The GM Has Logged Into A Different World - Chapter 12

Is she alive?

The body before me was stabbed with spikes in multiple places Even if she was alive, she might die any time.

ugh.

Youre alive!

The pretty silver haired woman in front of me twitched in agony. I need to open the jail quick.

Dont go into the jail!! It will absorb your life!!

A woman with fox tail surprised me.

What did you mean absorb my life?

My name is Claudia. Im a mage. That cage was designed to steal all energy from anyone inside it and kill them. Even a skilled adventurer wouldnt even last 10 seconds

Its just a little special cage

A cage that can kill anyone in less than 10 seconds.

I guess it will be troublesome if I didnt have my Invicibility.

that is right.. Just give. up on me Let me die

Like a withered leaf, the silver haired woman squirt her voice.

Limbs, shoulder, torso, every spikes on her body twitches as she moves.

Her ruby colored eyes were fixed at me. Her expression was dark, like she had given up all hope.

(TL: taking my liberty here. The line isnt really important anyway)

Any normal men would give up. Unfortunately, Im not normal

I activated Invicibility and stepped into the cage.

You really came inside. You Who are you?

In the back, Claudia raised her voice in awe.

Dont be surprised, the one in front of me is way more surprising.

Sate, for now lets pull this spike. Should I use recovery magic?

aaaa Recovery magic and potions are uselessBut How did you stay alive

Its thanks to my ability. Jaa lets start

I said it as I pulled out a silver pike.

It was a slow and painful process. Its better to pull them at once.

There were 10 silver spikes in total. I pulled the spike with one hand while supporting the silver haired woman with the other hand. If you melt all these silver, it will became a fortune.

I need to leave this cage, but I wondered if its alright to move this woman.

Now I will go back to the ship Are you alright?

Stabbed with silver spikes in multiple places.

Not affected by potions and recovery magic.

Hung on a cross.

There are a few races that popped up in my mind.

Vampire or Devil.

Both of them are often sealed.

I had thought about demons but they were in prison with me and they were effected by recovery magic.

(TL: anyone know the difference between Devil (Akuma) and Demons (Mazoku)?)

If shes a devil then she will be alright in the day, but if she was a vampire she might turn into ash or disappear.

Im fine

Eh!?! But you are a vampire

Claudia reacts to the silver haired woman before me.

She really is a vampire. But what did she meant Im fine?

I am True Vampire

No way A True Vampire only exists in legends and myths are you really

Lets talk later. Claudia, you must be tired after being in this place for so long. and You, whats your name?

My name is Adelhide Adelhide Bernstein

Souka Adelhide. It may hurt but please bear it

I hold her with princess carry and took her into the slave ship. The spikes pierced deeply into her arms and legs, even from her back to her chest. Any movements will hurt.

hey stranger you are not afraid of vampire?

Its not that Im not afraid. Its just there is no reason to be afraid. Besides, the people who done this to you are more scary

fufufu Truly a weird human

Adelhide closed her eyes and felt asleep in my arms.

It seemed that she was in a sleep deprived state while being pierced by the spikes. Was there any barrier?

I wondered why she was still alive in that cage.

Ill let her sleep on my bed for the time being

(TL: *crossesfinger* pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta)

The injured are put on the hammocks and the sofas.

Then we tied all the slave ship crew in their own ship and took all the slaves into the room.

Roxas had started cooking.

Moving quickly, he made some stomach-friendly dish like potato soup with steamed potatoes. The slaves seemed to be very hungry and they assault every greens, breads, and soup.

Barbarossa offers coffee to the adult slaves. Paddle and Peddle were distributing some sweet cafe au lait for the children. Both of them were a better choice than Barbarossa.

Sugar and milk were stocked for my coffee maker.

It never ran out anyway.

Its a mystery but its a nice ones.

Welcome back, Big Boss. If theres any leftover bread, can I have them?

Ah, I dont mind. If there are too many, we can process them into black breads

Roxas was concerned about the about the bread but Quality Improvement can fix it right up. Recently, I hit a jackpot and a bread turned into a yakisoba-pan.

I carried Adelhide into my bedroom while everyone was eating.

No, I dont plan to do anything nasty.

This is a serious injury. If she wasnt treated soon, it will turn into a trouble

Sate Shes a vampire so I cant use recovery magic Luckily, she wasnt affected by the light of the day.

But I cant move her either. Maybe Claudia knew something?

While watching Adelhide suffering in constant pain, I called out to Claudia.

Claudia must be very hungry, she took out 3 servings of soup. Right now, she was enjoying after-meal coffee.

Ara, Big Boss-san. You are really out-of-this-world. This is the first time I see a magic artifact like this. I wonder if I can examine how it works Can I do it?

That would be a very useless attempt. Anyway, Since youre a mage, you know a lot of stuffs, dont you?

Ee Im quite confident in my knowledge about magic artifacts, alchemy, and golem. And I know a bit of medicine. Does Big Boss need some information about the vampire?

Thank you for understanding so fast. Anything helpful?

I know something that might help but there will be a few consequences.

Claudia put her coffee on the table.

The other slaves are full and lying lifelessly on the sofa.

Oi oi, dont die on the sofa.

What kind of consequences?

If you leave it healing naturally it might take 1 year but looking at the wound, it might even take 3 years

3 Years? Is there any way to speed it up?

By giving her blood She would start to heal as soon as she had some blood

I see, so that will make her heal faster

However, if someone was bitten by a vampire they will turn into a vampire or lesser vampire. Big Boss dont need to go that far, no?

Becoming a vampire

Should I give it up and leave it to mother nature?

Nah Only normal people would do that.

Im not normal. I guess Im the only one who can do it.

