God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 263 Escarte: Amila

?

After a few minutes of waiting, I saw Silver coming out of the cloth shop, all dressed neatly and proper. She was wearing a white top over her blue jeans and despite being casual, I could see the neatness in her dress and appearance. 

There were black glasses over her face and her pure white skin was making her look like a doll, to be honest. I could see her smile from all the way far as she waved at me from the entrance of the store. 

Looking at her like that, it was as if I were looking at a child getting out of her favorite store after buying some toys. Well, it was fine in its own ways.

She moved closer to the car and opened up the door. Placing a few more dresses, which she bought with the one she was already wearing, she then turned at me with a slight blush. 

"What?"she asked, a bit embarrassed as I smiled before telling her,"nothing much. You just reminded me of someone. Someone who was quite adapted to fashion sense and stuff."

She chuckled as she asked,"a friend? Or family?" as she started the car and slowly moved out of the parking area.

"My other girlfriend," I spoke as I recalled Alissa's face.

-Thud!

She pulled on the brakes as I protected Caroline, while she bumped into the steering wheel before turning back at me shocked, and her face turned complex as she looked at Caroline.

"Caroline knows her, too. I mean the fact that Alissa is my girlfriend, and she is fine with it if that's what you are wondering,"I explained a few bits about Caroline and Alissa's relationship and Silver was flabbergasted as she heard my words. 

"Are you the current Vampire King or something?" She asked me with a really objective look and, intrigued by that word, I asked,"there is a Vampire King?" 

She looked at me for a brief moment before sighing and turning around as she started the car,"there is one. The current one, who became the king recently. By recent, I mean the current decade, by the way."

"Uhuh," I said, still invested in the topic as she continued,"I can't go into much detail. Heck, I haven't even met him yet. All I have heard is the rumors about the King being a playboy who wastes his time throwing away all the power to lust and idiocy. In fact, he has created more problems than solutions… currently he is being hunted by the Vampire society as we need a new, proper king."

Hearing her words, I just… kept silent. My eyes were focused on Silver as she turned silent for a couple of minutes as we drove by the highway. Time passed much before we reached halfway to our journey and she spoke again,

"The Vampires are ideally divided into two groups: the Nightshades, the people who only come out at night and the day walkers, the ones who live on even during the daylight. There is little difference other than that, or to be precise, there is no different other than that.

One of the reasons the Vampire Hunter Society and the Church of Silver still can't completely eradicate the Vampires from this planet, even after so many centuries."

"Vampire Hunter society? Church of Silver?" The heck with those cringey names… sounds like they came from B-Grade movies for some reason, but okay… Not that I am a naming expert, anyway.

"You really know nothing, huh?" she spoke a bit surprised.

"Sorry for being illiterate… now speak,"I spoke grumbling a little as I looked at her.

"To sum up, in a few words, they are Vampire Hunters with their own special powers. Though formed after the existence of vampires came into light, they were existing by some other names way beyond before. 

I don't exactly know the history, but for the present situations; they are one of the ruling powers of this planet along with Dark Oracle. Us Vampires used to be powerful and all but things changed, especially since the last decade because of a stupid king," she answered as clear irritation was visible on her face.

After that, I asked a few more questions regarding the various powers of the society and how they function. Even though she couldn't tell everything, either because of lack of knowledge or her own restrictions, she was still able to give me a clear picture of how things were working around.

Finally, after talking for so long, we were able to reach Amila's school and looking at the time; it seemed like the classes were still 30 minutes away from starting. 

"Hey. We are here,"I woke Caroline as she woke up from her sleep and rubbing her eyes as she yawned a little, she looked at me with a smile as she spoke,"good morning."

Her voice was childish, making me smile a little as she stretched body and yawned a little before getting closer to me and kissing me on the lips as she spoke,"let's go."

I nodded as Silver reached the parking area, and all three of us got out of the car. The highschool was quite big and filled with a lush of greenery all around the area. One can see a couple of students walking down the road towards their respective classes and looking at all this, kind of reminded me of my time with my best friend, Leeway. 

"Nostalgic,"Silver said as she looked around with a slightly blissful face. I looked at her with curiosity as I asked,"have you were here before?"

She nodded as she answered,"Yeah. Been a teacher here for about 3-4 years. It was fun spending time with students now and then." I and Caroline observed her for a couple of seconds before we both gave each other a knowing smile and moved to the dorm area. We reached near the main gate as the guard moved forward and asked us of our purpose here. 

It didn't take long before Caroline explained about her relation with Amelia and after taking down the notes; the Guard asked us to wait in the waiting room as he called Amelia. While we walked towards the waiting area, Silver explained a little about the history of this school and how it was formed as a common ground for all races to study but later on the idea was brought down as a dozen of humans and vampires died in a certain incident.

"Just how much ignorant were we?" Caroline asked me as she looked at me with complex emotions. It was true, to be honest. Whether it was the Zombie energy or it was this vampire thingy… There was still so much that we didn't even know when all of it was happening right below our noses.

"I guess it is a blessing that we know it now,"I came up with the best answer I could come up with at the moment. She nodded at me before a figure moved in front of us, wearing a uniform made up of a white shirt and a green skirt.

"What are you doing here?" Amila asked as she glared at Caroline.
