chapter 1
1 – All I can think of is you
Knock knock.
I heard a knock late at night.
There shouldn’t be any guests. At least the scheduled guests.
Since I was in the middle of polishing my sword, I thought it would pass quickly if I just ignored it for a while.
Because an unscheduled night guest always brings only misfortune.
The horizontal scar on my stomach right now was also caused by a guest that night.
So I decided to focus a little more on grooming my sword now.
Smart smart.
The guest this night seemed to be quite persistent.
…If I had been a little more persistent, wouldn’t she have been angry? I suddenly had such a thought.
You are always like this. If you think it’s even a little dangerous, just give up. Do you have no ambition?
Actually, even I, who was so careful, almost lost my life several times.
That’s why I always tried not to hold a grudge against anyone,
Also, while doing the risky adventure job, I always used to roll my head to be prudent.
I tried to prepare for all kinds of situations when the situation came up,
I was always desperate not to deviate from my predictions.
That’s why I’ve always rejected dangerous requests, especially after I found someone I love.
So I gave up easily when I thought it was dangerous.
Knock, knock, knock!
This time, the night guest knocked on the door until it rang.
Should I stop chasing him now, he stood up holding a well-polished knife.
Because it would be difficult if I had an ugly scar on my stomach like last time.
… Even though she quarreled with her, she at least wanted to see her alive again.
Of course, I was more worried about her leaving the dangerous place than I was.
Recently, it was all the more so because there was a priest who seemed sinister inside to accompany her on a request.
The request I rejected was that I was already dissatisfied with her always being with him.
Also, the contents of each of the requests she received were not easily known, and they were high-risk requests, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Above all, he looks like a parasitic brother, the background looks pretty neat, and he has some money in his family, so
For no reason, I was worried that she might lose one eye on her, and as I had to be terrified of her, I was slowly getting dissatisfaction with her behavior.
But she was definitely someone I loved, and even though she might be dissatisfied with my behavior, she was a lovely lover who always came back with an armful of gifts and souvenirs from me.
So this late at night I can’t sleep, I’m anxious,
Clean the sword to a shine,
Please pray that nothing happens to her,
I was hoping she wasn’t disappointed with how I looked.
That’s why the customer I met when I opened the door was a very welcome person to me.
“Helena!”
I faced my lover who returned with a smile, but soon I couldn’t stop my face from rapidly contorting.
“…Help, help, Niel. Please.”
Although her voice and the features of her face I know she fits.
It couldn’t be wrong. I shared her love with her all her three years,
Because I spent my days with her every day.
So obviously this woman in front of me was Elena Hartfield, she was the one I love.
But there was something very different about her.
Her eyes were red, and her platinum hair was dyed black.
She was standing in front of me, shivering from the cold, wearing an overcoat that she didn’t normally wear because it was uncomfortable.
Above all, the awkwardly sharp, elongated fangs whenever she opened her mouth were obviously getting on my nerves.
“…Ele…I.”
Shedding tears and trembling in the cold winter wind, she soon knelt down in front of me.
“Help me, Niel… I only thought of you. You were the only person I could trust.”
She is a monster branded as a heretic, in which the church hunts even the hunters themselves.
Cursed blood flows and sucks the blood of innocent humans,
“Please, please… Save me.”
…Was turned into a vampire.
***
Seated her in her rocking chair in front of her bonfire, right where I had just been sitting,
I picked up the kettle that was sitting on the stove and started making honey tea.
Still unwilling to stop crying, she covered her mouth as far as she could, shaking her body.
Her changed appearance and her fangs made her stomach ache,
She had to calm her down and come up with her things about her.
‘Who, when, where, what, how, why.’
Always grasp the situation calmly and calmly.
This is an important virtue.
For a while, honey meets hot water and slowly mixes in a translucent trajectory.
Watch the white steam rising,
Soon, she closed her eyes once and sorted out the thoughts that popped into her head.
Elena has turned into a vampire over the past three days, probably from her most recent request.
How, and why, is… It was something I couldn’t figure out, so it was something she had to ask her.
…Vampires.
If her existence is known, the people of the church will come to my house and shove her holy relics and holy weapons at her.
So what?
She will burn terribly and die.
In front of my eyes.
I couldn’t see anything like that.
But at the same time, isn’t she a vampire who can’t survive without drinking human blood?
That would mean that I had to get her blood myself from somewhere and feed it to her.
First of all, let’s start with her.
“Helena, here’s your favorite honey tea.”
She would always ask me for honey tea when she was upset or when her mind was busy.
Originally, she used to burn it, but I heard that the ratio is the best when I burn it.
“…Go, thank you.”
