Old Vampire and a Holy Girl

141 words: Vampires never leave the castle.

"It's morning!

Gashhhhhhhhh!

Thick, black blackout curtains can be pulled open at once.

Bright white morning sunshine entering your room relentlessly.

"Hey, Virgin, good morning"

The man raised his torso on a bed with a canopy and greeted him with a low voice.

As he stood up, he stepped on a carpet with long hairy feet and moved right next to the bed to a position where there was a visitors' low table.

I sat down on the couch, showed the couch face to face, and said:

"You're early this morning. Well, sit down."

"Oh, yes...... good morning"

The Virgin sits on the couch as recommended.

Soon a girl in maid clothes appeared in the room.

The girl, with dark hair and one eye hidden, puts a cup for two on the table, pours tea from a thin teapot with a pour mouth, places a plate with scones and the like on it for a toast, and lowers to the corner of the room.

"I'm sorry that it's time for the fruit season to change, but the dried fruit I made looks good. So I'd like to beg your pardon for one season's late fruit scones."

"Ah, yes..."

"... Something's wrong with my teeth this morning, but what's wrong?

The man saw a girl sitting in the front with red eyes.

The girl is a Virgin.

A long time ago, in a time when the reality of vampires and dragons was still widely recognized, when it came to the Virgin, it felt like a 'sister who would go out of the world'.

A mad warrior who repeatedly destroys and kills in the name of God. If it was to make God's teachings right, it would have been a nasty act.

But the modern Virgin was predominantly charitable, and thus seemed to take a trip to the needy elderly (and needy), asking questions, solving problems, and then getting support using the social system.

That's what it feels like about the profession of Virgin, but it doesn't feel like she's doing that kind of charity personally, just because it's 'work'.

He's a man of light. Believe in friendship, love, and respect for the sum of people.

People all over the world think they can understand, preach that there is nothing too late for the world, and connect the old hikikomori to the girls with the flames of darkness in their hearts.

Its peachy eyes always sparkle and its white skin is vigorous and always hydrated.

He looks so cute, but some robes don't give him much body line, or he doesn't feel 'woman' very often, and he's more active and healthy than that.

Even when I'm dealing with her, I can have a conversation without much concern for gender or age differences. It may be said that it is a kind of alien energy that can create this atmosphere.

Someone with light attributes, like a vibrant hand and foot.

That was the 'Virgin' from a man.

But what do you say, this morning's Virgin is somewhat unheeded.

Are you messing with me or are you hanging around...

"If you're not feeling well, you can rest a little..."

The man cares about the Virgin and says:

The Virgin said, "Yes, no!" He shook his head sideways.

"I'm fine with my health! Because energy is the only thing that matters!

"If your handles are just fine, don't let many people in the world run out of 'handles'"

"Thank you.... but lately I don't know... I've been thinking that there's only one place I can really hang in there that's just fine"

"Hmm. Trouble? If it's okay with me, you can make it clear."

"But..."

"What, I don't force you. Trouble is not that it would be easier if it were clear to anyone. Some others will not understand, and others will want to choose who they will point out carefully"

"That's not what I'm saying..."

"Well, tell me. What, I won't say anything else. I don't have anybody else to talk to, and I don't know about my family."

"... uh, well, I'll tell you..."

"Go ahead."

"I haven't been very productive lately."

"Fruit?"

"... you haven't been able to bring the hikikomori seniors out to a place where they interact with others..."

……

The hikikomori senile old man pressed silence.

The Virgin quickly follows.

"Oh, no, that, not just about my uncle!

He seems to be a hikikomori senile old man.

"Aside from your uncle, there's quite a few of you, isn't there? If you want to engage with the community and stick around the house…"

"Well, in my case, you're thinking of engaging with the community... hmm. Well, well, fine there. Now. It's more your problem than that. Tell me more."

"So... that's not just my uncle, is it? Older people whose acquaintances at a young age tend to die of life expectancy, move out, or be hospitalized because of illness, have a rare motivation to interact in the community. It's part of my job to get it out there somehow... but lately, it hasn't worked out."

"Shouldn't you be leaving those old people alone in the first place? I think there are a lot of people in the world who want to be alone..."

"I also recognized through my uncle that there are such people... but there's a reason why we shouldn't leave them alone"

"Ho."

"For one thing, it's for the safety of the elderly themselves, isn't it? Suppose, for example, there were 'those who are in worship at the temple every morning at six o'clock'. That's better. If you're not in the temple for two days, this one also says, 'Is something wrong?' So you can move. Besides, if you can't see your neighbors going out every morning, you'll wonder what they are."

"Right."

"But it's hard to discover anomalies in those who don't have a habit of engaging with such a society. It's fine to concentrate on your hobby at home alone, but when something happens, you don't realize you're alone, and there can be cases where you lose your life just like that. Therefore, for your own safety, I want you to create an acquaintance who knows your behavioral habits."

