EP.51
The abyss where the night of uninvited guests came was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish an inch ahead.
No, this would be the original appearance of the abyss. A deserted land with no light, no warmth, no space to set foot on.
I took a lamp and came down to the yard to check for the idiot who volunteered to enter the yard. Then, to my surprise, there was a corpse that came out before me.
“Tirkanjaka trainee? What are you doing here?”
Even though it was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish even an inch ahead, the parasol with the vampire in it was still uniquely dark. The pitch-black darkness covers her, more like the concept of darkness than the absence of light.
Among them, the vampire looked at me with glowing red eyes.
“Yongke woke up too. What seemed like a lot of sleep at night.”
“no way. Only the Tyrkanjaka trainees who go to eternal sleep. Compared to 300 years of continuous sleep, my night’s sleep is like a glowing firefly.”
“I mean…”
The vampire smiled softly and looked at me, to be exact, at the golem above my head.
“It is a cute toy. Are you a golem?”
“I am Captain Abbey, a military communications officer. I’ll beg your pardon in advance because I’m not going to pretend to know you because I’m a shy golem.”
the golem replied.
“denial. It’s not that I’m shy, it’s that direct contact with trainees is not recommended from the point of view of an observer
. Does the golem speak on its own without a controller…?”
The vampire’s red eyes widened a little, then he put his hand to his mouth and clasped it, muttering.
“Hmmmm. It must be a new technology. It’s not surprising anymore.”
It’s a lie. Vampires know nothing but golems controlled by threads. Magic communication is the newest thing for her.
“ah. yes. I’ll do something like that for now. Rather, why did you come out?”
The vampire dodged my question.
“I have no reason to explain this to you.”
“Is it because of the person who will come down soon?”
“…It is true.”
The vampire frowned at the slightest grunt.
“You already knew. Well, you said that this is the land of the military, and you manage it, right? There’s no way you, who is no different from the lord, doesn’t know.”
“It’s not really like a lord. By the way, are you really here to greet someone who will come down soon?”
“okay. didn’t you tell me last time If someone else comes, let me or Shay deal with it from now on.”
“I didn’t expect it and just threw it out, but are you really going to do it?”
“It is true. Even though I am an existence separated from my time, since I am entrusting myself here, it would be proper etiquette to grant your legitimate request.”
After saying that, the vampire put the parasol on his shoulder and looked up.
Hmm. Of course, since vampires are old people, they are sensitive to such manners. If you are a guest, you will try to do your duty.
But is that all?
I read the vampire’s thoughts carefully and smiled.
“Isn’t that the only reason?”
“…Do you doubt my words?”
“Doubt? There must be a corner of that mind. So I felt a presence and came out to meet him. but.”
I have a talent.
A secret story discovered by reading minds. But if it is known that I can read my mind, I will be warned by everyone. There is no one anywhere to welcome me as I stare at my private parts as if pulling back a curtain. Rather, they may take the lead and try to kill me.
So I blossomed a slightly different kind of ability.
“As you know, Tyrkanjaka trainees are vampires, right? His ability to detect blood is at a level that encompasses all of Tantalus. No, it’s a tremendous power that can dominate if it’s not in someone’s body. But in other words, if the blood isn’t flowing out, you can’t capture it perfectly. For example, me or the immortal Rashi trainee.”
What I found out by mind reading is what I hear as if I’ve deduced it.
So I did a little bit of detective work for a while. All kinds of guests came to visit me. They hired me because they wanted to expose someone’s shame.
The most requested request was dealing with an adulterous partner. Hmmm.
“There are probably two cases that such a Tyrkanjaka trainee already knew about the existence of an intruder. Either the falling intruder is bleeding or not.”
The vampire’s expression was calm. But that was just ignoring the truth to come.
I shrugged my shoulders leisurely and told her what I had read in her thoughts.
“-A vampire who is moving with the authority of the founder.”
The existence falling now is a vampire, not anyone else.
A vampire like that came here? It won’t be to avoid the sun. Because there are many shades in the world these days to avoid the sun.
There is only one thing that will attract vampire blood here.
Founder Tirkanjaka. It is clear that he came looking for that mighty blood.
‘I was trying to delay things that would get caught anyway.’
The vampire let out a small sigh and said.
“I have some request.”
