VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Chapter 90 Infiltration and Feast

Despite being a figure exuding terrifying intimidation, when he rode Pity like a horse and slapped her repeatedly, there was no sense of dignity.

Bloodied, Pity rolled her eyes and passed out.

"You can't say anything back now, can you, Pity? Consider yourself defeated."

After dismounting Pity, the Demon King licked the blood off his hands with delight. His appearance was more monstrous than the Vampire Lord Yoyo, despite looking like a lovely young girl.

Her outward appearance may be that of a beautiful child, but her nature and existence were worlds apart from humanity.

The Demon King cast a seductive glance.

"Do as you please, Gehenna. No matter what mistakes you make or what happens, I will not be defeated. Enjoy life until the end comes. Everything will just add color to my existence."

"Understood, Demon King. Instead of me, can I send Pity?"

The Demon King nodded slightly.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Pity was the only one whose identity remained concealed. Though her personality was disastrous, her abilities made her worthy of her title.

Her skills were perfectly suited for behind-the-scenes work.

Thus, it was officially decided that the Demon King's army would eliminate the third faction, Yoyo Lowe Yggdra. The one to carry out the mission would be Divine Toxic Poison Pity, a pure witch from the Demon King's army.

A poison user feared even by gods.

A pitiful girl who fought for humanity more than anyone, only to be rejected for one failure.

Gehenna thought.

Humans are always making mistakes.

But it can't be helped. No one really cares about humanity. Of course not. Only a handful of people would die for humanity.

Everyone acts for themselves and only themselves.

Anyone who denies this is either a fool, selfish, or naive. Thinking that everyone can make the ideal choice is just mental laziness.

The world is full of mistakes.

Gehenna had once made a mistake. He trusted someone he thought was a comrade, sought the best outcome, and was betrayed. Now he stood as an enemy of humanity.

And so, he wished.

"May the Demon King's rival not make the same mistakes."

Gehenna muttered.

Alisdyne opened her eyes, her gaze serious.

"Oh, the meeting is starting...!"

"It's already over."

"...So I can go back to sleep?"

"Yeah, go ahead. Alisdyne, you can rest your head on my arm."

"I've been granted permission."

Gehenna, shrugging his shoulders, wished these people would stop trying to destroy humanity. Meanwhile, Alisdyne rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Oh, right. Grue-sama, what about the food? We captured plenty of fresh humans. Lots of soft children..."

"I'll eat them!"

"Okay, I'll cook them up nicely... and make them delicious."

It seemed that the meal was a feast that day, though Gehenna didn't partake.

Got it! Here's the translation in our usual style:

---

Well, punishing Atori in this crisis would've been pointless. If they tried to detain her, she could resist fully, and if they made an enemy of her, the military would be severely weakened before even starting the battle.

Instead, they sent us to what seemed to be a dangerous area.

Our destination was the "Dawn City Yggdra."

There are multiple routes leading there. This battle is about how many armies can break through those routes.

Though we were a 30-man army, near Dawn City Yggdra, larger forces can operate. The dragons are wary of the city, so the usual large-scale battle—armies of tens of thousands—won't happen until the very end.

Our group marched through the forest.

"Dear God..."

Atori, holding me to her chest, walked at a slow pace with the group. The speed was so slow it made you yawn. We were advancing cautiously to avoid any encounters with vampires.

"...Boring," she muttered.

"With Shio, this would be over in an instant. But this experience is valuable. A genius who doesn't adapt to their surroundings will only be devoured."

"Will I...be devoured?" she asked.

"No. If you learn from this, you won't."

"I'll do my best..."

This area had reportedly wiped out every army that passed through. Dangerous monsters and vampire ambushes were expected.

We were scouting to find more possible routes for the army to use. It was a two-day walk from the nearest city.

"All right, we'll camp here. Vampires move at night. Set up a wide perimeter."

The captain gave orders to the troops.

A large bonfire was lit, and lanterns were hung in the trees around us. It made us very visible, but better that than being attacked by vampires in complete darkness.

Night is the perfect hunting time for our enemies.

Vampires can see as clearly at night as they can during the day. So, trying to hide would be useless. As we were preparing the camp, night had completely fallen.

Then, the forest suddenly shook.

"...Enemies," Atori said.

That amount of wind couldn't have been natural. It was clearly a vampire ambush, trying to snuff out our fire and lanterns with wind.

"Atori, let's go," I said.

"Yes, my God! I'm off to fight!"

Just as Atori was about to run off, the captain stopped her.

Wait! First, strengthen the defenses—"

"The gods have spoken. I will fight."

"Don't be stupid! It's nighttime, the vampires have the advantage! If you attack, they'll only counter! You are the main defensive force. Stay here and form a defensive line—"

Ignoring him completely, Atori dashed forward.

In the distance, we could hear soldiers screaming. Some of them were being taken out already.

"Rouro!"

Atori called out to Rouro. She poured a "Low-Level Animal Control" potion on him. Despite his appearance, Rouro's mind is classified as a "low-level animal."

It is a mass of human grudges. In essence, it's an animal spirit—albeit a degraded one. I used this same potion to tame him.

While under the potion's effects, Rouro follows orders, albeit only slightly.

"Cut down the trees."

"Graaaaahhh!"