Everything will be negated by my Status Effect Immunity.

In the original game, there were also status effect called vampirism

Very well. Lets do it.

A-are you serious? You will never be able to live under the sun! Is that alright!?!

Claudia grasped my shoulders and spilled her coffee.

But Barbarossa held her hand.

Claudia, was it? Its alright. Our Big Boss has a broken ability. Thats why everything will be alright. Even though I was a bit worried, I trusted our Big Boss.

Being comforted by Barbarossa, Claudia released my shoulders.

Then Barbarossa gave her another coffee to drink.

He was surprisingly caring.

I didnt expect it at all.

This guy even delivered coffee for his underlings who was doing night patrol.

I headed back to Adelhide who was sleeping.

She was still groaning in pain. I need to do this quickly.

I cancel Invicibility and HP/MP Auto Recovery (Mid) to let her wound me.

I cut my arm and let it bleed. It burns like hot steel.

Oi, Adelhide. Its blood Drink it. It might heal you

I shook her body and she opened her eyes.

You What are you doing? Letting me suck your blood

Thats what Claudia said a while ago. She was the fox-tailed woman from before. Its alright. Im special. So its alright for you to drink from me Hurry up, dont waste it

But

So stubborn.

Lets force her.

Now drink!!

I shoved my bleeding arm into her mouth.

I could feel her fang hitting my arm, sucking the blood into her body.

Even though she was surprised, she drank my blood with her instinct. Was it vampires reflex?

She used both of her hands to hold my arm still.

Somehow, my surrounding became hazy.

(ku Isnt this a bit too long? Is it how it feels when your HP went down?)

I took a potion from the item box and drink it to recover HP.

Then my body started to feel better.

I could feel my physical strength recovering and I could see HP Recovery (Small) and Max HP Increase (Middle) in the skill frame. Theres no worry that the wound would close because the recovery is small.

As she drank my blood, I kept drinking potion to keep my HP Recovery.

All holes on her body were closed and some few scars were visible before they were gone completely. Her complexion looked better than before, she looked like someone with a reddish complexion.

Finally, Adelhide licked my wound.

I regained some physical strength by using healing magic on myself. Even so, the blood wont recover immediately. I reactivate Invicibility.

Who are you? I never heard someone who can resist vampirism iya I must thank you first. Big Boss-dono, please accept my sincere gratitude for rescuing me from that evil cage and gave me blood to cure my injury.

Adelhide descended from the bed and kneeled deeply in front of me.

I havent realized it before, but apparently she was dressed like a knight. It seemed that her clothes are restored by blood as well.

She looked like a vampire knight.

Aa. I only tried to cause as many problem as possible for the Empire. No worries. Anyway, Masaki is fine. Everyone called me Big Boss but somehow I missed being called by my name

Its good to be called Big Boss but sometimes its better if you are called with your own name. Being called Big Boss may suit my underlings but Id like to be called by name when talking with outsider.

Souka Then Masaki-dono. Please call me Adelle. All my close acquaintance calls me that way. Its way shorter and easier to pronounce

(TL: Adel or Adelle. Vote starts now!)

Then I will call you Adelle from now on. Adelle, all your wounds are healed. Wheres your country? Id like to bring everyone who was caught to nearby ports

Suddenly her expression darkened and she hung her head.

My countrywas gone. The Empire destroyed my country and killed our king. I fought with my friends and families to let the people escape. Thats why I was caught The others are missing probably

Even if she didnt say it, I understood. You lost the war against the Empire and if youre lucky, you might escape. Maybe some of them captured as prisoners of war, but most of them had died.

Is that so Then what are you going to do? We are going north to the Saint Drag Kingdom and I will live as a pirate. But, the Empire is attacking everything so war isnt avoidable. If youre looking for your people, how about dropping off there?

Masaki-dono, Cant I come with you instead?

To take revenge to the Empire?

If I said no that would be a lie. I hate them. But My comrades would feel sorry for me if I live like that

Jaa, why do you want to come with us?

Arent you going to fight the empire? Thats why I want to prevent further tragedy. Besides You guys. Do you have connections to the kingdom?

No

Right

Honestly, theres none.

At worst, the most reasonable plan to offer rare weapons and high elixirs that I have but I need to take care since I cant replenish the stocks yet.

I have a connection in the Kingdom. Taking me will bring so much benefits. And I can fight as well. How about it? Care for a vampire who can fight under the sun?

The answer was obvious.

Having a connection is a huge impact.

Moreover, vampires are excel in combat.

Even among pirates, the Pirates of the Round Table were not good at fighting on their own.

The only mages are Paddle and Peddle. They had a good magical combination. They can sunk a war vessel with their combination of water and earth magic.

Roxas, who was familiar with Fire Magic, was great at handling Flame Blade and a shield.

Barbarossa could go berserk wielding 2-handed-weapon on one hand.

And last, me.

The kingdom wont be able to resist to recruit these people to fight the Empire.

But the other ones are mediocre at best. Even if their weapons are superior, the wielder are only soldier level goons. They are just average.

They are important companions because we can leave daily chore and ship operation.

But overall, our battle capability should be high.

I am thankful for you being here. Ill request it then. Will you join us?

Of course. Glad to be here. Masak-, no, since I joined your pirate group, should I call you Big Boss?

Please stop it. Im fine with Masaki

Understood. Then, Masaki-dono. Lets work together

Certainly. Lets work hard together

We shook hands and a new member joined the Pirates of the Round Tables.

Her name was Adelhide Bernstein. A True Vampire

Ah. Im glad to be here! This sofa! This delicious beer! This is the beeest!!!

Claudia Fyura, the Mage, was lying on the sofa.

This sofa Is really a frightening opponent!!!
