Everyone watched in silence as the tree began to absorb the blood that Victor gave.
Slowly, all the blood was sucked into the tree, and imdiate changes began to happen.
So roots of the tree that were damaged began to be recovered, and...
Red leaves started to grow, the ancient giant tree that looked completely dry seed to recover a little.
"Uru, Urru!" The gorilla looked quite pleased.
Gulp.
Natashia swallowed hard and looked at the tree and the gorilla with a wary look, as she was feeling a sense of danger emanating from the two beings…
But wasn't it a danger like Scathach, it was sothing more like an instinctual danger? It's the sa feeling she got when she t a hunter, and saw the hunters' weapons.
She focused her gaze on the gorilla; 'It was a small thing, but I felt his strength increasing a little... Are they connected in so way?' She deduced that, after all, the mont the tree drank the blood, the gorilla's strength seed to increase.
"Hmm." Victor touched his chin and seed to think deeply, he felt the sa thing as Natashia, and it put a small smile on his face.
"...Darling, do you know what you're doing?" Sasha, who was a little farther away from Victor, asked.
"Of course..." Victor looked at Sasha and flashed a gentle smile.
"..." Sasha kept looking at Victor; 'As expected, he knows sothing, I wonder what he's doing.' she thought.
"I do not know."
"......" Sasha's entire thought process seed to stop, her brain short-circuited, and for a mont, she nearly fell to the floor.
"Huuuh?" That was the only reaction she managed to do, "Why are you giving blood to this Mon... Being, if you don't know what effect it will have on you?"
Her husband can't be that random, right? He can't be that kind of being who just does random things expecting random results, right?
He is not an agent of chaos!
"Well, it's interesting, isn't it?" He flashed an innocent smile as if he were a child doing experints.
"....." He is! He's completely random!
"Ugh." Sasha put a hand to her head. She seed to have a headache, she followed Victor hoping to be alone with him, but she never imagined she would see this vision.
The sight of a giant gorilla, and a strange tree that has life, she had heard stories from when Victor first visited this place, but seeing and hearing is different…
'I wonder what Violet's reaction will be when she sees it. this place.'
"...!!!?" Sasha's entire body shivered a little when she saw a branch slowly approaching Victor.
"Darling-...? Huh?" She looked like she would initially warn him of the danger, but she was surprised when Victor turned and looked at the branch with curious eyes.
"Why isn't he doing anything?" Sasha asked her doubt out loud since Victor was just standing there and looking at the branch like he was waiting for sothing.
"Hmmm..." Natashia found this situation quite curious, and she tried to rember the past before she beca a countess. Her mother must have told her about this tree, and she had a feeling that her mother said sothing to her, but she doesn't rember. After all, it happened thousands of years ago.
She didn't care at the ti for information about a random tree.
But she had a feeling this tree was important sohow.
'Fuck, I should have listened to what my mother said at the ti, I was too busy envying her big breasts that I completely forgot about it.'
Natashia felt a little bad now since, if only she had listened to her mother and not focused on useless things like the size of a woman's breasts or her legs, and wondering if she would ever have the sa body as her mother...
She could help her husband! But no! Her younger self had to focus on useless things!
"Hmm?" Natashia stops thinking nonsense when she sees a change in the tree's branches.
Drops of blood began to form on the tip of the tree branch, and at supernatural speed, a fruit was created.
"... What is it? A fruit?" Sasha spoke up.
"Yes, it looks like an apple..." Natashia continues.
"Ohhh, I missed eating this." Knowing what it was, Victor quickly grabs the fruit and bites into it.
"He's eating..." The two spoke in disbelief. Didn't his mother teach him that it's common sense not to eat food from strangers? Especially from a monster!?
"Delicious~." Victor finished sucking it all out pretty quickly. It tasted quite different from his wives' blood, it wasn't that 'delicious,' but it was a different taste, and he liked to eat it.
"Uru, Urru!" Gorilla seed to clap with satisfaction, and then he looked up at the tree again.
And saw that the leaves that grew on it began to dry up a little again.
"Urru..." He looked a little sad about that.
