Episode.70 Preparation to inherit the throne

【Oh… what if I say that?】

I told Illya, who spoke as if she could rely on me, that I had torn down the window.

‘No… If something embarrassing happens, I can consult you?’

【Are you really… clueless?】

“My dear.”

Illya said in a low voice, lowering her head and slightly rolling up her right sleeve.

“Please come here.”

Then he stretched out his fern-like index finger and twitched it as if to invite him to come.

I thought about my mistake for tearing down the window, so I obeyed Illya.

I got up from where I was sitting and approached Illya.

“Okay… just lower your head towards me a little more…”

“Like this?”

“Yes, just like that.”

Ilya just grabbed my neck.

And my butt was slightly bent from the chair I was sitting on.

– width.

Immediately her sharp fangs penetrated the thin skin of my neck.

“Ugh…”

【… What are you doing?】

I still haven’t gotten used to this unpleasant feeling of my blood being sucked out.

No, it’s strange that people get used to having their blood sucked.

I’m normal.

Is doing this with the monster inside the gate the right thing to do as an association hunter?

Considering his meaningless current affiliation, it doesn’t matter because he is close to being a villain.

In my head, an angel and a devil are engaged in a fierce battle.

What should I do?

As the sharp fangs stuck in my neck fell out, the blood in my body began to rapidly fill that area.

Illya carefully licked the wound made by her own fangs on my neck as if she would not miss even a single drop of flowing blood.

Jinjo’s spit. In other words, her saliva has the ability to heal minor wounds.

That’s why it prevents my life from being threatened by excessive bleeding while leaving no scars on my neck.

Illya finally finished sucking blood and completely removed her mouth from my neck.

And he immediately whispered to me.

“I felt your heartbeat, body temperature, and these fangs from your most vulnerable place… I will forgive you for this… Next time you do something like that again… You know?”

【What did he say?】

‘… I don’t know.”

I don’t even know if this is something I’m saying to Illya, or if it’s an answer to something Chaewon asked me.

It’s just that my head isn’t rolling right now.

This also seemed to be because a lot of blood was being lost too quickly.

It may seem like a perverted thought, but I thought this feeling of dizziness felt a little pleasant.

Illya put her butt back on the chair again.

It seemed like there was a red thread around the corner of her mouth.

He returned his right sleeve to its original state and wiped his mouth with his hand.

“It was a good meal.”

Soon, light flowed from Illya’s body.

Like the moment I grew up.

【huh? Haven’t you become a little more mature? I think the body is a bit big…】

As Chaewon said, Illya has become a little more mature.

She originally looked like a child, but now the atmosphere around her was quite different from before.

However, in my eyes, elementary school students have grown up to barely look like middle school students.

“Now! So, shall we put it into practice right away?”

“What?”

Illya suddenly got up from her chair and ran into the mansion.

– Boom!

“Is there anyone here?”

As soon as she entered the mansion, she called the servant.

There was no employee who responded immediately.

Of all the vampires living in this mansion, most of them sleep or stay in their rooms and never come out.

So the employees don’t even bother to work.

Because the light cleaning was already done in the morning.

Although there is no additional work to be done, it is natural that no one voluntarily works.

‘The fact that there are no users…’

“… I called you, no, did you call me.”

Light purple hair.

Triche approached Ilya.

‘There is this.’

Her hair was matted, probably because she had stayed up all night, and dark circles remained under her eyes.

‘I heard from Allukid, a commoner but still a rookie.’

【Ugh, that talkative guy back then… Surely, just like he said, that girl is a bit charismatic…】

“… What is it?”

At that time, I heard Triche muttering in a low voice, as if she was clumsy at her job.

She seemed embarrassed when she saw Illya.

‘… It’s worth being embarrassed about.’

Because it drank my blood earlier and grew physically.

To express what she must be feeling, the child whom she thought was an elementary school student yesterday has suddenly grown up to be a middle school student.

‘… Is it there?’

“We are going to the country of the elves, so hurry up and prepare the carriage!… But, make sure your father doesn’t find out…”

**********

-It rattled. -It rattled.

I am now in a rickety carriage.

because?

The intention was to go get the ‘Sechidog’ that Illya had mentioned.

