The Vampire, the Oni and the Ninja

Authors note: vampire girls point of view.

During my previous incarnation, I knew that I was secretly called Rihoko. Real horror girl. Rihoko, for short. I dont know who started calling me that. Not in the least bit amusing, a nickname that purely holds me in contempt.

That is what the boy in front of me put into words. During the previous conference he introduced himself as a reincarnator already, so its no surprise that he knows about me. However, given that I didnt reveal my name from my previous existence, why is this guy speaking that name?

Hey? If you just freeze I wont understand though? Just who might you be talking about?

When I tried cross-examining him while being coercive, the boy, I think it was Kusama-kun, made an amusingly cramped face. Kyouya-kun who is also looking over his shoulder at me, made an uh oh expression as well.

If you just stay silent I wont understand, right? Hurry up and say it.

When I tried increasing the threatening further, Kusama-kuns face turns pale and he sinks into silence. Damn. Threatening had the opposite effect it seems. Kusama-kun was the type to sink into silence when he was at a disadvantage I believe.

This is getting annoying so Ill just use Charm I guess? Temporarily putting Charm on him seems like the quickest way to get him to confess everything he knows.

Perhaps he guessed my disquieting thoughts, as Kusama-kun prostrated himself. A dogeza.

Sorry excuse me please forgive me!

While doing a dogeza on the bed Kusama-kun gives a full apology, speaking without pause. Somehow, after seeing that pitiful figure I lost the inclination to cross-examine him. That being said, Im certainly still furious, so if I let him off the hook here I wont be able to calm down.

I move to stand in front of the kneeling Kusama-kun, and force his head to look up at me. When our eyes meet, I smile sweetly.

Ehe?

When Kusama-kun responds with a tight ingratiating smile, I instantly bite into the nape of his neck, which has cold sweat slowly running down it.

Hogeh!?

I suck up the blood that flows out from where I stabbed into with my fangs. However, that was also for an instant, as right away my shoulder was grabbed from behind and I was pulled back. As I expected, when I turned around there was Kyouya-kun with a grim face.

Ooh? Ooohh? Oohhhh

Kusama-kuns mouth opens and closes like a goldfish while meaningless moans rise out. I lick off the blood trickling around my mouth, and turn my gaze to Kyouya-kun.

I just took a little blood. With this I shall forgive his slander. Got a problem?

Kyouya-kun seemed to be about to say something, but perhaps he also thought that Kusama-kun was at fault, as he mutely releases his hand from my shoulder and sighs.

Sasa-yan, I somehow feel, a new door opening within me.

Dont. That mustnt be opened.

While pressing a hand onto his neck where I bit him, this pervert is spouting nonsense. Well, apparently it feels good to be bitten by a vampire so maybe its too much to call him a pervert.

So? How exactly did you know it was me?

Ah, yes. Weve been keeping records of whats been happening with the reincarnators after creating a list of all the classmates, so we know about the current state of most of the reincarnators. Using that, by a process of elimination, we could confirm who was who, yes.

Meaning, most of the class have been found then?

To Kusama-kuns reply, Kyouya-kun responded. Unlike me, Kyouya-kun had friends, and maybe theres someone hed like to meet.

Yeah. The majority are at the elf village though, but Ogi infiltrated and was able to determine the identity of everyone there. Theres also several enrolled in the academy at a neighbouring country, and weve also identified them. Then, at the previous conference there was the three of you reincarnators right? Certainly we hadnt identified you yet, and the list wasnt completed yet, but I could tell who Sasa, er, Wrath was from his face, and the same with Wakaba-san. Then, since it seemed that the only girl who hadnt been found was Negishi-san, by a process of elimination I figured she was probably Negishi-san.

Ogi did?

Ah, I shouldnt have said that.

I wonder if this guys okay? I feel that he just leaked some pretty important information without batting an eyelid though.

P, please act like you didnt hear that. Okay? Okay?

Sure. Well, were already cooperating with regards to the elves so I guess its probably okay?

Yes! Safe!

Youre not safe. While Kyouya-kun did say that its okay he didnt say anything about not having heard it. This guy might be hopeless.

Incidentally, is it possible to show me that list?

Sure, no problem. I have a copy, so wait a sec.

Saying so Kusama-kun moved aside a pile of rubbish. Is this really okay? Isnt that more or less some kind of secret document? Just because were all reincarnators here surely that doesnt mean its okay to blithely hand it over so easily?

Found it, found it. I have pen and paper so feel free to make a copy.

Im not particularly interested, but Kyouya-kun is making a copy of that paper with a serious expression. Hes completely different to me who has no lingering attachment to my previous life.

Thank you. You were a great help.

Youre welcome!

Kyouya-kun hands back the original note to Kusama-kun.

Afterwards, Ill have to show this to Shiro-san as well.

Somehow or other I give a start when that name is said. Ah, thats right. I was told by goshujin-sama that theyre going to return so I need to fetch Kyouya-kun. This is bad. With everything that was going on here quite a lot of time has elapsed. Goshujin-sama might be getting irritated at having to wait about now.

Kyouya-kun, if youre done then its about time we return. Ariel-san and the others are already waiting.

Sophia-san, how many times do I have to tell you that I dont want to be called by my name?

I ignore what Kyouya-kun is saying with a frown. Since Im deliberately calling him Kyouya-kun as harassment, theres no way Id stop if asked is there.

Lets go already. If you dont come then youll be left here.

I promptly turn around and head towards the previous conference room. Outside the door is a person from the church who guided me here. Not only that, I sense the presence of what feels like human dark-ops hiding in the shadows monitoring us, but Ill ignore them unless they make a move on us. Theres no way that they would allow an outsider, or rather someone who could practically be called an enemy, to walk around freely without monitoring them. Im sure that they heard the conversation in Kusama-kuns room as well. Kusama-kun, are you going to be okay? Im sure you wont be killed, but youll probably be severely scolded at least. Well, its nothing to do with me. I expel Kusama-kuns situation from my mind and quickly head back to where goshujin-sama is.

PopeOur ninja is so rubbish that its dangerous.
