574 The decision to become retainers of the Soul Hero

Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura looked at Vincent with a faint smirk while trying to guess how resilient her jokester personality was for it to remain so deeply embedded in her soul.

鈥楨ven after death and losing her memories, Kazumi didn鈥檛 lose her playful habits...鈥?The five Lionheart Girls thought.

Afterward, one after the other, Mimi was asked various questions.

Ester asked about her mother鈥檚 people.

Lupa asked about how many strong opponents are out in the world.

Iris asked about plants.

Lilith asked about some juicy romance stories.

Sakura asked about how demons are treated in different places.

Sofy asked what Mimi thought was the toughest yet flexible material for a whip.

.....

Question after the other, and without Vincent acting as their mediator by being their common interest, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, Sakura, and Sofy were starting to accept Mimi instead of remaining wary of her.

Kazumi listened to their conversation while a thought couldn鈥檛 leave her mind. 鈥業 believe I am fit to become Mimi鈥檚 godmother.鈥?She was stuck on her train of thought.

The past Kazumi had driven Mimi鈥檚 father crazy. Thus, without her, Mimi鈥檚 overly attached mother would not have become too stressed to please Mimi鈥檚 father and join him. If both weren鈥檛 drunk because of Kazumi, there would be no Mimi.

Vincent later woke up. He opened his eyes, and he couldn鈥檛 believe how well the talkative and charismatic Mimi was already accepted. The five wives in front of him were smiling or showing friendly expressions. Sofy was also showing a friendly smile.

-Did Mimi already win everyone鈥檚 hearts? How long did I sleep for?-

[Look who decided to wake up, hehe. Did you forget you were the first one to have his heart, blood, and body conquered?]

-Me conquered? Nah. I only used her stamina share bite our whatever her technique was to conquer her.-

[Sure, sure. By the way, I think I am eligible to become Mimi鈥檚 godmother.]

鈥淕odmother!鈥?Vincent shouted, taking the seven women in front of him by surprise.

鈥淕odmother?鈥?They questioned. Some frowned or tilted their heads in confusion because they feared Vincent鈥檚 mind was broken.

-Quick! Explain!- Vincent urgently demanded.

[Well... this is how it went.]
鈥淗ey, girls. Why is Vincent not responding? Vincent didn鈥檛 feel like a weak human, but did we break him?鈥?Mimi questioned.

鈥淚t was Kazumi.鈥?Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura answered immediately. They knew Kazumi enough to confirm the word 鈥榞odmother鈥?was one hundred percent her word and not Vincent鈥檚

Mimi looked at Vincent. She examined his facial muscles鈥?movement, his eyes losing and regaining focus as if he was in deep thought. 鈥淒o they communicate telepathically?鈥?She guessed.

鈥淚t is more similar to talking directly to the soul, which in turn it becomes a telepathic communication. Our Soulmancer friend helped me learn the distinction between the two.鈥?Explained Lilith.

鈥淚 also asked her, and I guess that is why Vincent will not be able to hear her voice the moment he loses to his mysterious anger.鈥?Added Ester.

鈥淟oses to his anger? Is Vincent dangerous? If so, my father might try to kill him!鈥?Mimi asked with a frown.

鈥淜-k-kill! No! Vincent will not attack others as long as we body block him until he returns to normal.鈥?Iris urgently said after thinking about Mimi鈥檚 old and powerful father trying to kill Vincent.

鈥淵eah. I will grab Vincent and hold him until he calms down.鈥?Continued Sakura by announcing to give Vincent a bone-breaking bear hug.

鈥淏ut won鈥檛 you be in danger?鈥?Sofy asked worriedly.

鈥淢y mate loves us too much, hehe. He still protects us even when my mate isn鈥檛 my real mate.鈥?Lupa smiled energetically after recalling the first time she was about to die. Overload Vincent became infuriated to see Lupa get hurt after being considered a part of his group.

鈥淏ut it doesn鈥檛 make sense?鈥?Both Sofy and Mimi questioned.

鈥淰incent doesn鈥檛 attack his retainers when he becomes angry enough to lose control. Even when his mysterious life-saving skill turns him into an unkillable wild monster, he protects those who share a soul connection with him.鈥?Ester explained.

Mimi stood up and went to sit on Vincent鈥檚 lap, causing Vincent to stop talking with Kazumi and look at the seductive vampire, acting cute, showing she desired something from Vincent.

鈥淯mm... what are you doing?鈥?Asked Vincent while, in his view, were five wives looking to sit on him as well.

鈥淕rabbing my man鈥檚 attention. Can鈥檛 I after filling me up.鈥?Mimi licked her lips, 鈥淲ith good blood.鈥?br>
Just before Vincent could respond, Sofy stood up and went to the side of his single-seat sofa. Sofy lowered to one knee and looked at him with a pair of passionate eyes, giving the impression that she didn鈥檛 want to lose to the newcomer.

