How does it feel, being a vampire? Huh? That was quite abrupt

Moving my body is fun. Vampires dont gain muscles through muscle training and they dont get tired even when they move around, but maybe its because of the experience from my previous life that I cant calm down unless Im moving. Today, when I was doing my daily routine of handstand push-ups as usual to confirm the joy of my body moving without pain, Senri, who was sitting in a chair and observing me, suddenly asked me something like that.

I bounced up into the air strongly with the power of my arms, spun around and landed.

Its rare for Senri to ask me something like that. Shes always careful to try to make me forget that Im an undead as much as possible.

I dont mind it at all, but even though its been quite a while since we started traveling together, for Senri, becoming an undead is still a tragedy. Still, its hard to describe how it feels. If I was asked the same when I was a human, I would most likely have also felt troubled back then too. As I frowned and groaned earnestly, I answered timidly.

Hmm if I had to say it it feels like Im moving even though Im a corpse.

I see.

Im strong, Im not in pain, I get thirsty, but I dont get very hungry and I dont need to go to the toilet either. I have several deadly weaknesses, I have to hide from humans and I keep getting attacked by wild vampire hunters, wild Order of Death Knight and wild Demon Kings, but overall I feel incomparably better compared to my previous life. And Senri also provides me with blood.

As I blinked in confusion out of the old habit, Senri eventually replied with a heavy voice.

The Kings of the Dead that live for long lose their humanity. Eternal time is too long for a humans soul.

Isnt that because the kind of necromancer, who would become the King of the Dead would have a problematic human nature? I would certainly go crazy if I had to live alone for tens, hundreds or even thousands of years, but Ive only just become undead. The undead are immortal but right now I look my age, so I should still have some time until my immortal body becomes too much for me.

Ive been a little worried about that for a long time, but theres no use thinking about it, so I decided to put it off for later.

I said with a heavy tone to Senri, who looked like she wanted to say something.

Senri, Ill work the night shift.

I see. Everybody hates the night shift, right? I I would definitely work the night shift if human society acknowledged me.

Night shift

Its the perfect job for me. Ill be the guard or whatever. If youre not good with the sunlight, all you have to do is avoid it and if you cant eat garlic, all you have to do is live in a way that lets you steer clear from it. Once you get used to it, a body full of weaknesses is unexpectedly fine. I wont die even if Im left as just a head or set on fire, so some level of weaknesses should be forgiven. Well, I kind of feel like I wouldnt have to experience those if I wasnt a vampire, but this world is full of dangers.

If I were to be reborn, I would choose to be a vampire again. I mean, wont I die if I run into werewolves as a human?

Ill be a guard that only works at night. Im a professional who has the physical strength tens or hundreds of times stronger than a human and wont die even if Im only left as a head. Ive even fought against the Demon King. And, Ill provide for you, Senri.

End, your positive attitude is a great virtue.

I was praised.

Though, even Senri, who says that, used to be bedridden, but shes a Death Knight now. Maybe feeling better than you used to is an incredible strength.

Thats why, Senri shouldnt feel too obliged to me. Im not pitiful. I am feared as a monster, the Order of Death Knights is trying to kill me, I was chased around by the vampire hunters and Im a bit worried about immortality, but Im still having fun despite everything. Ive died once. Normally that would be the end. The fact that Im still moving like this is a bonus. Complaining would be unreasonable.

I stood in front of Senri, took on a serious expression and opened my arms wide.

Also, I have you too, Senri. Im not alone. So Im not lonely at all.

Perhaps I might have become depressed if I had to live as a vampire alone. Theres a possibility that I would have attacked people in order to drink their blood. However, Senri prevented that with her own body. She has always been an understanding person. Shes noble, thoughtful of me, strong and kind. It would be too much to ask for a higher status than this.

Senri kept looking at me with her clear eyes, but then she stood up and opened up her arms without saying anything.

See? Shes incredibly kind.

I gently hugged Senri with a smile

And pushed her down on a nearby bed. The power of the blessing of Death Knights is strong, but without it, Senris powers dont go outside the realm of humanity. Once Im close enough to hug her, her swordsmanship skills become irrelevant. Senri opens her eyes wide in surprise. That expression on the face of Senri, whos always calm, is very age-appropriate, fresh and very cute.

?! End?!

Youre so kind, Senri~

No! Thats not what I meant! I just gave you blood recently!

A sharp kick flies into my stomach, but its nothing for me, who can be relatively fine even if theres a hole in my stomach. As I approach her, I can feel a strong smell of blood under her pale skin. Her heart is beating hard. I hold down Senris limbs and rub my head against her neck. I dont know why, but I feel strange. My vampire hunting instincts are being stimulated. Her white skin is smooth, her limbs are delicate and shes soft no matter where I touch her. Even in the dim darkness, illuminated only by a candlelight, my vampire eyes could clearly see her flushed skin. Senri voiced her protest.

End, no! This is different from what you promised! You get blood once a week!

I wont drink your blood! But Ill snuggle you! According to the vampire knowledge Ive acquired, male vampires love beautiful girls!

?!

Studying ahead is important. I must find the next place to drink the blood from the place where Senris reaction is the best. The moment I concentrated all my nerves and took it more seriously than my muscle training, the soul that existed deep within Senris body beneath me, started to shine strongly.

Soul Release!

I will absolutely never trust you again.

Senri told me, who had lost my powers from the light of Soul Release and was rolling on the floor after being knocked off. Soul Release is the weakest spell amongst the spells that use the blessing. Even if it could purify a low-level undead, it can only be a light punishment for me.

I stand up while rubbing my stomach.

Im hearing that for like the 5th time though.

Im fine. Theres no need to worry. I wont give in no matter what happens, wont have regrets and will be happy. Do you understand me? Senri turned away in a puff.

Perhaps because Ive become stronger from receiving blood regularly, Ive become used to the Soul Release too. Next time. Next time I can definitely do it.

Senri quietly turned her narrowed eyes at me, who had become convinced, and sighed a little.
