We spent the rest of the day getting to know each other, Diana and Irius started talking about training and fighting tactics, it seems they share the same interest in combat.
Kira, Érica, and Irina were talking about me, Irina seemed to want to know more about me and preferred to listen to the girls' opinions instead of my point of view, she said she was unable to understand my way of making decisions.
After a few hours, Ibuki and Byakko came back, I introduced them to the brothers, Ibuki hugged them happily saying that now the family has grown, for some reason, Irina cried with those words.
When I asked Irius why she cried he said that this is the first day that so many people treat them with such affection and sincerity before they could only count on each other, but now they were with us, he said that your sister's tears are of happiness.
Érica took some of the fruit that Byakko brought back for everyone to eat while we talked, so night fell and I went to sleep.
I tried not to appear so as not to worry everyone but I was extremely tired after transforming the brothers, I didn't pay attention during their transformation as I was trying to break the Control Symbol and I was filled with rage hearing the voice of the Worm of Thomas Galaretto, but my whole body was aching, the only reason I could stand it was my pain resistance ability, so I went to bed early.
But before going to sleep I went to look in a mirror in the warehouse to see my appearance that I haven't checked so far, what I saw surprised me, even I had to admit my beauty.
I still had red hair, my eyes, as I imagined, were still golden and dark purple, my teeth were white as snow and my fangs were easy to see when I spoke, my ears were the size of a human but they were pointed, my skin was brown and I still had the same tribal tattoos all over my body.
These tattoos take over my back and pass through my arms, legs, and chest, these tattoos had four different colors which are gold, purple, black, and silver.
-----------
Over the next two days, the brothers and I tried to get used to our new bodies, both they and I had a huge boost in our status and we needed to get used to it before we headed to Valen City.
During our training, I notice that Irius is as strong as Diana in combat without using abilities at least.
I also realized that even though Irina is a White Mage who focuses on giving support from a safe place, she also has combat training, when I talked about this she said that her brother insisted on training her to at least be able to defend herself if she ran out of mana.
During this time the brothers also spoke what they knew about the Vampires, it seems that the Vampires are divided into three factions, the first faction is hidden in the underworld of human cities controlling clandestine organizations, they live without harming humans and usually have slaves to feed of their blood without killing them, are considered a faction that side with the Humans of the indirect firm.
The second faction is composed of Vampires who hate Humans and other races that have discriminated against them, and don't like to hide and have to control their desire to drink blood, these Vampires side with the Demons who are also against Humans.
The third Faction is neutral, the Vampires of that faction stay away from the affairs of other races and worship their Blood Goddess, they live in isolated places peacefully.
I have also found that more than half of Vampires have no bloodline at all, it seems the Church of Light believes that only forty percent of Vampires are Variants having any bloodline from any Vampire family.
With this information, it was not difficult to know the way each of the groups acts, in short, the first faction is cautious and plans things secretly, the second faction is aggressive and proud, but it is difficult to have an idea about the third faction as it doesn't it often seems from what the brothers have told me.
What caught my attention was knowing about this Blood Goddess that the third faction worships, when I asked about this Goddess they said they didn't know anything about her.
I have to find out more about this Goddess.
Diana left the day before the rest of us, she had to go to the Trade Guild to get the keys to the mansion and fulfill a task I asked her to.
------------
Today is the day we leave for Valen City, we store everything we had in storage items, I found out that Irina had a rare skill called Inventory, so we gave all storage items to her to store with her skill.
We were all ready, the brothers and I were wearing masks that were covered from the nose down, we are using that to hide our fangs.
Érica is already in her Human form, she followed my advice and used a tattoo image for her transformation magic, now she has light white skin and black hair, she has a tattoo on her arm that resembles a heart with bat wings on her arms. sides, horns on top and a tail with a triangle at the tip, the color of the heart is black as ink, this is the tattoo she imagined for her magic, it looks like a normal tattoo, but when it reverts to its normal shape a lot of energy leaves the tattoo and runs through your body, then the tattoo disappears.
Kira is wearing the new Illusion Spirit Ring I got from Diana's friend Mari, she got this when she met her in Valen City while she was shopping for things for our plan to capture the faceless brothers.
We all gathered outside the cabin, I was looking at this cabin that I built with my own hands, it was the first house I had in this world, I remember how I used the "Wolf Claw" skill to cut the trees already. I didn't have an ax, I remember Diana and Ibuki helping me with the construction while Érica checked the items we had in stock, I remember how difficult it was to get things from Kira's cave here after we took out her bandit group.
There are many memories, this was the first place I called home and where I lived with the family I built in this world, I didn't think it would be so difficult to leave here.
"Don't cry master, I know it's hard to leave the house, I went through the same thing when I made my family expel me." (Érica)
"I understand master, me it's also difficult to leave this cabin since my mother died years ago, this was the first place that made me feel at home, leaving this place behind is difficult." (Kira)
"..." (I)
I lift my hand to my face and see that I'm crying, I didn't think I would cry like that just for moving house.
I take a deep breath to compose myself and speak to everyone.
"It's time to go, let's go." (I)
I start walking to the camp gates and head into the forest without looking back.
"Where now Kira?" (I)
"I will lead the master path." (Kira)
"Right." (I)
It took a few hours of travel to reach the city, we dodged all the monsters along the way as thanks to the various sense-type skills I have I was able to locate them all.
When I arrived in the city I was impressed with the city walls, they were big and resistant, the city gates were also big, I saw soldiers in metal armor inspecting carriages and luggage at the gate, there were two lines at the gate, one for the carriages I assumed to be for merchants and the other row for the rest of the people.
I was fascinated with the people in the queue, there were people with characteristics of various animals, there were people over two meters tall, there were short but muscular people, there was a lot of variety of breeds, this was the first time I've seen so many breeds in one place, many people in line were carrying some kind of weapon.
"Don't be impressed by this alone master, wait at least until we're inside the city." (Érica)
"..." (I)
I woke up to Érica's words, it seems I was paralyzed by the fascination of seeing all this for the first time.
After that we all got in line and waited our turn when it was our turn the guards confirmed that we had no luggage and saw that we had some weapons, he asked if we were adventurers and I said no, I told him we were travelers and we were going register in the Adventurers' Guild of that city, he charged ten copper coins for each one and let us in.
Once again I am fascinated by what I see, many people are walking to and fro in the city, the city's architecture resembles the medieval because all the buildings are made of stone, even the streets are made of smooth stone, the houses and buildings they are painted in various colors, have food stalls made of wood or mounted on carts on both sides of the main road, thanks to my improved sense of smell I can smell so many different smells that I'm getting dizzy.
The street we are on seems to be the main street that leads to the city center, from what Érica, Diana and Kira had already told me there must be a fountain in the center of the city, from the square where the fountain is, the main streets that lead to the four city gates.
"What do we do now master?" (Kira)
"I'll get in touch with Diana to meet us at the water fountain downtown, let's go." (I)
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
We spent the rest of the day getting to know each other, Diana and Irius started talking about training and fighting tactics, it seems they share the same interest in combat.
