Chapter 39: Where The Shadows End

"Is she still in bed?"

"Yes."

"Well she shouldn't take Okaa-san seriously at times"

Kuroe replied as she looked out the window of the castle that the Dark Matter had made as their temporary base. Shiro made sure to thank them for all of their work, even as they were chatting they were cleaning the motorcycle that they constructed and refueled it. The night was fair, with the twins staring down at the pair who were training late into the night.

"Do you think we should worry about their level of strength?"

"Nope! I believe they will break their limit soon!"

"I was thinking the same but something just makes me feel otherwise."

"You worry too much Kuroe!"

"Maybe"

Kuroe knew that Shiro could feel the same way, it wasn't the level of strength that she anticipated them to be at when they first met but at the same time it wasn't all that special. Deciding to leave that problem to tomorrow, Shiro decided to go to sleep with Kuroe staying behind just to watch over these two. Arisa was still groaning in her pillow which made her awfully adorable. Yes tomorrow would be the last day they stayed in the country before they headed back to their real home.

The first one to wake up was Cass, it seemed she slept rather properly for the first time in years. However this partially due to the fact that she was not in the place she called her apartment. The chirping of the birds along with the soothing gentle wind made her feel like she had been here for a very long time.

"Ah thou have awoken. Good."

It was Abyss whose real identity shook Cass at her core, the guild leader of the Night Masquerade. She was wearing casual clothing with a mug of something that smelled nice, she handed it to her and prompted her to drink it.

"Worry not, knight of the order, ye coffee is not poisoned. Have thou no trust to the person who saved thine life?"

"I would like an explanation thank you"

"Ask and thou shall receive"

".........."

She stared at her for a while and felt that she was too guarded. She sipped the coffee and actually enjoyed its taste.

"May I please know what is going on? Why are you doing this? Why is this the nation you chose to do it to"

"Simple. I am searching for the filth that wants to separate me and mine sisters. Cleaning up the corruption of thine nation is but a byproduct of that goal"

"And my family will they be alright?"

"I have already arranged their escape and they are none the wiser for it"

"Thank goodness"

Cass breathed a sigh of relief, she felt like the interconnected web of corruption and evil would reach her family and she would be left all alone in the world but that was not the case. That means that she had already planned ahead of time, the question was how did she do it? She had alibis, quests and other things to keep her busy.

"If thou have doubts about mine ability, thou must know I have resources to topple nations. I am a vampire after all"

"That explains it. But how come........no I already know the answer to that don't I?"

"Of course"

She was a high leveled vampire who overcame her negatives, the sun was nothing to her, water did not burn her skin like acid and holy objects did not deter her movement. Cass felt determined once more knowing that those with strength if they decided to could easily clean the nation of its illness. What she said next shocked Arisa who was recovering from what Yukiyo said last night.