After wiping away her tears, she looked at the honey tea and quietly put it on the desk.
“Aren’t you… Drinking?”
“That, that’s… I’m sorry, I’m sorry… That honey tea smells really weird, I’m sorry…”
“Smells strange, wait…”
I took a sip of her honey tea and took a sip of her tea.
It was a typical honey tea taste, as if the sweetness of spring was slightly alive at the end of the sweet taste.
“…Not bad.”
“So, that’s… I… I usually vomit up all my food, and I couldn’t even drink enough water… So…”
With her constantly covering her own mouth, she shed her tears and soon a drop of her saliva dripped onto her own clothes.
“I, so… I’m sorry, I’m sorry… No, I can’t do that, I’m sorry…”
I got up from her seat and grabbed her arm as she hurried to the front door.
If you can’t drink liquids properly and refuse food…
“Then you can only drink blood.”
“Leave this, Niel, please…”
It was pitiful to see her refusing to even show me her face properly.
She struggled to cover her own face with her free other arm, waving her hand in her grasp and struggling to get away from me.
“You die if you go out. There’s no way other people will leave you alone.”
“But – “
Whoa, I let out her breath and took out her sword from her waist and calmly placed it on her arm that was holding her.
“Wait, Niel, what are you going to do-“
And without giving her time to stop me, I slit her arm without hesitation.
“Kuk – “
A sharp pain set in, and I clenched my fist tightly as I watched the blood flow.
“Heh, heh… No, no, please, Niel, don’t do this…”
That’s what she said, but her eyes were wide open, looking straight at my arm.
Her breath was getting rougher, her tongue licking her pale lips.
As the very red, vivid red liquid slowly dripped down my arm, her eyes followed exactly the red liquid.
“Huhhhhh”
I don’t know how it looks in her eyes, but
What was clear was that she desperately needed blood.
As she passed her stretch, her drool over her neck, she slowly, very slowly, grabbed my arm with her own hand.
When a drop rides down my arm, slowly descends to the tip of my little finger,
She put her tongue on my finger and started licking her blood.
“Huh, uh… Uh…”
The sharp fangs flashed continuously, but she seemed to be working hard not to bite me as much as possible.
Instead, I kissed the blood that flowed down my arm, licked it off several times, and then covered my wound with my lips.
“Zhung, chung…”
The blood wasn’t flowing enough to drip, so she seemed eager to enjoy the blood even a little more.
The rougher her breathing also indicated that she had suppressed her desire to vamp for quite some time.
“Huh, tsk…”
As she held my arms tightly with both hands and swallowed blood, her eyes became hazy for a while…
Soon, it flashed.
Slowly, she pulled her lips away from her arm and opened her mouth.
The blood mixed with her saliva connected the sharp upper and lower teeth with a red yet transparent thread.
“Hyaaah…!”
Seeing her face rushing into my arm with a creepy sound, I hurriedly tried to pull her arm away, but it was too late.
“Helena, sleep – oh…!”
Quad Deuk,
I felt my teeth digging deep into my muscles.
As the pointed teeth pierced my skin and landed beneath it, my heart started beating like crazy with a sharp stabbing pain in my brain.
At the same time, I could see that the warm blood flowing out of my arm had increased.
“Helena, you, big-“
“Clap, clap, clap…”
I began to hear the sound of my blood flowing down her esophagus so clearly and distinctly.
As I watched an enraptured smile come to her face, I felt a momentary surge of inexplicable disgust,
I was able to slowly calm it down.
My mind was still intact,
Her breath was slowly calming down.
Elena, I love her, she needed her blood, and she is drinking it and calming down.
Once I realized that fact, I was able to calmly observe her vampirism.
It didn’t take long for her to regain her senses,
At the same time, finally removing her mouth from her arm, she hurriedly ran to her room, distorting her face.
I could also see him pull the drawer to break it and take out the bandage.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
I remember her right, as she almost let go of the bandage from her hand in her urgency, but somehow managed to hold on to my wound and treat her.
Although I noticed now that her fingernails were a little longer, thicker and sharper, it was very noticeable,
At least she bit me on my arm and took her blood, she was the one I know.
Clear tears fell from her red eyes and wet my arms and knees.
These were clear, salty tears no different from those of humans.
“…Write it,”
It was a sharp pain and a fact that I learned that her tears were no different from other human tears thanks to her tears flowing into my wounds –
Isn’t that important?
As she clumsily wraps her bandage around the wound on her arm, her quivering hand holds her arm, holds her crying girl in her arms. Gave.
She was Elena Heartfield, the one I loved,
I came back safely to my side.
Right now, that fact couldn’t be so fortunate.
