-Phew!

“Ah?!”

A small explosion appeared in front of the man who was about to bring down the automatic knife on my shoulder.

It was a weak force that couldn’t even stop the threat, let alone drop the knife in his hand, but it was enough to buy a very short time.

-Tadadak!

“Oh, shit… !”

I used the moment of time given by Princess Mezlen to dodge the sword swing and quickly ran towards the party.

Of course, the guy immediately chased after me, but they were not two men who would just sit back and watch.

-Chae-ae-aeng!

“Where are you going?”

“… I can’t even lay a finger on Lilith.”

I was relieved to hear the voices of two men and the sound of swords clashing behind me, and I carried Princess Mezlen in my arms and led her to Serista.

Since the condition already did not look that good, treatment took priority.

“Saint! Please treat me first!”

“Ah, yes… !”

I looked into the situation by shining a ray of light in the darkness, and it wasn’t a very good situation.

First of all, all five of the fingernails on the right hand show signs of having been forcibly pulled out, and one of the nails on the left hand appears to have been accidentally broken while being pulled out, and is still embedded in the flesh.

It was such intense pain for a woman who had been a greenhouse flower from the beginning to experience, so it was inevitable that she would end up looking like she had squeezed out all her tears and snot.

“Ugh, huff… .”

“It’s okay now, Princess Mezlen. Now that we’ve arrived, all we have to do is go outside… .”

“K, clean… .”

“Yes?”

“K, clean… . Sob, sob, slurp… .”

Princess Mezlen recited a spell while bringing her hands to her lower body as if trying to cast some kind of magic.

Only after I turned my gaze to the hem of her skirt could I figure out why Princess Mezlen was trying so desperately to use her clean magic.

-Oh my god.

“… I cleaned the bottom, so please rest now.”

“Ugh, ugh… .”

-Choo-wook.

… Still, it is right to protect a lady’s honor.

Even at this point, his obsession to erase the traces of his impropriety on his lower body was truly amazing. When I saw him faint in relief as soon as I used the Clean Magic.

“Saint Cerista, how are you?”

“Ma, not so good… .”

“Yes?”

“There are too many missing parts… . Fingernails can be regenerated with a recovery spell, but blood, blood is lost so much… .”

“… Is that so?”

I don’t know about other injuries, but blood-related injuries and diseases could not be cured with healing magic. In this world, blood had the role of transferring magical and divine power.

Even if you regenerate blood with divine power, it will only cause problems because it does not mix with the existing blood. However, if there is someone with the same blood type, it is possible to solve it somehow with blood transfusion magic… .

‘… In this world, you have to transfuse even the magical properties.’

First of all, some of the main characters have the same blood type. For example, the warrior and I have the same blood type, and Silena and Seraphine have the same blood type.

And in the case of Princess Mezlen, I remember that there was at least no one with the same blood type within the warrior party. In the original, there was no blood transfusion event related to Mezlen, so it didn’t matter… .

‘Things are going wrong…’

Unlike when Seraphine was kidnapped, it is difficult to find someone who can give her a blood transfusion urgently.

The most important thing was to get out of this space as quickly as possible. In order to find someone who could use blood transfusion magic on Princess Mezlen, and also to give her a more comfortable place to rest.

‘… The blood in that bucket can’t be used again.’

Even if it is blood that came from Princess Mezlen’s body, putting blood that has been managed so unsanitarily back into the body will only hinder recovery.

Of course, I couldn’t just leave the blood I had collected behind, so while the kidnappers and the men were fighting, I secretly shot the bucket of Mezlen’s blood with a magic arrow.

“Haa, these lowly prey guys…!! Okay, then this time… .”

-Shhh!

“Drink that princess’s blood and kill all of you guys… .”

-Tangrang! Choaaaak!!

“… What, what… ?”

… it seemed like one pattern that should have been added if it was a game was skipped, but now was not the time to worry about that.

In the original, the villain’s plan to drink Seraphine’s blood and enter the second awakening mode was stopped by one of my arrows.

The guy who didn’t expect me to blow the bucket of blood looked noticeably flustered, and Ethan and Gyeomjoshaegi, who were already pushing their opponents, clearly seized the opportunity to win as soon as the last desperate pattern was omitted.

-Crunch!

“Gyaaak! This, this is me…!! This, this grudge, I will never forget it even in hell… .”

