Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Episode 1: Precious

There was a lot of enthusiasm in the tavern, whose windows were completely closed.

There are not many people in the store. A whispering but heated debate. Strong alcohol that stimulates the sense of smell.

A silver cross hung on the wall was never seen in a tavern before.

I sat deep in one of the seats and tied my legs. [M]

A small sound of the clock's hands moving. The voices of intoxicated guests are also slightly dark.

Night is coming.

It seems that the word began to be spoken with fear two years ago.

The crucifixes on the tavern, the sorry water flowing around the shop, and the tightly closed doors are all influences.

It was not painful to live under the earth with only a heart. I didn't even feel the pain.

What I saw was nothing. [M] When I managed to deliver Senli, my consciousness disappeared, and when I realized it, three years had passed.

It's a ridiculous story. And even if I spent ten years, the world had changed dramatically in just three years.

The taverns were decorated with crosses, people stopped walking out at night, and almost every city was covered with running water.

The store checks carefully when entering guests, the extra people are not invited in, and of course, the percentage of garlic in cooking is increasing.

"Sorry, I'm out of garlic today."

A girl carrying food and alcohol says sorry to a new customer.

No. Garlic is in bulk in the back pantry. Originally, garlic dishes were common in this tavern before the commotion.

The customer opens his eyes to the words of the store clerk that would not have been possible.

"Ah, ahhn!? How dare you open this evening without garlic!? You know the shop got hit in the next town!?

Vampires come with fear. The price imposed is troublesome, but the opponent is dealing with the vampire.

I know very well because I am a stranger. [M] The flowing water, the holy water, the silver cross, the garlic, is not an insurmountable weakness.

Water is magically evaporated and can be stopped. Silver crucifixes are ineffective unless touched. And garlic - it's a weakness, but it's not like you can't suck the blood of a person who ate garlic.

And so, a girl poking at the fries of strange birds, a famous dish in the city, looked up in the opposite seat.

Platinum blonde stretched to the toes. A luxurious limb that feels like it's breaking when you grip it on white skin as if it's not bleeding.

Millere Noah. Senli was gorgeous, but her flesh, lying on the hospital bed for years, was clearly thin compared to her age.

Until the other day, the girl, who could not even stand up, turned her contempt to the customer's man for a moment, but when she found out that I didn't say anything, she looked at me and said.

"Niisama, what are you thinking?

"...... that cross is not an official cross. A little distorted, the crucifix is ineffective unless it has a solid ratio. That only works as silver."

"!!! I see!! That's right, niisama! I will do my best to be as good as oniisama!! I have to take notes... if it's not a formal cross, it won't work..."

When Millere smiles like flowers bloom, she skips the meal, takes out her notebook and pen (something she got from somewhere), and starts taking notes.

Thank you, I feel a little uncomfortable because I've been with Senli longer than myself. But I'm sure it's good to have a sense of improvement.

And so the man who was involved with the clerk earlier noticed us and opened his eyes.

"Hmm... what is it!? Why are there kids in the tavern this evening!?

Eyes meet eyes. His hands and feet trembled for a moment, and he stepped back like a reflection. And I gathered my strength in my eyes and said with a whispering voice.

"'Well, calm down and sit down. Sometimes there's no garlic in the tavern, sometimes there's kids."

"Ah... oh... that's right."

When the man's eyes lost light for a moment and he shook his neck vertically with a feverish expression, he fell into one of the seats flutteringly.

This is the special ability gained by becoming a noble vampire - "Fascinating Eye" that interferes with the thinking of the opponent with eyes.

This ability is quite powerful, just the ability to become noble.

In particular, we can almost ignore the condition that we don't go inside unless we are invited to do so. It can be hung even from over the glass, and at the tavern, there are rules like opening the door a little and checking the customer's face when visiting, but it can also be hung at that time. And you can invite me.

Of course, glamorous vision is not absolute. Depending on the mental strength of the opponent, professional vampire hunters and knights are careful not to look into the opponent's eyes in the first place. But it is impossible to impose such measures on all humans.

Even in this era of rising numbers of vampires, the scarcity of precious vampires is certainly driving the delay in countermeasures.

"That's right, niisama! Can I do the same someday?

I heard that Millere was afraid. I drank a nice cold tomato juice poured into a glass cup and laughed.

"I can do it. Anyway, I split my blood on you."

