The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

"Uh..."

"I'll start by thanking you. Because Bundersnatch told me you protected me."

"No, that's because... somehow, I'm just saying that my body has moved"

"That's for me, I want you to say... well fine. Anyway, thank you."

"Uh... you're welcome"

I didn't expect you to thank me, so I took the word for it. [M]

"Mr. Elsie... you know, with Mr. Blurry Vain..."

"Bloody vain!?

"Oh, excuse me. It's about that black guy. Count Black, was it?"

I shouldn't, I accidentally gave it the proper nickname at my usual rate. Because he was dressed like a bluff, and he was vain and noisy.

"... aha"

Though I thought I could be frightened, Mr. Elsie's reaction was not what I expected.

She was surprised by my assessment, but laughed.

"I can't believe you called me that, dealing with that Count."

"Uh, excuse me. Because it is of a sexual nature..."

"... Fine. Just a little bit, because I feel calm. Hehe, you're good at relieving tension, Argent."

That said, Mr. Elsie smiles softly.

That was a gentle grin I had never shown before.

Even though I was surprised that I could look like this, I decided to keep talking.

"Mr. Elsie, there's something going on with that guy?

"... Yep, I showed some embarrassment. It's exactly what you think. I was robbed of something important by that man."

Mr. Elsie, who speaks so, was a calm voice, yet lived with burning emotions in his eyes.

That's a different kind of obsession for me. I feel such a strong hatred that I'm about to be burned, even though I know it's not something that I'm throwing at you.

"The world is full of irrationality. That's why I'm on the take side, not the take away side. But... wherever you go, irrationality appears."

"It's..."

The word irrational sounded heavy to me as well.

With reincarnation, I thought I had nothing more to do with Jiuyin's house.

Yet even the other world before I was reincarnated, I became involved with the house of Jiuyin. It wasn't someone who denied the house, either, like Aoyagi, but met a person who was completely stained with the way the house was called Jiuyin.

It's like they're poking me that I can't get away from the past, and I'm terribly stuck breathing.

She goes on to say words in the heavy air that makes her even feel loud about the sound of her breathing.

"What are you going to do?

"I... go to the Empire"

"Oh, what a surprise. I thought you weren't gonna save the world."

"No, I don't either."

Denial could clearly be spun with feelings from the bottom of my heart.

I have no intention of saving the world. Such a thing would be something more noble people would do.

I'm just trying to live for what I want, just for what I want.

So going to the Empire is also a simple reason. I don't care about the world, there's only one thing I think.

"I need to know something. I feel like I have to ask why, and I have to ask the answer."

The crest of the nine-noise I saw in the dark elves that day.

Ever since I saw that, I've never forgotten about that family crest.

Even if I was reincarnated, I'd like to ask that man with the family crest.

Reincarnation doesn't change your soul. That's why I can't change my way of life. Still.

What is the meaning of living as a nine-tone in this world?

"... I want to know"

And if that's the right way to live.

I may still be worthless after rebirth.

"... yes. You don't want to admit being unreasonable either."

"I'm not sure if it's unreasonable or unreasonable. I don't know anything more than I can judge it."

"... you're really, like, just born"

Again Mr. Elsie smiled softly and looked at me.

No obsession, no hatred, no merciful eyes. It was only for a moment that I thought I was going to be sucked in, and she quickly went back to laughing as usual.

"Me too, I'm going to the Empire. Now it's time to break my irrationality."

"Uh... with you?

"No way. If I get all those gestures crushed, I need to be ready, and I'm not fit to travel with people without sunlight. Your friends won't forgive you in the first place, will they?

"... well, I definitely don't think Kuzha and the others will like it"

"Isn't it? Besides... I didn't give up on you?

"Ah..."

Knock, they lift my jaw, and I can't move.

I thought I was going to get blood sucked again, and I tried to shout out for help, but it was something different that came down.

"Chiu."

"Nyu!?

Shallow, just a flash of mouthfeel.

I rounded my eyes to a touch that would only leave me feeling.

"Oh, huh?

"Dull...... I just saw that face and I'll keep it good today"

"Ahhh."

As much as I can tell myself, I can tell my body temperature is rising.

Suddenly, she said she wanted to be my daughter-in-law. I mean, a kiss right now, not something dear, but, you know, in the sense of love or something.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you by the time you get to the Empire. It's going to be a fight for each other's purposes anyway... and I'll do enough to help you create confusion. Is this a constraint?

"Ah, ah, yes. Thank you, sir?

"Hehe, you're welcome. So... I'll be in the shadows and I'll be out at night. They won't care if you show up."

Just say what you want, Mr. Elsie disappears himself.

I know we've figured this out a little bit, but it's still the same not to ask for this opinion. A golden vampire who is exhausted, selfish and, in a way, straighter than anyone else.

Still, she gave me the word "promise."

"... thank you"

In the room where no one was, I spinned my thanks again.

Even if it was silence coming back, I'm sure she's listening.

Now, I'm sure, that's fine. Even if we can't understand each other at all, if we know it's the same place to go.
