21. Iron-blooded Orphans

Subtitle: Chaldean Orphans

[Information that should be disclosed currently]

[After reading the plot related to Mash that was described before, I suddenly thought that ‘it seems possible to write it like this’, so I wrote it like this]

[The answer will be revealed in the next chapter]

☆Text☆

Lilim is looking for her prey.

There are three expected targets for the best prey - 'writers'.

Bram, Lewis, Helena.

Originally, I should have added Conan Doyle. However, as the author of "The Sherlock Holmes", since Sherlock Holmes is a historical figure who does exist in the mysterious world, he must be the same as Sherlock Holmes. Do you know Doctor Watson as well?

Since the help of Sherlock is sought, Conan Doyle is naturally excluded from the list.

Bram, as the author of Count Dracula, can even be regarded as the creator of the "vampire" in terms of occult concepts.

Before this, in the mysterious world, "creatures with the habit of sucking human blood" were generally defined as "vampires". Vampires and vampires cannot be confused. After all, according to classification, most mountain spirits in the East Monsters are all 'vampires'.

Bram created the concept of vampires in the true sense, and gradually improved the various habits of vampires as a fantasy creature, giving them stereotypes such as the 'nobles of the night'.

Was Bram a magician with mysterious knowledge during his lifetime, or was he just an ordinary person who accidentally learned some inside stories about the 'Dead Apostles', 'True Ancestors', and the 'Millennium City', and then wrote such a story? ?

In fact, the concept of 'vampires' created by Bram has already had an impact on the 'Dead Apostles' that exist in reality. Because of the constraints of popularity, it can even be said to be a world-wide curse.

Of course, although the Dead Apostles are similar to the vampires in the story, they are fundamentally different.

It doesn't matter whether Bram is a magician or an ordinary person.

As long as she transforms him into a ghost or a heroic spirit, and then eats him, Lilim is absolutely sure to gain the ability to create and control vampires.

This is the power that most people think of as the ‘true ancestor of the vampire in the story’.

The real True Ancestor is very different from the 'Vampire True Ancestor' in the story. The real True Ancestor is more like an astral life transformed from the soul of the earth - something like a 'Giant of Light'.

It doesn't matter if Bram doesn't have this power. Lilim only needs to use that writer's power to 'write (create)' it after eating 'Vampire Writer Bram'.

Then there's Lewis.

The author of Alice in Wonderland has a lot of negative news related to "young girls".

Theoretically speaking, he should be the easiest person to find besides Sherlock Holmes, because all of his behaviors that would be labeled as a perverted lolita in later generations happened in the photo studio he opened in London.

Just look for the place name.

There's a serious problem with Lewis, though.

Among the rumors related to him, a message once appeared. It is said that people often encounter him acting under the name "Louise Anna".

Louise Anna is the female version of the name Lewis.

In other words, Lewis Carroll might actually be a woman named Louise Anna Carroll.

Although her idiosyncrasy of taking nude and artistic photos of young girls cannot be dismissed, if she were a woman, she might just be a pervert.

However, the real problem is that there are some bad rumors about Louise Anna.

Not those moral or life issues.

It is related to her work "Alice in Wonderland".

A man who knew nothing about the mysterious world took too much drugs and hallucinated, and he vaguely described "the fairyland world that really exists deep in the underground of London" - or something, it was really too ridiculous.

But what if she is actually a woman, and a witch, a witch with a connection to the ‘fairy tale’ element?

Similar rumors have actually always existed.

In fact, the witch of the "fairy tale genealogy" did live in seclusion in London during the Victorian era, but she left London in the 20th century and went to Japan to live in seclusion.

But the fairy tale witch of this era is still somewhere in London.

Moreover, the existence of witches is different from what many people think. They are not 'daughters of the devil' or 'women who use magic'. A witch is a witch, not a title or identity, but a 'race' that resembles human women.

If creatures such as Western dragons and unicorns are 'fantasy species', the witch is more like an Eastern dragon species, an existence similar to a 'mythical species'.

Especially the witch from the fairy tale family, who is said to be born with the ability to use some kind of 'magic' power.

It is precisely because of these various relationships that rumors that the author of "Alice in Wonderland" is a woman and that Louise Anna is a fairy tale witch have never stopped.

If this legend is true, the fairy tale witch Louise Anna should have the fighting power of a god-level servant.

