“Then it looks like we have to ask the gossip loving Dullahan that lives in the old mansion located in the fourth district.”
“Dullahan?”
Buchou said something I didn’t know, so I ask. Xenovia answers instead.
“She’s referring to the headless armored Knight. It rides on a huge horse while carrying its head with its arm. It’s a monster which declares peoples death and it mainly lives in Europe. I have defeated them a couple of times as well.”
To be expected from the former exorcist who came from the Vatican! Looks like monster hunting is her specialty!
Kiba then puts a thick book in front of me.
“Monster encyclopedia. When you say the name of the monster you want to look up, it will automatically open the page for you. For example, Dullahan.”
Then the book opened by itself, and the pages began changing automatically. Oh, a magical phenomenon! Then it stopped. When I looked, there is a illustration of a headless Knight along with symbols I can’t read. These symbols must be devil-letters. I still can’t read all of them yet. I can’t read the descriptions, but I understood the characteristics of Dullahan from the illustration.
“That Dullahan had a serious hernia a few days ago and is hospitalised now.”
Akeno-san tells Buchou, while reading the documents in her hands.
He’s headless and has a hernia!? I don’t understand! So you are telling me that the head it is carrying can also receive a hernia!?
Buchou made a sigh after hearing Akeno-san’s report.
“I see, looks like Dullahan is also having difficulties.”
Judging from their conversations, it seems like they can’t get in contact with the informant. I then pointed to the box which the half-vampire Gasper is in.
“Then Buchou, how about we submit a report about a rare ‘Vampire in a box’? I don’t think there are any vampires who go inside a box rather than a coffin.”
“S-S-Senpaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! W-What are you sayinnnnng!”
The box screamed. I approached the box and tapped on it.
“You are Buchou’s servant, so you will have to cooperate. What kind of box do you prefer? How does it feel inside? Are there differences between boxes made from different makers? Wait, don’t you think it would be faster just to teleport this box along with you to the Underworld?”
“Uwaaaaaaaan!! I….I will be shipped away by Ise-senpaaaaai!”
“Vampire in a box. And that will be sent from the country which produced it!”
While Gasper and I were having a conversation like that, Buchou says it while making a sigh.
“Geez, I understand. Let’s find another way.”
“Another way? Do you have something in mind?”
Buchou nods at my question.
“There is a human who is very knowledgeable about monsters in this academy.”
That’s something I heard for the first time.
