombshell, and as if not satisfied, she dropped two more bombs, "She's talking to Roberta, Bruna, and Scathach too."

BOOOOOOOOOM!

"!!!" All of Victor's drowsiness disappeared as if it had never been there, and he got to his feet.

"Whoaaa, ??big..."

Victor ignored Eve and walked towards his wardrobe.

Eve's eyes seemed glued to Victor's instrument, as she looked quite curious. She wanted to touch and caress to know how he felt.

'So this is a man's sexual organ... It's different from books.' Eve thought, and somehow, slowly, she began to have an urge to-.

Slap!

Kaguya slapped Eve's head.

Eve's thoughts were interrupted, and she held her head:

"Ouch." Eve looked at Kaguya with a slightly irritated look.

"Don't stare too much." Kaguya warned in a strict tone.

"Why?" Eve didn't understand.

"It's disrespectful." As a professional Maid, you must serve your master and have no cravings for him! As expected, she is still a long way from being a proper Maid.

"..." Eve gave her a look that showed she didn't understand.

"Why is it disrespectful?" She didn't seem to understand.

"..." Kaguya facepalmed. She forgot that the woman still doesn't have common sense, so she looked at Eve and spoke.

"I'll explain later."

"... Okay."

Victor suddenly stopped pacing and stared at his wardrobe with a thoughtful gaze.

'It will take a long time for me to change.' He looked at Kaguya and flashed a small smile.

"Kaguya, work your magic." Victor raised both arms as if in an act of provocation, but he was just opening his arms for Kaguya to dress him.

"..." Eve unconsciously stared at Victor's younger brother again, but soon she stopped staring at his younger brother when she saw Kaguya's reaction.

Kaguya's smile grew, and she disappeared into the darkness, then she passed Victor, and in less than a second, the man's entire body was already dressed in his usual suit.

"Done." Kaguya spoke while her eyes seemed to be shining.

"Umu! As expected of you, a perfect job as always." Victor displayed a gentle smile and stroked Kaguya's head.

"..." Kaguya's body trembled as she displayed a small imperceptible smile.

"..." Eve's eyes went cold, and she thought, 'What about having no desires for your master?'
