Chapter 468: An Unexpected Meeting.
Waking up from his sleep, Victor, contrary to what he expected, had a strange face.
'What happened?' He had a strange expression on his face.
Ignoring the fact that he was sleeping in a bed covered in female bodies, it's not like it's the first time, right?
He started to fall into his thoughts.
'Persephone's change was abrupt, after a long time or not, a goddess like her doesn't change very easily.'
Yes, Persephone is spoiled, and thinks that everything in the world should be at her disposal.
A common thought for any arrogant god, and she wasn't just a goddess, she was their queen.
Well... At least from one group.
Her arrogance is understood.
But...
'This change was not.'
Thinking back to the encounter and trying to understand what happened to Adonis' memories, Victor still couldn't understand anything.
The only thing he could think about was that Aphrodite had said something to Persephone and by some divine miracle, Persephone had decided to listen to her.
Which is something that doesn't happen, Adonis' memories were very clear, the goddesses always teased each other, and he had a hate/rival relationship.
'Something has changed...' And Victor didn't like that at all.
Thinking back to what had happened, he thought about the important parts while ignoring Persephone's changes for now.
'Something happened in the Greek underworld...' She was very clear on that, she had to take on the 'responsibilities' after a long time.
Which implied that the King of the Underworld was not present, and if Hades was not present in the Underworld, that means something very wrong is happening behind the scenes.
'... I do not like this.' Victor felt an irritation in his neck, it was an irritating sensation when he felt that something was not in control.
Even with his and Ruby's activities, they couldn't delve deeply into the 'darkness'.
And there's the case that happened to his family too, someone was targeting Victor.
And Victor didn't know who he was, after all, many people could act against him, but the only people who had enough resources to work that way in the dark were.
Niklaus Horseman, and General James.
The former is missing after the events of his wife Natashia and the man himself.
The other is busy with the demon invasion.
But it could also be someone else, for God's sake even the witch queen was a suspect, after all, he killed many witches involved in the Ophis incident.
It wouldn't be strange for him to have a lot of enemies now.
You don't kill 50% of a supernatural population in a country, and you run out of enemies.
'Something stinks, and it's not the ass in front of me.' Victor turned his head down and saw a pair of black panties, looking at the dark green hair spilling down his arm, the only person he could think of was Alexa. [A/N: Alexa's hair is dark green, at some point if I said black, I apologize.]
The Spear user of the Valkyries group.
Ignoring the ass in front of him, he returned to his thoughts:
'I need to increase the individuals who know about my and Ruby's plan, I should include more participation and resources from Violet, Sasha, Natashia, Scathach and possibly even Aphrodite.' Victor couldn't deny it, Aphrodite was just too helpful.
Aphrodite was an ancient goddess, and she has many contacts, she's been alive so long that she understands most plots, and plans with just a glance, she's a very welcome help.
'No wonder Ruby was so adamant about putting her in the plan.'
Victor understood that part, but if there's one thing he can be considered a weakness depending on your point of view, it's that he's very overprotective.
Because of this the opinion of someone like Ruby is always needed, she is cold most of the time.
And Victor knows that Ruby also trusts him to act this way, she has complete confidence that if anything goes wrong, Victor and Scathach would be her ultimate defenders.
They are very similar for a reason.
Stopping his thoughts when he felt someone moving, he looked to the side and saw Eleanor's face using her arms as pillows.
He looked away and saw Anrietha's face.
'Where do they put these sleepwear...? I didn't see any suitcase that could hold clothes. Did they get the dimensional bag that Alexios made?' Victor stops thinking, and very carefully with a mastery that even the famous contortionists would envy, he begins to leave the group of Valkyries.
Long ago, Victor got used to stepping out of the bodies of women he slept with without waking them all up.
After all, if it wasn't his wives or the mother of his wives, it was his Maids who were always around, he always slept with someone.
...
"Did you sleep well?" Rose spoke without turning around.
"Yes." Victor spoke while looking at the woman with long burgundy hair, he walks beside her, and asks:
"Watching?"
"Yes." A brief reply followed by an explanation:
"Girls need to rest, and so do you. As I was the one who didn't make much effort, I kept watch."
"i see..." Victor sits next to her.
"...." Rose raised her eyebrow as she looked at Victor and saw what he was doing.
Victor unfolded the bag he took from the pocket of his leg armor before climbing onto the roof, soon the bag takes on the appearance of a normal brown leather bag.
He puts his whole hand in the bag, and acts like he's looking for something.
"I found." Victor takes his hand away and a change of clothes appears in his hand.
He was still only in his underwear, and he didn't want to wear broken armor, he had spare armor, but it's not made to measure like the one Eleanor gave him broke with her transformation power.
Putting on the black pants, and wearing a white shirt with black details with a small print on the chest with the name of a famous sportswear brand.
Reaching into the bag again, he pulls out a pair of plain sneakers.
He folds the bag carefully again, and puts it in the pocket of her black pants. After that, he starts putting on his outfit.
"…should I ask you what I just saw?"
"Hmm?" Victor looked at Rose as he pulled on his shirt, with that simple comment, he realized that girls didn't have the dimensional bag yet.
"It's not a big deal, it's just something new that Clan Alioth is working on, I call it a dimensional bag."
"Dimensional bag...?" Rose blinked when she heard the strange name.
"Mm." Victor nodded as he started to put on his shoes.
'Although I'm calling it dimensional bag, that's not the official name, I just call it for convenience... Hmm, it's at those times that I miss Kaguya, she can change clothes quite quickly.'
"...." Understanding that he didn't want to reveal too much due to their current situation, Rose said:
"I assume this will be distributed to vampire earl families?"
"Yes... It will probably come with a price too." Victor spoke.
'The amount I spent to buy 4 suitcases for my Clan, and my wives' Clans, adding the other small bags that were delivered to my Maids, and the new bags that I ordered, the price was something absurd, despite not having hurt so much in my pocket because I barely use my money...'
Even though his source of income dried up due to the information he sold to Selene no longer being useful, he still had a lot of money he got from that deal.
'Soon everyone in my family will have this item, but... I should talk to Alexios about countermeasures in case the bag is stolen by a third party.'
"I don't care, this item is very important for expeditions." Rose could immediately see the item's advantages.
"…Mmm." Victor agreed too.
Finishing dressing, he gets up on the roof, and raises his hand to the side, soon the sound of wind cutting is heard and an Odachi fell into his hand.
Victor caresses his Odachi a little, and no matter how many times he sees this blade, he can't help but think that this blade was too big for a normal human to use.
The Odachi looked like a Katana, but with a very large blade.
He holds the Odachi by the hilt, and raises his blade to stand behind him.
"A very…strange weapon indeed."
