74. Day Four, Arwen Nosferatu (2)
1.
I didn’t want to do anything.
To put it a little more accurately, I’m already doing nothing, but I don’t want to do anything more violently.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
“I just wanted to know if I was guilty of something like this in my previous life.”
“……Ha?”
Arwen snorted as if he meant something, but I was 100% sincere.
Actually, even if it’s a previous life, I remember some episodes vividly, and I’m going through this hardship now because I was reincarnated with the memories of my previous life intact.
Looking back, I did not commit any particular crimes, having lived the life of an ordinary petit bourgeois.
At best, when I was young, I stole sweets and chocolates from supermarkets and marts…… ?
Of course, when I was caught later, I was beaten right before I fell behind, so I guess I could say I paid for my crime.
“Something is strange.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t commit any crime in my previous life, so why am I suffering like this?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Arwen sat down on a chair next to my bed and her eyes twinkled.
Then, stealthily, like a cat, she crouched down on all fours, and felt Arwen’s fangs digging into her fingers vividly.
It stung. Every time she was bitten like this, she felt like she was being vaccinated, so it wasn’t very pleasant.
Haljjak.
Glancing at the drops of blood on the tips of her fingers, Arwen replied.
“A fair punishment for a wicked owner who forgot to feed the cat and flirted with another woman.”
“……You’re not a cat, you’re a vampire. They say that’s a true ancestor.”
“It’s a cat now.”
With the unmatchable reply of the variable vampire, who went back and forth between vampire and cat according to her own taste, the quiet silence in the room was broken for a while by the sound of blood splattering.
Obviously, it was itchy when you lick it with your tongue, and it was embarrassing in many ways when you looked down like this.
Since the day Arwen came to visit me, I have become accustomed to the scenery in my room as if it were a daily routine, so there was nothing that I was very reluctant about.
Rather.
“Don’t worry.”
“What?”
“At least, if you’re the one I remember, I think it was more appropriate to try something blindly than to grumble and ponder.”
“……It’s easy to say.”
Arwen, who was sucking her finger, shook her head at her advice, not her advice.
It’s really easy to say, but it’s hard to just blindly put it on and see it.
And it’s true that my current position itself is ambiguous in many ways.
This is all because this is a world where men and women are reversed.
As I was grumbling inside, Arwen, who was staring at me, tilted her head.
“You’re not particularly friendly today.”
“Huh?”
“Did something happen?”
I wonder if women’s intuition is really sharp.
In fact, if you think about it, there were many things.
Eileen and I had only one bed in the inn, so she was forced to sleep in the same bed…… Because of that, I couldn’t sleep until dawn, so I couldn’t sleep properly.
And I thought she was just a slut from the outside, but when we talked together on the boat, she was deeper than I thought.
When she saw that her room was messy, she thought that she must be a golden sun after all, and after that, she was falsely accused of acting out her talent.
Just what happened with Sylphia yesterday…….
After listing it like this, a lot of things happened in just a few days.
“What?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Is what Rashil said right…?”
After listing everything, thinking about this, I became a bad guy?
It’s as if you’ve been running the fishing grounds here and there for no reason, feeding the fish in the trap…….
Huh?
2.
“Tell me what happened. Let’s listen first and judge after that.”
“Is it private?”
“Write.”
As soon as Rasil’s name was mentioned, Arwen’s eyes sharpened.
“……Then why is Racyl being treated like a public enemy?”
“Isn’t that the golden sun?”
“…… Huh? How do you know that?”
“You told me everything in the past. It’s not for nothing that you say contemplation is science. If you think about it, isn’t it?”
“What the heck was I teaching here and there before the return?”
Arwen was knowledgeable about modern language to the extent that one could inadvertently think that way.
“Look at what that golden-sun woman does. On the outside, it seems rare to find a human who lacks that much, but when it comes to an important situation, she gets serious. It can be said that she has mastered the art of winning a man’s heart. So, naturally, you have no choice but to be vigilant, right?”
“Uh… It’s like that for now…”
“I don’t know, but no one likes that human admiral.”
Arwen said as if to affirm.
As expected, the golden sun.