"I see."

"Secondly, it's for local safety."

"... where there was one hikikomori, do you bother me or something?

"By hikikomori, I don't have a full-scale hikikomori like my uncle. Ladies and gentlemen, if you need me, I'm going out."

……

"If you don't know your face then, you'll be perceived as' an old man wandering around you don't know '. This was a surprisingly serious problem in the care given to the safety of children yesterday… not just for the elderly, but also for the young, but that's what I want people to be recognised for their existence in order not to miss the real' suspicious' and not to be 'people mistaken for suspicious' in the community"

"Hmm."

"So I was working a little hard to get the old folks and the hikikomori out there... you mean it hasn't worked out lately"

"Are you getting more stubborn old people?

"No, I myself wonder 'is that way of life also ant' and I'm dying to get over the act of taking him out forcefully..."

"Whew!"

The stubborn old man with a hikikomori mood rode himself over.

"Though! … Nevertheless, I believe that I should, after all, go outside… No, I do not have to go outside to engage with society. That won't shake. Connecting people is a great thing.... Uncle, you will no longer deny this word of mine, will you?

……

Unexpectedly push silence.

Indeed it is.

'No, you don't. One of us is fine!

... I once told you that. I still think. But - while I think 'life is wonderful on its own', as much as I do, I am starting to think 'life with others is wonderful'.

Letter.

I sent a stuffed animal and got a thank you letter.

That is the 'job' in which the giving and receiving of money occurred. Contractual. Men just did their job.... Still, the thank-you letter was like getting your eyeballs hot.

Above all, the two concepts of 'life is wonderful by itself' and 'life with others is wonderful' are not at odds.

Both, great.

Values are diverse. Some want to be alone, others want to engage with others. If one is great, one is inferior, and so on, you don't have to think about it that way.

... that's what would happen if you put it in an extremely objective position.

However,

"The Virgin."

The man looked at the Virgin with his red eyes glowing.

She presses her back against the back of the couch, as she was pressed.

"Hey, what is it?

"It's you and people. Let's shake it too. … but don't forget where you stand."

"... standing position?

"That's right. You've been engaging the old hikikomori with society, haven't you?

"... Yes"

"When it's great to be out in society, that's what you've been believing in. And you said that your beliefs are still the same, right?

"Yes."

"Then don't shake it.... Listen, Virgin. The old men you've been out there with had philosophy. There was a creed that being alone was great. And you persuaded him, and you scolded him, and you took him outside."

……

"You've changed the way humans live. The act is indisputable aggression.... If the invading side also has circumstances, beliefs and philosophy, and you shake to such an extent that you realize that, you are disqualified as an invader. You no longer deserve to change the way others live."

"… invasion, is it"

"Your justice is evil to someone. … most of all, humans avoid recognizing their actions as evil." Involving the Hikikomori Old Man in Society "- If you stop and notice the evil side of the act, I guess it's also natural as a human being"

……

"But I'm not interested in 'Just Ningen' or anything. If you stop to the point where you realize the evil nature of your actions, you should never come to this castle again.... Look, I'm a human. I recognized you as my enemy because you are the undisputed invader."

"I'm an invader."

"That's right. Believing in the excellence of connecting with others and preaching to me that there is an infinitely spreading shimmering world outside the house, you were such a serious threat that you became so wary that I would be invaded."

……

"But I don't feel threatened by shaking you.... engraved in my heart. I am the one who affirms your vice, your aggression. After knowing that they have a situation, and dyeing everything with your own convictions, only your brilliance is the light that burns vampires (me) in the modern age."

Men keep staring at the Virgin with zippy red eyes.

She looked serious,

"... thank you"

I smiled, as if even the cliché had fallen.

"Uncle, you've revitalized me."

"... well, I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, I don't like you shaking, getting lost, falling into evil and wondering if it's okay to lose sight of yourself. Anyway, then this battle is my win."

"Thank you. I blew it off thanks to you. I push what I believe in… spreading great things, whether they hate me or think I'm evil. That's fine."

"From the beginning, I think that's what religion is.... affirming something doesn't mean denying something. But forcing others to acknowledge what they believe in is an act of affirming something and denying something. There comes evil and justice."

"I can be evil"

"That's right. I affirm your vice."

"As long as I'm me, my uncle will admit it."

"Let's fight it while we admit it. As long as you invade me, I will continue to fight, too.... No, I'll keep invading you, too. That's our relationship, isn't it?

"Perhaps so.... Now uncle, here's one, let's go outside!

"No, I'm not answering. Because I'm a vampire."

The battle continues.

No word is caught by any bait.

Vampires don't leave the castle.
