<h4>Chapter 405: We Want Phones!</h4>


    -----


    The surprise that Frank received after knowing that Harumi was now working as a Vtuber was big… He was left speechless by the utter ridiculousness of the situation. Just what kind of stupid urrence was this?


    Harumi, a girl who was so calm and collected, so calctive, and even might had seem to be ruthless and bloodthirsty was now working as a Virtual Idol pretty much…


    Frank even found out about her songs, and they were pretty good…


    However, he couldn''t help but find this entire thing a bit cringy, but he resisted the urge of pointing it out to Matsuo, as he exined to Axitl what Vtubers were…


    "Oh… That''s fun! Maybe I should be a Vtuber too? Frank, can you buy me a phone too?" asked Axitl.


    "I want one too, so we can chat," said Gwendolyn.


    "Me too! I want to y Fate Grand Order and Grand Blue Fantasy… Oh! And ying that other one that they advertise a lot in TV, Genshin Impact!" said Orb.


    "I didn''t knew there were so many cool games on phone! Maybe we all should y some?" wondered Axitl.


    "It must feel pretty weird to introduce them to Earth''s Inte," said Matsuo.


    "It is… But okay, let''s go get you some phonester," sighed Frank.


    "Nice!"


    As the girls celebrated, Matsuo pointed a certain direction to Frank, arge building resembling… Arge mall! In fact, it was a mall!


    "What is this ce? Don''t tell me the Vampires live here…" said Frank in disbelief.


    "Well… Not here. But they do own this whole district. The mall is fa?ade, their real home is within a Domain set here…" Matsuo suddenly brought everyone into a different space through a mere thought, as everyone emerged inside the Domain of Vampire n of Tokyo.


    The ce where they all arrived resembled arge forest, it seemed endless, and it was covered by a thick white mist, which blocked any light from the sun foring down.


    The ce had severalrge houses spread across the forest, thergest one was where Harumi resided.


    "You got inside without any issue?" asked Frank.


    "Yeah, I''vee here other times to do a few things, mostly delivery quests. As Vampires are the friendliest of ns, we have a fine rtionship. Clementine has recently begun to be more open and tolerant, it seems that she is bing better, I think…" said Matsuo.


    "I see… And Clementine was…" said Frank.


    Matsuo looked at him with a stiff expression.


    "Clementine is the Matriarch of this Vampire n, the direct child of the Vampire Progenitor in Europe that sent them here in the past. She is strong and rather serious, so don''t try to disrespect her because I have no idea how she could react to it… And, here we are,"


    The group reached thergest house as they encountered arge garden, named Lugubrious Graveyard Garden, it was a big ce where there were several graves and… undead, a lot of Undead.


    "Undead? Interesting. Are Vampires inherent necromancers? I am also quite good at it," said Frank.


    "Some of them can raise undead. Yeah, but these are not enemies, they are servants, they are their butlers, maids, and all sorts of stuff, they tend their gardens as well as they help guide the younger generations. I believe Harumi has a couple of undead servants herself. Every Vampire no matter their strength is given at least two, she has three I think…" said Matsuo.


    "This world keeps getting more and more interesting. This race of Vampires is truly intriguing…!" said Gwendolyn.


    "Indeed, although I''ve seen them in manga," said Orb.


    "In manga?!" asked Matsuo.


    "Well, they shouldn''t be the same thing as they are portrayed in fiction and fantasy, right? Or are they?" asked Axitl.


    "Hmm… Well, they are indeed a bit like them, but those are mostly the edge lords, most are just normal," said Matsuo.


    Knock, knock.


    Frank ended knocking in therge door as the door suddenly spoke, it formed the face of a skull and nced a everyone.


    "Who darese to the house of mydy Clementina- Ah, Matsuo-kun, wee back!"


    The giant talking door changed its tone of voice from an angered malicious male-sounding voice into that of a motherly and soft woman the moment she saw Matsuo.


    "The door can talk…?"


    Frank quickly noticed that this house was not normal, in fact, it was being possessed by hundreds of souls! Just like Yurei, perhaps it was a simr entity, a ghost manor!


    "I brought some friends, can we get in? We came looking for Harumi, there''s a friend here that hasn''t seen her in a while," said Frank.


    "Oh! Alright…"


    The door opened as it revealed therge and dark interior of the gigantic manor to everyone, who stepped inside without waiting for much time.


    "Look over her upstairs, I''ve already notified her about your visit!" she said


    "Thank you Miss Clem," said Matsuo.


    "Ah! Fufu, it''s nothing, really!" said the door. She was apparently the soul of a beautifuldy that seemed to have a crush on Matsuo. This was the reason of her overly affectionate nature.


    "Miss Clem?" asked Frank.


    "That''s the soul of the person inside that door. She is a lovelydy. I wish I could had meet her when she was alive," sighed Matsuo.


    "I see… Maybe I could bring her to the flesh for you," said Frank.


    "Eh? That would be weird though, do you want me to date with her?! We have to respect the death!" said Matsuo while blushing.


    "Weren''t youining you didn''t had a girl for you?" sighed Frank.


    "W-Well…! T-That''s…" muttered Matsuo.


    "Well, if you don''t want to, I discovered that my sister kind of likes you… But she''s way younger than you, so you''ll have to wait for her to grow up," said Frank.


    "You what?!" asked Matsuo.


    "But don''t get ahead of yourself, I am not letting you touch her unless you prove to me to be a good man!" said Frank.


    "Eeeeh?! Now I am the one confused! I haven''t said anything!" cried Matsuo.


    "Well, now that you know that you are liked by girls, you shouldn''t feel depressed anymore," said Frank.


    "…"
