Episode 277 A Vampire Who Says There’s No Blood or Tears (2)
After obtaining consent from the woman for the operation, Ray gathered the necessary items and moved to the inn.
In the process, Lacia forced her to return home.
He insisted that he would watch until the end, but his attitude was firm.
That’s because the other person is a vampire, so you don’t know what will happen to you.
Left alone at the inn, Ray thought about the future.
“The body of a vampire may have a different side to that of a human. We need to operate as carefully as possible.”
Heart surgery has been around for quite some time.
The last time I did it was more than six years ago.
What’s more, the things about vampires were all the things I had seen in Aira’s study.
Being ignorant of them, one minor mistake was likely to be fatal.
Of course, after explaining it, the woman agreed.
While he was doing image training and moving his hands in the air, a woman of manners opened the door and came inside.
I tilt my head as I see him moving his hands around.
“…what are you doing?”
“I was loosening my hands. It’s not going to happen at all, but my hands might be stiff.”
In the first place, there is no way that his body, which has surpassed that of the masters, will harden.
Moreover, the five senses that have transcended human beings would not make them forget, perhaps if they had made them more sensitive.
Not knowing that fact, she was quite worried.
‘Can it really be fixed?’
Anxiety creeps in.
Ray was taken aback as he felt the disbelief beginning to settle in his eyes.
Who could ever distrust himself in medicine!
Even in modern times, which are dozens of times more advanced than medicine here, no one cast such a glance at him.
Ray, a symbol of trust and safety, was wounded.
Naturally, the lips protruded.
“Don’t worry. Even in the worst case, it will be better than now.”
Of course, he said it sincerely, but it is impossible for a vampire to have the eyes of truth like an elf.
I couldn’t tell if this was a bluff or the truth, so my anxiety increased a little.
This kind of reaction is natural because it was a disease that even famous priests and priests could not cure.
At that, Ray pulled his chin up confidently, but it didn’t look very believable to her.
The woman, who was taking a small deep breath, put one foot behind her and looked down.
“This is Tiffria. It’s late, but please kindly understand.”
“It’s the same for each other. I am Ray.”
“…but the mask…”
“Oh, that’s right. Sharing names was a precious culture for vampires, wasn’t it?”
It is often said that they share ‘true names’.
For vampires, the act of teaching each individual name is as precious as their laws.
It’s not something that can be done with a mask on.
Ray took off the mask he was used to.
Her white hair came down casually, and her blue eyes, which were sparsely visible, brought a sense of mystery.
Tiffria’s brain stopped for a moment at the beauty that even the elves, who were said to be a race of beauty, and even the vampires themselves could not compare to.
Embarrassed by that, Ray put on the mask again.
“Are you done now?”
Tiffria, who suddenly came to her senses, nodded.
“It’s done. I was surprised for a moment…”
“I understand that everyone reacts like that. Rather than that, I want to talk about surgery now.”
“I think it is better to do it as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter if it hurts, so please end it quickly.”
Ray shook his head at Tiffria’s words.
It is not the kind of surgery that ends quickly just because it starts quickly.
Ray’s words became serious.
“As I said during the day, this is different from divine magic. Early surgery does not mean better results.”
However, there is a reason she cannot back down either.
‘Even at this moment, I don’t know what my brother is planning. The longer the body is weakened, the shorter the time to respond.’
Tiffria, who made up her mind again, said.
“I have work to do. I beg you. Please help me get better as soon as possible.”
Instead of backing down, he urges the operation.
She has lived like this for almost half her life.
In addition, he has been fighting with his brother’s faction for over two hundred years.
In a way, it is natural that he was thirsty for treatment.
After thinking for a moment, Ray nodded.
“great. Instead…”
“….”
“Tomorrow to see the status. And I go into surgery three days later. You can’t pull the seal faster than this.”
That’s faster than she thinks.
Of course, I couldn’t refuse.
“All right.”
Tiffria agreed.
Then he moves his mouth as if he is trying to say something.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“What is it?”
“It might be the last day, so I want to get the surgery… at a place I want.”
He thinks of dying before he even starts the operation.
However, it is not Ray who would refuse even such a thing.
He nodded willingly.
“I do.”

When the next morning came, I put her on the bed to check on Tiffria’s condition.
Ray, who checked here and there by stabbing his neck, wrists and thighs several times, fell off the bed.
“Whew…”
“How is it?”
