Becoming Professor Moriarty's Probability

Chapter 42: The Missing Case of Silver Blaze (4)

With Silver Blaze quietly wagging her tail behind me with her head lowered, I stepped out of the room and found myself cocking my head, lost in thought.

'Why did Silver Blaze suddenly become loyal to me?'

I had merely offered her some advice and kept my distance, only to give in slightly to my emotions and hug her at the end.

Where on earth did this loyalty even come from?

'Maybe she couldn't help it, having been treated that way for so long.'

After pondering for a moment, I remembered that she had lived a life that was no better than a slave's for a very long time. I sighed and moved on from this topic.

I felt it might be necessary to maintain some distance from her, but treating her a bit better in the future might not be a bad idea either.

｢You.｣

"........?"

As I descended the stairs, gathering my thoughts, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

｢Is what you said back then true?｣

Princess Clay, whom I had kept in my arms for protection, poked out her head and relayed a message to me.

"Pfft..."

｢Are you laughing?｣

Was she expressing her dissatisfaction since she despised having a cute voice due to being in the form of a cat doll? Either way, I couldn't help but chuckle due to the stark contrast between her appearance and her voice.

"... Of course it's true."

As I responded with a slight curl on my lips, she gave me a murderous glare.

｢Are you really intending to land the finishing blow on this entire charade of demi-human discrimination?｣

"Yes, but..."

｢How naive... Do you think that I will trust the very humans who have practiced racial discrimination for eons?｣

Saying so, she even bared her teeth at me, as she sent a message in an emotional voice.

｢Perhaps not now, but eventually, you'll undoubtedly drive both the demi-humans and us vampires to the brink of death.｣

".........."

｢Didn't you yourself mention that it's a risky endeavor?｣

This was true indeed. Even if everything went well and the demi-humans were successfully assimilated into our organization, they would be assigned dangerous tasks alongside the vampires.

"You're right."

｢See, in the end...｣

Upon my quiet agreement, Princess Clay looked at me with a cold expression filled with rage.

"... But they will not be the only ones driven to the domain of death and demise."

｢What?｣

"After all, I will be the first one to jump into any form of danger."

I began to quietly explain my side of things to her.

"In order to turn England upside down, I have no choice but to risk my life, Princess."

".........."

"The era of vampires I promised you. The era where demi-humans wouldn't be treated as slaves and would be able to live with pride in their identity. The era where humans can no longer discriminate against anyone. This is the only way to ensure the establishment of such an era."
