Chapter 54
Chapter 54
I heard an electric sound just like when Feat and Bolt came, a big animal appeared in my field of vision and then it approached me .
「Haa!?」
…… Surely…… not?
A big lion with red fur has appeared in front of me .
Elephant size? Ah but, I have never seen an elephant up close so I can’t say for sure . But, it would be at least such size .

Uwaa~…… an outrageous animal has turned up .
When I immediately check using appraisal, it’s without a doubt the contracted beast that the Flame God-sama has sent for me .
Scarlet King Leo is an S-Rank monster . Moreover, it’s ferocious monster often called with names such as『Man-Eating Lion』,『Bloodthirsty Lion』or『Red Devil』 .
I have nothing to criticize about its fighting power, but…… this, I can’t possibly take it along?
No matter how you look, isn’t it a target of fear?
「You have been sent by the Fire God-sama, right?」
『Garuru』
Un, just a little purr is so powerful because of its size .
「Ah~ Best regards . Umm, right…… Vector . You are Vector」
『Garu』
Is he happy? It looks fierce, but isn’t it unexpectedly affable?
「Ah~ Vector . Could you become smaller? I can’t see your face like this」
『Garu』
When I said so, Vector shone slightly and turned into a large-breed dog size lion .
A~…… Vector’s appearances are very characteristic so even though he became the size of a large dog, he’s still a red lion .
…… This, won’t it be revealed right away that he’s Scarlet King Leo even though he became small?
「「Vector~?」」
『Garu』
Before I noticed, Allen and Elena approached Vector . Not only the children, even the senior contracted beast came near .
「Allen, Elena . Vector is also one of our children starting today . Get along well~」
「「Un」」
「Joule, Feat, and Bolt too . It’s our new companion . Be good to each other~」
『Wafu』『Gau』『Pii』
Putting aside the appearances, I prepare a collar for Vector at once . Would a matching one with Joule and others alright?
◇ ◇ ◇
When I got out of the sea, I fixed our soaking wet appearances with life magic’s《Washing》and《Dry》 .
After that I prepared the magic tools for Vector――A similar collar and bracelet Joule and Feat have .
「Here comes~ There~」
『Wafu』
「Here as well~ There~」
『Gau』
Vector became completely familiar with everyone and begun to play on the sandy beach .
Right now, Allen and Elena are throwing balls made of wood, and the contracted beasts are fetching them .
「Vector too~」
「Here comes~」
『Garu』
After Joule’s and Feat’s turn, it was Vector’s turn next . But――
「「Are~?」」
「O, oi? Vector, where are you going~?」
Vector went past the thrown ball and started vigorously running . And then, he suddenly disappeared from my sight .
Should I chase after him? While thinking so, Vector immediately returned .
「………?」
N? Vector is holding something in his mouth…… Wwha!!?
「Uwa! Vector . What’s that in your mouth!?」
Vector came with a person in his mouth .
It’s a woman . Vector holds a woman by the nape of her neck and running while dragging her body along .
When seeing from afar, I though it was blood because I saw red . However, it wasn’t blood, but her long red hair .
Don’t startle me like that…… I thought for a moment that Vector had bitten a person to death .
When Vector returned to my side, goron, he dropped the person in his mouth on the ground .
「He, hey! Are you all right!?」
I confirm the woman’s safety in a panic .
There was no response when I shook with her . It’s no doubt that she’s alive, but…… has she blacked out?
「……… Zzz」
No, wrong…… she’s sleeping… huh…… .
「「Sleeping~?」」
「…… Seems like it」
Munyamunya, I can hear a faint sleeper’s breath . How can she sleep so soundly in such situation?
This, is she really just sleeping? But, I don’t see any external wounds~
「Uu…… hungry……」
…… Moreover, it appears that she’s hungry . How carefree~
First of all, let’s confirm her status――

Truly startling contents .
Rather, she’s a demon! Moreover, a vampire!
Demons on Aetherdia have the same treatment as the coexisting Elves and Dwarves . Hostile against humans or worshipping Maou that wants to destroy the world…… they are not such beings . There are just fewer in numbers than other races while living longer lives .
At a glance, this person is no different from a human . Moreover, she seems to be of the same generation as me, yet she’s 147 years old . How long was the life span of vampire again? Were they able to easily live past a millennium?
Her skill composition is incredible!
It may be just my imagination, but her skills are as if an assassination was her family business . She’s actually an operative .
「Vector, was this person collapsed over there?」
『Garu』
「I see」
Vector purred proudly for some reason . He probably tried to give a helping hand .
「But, Vector . Dragging along is no good . This is a sandy beach, you could have injured her」
『Garu~n…』
Vector is obviously disheartened .
「N, no, I’m not angry . Be more careful next time, okay?」
『Garu!』
I’m not angry, but I must discipline him, so he doesn’t go around picking up strange things . I thought such .
Nevertheless, what to do about this person……
――Guu~~~
……………
It’s almost noon, shall I prepare the lunch~
The meal would get covered with sand here so let’s move somewhere else first……
