What am I saying?
As she came to her senses, the young girl felt a bit lost. Shouldn't she have called him "Boss"?
Never mind the girl, the shop owner was also taken aback.
He had never heard anyone address another person as "Human" before; it was quite novel. But he didn't think too much of it, assuming the girl was just joking.
Or perhaps she was being playful? Halloween was still some time away, wasn't it?
"Alright, little one, what character are you playing?"
The shop owner took a good look at the Vampire Miss in front of him, seeming a bit stunned. She really was a beautiful young girl.
Like an Elf from the night, mysterious and noble…
This exquisite dark aesthetic, combined with her tone, made him wonder if she was portraying a specific character.
"I guess so…"
The girl replied vaguely as she took the ice cream.
After all, she couldn't just say she was a Vampire.
But just as the girl was about to pay, her body suddenly froze. She seemed to have forgotten that she had no money on her at all.
Having just become Theresa the Vampire, she was penniless.
She hadn't even brought any in-game gold coins.
"Can I… not have this?"
The girl hesitantly handed the ice cream back to the owner, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"You didn't bring money? Hahaha, forget it… it's just an ice cream! Here, have it."
The owner chuckled upon hearing this, waving his hand dismissively. Seeing the girl's embarrassed yet cute expression, the ice cream was well worth it.
"Thank you! Human."
Hearing the owner's words, Miss Moonlit hesitated for a second before thanking him, then turned and left with the ice cream.
"What a beautiful girl, so beautiful she doesn't seem like she's from this world. If my daughter were this pretty, she wouldn't still be unmarried."
As the girl's back disappeared, the shop owner couldn't help but sigh.
If he weren't so old, he would have pursued her no matter what. Even if the outcome was destined to be failure!
Suddenly, the owner's mind raced, and he thought of something.
"Wait, what if she really isn't human?"
An Elf? A Witch? A Vampire… or perhaps a Succubus?
"Cold and sweet…"
Holding the ice cream, Miss Moonlit licked the cream…
Her mood seemed to lift.
But before long, she noticed the people around her, especially those walking in groups. Families or couples strolling hand-in-hand under the lights, chatting and laughing.
And she was all alone, feeling so out of place.
Especially when she subconsciously looked beside her, she found nothing there.
A sense of loneliness inexplicably washed over her.
And a touch of disappointment, though she wasn't sure what she was disappointed about.
Compared to them, she didn't belong in this world to begin with.
"Snap out of it! Don't tell me you've actually fallen for the Captain under Moonlit's influence! The Captain is you."
She patted her own face, urging herself to cheer up. She was just controlling the body of Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart as the Captain, not the real Moonlit. Why overthink things?
The priority was to understand this world and complete bounties to level up.
Calming her thoughts, Theresa began to seriously analyze her current situation. She didn't recognize the surrounding text, but she understood its meaning.
She could also communicate normally with the people around her.
But this seemed to be in a Western region, yet it sounded no different from Mandarin to her.
It couldn't be that everyone here spoke Mandarin, could it?
So, was this a benefit provided by the system?
It had to be, otherwise, it made no sense. That was good, at least she wouldn't have to learn so many foreign languages. She didn't even want to learn English, let alone other languages!
Chapter 6 That Would Be So Fulfilling!
"Without money, you can't go anywhere!"
She needed to get some money…
Miss Moonlit sat elegantly on a park bench, watching the surroundings grow quieter. It was very late now, and those who had come out to play had already gone home to rest.
For Miss Moonlit, the vampire, nighttime was a comfortable time, but daytime was not.
Especially the midday sun made her feel utterly uneasy.
After all, bats are nocturnal creatures…
It wasn't that Miss Moonlit was a bat, but rather that vampires and bats had similar habits. So, it was fine for her to wander around at night, but she wouldn't be able to muster much spirit during the day tomorrow.
It's just that she was penniless right now, not even having enough money to stay at a hotel.
Then again, even if she had money… she didn't have identification in this world, so she couldn't legally book a room.
What a bother!
"How strange, is this city's public order this good? I haven't encountered any demons or yokai, not even a single bad guy."
After wandering around for a good while, Miss Moonlit had thought she would encounter some prey. At this moment, she still felt a bit embarrassed to attack others. If someone were to provoke her… she could then teach them a lesson with a clear conscience.
At that time, it would be reasonable to ask for some money from them, right?
But whether it was bad luck or just too good public order, she hadn't met anyone who provoked her, even though Miss Moonlit was so beautiful…
It shouldn't be like this!
She could only attribute it to luck.
But if that were the case, would she have to spend the night outdoors?
She got up and left the park, continuing to wander around… If there was absolutely no other way, she would then see how her resistance to sunlight was.
