A strange sight for everyone. They saw the aul monster bowing respectfully to someone wearing a neat black suit. The man in the black suit looked normal in their eyes. Because, their strength can never be measured or even just feel it. An entity on a level that was in a different world really made them feel ridiculous.
"What the hell!?"
Someone didn't seem to like seeing the creature they feared humiliatingly lowering themselves. Of course anyone would feel like trash or even lower than that when something taller than him actually humbled himself in front of a figure that didn't even feel a chaotic energy emanating from him like, hey I'm not worse than a donkey.
"Eh? I seem to have seen the shape of that charming face and those dark red eyes…” mumbled a woman would never forget Nathan's charm. Even if he could, no matter if he was an ordinary person or not, she wanted to have it. Such is the person who is obsessed with beauty.
“He was the person I was referring to earlier who was the answer at that time. I did not think, it turns out we will meet him here. Moreover, the current situation is really unexpected…” Commander Dadan said calmly. As usual, he always observed the situation first, afraid that something would be missed by his observations. But he couldn't find anything he missed.
“Oh!? Isn't that the guy over there in the black suit helping out the super cute little merchant, huh?” A man who seemed to be a customer at Alina's merchandise also saw him.
"Yeah. We'll see first, don't move anything..." Commander Dadan ordered.
...
"Raise your head..."
Nathan didn't like people bowing their heads as if to worship him. After all, he was just a being who only had great power with great responsibilities.
“Before that, may I receive a name from you?” asked the aul monster, hoping that he would be recognized in any way even just by getting a honorable name.
"I'm not good at making names. But, if that's what you want, I'll try to find a suitable name…” As Nathan was thinking, his eyes fell on the people who were hiding. He didn't show that he was aware of their existence, so no one would notice either.
However, the aul monsters seemed to have sensed the presence of the previous hunters as well. He was patient enough for that. Right now, his enthusiasm didn't want to be disturbed just by taking care of them.
“Moona, your name is Moona. What do you think?"
The aul monster who respected Nathan so much, was pleased with the name he gave him. Although, he felt strange about the name.
"So... Excuse me, gentlemen..." someone said suddenly.
The one who had just arrived was Commander Dadan followed by several others who seemed to be trying to keep their distance from Nathan and Moona with fear overpowered by curiosity. So that's how they are.
"You guys again..." Moona growled who felt uncomfortable with their arrival. He thought, the figure he respected was not worthy of seeing weak humans like them. Moreover, their attitude is not polite in his eyes. He looked at them fiercely. The radiance of his chaotic energy was deliberately emphasized especially for them, so that they would be aware of their current position.
Commander Dadan and the others certainly didn't understand what was happening. However, what they felt right now was being intimidated by this hall monster.
“Um… Sorry to bother the gentlemen by my arrival or about us which we want to clarify whether you are creatures that are a danger to mankind or not. I did this, because I sensed the danger from all of you, especially you…” Commander Dadan specified a figure that was definitely dangerous, Moona the Aul Monster they had previously recognized.
“Grr...”
Moona wanted to claw at their bodies and tear the insides with her sharp fangs, but his intentions were stopped when Nathan lightly tapped him on the shoulder. The pair of dark red eyes looked at him calmly, he felt calm again.
"Phew... You don't need to single out my humble self in front of His Majesty. It is better for you to glorify him!” Moona shows who is above and who is below. Then, who should get that privilege for his majesty.
"He? Are you the man who helped Alina the Little Merchant? If I'm not mistaken, your name is Nathan, Mr. Nathan, right?” Commander Dadan tried to digest Moona's statement. It was hard to believe, knowing neither he nor the others felt the slightest bit of chaotic energy emanating from the man in the black suit.
"What you say is true, Mr. Dadan, isn't that your name?"
"That's very true, Sir..." said Dadan who was happy, his hunch was that everything would be safe.
"So, what's the matter with all of you coming here? Is there anything I can help you with?” Nathan felt they had some business with Moona. So, he asked like that, so as not to beat around the bush and maybe he wasn't needed here and just moved away from there.
It's a shame, but what can you do? They had learned that Nathan was not just a handsome man.
“Honestly, I'm curious about your relationship with this aul monster...”
"My name is Moona, don't ignore it. The name given by His Majesty should be of concern to you!” Moona seems to have run out of patience in dealing with human attitudes that always don't know ethics.
“A-aah… So, you are Mr. Moona huh? Sorry, I didn't know that earlier…” Dadan bowed his body as a sincere apology, because he couldn't hear Nathan's conversation with Moona earlier.
"It's okay, Moon. Then regarding my relationship with Moona is that it happened not long ago, as a result of me awakening the blood shards of a werewolf, to become a real werewolf. He was previously like a lunatic or a monster in general, having no common sense. But now, he's just like you. What sets it apart is its appearance and level of power. Then, that's what made him respect me so much and want to devote himself…” Nathan explained calmly as he looked at them one by one to see how they would react to this. And the result was, they were really surprised.
It must be so. After all, they thought Nathan was just an ordinary human. But, unbeknownst to him, he can subdue a monster that really endangers the world. There are no words to describe the situation.
“...For that, I ask all of you to keep all of this a secret. Especially for Miss Alina…” was what he asked for. Nathan just wants to live in peace, while he searches for a way to return to his world and fulfill his obligations as a Vampire Lord.
"Alright!!!" Everyone spontaneously responded when Moona's sharp gaze snapped them out of their thoughts.
“Let me vouch for your identity, Mr. Nathan...”
"Yes. I count on you, Mr. Dadan…”
Commander Dadan seemed to be thinking about something after he said that. He looked seriously wrestled in his thoughts.
'For now, I have to offer something great to appeal to Mr. Nathan, so that Mr. Moona can help us in his time of need. Hopefully, Mr. Nathan accepts it and can move Mr. Moona in the future…' Commander Dadan would never have thought that his actions were scheming. Because, he has a good purpose according to him.
“Mr. Nathan, can you hear my offer?”
