That Would Feel So Good!

What was I saying?

Coming to her senses, the girl was a little confused. Shouldn't she have called him "boss"?

Not just the girl—the shop owner was stunned too.

It was his first time hearing someone address another person as "human." It was quite novel. Still, he didn't think much of it, assuming the girl was simply joking.

Or was she being quirky? Besides, wasn't Halloween still a while away?

"Alright, little miss, are you role-playing someone?"

The shop owner carefully looked over the vampire girl before him and seemed a little dazzled. She really was an incredibly beautiful young girl.

Like an elf beneath the night sky—mysterious, noble...

That beautiful gothic style, paired with her manner of speaking, was what made people wonder whether she was playing some character.

"Something like that..."

Taking the ice cream, the girl gave a vague reply.

After all, she couldn't exactly say she was a vampire.

But just as she was about to pay, her body suddenly stiffened. She seemed to have forgotten that she had no money at all right now.

Having only just become Theresa Moonlit, she was completely penniless.

She hadn't even brought a single Gold Coin from the game.

"Um... can I not have this after all?"

The girl hesitantly handed the ice cream back to the owner, looking a little embarrassed.

"Didn't bring any money? Hahaha, forget it... It's only an ice cream! Go ahead and eat it."

The owner laughed and waved his hand dismissively. Seeing the adorable embarrassed look on the girl's face, the ice cream had already paid for itself.

"Thank you, human!"

Hearing the owner's words, Miss Moonlit hesitated for a second before thanking him. Then she turned and left with the ice cream.

"What a beautiful girl. She's so pretty she hardly seems human. If my daughter were that beautiful, she wouldn't still be unable to get married."

Watching the girl's back disappear, the shop owner couldn't help but sigh.

If he weren't already so old, he would have tried pursuing her no matter what. Even if failure was inevitable!

Then the owner suddenly came to his senses and thought of something.

"Wait, she's not really not human, is she?"

An elf? A witch? A vampire... or perhaps a succubus?

"Cold and sweet..."

Holding the ice cream in her hands, Miss Moonlit licked the cream...

Her mood seemed to brighten as well.

But before long, she noticed the humans around her, especially those moving about in groups. Families and couples strolled hand in hand beneath the lights, chatting and playfully teasing each other.

Meanwhile, she was alone, looking completely out of place.

Especially when she instinctively looked beside herself, only to find there was nothing there.

For some reason, she felt lonely.

And a little disappointed, though she didn't know what she was disappointed about.

Come to think of it, unlike them, she didn't belong to this world in the first place.

"Snap out of it. Don't tell me Moonlit's influence really made you fall for the Captain! The Captain is you!"

Patting her cheeks, the girl forced herself to perk up. She was only the Captain controlling the body of Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart, not the real Moonlit. Why was she thinking so much?

Her top priority should have been learning about this world and taking bounties to level up.

After sorting out her thoughts, Theresa finally began seriously analyzing her situation. She didn't recognize the writing around her, yet she could understand its meaning.

She could also communicate normally with the people around her.

But this place seemed to be in Europe or America, yet what she heard sounded no different from Mandarin.

It couldn't be that everyone here spoke Mandarin, could it?

So was this a benefit provided by the system?

That had to be it. Otherwise, there was no way to explain it. Good—this meant she didn't have to learn so many foreign languages. She didn't even want to study English, much less the languages of other countries!

That Would Feel So Good!

"Being broke really makes it impossible to get anywhere!"

She had to find some money...

Miss Moonlit sat elegantly on a bench in the park, watching the surroundings grow increasingly quiet. It was already very late, and those who had come out to have fun had all gone home to rest.

Nighttime was very comfortable for a vampire like Miss Moonlit, but daytime was not.

Especially the noon sunlight, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

After all, bats were nocturnal creatures...

That wasn't to say Miss Moonlit was a bat. It was simply that vampires had habits similar to bats. So wandering outside at night was fine, but once daytime came tomorrow, she would have trouble keeping her spirits up.

But she was currently penniless and didn't even have money for a hotel.

Then again, even if she had money... she had no identification from this world, so she couldn't reasonably book a room.

What a pain!

"How strange. Is security in this city really that good? I haven't seen any demons, Yokai, or even a single bad guy."

She had wandered around for quite some time earlier, thinking she would run into some prey. She still wasn't quite comfortable making a move against others herself, but if someone provoked her... then she could teach them a lesson with a clear conscience.

Then it would be reasonable to ask them for a little money, right?

But she didn't know whether her luck was bad or public security was simply too good. She hadn't encountered a single person who dared provoke her, even though Moonlit Wife was so pretty...

That really didn't make sense!

