"Rose, do you have any idea where Aria is?
"Ah, Mr. Richt. Looks like the Demon King is out there. I don't know when I'll be back..."
"Really... uh, what's that doing?
"I'm feeding the bats now. Would you like to give it to Mr. Richter, too?
Having taken to Rosé's realm in search of Aria, Richter discovered Rosé, who was somehow kosher in the corner.
I couldn't find Aria, which was my original purpose, but it's a sight enough to stop worrying about that.
Thirty unwilling bats flock to mesmerize in front of the rosé.
"That's an amazing number... it would be tough to stay here"
"This kid over here is a dia, and this kid over here is a spade. It's cute today."
"You're even giving it a name..."
Rose strokes the bat's head like she was familiar.
Do you feel like your own child?
He had a lovely look somewhere.
It doesn't look very cute to Richter, a normal human being, but if you nostalgic, you'll see it differently again.
"Speaking of which, I've never heard of bat bait, but is it simply okay with blood or something?
"... Actually, these bats don't need bait because my senses are linked to mine. If you insist, I need to be full."
"Huh? I don't think I need to feed you that."
"... Mmm, don't be too mean"
When Richt casts an honest doubt, Rose turns her back looking grumpy.
And I crouched on the spot and went back to making contact with the bats.
Seemed like a pretty bland statement to Rose.
Obviously the tension is lower than at first.
"... Mr. Richter will know if you try to feed him too. Look, try to wrap your arms around it."
"Are you going to bite me..."
"There you go. This is how I'm going to keep you going."
"I'll do it myself...!
When Rosé took Richter's hand as he thought, he created a situation where he could not escape by joining his joints to flow.
If you try to force it to move like this, there is no doubt that Richter's joints will be destroyed.
I mean, there's only one way left to follow Rosé.
I had some resistance to being sucked on blood, but it's many times better than leaving a sequelae on my arm.
"- What do you say? Mr. Richter. Isn't that surprisingly cute?
"... yeah, well, maybe I don't know"
As Rose gave him his arm as instructed, the bat bit Capri and began to suck a little blood.
Its appearance of clinging to and sucking blood with a small body feels indescribably loving when viewed nearby.
There is no more pain than you can imagine, and you may not notice this if you get sucked of blood on your own.
"Well, then it's my turn"
"There's no blood for you."
Rosé's fangs, about several times the bat, were pushed away without reaching Richter's skin.
