7. Jealousy is my strength (19)
The fragrant scent tickled the tip of his nose.
Every time he shook his body, he felt a soft touch. I was pretending to pass out on purpose.
It was placed on none other than Seria’s shoulder.
Since my body was folded in half, when Seria took a step, my body had no choice but to shake once. Every time that happened, Seria’s soft and bouncy chest bumped into my upper body.
Because of the saintess, she remembered a fact she had forgotten.
Sarah, you have a nice body.
It was a bit embarrassing, but I couldn’t contain my complaints. It was fortunate that it was the upper body, but if the lower body had been positioned in front of Seria, a catastrophe would have happened.
In fact, even now, even calling it a ‘disaster’ was not inferior.
Seria’s expression was particularly hot as she was holding my waist with one arm to keep my body from flowing down. No matter how much he was carrying an adult man, there was no way he could withstand it.
Then there was only one answer.
Seria would also be ashamed. Hey, even without that, Seria was bad at relationships with men and women.
They would regard obsession with me and physical contact as separate issues.
If there was one thing that was fortunate, it was that Seria was admirably acting as if nothing had happened.
To think that the disorganized sociality has grown this much.
I listened to the conversation between Seria and the blind vampire, swallowing tears of emotion in my heart.
“But you didn’t kill him completely, did you? Then it doesn’t taste good~”
“Yes Yes? ah… of course!”
“By the way, I haven’t even asked a guy yet, so you’re surprisingly sloppy, aren’t you?”
Even with my eyes closed, my feeling was as clear as my vision.
It was to the point where he could even detect the fact that the corner of his friend’s eyes had crooked just now. Seria was even more taken aback by that mischievous voice.
“Ahh? uh, that’s right… … ?”
“I don’t know because I don’t have eyes, but he must be a pretty handsome guy? It smells, it smells… The smell that made women cry.”
While giggling, the vampire’s retinue wore a cold smile.
“They are very bad guys. it’s not like that? It’s not something to love, but I’ve been watching it for a while… In the end, only women become pitiful.”
“That, that… … .”
It took a while for Seria to look at me with a glance.
Before I knew it, Seria’s voice had calmed down.
“… … That’s right.”
“Kyahahahaha! You really know our sisters well!”
“Yes, sure… Why do you keep giving room to other women? I just wish I could remain as my own senior… … .”
Since ancient times, empathy has been the best lubricant for conversation.
Seria, who stuttered and couldn’t hide her awkwardness, continued talking like this without interruption.
It was something I should be happy about, but somehow I had to feel a chill go through my bones.
Seria, are you on my side?
Leaving these worries behind, Seria and the vampire continued their friendly conversation.
“that’s right! Actually, I also had a hard time because of men. Coincidentally, I ended up liking the same guy with my friend… … .”
“Really?”
Opening her eyes wide, Seria began to feel a strong interest in the story of the vampire.
I felt like breaking into a cold sweat if I could.
Yes, because I was a sinner.
“Well, thanks to you, I suffered a little. It becomes awkward with friends, and the man is indecisive and can’t make a decision right away… It was even more difficult because the three of us worked as mercenaries for a long time.”
In many ways, it was a past where there were many elements that could arouse Seria’s sympathy.
A man who is indecisive, a friend who became a rival, and a situation where he can’t break the relationship because he’s still a colleague.
Now Seria was engrossed in it, swallowing even dry saliva. A urge filled with curiosity followed.
“That, so?”
“Then one day… While carrying out a request together, I met a dangerous demon. Then these eyes… … .”
A miserable smile formed on the corner of the woman’s mouth as she tapped my unfocused eyes.
“This eye, the taste is gone. After that, I was a bit disappointed. Well, to be honest, everyday life was impossible… As a result, even the man who took good care of me at first got tired of it.”
“That, like that… … !”
“Isn’t it too much? I sacrificed myself to protect my colleague, but she gradually distanced herself from me and hung out with that bitch… It felt like the world was driving me into a bottomless pit.”
“It’s too much!”
Seria, who had completely immersed herself in the position of a vampire, raised her voice like that.
I felt my hand clenched into a fist tremble. Due to the boiling emotions, the arm supporting me was also getting stronger.
“Oh, how could that be? It’s the wounds I suffered for that person! Even taking advantage of the moment when people become weak, to have their lover stolen by some bitch… It’s too cruel.”