"In other words, she should be prepared to have multiple 'familiars' with god-level combat power around her."

Heading towards the remote areas of London, Lilim talked about it quite proudly.

"You actually know so much." Kikyo said this in a very calm tone.

"When BB designed me, this knowledge was 'default installed' in my database, so I think it must be useful at this time. Anyway, let's go to Bram, who has the lowest risk factor. I remember In fact, he is not very rich, and his real fame will have to wait until "Count Dracula" is written, but that was in 1897, and it is only 1888 now, so it is probably in this direction."

Lilim muttered, leading the way while rummaging through the data in his brain database.

At this time, Kikyo asked a question in his usual tone.

"What about Helena? Why don't you continue with her information?"

"Helena. Her words are quite special. According to the information given by BB, she may be a 'magician' who has reached the 'magic field', but the magic she masters is quite special. It is said to be original and related to the universe (UFO). Magic can be used to move in light-year units using a spell called [Any Door]. Unless you are lucky, you are unlikely to find it."

"It doesn't sound like someone we can defeat right now."

"It's hard to say. The magician is not a magician. Even if she has mastered magic-level spells, she may not have enough combat power to match her. In fact, she was killed by the Magician Association."

"How did the Magicians Association kill her, no, how did they catch her with the [Any Door]?"

"The details are unclear. It is said that she once teamed up with that Sherlock Holmes to annihilate the Enforcement Force of the Magicians Association in the Himalayas. However, shortly after that, the Magicians Association sent someone she used to treat as a child. A student approached her, and she died like that at the hands of her own child (student)."

".Sounds like the dereliction of duty by the great detective named Sherlock Holmes." Kikyo frowned, and her evaluation of the famous detective fell somewhat in her heart.

Lilim shrugged: "I think this humiliating way of death is very much like a 'hero' style."

"You think this way of dying is very 'heroic'?"

Kikyo seemed in disbelief.

However, Lilim couldn't help but say something sarcastic.

for example:

"Kikyo, isn't it because of the villain's conspiracy that you mistakenly believed that your lover betrayed you, so you fell in love and killed each other?"

"."

Kikyo was silent.

Although she knows that this is just her own 'setting', it is still very difficult for a being like her to really agree with this.

After Lilim made habitual sarcastic remarks - this was the basic setting written in her personality data - her attention was diverted to Kikyo.

At this time, Platycodon, who was following Lilim, had hidden her body through the transformation into a spirit child, but in Lilim's eyes, some strange creatures appeared around the platycodon floating translucently beside her.

Familiar? Or a shikigami? They were some strange, bug-like creatures, and there were an unexpected number of them. They caught the strange light and flew around Platycodon and Lilim.

"what are these?"

"[Dead Soul Insects] seem to be my familiars in the setting. They can guide weak undead souls to me, and then be absorbed by my body as my magic power supplement. It seems that this is also what I have in the 'original story' set up."

Kikyo paused and added:

"Because you, as my master, are weak and unable to provide magic power, I must replenish magic power in this way when Lu Mingfei is not around."

"Then I'm really sorry. I'll replenish your magic power after eating Bram. Really, I could barely endure it, but after swallowing that adult and spitting it out, my prey I can't hold back the urge anymore, I have to eat something quickly. Speaking of which, how efficient are you at replenishing magic power through the dead soul insects? Is it high? Can you let me try it too?"

Kikyo suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds of abrupt silence, Kikyo answered Lilim's question in a stiff tone, seemingly shaken:

". Very high, unnaturally high. This is obviously such a prosperous big city, but the recovery rate of undead is even higher than the battlefield I know. It is so unnatural and strange."

Kikyo lowered her voice: "There are too many undead souls here."

"To the extent that it makes you feel abnormal?"

"It's not just too much, because I haven't eaten souls from other places, so I'm not sure, but I always feel that the quality of the 'souls' in this city is too high. Just a little bit can make me use the treasure." If I stay in this kind of place all the time, with my characteristics, I might be able to fire the Noble Phantasm an infinite number of times."

"That's great. It will be a great thing for our next 'hunting' operation -"

While looking for Bram with a relaxed mood, she thought about Lilim who "will use his power to hunt several other writers after eating Bram", and Kikyo who followed her silently.

The two men's steps suddenly stopped.

The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet.

Although Lilim did deliberately choose a sparsely populated place to walk, the quietness was too unusual.

