The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

"... ugh"

I sighed in the 'former' imperial capital.

In that battle, the walls of the capital became part of the final weapon and all the buildings were destroyed.

Still, the rubble is filled with a bunch of ridiculous weapons that His Holiness the Father has crafted so diligently. They might one day be dug out and used by someone.

"Oh, yeah, okay? I'm sure some of them will be gold if you sell them."

"Looking for treasure out of this pile of rubble? Chihuahua, we're bandits, not coal miners."

Must be, and Ducks laughed.

"... those guys, you're not here"

"You didn't make it to the end."

The Hound Squad was mostly caught in that fight.

But Sheba, Akita, and Spitz, they're probably not caught.

The enormous weapon brought forth by his father completely destroyed the laboratory and made it a battle.

"Oh yeah, is the wound okay?

"Don't worry, it's a scratch."

The wounds healed slowly during the battle.

It doesn't mean I was poisoned. That means I'm fading.

How much longer can I breathe? Maybe my father would know, but it doesn't matter.

Because this is how I live so that I don't have any remorse at all.

"Ooh, you stinky face. They'll do something for themselves."

"... right"

"Well, let's go."

"Are you done yet, Oyabu?"

"Life is short. I want to move when I can."

Our lives are short.

I'm sure we should decide how to use that short life.

And I didn't make it any better to be kept alive.

"What do you guys do?

"Of course."

"I'll follow you, Oyabu"

The two of you behind me chose to follow me on your own.

So this is how we live.

There is no asylum from someone, living that day that could be tomorrow, all over the mud, and still.

There's no shard of regret in this way of life.

"... I have a dream of living forever if I leave him alone like that."

"Did I say something, Oyabu?

"Nothing. Let's go, you guys."

I shake my head and drive away the presence of a crazy woman floating in my head.

There's nothing loco about getting involved with him. It doesn't seem to stick around, it reminds me of the old days, and in the meantime, even though I owe you help, I even baked you a favor.

"... we'll never see each other again."

Not exactly, I don't even want to see you.

That crazy bitch is hiding in the back of the woods by now. We live where there is no treasure, so there will be no more face to face. Let's pretend we don't know this time, even if it did.

"Well, now where, I don't know where to find the treasure"

"Are there any treasure rumors that will increase your life expectancy?"

"Ha, that guy has a dream. All right, let's go with that for now."

I don't know if there's anything like that, but it might be worth looking for.

And even if we don't find something like that, we don't care.

A life where you don't know anything about what's ahead and you can't get someone to help you.

Oh, isn't that great? At least, it's much better than someone deciding how to live.

"... let's live as we please and die as we please"

Like a wild dog, not a hound.

We walked the path we chose.
