Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

So, the time came to the afternoon.

Lixiang is currently staying in the kitchen, and Fufu is lying on top of her head.After all, everyone didn't eat all night and morning, so she was planning to cook.

She's cooking curry, and Matthew and Heyer are helping her in the kitchen.While cutting the ingredients, Lixiang also briefly explained to Xier the various things he had experienced so far.

"...Hmm, that means you're working in Chaldea now—by the way, that way of getting hired is a complete scam, right?"

Roman and Matthew on the virtual screen bowed their heads deeply.

[Yes... as you said, we are already reflecting. ]

"Black-hearted companies make excuses like this. I am very clear. After all, no matter the church or the burial organization, they are all black-hearted companies."

[...You are right... Did you say something outrageous just now? ]

"So..." Xier put the cut potatoes aside and looked at Lixiang, "If you are so poor that you will be cheated by black-hearted companies, then come to me. I will help, no matter what time it is."

"I resigned because I felt that I was holding back. How could I bother you, senior... That being said, in fact, I might just be afraid."

"...I really have a relationship with the troublesome junior."

"If you can't speak well, Senior Xier, you are half a catty. At best, we are divided into groups."

Saying so, Tachika changed places with Mash in order to further process the ingredients.

So, the person talking to Xier was replaced by Mash again.

"Senior's senior..."

"What kind of strange name is that...although there seems to be no problem."

"Well, the senior's senior said that he is the guardian of the senior. Could it be that he is a legal mother or something? It's like the plots in many novels."

Li Xiang couldn't help covering her mouth and turning her head, coughing to hold back her laughter.Xier also froze for a moment, and almost cut the kitchen knife in his hand.

"...Being called a mother before getting married feels like being told [You can't find a boyfriend]."

"It was impossible."

Lixiang interrupted at this moment and said,

"Dead people can't win. Senior Xier, you should give up Shiki Tohno or something. He is taking the Princess Line TE, you are absolutely and completely useless."

"...A guy like Erquite, a guy like Erquite!!"

Xier muttered softly, and frantically chopped up the carrots.

That's what she said, but she still seems to be controlling her efforts.After all, when she was still alive, she could punch a fifty-ton fist, and the current strength of the servant will not be so weak.

"So, who is the guardian?"

"... I have basically lived with her since I was rescued by Senior Heyer at the age of five. If I insist on replacing her, it should be the same role as my sister?"

"Speaking of which, it's five years old..."

Putting the unexpectedly perfectly chopped radish aside, Sier showed a soft smile,

"When you suddenly said that you were going to resign, I was actually very happy—you lost your family because of the Dead Apostles when you were only five years old, and you have been staying in places like the Holy Church to fight vampires for more than ten years. Let the heart hurt. This is not the life you should live, I thought [if I leave the church, maybe this child will become happy] or something."

Xier sighed helplessly,

"In the end, I left the church and joined Chaldea, and after escaping from a black-hearted enterprise, I entered a new black-hearted enterprise... What kind of hell joke is this."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Matthew next to her.

"The only thing that comforts me is that [not all bad things] happened to you."

"So, senior Xier, how did you become [Van Helsing]?"

"Well, how should I put it... I seemed to be eating curry at first? But suddenly my eyes went dark. I met an invisible uncle in a dark place, and then I realized that the world had been burned. Then..."

□A long time ago·? ? ?

"I'm Abraham Van Helsing, the most famous vampire hunter in the world... the phantom who should be called so."

At the intersection of the Seat of Heroes and the present world, the phantom that appeared in front of Xier said so.

"Girl, I called you here to ask for your help... Before that, please tell me your name."

"Hmm... just call me Sier."

After thinking about it, Xier simply said his baptismal name.

"So, why am I here? I should be... right! Curry! It's a limited edition that I finally bought! Although it's not as good as that kid's cooking skills."

"If you think it's necessary, then just continue to maintain this attitude and be vigilant. As for Curry—do you know about [Humanity Burning]?"

"……what is that?"

"Then let me explain briefly..."

As he said that, Van Helsing explained the burning of manpower in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and then concluded like this,

"In other words, both you and your curry are burned."

"—Okay, if you have a chance, kill that Solomon who defiled Curry!"

"...Well, it's good to have fighting spirit...it's good."

"So, are you the legendary [Boundary Recording Tape (Heroic Spirit)] that has never been observed except for the one in Fuyuki City? That is to say, Van Helsing is not a character in the novel?"

"No, I'm a fictional character that human beings think, so I'm a [Phantom]. Although even a fictional character can be summoned as a real servant as long as they have enough popularity, Van Helsing's popularity is completely inferior to that of Germany. Gula—that's why I came to you for help."

"...According to what you said, I'm already dead, right? If that's the case, how can I help you?"

"Humanism has been destroyed, but - there are still people fighting."

When Van Helsing said this, he uttered a name that Sear was very familiar with.

"Chaldea belongs to [Fujimaru Tachika], who may be the last master of human beings. She is still fighting. She will encounter a [vampire] next, so I need me, a vampire hunter. But I can't be summoned , so I need you to answer the call instead of me. I will give you my Noble Phantasm, Spirit Base, and abilities—everything, and I hope you can help that Master instead of me."

"...if it's to help that child."

Ciel held out her hand to Van Helsing,

"Even if I don't get paid, I will go... It's great that the child is still alive."

"Then you are [Van Helsing] from now on."

Van Helsing took Sierre's hand back.

"—Then, I was summoned to this singularity as Van Helsing."

After telling everyone the story he told Lixiang and Matthew in the kitchen, Xier, who still had curry on his mouth, raised the plate in his hand to Lixiang.

"One more, Master."

——Just to explain briefly, Xier signed a temporary contract with Tachika just now.

