Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 332 Vampire
That's how Pilte shows his upper jaw canine teeth.
It's a bit sharper and longer than normal human stuff.It's not long enough to be in a movie or a cartoon, but a little longer.
"Is there such a race in this world...?"
Didn't Nil know?
"Did your husband know?"
"Remember when I told you I met a SS ranked monster?"
I'm talking about games.Nil nods with understanding.
"Yes."
"It's about vampires."
"Was it?!"
"We vampires are not monsters."
"The vampires I met said the same thing.
It's just the same person with a special constitution that dies if you don't drink the blood of other races. "
There was a vampire in the SS ranked monster I met at the game.I recognize it as a monster because the notation on the display made it a monster, but in the conversation, I often remember saying that I was not a monster.
If you listen to them, you'll be a vampire... that doesn't matter now.
Vampires are very similar in appearance to the human race, and there is no difference except for the fangs.However, not all vampires are characteristic, and all vampires appear to have red eyes on their black hair, regardless of gender.Of course, not all people with black hair and red eyes are vampires.
And they, they all seem to be members of the demonic tribe.
It is a very small species, but its physical abilities and magic are high, and its strength on its own is top-class.It is also a species that can use special magic.
If you hit the light like a movie, you die!Nothing happens, but because the five senses are sharp and the vision is good, it seems that the sun's light is very dazzling.On the contrary, at night it looks so good that you can look around even in the dark.
Vampires are species that have to consume the blood of other races moderately or suffer from five senses that are too sensitive instead of being able to use high physical abilities, magic, and special magic.
I heard that the amount of blood to be taken from other species is not necessary and can be tolerated for about a week with a bite.If you spend more time, the blood-sucking impulse swells up and you can't control yourself.Still, it seems that if you don't take it, you will eventually die.
When I hear this, I feel that it is incompatible with people, and I feel that it is not strange even if I am certified as a monster.
When it comes to vampires, I think the image of immortality is strong, but there is no such thing, and it seems that if they are fatally injured, they will normally die.However, life expectancy is quite long, and if we can regularly take blood from other species, we can live for quite a long time.
And even though it was a very small species, it was hardly recognized globally, and it was just a coincidence that I met.
Did the vampires I met tell me... that's what I read in the text.
Incidentally, in the original world, there was a lot of talk of garlic and silver as natural enemies, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with vampires in this world.However, the smell is sharp and he hates strong smells.
"We vampires are not monsters, we are demons!"
"That's not something to discuss right now, and it doesn't matter to me either.
What I'm asking is, why are vampires here and why are they attacking people? That's what I mean.
You attacked someone with a bloodsucking impulse?If that's the case, nothing will change with monsters. "
"No!"
Pilte grabbed his hand tightly.
But I don't feel sorry for you, and I don't regret saying anything bad.
………………
"If you don't say anything, we'll just catch her and her."
Vampires I met during the game as SS ranked monsters.However, not all vampires are SS ranked.
I heard that vampires have ranks in them.I don't know the details, but if you show up in a world like this, you won't be such a powerful vampire.
"... you seem to know a lot about vampires..."
By saying that I would catch him, Pilte and his mother implicitly indicated that they belonged to the weakest of the vampires, so they could understand the current situation.
"Once upon a time, I had the privilege of listening to you.I don't know the details, but is there a rank among vampires? "
"... if you listen to me, I'll tell you everything."
The calming Pilte relieves the force in his hand.
"I dare to ask."
"... thank you.
Now, let's talk about a species called vampires. "
You just want to assert that you are people, or you want to emphasize the word race.
Because it really doesn't matter, I listen lightly.
"Now that I've spoken to you, I'd like to begin by explaining to you how we become vampires... do you know how to become vampires?"
"No, I don't know."
"Well, I'll explain from there first."
And to summarize what Pilte said...
There are two ways to be a vampire.
The first is, I don't know if I can be a vampire, but if my mother is a vampire.
Because vampires are usually pregnant and give birth, it seems that if the pregnant mother is a vampire, the child born will become a vampire.If the father is not a vampire, the blood of the vampire will diminish and he will often become weak as a vampire.
The second way is to vampire the blood of a special magic vampire by taking it into your body.
Rather than being vampired just by being bitten, we have to go through a cumbersome procedure, and it seems that if the person who took the blood fails to adapt to the vampire's blood, he will die on the spot.It's a rejection.
Moreover, even if you vampire without having a rejection reaction, it seems that the amount of vampire blood you can take differs from the amount of force you get, and there are cases where it is almost the same as the original state.
