Vol. 1 Chapter 6

06 "Vampire escort."

 

“By dropout, do you mean you, Kale?” Crenna asked quickly after leaving the classroom.

"Yeah."

"Hmm. So you weren't lying when you said you couldn't use your ...... ability.” Crenna mumbled, thinking about something.

 

“I'll tell you what, everything I said in class was true. I was originally planning to enroll in this school from the beginning, but due to various reasons, I was delayed.”

 

“Family reasons, you say?”

 

“Yes, more of a vampire thing than a family ...... thing."

 

Crenna drops her gaze and affirms. In other words, it was a coincidence that I met again at school. However, it's not unnatural. The Heiria Academy is the most prominent in the capital. If she lived in Grancell, it was pretty natural to attend this school.

 

“I thought it might be because you were wearing a school uniform here that night, but it turns out we were at the same school. ...... Ehehe, I'm kind of happy that someone I know is at the same school.”

 

“I'm not happy at all.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“As for me, I don't want to get involved in anything dangerous like that again. I don't want to get into that kind of danger again.”

“And even though we know each other, we hardly ever talk face to face.”

“I'm going to explain to you what happened that night because I'm responsible for getting you involved. ...... You're curious, aren't you?”

 

"...... Well, yeah."

 

I took her to the store and bought a loaf of bread; we headed to the small courtyard inside the school. It had always been a place where not many people gathered, so it was perfect for private conversations.

 

“Now, where should I start? ...... First, let me tell you about that devil guy.”

 

“Oh."

 

“I'm not sure if this is going to be a long conversation or not, but I'm going to cut it short, make a pause, and then open my mouth again.

The man is a dog of the Alguard Empire.

The Alguard Empire is a powerful military state, and its territory is adjacent to the Kingdom of Arnelia. The empire has a stricter stance on subhumans than the kingdom with its strong military background. However, it is not that they exclude all subhumans but instead exclude races that do not have military power. For example - the country is uncomfortable for races that are not good at fighting, such as dwarves and fairies.”

 

“What do you mean by "dog?"

 

“They're the last members of the army. They're looking for subhuman blood right now. Have you ever heard of ...... special armaments and special warfare?”

 

“...... There was a bit of a rumour about it a long time ago. It was a weapon that made use of race characteristics. At the end of the race war, the humans started to develop it, but ...... the war ended before they could finish it, and the whole project was thrown away. But I heard that was an urban legend.”

 

“It's not a legend, it's real, and the Empire is still developing it in secret.” Crenna took a beat and resumed her explanation.

 

 

 

“The material for the special armament is the blood of the sub-humans ......, especially the royal blood. They're after me for it."

 

“...... So, you're saying that you are vampire royalty?

 

“I'm a branch of the family. I'm from the B-Bartoli bloodline. I'm from the B Bartoli bloodline, and my current family is from the T Zepesch bloodline. I'm from the B Bartoli bloodline, and my current family is from the T Zepesch bloodline. ...... Well, it doesn't matter to the Empire whether you're from a branch or the original family. They are looking for royal blood and pure blood at that. So I'm the material they want to get at all costs.”

 

"Material is ......." That doesn’t sound very optimistic, but it's true. She's going to be used as a weapon.

 

“In short, because of the attack by the thing, the admission procedure was delayed. I was supposed to make it in time for the entrance ceremony in April, but I was attacked so many times along the way that my schedule got thrown off. I didn't expect them to follow me through the empire. ......"

 

“Did You originally live in the Empire?”

 

“The vampire territory next to the Empire, to be exact.”

 

“Yeah. ......” It's not a very familiar place for humans.

 

The race wars are over, and discrimination based on race has decreased, but the reality is that allowing more than one race to live in a country or city can cause many problems. One example is the infrastructure of the town. Humans live in houses made of stone or wood, but some fairies, spirits, and beastmen prefer to live in nature. Also, while humans have no trouble getting around as long as there are roads on the ground, vampires fly in the sky, so they have to take care of air routes as well.

These problems can often be solved by compromise. Those who cannot tolerate them create closed but comfortable settlements where only their kind can stay. The vampire territory is a settlement inhabited only by vampires. Crenna used to live there.

“The vampire territory was more comfortable. It's relatively safe because no other species can enter there, and besides, Crenna can live like a nobleman, right?　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on here.”

