I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

At dawn, in the villa where Eve is temporarily staying in Driss Town.

"Welcome back, Lady Eve."

"!"

As soon as Eve emerged from the shadows and reached her room, she was startled by a sudden greeting from inside the room.

"It's Mioa, why aren't you going to bed?"

In the shadowy corner of the door, Mioa, who had previously had no sense of existence and almost merged with the shadow, was now leaning slightly towards Eve to greet her. If you didn't pay special attention, you could hardly see Mioa's figure. It seemed that her long life of pursuit and escape had given her a lot of experience in reducing her presence.

"Because... I'm always running away at night, and I'm not used to sleeping for too long..."

Hearing Eve's question, Mioa shifted her gaze slightly and looked at the bed in the corner of the room.

"Okay, I told you everything's fine here, come on over here."

As she spoke, Eve sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the inside of the bed.

"Let me tell you what happened tonight."

"…Um."

Mioa obediently and carefully climbed onto the bed from the foot of the bed, and subconsciously curled up into a small ball, trying to hide herself in the most secluded corner.

"Ugh…"

Looking at Mioya like this, Eve shook her head helplessly, then reached into her arms and gently held her little hand.

"!"

Mioya immediately held her hand tightly in return.

"Will this be better?"

"Um…"

The curled-up body relaxed slightly, and Mioa nodded imperceptibly.

"That's good."

After briefly shaking Mioa's soft little hand twice, Eve began to talk about what she had gained tonight as she had planned.

"They ran very fast. When I arrived, the demiplane had already been emptied. Judging from the traces, it must have happened after I rescued you. But tomorrow I will be able to search all the demiplanes in the town. By then, they will have nowhere to run."

"Um…"

After listening to Eve's words, Mioa was silent for a long time, and then asked softly.

"Why did Lady Eve save me then? She could have just watched me get caught. Lady Eve would have caught them long ago. Lady Eve is obviously a vampire, unlike me."

"Huh? Why bother asking so many questions? Just save her if you want to. Besides, if you hadn't saved Mioa, I wouldn't have known that the saint they were talking about was you."

Ruffling Mioa's long hair, Eve continued.

"And I'm not so cold-hearted as to turn a blind eye to a cute child like Mioa."

"Cute?! Me, me, me? Obviously... obviously, I just... just..."

After hearing Eve's praise, Mioya's cheeks quickly turned red, and she even couldn't speak clearly, which made Eve laugh.

But just as Eve was about to continue teasing Mioa, a purple-black butterfly suddenly hovered in front of her, flapping its wings slightly.

"Die'er, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"My Lord, the town is under lockdown."

"..."

Eve's smile faded away and her expression became serious in an instant. She also stopped rubbing Mioa's hair.

"It's faster than expected... Tell me more about it."

"Yes."

And then, through Dier's narration, Eve also learned what happened in the outside world...

At dawn, shortly after Eve ended her night of destruction, all the guards in the town suddenly violated the habits Eve had observed in the past few days, and left their homes collectively again. They went to the intersections of the town and blocked the roads. Then they divided some of them into teams and began to persuade some of the people who had left home early to return.

Some of the guards became mobile guards, searching every corner of the street in a grid pattern, as if they were looking for something. Several places that Eve had ravaged last night were also blocked off, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Another part of the guards came to the entrance of the town and set up a blockade, temporarily stopping people from entering and leaving. The people waiting outside the town were quite puzzled by this. After all, this was the first time such a situation had occurred since the establishment of Dris Town.

After doing this, the guards did not make any new moves for the time being, but it seemed they would not stop there.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Eve patted Mioya's little head one last time and then withdrew her hand.

"It seems they can't bear it any longer. We don't have to wait until night."

"Lady Eve..."

Looking at Eve's expression, Mioa seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about me."

Although her voice became increasingly low, Mioya still chose to speak out her thoughts. However...

Snapped--

"what!"

With an expressionless face, he flicked Mioya's smooth forehead. Hearing Mioya's scream, Eve pinched her cheek.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Just sleep here and wait for my sister to catch the mastermind behind this."

As she spoke, Eve stood up and stretched out her slender fingers to draw a small magic circle on Mioa's body.

"Okay, that's all. Just stay here and ignore whatever's going on outside. Get some sleep, and everything will be over when you wake up."

"I…"

Before Mioa could say anything else, Eve gently touched her lips with her index finger.

“Okay, sleep.

"Um…"

First, she covered her head slightly with the quilt, then pulled it down a little bit and poked out her little head. Mioa watched Eve leave her room.

