The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

"Mmmm..."

"Ah, Aoyagi. I knew you were listening."

I spoke to Aoyagi, who came in without a knock, in the room where the silence came.

Aoyagi-san looked at me with a peeled face.

"Did that woman leave?

"I don't think he's home, but I don't think he's coming out"

It's not strange if you were still looking at me somewhere because I'm talking about Mr. Elsie, but he disappeared for now.

You know you're smoked, and they're gonna cooperate for once, so I'm not trying to have a useless fight. I shouldn't. Probably, I'm sure, probably. I hope not, because it stinks.

"Totally... what the hell is that guy?"

"I got my eyes on you a while ago, and there's been a lot since. But now, it looks like we've got another purpose."

"… now, is it? Well, that's good."

Aoyagi sighed and approached us.

My cheeks are where my hands are stretched out. The feeling of being caressed is gentle, and I can see very well that she was worried about me.

"For the sake of others, I hope you don't force me"

"I'm not trying to force you..."

"It's a lie. That's how the silver man pushes himself right into it, and he can't do it."

"Aoyagi, now..."

"If it was that fox child, I would have asked him to go to Mr. Satsuki. You woke up, so tell me you want me to come. … now, let me call you Mr. Silver."

When I saw Aoyagi's face with a crying face, I was no longer willing to deny it.

I nodded honestly, Aoyagi held this one.

Instead of jumping at me like Kuzha, I try to pull my body by hand, and Aoyagi keeps her temperature.

"... Now I can protect you"

"... Huh?

"In the house of Jiuyin, I couldn't stop you from being trapped. I couldn't save him. But now... I can protect you."

"Ah..."

The words I received were trembling, and the temperature was cold, but the shinobi that touched me was warm.

... Aoyagi, too, was it?

I guess Aoyagi regretted me, too, just as Kuzha regretted her mother.

Even if that was the intention of the house and something I couldn't stop, it would have been hard for Aoyagi.

'Cause she was hard enough to lose me and cut her own life off.

At that time, Aoyagi and Kuzha, who followed me out when I protected Mr. Elsi, both had regrets. I guess that's why he moved right after oh.

"Damn it, promise me... this time, I'll never be gone..."

"… Promise, is it"

Already once, Aoyagi tried to make a promise to me that she would see the flowers differently.

Will we be able to protect it this time? I don't have any confidence, but I don't want to die twice either.

"... ok. That's a promise."

I don't know if I can protect you, but I wanted to respond to the tears that flow.

I don't even know my heart. Even I know what tears mean. It's a spill because it's full of emotions.

The pinky fingers involved are stubborn, but only understandable for the plumpness of feelings.

"Absolutely... it's a promise, isn't it?

"... yes, it's a promise"

"When it's all over, let's just relax in my woods. Right?"

"... that's exciting"

As if I were a girl, I just nodded at Aoyagi, who scratched without wiping her tears.

Can this time not make this man cry?

Not yet, I don't know the answer to that.