The latter method is highly risky, so it is rarely done, and it seems that most vampires were born in the former way.
Next up is the vampire class.
It seems that vampires are divided into four classes.
First of all, the highest ranking true ancestor.Physically, magically, most powerful, and terribly long-lived of vampires.It seems to have existed on earth for so long that no one knows how long it's been alive.However, Pilte herself has never seen it, and she doesn't know who it is.
The class of vampires depends on how intensely they inherit the blood of their true ancestors.
The genuine ancestor, followed by the higher class, is the pureblooded species.
Those who inherit the blood of their true ancestors are strong among vampires.Those closer to the true ancestors of this pureblooded species have enough power to be treated as SS ranked monsters.
Then there is the seed of thin blood.
Many people have lost a lot of power as vampires, and many have less power than S-rank monsters.
Pilte and his mother seem to be this thin-blooded species.
And at the bottom is the hybrid species.
It seems that when they arrive here, there is almost no blood of the true ancestors, and even if they trace it back to the original, it will not lead to the true ancestors.
Naturally, there is little power as a vampire.
Some of them have blood of other races that doesn't even stretch their teeth.Instead of having little power, these people seem to have no urge to suck blood and cannot be called vampires.
Incidentally, although information may not be needed, it seems that the appearance of those with thick blood of the true ancestors, pure blood, and true ancestors among the thin blood species becomes bright as the blood becomes thicker.
"You said Pilte wasn't your real mother."
"I used a special magic... mouth that took in blood and became a vampire.Luckily, I was able to take enough blood to spend as a thin-blooded species, so I named it thin-blooded.
This face is also the result of taking blood and is very different from the original face. "
Pilte said while touching her face.Apparently, if you take up the blood and adapt, you'll even change your appearance.
"In other words, among the thin-blooded species, Pilte and his parents fall into the thick category of true ancestral blood."
"That's what it is."
From what I heard, Pilte and her mother were considered to be either strong or S rank monsters, or higher in A rank.
There seems to be no strength that cannot be suppressed.
"And one more thing is very important.
That's this magic rose. "
Pilte lifts a bouquet of roses in her hand.
"Roses are important?"
"Yes, actually, this magic rose has the power to suppress the vampire's urge to vampire."
………………
Whether it's a lie or a truth… must be determined carefully.
"Did you know that Magic Rose contains magic?"
"Oh, but isn't that true?"
"No, Magic Rose certainly has the ability to accumulate magic."
You're out of line, aren't you?
"Yes, definitely."
"On what grounds?"
"... why do we vampires drink blood?The reason is to bring the magic of other species into the body.
Because the magic of vampires is so special, it acts as a poison for people other than the true ancestors, and the body dies in vain.
However, the magic possessed by other races.If you take the blended blood into your body, the toxin will fade and your body will have it. "
"You mean you can absorb it just by taking in the blood?"
"Except for vampires.Without a special organ that captures magic, which only exists in vampires, there is no point. "
"In other words, magic rose also has the ability to accumulate magic, so it can have the same effect as drinking the blood of other races."
"Yes, just because it takes less magic than human blood, it doesn't suppress your bloodsucking urge for a week.So it should be consumed almost daily.
It's impossible to buy that many magic roses, so we vampires grow them with our own hands. "
"I take it every day... and it smells like roses from my body.And to deceive it, I brought the magic rose. "
"... yes."
"I understood that.But what is the main reason why my mother attacked people? "
"... to put it simply, to find the person my mother and I are looking for..."
"Attack people to find them?
Anyway, Leah and Sanamari aren't the kind of people who kidnap people, and if they ask, they'll answer? "
"No, we're not looking for a simple person."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm looking for someone who doesn't know where they are."
"I don't know where he is, so you're looking for him."
"No, I really don't know anything.Could you tell me that you don't even know where you are in this world? "
"Does that mean you can't narrow it down?"
"... yes."
That's how you get out of the demonic world?
It's too unnatural.I wonder if I can be trusted.
"I know it sounds suspicious. But it's true.
We vampires have the power to read the past of blood. "
"The past of blood?"
You said something you didn't understand...
"You can get a glimpse of the person's ancestors and what they are involved in."
"How does that lead to this story?"
"The person my mother and I are looking for is not easy to find, and even if we look for it normally, we will never find it.So I decided to narrow down the probable areas and look for them by sharing the memory of blood. "
"This area is Pilte and Mother."