The strangest thing was the sudden mist.

"Although London is a foggy city, this amount is too abnormal."

Lilim cautiously took out a few charms from her arms and got into a fighting stance.

The most unnatural thing was not the concentration of the fog, but that the fog seemed to have the function of blocking detection methods. All the detection methods that Lilim and Kikyo originally spread out were ineffective.

When Lilim and Kikyo were alert.

"——Mikazuki! We agreed, let me do it this time! No matter what, you are not allowed to take action!"

Suddenly, a girl's figure appeared in the mist.

Then, in a small alley filled with mist, four children who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old appeared.

The four girls look similar. At first glance, they look like quadruplets, but their temperaments are completely different. Their hair color is whitish lavender, and their pupils are deep purple like amethyst.

The girl who was walking in the front was the girl who just shouted. She looked a little taller than the other sisters. She was walking in the front, staring at Lilim and Kikyo in front of her.

Can you see the spiritual form of Platycodon?

No, that's not the point. The point is, Lilim and Kikyo realized something the moment they appeared on the stage.

(Do these four children all have the aura of Servants?)

Except for the child named 'Mikazuki', the other three children surrounded Lilim and Kikyo from three directions. The child named Mikazuki was a little careless and not only did not participate in the surrounding, but also played with his hands. A slender branch was leaning on the wall, and he was drawing something on the ground with the branch as if he was bored.

(.What to do?) Kikyo asked Lilim in her mind.

(Isn’t this just right? Although it feels strange, the spiritual reactions coming from these children are not strong. I am afraid they are weak servants or phantoms. Or maybe they are clones like Jack?)

(So?) Kikyo asked.

(Just in time! Before finding those ‘writers’, let me ‘eat’ them first!)

Kikyo sighed silently in her heart. Since the attacker could see her, Kikyo no longer needed to hide. She appeared directly and silently drew her Japanese-style bow.

Although Lilim had already made up her mind to eat them, she still pretended to be confused on the surface and wanted to try to ask the reason why these children surrounded her.

However, the other party had no intention of communicating.

The lead girl, who looked the strongest, turned to look at the thinnest one.

"One, are you sure you heard it right?"

The girl called One sniffed the air with her nose.

Lilim and Kikyo also subconsciously sniffed it.

Hmm. At some point, there was an extra smell that looked like gardenia in the air.

Kikyo whispered: "It's the breath of the dead. It was already very strong, but now it becomes even more unnatural."

The girl named One nodded vigorously after confirming something.

"That's right! They smell like bad people who want to do bad things! And the smell of dead people is very strong. They must be going to kill people! Bad people who want to cause trouble to Uncle Lestrade!"

"That's good!"

The tall girl looked more motivated.

"One! Two! You two watch both sides and don't let these two bad guys escape! Mikazuki! You must not take action! This time it's my turn, I must use my precious phantom, with you and Wei Jin Si got the same name!"

The child she called Mikazuki still looked uninterested.

By the way, this name is really weird. If it can be considered a name.

Lilim still smirked and tried to communicate.

However.

"Shut up! You criminal! We have nothing to talk about with an evil master like you who summons heroic spirits to try to destroy the world! We are the ones who will definitely become the servants of the righteous master in the future!"

What are you talking about?

Total refusal to communicate.

It seems that whether they eat each other or want to find out their origins, a battle is inevitable.

The kid called One pulled out a huge knight's gun from nowhere.

A strange-looking bow appeared in Two's hand.

The tall girl, if nothing else, should be called Three. In her hand is a huge sword that is almost half the size of her body.

Although it looks like she can swing it easily.

But the current battlefield is the white-walled area in a remote area of ​​London - a place close to what is commonly known as a slum. Although it can be considered empty, it is still only an alley.

This place is also famous for something else.

That was the original location of the 'Jack the Ripper' case.

No matter how powerful she was, using a sword to fight in a place like this was still too forceful.

Three took a deep breath.

——The magic power instantly ushered in an explosive growth!

This magic power was not only 'strong', but also had a particularly 'sparkling' quality. The dazzling magic power turned into flames and overflowed. For a moment, Lilim thought she saw a little sun.

But it's still too weak.

Three did not perform any special operations. He simply concentrated his magic power, strengthened his body, and made the muscles on his body bulge, and then charged forward with his sword straight up!

