章節 135: Ch. 131 - Preparing
"Who do you think is the strongest monster, Abraham." Grabbing a chair to sit on, Thomas sat on it and asked a simple question.
"Strongest Monster? What kind of a question is that?" Abraham looked at Thomas with doubt in his eyes, as if he was looking at a crazy person.
"Just answer it."
"...Fine. who else but Dracula." Abraham shrugged his shoulders and answered based on his current knowledge. However, he wasn't expecting Thomas's answer.
"Wrong."
"What? Are there any more monsters that are stronger than Dracula?" Abraham leaned forward and asked with doubt and hesitation in his voice.
"Tell me, Abraham. Have you heard of the.....Kraken?"
"Kraken? The biggest monster in the sea? Are you telling me the strongest monster is the Kraken? Oh please, the Kraken isn't even real."
"The same goes to Dracula and the monsters, isn't it? People think that they aren't real and just myths but guess what, they're real, so what stops the other monsters like the Kraken from also being real?"
"....You're into something. Get to the point, Mr. President." Abraham squints his eyes at Thomas and curtly says.
"Call me Thomas. What I'm about to tell you will give you the ability to kill Dracula, kill the entire monster population!"

After cheering the entire monsters, It's finally time to prepare for war.
Knowing the humans, their previous visit definitely won't be their last. Jin knows them and once they set their eyes upon something, they're ready to sacrifice even their own kin just to get what they want. That's how cruel humans are. They're no different than the monsters.
"Martha, take Mavis and leave the hotel. Fly as far away as possible." Dracula grabbed both his wife and daughter before bringing them to their room.
"Drac, this is not what we talked about. Let me help you." Martha, Dracula's wife grabbed the hem of his cape and resolutely said.
"I-err." Hearing Martha's words, Dracula doesn't know what to say.
"I think mom is right, dad. You don't have to do this alone." Mavis stepped forward and said, making Dracula much more speechless than usual.
"....Drac." Seeing the worried look that appeared on Dracula's face, Martha got worried and immediately knew what causes Dracula to be worried and it made her heart warm just by thinking about it.
"...I can't forgive myself if something bad happened to both of you...." Dracula's shoulders were slumped and he finally released his pent up worries.
"We'll be fine, dad. We're stronger than you think." Mavis smiled and felt happy that her dad is still the same dad that she knew despite being faced with many hurdles.
A few steps away from them, Jin watched them and felt touched by their sweet interaction.
"They're so sweet, aren't they?" Rapunzel came near him and said while looking at the Dracula Family with a warm look on her face.
"Hey, do you think we'll also be like them in case we have a child?" Rapunzel's abrupt question caught him off guard.
"....What? Children? Isn't it too early? Perhaps, I should finish my mission first before we should think about that." Jin wiped off the sweat in his forehead and replied.
"W-well, it's just food for thought. I wasn't thinking properly haha." Rapunzel cutely tucked her hair behind her ears and said while looking away.
It feels like he just dodged a bullet there.
It's not like Jin doesn't want responsibility, it's just that he has a mission and he can't have children now. If he did, then something bad might happen to his family. He wanted everything to be at peace first before bringing his children to this world.
"...It's not like I don't want children okay? Let's just wait for the right time. As of now, our lives aren't peaceful enough for our children to live in peace yet." Noticing the sad expression on Rapunzel's face, Jin felt a pang in his heart and quickly comforted her.
"I see... You're right! I was too hasty hehe." After a moment of thinking, Rapunzel finally realized how heavy what she just said to Jin and quickly scratched her head and apologized.
"It's fine. I understand. As for now, we should probably focus on the threat of humans. To be honest, I came here a bit confident in this world but after the humans invaded, my confidence was slowly dwindling." Jin said while looking around and seeing the monsters talking to one another, some are nervous while some are confident thanks to his previous speech.
"So, what's the plan." Tigress stepped forward and said, her fists were clenching, showing how much of a battle maniac she is.
"Either we defend or we attack. Since the humans have known where the hotel is, then it is inevitable to be attacked by them." Jin placed his finger under his chin and said, multiple strategies were forming in his mind.
"So, the plan is?" As someone who rarely uses her brains and is more of a brawn, Tigress can't perceive what Jin is trying to express.
"In layman's terms, we will be defending for now. We'll wait until they start their attack on us." Jin remarked.
"How are you so sure they would attack us, by the way?" This time it was Elsa's turn to ask.
"...I just know." Jin answered with a confident smirk on his face. Of course he knows that humans will attack. He has watched enough movies to know that they would attack anything they couldn't control.
"Alright then." Although Elsa was curious and wanted to know the answer, what could she do?
***
After everyone settled in and accepted the fact that the humans have found them and are targeting them. They all finally turned their attention back to Jin. They were thankful that Jin at least gave them some time to adjust and adapt to their current situation
"You all okay now? Good, then let's all proceed with our plan." Jin then smirked.
The monsters all nodded and they gathered up around Jin, giving him a spotlight.
"This will be what we're doing. The humans have attacked us first and I'm not gonna be surprised if they tried to attack us for the second time." Jin first introduced the problem. This is very important once you're assuming the leader of a certain group. Always tell them the current problem first. There's no need to soften your words to not scare them, if they're scared then that only means they're pussies and not a good member for the group.
"Which is why we'll give them a surprise. The Hotel will no longer be a hotel. Hopefully, that's fine with you, Dracles?" Jin then turned his attention to Dracula, amongst the crowd. The monsters then turned their attentions to Dracula, who awkwardly smiled.
"O-of course. I built this place to be the safe haven for monsters and if being a hotel is not enough to protect them, then naturally it has to be improved right?" Dracula really deserved as the unofficial leader of the monsters before Jin, as he quickly analyzed his current situation and gave the best speech he could give without looking like a fool to their eyes.
"Aawww, that's sweet of you Drac." However, unlike the other monsters who quickly believed in Dracula and felt touched by his words, Wayne and his friends all rolled their eyes at the same time. As someone who has stayed and interacted with Dracula for a very long time, they already know how shameless Dracula is.
Safe Haven for all the monsters? More like a safe haven for his wife and daughter. The monsters are just a bonus because a certain monster back then found out about his plan of building a safe haven and thought that Dracula was building a safe haven place for all the monsters, quickly spreading the word throughout the entire monster population, Dracula couldn't even stop the rumor from spreading and before he knew it, people has already worshipped and admired him for what he is trying to do.
Fortunately for Drac, only some of them knew this as Dracula accidentally told them about this back then when he got drunk from his own birthday.
"How will we do that then?" Back to the current situation, a single monster shouted and asked Jin.
"That's simple. We all have unique abilities and powers that the humans don't have. Sure they outnumber us and are smarter than us. But that doesn't mean we don't have our own advantage. You see, we- no I already know what they're capable of. But them? They don't know about our capabilities. They can only rely on their history and myths to know about us but are those really true about us? From what I know, their knowledge towards us is limited." Jin could already see some of the monster's eyes shining in enlightenment.
"Murray, you have the authority over the sand, right?" Jin then pointed at the sand mummy and called out to him.
"Huh what? Oh, the sand? They're my toys." After noticing that everyone's attention was on him, Murray didn't fail his ancestors and shamelessly boasted himself.
"That's great. We can use your ability to build us a wall and many other things. You there, the dragon with flaming hair. Seeing your appearance, I could guess you can make fire right?" Jin then tried to find another useful monster when he suddenly saw a dragon amongst the crowd, albeit a bit smaller than the actual dragon but it's still a dragon.
'If Dragons also exist in this world, then does that mean Gods such as Odin and Zeus also exist?'
