Angela observed everything from kilometers away with her eyes, which now glowed with an intense violet hue.
Even from that distance, she could see perfectly what was happening around the city of Reverse Sanos, including the vampires who continued walking through the streets while searching for the source of the scent that had appeared earlier.
"So this is the vampires' dimension... It makes me wonder what the others are like."
Vampires were not the only race that possessed their own dimension. Elves and dragons also had their own worlds, and entering them without permission was almost always an extremely difficult task.
"So you came here because you wanted to form an alliance to gain strength... Tell me, Enrico, how do you intend to make these bloodsuckers accept a deal?"
"In exchange for blood and important information."
Angela looked at Enrico for a few seconds.
She still could not believe that offering blood would be one of the methods he intended to use to negotiate. After all, vampires could simply kill humans to obtain blood. Therefore, if he really wanted to convince them, the information he possessed would probably be much more important than that.
"Could you tell me what this information is?"
"Sorry, but I prefer to talk to them first. It's not because I don't trust you, but because this is the best way."
Angela turned her eyes back toward the surroundings. It was already night, and the three girls were sleeping against a tree while Enrico continued trying to convince her that forming an alliance with the vampires before leaving would be a good decision.
"You can stay calm, Miss Angela. Besides this information, the blood I have can also offer them something very important."
"You seem quite confident. I know they can evolve depending on the type of blood they drink, but if your blood is really that incredible, where does it come from?"
"From myself."
Angela immediately grabbed Enrico's shoulders, looking at him in disbelief. If that blood really was as valuable as he claimed, the vampires could simply decide not to let him leave after discovering its origin.
She was already about to completely reject the idea when Enrico interrupted her thoughts.
"Young master..."
"I'm not going to reveal that this blood is mine."
Enrico's plan was to enter vampire society as a newly created vampire. Since the skin of vampires became paler and paler as time passed, he could use his current appearance to pretend that he had just been transformed. In this way, he could go unnoticed while pretending to serve some vampire of great power.
'This plan is good. Now I really understand why Miss Virelle wants him so much as a disciple.'
Angela was not surprised by Enrico's intelligence. She had accompanied many of his solo missions and, over time, had also learned to worry about him, something completely different from what had happened when she first met him.
At that time, when she first realized that there was something different about him, her first suspicion was that Enrico might be being controlled by a demon. She had even prepared herself to kill him if that were confirmed.
"So that's why you changed back then..."
"Yes. We can say that was the day I went back in time."
Angela sat down as she began mentally analyzing all the moments when she had noticed something different about Enrico. Even that first fight against Kai came to her mind. On that occasion, Enrico had fought as if he already knew Kai's fighting style perfectly.
"So you lost to Kai before?"
"Lost? Pff... We can say I was humiliated."
Angela began laughing upon hearing the answer. So that fight had merely been a kind of return of the humiliation Enrico had suffered previously.
She already considered Enrico a prodigy, but Virelle had made her see that even more clearly. The only time Virelle truly seemed confused was when Enrico evolved twice during the fight against Danyana. That day, Angela had seen doubt and confusion in the teacher's eyes.
"But tell me, how did you manage to evolve twice during the same fight?"
"Because I'm a prodigy."
Enrico answered with a completely neutral expression. Angela immediately realized that he did not intend to explain.
There was probably some secret related to the future behind that evolution, so she decided not to insist. In any case, she already intended to tell Virelle and the king about that situation, so it would be better to leave that matter aside for now.
"Returning to the plan... Are you sure you can form an alliance with them?"
Surprised by Angela's sincere smile, Enrico realized that his answer could determine whether she would approve his plan or not. Without showing any doubt, he looked at her seriously.
"They won't just form an alliance. They will be bound to me forever."
For a few moments, she looked at him seriously before letting out a sigh.
"Your confidence amazes me... Very well. Where do we start?"
"First, let's wake them up."
Enrico decided to wake the girls to explain the complete plan all at once, avoiding having to repeat everything later. He explained that he intended to enter the city as a newly created vampire, accompanied only by Yumeha, while the other three would need to find a way to remain hidden.
"What I want now is for you to find a way to hide from the vampires. Since we'll be walking through several places, at some point the necklace might not be able to completely hide you, and some human scent could escape."
"My Ketsumei, can't we try hiding around here?"
"It wouldn't be difficult to find you afterward. Your scents would remain in the air and could attract the vampires to this place. Even with Angela here, it would be difficult to fight several high-powered vampires at the same time."
They needed to find a way for the three to accompany Enrico without appearing to be human or, at the very least, to keep them completely hidden during the journey.
"What if you take us as your 'food'? Could they respect that?"
"That would never work unless I were a vampire with greater power than theirs."
Angela silently watched the discussion until she finally took a white bracelet from her arm. She placed a small amount of her violet magic onto the object and then transferred that magic into her body, Rina's, and Aoi's.
"I have a way to hide you inside here."
Angela pointed to the bracelet and placed it on Enrico's wrist. A violet glow surrounded the three girls and, in an instant, they disappeared without leaving any trace, as if they had been absorbed into the bracelet itself.
Yumeha looked at the object with a frightened expression. Even without admitting it out loud, she had become worried about the possibility that something had happened to her sister.
"Master, what was that?"
"Angela's magic. I had forgotten how strong she was."
Enrico secured the bracelet more tightly around his wrist and noticed a mark with his own name engraved on it. That meant that he had become the owner of the object and that, whenever the bracelet was more than two meters away from him, it would immediately return to his wrist.
"Yumeha, don't worry. I'll explain everything along the way. First, put on the mask and let's begin the plan."
"Alright. But won't they be uncomfortable like that?"
"No. They should be comfortable in some beautiful room."
The two put on black masks that completely covered their faces. Yumeha's had the shape of a crow, while Enrico's did not have any specific design, only a few marks positioned on the sides of the eyes. After that, Enrico changed the color of his own eyes, making them completely red.
Now, at least at first glance, the two looked like vampires.