After dealing with Mioya, Eve also came to the first floor and repeated the situation outside to Istina and the others. While she was speaking, new news came from Dier - the guards began to search door to door.

As for the target of their search, it was self-evident—it was Mioa who was on the second floor of the villa.

Judging from the fact that their behavior suddenly became so radical, Eve guessed that some powerful foreign reinforcements had arrived, and they felt that they were good enough to beat her who had turned the place upside down for several nights in a row.

Well, I hope the person who comes is not a small fry. She also hopes to know more about the situation here.

And on the other side…

"Master Qianmian, we have begun the home search according to your order."

A man groped his way into the house with his eyes tightly closed, and reported to the beautiful figure lying on her side in the middle of the room.

"Ah."

While continuing to carefully admire his slender fingers that seemed to be wrapped in vinyl, Qianmian nodded casually.

"Go on, and tell me if anyone stops you."

"Yes."

After the man left, Qianmian clenched his palm as if he wanted to take something into his palm, revealing a sadistic smile.

"I hope you won't bore me to death, little white mouse, for interrupting my experiment."

§60 Opening [Monthly Ticket Plus]

After the guards in the town began searching house to house, Eve used magic to project the outside world in front of everyone.

Although it was a home search that was very likely to cause dissatisfaction, most people in the town still had happy smiles on their faces and cooperated with all the actions and inquiries of the guards. The stiff smiles on both sides, like masks, made Eve frown. In comparison, the dissatisfied looks on the faces of those foreign tourists seemed much more normal.

However, there were some minor conflicts between the original residents of a few towns and the guards. Eve also saw a few familiar people among them. They were the guys who were looking for the Puppet Saint before. After the conflict with the guards, these people were taken away and taken to a nearby square or park for centralized custody.

The guards searched the hotels where the travelers were staying first, followed by the new residents, and finally the people who had lived in the town for a while. It seemed that they believed that the residents of the town would not choose to cover up Mioa privately.

That's right, since the people here would betray Mioa and hand her over after saving her, they must have already discussed it privately.

However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, it took a long time for Eve to be inspected. After all, the villa they lived in was not among the priority searches. In addition, except for the first day when they went out together, they stayed at home for the next few days. Therefore, not many people knew that they were staying there.

But it was only a matter of time before the house was raided, because even those houses where no one lived or whose owners were away were not spared from the search. The guards violently broke open the doors and then entered the house to search everywhere.

"Hmm...something seems wrong..."

Eve frowned slightly when she saw the guards turning a blind eye to the dissatisfaction of the foreign travelers.

"what happened?"

"They don't seem to care whether anyone comes here again."

This city-wide search will undoubtedly greatly dampen the mood of these tourists, but the other party seems to be completely unconcerned about this, as if it doesn't matter whether there are tourists coming in the future or not.

But Eve didn't know the real purpose of these people, so she had no way of guessing, and she didn't have time to think about it right now.

knock knock --

Accompanied by a hurried knock on the door, a smiling guard came to the door.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath and wrapping blood-colored magic around her fingertips, Eve looked in the direction of Istina.

"Tina, I'll leave this place to you to protect~"

"Well, don't worry, brave man."

With an extremely confident smile on her face, Istina looked eager to try, and it seemed that she was looking forward to sharing the pressure with Eve.

As for Istina's strength at this time, Eve was also extremely confident. After obtaining various magical inheritances in the wonderland, Istina at this time could be said to be incomparable to the past.

"Shia, Lucia and Mio are in your care. Take her up with you."

Considering Mioa's distrust of humans, the task of protecting her naturally fell on Melxia.

"Good~"

Knock knock knock——knock knock knock——

While Eve was assigning their tasks, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent. It seemed that if no one came to open the door, the other party would start banging on it.

"Then let's each start."

While gesturing to others, Eve walked towards the door and shouted.

"Coming -"

squeak-

"Hello, beautiful lady. We are going to conduct a home search. Please cooperate."

As soon as the door was opened, a guard with a happy smile came towards him. There were no other guards accompanying him. It seemed that he did not attach great importance to this place. Not far away, other guards were searching every house one by one.

After stating his purpose, the guard pretended to enter the house on his own, but was stopped by Eve.

"Wait a moment."

"Miss, please don't interfere with my mission."

Despite being obstructed, the guard's expression did not change at all and he continued to speak with a smile.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to search a house without even telling me what you're looking for?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

"Is that so? Then don't go in."

bump--

The next moment, before the guard could react, his body flew backwards and fell into the small courtyard in front of the villa. He fainted without a sound, and Eve's voice resounded over the town.
