To become a king and a magician

This is the current state of the Lostbelt group.

After living in Chaldea for a year, the five of them came to Kanbuko City on Merry's advice and took over the long-defunct Garan no To Office, reopening it as an Odd Jobs Shop.

It is named "The House of Camelot: Rebirth".

3. Arrest the vampire

Morgan put down the ledger in his hand for the moment and looked at the two people who walked into his office and firm.

"It's only Thursday, not the weekend workday yet. What brings you here all of a sudden?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu work for Morgan.

It was Meryl who introduced them. Because the living expenses and even the tuition fees for university were a bit too much for a family, the two of them wanted to ease the burden on their family. As a result, Meryl introduced them to Morgan.

At the time, Morgan's Camelot House had only recently opened and was in need of staff, so he hired the two of them and assigned them some work.

Specifically, it means...

Exorcising spirits in abandoned factories, dealing with lurking evil magicians, investigating cheating men and collecting evidence, helping children find their cats and dogs—these kinds of jobs fall under the scope of the two people's part-time work.

Due to their studies, the two of them usually only come on weekends. Although they started taking fewer classes after entering their junior year, their internships and graduation theses still took up most of their time, so they could only come on weekends.

Fujimaru Ritsuka placed the snacks she had bought at the station on the table and said with a smile, "I heard from Mashu that Ria came back to see you guys these past few days, and I had some things I wanted to ask her, so I rushed over—by the way, where is everyone? Why is it just you, President?"

"He went out to do business and landed a big order."

Morgan said.

Artoria Caster, Bagst, Melusin, and Bavan Shi are the only employees of the House of Camelot. Morgan has not recruited outsiders in recent years, as too many outsiders would cause trouble, and she does not want her firm to have any more shady characters.

Even now, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu are only working part-time jobs.

Incidentally, Caster and Bavan Shi are both juniors of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash. After arriving in Kabushi City from Chaldea, the two were assigned to high school, two years ahead of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Because they had been taught by Morgan and Natsukawa Torato, and had also learned a lot in Chaldea the previous year, their high school life went smoothly without any major incidents. At most, their outstanding good looks caused a few disturbances.

For example, one Valentine's Day, the whole class of boys gave the two of them chocolates by bowing deeply, hoping to receive a return gift on White Day. In the end, Bavan Shi and Caster brought a life-size chocolate statue to school. Well, this happened after Fujimaru Ritsuka graduated, and she had only heard about it, so there must have been some exaggeration.

However, their school life was limited to high school. After graduating from high school, they officially started working for the House of Camelot.

The same goes for Melousin and Bagst; however, compared to Bavan Hill and Caster, who are more normal in appearance, those two are not really suited to be on the public stage.

After all, one is an incredibly cute and adorable old loli, and the other is a walking, suffocatingly sexy machine. Both of them are capable of causing the crime rate in Guanbuzi City to skyrocket. Releasing them out would be disastrous. Therefore, Morgan simply assigned them to do shady work.

For example, when Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't come to work part-time, it was Melsin and Bagst who took care of the requests to exorcise evil spirits and deal with evil magicians.

But this time...

"Even Miss Bagst and Miss Meloshen are out on business... What kind of request could it be?" Mashu couldn't help but wonder.

Morgan picked up his cup of black tea and took a sip: "It's a joint commission, sent from Italy, asking us to help capture a vampire."

Italy?

"Is that where Sister Xier and Sister Aier are?"

"Yes. Those two accidentally let a vampire sail over here. Because the church over there is a bit troublesome, they asked us for help. He's a rather tricky guy."

Arcueid and Sierra let a vampire escape?

How could those two have failed?

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, and then Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "Do you need our help? Mashu and I are free for the rest of the week."

“Alright. By the way, if you're looking for Artoria, she's actually been helping with this. Although she originally came to visit us, after I talked to her, she offered to help. I think she's at Ogawa's apartment right now.”

Ogawa Apartment.

It was an apartment building built in Kanbushi City at the end of the last century. Its unique architectural style caused quite a stir at the time, but it was officially abandoned three years ago. Ryougi announced that it had acquired the entire apartment building and planned to demolish it soon.

"This request actually has something to do with Ryougi. A vampire has gotten into an apartment that's about to be demolished. The guy is quite annoying; he even said he'd go and kill it himself at first."

(That guy...)

(You mean Miss Ryougi, right? Miss Morgan and she don't seem to get along very well.)

(After all, it's a kind of surveillance relationship...)

This goes back to before Morgan arrived here.

The main reason why Merry suggested that the five Lostbelt members come here was because Ryougi Shiki was here. With such a reassuring watchman, even if Morgan tried to cause trouble, he would be killed with a single blow.

Morgan knew this, so he was somewhat displeased when things were related to Ryougi Shiki—but only a tiny bit, barely noticeable.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now, President."

"Okay, be careful on the road. Also, remember to bring back dinner tonight; Artoria ate all the food we had at home last night."

