I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Hoohoo, thank you for your hard work, little Eve."

Listening to Eve's sigh, Elizabeth erased the marks of the abysses on the map and smiled at Eve.

"So, will Little Eve stay in the inner castle tonight? Or will she go find Little Tina?"

"Phew—I'll go make arrangements with Mioa first and then go to Tina's place. As for Qianmian's whereabouts, I'll leave it to Mother to decide. She should have a lot of useful information."

"Hmm? Little Eve isn't interested in this pet? She's clearly on her leash?"

Elizabeth immediately started joking when she heard Eve mention the Thousand Faces.

"Mom! Go! I'm not interested in that!"

Upon hearing this, Eve's face suddenly turned red and she clapped her hands on the table.

"Okay, since Mother doesn't know yet, go ahead and send Mioa off and then go find Tina."

"Well, goodbye, mother~"

bump--

As the door closed, the smile on Elizabeth's face slowly faded, and she began to sort out the things she wanted to ask Qianmian.

She is the leader of most experiments among the Demon God's followers, the leader of experiments on the Demon God's will possession body, and has the method to eliminate the erosion of the Demon God's power. With the blessing of these titles, even if we cannot get much information about the Demon God's followers' plans from her, she is still very valuable, especially at this point in time.

Little Eve really brought her a surprise as promised.

On the other side, Eve also went to the palace to pick up Mioa, and began to rush towards the small village outside the city where Liberle lived. This time, Eve did not choose to notify Liberle, but gave her a surprise at that time.

Although this surprise soon turned into a shock for Eve.

On the way to the village, Eve began to explain to Mioa the reasons for what happened to her and the situation of everyone in the village.

"So similar things have happened to them as they did to me, Lady Eve?"

After listening to Eve's story, Mioa asked softly.

"It's not exactly the same. They had a mental breakdown due to physical torture, but it's basically the same. The residents there are not humans, but beastmen, vampires, succubi, and other races. They may have some characteristics that are different from humans, but they are all easy to get along with. Mioya, just don't be too surprised."

"Then were they all rescued by Lady Eve?"

"Yes, I rescued them all when I destroyed the Demon God's followers' stronghold."

"Is that so? Then I believe I can get along well with them."

Mioa smiled as she spoke.

"Eh? Why?"

"Um... because we were all saved by Lady Eve?"

"What kind of excuse is that?"

Shaking her head with a smile, Eve glanced at the scenery outside the car window, straightened her clothes and said.

"Okay, we're here."

§70 Statue

"Okay, this is the small village."

When the two arrived at their destination, it was already evening and the sky was quite dark. The street lights would be turned on soon, and a bright moon was hanging in the sky, emitting bright light. Eve held Mioa's hand and stood at the entrance of the village. She looked into the village and began to give a brief introduction.

"There are many empty houses here. Mioya, just pick one you like, clean up the dust, and move in."

It has been a while since Eve last came here, but nothing has changed here.

When Eve visited that time, there were no patients in the village hospital. Everyone had regained consciousness under the care of others. After that, Eve never encountered anyone who was abducted by the devil's followers for experiments, so there had been no new residents in this small village for a long time.

Although this should be considered good news, after all, no new residents means no new victims.

"Over there are the square, the hospital, and the auditorium. They're all located in the center of the village. The village manager also lives there. Her name is Liber, and she's a bit..."

Thinking of Libel's obsession with her, Eve was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to describe it.

"Yes... um... Anyway, she's someone with some peculiar hobbies. Mio, be prepared and don't be too surprised. Apart from those hobbies, she's pretty reliable."

"Weird hobby?"

"Well, to put it simply, that guy likes to make all kinds of decorations based on me. Mio, don't be too surprised."

"Are these decorations based on Lady Eve? That seems understandable..."

But after hearing what Eve said, Mioa looked quite understanding, nodded slightly and muttered something under her breath.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"Ah, nothing."

Hearing Eve's question, Mioa quickly shook her head to indicate that there was nothing wrong.

"Well... then I'll continue."

Seeing that Mioa had no intention of explaining, Eve did not pursue the matter and continued to talk about the situation in the village.

"There are no shops or anything like that here. If you need anything, just apply directly and it will be delivered later. Aside from not being able to leave the village, there aren't many inconveniences. After all, everyone's identity is quite sensitive, and they have many traces of experiments on their bodies. Considering the possible problems, we can't let them live completely freely."

"Yeah, I can understand that."

After nodding slightly, Mioa looked around curiously at the empty streets and asked.

"But aren't there many people living here? Why haven't I seen anyone?"

"Hmm...it's not a lot, about two hundred people, but it does seem a bit strange to say that..."

