It seemed as if Flayr and Noirenn liked the vampire girl, and Ruby was also enjoying their presence. I suppose she is just a girl that wanted to make friends at long last. I don't know her background completely, so I don't know what she went through or anything.
But who the hell would throw their kid into the wilderness out of nowhere? I fear there might have been some conspiracy going on, or something…
This girl might be more important than it seems. And her potential as a Vampire seems quite amazing, I can't help but want to see how far it could reach… Like a game character sort of deal- Wait, I shouldn't really think like that.
Anyways, my inner father instincts, which had developed as I took care of the kids and the baby Suu, are giving me more compassion over a stranger than I should have…
Wait, I am actually very compassionate, damn it.
"For now we are going into the Dungeon, so we are leaving," I said, after Rakasha paid for the equipment he brought, of course, I had gifted him some too.
"Alright, Ruby, let's go back to the hut." Said Rakasha.
"Eeeh? But it has barely been half an hour!" protested Ruby.
"Ruby, Flayr, and Noirenn can come to visit you tomorrow… Do you girls want to?" asked Benladann.
"Yeah! Ruby is interesting." Said Flayr.
"She's small!" said Noirenn.
After all, Flayr and Noirenn, despite being very young, not even at double digits, were already above a meter tall, while Ruby was still small, not even reaching a meter yet… despite being older.
"Tomorrow… Will you come? I will prepare you something yummy to eat!" said Ruby.
"Eh? She can cook?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah, she likes to do things while in the hut, more so often she cooks me to lunch and dinner and even sews clothes and stuff… I don't ask her to do any of this." Said Rakasha.
"I do it because it is very boring to stay at home!" said Ruby.
"I see. Well, from tomorrow onwards we can come to meet you with the girls. We can also bring more of the kids." I said.
"R-Really?!" asked Ruby.
"Yeah, why not?" I asked as I petted her. She was cute.
"T-Thank you, uncle!" she said with a cute smile, showing her sharp vampiric fangs while smiling.
"Here, take this, it is a special blood I have gotten from a mystical creature I slew," I said, as I decided to give a bottle of my own blood to Ruby. This blood is often kept for the use of alchemy magic. My own dragon blood is an excellent ingredient to make potions, which I was going to sell too.
"Ooh! It looks so fresh!" she said while licking her lips.
"E-Eh? You're being so generous…" said Rakasha.
"That's because I consider you a good friend, and I am sometimes way too nice with cute girls," I said.
"Hahaha! I guess we have something in common. I think you're perhaps the nicest man I've met in a long while, Drake… Take care!" said Rakasha, giving me his hand.
"Sure thing, see you tomorrow."
After the whole incident, Ruby was led back to the hut with Rakasha, and I sneaked in another Slime Clone I made in the get-go, using one of my hands, I used Body Transformation and made it into a slime, jumping over Ruby's clothes. It is just a way to look over her, so she doesn't do crazy stuff.
I believe this little girl might bring a lot of interesting events, so I don't want anything to happen to her until then.
And maybe if she drinks my blood, she can get some extra Abilities and maybe even a Dragon Mark, who knows?
For now, this is enough though.
After this incident, we walked towards the gate of the walls and I paid the hefty fee to pay for all these people to enter, the guards looked at us super weird, but I said that they were members of my Sect, which had already been registered. Leaking a bit of my Rank 3 Mana Core essence also made them very serviceable all out of a sudden.
There wasn't any law that said anything against other races than Ice Giants, actually, but it was so deeply engraved into their minds that other races of "small ones" were used as slaves that the people looked at them weird when they were not wearing collars of slavery. Truly, this whole sect city is pretty rotten.
Through the way, we also saw a few sect members walking around with their slaves, which often worked as close servants similar to maids, butlers, and the like, and other times as… well, sexual partners.
Tisha and Pekora crossed glances with more than one of these slaves, as some were ice elves and rabbit-kin, and looked at me with worried expressions.
"Geez, I get it, we'll get to rescue them eventually. But unlike the outside, inside the sect everything is different. Everyone is way stronger, and the Elder is at average at Rank 3, you know?" I told them through telepathy.
The two nodded happily, just by telling them that I would "eventually" rescue them made them happy, so much that Pekora waved her very little bunny tail, and Tisha's pointy ears moved around happily.
Now the question is how exactly I would do that…
Well, for starters, I began to distribute Slime Clones all around the sect city, only small ones made with little split souls, while I also sent a stronger one to every slave I saw. My soul ended quite exhausted, but I was going to recover by eating the souls of the monsters inside the dungeon.
However, before that, we made a quick stop at the local market, and I went to sell my items to a shopkeeper of equipment. The woman that attended me looked like a sexy ice giant witch, and she bought everything while drooling in fascination over my creations.
"Oh my! I am going to make a fortune reselling this!" she laughed.
She still paid me fairly, and got around 500k Mana Stones, which was enough for around a week or more of food, I can produce more equipment through the days.
I had considered selling her a spatial bag, but I decided to not for now.
