”Theyʼre probably in Abyss, or not… We shouldnʼt revisit Abyss for now; we need to amass more power. If the Sun God is this powerful on that Parallel Earth already, he must be even more in Abyss,” I said.

”More power…” Nesiphae muttered. ”Indeed, we need to keep growing and also level up. Weʼve been living peacefully there, and I like my family, but itʼs certainly not the way to do things.”

”Yeah,” I nodded. ”Waking up Frank is also a priority, finding the ”key”. I believe that by finding it, we could gain something… perhaps not just the ability to move to whatever second floor this weird dungeon could have but maybe become the true ruler of that parallel world. But whatever the case, we must do this step by step.”

”If the Sun God is making the Vampires into Recessed… do they know this?” Redgaria asked. ”Are they happy about it?”

”I donʼt know,” I said. ”Noah also stepped into the dungeon with his family, looking for some missing allies apparently, so Abyss is left without his protection…”

”So he abandoned everything to look for a friend? Well, isnʼt he more emotional than I thought?” Agatheina laughed.

”Yeah, he is,” I nodded. ”I fought him, but he likes to pretend that heʼs emotionless and doesnʼt care, but he very much care about these things.”

”Could he be a potential ally?” Rimuru asked.

”I donʼt know, he tried to kill me several times though…” I said, rubbing my chin. ”He hates me for stealing the sun from Abyss and… causing a mess. He definitely wanted me dead but after we fought and nothing happened, he abandoned the idea… He also seemed somewhat intimidated by my fatherʼs strength, or at least, he decided to retreat after seeing him appear with the rest of the Chaos Gate coming to help me.”

”Hmm…” Brontes nodded. ”He probably thought that it was pointless to try to kill you, even more when he realized you werenʼt exactly a threat to him… and maybe he already released all his frustrations.”

”Mama died?” Scarlet asked me.

”But sheʼs alive right here, right?” Nirah wondered.

”Mama, donʼt die…!” Jeanne started crying, rubbing her face on my chest.

”Aw, mama is not going anywhere,” I said with a smile. ”I didnʼt die… And even if I did, I could revive… I was able to test such an insane ability against him. But it still has its weaknesses.”

”So youʼre unkillable…” Redgaria muttered. ”Well, nothing has changed, you were unkillable already beforehand when you came back out of nowhere.”

”Hahah, that was more like a coincidence,” I said. ”I died back then but was summoned right away… Ah well, some of the kids here donʼt even know about what happened back then, but I guess itʼs better if they donʼt know… Anyway, regarding the alliance, Iʼll also work with my father and the Chaos Gate to dismantle it.”

”Sounds good,” Redgaria said. ”Let me join you then.”

”You sure?” I asked.

”I am,” he nodded. ”Donʼt summon me either, Iʼm going there on my own with my sister.”

”Wait, what? Are you sure? But why?” I asked, surprised.

”If what you said is true… I want to give her a family,” sighed Redgaria. ”Our parents were never good; she never go to experience what having a family that loved her was like.”

”We are not sure sheʼll get a good and loving family,” I said. ”Itʼs all a gamble; she could get abusive parents too.”

”…Itʼs worth giving it a try,” Redgaria sighed. ”And Iʼll help you hunt down those bastards.”

”Well, if you insist…” I nodded. ”Youʼre welcome in that world. Iʼll try to convince father to recruit you. You may have to showcase your abilities.”

”That wonʼt be a problem,” Redgaria smirked. ”Iʼm sure my sister will like the idea, sheʼs been feeling lonely even when Iʼm with her… I donʼt know what to do with her, I often think that something truly was missing for her.”

”Aw, arenʼt you nice, worrying about her like that?” I smiled, feeling moved.

”Hmph…” he ignored my words, looking elsewhere.

Maybe he wants to help but doesnʼt want to say it directly, heʼs always been like this… Despite his age he usually acts like an angsty teen or an angsty young adult.

Both of the two works.

”Who else wants to come along? I will not bring everyone right away but will make a list,” I said.

”I do,” Agatheina said. ”I quite like the Academy and everything, but I am very interested on this Human world and how it could be structured… Especially if its similar to the world Flora talked before. As a Goddess of the Ancient Era of Genesis before the Great Cataclysm that shattered it and divided it into Realms… Iʼve always been curious about the past of humanity I didnʼt get to see after a large portion of them escaped.”

”What about you, Alice?” I asked her.

”I am considering it…” Alice nodded her head. ”But can we return here any time too?”

”Yes, you can,” I nodded. ”Thereʼs no obligation of staying. Your connection with me already allows you to easily teleport to my Cosmic Realm at any time by creating a special portal.”

”Hmm, alright… Maybe,” Alice said. ”What do you think, Jeanne?”

”I dunno… thereʼs other vampires?” Jeanne asked.

”Yes thereʼs quite a few, good and bad…” I nodded. ”Hmm, itʼs quite the mix of Vampires actually.”

”Ooh… but I want to keep going to the academy…” Jeanne said.

”You should be able to find time for both things with ease,” I said. ”So donʼt worry.”

”Um, okay!” Jeanne nodded. ”What about big bro?”

”I guess I could go help,” Alucard said. ”But we are all still learning in the academy, so I would prefer if we donʼt get too distracted.”

”Alright,” I nodded. ”Right, Jonette, can you call her, Alice? Ismena and Acelina are there after all, although… well, you know.”
