Chapter 141. Empress Vampire & Golden Age

After everything was finished, Tanya soon came back with a few people who were bringing all hundred bowls which greatly surprised us as we immediately rushed to help her over. After dragging all the bowls onto the kitchen, I immediately started stamping all the bowls one by one which took a little while before we hastily placed the wasabi pastes inside the bowls.

Everything took a super long time and by the time we were finished closing all the containers with linen which was the way to wrap stuff here… I do hate how we can’t see the product like this though, if possible… I wanted to use some sort of plastic wrapper here but those doesn’t exist in this world yet.

“Haa… we should really make some kind of box for these once we start production,” I showed a slightly bitter smile. The product didn’t look very presentable to the world of nobility like this but if we wanted to make it presentable, we also need large amounts of funding.

“I agree, my lady but for now, it should work fine especially with the mistress since she cares more about the product rather than the casing,” Tanya answered.

Anyhow, all of us were very exhausted from doing all of these. You could tell from Raeliana’s eyes that she wanted to sleep. All the chefs and maids were already instructed to head to their rooms now, it was already fairly late at night, “How about we all head back to our rooms and sleep for now?”

“Yay…” Raeliana said enthusiastically as she stretched her arms wide before walking upstairs as she said, “I will head first, milady… sorry for being a bit rude.”

“No worries, it’s my fault for keeping the two of you awake for this long,” I answered with a smile before turning towards Tanya who nodded the same as the two of us soon followed afterward walking upstairs onto our individual rooms.

After reaching my room, I soon closed the door and slammed myself straight to bed, rolling around several times as the softness of the bed devoured all my senses. It was a rough day, for sure and the days that will follow are also not going to be any easier on us. A lot has happened since I was revived back onto this world in this new body.

I met new people whom Ayumi Windsor considered as her best allies, her persona also merged with mine which changed me drastically inside. I felt like I was no longer Ayumi Ai but a combination of the two… her memories were slowly becoming a bit harder to distinguish between my original ones.

“Are you sleepy?” a voice suddenly called out from the side as I rolled to my side with a pout.

“Naturally… why are you still awake at this time, Kaori?” I looked up towards the origin of the voice as Kaori stood there in her seductive nightdress with a pillow on her hand, “Say… you aren’t planning on sleeping with me right?”

“Am I not allowed to? How about giving me some space so I can try this comfy bed of yours,” she said as I glared at her before rolling to the side while she placed her pillow nicely beside mine before jumping onto the bed as she looked at me, “You smell like some kind of familiar condiment…”

“You can tell, huh?” I smiled before she hugged me, “This morning while looking around at the new marketplace, I managed to found wasabi plants being sold at two silver coins per kilogram and since the original person of this body was such a capitalist, I immediately made a move and bought as much as I could before asking whether I could strike a deal with them.”

“Wasabi? Are you for real?! How many did you make?” her eyes widened as I giggled.

“I have around a hundred bowls of wasabi paste downstairs; they are all imbued with a unique container skill that will extend their longevity by three to six months. How about it, Your Majesty… do you want some wasabi?” I teased before she hit me with a hand slash on the head.

“Are you trying to tease me late at night? I got a lot of complaints from the other two about me being the only person who can come to you every day, they’ve been screaming at me on chat to at least let them visit you once in a blue moon,” she showed a bitter smile.

“Aiya, is my former childhood friend trying to be greedy now?” I joked before pinching her cheeks with a smile, “I would really love to meet them soon though, it has been three months since they have seen me… how about on the 22nd of the month, can you bring them here?”

“Ugh—as much as I want to monopolize you, it seems like I might have to bring them for the sake of Crystal’s elder sister… or so she calls her. That girl has been somehow missing her elder sister a lot lately especially with how lonely she is on the castle,” she laughed a bit.

Flora huh… I wonder how Mana and the others are faring in terms of financial situation, well—Flora is already the heiress of the Queenshelm clan which means she should receive the benefits that I had received in the past. I could only hope that girl doesn’t spend it all on boar.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a certain kingdom.

“Haaachooo!” a brown-haired girl sneezed as she looked at the boar meat on her plate, “Is Aywumi-mwa talking about me right now?”

