At the time of the implementation of the transfer service on the first day.

Blanc was overlooking the town from the balcony of the lord's mansion.

"Isn't it already a bit deserted? They seem to be not coming in. Is there a meeting or something?"

"Since this town has no outer walls, there is no clear boundary between the inside and outside of the town. Even if they haven't entered, if they are within Blanc-sama's field of vision, it can be judged that they have already invaded Blanc-sama's territory, right?"

Weiss gave advice with a composed expression.

It's a refreshing morning, and Blanc, Weiss, and Azalea and the others have already reached a point where they can act comfortably under the sunlight.

If Weiss were not a Daywalker, it would have been necessary to send him to the Count for modification and enhancement, but that worry turned out to be unnecessary.

If Weiss was already a Daywalker before the event, when Blanc and the others became Daywalkers during the event, Weiss was already superior to Azalea and even Blanc at that time.

No, there is still a possibility that that is the case even now.

"...If Weiss-san says so, then it must be the case, hehehe."

"...I cannot fathom what you are thinking, Blanc-sama, but such words are unnecessary for me."

Azalea and the others are preparing tea inside the mansion. The tea leaves were given by Rare, and the tea set was given by Lyra.

As vampires, they thought they needed to consume blood, but system-wise, it only decreases hunger. Animal blood is the most efficient for hunger recovery, but other races require several times more than usual. In the absence of both food and blood, sap or plant juices are also acceptable.

When Blanc consulted with Rare and her sister, they unanimously suggested, "Then, isn't milk or vegetable juice fine?" Some fictional vampires occasionally use tomato juice, and it seems to be for the same reason. What is needed is bodily fluids, and while animal fluids are preferable, plant fluids are also acceptable.

After experimentation, it was found that hunger can be recovered to about one meal equivalent by turning black tea into royal milk tea and eating a fruit tart for tea time.

If processed, such as cooking, it is not recognized as bodily fluids, and items like blood sausages only recovered to the extent of regular food. Therefore, when heating the milk for royal milk tea, it is stopped before boiling. The tea leaves are opened with boiling water in advance, put into warmed milk, and allowed to steep.

According to Lyra, if the milk is boiled completely, the flavor of the milk becomes stronger, and the aroma of the tea leaves may be overwhelmed. Regarding bodily fluids, boiling is not considered if it is not brought to a boil, so it worked out well in that sense.

"When you think about it calmly, asking players to drink a living being's blood is too high a hurdle, so it's only natural to relax that aspect."

However, if there is nothing, the meaning of becoming a vampire would be diluted, so they are balancing the atmosphere with a combination of hunger and bodily fluids and other food.

"Blanc-sama, Azalea and the others have completed the tea preparation. Please leave the outside surveillance to me, and go inside."

"Is that so? Well then, thank you."

Inside, Deas was already sitting at the table, and Azalea was just pouring tea for Blanc.

"It seems like the players are already gathering."