鈥?.. you too?鈥?Vincent looked at Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura. 鈥淐ompensation?鈥?He asked with a nervous smile.

The Lionheart Girls nodded and turned a blind eye to Mimi鈥檚 erotic behavior. It made Vincent question why he had to wake up to such a troubling day today.

[Hehe. It is as we talked about.]

*Sigh* 鈥淒oes it mean you two want to be my retainers? Do you two know a mark will appear on your bodes at a random location and that you two will need to hide it from the world?鈥?br>
鈥淚 don鈥檛 mind as long as I can serve you. I also want to stop you with my body if you try to hurt the kids or the good residents of this mansion. They mean a lot to me.鈥?br>
鈥淢eh. I don鈥檛 care too much about going back to the vampire鈥檚 original world. Not to mention, my father is already disappointed in me. A matching mark with everyone here would be nice, hehe. I could feel like I belong somewhere at last.鈥?br>
*Sigh* Vincent shook his head. 鈥淪ofy. You will lose your slave curse like what had happened to Ester. That means we will need a huge lie, such as Mimi gave you a scroll, and she doesn鈥檛 have any more for the kids.鈥?br>
Sofy nodded with a determined gaze. 鈥淚 heard from Ester what happened, so I sometimes commented how you could maybe one day free me. Also, I don鈥檛 want to see the kids having dangerous marks on their bodies. Living their lives like this is better than living a life of watching their backs.鈥?br>
鈥淚 understand, Sofy, and I accept your resolve.鈥?Vincent looked at Mimi and continued, 鈥淵our problem is different. Like you smelled Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura鈥檚 level of blood mutation, your blood will also...鈥?br>
*Sniff* 鈥淵eah. Already got that covered, hehe. My blood already has the sweet scent of your blood. My father will surely discover I have changed.鈥?Mimi tapped Vincent鈥檚 nose with her index finger and said, 鈥淏oop. Fifty years living with my father is enough to trick him with a believable lie, hehe.鈥?br>
鈥淥kay. I will start.鈥?Vincent said before he, Sofy, and Mimi appeared in his Soul Domain.

Vincent could now take a good look at Mimi while wearing adventurer-style clothes with colors resembling her dark hair. It gave the impression Mimi achieved what Vincent was trying to achieve with Lupa鈥檚 fur clothing.

Mimi鈥檚 eyes were grey, and it felt like looking at the moon. She was slightly shorter than him, while her chest was the largest out of the rest. They were on par or larger than Tula鈥檚 abundant chest. It made Vincent guess where the nutrients of the blood go.

The vampires and Ester鈥檚 ancestors lived in the same world. Because the vampires lived drinking their blood, the vampire skin became sun tolerant, had the same skin color, and had a similar permanent sunscreen.



Best

If the vampires were originally afraid of the sun or not, not even Mimi knew.

While Ester鈥檚 hair was crimson ombre colored, starting from black and becoming fiery red the longer the hair was, making anyone see the black as dark red, Mimi鈥檚 hair was similar colored, but instead of red, it turned light gray.

While the test was underway, Kazumi approached Mimi and told her [Hey, Mimi. I am Kazumi, and because I am responsible for your birth, doesn鈥檛 that make me some kind of godmother?]

鈥淏ut aren鈥檛 you already dead?鈥?Mimi bluntly said. However, the corner of her lips was slightly curved. She was trying to win against the trickster that allowed her to be born.

[But... but...] Kazumi was so sure the awesome and beautiful curvy Kazumi was going to be accepted in a heartbeat, but the result wasn鈥檛 as she expected.

鈥淚 am messing with you, hehe.鈥?Mimi hugged Kazumi and whispered, 鈥淚f you didn鈥檛 make my parent鈥檚 mistake happen, it could have happened eventually, but that would mean the current connection between us would not exist. Right, g.o.d.m.o.t.h.e.r?鈥?br>
[Hehe. Cupid Kazumi strikes again. ]

Kazumi giggled at the thought of being a cupid even when she was alive. Additionally, the thought of meeting the product of her successful work felt rewarding.

While Kazumi and Mimi were having a bonding moment, Vincent and Sofy chatted a bit further than them.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 expect such a perverted vampire would enter from the window, undress, embrace you naked, and leave me in the dust.鈥?Complained Sofy.

Sofy had spent months trying her best to get Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura鈥檚 good side. When Sofy would pop the question, she hoped to say yes.

However, when Sofy watched an intruder get accepted, she couldn鈥檛 believe Vincent was the problem and not his wives. In the end, she copied the shameless Mimi, and Vincent accepted her resolve to live being hunted if discovered.