§

The age of darkness has come.

It seems that the first class knight, the Epe of the Extinction, lay on the hospital bed.

It's hard for me to believe that the monster that almost annihilated me from a super long distance would fall, but as if waiting for that time, the demon kings who had been in a skirmish all at once rose up against the Knights of the End.

The "King of the Pile", the largest Demon King faction of all, once sent Sable to me.

The King's army, which gathered more than an estimated 1,000 vampires that had never existed before, attacked and destroyed the cities with overwhelming force.

The dominance of the Knights of the End over the army of darkness was, of course, the fact that the Knights of the End were all elite, but the demons and powerful family of darkness - especially the total number of vampires - were not so large.

The premise was overturned. An army of demons, including a large number of vampires, could not compete with the Knights of the End.

They are heroes. But he was human. They didn't have the strength to fight while defending a man with limbs in front of a monster with immeasurable health.

Thus the Knights of the End were defeated.

No - it's not right to say you've been defeated.

They are still fighting. It focuses on Senri Silvis, the heir to The Extinct.

Unfortunately, however, people's cities were scattered. The Knights of the End are also at a disadvantage and cannot protect everything.

The world was engulfed in the vortex of war. The demon kings are still targeting the Knights of the End, but still many cities have perished and countries have perished.

There are many cities that have not yet been destroyed, but the power of the Demon Kings is a little stronger than a trained knight.

The Demon King is also strong, but the opponent is an army. He had his own temperament when he was in Rhinel, and he attacked the main circle directly, but if he hit him from the front, even a noble vampire would be defeated.

In the first place, I was able to fight because there was very high quality Senli's blood.

I had no choice but to be resurrected and pushed into reality.

§

"What's wrong? Look at me."

I glanced at Millere and asked him.

When Millet put her hand on her cheek, she said as if she was in a mood.

"Niisama... she's so cool"

"That's... that's right..."

Is it a side effect of being cool when you're not doing anything, or a vampire's dependency?

Millere is a patient with the Death Soul Disease I once suffered from. [M] And now I'm a family member of this End Baron.

Traveling through the cities, I kept searching for people who were too unfit to live - people whose qualities were too strong for the dead.

Everything - to be a new companion.

To fight the demon kings, to help Senli, and thus to save humans - we needed strong allies.

I promised not to have a family with Senli, but they would forgive me if they were in the same situation as me.

Generally, people who are bitten by vampires are said to become vampires, but vampires and dependencies are strictly different.

Blood sucking is about sucking, but dependency is about giving. I'm sure the Werewolf-making curse that the destroyed "Beast King" had was a derivation of dependency.

Whoever is given the blood of a vampire becomes a vampire.

Is that why Millere started calling me Niisama?

As a result, Millet's eyebrows were slightly raised. That tingling little nose moves.

"Niisama, the smell of the dead is approaching..."

Recently, vampires attacked poorly prepared taverns and shops in this neighborhood.

Until I was resurrected, vampires were supposed to be as rare as fantasies, but these are totally fucked up times.

I came here this time to stop it.

Suddenly the door broke down and a huge chunk of stone flew in to destroy the store. One of the drunks gets caught up and goes underneath.

A strong smell of blood spreads into the store, and the customer screams with a beat.

However, none of Millere's complexion, which was supposed to have been just human until the other day, had changed.

However, when I move my nose small, I smile and say.

"Niisama, can I kill you? I will definitely meet your expectations."

"Oh, that's fine. Try it."

At the same time as you accept my words, Millet's flesh expands. [M] The thick coat is ripped to the flesh from the inside and silver fur appears.

It's the exercise of power.

The family of vampires can only be made from lower ranks (lessers), but she was a vampire from the beginning when she received the blood of the noble vampire Noble Vampire.

And now that she's a vampire, her soul, like me, keeps falling into the desert.

Millere was transformed by a silver wolf with a smart body.

Why is the mirror so cool when it changes, even though it's the same color as the dog I once transformed?

When the wolf glances at me with a glimpse of intelligence, he changes his posture, punches through the walls of the shop and jumps out.

Rubble falling apart. I took a bite of Millet's leftover fries and sighed. [M]

If your instincts get too strong, you'll have to kill Millet.

I'd like to avoid it as much as I can, but he was dead anyway. I'm sure she won't regret it.
