The shepherd doesn’t know the heart of the sheep
Suddenly the street is dark. The visibility was not good even earlier, but the fog that suddenly appeared was thick enough to make it impossible to see 10m in front. However, people on the market street continued their daily lives as if the fog was familiar. They believe that the fog is not their enemy and that those who hide in it will not harm them.
Something appeared in the gap of that peaceful daily life. Baldamir, the red-blooded ball who brought the fog, bowed his head and approached.
“Sir, Progenitor. Excuse me.”
“What is it, Valdamir?”
‘I told you not to disturb me because I’m going out with Hugh.’
Tir replied slightly displeased. But even that for a moment. Valdamir held out his pocket full of coins and a red stick.
“Some things have changed while you were sleeping. The details will be explained later, so please use these instead of gold coins.”
“What is this?”
“This is a recently introduced currency, a savings account. I owed the alchemy of the nations with my blood.”
Even though the coins were in the pocket, Tyr was able to recognize the number and type of coins with Blood Sculpting. He also intuitively realized how valuable it was. It was a coin only for vampires, that only vampires could make. To a vampire with bleeding techniques, the blood mixed with the coin will feel like it’s my own body.
Sheesh. You can’t even pickpocket against a vampire here. While I was kicking my tongue at the advancement of technology, Valdamir held out another object.
“This is a P-ink pen given only to Ein and above. If you ever get thirsty or need something, write this. Whatever is written in this ink, be it a human or a vampire, I will do my best to fulfill it.”
Valdamir woke up from a long sleep and seemed accustomed to the unsophisticated Tyr. It was too useful an aid for Tyr to be displeased. Tyr replied while accepting the coin and pen.
“Good job.”
“It is the right thing to do. Then, I hope you enjoy your long outing.”
Valdamir, who left a brief greeting, melted into the darkness and disappeared in an instant. Tyr looked disapprovingly in the direction where Valdamir had disappeared.
‘The dominance of blood has weakened, so I didn’t notice Valdamir’s approach. Recovering your heart is a bit inconvenient at times like this. Now that I’ve told you, Valdamir wouldn’t be watching me….’
Before retrieving her heart, Tyr covered the entire bottomless pit, but now she can only feel the blood near her body. Tyr knew now that the money they spend was mixed with blood.
She gained control over her body, but lost control outside of his body. How to gain one and lose one. Like any normal human being, Tyr felt a moment’s regret for his lost control.
But that’s not what’s important now. I took Tyr’s hand. Tyr flinched at the sudden contact. I feel the blood moving through my touching hands. Me too, Tyr.
Tyr felt the blood flow more clearly. It’s more precious because it’s narrow.

“You must have thick pockets, are you going? You have to be extravagant with other people’s money.”
Tir asked.
“… Are you saying I’m a stranger?”
“Everything in the world is me or someone else. It doesn’t matter who you are.”
“What kind of guy?”
Something is lost, but something is gained. The most precious thing to Tyr.
Emotions. He made his wishes come true, albeit slightly, for Tyr, who wanted a shake that even he could not control.
“The man with whom you share your heart.”
“… Not so.”
“Then, shall we go? It teaches the host a lesson that money should not separate people.”
“I don’t know if I should call that a lesson.”
A street where the fog has subsided before you know it. I headed back to the restaurant holding Tyr’s hand.
The fog has cleared and the owner has started soliciting customers again. I threw away my servile attitude from earlier and held my head stiffly. The owner recognized me and made a stern expression.
“That’s it? Well, I changed money… Huh! This! Savings money… !”
Like a material human being. Seeing the money changed my attitude. I responded coldly to him, whose body became heavy.
“All right, food.”
“Oops, that’s right! How many servings would you like!”
“Serves two.”
“Ugh, wait. Then, the change….”
“Attach the rest to your heart. Never again ignore a man who looks like he has no money.”
The owner was overwhelmed by the sight of me throwing savings and gold coins with a completely different look, and he sat down. I took my plate and turned around with a confident but not arrogant look. Leaving one savings coin.
I seem to hear the sound of an eagle flying somewhere. I went back to Tyr and held out the plate.
“Come on. Have a Tyr too.”
“You will carry both. I don’t need to eat.”
“No, please listen. I will eat both.”
As I handed it over, Tyr accepted it with a sullen face. I hurriedly ate the food from the plate with my free hand. The sauce soaked into the piping hot meat spreads all over your mouth. The desire to enjoy this taste more and the desire to swallow it right away and make it a part of my body collide. I wanted to swallow it all at once, but considering my physical condition, I chewed it as hard as I could.
Human beings were originally carnivores, and as if claiming that fact, a huge sense of satisfaction comes. It seems that the holes in the body are being filled with the same meat. In the meantime, even the salty sauce gave me a sense of satisfaction. The feeling of filling my body with the blood and flesh of another life. This in itself was an incomparable pleasure.
This kind of meat is piled up enough to feed everyone. Principality, maybe it’s a good country?
Tyr grumbled dissatisfiedly when I didn’t say anything and ate too much.
“Keep your dignity. Who eats so ravenously while walking down the market street?”
“All normal people eat like this, what? If it’s stealth, you have to follow the ordinary.”
