Vampires are a race that uses blood magic.

What is blood magic? According to Ryu Se-hwa, it is a power related to dominance.

When I first heard the story, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Domination? How on earth can someone with such an ability be used in battle?”

However, the duration of a monster’s existence tended to be proportional to its size and power.

I don’t know exactly how old Hinamori is, but if she’s anything like Ryu Se-hwa, she’s definitely lived at least twice as long as I have.

It might not seem like it because of the vampire’s unique anti-aging properties… .

Was it because of this? An incredible amount of mystery poured out of Hinamori-san’s petite body.

The bright red energy emanating from her entire body was enough to make the entire space shake.

In front of that great spirit, the wicked hunter who had caused discord between me and the sea broke into a cold sweat and expressed his embarrassment.

“This monster is stronger than I thought. Jinbada! Come help me and fight!”

“Seo, senior… . But, there’s my sister over there… .”

“Your sister is dead, you said it with your own mouth! Do you think that a normal person with no abilities, chosen as the monster’s prey, will survive?”

“… … .”

That’s certainly true.

I felt the need to clear up this misunderstanding before it started a fight and turned the place into a mess.

If a hunter and a monster fight here, what’s the restaurant owner’s fault?

And I’m also a nuisance to Hinamori-san… .

Above all, I saw hope.

I was worried when I heard that he hated and loathed monsters so much that he would kill them, but surprisingly, the sea guy didn’t show much hostility towards me.

More precisely, it seemed like she was confused as to whether I was a freak or really her older sister.

I took a step forward toward Hinamori-san, who was casting blood magic with her eyes glowing red.

My impulsive behavior caught the attention of everyone present.

In particular, the pitch-black eyes of the sea were shaking extremely violently.

“I’ll explain what happened. Then you can decide whether to fight or not.”

“If the purpose is to waste time… .”

“That’s not it. Did you just live a life of deception?”

You guys should have asked for support in the first place.

If time is delayed, isn’t it only us who suffer?

Hinamori, who had been keeping that part in mind, expressed her concern by gently grabbing my arm.

“This may be dangerous.”

“My brother is not in danger.”

Perhaps those words were the wedge. The sea completely lost its fighting spirit and released all the magic power it had clumsily raised.

The punk hunter raised his voice and reprimanded the sea for such behavior.

“Jinbada! What are you doing now!!”

“Senior. Listen. I want to hear it.”

“It could be a trap! Think about what you learned at Hunter Academy!”

“There’s no way it’s a trap. You know that, senior. If we stall for time, it’s actually better for us. We’ve already sent a request for support.”

“You! If you say that so carelessly…!!”

Keep quiet, you punk.

Don’t even think about eating our cute little brother. Hey. Are you glaring at me?

Why would you open your eyes like that to such a small and cute pretty girl?

This wicked bread-loving bastard.

“Be quiet, you son of a bitch.”

“… What?”

“Don’t tease my little brother, Geum Taeyang.”

“… … .”

After what he said just now, the guy was silent.

It was quite funny to see him blankly staring at me with a blank expression.

Ah. I feel a little better now.

“What happened…? Are you… really my sister?”

“Yes. That’s right. Mom is Mrs. Do Soo-jung. Dad is Jin Bo-geon.”

“That, that kind of… .”

The sea guy still hasn’t taken his suspicious gaze away.

There’s nothing you can do. You brought this upon yourself.

You know?

I smiled sinisterly and brought up the memory that the sea guy regarded as the most shameful of his past.

“Do you still remember the sea? When I was little, I wanted a Barbie doll so I snuck one from the neighborhood mart, but the owner caught me and called my mom and dad over. I cried and wrote a letter of reflection and then I just… .”

“That, that’s crazy!!! Are you crazy!!! Why are you talking about that here!!”

town!!!

It’s a shame. It was an opportunity to expose the dark history of the sea guy to the world.

By the way, this kid is still very strong. He can’t move an inch.

As he struggled with his feeble strength, the sea guy finally seemed to have completely stopped being suspicious.

and….

The sea suddenly began to cry.

“Black… .”

“Ugh!”

What, what is it? Why are you holding me and crying? Just let me go and cry.

“I thought my sister was dead. Sob.”

“Ugh!!”

Just let me go!! You suffocating crazy bitch!!

That’s how I felt the sea holding me and crying, when my face turned pale from being crushed by the guy’s huge chest…

Anyway, after the sea guy calmed down, we talked about our journey so far in a slightly calmer atmosphere.

Well, even though it was a journey, it was just that I was tricked by a wicked witch and became her disciple, and I lived like a maid, cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry while eating rice in Sol’s eyes.

