I was starting to get annoyed because he kept hesitating and saying strange things.

“Ah… But wouldn’t natural sympathy be better than artificial sympathy?”

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll just leave?”

match!

“Aya… Just eat it, why are you hitting me… But did you eat a big breakfast?”

Rebecca seemed to refuse a few times, but eventually decided to try it once and see for herself.

She sniffed for a moment, nodded, and began to wet a cloth next to her and rub my arm.

“What are you doing now?”

“Um… Disinfection? No matter how hungry you are, you have to maintain hygiene.”

The vampires in the movies and comics I’ve seen just snap at your neck and suck you in, but it’s a bit different when you bring it to reality.

Since I also get wounds on my body, it’s better to disinfect them thoroughly. There’s a chance of bacterial infection.

“Don’t vampires bite necks normally?”

“Ah! That’s an anachronistic statement. I’m being considerate now, too. That’s why short-lived species… are like that because they learned their knowledge from books.”

According to Rebecca’s explanation, it is true that vampires usually bite the neck when hunting. However, that method is very primitive, and modern vampires are different. When the neck is bitten, various problems occur in the bloodsucker’s body. Blood does not flow well from the neck, and the aftereffects are severe.

“Yeah. Many died. But we vampires shouldn’t do that. Superior vampires should protect humans. That’s why I wrote a book, right? The title is ‘The Vampires’ Vampire Methods of Taking Care of Inferior Humans’, so read it later if you’re interested. You seem smart for a human, so you’ll learn it quickly. ”

Hmm… There was a book explaining the races in the library, and I think it was in the bibliography. I thought it was a slap in the face. But seeing as it’s a book written by a real vampire leader, it might be a pretty good book for understanding other races. I’ll read it again later.

“That’s right, you should brush your teeth too. When humans get sick, they just die… Can you wait a little bit? You should drink some water too. Here.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Rebecca put on a loose T-shirt that was lying on the table and picked up the bottle that was thrown in the corner of the room and put it in her mouth.

If you think about it in vampire terms, if my arms are food, my teeth are spoons. It is commendable to keep both clean, but… how nice would it be if I could keep my things like that? I feel bad for Esther, who is cleaning up right next to me.

“I’m really curious, but do other vampires eat this picky?”

“Grrr… Thud. Of course not! But as the blood lord, I have to set an example for other vampires. Everyone respects me, so shouldn’t I act accordingly? Think about it. I’m the representative, so I can’t eat dirty things rolling around on the street. It’s not dignified. ”

A dark room. However, once you get used to the faint light coming in through the gaps in the curtains on the window, it’s bright enough to look around the room.

In the corner of the room, a coffin with an inverted cross on it served as a bed, its lid open, containing a pillow and a quilt. The closet next to it was nearly empty, its one-sided opening. Clothes were strewn about the floor, as if they had forgotten about the hangers. And the bottle containing the liquid Rebecca had just used to disinfect her mouth was rolling around the room again. Hmm… Respect and example.

“…Yes. That’s exactly right.”

“You’re quick to understand. You’re quite intelligent, aren’t you? Come closer now.”

I had already thought so. I had a strong feeling that if I continued talking, my head would just hurt. I should quickly finish the original purpose of giving blood, and spend the remaining time playing with Lina and healing.

Rebecca pointed to Esther, telling her to lie down comfortably. Esther was sitting on the floor with her legs stretched out. Does that mean she should sit on top of her?

Well, now that I’ve come to feel ashamed, I’ve shown you a sight that’s even more embarrassing. It wasn’t long ago that I was shown being tied up and tortured by succubi. I carefully lay down on Esther.

The soft flesh felt on her back and waist. A little further inside, firm muscles were located. It must have been a sign of hard training. Even though Esther’s body was completely on top of her, it was comfortable and did not shake at all. It felt like lying on a soft bed. If I had worn clothes, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy this softness.

As Esther raised her arms so that they were parallel to the ground, mine followed suit. If the soft chest I felt at the head of the bed hadn’t touched my cheek, I would have fallen asleep comfortably.

“Let’s start? It’s going to sting.”

Rebecca came up to me and opened her mouth with an aah. Two sharp fangs emerged from her mouth, shining in the darkness.

“Ahhh! …It doesn’t hurt as much as I thought.”

A subtle feeling. The tooth was buried deep into my arm, about a finger joint deep. Normally, it would hurt if something that big were to be buried in my arm, but I wonder if the tooth had an anesthetic. It only hurt at first, and after that, I only felt a tingling sensation.

“…!”

Rebecca, who had her teeth inserted, showed a distinctly different reaction than before. Is there really a difference in blood between sympathy and anti-sympathy?

I definitely felt the blood draining from my body, but it was very slight. To be honest, I was a little scared before the teeth went in. I had a feeling that maybe all the moisture would be sucked out in an instant like in the comics and I would turn into a mummy. Is this the normal speed, or is it the way Rebecca said it was to take care of the bloodsuckers’ bodies?

‘How long will it take to suck it all up at this rate?’

Esther answered that question. She felt my thigh and began to write on the bare skin with her finger.

[10 minutes.]

“10 minutes?”