At Seria’s response, the vampire burst into a faint laugh. It was an attitude that made me feel at ease by sharing my wounds.
Although Seria was more excited than the author, and was eagerly waiting for the next story.
“So, so how did it go? That the man repented of his sins and came back… … .”
“ate.”
stand tall,
Seria’s expression was devastated at the answer that seemed to be nothing special. The voice that leaked out between the lips that sprouted from the moon was, at best, a stupid half-word.
“… … Yeah?”
“I ate, I. Then we can be together forever, right? Crying, sucking blood… oh, i was ecstatic Did you know that when sadness reaches its peak, it becomes pleasure?”
Even while Seria kept her mouth shut, the vampire burst into laughter.
It was an innocent laugh.
“I also ate meat. The raw meat was a bit tough, but… It was hard to catch, but I persevered. Then we can be together forever, forever… Tears came out especially when the heart was eaten? And what was that? Did I say ‘bitch’?”
I couldn’t detect any abnormality in the expression on the woman’s face as they clapped their hands together.
It was an attitude that seemed to be making a very natural sound.
“Later on, they cried and prayed… Didn’t stop though. Because I wanted to return the pain I suffered. First, I plucked out my eyes and put them in my mouth. Then he screamed and rebelled? So I put whatever I could get my hands on into the hole… Then the eardrum must have been torn. I was sticking a razor down my ear hole. Later, he couldn’t understand what I was saying.”
The height of the spitting up while scratching the head was monotonous.
So it was even more bizarre.
Even Seria kept her mouth shut and remained silent. Even with the utmost understanding, it was not something one could do sanely.
It was around that time that the woman’s steps stopped.
Suddenly, a wave of magical energy was felt, and the entire space shook, revealing a new scene. It was a technique sophisticated enough to deceive even my high-expert feelings.
It wouldn’t be a handicraft prepared for a day or two.
Soon, the sweet scent that pierced my nose grew stronger. It was such an intense smell that even I would feel dizzy for a moment.
In the middle of it, Seria just stood there in silence.
“I realized it then. In fact, most problems can be solved with the power… How grateful are you? Our ancestors bestowed this grace.”
“… … this smell.”
It was a word spoken after a long silence.
At that voice, which had subsided seriously, the blood relative of the vampire stopped talking. I felt a question in the blue eyes that glanced at Seria.
However, Seria’s spirit had already left for a long time.
“I’ve had it before. In childhood… … .”
“Hmm, childhood? Although we prepared for a long time, we wouldn’t have prepared for that long.”
The vampire’s followers tilted their heads, but paid no attention to it any further.
It was only pointing to the middle of the clearing.
It was a point that gave off a gloomy aura.
“Well, that’s okay, since we’ve arrived anyway… You can put ‘Bob’ in the middle.”
“Then what will happen?”
It was a sharp tone that came out again.
Gradually, the vampire’s face began to harden slightly, as if he also felt suspicious. In the ensuing half-question, even the annoyed expression was young.
“… … what?”
“If I put it in the middle, the senior asked what would happen.”
Hmmm, a moan echoing again.
Gradually, the vampire’s circle was showing open suspicion. Even so, Seria’s tone did not waver.
Rather, he only glared at the vampire’s family with terrifying eyes.
It didn’t take long for the laughter to burst out.
“You, it’s been a while since you became our sister, right? The scent gives off the blessings of the founder… Aha, is this the child that the founder infiltrated and made into a new blood relative?”
“Please answer me.”
Despite her rather rude tone, the woman quickly regained her composure.
I don’t know what the ‘smell’ was, but it seemed clear that it was convincing the vampire’s kin. Perhaps, it seemed to be one of the characteristics that no one other than the ‘sister’ could imitate.
Not even that.
Because Seria was a blood relative of a true vampire.
The only one who didn’t know the truth was Seria. In fact, Seria already didn’t seem relaxed enough to take care of those matters one by one.
Fortunately, Seria never reached the limit of her patience.
It was because the woman’s explanation had continued before that.
“As you will soon learn, this world consists of the harmony of the five elements. Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth… Even the organs of the human body can respond to each element. This applies not only to the material world, but also to the mind and emotions.”
“You mean that?”
“What if you deliberately break the balance of the five elements?”
With a sinister smile, the woman asked.
