Chapter 64

——Concert!

Seeing this word, he was reminded of his promise with Yuki. The days since the start of the school year had been too stimulating for the killer whose fighting instincts had been dulled by a long period of comfortable living. As a result, his already somewhat unreliable memory had a tendency to deteriorate further due to frequent mental exhaustion.

He cursed his own forgetfulness for forgetting what he had promised at noon and quickly took out his phone to check the specific time for the ticket sales online.

—How lucky!

The wall clock pointed to 10:35, leaving plenty of time before the tickets went on sale at midnight. The distance from his home to the venue was not too far, and he could reach it within an hour even by leisurely strolling.

However, Levi could not be complacent. Recent unexpected events were countless, and no one could predict what might happen on the way. To be safe, he decided to set off immediately.

Levi, who did not pay much attention to idols and only had a superficial understanding from TV, naively believed that arriving over an hour early was impressive. He had already started to fantasize about holding the best seat in the front row and appearing before the emotionless girl, wondering if he could make her show some emotion.

Having made up his mind, Levi gently lifted the small blonde head resting on his lap and replaced it with a cushion.

He gave a nod to Tachibana, who had just come out of the kitchen, and tiptoed to open the door and step outside. The sound of the door closing and a heavy "hmm" from the sofa overlapped, so he didn't hear it and was pleased that his skills hadn't declined.

If asked who knew Levi best in the world, Evi would nod without any modesty.

Although she couldn't use magic, her vampire instincts had not disappeared. Almost all non-human animals have better body control than humans, and controlling the heart and pulse is a basic skill for weak vampires to conceal their identity.

Powerful True Ancestors fear no enemies, and maintaining a stopped heart is a symbol of dignity. For Evi, it had a deeper meaning. A heart that was almost always still not only helped her hide her emotions in battle to avoid early warnings from opponents but also allowed her to pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop on Levi's movements without him noticing.

Her partner had recently been overwhelmed by romantic entanglements, which she couldn't help but notice. How long had it been? He had already filled their small house with various girls.

Even if Levi himself had no such intentions, Evi couldn't be complacent. Facing the sudden appearance of several girls, if they were ordinary passersby, it would be one thing. But Eve, Kaguya, and the newly moved-in Momo all possessed qualities that could drive most men wild.

Although the concept of monogamy had never been promoted in the magical world they originally lived in or in the era when Evi was born, even in the real world, many countries had relaxed regulations to address the gender imbalance and low birth rates after the war, which exacerbated the aging population.

But so what? Levi was hers, the person was hers, even the surname was hers, and his heart, of course, could only belong to her. Over the long years, this situation might change, but Evi wouldn't easily let other women enter their world.

Even if someone else eventually did enter, they would only be of a lower rank than her. The vampire girl was satisfied with her pride but didn't realize that deep down, she was still the princess who had waited alone in a lonely castle, deeply influenced by medieval feudal ideas, and had given up the possibility of making the one in her heart her exclusive possession.

Evi felt that the biggest threat now was the Servant, Eve, who had the deepest bond with Levi and had signed a contract with him. Their relationship was too dangerous. Evi had seen countless TV dramas about workplace romances. Master and Servant, who participated in the Holy Grail War together, could be considered colleagues, right?

Or the easiest scenario for a romantic entanglement, a male boss and a female subordinate. The vampire girl buried her small head in the cushion and let out a light hum.

She had to strictly supervise! Evi planned in her mind, arranging the intensity and methods of surveillance in the order of Eve, Kaguya, and Momo. As for the other tenant in the house, she was completely ignored. Although she hadn't bothered to understand Rin Tohsaka's thoughts, Evi was very clear that the daughter entrusted to Levi by her friend would always be his guardian and nothing more!

Regardless of how the blonde vampire girl trampled the cushion that replaced him in the house, Levi, completely unaware of all this, was walking to the venue with a light and happy heart.

The residence was located in a remote forest, rarely visited by people. Although she had some understanding of Evi's personality, the terrifying rumors about the "Dark Gospel" in the magical world had spread too widely. To be safe, the principal of Mahora ordered the students to move from the beautiful dormitories near the forest.

It was no challenge to find an excuse for the principal, who was old and cunning. With a few casual reasons, the students had no choice but to move out, leaving the abandoned dormitories to serve as the walls of the vampire castle.

However, the virtue of frugality led to the reuse of these abandoned buildings. They quickly became the perfect resting places for thugs and hoodlums.

These people, also considered waste, were not on the list of items Mahora needed to protect. Using them to test the good intentions of the evil vampire was not a bad idea. This irresponsible thought indirectly added a lot of trouble to Levi's daily journey.

Unfortunately, those guys always did boring things like bullying weak boys and earning a bit of living. As a result, Levi had yet to get a chance to be a hero and save a beauty.

But that chance finally came today.

His decision to leave early proved to be incredibly wise. He wasted a bit of time dealing with three guys who initially tried to rob him but almost turned into a sexual assault. Fortunately, he had left early, and he could still make it if he hurried.

He said he was taking his time, but he couldn't really go fast. To be a hero and save a beauty, there needed to be a "beauty." Now, a high school girl with long black straight hair was following him.

The girl, whether naturally shy or too frightened, behaved like a newly released animal, easily startled by the slightest movement. In this situation, it was easy to imagine how awkward Levi felt.

Finally, they reached the venue, and he immediately handed the girl over to a classmate who was waiting there. He didn't even take a good look at the girl, only remembering that her surname was Akiyama, and he didn't care to know more.

Because now, he had no time to think about anything else. The scene before him, like a post-earthquake evacuation, left Levi standing there, dumbfounded.

—Could he really buy a ticket?

His unrealistic fantasy of getting the best seat in the front row was finally shattered by the harsh reality.