The sea’s reaction when hearing this story was really something to watch.

When I heard that he was almost killed by a monster while walking, he was more indignant and angry than I was, and when I heard that he was saved by an unknown witch, he sighed in relief and was happier than I was.

Um… Bada. Isn’t my reaction too much?

They’re just like grandmothers who watch morning dramas…

“And then I became the witch’s apprentice and learned magic while cleaning, doing laundry, and cooking for her.”

“Now, wait a minute. My sister did all that?”

“Yeah. Well. I guess you could think of it as tuition.”

“No… . No matter what, it’s like that… . You’re telling your sister to do all that… ?”

“Uh… Is it weird?”

“No. How could my sister have the stamina to do something like that!!”

My physical strength… does it look that shabby?

Well, that’s not wrong. I’ve never defeated anyone with force before.

“Again. What did you do? What did that person do!?”

bang!!

I looked at the sea guy with a trembling look in my eyes, who was venting his anger by slamming the table, and told him indirectly about what Eugene had done to me.

Ah. But I have to say this. I made Sol eat rice in his eyes.

“What!? You’re putting rice in Sol’s eyes??”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Aren’t you crazy!?”

“No. How can you eat rice with Sol’s eyes? Are you out of your mind?”

I rolled my eyes at the voice of Hunter Geum Taeyang, who suddenly interrupted our conversation.

He coughed a few times in embarrassment and looked away.

Yeah… Don’t you think it’s embarrassing when you think about it? You were the one who kept going wild, saying that it was a monster and that we had to subdue it right away.

“That… I’m sorry about earlier. No, I was sorry.”

“Hmm… .”

“I’m really sorry. A witch? I’ve never heard of such a thing… .”

“Huh… .”

Well, I understand, but it’s still annoying.

Anyway, now two more people have learned about the existence of the other world…

Why, it seems like I’m doing the exact opposite of what the Master asked me to do… .

I glanced at Hinamori.

Seeing as she doesn’t say anything, I guess it doesn’t matter.

At least he’s a vampire with much more experience than me.

“Where is that Master!? I need to see his face! Why is he bullying people!?”

Meanwhile, Quaaaa. I smiled bitterly as I looked at the sea spitting fire from its mouth.

Still, I guess you missed me a lot.

You always tease me, but now you’re worrying about me like this.

“What? I don’t even know where I am right now.”

“Huh? Why?”

“He ran away. He left me.”

“… … ?”

She looks like she doesn’t understand at all. Well, actually, I don’t really understand her behavior either. But I can understand Bada’s reaction.

“Hmm~ He said he left me to fend for myself after completing my training period.”

“… Since when?”

“When was it? Was it 2 months ago?”

“But why didn’t you come to my house?”

“Uh… .”

What should I say…?

To be honest, I was scared.

I was afraid of meeting my younger brother, who was destined to become a hunter, because I had fallen for the evil witch’s trick and turned into a monster.

Didn’t they say that even the sea hates and detests monsters?

Because this is a story I heard from Sister Winter… .

But is it okay for me to be honest about how I feel?

As I hesitated and couldn’t answer, the sea guy slowly added his words, lowering the corners of his eyes sadly.

“If you don’t want to say it… You don’t have to… .”

“No. Um… . To be honest. I thought I would disappoint you since I… became half a freak.”

I may have softened my words a bit, but I think my intention was conveyed to her.

The sea opened its eyes wide and looked at me.

I averted my eyes without realizing it because of that burdensome gaze.

“Me, me? Why me? Why my sister?”

“No… . You say you hate and detest monsters… .”

“That’s…!!”

The senior punk sitting next to Bada stopped him from raising his voice as if he was frustrated.

The disgruntled guy opened his mouth on behalf of the excited sea.

I wanted to snap at him, “Who wants to hear your story?” but since it was a story about the sea, I decided to keep quiet and listen.

“The reason the sea started to hate monsters is because of you, my sister.”

“… Why me?”

“That’s right… , the sea knew that her older sister was murdered by a monster.”

“Ah… !”

That’s what it was… .

Somehow, even though he hates monsters so much, he doesn’t show that much hatred towards me.

… Then, this part was because of my misunderstanding, so I didn’t go home and just wandered around outside.

“I didn’t know that.”

“… That’s what you’re saying, sister.”

It was a sea guy with a vain face who said something unpleasant.

What is it? You? What’s with that attitude?

Explain.

What kind of habit is that, Sister? Huh?

Of course, I couldn’t argue like that.

Because it’s my fault… .
