"... Phew"

Finishing a street of blood sucking, I exhale.

The person I sucked on was a vampire of a woman made servant by the hands of the Empire, just like that Count. I've stocked up on a few of them, so they're useful.

"Blood Reading"

Sucking on her blood isn't just for recovery from anything.

Skills that carry memories from the target's blood, Blood Reading. My skill level gives me a glimpse into the memory of the last few days.

"Is this... a large, glass cylinder... weird liquid... tentacles...?

The image I saw was something I didn't quite understand.

I don't know how to describe it, even if I try to put it in words. Just like a large glass cylinder filled with an incredibly colored liquid.

Among them laid to line the towers were countless compatriots floating connected to something like a silver tube.

And among them, the appearance of the Count, the abominable opponent...

"-!!

Patience on the brink of nearly shooting magic in anger.

You shouldn't. This is still in the building where Argent is taking care of you.

Space for storage in the attic. In a place I could never say was spacious, I sighed with restraint.

"... thanks, bundersnatch"

I look up at this one anxiously and thank my squire for rubbing the hairs off.

... It's just this kid now.

The chimeras I built have also been killed by the Count, except for Bundersnatch.

For my part, the wounds were healed, but the magic I was accumulating was greatly shredded.

By the time Argent gets to the Imperial capital, he won't be able to replenish his full power. The only way to get in is to scratch the material remaining in some of the places that will be the Negijo and prepare as much as you can.

"... promise,"

When I rolled the words I said to Argent in my mouth again, I had myself unexpectedly snuggled in.

"I haven't had a promise in years."

The face of a loved one emerges from his memory only for a moment and passes by.

I wonder how many promises I made with her I could keep.

"... your most important promise has spilled out of your hands."

I promised to protect her, and I couldn't protect it.

Irrationally, the Count of Black, I was deprived of something important.

So I became unreasonable. In order not to be taken away, I decided to be taken away.

But there's still something in me that I can't leave.

Before any irrationality, I laughed and stood before it, the face of my dear 'friend'.

That's why I like things that have the strength to fight irrationally. If you're as beautiful as Argent, fine. I'd rather have that kid. That kid can be.

"... Phew"

I know I'm distorted while losing my friend and hating a guy for that reason and liking to have fun with a girl, but I'm not willing to stop that.

'Cause I'm already on the side of unreasonably taking away.

"Next time... next time I'll break it... now I'll take it all away from you... Count"

Having broken my promise one day, I seek not to live up to my current promise, but to stay ahead of it.

Break the once irrational, and now it's time for me to be the one to take it for real.

I'm not such a weak princess anymore.

"I'll sleep till night, Bundersnatch. Wake me up when the sun goes down."

If you stroke your proud hairy hair, a bunder snatch can sleep in front of you just telling you to put it to bed.

"... right. The floor is a little stiff here."

I rent this place with care for Argento, but I have trouble because it is dusty and cramped.

If it's me, I can suck and follow the employees of this store.

"Though... that's a hassle"

Regardless of the state of affairs, those coffee shop employees seem oddly powerful.

Honestly, although I find it unfortunate that there are so many children of choice for the purposes I have seen, I decide to be patient.

"... promise,"

Whimpering the words I hadn't used in a long time again, I decided to put Bundersnatch to bed and fall asleep.

I wonder where this feeling that keeps tickling in my mind from that day when I was deprived of my loved ones.

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