Chapter 589: Otsuki Haruna and Victor Alucard. 3

The meeting ended, and Victor and Haruna signed a contract, cementing the Alliance between the Youkai and the Vampire Nobles and Allies of Clan Alucard.

Yes, they were not allied with all Vampire Clans, only those who had some connection with Clan' Alucard'.

Ground rules had been decided to avoid unnecessary conflicts created with Ruby, Scathach's, and Victor's experience while taking into account Haruna's opinion, of course.

A set of laws were created to maintain order; Haruna and Ruby decided that they would review the laws in the near future, but the 'base' rules were set.

In short, the rules were:

1: Don't harm your allies. Any attempt deemed malicious may be punishable by death or expulsion from the respective Clans.

2: Unforgivable crimes such as Rape, exploitation of minors, experimentation on species, etc., were punishable by death.

3: Conflicts must be resolved immediately by a high-ranking official present. Suppose any of the parties felt unjustified about the conflict. In that case, they can request a new situation assessment which will be immediately handed over to the Faction Leader, and the trusted agents of the Leaders will solve the problem.

Of course, both significant figures in both Factions were aware that there were loopholes in these rules and that, most of the time, they could become useless.

But they didn't care. The goal was to ensure a 'Status Quo' to prevent conflicts.

The reasons the Leaders were so concerned about conflicts were two BIG reasons.

First, Scathach Scarlett was responsible for a genocide a few years ago that also killed many Youkai at the time.

Second, Victor Alucard committed another genocide not long ago...

Yes, teacher and student were greatly feared; consequently, the Vampires under their control were also feared. And that didn't do anything to ensure that the Youkai didn't freak out and do something stupid out of fear.

After all, most of the Youkai currently in Haruna's Faction were recruited after the event related to the Vampire King's daughter.

And the hellish image that Alucard created that day was still alive in everyone's memory.

Despite being an important point, this was an issue that Ruby was not particularly concerned about.

The reason?

She thoroughly believed in her Husband's social capabilities; he was, after all, the man that the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, gave her heart to and provided him with every possible Blessing she could supply.

It could be said that he was a male version of Aphrodite... And the question remained, who was Aphrodite?

She was a Goddess capable of turning enemies into allies simply with her social skills and Charm; she was the definition of a 'social butterfly'.

Ruby fully believed that her Husband had an ability similar to Aphrodite's.

And this was one of the reasons that led to the following discussion.

Taking advantage of the fact that Victor and Haruna would fight anyway, Ruby proposed that this fight be held in a place where all the Youkai could watch.

Despite being scared and afraid, one fact still remained indisputable.

Supernatural Beings loved powerful beings. That was something no one could deny.

And since the two groups were now allies, they had to show how their allies were 'amazing', and by doing so, most of the Youkai's feelings of fear would be eliminated.

This idea was immediately approved by Haruna. 

A fight between the two 'Leaders' of the Alliance would help a lot as propaganda too for the new Youkais to be interested in joining the army that Haruna was building, and it would also help in looking for spies among the Youkai.

Effectively, this action by Victor and Haruna would solve several problems simultaneously, and she was even more excited about this result.

For this goal to be realized, Victor definitely must not show his 'beautiful' smile capable of making a demonic beast piss itself in fear, and he must contain his sadistic, psychotic, manic, and crazy tendencies as much as possible.

"My 'sisters' and I are quite used to how my Husband fights, but we can't deny it's a pretty scary sight."

"Hmm-hmm." Several nods and sounds of agreement were heard from Victor's group.

It was worth mentioning that Victor really didn't know how to react when he heard his own Wife saying these things about him. He was also left speechless when the other women readily agreed with this particular point.

I mean, he knew it was true, but anyway! This is wrong! A Wife shouldn't say that about her Husband!

Victor's eyes when he heard his wife saying these things promised a lot of pain, and it was worth mentioning that this only made Ruby even more excited, and she started talking with more enthusiasm.

"So Darling, definitely don't show your sadistic, sociopathic, psychopathic, psychotic, manic, crazy side! Try to contain yourself as much as possible! Our Alliance depends on you!"

Victor's smile trembled; he felt that she had put more unnecessary adjectives in her description:

"... Fine... I'll do my best."

"Please don't try your best! You always overdo things when you think like that, Darling."

"...."

"Just don't let the 'beast' out of the cage, okay?"

"... Okay..." Victor's eyes flashed even more with a sadistic and dangerous gleam.

Ruby's body shook for a few seconds, and she did her best not to let her smile grow, but her feelings of arousal were deliciously obvious; he didn't even need his connection or being a master of body language to know it.

...Ruby was already on a path of no return...

Not that Victor was complaining or anything. He loved that part of his Wife... The couple's nights were brilliant because they had several fetishes that could be explored due to her eccentric trait.

'If her daughter is like that... She must have inherited it from somewhere, right?' Victor looked sideways at Scathach, and a small smile appeared on his face.

'She already showed signs, but it's not 100% there yet. She still hasn't given herself completely to me because I haven't defeated her...' A feeling of excitement appeared in Victor's heart; he really enjoyed this cat-and-mouse game that Scathach and he played.

Scathach was his Wife? Of course.

But at the same time, she wasn't wholly 'his' because he hadn't defeated her.

Did that mean there was a possibility that Scathach would run away from him?

The answer was, 'that's impossible'. She wouldn't run away from him even if she wanted to; he was 100% sure of that.