Are you under such intense checks here as well?
Certainly, the image of Golden Sun that comes out of erotic comic books is too unconventional, and there are few people who have an appearance that fits that image as much as Rasil, but…….
After a short mourning for the image of Racyl, which is crashing through her inner core, the topic hastily changed.
“Anyway… Why don’t you stop babbling? Your fingers tickle?”
“Muh… Is there anything mean to eat? I’m still not full.”
“Don’t take other people’s blood and treat it as something to eat. Did you spread honey on your fingers?”
I don’t know, but if I tell Arwen what happened in the past few days, it’s not difficult to predict that a storm will break out.
It was wise to change the topic of conversation quickly.
Apart from that, I feel dizzy because of anemia because I keep bleeding.
“You think I starved for several days? You’re not qualified to keep a cat.”
“So you’re a vampire pretending to be a cat. That’s true. The king of all vampires said he was true. Have a little more pride.”
“If you have something like that, will you feed them blood?”
Arwen snorted.
I…… It’s completely different from the image of Jinjo I imagined. What was in front of him now was something that resembled a pet that had faded in name and was satisfied with being treated as a pet, and that had faced the reality of the world.
“Ehh, I’d rather die than get sick.”
“Don’t die. When you die, I will somehow bring you back to life, even if I dabble in black magic.”
“Don’t arbitrarily use people as material for necromancy. I don’t want to live an ugly life with only bones left.”
Just in case, just in case.
If I die because even the last method mentioned by Arwen or Silfia is useless.
How would it feel to be resurrected as a skeleton with only bones remaining after dying like that?
I don’t know, but it must be a very strange feeling. Besides, Arwen’s eyes, looking at my scarred finger with a sad look on his face, were too serious to assert that such a thing would happen.
“Once is enough. Such a painful experience.”

Muttering in a strangely forlorn tone, Arwen was enveloped in light, and soon changed into a cat with silver fur.
Then he climbed up on my lap as if I had given him a seat and sat down, pretending to be cheerful.
“Anyway, the time left today is still long. So let’s just spend it as usual, as if nothing had happened. Isn’t that your favorite thing? To just kill time without doing anything like this.”
“If you say that, then I’m like an old man loafing around in the corner of my room. Normally, I would have gone to the lab and worked hard every day.”
“Wasn’t it?”
“……Arwen.”
It hurt a little bit. Of course, people get sick when the facts are heavily inserted into the pit of the stomach.
However, looking back on my life recently, I was living a life that was no different from a lazy person sitting in a corner of the house playing and eating without thinking about getting a job.
I couldn’t find the right words to refute, so I just put my voice down with a kind voice.
As if my reaction was satisfactory, Arwen purred.
“Then I can correct it by saying that I’m spending the day as if you were on a holiday, not as usual. After all, on a holiday, don’t you go to that human wizard’s lab and just kill time?”
“That’s true, but…”
I don’t know yet.
Still, in a few days, going on a date in the capital, riding a magic circle, and going down to the southernmost tip of the empire in the far south.
It is also true that it was a tight schedule for me, a natural housekeeper, as I went here and there to Sylphia’s rares that I didn’t even know where they were.
I’m obviously grateful, but I decided to just accept Arwen’s unconsidered consideration for now, which is strangely pissed off.
As Arwen said, the day is still long.
It’s going to be noisy outside by now as the emperor’s birthday party is still going on, but it doesn’t matter since no one will know I’m here anyway.
Talk.
As her troubles grew longer, Arwen tapped her paws and placed them on top of my head.
Amethyst-like purple eyes stared at me, no different from when I was in human form even when I turned into a cat.
“Didn’t I tell you earlier?”
“…….”
“Don’t worry so much. It doesn’t suit you to look so serious.”
A calm voice.
“Get rid of your complicated thoughts for a while, and rest comfortably for now. You don’t have to worry about it right now.”
“Arwen…”
“Let’s take a nap first.”

Meow.
Arwen let out a short, polite, awkward cry, and as if she had finished what she had to say, she closed her eyes in a loaf of bread pose.
…… It’s all good, but I don’t know if you have to sleep on me.