“Release, where’s the princess?!”

“I think we should take you to the church first! You’ve lost too much blood, so we have to hurry!”

“Oh, I see! Then I’ll take care of it, so release it… .”

“Ethan and the warrior, please carry that guy’s body! We have to get him out!”

“… What?”

“It’s just like Miss Rosewood said! We need to get this guy out of here quickly!”

“… Ah, I see! I, for now, I’ll do as you say… .”

“Gyaaak!! Hey, stop!! No!! No sunlight aaak…!!”

…No matter how urgent the situation is, we have to finish off that vampire guy.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

-Chiiik!!

“Gyaaaahhhh…!! Let go, let go!! You fucking kids!! Kyaaahhh…!!”

The upper and lower bodies of the vampires, who had been forcibly dragged outside by Ethan and the Gecko, flailed around under the sunlight.

… If it were a game, it would be a rather trivial ending for a named villain who would reappear in Part 4. If it were the original, he would have escaped during the chaos after the rescue operation for Seraphine, recovered, and reappeared.

Every time I played the original game, I felt strangely relieved because I could relieve the desire to take the corpse outside and burn it, but I didn’t have time to just wallow in sentimentality.

“Is there anyone with CS-UR blood type?!”

Because in the process of transporting Princess Mezlen to the church, we had to find at least one person whose blood type matched hers.

“CS-UR! Isn’t there anyone with the CS-UR type!!”

“Lee, Release! I, I think we should start by inviting the church…! Oh, maybe there is some blood left in the church… .”

… I wish things could be resolved that easily, as Serista said, but I’m not sure.

First of all, as far as I know, the amount of blood available in churches in this world has always been insufficient. Unlike the original world, which can be largely divided into four blood types, the blood types in this world are a mixture of magical and divine powers, and there are over a dozen.

Of course, there were rare blood types like the RH- type in the original world, but in this world, rather than having many rare blood types, there were just many types of blood. In reality, it felt like there was an even distribution of types from A to Z.

Not only was it impossible to keep over 20 different types of blood transfusion packs in the church at all times, but considering the amount of blood she had drawn, one pack would not have been enough.

“… … color. … … new liquid.”

Mezlen, who was breathing softly in my arms and whose voice sounded like it would disappear at any moment.

Even if my blood type was the same, I would have accepted the blood transfusion magic, but now I resented the fact that my blood type was that of the warrior and not Mezlen.

With those thoughts in mind, I somehow managed to arrive at the Academy Church, carrying Princess Mezlen. After taking her to the nearest treatment room, I managed to somehow keep her alive using a death prevention spell. … But it was only a stopgap measure, as it was too late now.

“… The princess is not in good condition. At this rate, the anti-death spell will probably stop working in less than two hours.”

“… If you have C, CS-UR blood type, you can recover somehow! Oh, or even CS-AR type as a temporary transfusion… !”

“… I’m sorry, but we don’t have either blood type. There is one priest with the same blood type as the princess, but the concentration of divine power is too high, so it cannot be transfused to the princess Mezlen, who uses magical power… .”

“Ah, ahh… .”

Sigh, why on earth… .

Why do I have to just look at this when I’ve come this far?

Did I spend too much time dealing with the aftermath of the vampire named…? But that guy was the kind of guy who would kill more humans in Part 4 if left alone…. No, but still, Princess Mezlen’s life might have been more precious than the life of people whose faces I didn’t even know….

“… Lease.”

Or maybe it was my hesitation that was the problem. I should have sensed something strange as soon as I got to work this morning and moved quickly. If I had started moving then, I would never have been late.

No, no. It’s all my fault for missing Mezlen at work yesterday. I should have watched over him until the end so he wouldn’t leave work with Harold…

“Release, wake up!”

“… Huff, huff… !”

Somehow Ethan tried to calm me down by shaking my body, but I couldn’t control my emotions.

According to the original story, Mezlen does not die.

After you raid House Auguste and rescue Seraphine, Silena will use her blood transfusion magic on Seraphine to restore her health.

Of course, if it had been according to the original story, Lizzie, Karaham, and many of the Auguste family’s characters and servants would not have been able to be saved.

I thought I had saved everyone I could reach by changing the original story, but in the end, what I did was no different from changing the direction of the train tracks and causing other people to lose their lives… .

“… Did you say that Mezlen student’s blood type is CS-UR?”