“Do not worry. I don’t have prejudice against vampires either. If there was a prejudice in the first place, would you have treated Tyrkanjaka trainees without hesitation? I won’t kill anyone coming down now unless they try to kill me.”
“…it seems to have entered and exited my heart.”
The vampire smiled warmly at my answer, which was like running water.
“thanks. for understanding.”
“What? There’s a vampire I know, and it’s surprisingly worth living with.”
“guy. Nucksal.”
The vampire smiled briefly and brightly, raised his head again, and waited for the vampire who was still falling. A heartwarming ending that even satisfied the vampire’s heart.
However, like all beautiful stories, behind it was a head-shattering hardship and pain.
『What do you decide on your own!』
Out of the vampire’s sight, the golem was pulling my hair underneath my ears. Swallowing the screams that burst out, I stretched out my arm behind me and tore off the golem’s arm.
“Then do I decide? It is decided by the founder.”
『The opponent is the founder. The origin of all vampires, their ruler, and the actual master of the five powers, including the Principality of Red Blood! Are you going to make that meeting happen?』
“No. what to say Then I’m going to stop you? By what power?”
『Come in between me and convince the founder!』
“What?”
『If you can’t do it, just pass on what the main officer says. Even with that alone, the founder will be silent!』
I really am. If it was that important, they would do it. What do you want from a mere laborer?
I grumbled but moved on.
“all right. I’ll try to help out by the side. But just tell me to defeat the vampire. It’s military and whatever, it’ll just throw you in the water.”
“It will be a priority to finish this job well. Unlike you, I am the actual person in charge of this place.”
With the golem hanging over my head, I sneaked up and stood near the vampire. And just like a vampire, he looked up at the sky and waited for the intruder to fall.
Time passed without a hitch. There was no word from the intruder who said he would come down soon, whether it took time to fall or what procedures were needed. Like children waiting for a shooting star, the vampire and I just stared at the sky with our necks out.
As the silence grew longer, a sentimental voice came from under the umbrella.
“In the distant past, it was a pleasure to look up at the sky like this in the middle of the night.”
I also responded appropriately.
“It’s the same. Even today, many people enjoy it.”
“okay. Whether in the past or now, the sky will still be beautiful. The night sky with twinkling stars seems like the Milky Way is flowing. Because only night was the time to see the sky without any restrictions. Then, after the night that seemed to last forever, when the sun god poked his head out over Mother Earth’s arm pillow in the distance, he hid himself under the ground to avoid the blue sunlight.”
what is it all of a sudden
At the sensibility of a 12-year-old girl who would tell a 12-year-old girl to go away, I couldn’t bear to speak and just listened. Fortunately, the vampire didn’t particularly want an answer from me.
The words you spit out in sentimentality are hoping that they will stay in the wind and disappear.
“We just wanted to live, but we had no dignity. I couldn’t raise my head and face the light confidently. Even if they came out and demanded a fair judgment, if it was done in the square at noon, they had to run away. In the end, we survived, but we couldn’t be confident.”
The beginning of vampires and the queen of shadows.
He felt sorry for the dying and raised them up by turning them into vampires, but now he sympathizes with the vampires who were born.
and those feelings.
The guilt that poor parents often harbor towards their children bites the tail after tail.
why was it born
Was it a good thing to give birth to you in this world full of pain?
Was it a blessing or a curse to give the gift of a life in which you have to run away, be chased, and hide?
Wouldn’t it have been better for each other if we hadn’t been born.
Good parents feel guilty for the fact that they felt such pain and suffer from that guilt again. The more you suffer, the more your guilt inflates. Like a fire that devours oneself, emotions are called out in a dark and muddy body. In endless pain, they clamor to avoid falling into the gap between theory and reality.
The feelings of the founder, Tirkanjaka, were now.
The little god, who had created a being called a vampire but was soaked in the sin of creation, suffered with a black parasol in his hand.
“…I thought I would feel a little better if I couldn’t see the sky. So I volunteered to come here. What I really miss here is the sky.”
Then, something twinkles in the abyss where there is no starlight. The periodically flashing indicator lights are getting closer. Such light, which was too artificial to be called a shooting star and did not reach much, came to this place.
It just looked like something was going down.
“You are pitiful.”
And the intruder fell to the ground.
