The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

"Okay...... duh. It's like this."

It was Zeno-kun, the pedestrian, who leaked his satisfactory voice.

When he made sure the last package was loaded into the carriage, he looked back here and

"This will prepare you for your journey. Anything but meat, Mr. Alger will store it."

"Yeah, we're done here."

A vampire, the Bloodbox I have the storage skills for, I can't store anything that contains blood.

So meat and the like will really be carried by carriage.

I can hunt, and I have Aoyagi now, so I think the food situation is pretty easy, but I still can afford it. I've never done this.

I sighed as I stowed away an article that contained no blood.

"It's a convenient ability for me."

"Ha, I envy you as a merchant. It seems like a dream to have infinite access to things."

"... while we're traveling together, you can help me."

Xeno-kun was the first otherworldly person I took care of and the one I spent two trips with.

This is the third time I've traveled with him. Much has been helped by his knowledge as a pedestrian and caring.

"... that's the thing, Mr. Alger"

"? What's wrong?

"I can't keep up with the Empire."

"... Really?"

The words he said are convincing.

You will clearly go to the Empire to fight. As before, it is a relaxing journey or different from a journey to send people.

For Zeno-kun, a pedestrian, the battle is not what you want. You won't be able to stop him from going.

"Well, Xeno-kun is a merchant. It's dangerous, so I think it's better."

"Uh... uh, that's not what I'm talking about. It was the mountains that I wanted to follow, or until yesterday I was going to follow them."

"... Huh?

"The Alliance is being targeted, and the Cyril Grand Vault seems to be the target of an attack. I'm going to do what I can."

"... Really?"

Just a little, he was mistaken about him.

I thought I should say an apology for the mistake, but before this one made any words, Xeno-kun smiled lightly.

"I don't know what will happen, but I will definitely move to help Mr. Alger. Leave it to me."

"... you can't pay, can you?

"He's a credit buyer. Because money matters, I also intend to understand things that are more important than that. For me too, Mr. Alger is my friend."

"Really? Then... please"

"Yes, I was asked. I promise you, it'll help Mr. Alger."

If it was before, I didn't like being looked after by someone that way for no consideration whatsoever.

I'm sure I owe it to the words Mr Iris told me that I can honestly say the word please.

I don't know to what extent the word can be relied upon more.

But to Xeno-kun's smile that he wanted me to leave it to him, it seemed like I could at least honestly nod.

"If you're going to hook me up, I'm going to hook you up."

"Sounds like you're Zeno-kun. … Also, is it a promise"

"Yeah, it's the same as when we broke up one day"

In the port town of Arlesha, me and him met again one day and promised to return the favor.

Then we resume in the Republic, we travel together, and now, like this, we are about to break up with each other with another promise.

"Oh, Cyril, if you want to stop by the big safe, I'd like to write to Iggysta..."

"Okay. I will give it to the Lord of the Great Safe."

"Thank you, Xeno-kun"

The connecting edges have grown at some point, and I am so involved with many people that I can't compare them to when I was in Jiuyin.

With that in mind, I made a new commitment with Xeno-kun.

He'll make good on his promises. I could have thought so.