“How could Ayumi talk about you when the only thing she remembers about you is boar,” a pink-haired lady who was none other than Mana answered.

Back to Ayumi.

“Anyhow, you sure you don’t plan on attacking me again like last time?” I looked at Kaori with a bit of suspicion, moving a little bit away as her eyes flashed.

“Hmm—do you perhaps want me to take you away for the night again?” she replied while licking her lips seductively as shivers ran to my spine before all of a sudden, she jumped onto me before the two of us soon rolled around the bed under the bright moon.

After a few hours of sleep, the sound of the shower being used entered my ears as I opened my eyes out of curiosity before the shower sounds vanished as the door to the bath opened, revealing Kaori who was wrapped in a towel.

“Are you leaving now?” I asked with a wry smile.

“I’ll have to leave before the people near you become suspicious. I’ll come back when I have free time again,” she smiled before flicking her fingers as her towel immediately turned into her royal clothes which consisted of a coat and a red cape on her left side. Her royal clothes also consisted of a nice white and red skirt, rather her entire clothes were white with red accents.

“Okay, do take care… be sure to keep Crystal safe,” I said before she nodded as her figure soon vanished along with the noise-cancellation barrier that blocked all the noise here to the outside world.

After she left, I soon stood up with a little bit of pain but endured it as I walked out towards the balcony watching as the sun slowly rose. It was a beautiful sunrise that marked the start of the day, most citizens were already awake and starting off their daily routine which was normal in this world.

“How beautiful,” I smiled while staring at the sun as the gradient of the skies slowly changed.

All of a sudden, a bright golden window suddenly appeared in front of me. It was a golden window that came from none other than the system which had some really odd stuff.

GOLDEN AGE

Congratulations! Your town has reached its golden age which means all skills of the citizens whether it’d be production or hunting within a few hundred kilometers outwards from the city are enhanced by a hundred percent! You have also received the reward [Evolution Stage 1] and can select your evolution route!

What was written on the window surprised me greatly, the town was now in its golden age which means all of its skills are enhanced?! Not to mention, what is this Evolution Stage 1 and where can I select an evolution route—just when I was thinking that a new window suddenly overtook the place of the golden window.

EVOLUTION STAGE ONE

Welcome to Evolution Stage One! You have reached this stage after a considerable number of achievements done which means you are allowed to choose your secondary race. Please select from any of the races below:

‣ Empress Vampire  ‣ High Angel  ‣ Ancient Human

‘Huh… Empress Vampire—that sounds cool, what benefits does it have’ I thought before another window appeared beside the main window.

EMPRESS VAMPIRE

As the name implies, it is an incredibly special race that no one has achieved so far. Its powers can go beyond the maximum limit of a High Angel and an Ancient Human, but it suffers from its own disadvantages which require the person to transform into vampiric form every few weeks for twelve hours and also require blood from a chosen someone every year. A sip is enough, though but failing to satiate the blood hunger will cause you to enter into rampage for an entire day.

Known Skills

[The Empress Vampire’s Wings], [Scythe of Blood], [Blood Materialization], [Anti Magic PASSIVE]

[Vampiric Form], [Blood Magic]

Vampiric Form

The default Vampiric form of an Empress Vampire is a medium size girl with two blood horns and red bat wings. Her form usually comes with a black scythe and defenses against magic of any type up to high-level. This form can also regenerate your health and mana points passively by taking mana from the air directly though vampires are always thought of as an opponent which makes this a disadvantage.

I felt surprised by how overpowered it looked, after the Empress Vampire, I soon looked at the other two races which were all useless compared to the Empress Vampire.

The reason why they are weak is simply because they were easily replicable by the Skill Creation, not to mention, they were also skills that I have used in the past which I already know are weaker than the ones offered by the Empress Vampire.

“There was never a choice from the start, wasn’t there…?” I showed a bitter smile, hesitating a bit as I pressed on the Empress Vampire as all of the windows soon vanished before a blinding light flashed towards my eyes.

After a few moments, the blinding light vanished as everything somehow started to look a tiny bit larger—it was only a tiny bit which confused me as I immediately ran towards the mirror before the reflection of a beautiful little white-haired, red-eyed girl with fangs, two adorable horns that were as if a crown and two beautiful looking cute wings appeared.

“Wa… cute…”
