Chapter 1027: -1014- Demons at my house?
"Hey, here you go."
Buying two bottles of cold drinks from the vending machine at the rooftop garden, Rozen handed one of the bottles to Avrora, who was sitting on the bench.
"Sniff..."
Avrora, who had stopped crying, timidly took the cold drink and then looked slightly surprised. She curiously held the cold drink and even pressed it against her face, showing a slight improvement in mood.
"What's up? Do you really like cold drinks?"
Seeing Avrora's reaction, Rozen asked.
With a somewhat relaxed expression on her face, Avrora hesitantly answered.
"The cold's protection allows me to feel empowered."
Hmm, so this girl likes things with ice?
That seems quite reasonable, considering that Avrora possess the beast vessel of ice.
"In that case, you might unexpectedly like Itogami City."
Rozen thought so.
As an artificial island with eternal summer, Itogami Island has various research institutions, followed by a thriving culinary scene, especially with ice-based dishes and snacks being particularly important and popular here. For Avrora, it should be enjoyable, right?
Of course, at the moment, Avrora is still an inexperienced vampire girl, her gaze wandering around, looking at the entire green garden. Her blue eyes occasionally sparkled, and she even exclaimed when she saw the distant sea view and the sky, appearing as if she had found a paradise, which was quite adorable.
However, when one thinks that Avrora behaves like this because she has been sealed for who knows how many years and has slept in an underground tomb for who knows how many years, those who know about it would feel heavy-hearted, right?
Rozen slightly composed himself and questioned Avrora.
"Alright, now tell me, why did you leave home without permission and come here?"
Rozen's relentless questioning made Avrora withdraw her curious gaze, becoming timid and nervous again.
However, Avrora still truthfully answered Rozen's question.
"That place is a demon's den."
Avrora said so.
"What?"
Rozen was not surprised.
"There... there are vile dirty demons inside!"
Avrora continued to explain nervously, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Vile dirty demons...?"
Rozen was completely puzzled, almost hanging a question mark above his head.
Even if one were clever, hearing Avrora's explanation would still be baffling, right?
In short, Avrora wanted to express that there is a vile demon at home, so that place is a demon's den, and she had to run away, right?
"How can there be demons at my home?"
Could it be that Natsuki-nee suddenly came back, collided with Avrora, and did something to her?
Given Natsuki-nee's domineering personality, if she found out that the matrices of the Fourth Primogenitor appeared at her home, it was possible that she might do something.
However, although Natsuki appears to be domineering, she is actually very considerate. She is not only strict and indulgent towards Rozen, but she also helps people in need, especially her students. Once a problem arises, Natsuki will definitely not stand idly by.
In the past, in the Demon Sanctuary in Gozo, although Natsuki forcefully brought Avrora and Nagisa back to Itogami Island to prevent disputes surrounding the Fourth Primogenitor and to be vigilant against the harm it could cause, bringing Nagisa to Itogami Island might have its reasons related to the spirit within her. Bringing Nagisa to Itogami Island for treatment was also her purpose.
Otherwise, Natsuki wouldn't have agreed to bring Kojou along to Itogami Island just to fulfill his wish.
So, upon seeing Avrora, Natsuki might be surprised and might take action against Avrora from her position as a state attack mage, but she definitely wouldn't persecute Avrora, right?
Not to mention...
"Is Natsuki-nee dirty...?"
Rozen couldn't help but imagine a dirty Natsuki-nee in his mind...
"Uh...!"
The next moment, Rozen quickly covered his nose.
"—!"
This seemed to startle Avrora, who let out a small cry.
"It's... it's okay!"
Rozen quickly reassured Avrora, even shaking his head to clear his mind of impure thoughts and calm down.
"I understand why you left home."
At that moment, Rozen tried to change the subject.
"But how did you manage to find your way here?"
You see, Avrora just woke up and doesn't even know where she is. How could she find her way here?
Her beast vassal shouldn't have that ability, right?
Just as Rozen was thinking this...
"Smell..."
Avrora muttered softly.
"Smell?"
Rozen was once again dumbfounded.
"Your scent is on this offering."
Avrora pointed to her coat.
"...You don't mean you followed my scent here, do you?"
Rozen's eyebrow twitched.
"That... that's correct."
Avrora affirmed timidly.
"Are you an animal?"
Rozen couldn't help but tease.
Using scent to find someone, even beastmen couldn't do that, right?
Itogami City is densely populated, and with various smells like smoke and sweat, unless the person is nearby or leaves a strong scent on something, even beastmen wouldn't be able to precisely locate someone by scent.
And Avrora is a vampire.
Vampires finding people by scent, isn't that unheard of in history?
"Never mind."
Rozen rubbed his temples and looked at Avrora.
"Now that you're here, I can't just send you back like this. Luckily, you didn't cause any commotion on the way here... Did you really not cause any commotion?"
Speaking of which, Rozen began to doubt.
Avrora's appearance is dreamy and beautiful like a fairy, with a beauty that seems to exist only in dreams. Such a person wearing only a boy's uniform, running around bare-legged and barefoot on the road, wouldn't that cause a commotion?
As it turned out, Rozen's suspicion was correct.
"There... there were suspicious individuals attempting to attack me, and the people in the Demon Sanctuary also cast evil glances at me. I just acted to punish them."
Avrora weakly replied, making Rozen feel even worse.
Rozen took out his phone and checked online.
As soon as he checked, Rozen immediately saw the latest news report.
"Unidentified freezing phenomenon appears again in the southern area, only affecting a small group of people, but the Management Cooperative of the artificial island highly values it. In order to prevent disasters like those in the northern area, they have begun to evacuate people and issued warnings. Citizens, please be careful. If you notice any abnormal phenomena, report to the Management Cooperative as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Rozen looked up at the sky and sighed heavily in front of Avrora, who looked anxious as if she had done something wrong.
The future is indeed unsettling.