"We understand."

After saying this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu left Camelot's House.

After watching the two leave, Morgan took out a document from under the ledger that she had printed out after it was remotely transmitted from Italy—this was the information about the "vampire" that Hier had given her.

"A blonde female vampire who can use illusion conjure, possesses Mystic Eyes that are suspected to be at the NobleColor level, and..."

Morgan looked at the last highlighted point.

“They are familiar to all of us, and they also give them a strange sense of familiarity.”

Morgan put down the documents and turned to look at the sky outside: "I hope it can be resolved smoothly. This year is the year he will return, and I don't want to miss this last chance."

4. Ah, Auntie?!

Viewing Buzi City, Mao Jianbin.

Ogawa Apartment.

Although it is an apartment building that has been built for thirty-four years, its exterior still looks the same as before, with little change, even though its old appearance is visibly obvious.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu got out of the taxi as they arrived at the entrance of Ogawa's apartment.

"This is Xiaochuan Apartment. This is my first time here."

"Me too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka is a native of Kanbuko City, and Mashu has lived here for several years, but the two of them have never actually been to the vicinity of Ogawa Apartments. They prefer to go to the streets or large shopping malls rather than this area, and rarely come to this quiet riverside.

Moreover, the area around Xiaochuan Apartment is no longer considered a promising area for development as it was at the end of the last century, so it's normal for the population flow to decrease.

"Cast and the others should be inside the apartment building, right?"

"Hmm, I just don't know which building it is in." Fujimaru Ritsuka took out her phone and opened the file that Morgan had sent her on the way.

Ogawa Apartments was originally built for someone's purpose, and it seems that Aozaki Touko was among the designers at the time. However, shortly after its completion, that person with ulterior motives died unexpectedly, and the apartment was abandoned for two years until it was renovated and opened to residents in 1999.

The apartment's overall structure incorporates many magical theories, such as barriers, Tai Chi, and Yin and Yang. Because the chief designer is a highly skilled barrier-creating monk, this aspect has been specialized. The apartment is specifically divided into east and west sections, and each floor can only be accessed via an elevator located in the center.

Because you can't see outside from inside the elevator, and it's a rotating structure, it's easy to get lost—which is why Xiaochuan Apartment has gradually lost its residents in recent years. Due to this unique structure, children often get lost and can't be found.

Why would that vampire come here?

Mashu looked up at the apartment and asked.

Is there anything special about this place?

“No, according to the president, the magical structures and mechanisms in this apartment building were taken care of by Ryougi-san a long time ago. Now it’s just an ordinary apartment building with a slightly complicated structure.” Fujimaru Ritsuka put away her phone. “Well then, let’s hurry up and help out. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Since Ria-nee is here, we should buy more tonight, otherwise there won’t be enough for everyone to eat.”

"Bang--------!"

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was saying this, a loud bang suddenly came from the roof of Ogawa's apartment. The two of them quickly looked up and then saw a figure flying out of the apartment.

That is......

"Miss Bavan Xi?"

"I'll go catch her!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately clapped her hands, and a whirlwind surged around her, rising into the air under her control and lifting Bawan Shi's body, gently bringing her to the ground.

Jumping off the whirlwind, Bawan Shi looked at the two: "Thanks, Ritsuka—by the way, what brings you two here? Don't you have classes at university?"

"We don't have classes from today until next Wednesday, and I needed to talk to Ria-nee about something, so the club president called me here," Fujimaru Ritsuka explained. "How did you fly out? Were you knocked out by that vampire?"

Bawan Shi nodded somewhat awkwardly: "I guess so. I accidentally got kicked by her when she had an opening... It was quite troublesome. Now I know why that True Ancestor idiot and Curry moron couldn't catch her."

she?

female?

"It's good that you're here. Come in with me. The others are still fighting her inside."

"it is good!"

————————————————————————————————————

Getting to the roof of Ogawa Apartments is simple: just take the elevator all the way up to the top floor in just over ten seconds.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two arrived on the rooftop—

"Clang!"

What they saw was Melusin fighting with someone.

(Can he fight on par with Sister Meilushin? Is that vampire that powerful?)

Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu knew about Melsin's power; it had once completely overwhelmed them, yet now it couldn't even defeat a vampire.

The two couldn't help but look at the person fighting with Melusin, and at the same time, the vampire also looked at the two of them.

"Huh?"

"what?"

Both groups were stunned for a moment.

Then, the vampire was caught off guard and kicked in the chest by Melusin, who slammed him into the ground!

"Phew~~~~ That was really troublesome—are you alright? Bawan Xi? And Ritsuka and Mashu, what are you doing here too?" Melsin looked at the three of them. "By the way, could you please go downstairs and retrieve the others? They've all fallen for that vampire's trick and are all unable to move."

"It's not a trick!"

A voice that sounded somewhat childlike came from not far away.
