After the battle with Alice, Yuna still under the influence of ⌈ Disguise ⌋,  headed to the next town accompanied by the children. When she arrived with the children, the landscape in front of her was sublime, the appearance of the city strongly resembled the designs of her country. The only difference was that on top of the city walls, a great numbers of cannons protruded very slightly. When she looked up she saw several flags with different emblems, but none of them had the emblem she despised from the bottom of her heart. Relieved, she headed for the city gate as promised. Not surprisingly, at the entrance to the city, a large number of merchants, adventurers and travelers were gathered at the city gates.  Having neither identification card nor money it was impossible for her to enter the city. The line was long but she stayed with the children until the end.

As she approached the entrance, she started a conversation with the guards. This discussion lasted for several minutes, but unfortunately the discussion ended abruptly, the guard categorically refused to let Yuna enter the city. He said, "Again, I'm sorry. I can't let you in. I thank you for helping these children, but the war is near and the lord of this city does not allow us to let anyone in. If I had my way, without hesitation I would have let you through. If you wish, I will take care of the children for you and help them find their parents, trust me.

Yuna replied, "Very well. Thank you very much, take good care of the children. I'm counting on you."          

Directing her gaze to the children accompanying her, she said. 

"I'm sorry, I can't go to town with you... I have no money and no identification card. You all go first ! I'll find a way to get into town ! Trust me ! I'm sure the guards will let you in as long as you have your ID card."

A little girl approached her crying and said, "No ! I don't want to !" then hugged Yuna tighly. The other children joined her, their hearts was heavy.  

"I have no choice, I'm so sorry... Be courageous ! The guards will help you, don't worry." then gently pushed them like a mother towards the guard and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Further down the path, Yuna followed the road without a direction in mind.

Sighing, Yuna said, "What do I do now... This complicates things."

Deep in thought, Yuna didn't even notice someone shouting her name in the distance and walked straight ahead. With no response, the figure tapped Yuna on the shoulder and because of that she was startled. By reflex, Yuna sent her fist right into the face of the figure who flew away a few meters away, unconscious. Later, realizing what she had just done, Yuna ran towards her victim to make sure that everything was okay. To her surprise, the person who had passed out turned out to be Alice, the vampire she had met earlier.

"Alice?!"

"uuuuuu..."

"Sorry! You scare me! Are you okay ?"

"uu..."

"AAAHHH !!!!! She is dying !!! I need to do something right now! Think, think, think! I know! She is a vampire right ? Then with my blood she may heal herself right away!"

Making a cut on her arm, Yuna let her blood drip over Alice's mouth and forced her to drink. As the scarlet liquid hit Alice's taste buds a strange light enveloped her body. A few minutes later, the light began to fade to the point where it dispersed completely. 

" ? "

" ??? "

"Did she really evolve with my blood only?!"

⌈ You successfully turn a pure-blood vampire into a holy and dark being. ⌋ 

⌈ Title gained, Holy and Dark Being Creator. This title make you more attractive towards the holy and dark being. ⌋ 

At the same time, Alice stood up. Confused, Alice asked herself,

"Am I dead? I don't remember exactly what happened... Am I in heaven?" a few seconds later, after this retrospection Alice heard the clear and charming voice of a woman apologizing for almost killing her. Directing her gaze to where the sound was coming from, her eyes glazed over.   

"So I'm really dead..."

" ??? "

"Are you Kami-sama ? Will I be reincarnated in another world as the legends say?"

"Wait, Alice! What are you saying? I am not a goddess!"

"Impossible. Your beauty is immeasurable. Even a woman like me has fallen in love with it."

After several minutes of argumentation leading to nothing, Alice finally managed to calm down.

"Have you understood now? "

Alice nodded but did not take her eyes off Yuna.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to put you at the death door. Would you like something in return? I'll give you anything you want. I swear." 

After hearing these words Alice's eyes lit up and she answered excitedly.

"Marr... um... Please, let me join you during this journey until the end!"

"Join me? I'm sorry, but I can't accept this request. This adventure is my business and no one else's." 

"You said you would give me what I want ! I at least have the right to join you! You almost killed me I'll have you know, I deserve at least that ! "

"It's true bu..."

"There is no but! I'm joining you, that's all. Besides I could be useful to you, you'll see! Like that, I could one day maybe make you mine or you make me yours ? "

"Very well, as you wish..."

"Now that all of this is settled, let's really introduce ourselves. We only know each other through Mary but now that we'll be a team it would be better to know what each of us can do."

"You're right."

"I'll start by introducing myself, my name is Alice Bloodstance and I'm a vampire. I am proficient with almost any weapon that has a blade, but I prefer to use my scythe. If necessary I can also use magic, plus anything that is related to blood is my domain. We can say that I am a magical assassin ? I think ?"

"And my name is Yuna Moritoma, I am a half-wolf. I have mastered the bow and the short sword and I have Mystical Archer as my class. This means that I can assure your back at a very long distance while inflicting all kinds of afflictions."

"Wait, what did you say ? Mystical Archer ? Like the hero of the Ancient Age ?"

"Yes? "

"Oh god... You are really something. First, you literally destroyed me in a singulary duel, second you send me at the foot of the death door and third you are an Mystical Archer?! Are you kidding ?"

"No ?"

"I don't need your answer ! It was a rhetorical question!"

"Sorry..."

She sighs and says, "Forget it, let's go in the town!"

"Wait Alice! I cannot enter the town! I don't have any ID Card or money!"

In a flashing step Alice close the gap between her and Yuna. One step away to finally get close to her ear, she whispers in a really seductive voice.

"Ara ara, did you perhaps don't believe in your big sister! Y~ u~ n ~ a~ ?

"Hiii ~! What are you doing ? Don't you know that my ears are really sensitive ?! " 

"Fufufu, I just return a favor." she said with a smile and departed.

"Let's forget about that Yuna! Just follow me !"

 

Sorry for the delay... I wasn't really inspired until today ! I hope that this will  not repeat again.  See you next time !
