A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 34: Vampire Species Part 1

--Blood sucking species.

Before the girl who revealed her name, Reurus' brain was filled with astonishment.

(Vampire species... Was it a vampire?!

Memories of the previous life that are usually of little use and are not sure even if they are remembered. For some reason, it brought a flash to Reurus' brain at this time.

Vampires or Dracula. It is a word that is faded from the memories of the previous life and is faded enough to be remembered instantly.

Cartoons, novels, TV dramas, etc., are the names of monsters that are not only known to Japanese people, but also to the entire planet. So Reurus could instantly remember what kind of monsters vampires were.

Said the blood-sucking man becomes a vampire in the same way.

It can turn into wolves, bats, and fog.

Said the monster of immortality.

I hate running water and sunlight, and it is said that if you strike a wooden stake in your heart, you will die, but it is a force that deserves to be called a monster. In a world where monsters trek and magic exists, there will be no wonder that vampires inhabit.

The vampire in front of me looks like a girl. But who can say that it is not a false pretence to deceive the human eye? Not only wolves and bats, it's no wonder you can freely change your form.

Reurus fights hard against vampires he encounters all of a sudden. The current location is only a 20 minute walk from the abandoned city of Laval and would be catastrophic if a vampire attacked the city. That should do more damage than the Kimira we defeated before.

Speaking of the monster class, I don't know how high it is. I wonder if it's better than advanced, even if it's not bad. I don't think that vampires are any weaker than Kimira.

What about the vampires after Kimira? There's a demon out there! Curse your bad luck, motherfucker!

Reurus is the only one here right now. It is unlikely that we will be able to rescue our adventurers. It was bewildered that if the opponent became a vampire, they would retreat. I don't think I'll be able to pull back and lead the vampires to the abandoned city of Laval

Even though they were vampires, they looked fine during the day. You may be avoiding the sun with your jacket or hood, but there are limits to it.

Do vampires in this world not like the sun, or are they powerful enough to walk under it? The magic you can feel is not so strong, but the presence or absence of magic is not directly linked to the strength. It is also possible that they are holding back their magic in order to distract them.

The fact that the opponent was a vampire also meant that there was a flock of vampires nearby who had sucked up blood. If that were the case, in some cases it would be dangerous in comparison to Laval, a fortified city rather than a abandoned city.

I don't know how physically capable a vampire is. Instead of feeling magic, you should assume that you will use magic. In addition to your physical abilities as a vampire, how threatening would it be if you used it to 'strengthen'?

We need to fight them alone. It was a realuse that made me feel desperate and want to escape, but I can't escape if the abandoned city of Laval is in danger.

- That means we need to kill the vampire in front of us in order to survive.

Gakin, it sounds like a gear mesh in your brain. And in the next moment, magic overflowed from Reurus, making his whole body full of power.

It is an unknown ability that cannot normally be used by one's own will, but it seems that the body has responded to a critical situation that requires risking one's life. He waved his great sword to wipe out his fear and leaned forward with his back down.

"I'll smash your neck and crush your head... I'll smash a wooden stake in your heart... No, I'll burn it to pieces."

The other person looks like a girl, but there's no reason to hesitate. If you don't kill him, he'll kill you. You don't have to be confused if you're exposed to the dangers of the abandoned city of Laval, not just yourself.

I don't know if a vampire will die if it's chopped to pieces and burned, but at least I can earn some time.

If you cannot kill yourself, you will have to deal damage at a level that will take time to heal and retreat to the City of Laval in the meantime. And we'll have to find someone who knows how to deal with vampires while alerting them to the emergency.

Based on the experience that has been activated so far, it seems that my abilities are time-limited. That didn't take long, and the Reurus rushed into surprise.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Instantly fill the time and twist your body at the same time as you step into the strength to recess the ground. Then he shook the big sword with his arm and centrifugal force and sparkled the steel blade from the bottom right to scratch the vampire's neck.

"Yikes!?

“Somehow” a vampire opens her eyes in surprise. But it wasn't just a surprise that came to mind. While the sword flashed, Reurus saw the expression of abandonment and despair on the vampire's face.

