Chapter 59: Let the massacre begin!
«And that’s that,» concludes Chantal, after telling Hakuto and the others the reason for her early return.
The night they left Ashiya, she had told them it could take years before they would see each other again.
«Becoming the strongest Monster Reaper in the world is no longer an ambitious enough goal. I want to become the most powerful vampire of all! And that might take me years,» she had said.
And yet, not even four months later, there she was again.
She told them that it was due to the forced retrieval of Itsu by her older brother, and that staying there alone wouldn’t have made sense anymore—so she might as well join them and continue training together.
«Itsu has a brother...? I had no idea, he’s never mentioned him...» mutters Hakuto, visibly pensive.
«Yeah, I was pretty shocked too. But considering the history between them, it doesn’t surprise me that Itsu decided to cut him out completely, to the point he doesn’t even consider him a brother anymore. Though I must admit, I’m dying to fight him again! He’s insanely strong... and also super hot!» comments Chantal—almost drooling, her eyes sparkling.
«Not as much as you, of course, my beloved Hakuto. I get that a woman being gone for too long might lead her man to moments of weakness, so I won’t blame you for fooling around with Kagura. But I’m back now—and it’s time I reclaim my rightful place among the women of this house!»
«Oh sure, Chantal, don’t worry!» Yuzu jumps in. «We’ve saved your spot in Hakuto’s harem hierarchy... right at the bottom!»
«Shut up, you little brat!» Chantal snaps back.
Then she turns to Hakuto, eyes narrowing.
