Vampires exist in books, shows, and movies… BUT IN NEW ERIDU?!
Ellen Joe discovers her quiet classmate Phaga isn’t just reserved—he’s a vampire looking for a job!
Between school...
Whether Fagia omitted anything from his account or not, Lina will have to wait until the next day!
And Faga can call Ling tonight to coordinate their statements... Pshaw!
This is called recalling what happened and reliving the time of cooperation.
Although it's not good to disturb someone's rest in the middle of the night, you can pay them!
With the cyber monster (Note 1) that the rope craftsman keeps at home, Ling couldn't be happier if someone called her every day to deliver money.
With this thought in mind, Fagga gradually loosened his grip on Lina's phone, straightening his back more and more.
So, Lina, you're at a loss for what to do, aren't you?
"Hmm...that makes sense."
Lina gently tapped her chin with her phone, her eyes filled with delight as she looked at Fagga.
With such eloquence, no wonder she won over our little shark so quickly.
but...!
Pat pat pat...
Fagga's eyes gradually shifted from excitement to suspicion, and finally to a slight tremor.
It wasn't until Lina's fingers tapped the phone eleven times (Note 2) that Faga completely panicked, but her face still held hope as she tried to remain calm, and she asked softly:
"Lina, what are you doing...?"
"Oh, give Miss Rope Maker a call. Let her know you're back and that you're safe so she won't worry."
"We already let them know we were safe when we were at the door... and it's the middle of the night, it's not good to disturb their rest."
"Oh, it's alright. I'll compensate Miss Ropemaker."
I will compensate Miss Ropewright...
I will compensate Miss Ropewright...
I will compensate Miss Ropewright...
Fagar was taken aback.
Fagga suddenly looked up, his heart swung into an unruly outer ring, racing wildly across the desolate Gobi Desert, screaming hysterically.
Hey! Isn't this the solution I came up with?
Fagar's eyes widened instantly, and he wanted to step forward to snatch Lina's phone, but Lina anticipated his move and lightly touched her brow with her slender fingers, which emitted a blue glow.
Lina tilted her head slightly, her smile as warm as spring sunshine, capable of melting even the deepest ice and snow.
"Don't move, or you'll get burned!"
Fagga shrugged and surrendered with his hands raised, though he smiled on the surface, he was inwardly wailing.
That's it!
The fact that I skipped class can't be kept secret anymore!
Ding-dong!
Finally, the telephone, a symbol of death knell, has stopped ringing. In the not-too-distant future, the judgment of fate will come from the other end of the line, recounting the sins of Fagga and Ellen.
"Hey, is that Fagga and the others back?"
The phone rang, and both Fagga and Ellen suffered cardiac arrest and broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh no, it's all over, we're going to be purged... Wait, the voice that just spoke was a man.
And it looks very familiar, it seems like...
Fagar and Ellen exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
It's Lykan!
Lina didn't call the store manager!
Both men looked surprised, but without exception, they both showed relief at surviving a disaster.
Seeing this, Lina smiled slightly and said, "Yes, they're back. Are you ready?"
"certainly!"
Bang!
As soon as Lykan's voice fell on the other end of the phone, the entire Victoria Housekeeping facility instantly lit up with warm yellow lights.
Fagga and Ellen's eyes widened instantly, their faces turning serious as they stared at the banner overhead, which shone brightly with the lights. It read:
[Victoria's victory celebration!]
Glug glug!
Suddenly, another continuous sound of rolling wheels came from the kitchen.
Fagar and Ellen looked over and saw Lycan and Corinne pushing a large cake out of the kitchen.
Clara, holding the black and white doll, said joyfully, "Celebrating Mr. Fagar's victory over Black Fagar and winning 94 million in compensation! Victory celebration! Yay!"