"Yes, but I still can't find it, and somehow I managed to get some information, so I searched for someone related to the Demons and showed them the memory of blood."
"Did you show me? I would have forced you to see the mistake."
"... yes, I admit it wasn't a humane way.But the only way we could stay in this city was to erase our memories.I don't think anyone would accept a neighbor looking for blood...
And when you actually take blood, you need to bite it.It's a scary feeling to carve into my memory... "
"That would be the guilty party's own argument."
I feel a little irritated about seeing memories or not wanting to leave scary memories, or about Pilte arranging excuses, and I get stronger.
"... you're right... I erased my memory back then, but I couldn't erase the strong fact that something happened, and that's why."
"No!!"
Nil shouted unintentionally.
"I'm not talking about erasing memories or not erasing them!It's a mistake to force yourself to do that!! "
………………
"Nil had a long slave life.I've seen such irrationality rot.I'm doing the same thing.Pilte and his mother. "
"Eh...."
Pilte can't say anything back and just bites her lips.Long dog teeth are eating into my lips.
"Have you done anything but take the blood and erase the memory of the time?"
"Yes, believe me!I really didn't do anything else!Those who lost their memories immediately called people to avoid getting in danger, and in the meantime my mother was watching! "
Was it just aftercare, or were the victims acting with due consideration?
Pilte desperately complains that they just want to hurt themselves.Wrong person to sue.You should sincerely apologize to the victims, not me or Nil.
"I understand the circumstances, but it is up to the victims not to forgive.Nil and I have to catch them. "
"That's not true..."
"You'll have to take responsibility for what you did."
But as it stands, the magical world is here!
The Magic Realm?
"No... well..."
Looks like he's still hiding something.
"Why are you looking for him?"
"I can't tell you that..."
"Then we'll just stick it out in the guild."
"Please don't do that!"
"Then tell me everything. Neither Nil nor I believe it."
"Bye! Meet my mother!"
"I'll see your mother later."
"I can't do this story alone!"
"Do you think you need permission from your mother?"
"That's right!
For vampires, the relationship between class and parent-child is so strict that you can't disobey it! "
……………
Pilte's face looks serious, but... there's a possibility of a trap... No, if we're going to set a trap, we'd better hold it here.
I'm sure you'll think that if we can set our consciousness apart and put it in a trap, it'll be easier...At least I would.
Thinking so, I feel that the possibility of a trap is low, but it is also not zero, knowing about Nil and me, and taking them to a place where they dare to kill with certainty.
Should I go or not... no, it's probably not hard to catch me here.They said they erased their memories, and they could erase our memories.However, there is no sign of such an attempt so far, and if we use vampire-specific magic to erase our memories, it won't be easy for Nil and me to hang on.
The reason is that special magic possessed by vampires, besides drawing a magical formation, has several conditions and does not activate unless it meets them.
That's what I heard from the vampires I met, and it's been confirmed.
What conditions are depends on the magic you use, but you just have to catch them before they meet them.
In other words, I don't have to take the risk of seeing Pilte's mother, but I think it would be better to listen to all the stories slowly after I catch her... but if I catch Pilte, my mother might run away more quickly.
As Pilte said, the vampire hierarchy is still the difference in power, and the lower ones cannot defy the upper ones.Especially in the case of Pilte, he was not born, but later incorporated vampire blood.It is not strange that there are special constraints.
………………
"Master."
Nil calls me when I'm worried.When I looked at her, she opened her mouth as if she were afraid...
"Why don't you go?"
Nil is quite a rare answer.
Nil desperately hates me being put in danger.Sometimes there is nothing you can do, and there is an unavoidable danger, but if you choose from yourself and jump into danger, you basically disagree.
But this time, I've guessed better. Pretty unusual.
"It's not my guess, but it doesn't look like you're lying."
Nil says it's a hunch, but when I look into his eyes, he's probably close to convinced.If Nil says so...
"Okay, let's just go."
"Ah, thank you!"
"If you make a bad impression, I'll catch you immediately and stick you in the guild."
Yes!
Pilte answers happily when she says she's going to protrude into the guild.Is that a manifestation of intent that I'm not going to do that...?
Would you like to accompany me?
Got it.
Pilte leaves the small room and reaches behind with his hands on the weapon.
What I have now is not a sword that I always use, but a straight sword for camouflage, but it is quite a thing, and if I need it, I can only fight it.We should be able to catch him without a problem.
As we follow Pilte's trends...
"This way."
