Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

"There is know-how in tracking the undead. So behind it..."

A night at Semesera dawns and Cenri, dressed in plain colour clothes different from what she has been wearing, says in a serious voice as she looks down at a vastly expanded map.

The word means using the knowledge learned to track the undead for the opposite purpose, but there is no hesitation in Cenri's voice.

But most importantly, it was something else that bothered me.

"Cenri... why are you wearing glasses..."

"... disguise. Dada but... my hair and eye color are very noticeable, because"

Cenri was wearing brown framed glasses, purple eyes looking at me seriously from beyond the thin lens.

However, because of the good material, the impression had hardly changed since before hanging. By and large, there is no way I can deceive my hair and eye color just by wearing glasses.

It suits you... but are you serious? I want to suck blood.

That's so suspicious, I guess I can't always hide myself with a thick robe and hood, but the End Knight doesn't seem to have a sense of disguise.

Cenri bought me a grey coat. Black was good, but vampires seem to prefer black, so they also mean camouflage around there. As a gatekeeper, I obey only.

What Cenri showed was the route across the large river where Semesera was bordered. I can't take it alone. [M]

The flow is steep and the water depth is several meters, with thick stone bridges hanging.

Small and breathtaking, I get to check that the centipede is not good. [M]

"Will you believe me?

"I'm already a Lotus student. I really appreciate Cenri."

This world knows nothing. Vampires are too harsh to survive.

The first time Cenri gave me blood, I had a hand in running away on my own. Senri, who was upset at that time, wouldn't have followed me even if I had escaped.

But I'm really glad I took the risk of negotiating with Ephe and chose the path of putting Cenri on my side.

At that time, I didn't even know that human blood was the only thing that could satisfy my blood urge.

I am now choosing the most suitable path for survival.

"... Fine. This is also the end-knight's endeavor"

Cenri says to my words, with her eyes down. But the voice was just a little gentler than usual and sounded a little sad.

Still, Cenri has a stray. She's smart enough to know.

No matter how close you get to me right now, no matter how good I was, that I was a monster who had to bother people to live.

When the centipede is gone, I have to breathe the blood of someone else.

Otherwise, life expectancy does not exist for me. [M] The time will definitely come to take a different path. So I have to do something to fool her.

The specific benefits of helping me do not exist for her. The sexual pleasure you feel from blood sucking won't benefit you either......

I wish there was a way I could live without breathing blood.

"How do we get across? Can you support my shoulder?

I, the lower vampire, can still walk on water. [M] It will even be harder to walk when you become a complete vampire.

But it's probably impossible to cross such a large bridge in a state where it's about to fall.

You can have Cenri support your shoulder, but she's shorter than me. Maybe a little unnatural. I also have luggage.

To my inquiry, Cenri shook her head sideways in a small way.

"Yeah............... hold the end, fly. If you can fly under the bridge, it's inconspicuous, and if it's this river, I think you can manage to cross it."

It's a much wilder way. But I'm sure Eppe and the others didn't expect Cenri to be so cooperative with me. Not bad.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the neck and joked. [M]

"If you're going to drop it in the water on the way, I want you to give me a drink of blood before you do."

"It's okay. You don't need to breathe if you fall into the water, so I think this stream of rivers will launch you to shore sooner or later..."

"If it weighs, it's the bottom of the water for the rest of your life. I guess I can't even decide my own heart because I can't help it."

It's an unsettling imagination. It's really odd to be a vampire because you're out in the river even though you're fine with taking a shower or a bath.

To my words, Cenri rounded her eyes and put her hands together.

"That's... a very good idea, I think. The End Knight would surely destroy the undead, so I never thought about it, but it would be perfect if we were to seal it up alive, maybe."

"... stop it. There's no pain in the water, and it's not painful, but it's not okay."

"Then I won't say anything nagging. Look, rice... I'll give it to you"

It gets a little hot in my head.

Cenri hesitated to give me her fingers as smooth as the white fish.

The limit of the bloodsucking impulse is ten days. I can double that if I just stand by it, but more than that, my abilities are going down dramatically and I'm going insane.

If you consume Cenri's blood, the impulse for now will also reset the healing deadline. The amount of blood you need is probably not that much.

Even when I was about to be drunk by impulse, I was able to return to sanity just by getting a little blood from my fingers. The only time I needed more blood was the first time I recovered from my neck condition.