 

“I'm not a fan of the aristocratic lifestyle. I came to the kingdom to make a fresh start because I wanted to live freely, ignoring the ties of family and tribe.”

 

“...... You sound like a princess who yearns for the outside world.”

 

“I'm not a princess.”

 

“I know that.”

 

“What?”

 

“You’re not a princess” it seems that the young lady has the suffering of the young lady. I understand that, and I have some sympathy for her.

 

“I'm sure the ...... sub-humans are pretty strong when it comes to royalty. And I've heard that purebloods also have stronger race traits.”

 

"yes, so I’m pretty strong to have both, right? well, the royal family is roughly purebred."

 

“But didn't you usually lose that night?”

 

“Oh, I was hungry that night; I had no choice! I also have something to explain to you, Kale.” Crenna looked straight at me.

 

“You've never been a member of the family before, have you? Then how did you manage to handle the vampire's abilities so well?”

"I don't know. I just thought I could, and I did.”

 

The Blood Dance Blatty Arts is a skill that very few vampires can master. How could you activate it so quickly, even though it is such advanced technology?”

 

“I don't know.”

 

“I think you're hiding something.　You’ve been through many battles as a vampire's Genus.”

 

“No.”

 

“Maybe you've never been human.”

 

“No.”

 

“Or you're a pervert.”

 

“Not at all.”

 

“I know. You've been looking up my skirt, haven't you?”

 

“I won't deny it.” She had noticed.

I think it would be strange for a healthy boy not to peek at that.

 

“I'm sorry, but I don't know. ...... I'm aware of it. I don't know if there is such a thing as being Genus, but if there is, I probably have a high aptitude for it.”

 

“I've never heard of a family member aptitude. I've never heard of it.”

 

I said, "If there is one. And it doesn't seem to be limited to vampires. Yesterday I became a Genus of a beastman, and he said I was crazy then, too.

 

"What?" Crenna frowned.

 

"Kale, did you ...... also become a beastman's ward?"

 

“Oh, yeah. It's just for a little while."

 

When I said that, Crenna looked dissatisfied with her cheeks inflated.

 

“I think I should have ...... spit on properly.”

 

“...... What do you mean?”

 

“As I explained earlier, I'm being targeted by the Empire. So, I need a strong ally. When you became my Genus, Kale, your strength was real. --I want you to be my bodyguard."

 

“What's a guard? ......”

 

“I want a bodyguard to protect me. I think it's a good idea.”

But it was a question that felt too sudden for me, who had spent my life peacefully as an ordinary student.

"That's what you can prepare for yourself, right, are you royalty..."

When I asked her that, she shook her head.

“I don't like to tell you this, but I left the vampire territory almost secretly...... and I don't have any guards with me at the moment.”

 

“What do you mean, "secretly"? ......”

 

“I couldn't have gotten out without it.” Crenna gives a fleeting smile.

I pursed my lips at her suggestion. I had already decided on my answer.

 

I don't want to get involved in something so dangerous. However, the situation that the girl in front of me was telling me was more difficult than I had imagined. I'm sure that the mental burden of her being targeted by the Empire, the nation itself, is immeasurable.

Although Crenna is acting cheerfully, she is involved in a deeper situation beyond a student’s control. Of course, it's beyond my control of me, a mere student.

 

--It's a heavy burden.

 

That was my honest impression. But...

 

--Should I abandon her?

 

I was also conflicted.

If I abandoned her here, wouldn't I have to continue living with a guilty feeling? Besides, the power of vampires was attractive to me as well. If only I had that power, I would have thought so many times.

But…

(...... Muir)

I think of my sister's carefree smile. Now that her parents have left, Muir's family is just me. I don't want to worry Muir.

I also had that feeling.

"I'll prepare the reward!” When I was struggling with my thoughts, Crenna said clearly.

“Five gold coins per day! What do you think?　How do you like that? I think it's quite reasonable for a student.”

 

“That's a lot of money, sure, but ...... can you afford that?”

 

“I’m royalty, after all. I'm sure I can afford it. ...... My mom!”

I put my awakened gaze on Crenna, who said with pride.

Five gold coins in a day, with this, I can pay my tuition in ten days and cover my daily living expenses.

In other words, I can reduce Muir's burden.

 

That was a firm decision for me.

"...... Okay. I'll take it."

This is how I pledged to become Crenna's bodyguard.