"...Senior Xier, you definitely did it on purpose."

With a helpless wry smile, Lixiang took Xier's plate and filled her with another curry.

"Yeah, it feels like I've been reborn. Ahh, I wonder how I survived without Tatsuka's curry."

"Eh... No matter how you say it, it's not so exaggerated, right?"

Putting the spoon in his mouth with a happy expression, Heyer continued to tell about his experience after being summoned as Van Helsing.

"After that, I kept killing vampires everywhere because I came early. Although I tried to spread the information about vampire hunters, I don't know why the rumors can't be dispelled... When you came to this singularity, Tachika I knew it, huh? But I couldn't find anyone until last night, when I suddenly had a bad feeling and I found that pumpkin head with Van Helsing's ability..."

Speaking of this, Xier suddenly stopped the spoon in his hand.

"...By the way, I have a bad premonition. No matter how I say it, that pumpkin head doesn't make me feel bad. Where is the source of this premonition?"

While Xier was talking to himself in a low voice, the Second Emperor was also thinking about something with his head down.When Xier was about to continue eating curry, he suddenly asked, "Excuse me, how did you lock the vampire?"

"Rely on [rumors]? There are so many rumors, as long as you go to the place where the rumors happened and wait until the movie time starts, you can find most of them."

"most?"

"Sometimes I'm unlucky, and I can't find the Dead Apostles when I go...but many of them can find the Dead Apostles hidden in the shadow time after waiting for a while, so maybe I just didn't meet them ? Although it was rare before, but recently I have encountered many vampires that appeared outside the movie time... This city is really full of disasters."

"--This is it!!"

The second stood up suddenly, so frightened that Xier almost dropped the plate in his hand to the ground.

"That's right, everything makes sense in this case... But I have to verify it. Yes, verify it. I can't do it alone, and you can help."

With that said, the Second King ran to his office.Seeing him in such a hurry, Roman asked curiously,

[Second, what happened? ]

"We've been getting it wrong... No, we've been [reversing it] all the time! The order of things, we've been getting it upside down! Here, this city, is not a [Vampire City] at all!!"

22. The City of Dreams and Shadows Come True

■Detective agency · office

After hearing what Heyer said, the Second King who didn't know what he thought of hurriedly ran to his office.

Everyone followed up subconsciously, and then saw II throw away the pile of rumor case files that had been resolved or confirmed to be true, and collected Kai back and confirmed the rumors that were not true at all. The case was turned over.

"Master, is there anything we can do for you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, we are moving fast. I need to find a specific rumor from this pile of rumors. This rumor should have these characteristics-enough to cover all of London and cause enough movement. , and the difficulty of falsification, that is, the difficulty of [confirming that it is false] is the highest."

After saying this, II immediately buried himself in the search.Judging by his posture, it is impossible to expect him to answer questions in a short time.

Therefore, everyone also devoted themselves to helping him find that specific rumor.

"Not easily falsified...underground railroad or sewer?"

Li Xiang said to himself.

It is said that if the underground space of London is pulled into a straight line, it can even circle the earth.Such a vast space is compressed underground in London, and if there is anything hidden in it, it may not be discovered-in other words, no one can guarantee that there is nothing underground.

Everyone heard Lixiang's words, so they began to find rumors related to "Underground" according to this train of thought.

"How about this? Rumors of [there is a secret base of mysterious invaders hidden underground in London, and the entrance is protected by a mysterious light]."

"Although it is indeed difficult to prove the falsification, it will not have any impact on London, right? [Underground full of dead and ghosts, the dead will sneak out at night to scare people, as evidenced by the glowing cemetery] or something."

Gray flinched subconsciously.

Although it is a bit unbelievable, in short, this child is actually afraid of ghosts.

"It's just that the scary dead are too gentle, and since they're secretly scaring people, how can they cause a big commotion? [Ghost train in the underground railway]...Impossible, then [The vampire in the sewer]...No one will come out The description of [Hell Corps Returning from the Future]...so the First World War in 1888 hasn’t been fought yet.”

Lixiang kept finding rumors that seemed to meet the requirements of the second emperor, and then discarded them.Although several of the requirements put forward by the Second Emperor are very common ones, there are surprisingly few [rumors] that meet all the requirements at the same time.

Kai on the side showed a surprised expression when he turned the rumors.

"Unexpectedly, the legend of that idiot sister can be passed down to this day and has not disappeared..."

It seems that he has found underground rumors related to Artoria.

"[The reason why Holmes suddenly disappeared is actually because he was involved in a case related to the evil god]... Ah, this rumor has nothing to do with the underground."

Seeing the name Holmes, Matthew picked up the piece of paper, but then she realized that the case had nothing to do with Holmes and threw the piece of paper aside.

"[There is a huge labyrinth hidden underground in London, and it is said that the end leads to the world of fairies]. Mr. II, this rumor—"

"That's not a rumor."

"Eh?"

"There is a labyrinth leading to the fairyland underground in London. I have been there. Although I am a little concerned about who spread the news, but that kind of thing is not important now."

"Then, how about this?" Hier took out a piece of paper and said, "[Pig in the sewer]. Although it is a slightly outrageous rumor, it perfectly meets your requirements, El-Melloi."

"Please add II, let me see—"

The second took a look at the document Xier took out.

Pigs in the sewers, Kai still has a little impression of this rumor.Why, because that was the last rumor he picked up before Spring Heeled Jack's serial killings started.

The content of the rumor is very simple. It is said that there is a herd of pigs in the sewers. They will suddenly emerge from the sewers one day and have the power to pollute the whole of London.

"...Ah, this is indeed the most suitable."

Second nodded.

"Then let's go."
