“呜欸？！”

Without hesitation, he pulled Flandre behind him.

then.

The next moment—

Chapter 462 The Vampire Sisters Finally Reconcile

This must be an extremely unimaginable scene.

At least for the two people present, it was indeed something hard to imagine.

“…Huh?”

Flandre, who was being blocked behind her, raised her head.

At that moment, she couldn't help but show her surprise on her face.

"The dolls are broken..."

Under Flandre's astonished gaze, something that should never have happened became a reality.

Those monster corpses, which should have been destroyed by her abilities to the point of being completely unable to move, and even already rotting away.

It started moving again.

They swayed, and within their dark eye sockets, their eyes, which were difficult to look directly at, flashed an eerie red light.

The monster swayed and twisted.

Their fragile bodies writhed like zombies, and then they focused their gaze on Flandre.

It was as if they had realized that this girl was the culprit who had killed them in the first place.

The monsters emitted roars that sounded like retching.

"Gaa—ee—"

With this roar that was hard to accept from the senses, the monsters in front of her rushed directly towards the girl.

Dragging its body, which seemed to be about to shatter into pieces, the monster was covered in mud, and its blood-red eyes revealed a murderous intent that seemed to have no reason.

And just like that, the monsters raised their claws and swung them at the young girl who hadn't even had time to understand what was happening.

—Bang.

But before that.

The white figure blocking the girl's path swept away all the monsters with a single kick.

Boom——! ! !

Their dilapidated bodies were instantly kicked against the wall by that sweeping blow, shattering into countless fragments on the ground.

"Keep a close eye on things."

Accelerator casually put his right foot down and reminded Flandre in a slightly displeased tone.

Although the other party has the constitution of a vampire, and would probably not be injured even if directly hit by those monsters, the first person still protected her without hesitation.

"Damn it, but what exactly is this all about?"

Accelerator turned his head and looked directly at the monster remains that he had shattered with a single blow.

"This isn't a haunted house in an amusement park, so how did these guys, who're pretending to be ghosts, manage to stand up again like zombies?"

"Fran doesn't know either... Big brother, what's an amusement park?"

Realizing that Flandre truly had no idea what was happening, Accelerator gave up on trying to confirm it with her.

However, the monster remains that he had completely shattered did not stop moving.

They trembled on the ground, and even though they had been pulverized by the previous blow, one could still sense their sinister presence.

Followed by.

They changed their form in front of one side of the passage.

"what?"

Under Accelerator's watchful gaze, the dust covering the ground suddenly coalesced.

Then, it turned directly into a cloud of dark red mist.

Before he could even react, the mist had already transformed into a higher form and rushed towards the wall behind him in an instant.

Amazingly, the mist itself, like a phantom, penetrated directly into the interior of the wall in one breath.

"Ah! The dolls turned into mist and ran away!"

Flandre exclaimed in amazement again, and she seemed to reach out as if to grab something.

But in the end, they couldn't grasp anything.

"Eh--?"

While Flandre was still in a state of surprise, Accelerator had already taken action.

He leaped directly to the front of the wall and raised his fist.

Boom——! !

A single, simple blow shattered the entire wall.

However, the inside of the wall is completely solid.

There are no secret passages or other exits leading outside; the only exit is probably the door he came through.

But it was obvious that the remains of those monsters did not drift toward that door, nor should they have suddenly disappeared from the room.

At this point, Accelerator considered another possibility.

'If these guys really think the same way I do—'

A bad thought flashed through his mind.

Even so, he should prioritize dealing with the current emergency.

The first person didn't hesitate and immediately raised his hand, summoning six generators to his side.

However, their form changed into a pure black spike shape.

"You're staying here."

"Hey? Big brother, where are you going?!"

"This has nothing to do with you. What follows is purely my personal business."

Accelerator did not offer much explanation.

He casually raised his hand, and the generator swept a spatial rift in front of him, which he then stepped directly into.

"Ah! Wait a minute—!"

Flandre tried to catch up, but the rift closed up in an instant.

Even for her, if it is something that cannot be seen, she still cannot crush its own "eye".

"Ugh, what's this! I finally met such an interesting older brother, and he just left Fran in the basement without a second thought!"

The blonde girl pouted unhappily and plopped down in the pile of rubble beneath her.

I can no longer sense Accelerator's presence.

The other party has probably already left the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Thinking about this, the vampire girl suddenly realized something in a daze.

After the white-haired human left, her basement returned to its usual deathly silence.

There was no sign of other life; I was all alone, all by myself.

Moreover, everything around it has become a ruin-like environment.

A sense of desolation enveloped her almost instantly.

However, the girl did not feel too sad about it.

"It's just going back to the old state."

After all, she had spent almost all of those 495 years alone.

It was just one human appearing in a single day, and one that was completely unknown to the vampire. It was no big deal to a vampire with such a long lifespan.

but.

Flandre, sitting on the ground, was still thinking about the human she had just met.

"...What exactly did he mean by all that?"

Even until the very end, Accelerator's words were never fully understood.

This puzzled her greatly. How could someone who was just a human being utter words that even she couldn't understand?

The more I think about it, the more my head aches.

"Flan!"

The voice calling out brought Flandre back to her senses.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe only a few minutes.

A voice that was very familiar to her, yet also deeply nostalgic, rang out behind her.

“Onee-sama…?”

Flandre turned her head slowly, as if testing the waters.

The basement door opened, and four figures walked directly inside.

Patchouli, Little Devil, Sakuya Izayoi, and Remilia herself.

"Waaaaah...! Second Miss's room has been vandalized like this?!"

"There is a faint magical aura in the air... It seems that Fran has formed a barrage of magic and launched it."

"Someone broke into the Scarlet Devil Mansion's basement and attacked the Second Miss?"

"Tsk, I can guess who did it just by guessing!"

Remilia spoke with an unhappy expression, but then went to Flandre's side.

"elder sister…"

"Fran, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Did the guy who attacked you get hurt?"

"Um, Fran is alright, and Fran wasn't attacked..."

"You still say you weren't attacked? Look at the state of the room, it's worse than a cemetery..."

Remilia frowned, looking at the scene of the room being completely destroyed, and instinctively thought of the intruder's identity.

That is, the human she had just spoken to not long ago.

"But my older sister... seems to have changed a lot since the last time we met."

"Eh?"

While Remilia was still pondering how to settle accounts with that white-haired human, she was puzzled by her sister's words behind her.

Turning around, he saw a petite girl looking at him with an innocent expression.

"Because, whether it was last time or the time before that, my older sister has never shown such an expression."

"Eh…?"

"My older sister has always spoken to Fran in that commanding and calm manner. Fran isn't blaming her older sister, it's just... well, it's just a sudden feeling..."

The words her younger sister said left Remilia stunned and speechless.

"I feel that compared to the older sister I've seen before, I like this older sister's attitude more this time."

These words, like ripples on a calm lake, lingered in Remilia's heart for a long time.

Compared to Remilia, who has been cold and indifferent to him until now, he definitely prefers Remilia, who is so gentle and caring towards him today.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