Even though quite a bit of time had passed, there was still no destination in sight.

Unlike its slowness, the carriage rattled dynamically.

The driver was Triche, the servant who had responded to Illya’s call earlier, and was driving the carriage.

I never imagined that Triche could drive a carriage.

She just looks like the daughter of a noble family, but I had no idea she would do something like this.

The way Illya took Triche as her coachman was by simply paying him a lot of money.

This kid is… a kid? He might not be a kid anymore.

Still, if you have a middle school body, you are no different from a kid in my eyes.

This little boy thinks everything in this world is as long as he has money.

‘…’

In fact, everything is possible as long as you have money.

Things that couldn’t be solved with money weren’t solved because there wasn’t enough money.

As a person living in this Republic of Korea, it is inevitable that materialism is engraved in one’s bones.

I suddenly had a craving for the liquor that I couldn’t finish a long time ago.

by the way.

The excessively shaky carriage was very uncomfortable.

Also, sometimes it would shake violently, and every time I would hit my head on the ceiling.

This carriage with a low ceiling is made exclusively for Illya, so it is not suitable for an adult man like me to ride.

Every time I hit my head, Chaewon laughed at me.

Illya covered her mouth with her hand and laughed a little.

I could see it slightly from my seat, and I could clearly see that she was holding back the corners of her mouth from rising.

【Ugh, I feel like throwing up.】

Chaewon, who was laughing at me, quickly became tearful.

‘… Do ghosts vomit too?’

【It comes out only when you eat something… That’s just the way it is.】

The background of the ‘world’ in the gate appears to be the medieval era.

In other words, the feeling of riding a carriage passing on this unpaved road causes us fatigue in a way that cannot be compared to the comfortable means of transportation of our modern times.

Like a country road, the vibrations and rattling noises that come as you pass by on an unpaved road are constantly heard to the point of being tiresome.

Illya doesn’t seem to feel any discomfort at all.

Is it because she has no experience with modern culture?

We are in this situation because of the negative experience.

In this enclosed space, it feels like it is isolated from the outside, creating a sense of stability.

The only way to see outside is through the window in the carriage.

Every time I rode a carriage and watched the scenery flow by, I felt a sense of authority, as if I had become a nobleman of that era.

“Oh! Look at that!”

Ilya suddenly stretched out her hand beyond the window.

“Illya, it is dangerous to take out any part of your body through the window.”

The low voice of Triche, who was driving the carriage outside, could be heard.

“Yes…”

After hearing those words, Illya immediately turned her hand back inward, but her fingers were still pointing in the same direction and her red eyes were looking up at me pitifully, as if asking me to respond to her words.

“… What is this?”

I followed her fingers and looked out the window.

At the tip of that finger was a tree that looked very small.

“What… it’s just a tree?”

When Illya saw my reaction, air got into one of her cheeks.

“Ugh… It’s not just a tree! That is the big tree named the World Tree. I don’t know why they consider that sacred, but it looks good so I don’t mind!”

Yes.

It looked small.

The tree that can be seen from this far away is simply a large tree called the ‘World Tree’, which the elves consider so sacred.

“Oh, is that the destination?”

“Heung, it’s that kind of spring. I guess there are no trees that big in your world, right?”

“Of course… huh? How did you know I came from another world?”

At my words, Illya tilted her head.

“What are you talking about? Are you a fool? Didn’t you say it vaguely when you told me about your past?”

“Oh, that was it. You forgot what I told you.”

I was staring at a large tree called the World Tree.

But even as time passed, the World Tree still seemed small.

According to perspective, the closer you get, the bigger it should seem.

I stuck my head out the window.

“There, a customer from outside. It’s dangerous to do that-”

” That’s it, how long is left until the destination? ”

I ignored Triche’s words, because… it didn’t seem dangerous anyway.

“It’s annoying…”

It sounded like Triche was saying something in a low voice, but I couldn’t hear it because of the sound of the horse’s hooves.

“What?”

“Hmm… Not including the time to get here, there are a total of two days left.”

【What? Have to ride this uncomfortable carriage for two days? I can not! You can never do that!】

I missed my mattress at home.
