"After that, I participated in a coup and overthrew the government of a human country!"

The Count, upon hearing this, blinked his eyes and looked towards Magenta and the others.

"Please forgive my remark.

Um, as the master says, I cooperated with a human noble named Lyra-sama, overthrew the king of that country, and established a puppet regime under Lyra-sama's control. Lyra-sama is also a friend of the master and Rare-sama, who was mentioned earlier."

"Hahaha! What's that! So, in other words, the current royal family has retaliated for the treatment the people of this continent once gave to the Spirit Lord! How delightful!"

He was in a good mood. Although he hadn't spoken in a manner that suggested a particularly close relationship with the Spirit Lord, there seemed to be an acquaintance, and perhaps he didn't hold the countries of this continent in high regard due to the killing of acquaintances.

Come to think of it, he was unusually enthusiastic when he mentioned wanting to attack the city.

"Well, I'm glad you're pleased, but the ones who planned it were the noblewoman Lyra-san and the Demon Lord Rare-chan.

Sir Count, do you not attack human countries directly?"

The Count stopped his slow laughter and looked into the distance as he spoke.

"Well... yeah. It's forbidden to directly interfere with them. It's an ancient covenant... Although at this rate, in the not-so-distant future, I might descend to the surface."

"Really!? A premonition of human extinction!?"

"Well, if the covenant is voided to that extent, it might be such a situation. At that time, you can decide freely. You are one of the very few vampires who attained it voluntarily in the world."

Even if he said that, it didn't make much sense to me. It was a result of receiving [Subordinate] from the Count and failing to resist it. In the end, I wasn't [Subordinated], but that was only because I was a player. When I vaguely mentioned that, the count laughed and replied, "Results are everything. Most things are."

"Well, that's how things have been for the past ten days. So, even though I've been given a room and all, I feel sorry about it, but I'm thinking of moving to the city over there..."

"Ah, I see. That would be good. Don't worry about us. What I did, I did because I wanted to. Besides, leaving the nest is usually like that."

While relieved, there was also an indescribable sense of loneliness welling up. Looking back, Blanc had been with the Count since the first day of the game. It wasn't necessarily a farewell for this lifetime, but Blanc's current existence was undoubtedly thanks to the Count.

"Um, I don't think it will happen often, but if anything comes up, please let me know. For now, I'll be in a city called Erntal."

"Oh, that's fine. Don't worry about mentioning the names of modern cities. Just do as you please."

"Oh, right!"

Blanc summoned a Spartoi from Erntal.

"Occasionally, I'll Summon myself to play with this little one!"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's like this, just wait a moment!"

She rushed outside the room and, using [Summon Summoner], appeared next to the Spartoi in front of the throne.

"What is that! Teleportation magic!? No, that's not it, how did you do it!?"

Teleportation magic, there was such a thing. But it didn't seem like the right atmosphere to ask. If she could ask, it would probably be after answering the Count's question. Concisely, but due to the lack of clarity, it took some time to explain the necessary prerequisite skills. Even though she didn't know the Count's build, it was likely that the only thing missing was probably [Spatial Magic].