"Hmm!?

Reurus, who saw the vampire's expression, jumped his sword aggressively and strayed.

The slash from Reurus cut through the sky, slashing diagonally the trees that were growing behind the vampire, and the trees that were growing behind them were also rounded up. The trees slashed by Reurus blew up alongside the roar, but Reurus couldn't afford to worry about it.

(You avoided him!?

I reflexively deflected the Great Sword, but I didn't need it.

The vampire girl strayed from her upper body and the revus avoided the slashing trajectory.

Chi!

The vampire's expression may have been a fake. That came to mind when Reurus slapped his tongue one at a time and had his arm say something to immediately draw the great sword. Then he tried to slay the vampire who had been exposed to a gap by straying from his upper body from above.

"Fuggyah!?

…………

The vampire fell flashly behind her with the momentum that strayed from her upper body. The whole body looks trembling and looks scared at the murder of Reurus.

Besides, he was either trying to escape from Reurus or retreating with his butt on the ground. However, she couldn't move satisfactorily because her waist had fallen out, and her despair was darkened by the appearance of Reurus who had raised her great sword.

"... what are you doing?

I didn't wave my sword without asking because the vampire's fear was real. Reurus raised his eyebrows in suspicion, but I thought it might be an act to alarm us, and the great sword remained swinging.

The vampire, who was trembling, cried out barking in response to the question of Reurus.

"That's my dialogueOOOOOOOOOO!

"Ah... I mean, what? Is your daughter from Harrist? You didn't mean to hurt me just by running away?

With his sword in his hand, Reus, who had heard from Eliza, the vampire in front of him, fell off his shoulders. It seems that avoiding the resultant slashing of the intimidated Reurus simply surprised and slipped his feet.

"You're ready to die because you call yourself a vampire... oh shit, I'm already hungry even though I ate so much earlier..."

Apparently, as Esther said, she converted what she had eaten into magic and improved her physical abilities like "strengthening." It was a realuse that felt it, but a hungry bug began to sing a big chorus when he said he should have eaten a horny rabbit a few minutes ago.

(Spent one horny rabbit in just a few seconds of activation? Does the fact that you're hungry right away turn you into magic from where you ate it? That's how you use your accumulated power... I don't know)

Reurus immerses himself in the idea of escaping reality. Eliza shouted tearfully at such a revulsion.

"You're a vampire!? I told you I was a bloodsucker!

(... aren't you a vampire? What's the difference?

As vampires can tell, I've never heard of the word "vampire species" in this world. I decided to ask a question to bridge the perception gap while leaning my neck as to what kind of race it might be.

"You look young, but you've actually lived for hundreds of years, right? If you inhale human blood and turn it into the same monster as yourself, into a wolf or a bat, or if your body is torn apart by immortality, you'll come back to life with a nice face, right?

"Why that monster!? That would be horrible! I mean, where do I look, I think I've lived for hundreds of years!?

"... tone?

"This is not an Auntie's imitation!

Eliza waves her arms around without wasting her time. The hood turns over and reveals its bare face, but there are no long teeth peeking at the mouth.

If you judge by the appearance alone, it looks a little younger than Reurus. The long blonde hair with peach color was shaking in the wind, but it looked like it was badly damaged because it was not being taken care of.

Although Eliza's face is cute, her charm has been halved due to hair damage, cheeky burns, and even the neighborhood below her eyes. Her lips were dry and dry, and her hands and feet, which were slightly visible from the coat, were as thin as dead wood.

It will not be the case simply because you did not eat for a short period of time. That is whether he was engaged in rough labor on an annual basis, as in Reurus, or was less fortunate with his diet, or both. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so thin.

--It looks like it was you.

When I spent many years as a serf in the village of Shena and was sold as a slave. Kimira attacked me on my way to the mine and I was able to escape with all my life. Reurus thinks he's still lucky, but he can't say he lived a blessed life.

Still, I remember my previous life, I lived a company animal life in my previous life, and I had the mental toughness to survive even eating insects, weeds, and tree roots.

