Chapter 87.1: , End’s seriousness

I feel like its been quite a long since Ive gained a new life as an Undead.

Of course I understand that the actual time that has passed isnt that long. But for me, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that that time is comparable to my previous life, where I was bedridden alone my whole life.

At first, I was a Fleshman. After gathering the power of death, I turned into a Ghoul and by taking in the Lords remains, I have become a Lesser Vampire.

After finding Senri, somebody who understood me, she shared her blood with me and I became stronger. I learnt combat techniques. I became able to use magic, albeit slightly. After a mortal combat with Albertus, I stole her ability to transform into a dog, I realized how to use the ability Dark Stalker and awakened my dormant special ability Curse Steal.

And now, I have gained even more power after a fierce battle with the Demon King.

I learned how to use blood power, stole the Cursed Flame I havent mutated into the next rank, but my powers are not the same as they were when I first turned into a Lesser Vampire.

Looking at me, as I stood in the middle of the room imposingly in a human form, with my arms folded, Senri said while frowning,

I see What are you trying to say, End?

Senri is beautiful even when shes scowling. Even without the wonderful fragrance of blood coming from her porcelain-like skin if I was in my dog form right now, Id be going crazy wagging my tail.

Senri looks exasperated every time I wag my tail, but its something I cannot stop even if I wanted to. Its an irresistible destiny as a dog.

Senri Silvis is emotional support for me now.

I have confidence that Ill be fine even if the whole world becomes my enemy as long as shes by my side. If shes ever gone I dont have confidence that I wont turn into a monster.

To this very important person, I say with a serious expression.

I want revenge, Senri

I gather the blood power in my limbs. If I concentrate the usually slowly moving power, my already monstrous physical abilities reach another level.

Revenge?

Perhaps the Death Knights can see the flow of blood power, as Senris expression grows stiff. But its already too late for her to realize her blunder.

I point my finger at her and say.

Senri, Im challenging you! I want to redo the game of tag we had before, when you toyed with my pure heart with underhanded tricks!

?!

If I can catch you, I will do whatever I want to you, just as you said last time!

I was inexperienced then. I didnt know how to use my powers and I didnt understand the strengths and weaknesses of vampires either. Im different now.

Whatever the result, I still survived a deadly fight with the Demon King Rainel. Even if I cant beat Senri, I should be able to catch her. No, Ill definitely catch her. And Ill also end the thing Ive been postponing for so long.

Senri meets my bold declaration of war with an exasperated face. And, actually does voice her feelings with Im astonished.

But Im serious. Senri at that time was way too cruel. Even if it was for the sake of training, for her to play with the pure heart of a vampire, shes an even more devilish woman than the actual Demon, Monica.

Senri and I are facing off in a room in the inn. Although it might be a double room, the room itself isnt that big.

Naturally, there is no oasis nearby like last time either. I can evaporate some water with magic and knowing Senri, shell be careful to not hurt me, so this place with a few spaces to escape to is extremely beneficial for me.

I was eagerly waiting for the right timing. It has been more than a week since the last time I received blood from Senri, so its not like I have a lot of blood power to spare, but the reason I chose this moment was because blood tastes the best when Im thirsty. It was a very natural decision.

I will take the best blood in the best way at the best time.

Senri lets out a small sigh.

I cant believe I was surprised.

You can only keep saying that now, Senri. Ive matured while I was away from you.

Of course, I wont use Cursed Flame. I wont lengthen my claws and fangs either. Its only natural because my objective isnt to injure Senri.

But, I have confidence to catch her even without those.

Senri touches the finger I am thrusting at her and makes me lower it.

I dont remember saying that you could do anything you wanted.

So youve lost your nerve now, Senri!? How unfair!

I didnt say that. Besides, if you want blood, Ill just give it to you. Its a bit early, but I was expecting it to come soon.

Senri brushes up her hair a little. I reflexively swallow, but I turn my head away with iron will.

Wrong! What I want is not just blood. I want a victory drink! I know the way to drink Senris wonderful blood even more deliciously.

Senri, this is a vampire instinct. I want to catch you and drink your blood!

Once I catch you, we will take a shower together. Once were done cleansing ourselves, well dry off properly and go to bed naked. Then, I will spend the night slowly sucking your blood! I want to hold your soft and slender body down and drink your blood! This is a vampires instinct! Thus, I swore to god on the day I lost that game of tag that I would take revenge one day! And that day is today!

Listening to my heartfelt outcry, Senris cheeks uncharacteristically stiffen. Her neck is slightly dyed red and a dizzying wonderful smell of blood wafts about. However, the smell of Senris excited blood, twisting from the pleasure of Feeding, is no match for me. Its fine. Ive practiced on Monica, so I should be able to hold back to some extent.

End, vampires dont have that kind of instinct.

Then what is it that Im feeling?! Is this perhaps love?

Needless to even think about it, I love Senri, who took my side from the beginning. Thats why, I want to suck her blood. Feeding is also one of the ways of expressing affection for me. Thus, when shes so against it, I feel a little sad. She already gives me blood regularly so does it really matter how she gives it to me?

Stop it, End. Its good that youre gradually turning white, but I cant keep up with this feeling of tension, so stop it

Were going to play tag! If I catch you Ill have you say End, I love you instead of keeping your voice down while I suck your blood. And whats more, it wont be just once, but many times.