No matter how few people there were, it was indeed strange that they had almost reached the center of the village and still hadn't seen anyone else.

Thinking of this, Eve released her perception and began to explore where everyone else was.

"Um...ah, they're all in the auditorium."

For some reason, all the people in the village gathered in the auditorium, and no one knew what they were doing. Thinking of this, Eve took Mioa's hand and said.

"Let's go and take a look. We can also introduce you to them."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Lady Eve."

"Little things, little things~"

squeak-

When the two of them slipped in through the small door at the side of the auditorium, they did not attract anyone's attention. At this time, everyone's attention in the auditorium was attracted by Libel who was in the front row, but the next second Eve felt that her blood pressure was about to explode.

Because behind Libel, there stood a huge statue.

Well, the protagonist is Eve.

Although there are some artistic processing, it is absolutely clear at a glance that the statue is Eve herself, not any other vampire royal family member.

After all, that kind of magic power that scatters in particle form is something that other royal families do not have.

"Eve...Mistress?"

Looking at the statue in the auditorium, Mioa's expression was quite confused. After all, in her opinion, Eve should not like this kind of thing.

"...They did it themselves. No wonder I felt like the back of the auditorium was a little empty when I came here before..."

Recalling the feeling when she came to the auditorium earlier that something seemed to be missing, Eve rubbed her brows with a headache.

So it wasn't her illusion.

Since Eve had always informed Libel and the others in advance every time she came here, she gave them the opportunity to hide the statue, but this time her sudden visit caught them off guard.

But what made Eve even more upset was that at this moment, Libel was giving a passionate speech to the people below at the front of the auditorium.

“…So Princess Eve is the most perfect being in this world!”

"As those saved by the princess, we also need to respect her!"

"..."

While listening to Libel's speech on the stage, Mioa looked at Eve, whose face was already flushed, with a strange look.

"Lady Eve? Are you... okay?"

"Hmm? Of course it's good."

As she spoke, Eve's face once again plastered with a bright smile, which made Mioa shudder all over.

"Mioya, wait here for a moment. I'll go take care of that guy and be right back."

After saying that, without waiting for Mioa to respond, Eve appeared directly behind Liber.

"So, Princess..."

At this time, Libel continued to speak unawares, not noticing that there was an extra person behind her, until she found it strange that the other people sitting in the audience had shifted their eyes behind her.

"Hmm? What's behind me..."

Liber turned around and saw Eve with a kind smile on her face, and her words got stuck in her mouth before she could finish them.

"Huh? Why don't you continue?"

"My dear Princess, why did you come here so suddenly..."

"Well... I was originally here to see off a new resident, but I stumbled upon some interesting scenes."

As she spoke, Eve looked at the statue behind her.

"It's very realistic, but why don't you let me see it?"

“Uh…haha…”

Faced with Eve's questioning, Libel could only laugh and laughed it off, not daring to take up the conversation at all.

Although she felt a little overwhelmed that her image had been carved into a statue for people to worship, Eve could still feel how much effort the statue's maker had put into it.

"Forget it. I can ignore the statue, but don't hold these kinds of gatherings anymore. I don't really like them."

To be honest, the atmosphere in the audience at that time had a religious feeling, but Eve just didn't like religion.

"Yes!"

Like a suspect who had heard a not guilty verdict, Libel perked up immediately when she saw that Eve had no intention of pursuing the matter, and nodded quickly.

Eve's gaze shifted to where she and Mioa were previously and waved.

"Mioya, come up here, I'll introduce you to everyone!"

§71 Overnight Stay Outside the City

"Mioya, come up here, I'll introduce you to everyone!"

Following Eve's shout, everyone in the auditorium turned their eyes to Mioa, who had walked in at some point. She felt a little uncomfortable with so many curious looks.

However, just as Eve said, none of the people present were human.

Not to mention the iconic ears of the beastmen, the slender tails behind the succubi are also quite eye-catching. As for those who look very similar to humans, they are probably the vampires.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Mioa took a step forward and walked quickly to the front of the auditorium under the gaze of everyone, and then stood in front of Eve.

"Let me introduce you. This girl's name is Mioa. Something similar happened to her as you did. Now she's a little distrustful of others, so I'm leaving her in your care."

"That's it..."

Hearing Eve say something similar to you, Libel immediately understood why Eve brought Mioa here, and then nodded seriously in front of Eve, which was rare.

"Don't worry, Princess. I'll take care of her."

"That's good. I have some things to do here, so I can't stay here today. See you later."

The information about the imperial capital that she learned from Qianmian was from more than a week ago, so Eve needed to rush to the imperial capital to investigate as soon as possible and could not stay here.

Eve said as she rubbed Mioa's little head again.