“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the surgery. I’ll have to separate it to find out the details, but if it’s simply a coronary artery problem, I think I can cut the vein in my thigh and use it.”
Tiffria did not understand what he was talking about.
I was just heartbroken to hear that there was no problem.
“That is fortunate. So, are you going into surgery two days later as scheduled?”
“that’s right. If there is a skilled healer nearby, I will take him there as soon as possible and use it, but it seems that there are only chaff around here, so it is better not to overdo it.”
The skilled people who healed the patients who even the priests had let go of were quickly transformed into fraudulent therapists with no skills whatsoever.
Tiffria rose from the bed.
“Then, I think we can leave for the surgery site tomorrow. It’s a place to go in half a day from here… Are you sure you’re okay?”
“are you okay. I’ve packed all my stuff, so as long as I finish the surgery and come back on time, it’ll be fine.”
“…All right.”
At his words, Tiffria said goodbye and left the inn.
Ray didn’t have anything else to do, so he lay down on the bed.
I don’t know what kind of place I’m going to visit tomorrow, but it must be a place with memories for her.
It is also a place that has been adopted as the last place of life that could be the last.
Ray, who imagined a beautiful lake and a flower field filled to the horizon, fell asleep.
* * *
Joined Tiffria and moved exactly half a day.
Somehow, seeing it going deep into the mountains reminded me of yesterday’s imagination.
‘How great is the scenery that you come into the mountains like this?’
The appetite is savored.
I should have bought a bottle of delicious wine just in case!
After regretting it, I can’t go back to the village.
From the middle of the mountain, you had to get off the wagon and walk up the mountain yourself.
I went up along the mountain road made up of rocks without a single step.
But it’s pretty hard.
The horse is a mountain road, but it doesn’t seem to be a road made for people to climb.
At this level, with a little exaggeration, it can be called a precipitous cliff.
I don’t know if this is going up by walking or climbing.
‘If I have to suffer like this, it must be a masterpiece.’
As I walked up to the top carefully, there was a beautiful view that I had been waiting for.
Instead of a clear lake, there is a large swamp, and there is a dilapidated mansion that you don’t know when it will collapse in the future.
Is that all?
A thick fog hung between the mansions.
There was a sense of distance from the scenery he had imagined, roughly equivalent to Altair and Vega.
Surprised by the rich scenery, Ray looked at Tiffria, and she pointed her hand as if asking why.
“There it is.”
Doing surgery in an old mansion that is so well-worn that you are afraid of ghosts appearing?
I can’t understand at all.
It makes you want to open the vampire’s brain to see what it’s thinking.
Entering the mansion with a disappointed expression, the inside was quite luxurious.
Was the appearance just to deceive the eyes of others?
As I looked around, a lady-in-waiting approached me from one side.
“Welcome, Miss Tiffria. But the human smell…”
“Ah. This is the human who came to treat me. If it’s okay with you two, please share your true name.”
Before she could say anything, the vampire maid frowned.
“The ancestors said that you should not mix eyes with a person who cannot be eaten. What’s more, mixing the true name with a suspicious human wearing a mask like this. That’s not to say.”
The mansion is also decrepit, but even the servants like it very much.
I want to give a round of applause to the collaboration that is so wonderfully matched.
Tiffria apologized instead.
“sorry. But please understand that I am not a bad child.”
He nods his head as if nothing happened.
“I don’t care.”
I care very much.
Ray has a fairly long hind end.
He looked at the maid and remembered her face.
Sooner or later there will be great disadvantages.
He was assigned a room under the guidance of a lady-in-waiting.
The vampire maid, who hadn’t said anything until now, spoke with her eyes wide open.
“Hey human. Tiffria-sama is the noblest of all. If you dare to behave recklessly, I know you will taste bitter.”
The mana, which is very weak, is vigorously raised in the grass.
Ray, who was clearing his ears, blew with a puff.
I wasn’t even listening to it with my ears.
“That’s very exciting. Be noisy and bring a table. Customers are hungry.”
I couldn’t refuse because I was ordered by Tiffria to make it as convenient as possible.
The vampire maid shuddered.
To hear a commanding voice from a mere human!
When did your situation fall like this!
In a fresh shock she hadn’t experienced in over a hundred years, the vampire maid gnashed her teeth and left the door.
“I’ll bring it soon, so wait!”
bang-!
He slams the door violently and goes somewhere while giggling.
“You listen well.”
