Let's Manage The Tower

(18) Blood contract, again

"No, no, no, it's just the two of us... seriously!?

At this time, I forgot to surprisingly use my left eye to check the status of the peach.

If they say it's comparable to Kouhi or Mitsuki, there's no helping it.

In fact, Shreyne and Sylvia also looked stunned.

"No, that's too much for a boulder. It doesn't feel like it's one step away from body magic or swordsmanship, and if you use magic on it, it's not very good, but it's not at your feet."

Conversely, a non-magical battle means you can fight there one-on-one.

"... that's amazing."

Shreyne and Sylvia nodded at the auxiliary examiner's murmur.

"... is that it? I should have denied it.

"No, no, no, it's amazing when you can get to a place that's not far away."

Really ~?

"... eh? I see...!? Well... is that right?

Schlein and Sylvia looked at Kaiseki who was worried about Peach's reaction, but the two nodded together.

"That's impossible."

"Am I not that strong?

Ha ~, is that so?

That's why I wondered about Kaiseki.

"... that? But you noticed the peach, didn't you?

"That's right, I noticed signs of vampire power. You didn't even know who you were, so you couldn't suppress your power?

Sure, maybe so ~

I nodded my peach to check on Shreyn.

I see.... so why is Peach's own strength underrated?

"... why did you say that ~?"

Together with Kaiseki, Peach is also covering his neck.

I don't feel that I understand the criteria of strength.

"Well, guess what, Peach has barely left the village before?

That's right ~

"In that case, it wouldn't be strange to have a different feeling from the general public, right?

"... I guess so. It's true that I hardly ever left the village before I came here."

The examiner is convinced, and another question arises.

"No, didn't you think you were stronger than the people in the village?

"Sure, it was strong, but I thought it was in the village anyway."

Even though she was strong in a small village, she thought there were many stronger people out there than herself.

Actually, that wasn't the case.

"Um... So, there's a request from me..."

"Please?"

"Can I join you?

In a way, speaking of peaches as expected, Kaiseki was stuck in the answer.

Beyond what Peach is saying about his own destiny, it is something I could have anticipated.

Except for one thing about the examiner himself, I think it's okay. One of those points is the presence of Kouhi.

She is clearly on guard against peaches.

If you are as strong as a peach, I think it is also possible to poke at Kouchi and Mitsuki for a moment and harm the study aid.

Of course, it's not easy to deal with Kouhi and Mitsuki, but if you join us and act together at four or six o'clock, the danger will be so great.

I don't know what that Kouhi thinks either.

"... mmm..."

Peach looks anxious at the study aide who is struggling with his arms.

Having seen such a peach, Shreyn began to wonder.

"What you're worried about is the possibility of betrayal?

"To be precise, is it possible to be betrayed or betrayed and killed?

I'll add in my mind that I'm not worried about you.

"I... I won't do that ~"

"Ah... sorry. I don't think so for now. [M] But that's not the problem, when it's time, it's the problem that you can do it."

Sylvia, for example, wouldn't worry about that. Her abilities make it impossible to fight Kouhi and Mitsuki.

The question is not whether we can do it, but whether we can or can't do it.

"Does that mean that if the peach is guaranteed not to harm Lord Kowske, there will be no problem?

"Well, that's what I'm talking about.

"Then why don't we make a blood contract?

This is the contract Shreyn made when he was summoned.

"Eh...? Can you do it?"

"I can do it. Peach draws blood from the bloodsucking family in the first place. If you help me with the ritual, there's nothing wrong with it."

Unexpectedly, when she saw Kouchi, she nodded.

"Um... what is a blood contract?

"Simply put, it's a ritual that allows contractors to ask for compulsion. In this case, you can't do anything that harms each other's lives?

"Oh, can you do that?"

"What are you gonna do? You're gonna make a deal?

In Shreyne's words, he showed how Peach thought.

"... otherwise, is there nothing in particular ~?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"For example, you become a slave."

"Oh, is that so? Of course, I can do it if I want to. You don't need anything in particular this time, do you? I don't think Kouske would want such a contract in the first place."

"If you doubt it, you won't have to. The blood contract itself is not very well known. As long as I know about the blood contract, I guess you'll have to trust me.

I finally felt convinced by Mitsuki's suggestion.

"I see. I believe Mitsuki-san's words and my own thoughts.... So, if you sign a blood contract, will you let me in with you?

"Yeah, that's fine."

Well then, please do it ~

Sure.

Shreyne nodded to the peach agreement and signed a blood contract.

I was wondering if I needed to prepare for a blood contract, but Shreyne told me that I didn't need it.

In the end, all I needed was a drop of blood on the tip of my assistant's finger.

Thinking about it, I didn't realize that Shreyn had a blood contract, but Shreyn only drank the blood of the study aid.

Technically, at this time, Shreyn is doing exactly what she said, but she didn't know what else to do than Mitsuki.

So I asked him how to set the conditions, and he tied his mouth to his promise with the power of blood.

In this case, the conversation will remain the subject of the contract.

I don't even remember making such a promise when I was with Shreyne, but it seems that the person who gave the blood does not need to hear about it.

In that case, it seemed that those who gave blood would be disadvantaged, but in fact, those who received blood would not be disadvantaged against those who gave blood.

The blood of the contractor, the promise (contract details), and the intermediary of a third party are necessary for the blood contract.

There were other details (such as the need for one of them to have the power of a vampire), but since it was going to be a long time, I stopped asking.

"Hmm... after all, blood isn't very delicious ~"

It is the feeling of a peach that licked a drop of blood that appeared on the fingertips of the examiner.

It seems that a lot of blood is not needed in the contract like this one.

"Is that so? If it's not my family, isn't there anyone who says blood tastes good?

"... that? But am I not inheriting the blood of vampires?"

"Even if you're succeeding, you're more powerful. Physically, it belongs to the succubus?

I see ~

"For me, Lord Kowske's blood is the best."

When I saw Shreyne laughing at that, I somehow felt like giving blood to Kaiseki.

Maybe the peach licked my finger and made me feel strange.

"... lick?

I saw the blood still coming from my fingertips, and when Kaiseki said that, he gave me his fingertips.

"Is that okay...?!?

With so much momentum, Shreyne came after him.

"Uh-huh. Well, it hasn't stopped bleeding yet... ah, here."

Shreyn quickly sucked her finger when she tried to say an excuse.

Somehow I didn't feel angry, so I decided to let him do what he liked.

After all, it was a study aid that was forced to pull his finger out of Shreyn's mouth, and Shreyn made a resentful expression.

Incidentally, at that time, the contract of blood of interest had already been terminated.
