I Was Kidnapped by a Vampire Queen, and Now the Vampire Born from My Soul Wants to Take Me Back

Inside the café, Clara was still staring at the door Matt had left through.

She had one hand on her chin and a thoughtful expression.

"Role-playing game…" she murmured.

Then she smiled a little.

"I didn’t know Matt had such weird friends."

From behind the counter, the cook looked up.

"Matt has friends?"

Clara blinked.

"Well… I guess."

The cook looked at the door.

Then he looked at the cat ears Matt had left on the counter.

"And he left without finishing his shift?"

Clara lowered her gaze to the ears.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Then to the mess of cups they still hadn’t finished cleaning up.

Her smile turned stiff.

"Ah…"

At that moment, the manager’s office door opened.

Clack!

A tall, thin man with a smile that looked way too corporate stepped out, holding a folder in one hand.

"Where’s Matt?" he asked.

Clara froze.

The cook pretended not to hear.

The cat ears rested on the counter like evidence from a workplace crime scene.

Clara swallowed.

"Uh…"

She remembered Matt’s words.

"If the manager asks… tell him a customer kidnapped me."

Clara looked at the manager.

Then she looked at the door.

Then she looked back at the manager.

"A customer took him."

The manager blinked.

"What?"

Clara smiled awkwardly.

"For a role-playing game."

The manager stared at her for a few seconds.

Then he lowered his gaze to the folder.

Then to the cat ears.

Finally, he sighed.

"I’m deducting the uniform from his pay."

Clara’s eyes widened.

"But he was kidnapped!"

"Then he can bring a note."

Clara had no idea how to respond.

Outside, the café bell rang again as another customer came in.

Cling!

Clara took a breath, adjusted her apron, and smiled again.

"Welcome, Master. Would you like to order something special today?"

But as she said that, a small part of her was still thinking about Matt.

About the white-haired girl.

About the vampire queen.

And about that supposed role-playing game.

'Maybe I really should ask him to invite me,' Clara thought curiously.

Not knowing that, for her own good, Matt absolutely never should.