"... Hmm." Victor looked at this phenonon with interested eyes and realized that by drinking the fruit from the tree, it had run out of vitality, so he began to think.
"... I do not like this." Sasha got a bad feeling every ti Victor got like this.
"What?" Natashia asked curiously.
"When Darling gets that face, it ans he's going to do sothing outrageous again."
"Hey, Big Guy."
"Uru?" The gorilla looked at Victor.
"The tree needs blood, right?"
"Ugh." He nodded in agreent with the man's words.
"What kind of blood?"
"Beast blood? Vampire blood? Werewolf blood? Human blood?" He nad all the types of blood it was possible to obtain in a short period of ti.
Thinking of a possibility, his smile widened a little, and he asked:
"The blood of a god?"
"..." Natashia started to feel the sa bad feeling that Sasha was feeling.
"Seeing the sweat pouring off her mother's face." Sasha flashed a tired smile,
"Do you understand now?"
"Yes..." Even though she replied like that, she was thinking, 'As expected of my husband! He's crazy, and I love it! Ahh~. I want to suck his blood again.'
… Her insides and her outsides were completely different…
"..." The gorilla was silent, he looked at the tree for a few seconds, as he seed to communicate with the tree, and then he looked at Victor.
He made a gesture with his hand that ans...
"Everyone, huh?"
Yes, literally everything. She wanted all the blood.
Victor laughed a little and looked at the tree, "She's pretty hungry, huh?"
'The blood of a god is impossible now, but monsters and vampires, it's pretty easy.' Victor thought quickly in his head.
"...." The tree branches seed to shake a little when she heard what Victor said. Did she seem to feel a little ashad?
"Very well..." Victor's whole atmosphere changed and beca more serious.
"Take care of the girls for , Big guy."
"Geh." He made a face that showed he didn't want to.
Victor narrowed his eyes and proposed a deal, "If you do this, I will collect bananas for you."
"Urru..." The gorilla's eyes glead a little.
"..." He nodded in agreent with the deal. All he needed to do was look at the won, right? It wasn't difficult.
"Good. I will be back soon."
Realizing she was going to be left behind again, Sasha quickly asked, "W-Wait, Darling. Where are you going? Will you leave us here?" She didn't want to be alone with that gorilla.
"Well, yes? I Will be back soon, or do you want to help ?"
"What do you want to do?" Natashia asked curiously.
"I will capture beasts around here and criminal vampires. With a count's authority, I can do that quickly." Victor explained in an easy to understand and straightforward way.
"...Whoaa..." Sasha was amazed at how easily Victor could break the rules.
"Is that true..." Leaving aside about kidnapping the vampires, Natashia asked:
"Why are you going to do this? Are you going to feed that tree?" She deduced.
"Yes." And he gave a simple, easy-to-understand answer, an answer that even a monkey could understand.
"Why?" She saw no need for it.
"I an, why not?" He asked.
Victor didn't have a deep thought when doing this, he just had a random idea to feed the tree, and he's going to do it.
There is no deep motivation, no grand plan, just Victor doing whatever he wants, anyti he wants to, and when he wants.
"...." Sasha was silent, she didn't have anything to say about it, after all, just like Victor, she also did random things sotis, she thought it was interesting, and that's why she did it, she didn't have big goals for it.
And because of that, she understood a little bit how Victor felt right now.
"And…? What are you going to do?" Victor asked.
"...." The two won looked at each other for a few seconds and nodded to each other. Their thoughts are simple, let's help him finish this random mont so he can be alone with us!
"We will help." The two spoke at the sa ti.
"Good." Victor's smile grew a little, and he began to order:
"First, we're going to capture Nightingale's prisoners. We will catch those vampires who committed the most serious cris."
"…Darling, you know they are strong, right?" Sasha spoke up.
"Most of them are older vampires." And Natashia continued.
"I know, but they will be weak because they haven't fed properly." Victor had no motivation to fight soone weak, he knew just give blood to that person, and he will get stronger, but he didn't want to bother.
His goal is not to fight but to feed the tree.
