VAMPIRE'S SLICE OF LIFE - Season 2 Episode 9

Ding!

The three heard the doorbell ring. Lith was making tea, Ralph was solving a puzzle he got as homework in class and Dennis was surfing through the internet, and was the only free one.

“Oi Dennis, get the door.” Ralph muttered without looking at Dennis, focusing on his puzzle.

Dennis didn’t argue and went to get the door. He couldn’t ask Lith to do it, as firstly, Lith was busy making tea and secondly, he was the Vampire Prince, a person above his own self. He didn’t bicker with Ralph either as he was doing homework, which Dennis would copy later and save himself from brainstorming over the puzzle.

Reaching the door and opening it, he saw two men in black suits. He didn’t know who they were and so he asked, “Yes? May I be of some help?”

One of the men stepped ahead and said, “Is Her Excellency Arya present in the dorm, if yes, can you please relay this token to her?”

Dennis nodded his head and took the token from the man. After giving the token, the men excused themselves and left hurriedly. Last time when they visited, Arya had warned them not to disturb her and they took her words seriously. Thus, they quickly left after delivering the token.

Dennis had no idea what the token was. It looked like a small ordinary grey plate of some sort made up of cheap stones. But it wasn’t his and was meant for his teacher and so he didn’t play around with it even though he seemed curious about it.

Walking into the living room on the ground floor, Dennis saw Lith standing around the teapot, looking at it being brewed and Ralph sitting on the council and leaning forwards towards the square glass table and solving the puzzle they got in class on paper. He cleared his throat and said

“This is a delivery for teacher. Should I go to her floor and give her this or should we call her from the phone present there and call her down?”

Ralph put down the pen and looked up at Dennis. Lith too looked at him and after thinking for a few seconds, he said in a joking tone

“Let’s call teacher down. We’ve never really rang this bell and today it’s the bell’s time to shine.”

Lith was starting to open up too like Ralph. He was getting more and more comfortable with these two people as days passed and they spent time together.

Calling their teacher to collect her thing seemed a bit rude but the tea was about to finish brewing and Lith thought that, if their teacher came down, she can have a cup of tea too with them and relax. He also had a few questions he needed to ask and thus, the option of calling her down seemed the most viable.

Dennis nodded his head and went to the bell present in the corner of the room. He rang it a few times and the bell made a ding sound for a few seconds. They soon heard Arya’s voice coming from upstairs

“Do you want something, kiddos?”

“TEACH—”

“Don’t yell. I’ll tell her.” Ralph interrupted Dennis who was about to yell and tell their teacher the reason for calling her down. Turning in the direction of stairs leading upstairs, Ralph said softly, “Teacher please come down. We have something for you.”

Ralph took help of the Wind elemental energy in the surroundings and conveyed his message to Arya. Dennis didn’t have such a convenient spell or affinity and thus had to resort to shouting, which was stopped by Ralph.

A few minutes later, Arya walked down the stairs wearing slippers, grey sweatpants, a black hoodie and her black opaque sunglasses. She was tying her hair in a single ponytail as she walked down and as she reached the trio in the living room, she finished tying it and then asked to them

“What is it that you have for me?”

“Teacher, first have some tea.” Lith said and walked towards Arya with a cup of tea on a saucer in hand and handed it over to her.

“Thank you.” Arya said to Lith and sipped on the tea.

Dennis walked towards Arya and then handed over the grey token to her and eaid, “Teacher this is a delivery for you. I don’t know who it is from though.”

Arya placed the cup on the saucer, held it in one hand and took the token from Dennis. She noticed that it was the same encrypted device from before that could connect her with a council member of the CNC. She smirked and thought

Arya knew that arguing or discussing with the CNC officials about the contract termination and things related to her misconduct was nothing but a waste of time. They wouldn’t listen to her even if she provided them with facts and proper arguments.

The best way to deal with these bunch, in her opinion, was to ask a person above them to deal with them. Arya knew such a person and it was also her childhood friend, Mayzin. She dumped all her problems onto her shamelessly without a care and went to take a nap.

It was only now did she wake up and come down due to her students calling and realised, only two hours had passed since she called Mayzin and everything was settled already.

Having a friend at the top was sure a very convenient thing and she wasn’t someone shy to not bother someone like Emilia who always thought twice before bothering anyone. Mayzin was Arya’s friend and taking advantage of her didn’t make her feel uncomfortable even for one moment.

Arya walked towards the couch and placed the grey token in the middle of the square glass table. She took the tea cup from the saucer and sipped on it and said looking at the trio

“You want to see something fun?”
