Early the next morning, the Shinoa Squad set out on the journey to Omotesando Station.
Mitsuba and Shinoa Hiragi walked in front to lead the way.
"There are no traces of the Four Horsemen of John nearby. These Vampires must have been here for quite some time. Be careful."
Everyone nodded solemnly.
Shihō Kimizuki spoke up suddenly, asking a question.
"What should we do about the humans imprisoned here?"
Mitsuba pondered for a moment and then replied.
"Ignore them for now."
"Huh?"
Mitsuba explained.
"We don't have the spare time to worry about the safety of others."
Shihō Kimizuki frowned. Mitsuba, without considering the feelings of others, said directly,
"What's with that expression? If you're not satisfied, then get lost and go back as soon as possible. This is a battlefield, not a place for indecisive brats."
Shihō Kimizuki didn't get angry and replied,
"I'm not unsatisfied. If we can kill Vampires, these are all minor matters..."
Shinoa Hiragi suddenly interrupted and said to everyone,
"Stop chatting, we've arrived. Omotesando Station."
Looking at the dilapidated entrance to the underground station, everyone knew that there was serious business to attend to next.
After Shinoa Hiragi gave everyone some instructions at the entrance, she led them cautiously down the steps.
The first things that caught their eyes were thin and weak children scattered in groups of three to five among the ruins. Everyone was listless and lacked energy; it was clear that they were not treated well.
Yuichiro's face turned grim as he looked at the uniform clothing the children were wearing. He remembered his life in the underground of Sanguinem four years ago.
"Livestock clothing..."
The children also noticed these sudden strangers, but most of them just looked up slightly and then lowered their heads again.
They had never seen the uniforms of the Imperial Demon Army, nor did they have any extravagant hope that these people had the ability to save them.
"Let's go. It's said the Vampires are on the third basement level. We must settle this quickly!"
Mitsuba signaled for everyone not to stop. With a serious expression, she took the lead toward the deeper parts of the subway station.
Along the way, they saw many children.
Shihō Kimizuki was somewhat puzzled.
"The Vampires clearly aren't around, so why don't they escape?"
Mitsuba seemed unfazed by such things.
"Because the outside is filled with monsters. At least the Vampires provide them with protection."
"In exchange for their blood?"
"That's why they need us to rescue them,"
Mitsuba said with a serious expression.
While the Shinoa Squad was on high alert, scanning their surroundings, they were unaware that two pairs of eyes were already watching them from the shadows.
"Rescue? Haha, what a high-sounding excuse! Lady Krul, did you hear what she said?"
Luke patted Krul's shoulder and asked.
Krul crossed her arms, puzzled.
"They're just a group of weak humans. Did you wait here for a day and a night just for them?"
Luke said unhurriedly,
"No, no, no. Look at them more carefully. Don't you see anything?"
Krul observed these humans again and indeed discovered something.
"That man... is that escaped Seraph?!"
Luke snapped his fingers.
"Correct!"
As Yuichiro was following everyone deeper, asuramaru's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Yu, be careful. There are two presences watching you from the shadows. Both of them give me a familiar feeling."
Yuichiro's expression became solemn, and his right hand gripped the hilt of his blade.
Yoichi noticed Yuichiro's abnormality and asked,
"Yu-kun, what's wrong?"
Everyone looked at Yuichiro.
"asuramaru sensed two guys watching us from the shadows..."
Yuichiro scanned the surrounding terrain, thinking about where someone could hide.
After hearing Yuichiro's words, the others also looked around alertly.
Since Yuichiro's weapon was classified as Black Demon-class, the demon within the blade was credible.
"Who is it?!"
Yuichiro suddenly drew asuramaru and shouted at the surroundings.
Clap, clap... Luke walked out from the shadows, clapping and smiling.
"What a pity, you found us. Well then, let's skip the commercials and start the main feature."
Krul followed behind Luke, prepared to watch his solo performance.
"Careful! It's a Vampire, and it looks like a noble."
Mitsuba looked at Luke warily, holding tenjiryuu as she stood in front of her companions.
"Luke?!"
Seeing Luke emerge from the shadows, Yuichiro didn't relax; instead, he gripped asuramaru even tighter.
Mitsuba looked at Yuichiro in confusion.
"You know him?"
Yuichiro nodded and said solemnly,
"He's the Vampire who defeated Lieutenant Colonel Guren at Shibuya First High School a month ago!"
After hearing Guren's explanation, Yuichiro suspected that Luke had intentionally provided him with false information. What Luke had said so decisively back then contradicted Guren's explanation, so he currently harbored doubts about both Luke and Guren.
Yuichiro then looked at the female Vampire behind Luke, and his pupils shrank.
This looks like the Vampire Queen of Sanguinem!
Unfortunately, he didn't see Mika.
Meanwhile, Hiagi Shinoa had been frowning ever since Luke appeared. The opponent gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had met him when she was a child, but she couldn't recall it for a moment.
Hearing Yuichiro's words, everyone was shocked, and their expressions turned grim.
If he could defeat Lieutenant Colonel Guren, they might be no match for him.
Luke observed the various vivid expressions on Yuichiro and the others' faces, spread his arms, and said with a smile,
"Alright, uninvolved personnel please leave the area."
The few children nearby immediately scrambled up and moved away from the area.
Yuichiro and the others stood ready, not daring to make a rash move.
asuramaru's voice suddenly rang in Yuichiro's heart again.
"Yu, I advise you all to leave quickly~ otherwise you might not be able to get away later. If you leave with the children now, you might still be able to escape."
Yuichiro frowned.
"What are you saying? Do you know him too?"
"No comment, but if you don't leave now, you really won't be able to leave."
Yuichiro didn't believe for a second that Luke would just let them leave.
At this moment, Luke's smile grew wider.
"Evacuation time is over! It seems you all consider yourselves involved personnel? Actually, if you had left with those human children just now, I wouldn't have bothered with you, but unfortunately, you missed that chance."
Krul sat on a nearby pile of ruins, having no intention of intervening, her gaze shifting between the Seraph Yuichiro and Hiagi Shinoa, who looked remarkably like Hiagi Mahiru.
Yoichi asked uneasily,
"What should we do next?"
Shihō Kimizuki's eyes remained fixed on Luke, holding Ghost Box King in a combat stance.
Mitsuba also didn't dare to be the least bit negligent. She had never encountered a Vampire noble before, let alone one with the record of easily defeating Lieutenant Colonel Guren.
Luke didn't take the group seriously, instead staring directly at the asuramaru at Yuichiro's waist.
"Now, two choices. Yuichiro, trade your cursed gear with me in exchange for your companions' lives, or I'll snatch your cursed gear myself and then decide whether to release your companions based on my mood."
Luke thought of something else, maintained the smile on his face, and looked at Shinoa Hiragi.
"By the way, Shinoa, your Shikama Doji can also be traded~ it's just that you can't leave."
Krul rested her chin on her hand, watching Luke's performance with curiosity.