Then?

Then nothing happened.

Kikyo raised her hand, and as the miko's spiritual power exploded, the spiritual power of Three, which was far beyond what was in front of her, exploded, turning into invisible chains, easily restraining Three.

Even though Three suppressed his blush, and his muscles and magic power continued to increase, the restraints still didn't move at all.

This made Lilim feel a little strange: "Are you that strong? No, or is the other party really that weak?"

"It's strange" Kikyo seemed to feel something was wrong, "This child, who is like a 'sun', would actually be 'specially attacked' by me at the level of attributes. I'm afraid she won't be able to exert one-tenth of her combat power in front of me. Wait a minute. , let me think about it, in my setting, the type of enemy I am best at dealing with is "

Kikyo was still hesitant, but Lilim was decisive in killing in the literal sense.

The opportunity was right in front of her, and after being whetted by Lu Mingfei, she was already hungry and thirsty.

The predatory organ took off its disguise and emerged from behind Lilim's waist. As soon as the disgusting tentacles appeared, everyone except the child named Mikazuki showed expressions of shock and fear.

Lilim's own face was filled with excitement and joy due to the music, causing her smile to twist into a ball.

First food.

"I started moving~"

Even though he was restrained by the miko's chains and the monster girl's predatory organ tentacles, Three still did not give up the struggle and continued to release magic power and increase his power.

One and Two tried to stop them, but Lilim once again showed her cunning. The spells in her hand instantly turned into two small machine guns - the spells were just disguises, they were transformed by Jack! Just to make people think that the weapon in Lilim's hand has no long-range output capability!

A barrage of bullets hit the two girls.

"The game of the Justice Envoy is over! The little devils who came here out of nowhere!"

Lilim is about to devour Three.

"How can you lose to evil people like this? Why can't you use your strength? Damn it! I am, I am the one who saves the world -"

Three, who struggled desperately in the mouthparts of Lilim's predatory organ, did not give up until the last moment. She roared angrily and with an unwilling voice, accompanying the desperate situation on the verge of death, the words she shouted were:

"——I am a servant of Chaldea!!!"

Lilim: "!!???"

Who the hell are you! ?

☆

In the detective agency, next to Lu Mingfei, who was exchanging information with Matthew and Merlin, the little devil suddenly appeared after a long absence.

"Brother, do you know? There is one thing I hate the most."

"." Lu Mingfei decided to pretend not to see him or hear him.

But the little devil said to himself: "That is, I obviously made an investment, but before I could recover the results, the fruits I planted died."

".What do you want to say?"

"Lilim may die if something is not done."

"???What happened? Don't scare me? Why didn't she contact me if something really happened?"

The little devil did not answer Lu Mingfei's question: "Brother, haven't you thought of one thing? Because Holmes is a detective, he naturally occupies the position of 'detective' in the story, but what about Matthew? Why is Matthew Occupying the position of 'Wiggins', the kid from the 'Baker Street Squad' who was the prototype for 'The Boys'?"

"Brother, do you still remember when you fought the troll yesterday? This is a children's story, so when children are active, adults will become dull and pass by the 'main story', thus giving children They provide a stage for performance.”

"Brother, Sherlock Holmes is a story about Sherlock Holmes, but we are now in a children's story, so the real protagonists of this story are naturally children, the children around Sherlock Holmes."

Lu Mingfei couldn't stand the little devil's Riddler behavior.

So he waved his hand, interrupted the original topic somewhat rudely, and asked Holmes directly:

"I suddenly have a question. Can you tell me, apart from Wiggins played by Matthew, who are the other children in the Baker Street team?"

"Other children? If there are no villains in your team as you said, they probably won't look at your expression. It seems like something is wrong."

Holmes bit the small pipe in his hand, and then looked at Matthew.

"Rather than me, let Mashu say it, it's better to say that this is your Chaldean 'family affair', right? After all, those children are orphans from Chaldea just like you, Mikazuki Isn’t it right for you to get the name of Matthew?”

"? I chose the name Mikazuki based on the animated story that Senior Brother Lu likes. Because they felt that they were the subordinates of Director Olga of Chaldea, they took the name 'Mikazuki Augustus'. "

Lu Mingfei: "Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand very well! Why does the name of the character in "Iron-Blooded Orphans" suddenly appear! And our director is called Olga Marie It’s not called Olga!”