“Are you copying dirty people? Without such dignity, where can I go and boast that I am an honored guest? Originally, if you are receiving valuable treatment, the attitude that suits you is….”
The words about what they are so dissatisfied with are getting longer and longer. After emptying one plate, I was about to throw it away, but I thought I was doing something wrong, so I made a card and stuffed it into my pocket. Tyr, who was worse off, scolded me again.
“Do you put dirty food in your pocket? Won’t your pants be dirty with grease when you go back?”
“I handled it pretty well. There is nowhere to throw it away.”
“I’d rather throw it on the side of the road. Someone’s going to mess with it.”
Tir grumbled and handed me one of the remaining plates. But did she say that there is a difference between when she puts it in her mouth and after she puts it in? After emptying a plate, I was about to eat another one, but suddenly my hands went out of hand. Putting food on an empty stomach makes me feel a little sick.
Moan, what can I do? Why not just throw it away? If I had Aji, I would take care of it for a while…. Oh, sorry?
“I notice that you are going to eat alone. Would you like some Tyr?”
“… Are you leaving it to me because you can’t eat anymore?”
“Ah, no way. Originally, moderately delicious food is eaten alone, but truly delicious food makes one want to share it. I want to share this joy with Tyr.”
“It’s a pleasure and sleeps, but I can’t taste it.”
‘One, a family member is someone who shares a meal. Even though I have a body like this, should I even pretend?’
It is said that vampires cannot eat food, but that is not true. Since vampires have teeth and throats, chewing food and passing it down the throat can be done mechanically. It’s just that the food is not compatible with the body and only contaminates the blood, so I just don’t try to put it in my mouth as much as possible.
There’s nothing you can’t do if you force yourself to eat. Tyr said.
“It is said that the taste of alcohol also changes depending on who drinks it. Let’s see if the one you give is different.”
“Wait a minute. It’s a little hard to give with bare hands, so I’ll pick it up with a card.”
“Okay, give it by hand.”
Tyr added hastily as I took out the card and looked at it.
“You don’t need insurance, do you? If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll bite your fingers to get your blood instead.”
“I heard my blood doesn’t taste good?”
“Even if it doesn’t taste good, it will be better than this.”
I don’t want to lose any more blood than this. I can’t help it. Shall I make it delicious?
Tyr opened her mouth slightly. In the meantime, it’s funny that he only showed a slight gap to protect her dignity. As ordered, I carefully rolled up a piece of meat and put it into Tyr’s mouth.
I can’t feel the taste. All Tyr felt was the dull touch of his tongue. Just, a sense that can be felt because there is something there. That was the only sense Tyr was allowed….
Not yet.
“Now, be delicious. Be delicious.”
“?!”
A thin thread of lightning runs through my fingers. The magnitude of the force is embarrassing to explain. The only thing to boast about is that it is minute and sophisticated, and the weak power is only enough to tickle Tyr’s body.
So I tickled him. Forcibly using the power of a demon god on a body that has lost all senses.
“Ah… !”
‘It tickles…. Do you tickle me? I?’
This is it. Well, there was a possibility from the time I made my heart beat.
The only difference is that now that I have come into contact with the Demon God, I have gone beyond simply making them run.
Threads of lightning forcefully flow through dead nerves. Smaller than the tiniest insect, the current is too weak to harm the body. Instead, it spreads like a spider’s web and heads to a single point. A sense that has not been felt until now, ‘taste’ is directly hammered into the brain.
Tir felt the taste. Some of the senses lost hundreds of years ago.
“How does it taste? Maybe you can feel it now.”
“Whew, whew… !”
Tir felt a tickle and twisted his body. Among her senses that have been used up and discarded, her most extravagant ones are returning to haunt her. It wasn’t real, but the fleeting flash I let on, the human side, put Tyr to her test.
I can feel the taste. It’s not whether or not the body accepts it when you drink blood, it’s the taste that the tongue genuinely covets. Tyr felt uneasy at the sensation of her shaking her body, but she couldn’t easily get away from her body. Her senses, which she had regained after a while, were a bit embarrassing and faint, just like her memories of her childhood, and she didn’t want to lose them again.
Feeling the taste, Tyr instinctively tried to chew what was in her mouth. However, I had no intention of drawing more blood, so she quickly withdrew her finger. The thread of her thunderbolt that stimulated Tyr’s senses slips away. The taste that lingers on the tongue also loses its color.
Tyr hurriedly shut her mouth. She looks up at me in disbelief, and Tyr looks puzzled as if she had her lips stolen.
“Whew…. This… ?”
“It’s the power of a demon I got from Claudia. I didn’t know that it would be so effective.”
“You, what the hell….”
Confused, Tyr belatedly looked around her. Her passers-by stopped her and were staring at me and her Tyr. Some were simply curious, but a few with good eyesight glanced this way with dubious doubt.
Vampires are good or bad, but they create a unique atmosphere. In addition, the number was small, so it was easy to specify. Even more so, it was the only vampire that was as beautiful and distinctive as Tyr, so it was inevitable to draw attention.
“Let’s leave for now.”
“Yes? I haven’t eaten yet.”
“I’m going to go eat, hurry up!”
I had no reason to run away, but Tyr unilaterally led me under the cover of darkness.
