The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 635 - 635

"Here you go."The next morning, Alice handed a compass-like tool to Arcueid.

"It tracks the scent left by vampires in the air and uses the needle to point you in the right direction."

"Can it track scents no matter how old they are?"

Arcueid looked amazed.

The compass was already rotating its needle just from being held in her hand.

This magician called Alice really had some skills!

"Of course not. Scents fade over time. Basically, scents older than ten days can't be tracked anymore."

Alice gave her a look as if she were an idiot.

"It hasn't been ten days since Roa last appeared. Just go to where he last appeared to collect the scent, and the needle will automatically show you the path he took, then lead you to him.As she said this, she explained the specific operation method to Arcueid.

This thing could instantly identify a vampire's true nature. The needle would point toward the vampire's direction like a magnet, making it incredibly effective for tracking vampires.

Most importantly, Alice had set up another mode where the compass would ignore all other scents and prioritize searching for Roa. It was quite targeted.

"That should be enough."

Arcueid understood and had no complaints about the tool's quality for now.

Even if she tracked them herself, the effect wouldn't be as good as this tool. At the very least, she couldn't smell scents left by Dead Apostles from ten days ago.

"How much of my blood did you skim?"

Arcueid suddenly asked out of the blue.

"I'm tired."

Alice pretended to yawn and then leisurely left the living room.

Although she hadn't slept all night, she looked quite energetic, probably having gained a lot.

"Tch!"

Arcueid knew she had been ripped off and let out an annoyed click of her tongue.

"Eiji, let's go to school together!"

Then she found Eiji and said with a cheerful smile.

Her mood was like summer weather—able to sweep away all gloom in the blink of an eye, revealing full sunshine, as if no negative emotions could linger in her heart for long.

"Even if I didn't say anything, you'd still come along, right?"

Eiji shrugged, indicating she could do as she pleased.

The last place Roa had appeared was in the forest at the foot of the school mountain. Arcueid just needed to go there to let the compass capture Roa's scent first.

"Hey, aren't you two sticking too close together?"

On the way to school, Aoko casually glanced at the two.

Arcueid had been clinging to Eiji's side, asking him to introduce the Heroic Spirits they encountered along the way, then laughing uproariously, looking unusually happy.

"What's wrong with that? It's perfectly normal!"

Arcueid tilted her head, giving Aoko a strange look, then continued chatting and laughing with Eiji.

"Who's that?"

"The fishing guy."

"What a weird nickname, hahaha!"

Arcueid pointed at the passing blue-haired lancer, covering her mouth as she giggled.

"(﹁﹁)~→"

Aoko pretended not to care but kept shooting conflicted glances their way.

Arcueid and Eiji were standing too close, making her feel like Arcueid might hug him at any moment.

This made Aoko completely unable to stay calm.

Yet she couldn't say much about it, as she didn't have the standing to do so. She could only watch with a tinge of jealousy as Arcueid was repeatedly charmed into soft laughter by Eiji's bizarre remarks.

Aoko suddenly realized something.

Although speaking with Eiji face-to-face was enough to drive anyone mad, from an observer's perspective, the guy was actually quite humorous. His endless stream of eccentric comments easily caught the attention of inexperienced young women.

It's just that his face greatly overshadowed this advantage, while that infuriating mouth of his significantly weakened the appeal of his looks.

If he were like Kiara Sessyoin, with every move exuding an inexplicable sensual charm, this city would have descended into chaos long ago.

From this perspective, it was fortunate that this guy was such a goofball.

While Aoko was lost in her random thoughts, the three of them had already arrived at the foot of the northern suburbs' mountain.

"Seems a bit lively here?"

Aoko stepped forward.

She nonchalantly inserted herself between Eiji and Arcueid.

"Hmm..."

Seeing Aoko wedge herself between her and Eiji, Arcueid frowned slightly.

She felt somewhat displeased.

But why was she unhappy?

She suddenly thought about this and questioned herself inwardly.

She didn't understand.

Then she stopped thinking about it.

Overthinking wasn't an efficient behavior.

"It's a stretched luxury car."

Eiji glanced at Aoko beside him, his lips quirking into a meaningful smile as he directed it toward her.

Aoko immediately flushed bright red, awkwardly turning her head away.

Looking more closely, parked beside the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain was an extended version of a business sedan from an unrecognizable brand. A woman dressed as a maid stood beside the car, her gaze continuously scanning the passersby.

That maid looked somewhat familiar.

Eiji's eyes focused on her chest.

What a deep scar, what great fate!

"It's the student council's maid!"

Arcueid immediately recognized the maid.

Mata Hari, Nero's personal maid, always stationed at the student council to serve Nero.

"What's she doing here?"

As the student council's vice president, Aoko naturally recognized her too.

Although they had only met a few times, she had many memories about her in her mind. One could only say that Singularities were truly remarkable.

Coincidentally, upon spotting the three figures approaching together, Mata Hari's gaze fixed on them.

"Mr. Eiji, may I trouble you for a moment?"

She approached with a flawless smile.

"You can still recognize me like this?"

Eiji touched the hood on his head along with the sunglasses and face mask.

"Traveling with these two, it's most likely you."

Mata Hari gave a meaningful glance at Arcueid and Aoko standing nearby.

"You're truly blessed with great fortune, accompanied by beautiful young women wherever you go."

Her words carried a sting.

Most likely expressing dissatisfaction on her master's behalf.

"It's a common occurrence."

Eiji spread his hands, wearing an expression that said "I don't want this either."

Such is the plain and monotonous life of a popular man.

"I'd like to borrow your time for a day to take you somewhere.Mata Hari's eye twitched slightly before she bowed slightly.

"Romulus-sama wishes to meet you."

Eiji shuddered throughout his entire body.

"Romulus, you mean the founder of the Roman conglomerate?"

He asked cautiously.

"Yes, there's no one else by that name."

Mata Hari smiled with a sense of shared honor.

"Aoko, Arcueid, you two go ahead first."

Eiji took a deep breath and spoke to the two beside him.

"Are you alright?"

Aoko's expression was filled with unspoken worry.

Romulus? Wasn't that the divine ancestor in Roman mythology?

That was a truly monumental figure!

Arcueid also furrowed her brows in response.

"It's fine, I'll be back soon."

Eiji shook his head.

The Lancer of the Crown - their character was guaranteed.

Guided by Mata Hari, Eiji got into the luxury car and set off toward the headquarters of the Roman conglomerate.