Hiding his malicious thoughts to himself, he looked at Haruna:

"About the fight, will you use your personal weapon?"

"... Unlikely, my personal Katana is too..." Searching for the right words within her, she opened her fan and spoke with a dangerous glint in her eye, "Arrogant."

The group raised an eyebrow at this choice of words:

"Once I remove the Katana from its sheath, only death awaits my opponent; having a special blade as a personal weapon has its difficulties." She gave a small sigh behind her fan.

"Very well, in that case, I won't be using my Junketsu either."

"Junketsu?"

Victor displayed a slight smile, "My personal weapon, you must have seen it that day."

"…Oh." Remembering that blade that was too big to be called an Odachi and had a handle similar to a Katana, she understood why he couldn't use that blade.

'But... Purity, huh? Interesting name choice for a Progenitor's blade.'

"I'm sure not using 'Junketsu' won't hurt your performance, right~?" Haruna asked.

"My Mastery of Odachi and Greatsword Arts is expert level, I'm not a Master yet, but my performance won't be hindered by not being able to use my personal weapon."

Haruna's eyes opened slightly in shock. 'Expert level... This is amazing; he's only one level below me.'

Haruna was a Master of Katana Arts, which was understandable due to her extraordinary talent, potential, and dedication to Kenjutsu.

"Do not be humble, stupid disciple. Reaching Expert level at such a young age is quite an achievement; you're only 24, you know?"

'I'm 23, Master… That's if you count the time I spent in the human world.' Victor thought, but he didn't speak aloud. He knew his Master would be upset; she was a woman who didn't worry about minor details like that.

Victor sulked, "You're Grandmaster level, Master. Not to mention you're a Master level in almost every weapon."

Haruna, Genji, and Yoichi gasped a bit at this information.

The three couldn't help but stare at Scathach as if she were a monster, Master level in almost every weapon? Huh? This is a joke, right?

The fact that she was Grandmaster in a specific weapon was not shocking; after all, everyone knew how old the woman was, but... Master of almost all weapons!?

'This is just Bullshit.' Genji and Yoichi thought at the same time.

"I had two millennia to dedicate myself to Spearmenship and other areas, stupid disciple," she grunted in annoyance.

"Even I would be disheartened if you reached my level in such a short time." She pouted.

'Seriously, isn't this woman very adorable?' Victor's heart melted at this adorable and rare sight.

"… Hmm, can I ask you a question?" Yoichi butted in on the conversation.

The group looked at Yoichi.

"Go on, Lord Yoichi," Ruby spoke in her usual cold tone.

Yoichi nodded his head, "Do you speak as if to indicate that Victor-Dono only started his training just a few years ago?"

"Oh… That's true. In fact, he wasn't even a Noble Vampire before."

"Huh?"

"I mean, he was a human before, and due to certain circumstances, he became a Noble Vampire."

"…HUH!?" This time not only Yoichi, but Genji also joined.

Haruna blinked three times and took a deep breath, trying to process what she had just heard. The Fox's mind worked in overdrive, she put together the information she had just learned and the first information about Victor's appearances in Nightingale, and suddenly everything made sense...

But that was not to say she wasn't any less shocked.

"…H-How…" Controlling her emotions, she continued, "How is this possible? How did you go from being a normal human to being The Second Progenitor of Vampires and being able to challenge Vampire Counts in less than a decade?"

'Actually, how was he not turned into a Slave Vampire? After all, he was a human!'

Even though she wanted to try to control herself, it was just too unbelievable; the man's situation was too bizarre.

"The Anomaly... That's what my beloved Master once called me." Victor looked at Scathach in amusement.

"And can you blame me? You appear out of nowhere, step on the common sense of a society with more than 2 millennia of existence, and act as if this is commonplace!" A smug smile appeared on Scathach's face, and then she added:

"Isn't that amazing!? I don't doubt that in less than 500 years, you'll be on my level of power or might even surpass me; I can't wait!" She thought with a dreamy look as if she had already imagined their future fight.

With a gentle smile, he thought in amusement: 'I won't wait for 500 years, my Master... Thanks to my beloved Roxanne, I may have a way to shorten that time even further.' He had no intention of letting this woman wait that long; he was going to defeat her, put a child in her oven, and make her completely his.

He wouldn't be Victor if he didn't.

"... Not even a genius progresses that fast and calling him a monster is just an insult to monsters themselves... Anomaly is a pretty accurate term for this man's existence..." Yoichi commented with a tired sigh; it was as if all of his perception of the world had now broken.

Genji and the women in Victor's group just nodded in agreement with the old Kitsune.

[As expected of my Master!] Bruna was proud as if the achievement was hers, a feeling all Maids shared.

Victor just scratched his face a little; he never really thought about it much. After all, his goal was the woman next to him.

Only now did he feel firsthand how he broke common sense.

"... Leaving Victor-dono's prowess aside, my subordinates and I will prepare the Arena and make all necessary preparations."

"I anticipate everything will be ready in three hours; please use that time as you see fit, but I ask that you stay away from prohibited areas."

"Of course, we don't want to break the trust of our allies," Ruby replied with a small smile,

A smile Haruna returned from behind her fan, then she closed her fan and spoke with a neutral face:

"The meeting is over; see you in three hours, Victor-Dono."

"Mm, I will be meditating in my quarters."

[Good idea, Master! You have to get your inner world in order; this place has gotten completely messed up with the ridiculous amount of Souls we've consumed!] Roxanne perked up.