And he's also 'satisfied', he's in Buddha mode, and he's been enlightened. After all, he had a good fight with Anderson and had an 'intimate' mont with Violet after a long ti.
He is also calr after drinking Violet and Sasha's blood.
He doesn't want to fight now.
"Natashia and I will capture the criminals, Sasha you will lure the beasts to this location so the Big Guy can finish them off."
"...Uruh...?" The gorilla pointed at himself while he seed to have a face that said, am I?
Victor narrowed his eyes, "You are the guardian, you will help too, or I will not bring bananas!"
"......." Veins popped in the gorilla's head. Does he think he's going to be convinced because of so bananas? He wants to be lazy!
When he was going to protest about this, he felt a branch tapping his shoulder.
He seed to communicate with the tree for a few seconds, and then he made a slightly annoyed expression and sighed:
"Urru..." He was convinced.
"...Pfft... He's commanded around like a bitch... Pfft..." Victor was trying hard not to laugh.
"Grrrrr..." The Gorilla's eyes narrowed.
Suddenly everyone heard the sounds of footsteps and the voice of two won:
"Ugh, this Victor is a clueless man. How can he kidnap to this end of the world? I'm still a countess, you know?" Eleanor looked quite irritated.
"...I don't care. Why are you telling this?" Eve spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"I just can't stand being silent anymore." She was honest. From the mont she woke up, Eve just kept looking at her silently, and the only thing Maid said was,
"Follow , My Master is waiting." And soon she started walking towards sowhere, and Eleanor, who didn't know where she was, had no choice but to follow Maid.
And the entire ti she followed the Maid, the woman remained silent without saying anything, and she couldn't take it anymore and started talking to the woman.
"Deal with it." Eve spoke in a cold tone as she turned her face forward and said:
"... We're here." Her eyes imdiately went to Victor.
"... A monster." Instinctively, Eleanor made a gesture to take the hilt of a Greatsword off her back, but...
The sword that always accompanied her was not there.
"Fuck." She grumbled.
"Grr..." The gorilla creaked a little when he saw the two new won.
"Tsk." Victor clicked his tongue and looked at the gorilla that was getting hostile:
"Stop being a precocious boy, they are with ."
"..." The gorilla was speechless when he heard what Victor said.
I'm older than you, did you know? He had that kind of face.
He turned his attention to the girls who had just arrived. He looked at the girl with long black hair, and she conveyed the sa feeling as Victor. Which ans, in the gorilla's view, she's Victor's daughter or sothing.
Which wasn't wrong, considering Victor raised Eve.
He looked at the taller, white-haired woman.
The taller woman had nothing... She didn't sll like Victor. On the contrary, she slled like blood, beast blood... Wrong, monster blood.
And instinctively, the Gorilla beca more wary of her.
'I think it was not a good idea to bring this woman here.' Natashia thought when she saw Eleanor's serious state.
"Eleanor, this is the being I wanted you to et." Victor suddenly spoke up.
"..." But the woman didn't answer. She didn't seem to have heard, and the only thing that was going through her head now was.
'Kill, Kill, kill, kill.... I WILL KILL THE MONSTER" A distorted smile appeared on her face, as she was completely beside herself.
"Oh?" Victor really liked that smile.
Quake, Quake, Quake.
The ground around Eleanor began to shake violently, an earthquake was coming.
She stomps the ground, and soon an Earth greatsword is created.
She pulls the greatsword off the ground, puts it on her shoulder, and looks at the gorilla with a gaze glowing blood red.
Slowly, Victor's smile started to grow and get distorted, it seems he found a similar one; 'No wonder she was trained by Scathach.' He thought.
"..." Natashia narrowed her eyes when she saw Eleanor's attitude. If she continues like this, she will provoke a fight.
"Grrr..." Seeing that the woman was more nacing than before, the gorilla positioned himself opposite her.
Suddenly, everyone heard a noise that left everyone silent.
SLAP!
Before everyone even knew it, Victor appeared in front of her and slapped her across the face.
"…Eh?" Eleanor opened her eyes wide and touched her face, which was a little red.
"Calm down." He spoke in a firm voice that allowed no refusal.
