Chapter 26: I will go have a talk even I’m sleepy.
“……Hmm”
I seemed to have fallen asleep.
I woke up from sleep because I felt the smell of blood.
There are various bad smells. Obviously there is a smell of beasts and smells of blood, and there is also a sweet smell make my fangs tickle.
Various animals, humans perhaps, the blood of demons as well.
“…This smell, it is “old blood” right ?”
The smell of the drifting blood was not fresh but it’s just recent.
After being scattered, it was left alone, after a while it became old as it is. It smells like that.
Of course, it never smells like blood from long time ago … It was confident that my vampire instinct have with “old blood”. There is no evidence, but I feel it was like that.
“Wake up, Argento” (TN: Neguseo don’t use –san or Arge but Argento)
“Oh, Neguseo-san”
“…”
“ What happened, Neguseo-san, you have a strange face, did you have any problems? neguseo-san? Hey, Neguseo-san. Ne ̄ gu ̄ se ̄ o ̄-san ”
“Yes, it’s okay, no problem.”
It was fun to play with Neguseo-san’s complicated face every time I called his name, but I stopped because from the smell of his blood, he was anxious.
I raise my body from the bed of grass and use my hand to sweep the dust and leaves on my clothes.
From the inclination of the day, right now may be the evening.
If I concentrate on smell, I can immediately pin point the direction in which the smell drifted.
“… The smell of people, is not it?”
It is not only the smell of “old blood”. I also smell some people mixing in.
Humans and “old blood”. And the story of Oswald. When combine all of them together, there is one thing that I can think of.
“…Mi tsuri ~yo…” (TN: sorry I can’t get what it mean, someone is talking far away and our MC can hear it)
Before I can hear words to the end, a siren-like roaring through the forest.
I was surprised and close my ears, but that is probably the voice of Oswald-kun.
“The guardian of the forest is fighting”
“… No, that is wrong.”
“Mu … What does that mean?”
The scent that stimulates the nose is getting darker and steadier.
It is a fragrance of new blood. That fills the smell of old blood.
The important thing is that blood scent is from a demon. Or more accuaracy, it is a Bull’s smell.
“He seems to be pushed back”
If Oswald-kun is dominating, the new blood will have a sweet smell, the smell of human blood.
It is not my favorite smell but it smells arouse my vampire instict the most.
Right now, I can only smell people’s smell but I can smell monters and their blood smell. That’s mean only the monsters get hurt.
“Neguseo-san, I will go ahead a little, so please follow me slowly.”
“What are you going to do?”
Floating in my mind is Odd Eye and big breast girl Felnote-san.
She is a serious person. She may be mad at me for not say even a word before leaving. I should apologize if I meet someday. (TN: Yes, she is really, really mad, she waste all her scene time in character info to swear will catch you and complain a whole lot)
… For now, let’s clean up things before my eyes. (I guess she mean to help Oswald out of his mess)
It will be bad if Oswald-kun get killed, I’m not even say goodbye and thank yet.
More important, It will make me sad that I can not take a nap comfortably. Literally.
When I thought so, I already left Neguseo-san and was running ahead.
From behind, I heard his voice again ” Buhin~tsu! ? “.But now I do not have time to explain so I will leave him alone.
The smell of blood is getting stronger. I guess it would be better to hurry.