How about the girl in front of you compared to yourself? Reurus thins so thinly that he can only describe it as frivolous that he is likely to fall down in the future, and he thinks it is no different from his former self.

And once you think about it, you can't be hostile. Reurus throws a big sword on the ground and exhales a complex emotional sigh.

"Ah... is that so?"

Because I was walking barefoot, my feet were worn out, and blood still seeps. I could see that there had been a lot of trouble up to here, and Reurus scratched his head like he was in trouble.

The expression of Eliza's tearful eyes twitched slightly as to what she thought of Reurus, who had put down his great sword. Gradually, large tears began to accumulate, and as she sneezed, her cheeks fell off.

"Hiku... uu... guu... why... why did you run away so far... to see me like this... what did I do..."

Were the threads of tension broken or were the swords of Reurus scary? Reurus' chest aches with guilt when Eliza starts crying like a toddler.

--If this was an act of deception, there's nothing I can do about it.

There's no point in deceiving Reurus, who's just an adventurer in the first place. Regardless, Reus is a resident of the abandoned city of Laval, as long as he enters Laval surrounded by walls. From that point of view, Reurus thinks it was a coincidence to meet Eliza.

Reurus poked his knees and gazed at Eliza, lowering his head deeply.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault I'm so quick."

To name the original cause, Eliza might have named it a vampire, but it was she who mistook it for a vampire and slashed it.

As she noticed Eliza's frightened expression and shifted the course of the Great Sword, Eliza would not have been hurt a single time without falling back. Still nothing scared him, Reurus took his hand off the Great Sword and appealed to him that there was no hostility.

Even if Eliza's appearance changed in the next moment and she attacked, if she was attacked in this state, she would not be able to avoid a counterattack.

Still, the child is crying because of himself. There must have been a problem with Eliza's way of naming her, but it was Reurus' decision to cut her to pieces, even though she stayed in intimidation. I was wrong to mistake the vampire for the vampire.

Elizabeth didn't have a problem - but when the child cried in front of her, Reurus did too. You can't just grasp the big sword again and slay Eliza sitting down.

Perhaps the vampire species is similar to the vampire in this world. If this is going to hurt the abandoned city of Laval, we should kill it here. However, there was too little information at the moment to judge anything.

Eliza didn't say anything and didn't move to apologize to Reurus. I just sneezed up and wept, and I didn't seem to be able to say anything.

Instead, cu, Eliza's belly makes a lovely sound. Reurus, who was drawn to the sound, raised his face, and the redness began to appear on Eliza's face, which had been crying until now.

I wipe my tears with both hands so I can't see the whole face. However, my ears became red.

"Can you stand? I don't know when the monster will come, and I'd like to relocate...."

If you did not hear the belly bug ring for the time being, I suggest you leave this scene.

"Guzu... I can smell the meat burning in the distance..."

Apparently, he came here to sniff out the smell of the horny rabbit. Reurus thinks he would have done the same if he had been in the opposite position.

"But I can't... my hips are falling out and I can't move..."

Eliza said that while wiping her tears. When he heard about it, Reurus confirmed that there were no signs of the monster, and he pulled out the big sword that was poking into the ground and put it in the sheath that was throwing it out. Tightening his sword belt and carrying his great sword, he held his knee by Eliza's side.

"Then let me carry it. Twenty minutes' walk from here will take you to where I live. I don't know if you're worried about being transported by someone who's suddenly been slashed, but just hold on till then."

"Wow!?

Say no and put your arms through Eliza's lap and back. After that, Eliza shouted in surprise as she lifted her body.

It's a princess hug, as the saying goes, but Reurus is in a hurry just from the inside.

The heavy equipment I wear makes it quite painful, to be honest. However, I feel guilty and can smile ambiguously when I leave the big sword and new leather armor that Dominic gave me.

"Think about what I have to make amends for. Let's start with my city, the abandoned city of Laval."

No matter how heavy it may be, it was myself who caused this situation. Tell yourself that this would be one punishment, and Reurus returned to the abandoned city of Laval with a heavy footstep.