If it was just a little uncomfortable, it wouldn't be unbearable.
Fortunately, although Miss Moonlit was a vampire, she was more accurately an experimental subject created from Kallen's genes along with Honkai Beasts and Divine Keys. Furthermore, after Miss Moonlit obtained the Aetherium Singularity, she wouldn't fear the sun at all.
Otherwise, it would be too awful to turn to ash upon exposure to sunlight.
"Is that a church?"
After walking for a while longer, Miss Moonlit suddenly noticed a distinctive building ahead.
It was a rather old-looking church, its stone walls appearing ancient and steady under the moonlight. The church's spire soared into the clouds, giving off an aura of solemnity and mystery.
At this moment, the church was brightly lit. The entrance to the church was an old iron gate, carved with stories from the Bible and various intricate patterns.
However, what caught Miss Moonlit's attention even more was not the church itself, but the activity there. The surroundings were very quiet at this moment, with only continuous sounds coming from inside the church…
A few minutes later, several priests dressed in Christian attire, along with many monks and pastors, emerged from the church. The young lady hesitated and quickly hid in the shadows.
She hadn't forgotten that she was a vampire right now.
In the eyes of these Christian followers, she would be an evil demon!
Having just become Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart, the young lady didn't have a precise measure of her own strength. There was no need for her to… she didn't want to get into a dispute with the church.
Vampires have long lives, but that didn't mean she was truly immortal.
However, these Christian followers weren't targeting her, nor did they seem to have discovered her. They were all rushing off in various directions, carrying something.
Seeing this scene, the young lady hesitated but wasn't overly curious.
Logically, she shouldn't be afraid of light energy like the demons in this world, but there was no need, and it wasn't good to proactively attack.
"I feel a bit repulsed, is it a vampire's instinct?"
Frowning, she stared at the church ahead and the departing priests. She instinctively disliked these…
It must be due to her being a vampire.
In that case, she probably wouldn't like angels either.
It's a bit of a shame, in this DxD world… her favorite beings were the angels, because of the unique system, any angel would be unable to touch the Seven Deadly Sins, otherwise they would inevitably fall.
This meant that angels were definitely good people.
On the contrary, the organizations below Heaven, within Christianity, were rife with darkness and corruption.
"What am I thinking, wanting to be with angels as a vampire? That's too strange…"
Angels and vampires are inherently enemies, how could that be…
No, it seems not entirely impossible…
The young lady suddenly recalled a novel she had read before, about the union of a vampire and an angel, called "Blood Angel" or something like that.
Tsk, I'm getting sidetracked.
It's not really anything significant. Regardless of race, what matters is strength. With great strength… like the male protagonist of this world, the Dragon Emperor, Brother Cheng, it's only natural for him to have both angels and demons as his harem…
Strength is the key.
Moreover, at this point in time… angels, demons, and fallen angels are in a period of peace, basically leaving each other undisturbed, probably?
Without dwelling on these thoughts any further, Miss Moonlit turned and bypassed the church, not wanting to get involved in the church's affairs, at least not until her strength improved.
But sometimes, even if you don't want to get involved, things will find you.
Like right now, Miss Moonlit, at a corner… in a secluded alley, discovered a monster that seemed to be being chased!
Before her appeared an evil monster. Its lower body was incredibly twisted, resembling both a spider and a scorpion, while its upper body took the form of a seductive human woman.
However, one of its arms was broken, and its body was covered in wounds that were difficult to heal, making it look both disgusting and pathetic.
The monster panted continuously, its expression filled with nervousness, malice, and hatred.
Yet, it feared exposing itself…
But in the next second, it noticed Theresa Moonlit suddenly appearing before it, and couldn't help but freeze, momentarily stunned.
"Human?"
Quickly recovering, the monster noticed that the young girl before it was not one of those church lackeys chasing it. Its fearful expression immediately turned ferocious.
"Good evening! Miss Monster."
Staring at the ferocious monster before her, Miss Moonlit felt no fear. Instead, she proactively greeted it with enthusiasm. An injured monster, wasn't this a fantastic bounty target?
Although it looked terrifying, the young girl could sense… it was definitely no match for her.
Even though Miss Moonlit was only level one at the moment.
"Not human…"
The monster smelled the girl's scent and realized.
This girl before it, whose appearance made it incredibly jealous, was not human at all.
"You guessed correctly."
Miss Moonlit parted her lips, revealing her cute, sharp fangs—no! Canine teeth.
These were fangs unlike those of a beast. They weren't thick, but slender and perfectly shaped… fitting perfectly with human affection for canine teeth.
They weren't scary at all; instead, they made her look even more alluring.
