Chapter 459 - Meeting The Vampires Once More!
-----
As Frank and his group walked to the Vampire territory, Frank began to ask a few questions regarding them that he always wondered about.
"How do they even recruit new members if they don't hunt anymore? And if they're so secret, how can someone approach them to become a Vampire?" wondered Frank.
"Oh, people do show there from time to time, the Underground does know about them, and only people from there are allowed to enter their Clan. And only after a very rigorous test where they test these people's business and fighting capabilities… At minimum, they must be B-Rank in superhuman levels of power…" said Kaguya.
"I see…"
It was less complex than Frank thought…
"So they're really just prioritizing profits and good business over actual fighting potency? B-Rank is not so much, you know?" wondered Sadako.
"W-Well, it is very unlikely for such a big group of Demigods such as us to gather all at once. Demigods are supposed to be very rare, you'll never get recruits if the only rank you accept are above SSS-Rank…" sighed Kaguya.
"Meh, but anyone below that is just a weakling." Said Sadako.
"Hey…" sighed Matsuo.
"Ah, no offense shiny boy." Said Sadako, patting Matsuo.
"I don't know if I should feel flattered or not by being called like that." Said Matsuo.
"Your hair is indeed quite shiny," said Kamei, petting Matsuo too.
"A-Ah, well…" Matsuo felt a bit embarrassed that Frank's cute sister was petting him. So he swallowed his pride and let her have her way.
Frank looked at him rather intimidatingly, but quickly decided to ask something else to Kaguya.
"They don't have child? Are Vampires not capable of reproducing?"
"Oh, they do have children, every half a century though. Their metabolisms are very low… You see… So they are not quite sexually active as fiction depicts them." Chuckled Kaguya.
"Makes sense, they live for an eternity, so I don't see the rush of having kids." Said Orb.
"Well wouldn't we live for an eternity too?" wondered Gwendolyn.
"…Right. Well, it was Frank's fault! H-He's the one obsessed with baby-making…" said Orb rather cutely, looking at her belly, it was slowly getting a tiny bit bigger.
"Well some time ago we never thought we would become near immortal. Who would had thought that Demigods can actually just live forever?" said Cathyl.
"And even then, baby-making feels good." Said Vheslia, with a perverted smile as she imagined Frank embracing her in bed and trusting his big thing deep-
"Please can you stop looking at me like that…" sighed Frank, petting Vheslia's head.
"AH! S-Sorry dearie… Fueheh…"
Vheslia was quite the degenerate deep down.
"That's her creepy laugh." Said Clishya.
"Eh? W-What's wrong with my laugh? Fuheh.."
"There it is… It is a bit creepy." Said Gwendolyn.
"G-Gwen-chan, how can you say that?!" cried Vheslia, making a fuss.
"I like her laughter. She's quite peculiar but I like girls like her." Said Frank.
"Frank, I believe you like all type of girls." Said Matsuo.
"W-What was that for?! Have you been waiting this whole time to tell me that?" asked Frank while feeling backstabbed by his friend.
"Hahah! I-It is a joke, man." Said Matsuo.
"No, you're right Matsuo. Big brother is a big degenerate." Said Kamei, while whispering at Matsuo's ears.
"I heard that, Kamei!" said Frank.
"Gehh…"
"A-Anyways, now that I am coming with you guys, it shouldn't be so hard… I and Clementine have a… fine relationship. She was once the enemy of my grandmother and partial enemy of my parents, but that's on the past now." Said Kaguya.
"I don't remember Vampires having any beef against Oni, so I am mostly neutral here." Said Sadako.
"Well, hopefully everything goes fine." Hoped Frank, as they entered the Inner Domain of the Vampire Clan, reaching the misty forest and the several manors spread around.
"That's the one." Said Frank, not everyone had come here before so he needed to point them so they wouldn't get lost.
As they walked around the beautiful misty forests, Alexander pointed around at the places he found interesting.
"Dada… Mama… Twee!"
He looked at the trees and called them "twee", pointing at them adorably.
"Yup, those are trees, alright." Said Frank, smiling.
"Alexander, can you say my name?" asked Kamei.
"A… Aa… Auntwie…"
"Oh, she said auntie!" said Orb.
"But that's not my name…" sighed Kamei.
"Kamei!"
"Ah! You said it!" said Kamei, her eyes glowed with excitement.
"Our child is growing so fast… He already knows how to speak." Said Gwendolyn.
"Little brother, what's my name?" asked Annabelle.
"Annabewe… Nee-sama…!"
Alex suddenly kissed Annabelle in her forehead cutely, Annabelle waved her tail due to her little brother's adorableness. She had never experienced what was having a brother, and she had grown into a responsible big sister for Alexander to look up to.
"Hehe, you're sho cute!" said Annabelle, as she hugged her brother.
"Mommy can I carry him?"
"Fine." Gwendolyn let Annabelle carry her little brother, as Alex' big sister carried her little brother with her strong Demigoddess arms.
"Hehe, look, a walking skeleton!" said Annabelle.
"Oooohh…"
Alex was surprised as he saw something that he had seen many times before already, after all his father was a proficient necromancer. However, this one skeleton was particularly interesting as he wore butler clothes.
"Wait, that's Harumi's house butler." Said Frank.
The Skeleton Butler quickly greeted the family. Frank had already explained to those that had not come here yet to not harm any undead they found around, they were familiars and personal servants of the Vampires. If they were outside, they were mostly taking a break or looking for something in specific for their masters.
"Oh, but if it isn't Frank-sama and company- Oh? Could this lady be Kaguya-sama?" asked the Skeleton Butler.
"Indeed, I have come. It has been a long time, Sebas."
"It is a pleasure to know that Kaguya-sama remembers my humble name. Have you come to meet Clementine-sama?" he asked.
"Indeed, we came to meet her and her little daughter… and possibly the whole clan." Said Kaguya.
"Hoh?"