If it's true, it's time to bite my neck, but he's not ready for Cenri yet.

When I took the fingertips I was thankfully offered, I rubbed the smooth skin once and led it into my mouth.

The eyebrows of the centipede move tingly. It feels unspeakable to be able to stroke your mouth.

Stick your dog's teeth shallow against its surface as you squeeze your fingers. No pain in blood-sucking behavior. It's like getting stung by a mosquito.

Perhaps the strong comfort associated with blood sucking behavior is also to make it easier to suck blood. According to the inheritance, the one once bitten by a vampire gives its own neck next. Cenri didn't, but I guess that's because her spirit is tough.

Sweet blood pulls the heat out of my head. Unexpectedly exhales hot into the gentle pleasure of passing through the brain.

Although it is somewhat lacking, this feeling of sucking blood is hard to exhaust to the brush tongue. Cenri's eyes giving her fingers seemed a little looser than usual, and Zhu with no heart on her cheeks as well.

Lick your fingers carefully as you observe it. Then, with his fingertips around the back of his hand, he reaches out and lets his hand penetrate into the loose sleeve of the centipede. When its silky skin and skin come into contact, I also feel that the power gained by wonder is increasing.

If we just suck blood, we should be together wherever we bite. But now it's obviously not the same power you get when you bite your neck.

Senri told me in the meantime, adding the information that vampires slowly draw blood from their necks over time, it may be that satisfaction and the amount of power they gain by sucking blood are closely related.

Just narrow your eyes to pleasure and lick the blood off. Fingertips hit the elbow of the centipede.

I tried to go further. So Cenri suddenly pulled his hand in. I return to shield my fingertips from the saliva and gently tap off my arms, which were stretched out.

White fingers have small bite marks, but no blood. And the bite marks will soon disappear, too.

"Huh... over. You drank enough, didn't you?"

……

Don't answer that, immerse yourself in the aftertaste of bloodsucking.

Of course, it's not enough. Not enough, but not enough in reducing the blood suction impulse.

The lack also spices up again. My spirit is not weak enough to be flushed by this degree of desire.

With excellent hearing, I have always found that the heart beats a little faster in a calm centipede.

Carefully wipe the saliva and lift the glasses up tightly in an unfamiliar motion. As if I were going to tell you to put the air back on.

"Through the river... when we get through, we head west. There is a small city. There's also a big city to the east, but smaller cities are less likely to hit end knights"

"… Understood. I will obey you."

Cenri's words are restless. I think it's possible that the End Knight will come to a small city, and I think it's possible that he expects to have made the choice to cross the bridge. But there's nothing you can do if you say that.

Stayed overnight in an inn, showered and dressed Cenri is a radiant beauty.

Wild life should not last long. Either way, if he's alive, he'll always come when he hits the enemy.

I set up an operation to take down Lord. At that point, I was already ready to pay for the firepowder that struck me.

Blood is making me stronger. Take me to a new position. I can see my existence is falling at a tremendous rate.

And maybe that speed is a lot faster than Cenri would have imagined.

§

Leaving the city for the bridge. It's a stone bridge that carriages can pass by, a few meters wide.

Sometimes the sun had already fallen, and few had passed through its sturdy and immense building. But is it a countermeasure for those who attack by the darkness, on the bridge, illuminated by light from buildings like towers nearby?

Cenli was heavily equipped. A large backpack in a plain brown coat that a traveler without money with a carriage or horse can't help but hold. It's the difference between cloud mud and the other day when he was equipped with an ending knight based on white.

Dade glasses hardly seem to make sense, but the impression has changed a lot when you look at them this way.

I don't have my backpack. Because you can't afford to cross the bridge like you can.

Avoid people's eyes and head there and to the foot of the bridge.

"Light wings are made of blessings. Don't touch me, be careful."

"I don't think he's as energetic as touching it."

The water is really tight. A centipede stands behind me that stretches my face and softly hugs me from behind.

If I were human, it might be admiration to feel in these scenes, but unfortunately what I felt was a good smell of blood.

I have an appetite, I really want you to give me a break.

"Hold and fly. The end doesn't have to worry about anything."

"Oh.... I got it"

A centipede slips his arm through my armpit and holds my body. And with all my strength, I flew forward a long time.

My whole body is out of strength. Deposit all of your existence in Cenri.

On the dark water, there was a thin moon and a translucent me.