It could only be blamed on luck.

But if things continued like this, would she have to spend the night outside?

She got up and left the park, planning to keep wandering around... If there truly was no other way, she would test her resistance to sunlight then.

If it only caused a little discomfort, she could endure it.

Thankfully, though Moonlit was a vampire, more accurately, she was an experimental subject created from Kallen's genes, Honkai Beasts, and a Divine Key. Later, Miss Moonlit had also obtained the Aetherium Singularity, so she would be even less afraid of sunlight.

Otherwise, turning to ash the moment she was exposed to sunlight would have been far too miserable.

"Is that a church?"

After walking a little farther, Miss Moonlit suddenly noticed an unusual building ahead.

It was a rather old-looking church. Its stone walls appeared ancient and steady beneath the moonlight, while its spire rose high into the clouds, giving off a solemn and mysterious air.

The church was brightly lit at the moment. At its entrance stood an ancient iron gate carved with biblical stories and all sorts of intricate patterns.

But what caught Miss Moonlit's attention even more was not the church itself, but the activity there. Everything around it was extremely quiet, while sounds continued to come from inside the church...

Before long, several priests dressed in the style of Christianity, along with quite a few monks and Pastors, emerged from the church. The girl hesitated before quickly hiding in the shadows.

She hadn't forgotten that she was a vampire now.

In the eyes of these followers of Christianity, she was probably an evil demon!

Having only just become Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart, the girl had no clear measure of her own strength. There was no need to... she didn't want to get into a conflict with the church.

Vampires had long lives, but that didn't mean she was truly immortal.

However, these followers of Christianity weren't targeting her, nor did they seem to have noticed her. They hurried off in several directions, carrying something in their hands.

Watching the scene before her, the girl hesitated but didn't grow overly curious.

Logically speaking, she probably wouldn't be as unafraid of the power of light as the demons in this world, and there was no need—nor would it be wise—to make the first move.

"I feel a little repulsed. Is that a vampire's instinct?"

Frowning as she stared at the church and the departing priests, she instinctively disliked them...

It was probably because she was a vampire.

In that case, she probably wouldn't be able to like angels either.

That was a little unfortunate. In this DxD World, what she liked most were those angels. Because of their unique system, as long as they were angels, they could never touch the Seven Deadly Sins, or they would inevitably become Fallen Angels.

That meant angels had to be good people.

On the other hand, the organization beneath Heaven—Christianity—was full of darkness and corruption.

"What am I thinking? As a vampire, I want to be with angels? That's way too strange..."

Angels and vampires were natural enemies. How could that possibly happen...

No, it didn't seem entirely impossible...

The girl suddenly remembered a novel she had read before. A union between a vampire and an angel—wasn't it called a "Blood Angel" or something?

Tch, she was getting off track.

It wasn't actually a big deal. No matter the race, strength was what mattered. If one was strong... like this world's protagonist, Brother Cheng the Dragon Emperor, then taking angels and demons alike into one's harem was perfectly natural...

Strength was the key.

Besides, at this point in time... angels, demons, and Fallen Angels were in a period of peace. They basically stayed out of each other's way, probably?

No longer dwelling on such matters, Miss Moonlit turned and went around the church. She didn't want to involve herself in church affairs, at least not before she had increased her strength.

But sometimes, even when she didn't want to get involved, trouble came looking for her.

For example, at that very moment, Miss Moonlit discovered what seemed to be a monster being hunted down in a secluded passage around a corner!

The evil monster before her had an incomparably twisted lower body, like a spider and a scorpion at once, while its upper half resembled a seductive human woman.

However, one of its arms had been severed, and its body was covered in wounds that refused to heal. It looked both disgusting and miserable.

The monster panted continuously, its expression full of anxiety, malice, and hatred.

Yet it was also afraid of exposing itself...

But the next second, it noticed Theresa Moonlit suddenly appearing before it. It froze for a moment, slightly stunned.

"Human?"

Quickly recovering, the monster realized that the girl before it wasn't one of the church dogs pursuing 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 warmly greeted it. An injured monster—wasn't this a wonderful bounty target?

It looked terrifying, but the girl could sense it... This thing was definitely no match for her.

Even though Miss Moonlit was only level one right now.

"Not human..."

The monster caught the girl's scent and realized it.

The girl before it, whose appearance made it incomparably jealous, was no human.

"You guessed right."

Miss Moonlit parted her lips, revealing those adorable sharp fangs. No! Canines.

They were fangs entirely unlike those of a wild beast. They weren't thick, only slender, and their shape was just right... perfectly suited to humanity's fondness for canine teeth.

Not only were they not frightening, they made her seem even more alluring.