10 minutes. It may seem like a long time, but if you think of it as a meal, it’s relatively short.

And… I felt a little strange because I was sucking blood. Even though Rebecca looked like a cornered person, her face was fine. The face that looked up at me with my arm in its mouth looked strangely pretty.

Swish-swish-

[Blood sucking, fascination]

Ah… I see. That’s right. That’s fortunate. No matter how hard I try to move my body, I feel like my pride will be hurt if I get excited by this person.

“…!”

“Ah, ah… Take it easy.”

Rebecca shook her head slightly, as if she realized she was being gossiped about. The area near where she had been bitten throbbed as the fangs moved through her skin, poking at her insides.

[Hands clenched and unclenched.]

“Ah… yes.”

I felt like my blood flow had slowed down a bit, but it wasn’t just my imagination. Having to rely on someone else’s help just to have a proper meal is a race with many hidden flaws.

Maybe… it wasn’t originally like this. If you think about it for a moment, humans were probably a valuable resource for vampires who survive by receiving a regular blood supply. That’s probably why their blood sucking method evolved this way. It was inevitable that they would change into a form that puts the least amount of burden on the victim’s body. If a human dies after biting them once, they won’t be able to get blood from anywhere else.

From that perspective, humans and vampires might be a good match for coexistence.

While I was thinking about various things, Rebecca finished sucking blood and pulled out her tooth. The bulging drop of blood showed where the fang had been stuck.

The two red spots on his pure white arm quickly healed and returned to their original state when Rebecca ran her tongue over them. Does vampire saliva have a healing effect in addition to anesthesia?

“Choo-up, it’s done. Oh, this tastes good, but something feels off. I hope it won’t cause trouble later…”

“Wow♥ After that, it’s over, right?”

Rebecca nodded quietly with a thoughtful expression. She kindly recited one by one the actions to take after sucking blood.

“Drink some water and lie down for another 15 minutes. And if you feel nauseous or dizzy later, sit down and rest with your head between your knees. ”

It seems okay… 15 minutes. Should we talk? I have a lot of questions. For example, the story of vampire coexistence that I just thought of.

“Ah~ I think so too? It was so long ago that I can’t remember clearly, but there was probably a time when we coexisted. At that time, it wasn’t me, but someone else who was the bloodline, and in return for us caring for and managing humans, humans paid tribute with blood.”

I see. The tone is old-fashioned, but it’s interesting to hear stories from experience that aren’t in history books. However, in the last war, they were in a relationship of conflict with humans. If there was such a peaceful time, I should also ask why they split up.

“…I’m actually young if you take away my sleep time, so don’t look at me like that. Anyway, we’ll have to move on to the next bloodline story. As you know, humans can’t see at night, so their activity times are different, right? ”

The problem isn’t that humans can’t see at night, but that vampires can’t operate under the sun.

If a vampire is exposed to the sun, he turns to ash – this is a story about a very low level vampire. If you reach a certain level, you won’t take damage that would lead to death from sunlight, but it’s still difficult to be active.

“The rumor reached the Blood Lord’s ears at that time, and he got angry that he no longer knew gratitude, and that’s how it became. What was the rumor… that vampires were lazy bums who just sleep around during the day? Well… It’s the same now, but back then, it was even more uncivilized, so we should understand the complaints from the humans. It wasn’t all our fault back then. Well, it was before I had properly announced the vampire method, so there were people who died from vampires, and there were many conflicts. That’s why I, the current Blood Lord, decided to forgive them. We should understand and embrace them. ”

If the reason we fell out with humans in the past was because of the aftereffects and perceptions of being sucked, then maybe we can help each other again now. Let’s remember that. …But first, we need to fix Rebecca’s perception.

“Then the second question… Huh♥ Why is my body so hot?”

“Haa… That’s a bit like an instinct. Wanting to give everything to a higher species than yourself. Isn’t that it? Maybe it’s because I’m attractive.”

This is a lie. It was clearly a mixture of the charm effect and the arousal effect. After sucking some blood, I gained confidence…!

If the blood sucking time is that long, it’s obvious that humans will resist, but I wondered how they spend that time… This is how they do it. It’s incredibly cowardly.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but you have to endure it. Hehe, of course I know that the human mind is weak, but if it’s not pity, you won’t suck it again next time? Oh, and you shouldn’t do strenuous exercise after sucking blood. ”

“Haa…♥ Could you please keep your mouth shut?”

This act of blood sucking is quite vicious. I could see why he had such thoughts. It was as if my senses had been slightly adjusted, Esther was the same, but Rebecca looked a little prettier and more impressive… That kind of phenomenon happened. And I don’t have to endure it. I can just make blood again. And pity is…

Rebecca, hearing Hyunho’s muttering, started trembling and talking nonsense again.

“Sympathy and blood are copied…? Then what have I seen so far…?”

“Haaa♥ Ugh, this won’t work. My head hurts so much I can’t stay here any longer. I’ll go.”

If there were more, I think I would do something like that with Rebecca. But, I would be too proud to do that. There is a limit to how much I can accept. I guess I’ll have to go to Lina and ask her for the rest.

Esther opened the door quietly and sent him away, as if she had nothing to say.
