Old Vampire and a Holy Girl

"... what are you?

He was sitting on the couch scraping wood on the table.

If you have time and wood, cutting trees is not such a strange thing to do for a man - this time it was a character with the setting "Spirit of the Guard Protecting the Castle Gate of the King's Capital" called "Bampei-kun".

"An intimately rounded form. But really strong!? Bloodstained Halvard. You can't piss off the souls of the great men who were protecting the royal castle because they're trapped inside the shiny full-play mails, huh?

It was a three-headed, so-called 'so-called character' with such a catch copy.

Men can't remember why they wanted to make this stuff out of wood carvings.

But, well, I'm sure it's because I happen to have it in my head about my eyes when I'm hippocampal.

There is no great reason at last.

So men who hate to be interrupted also interrupted the task of carving clams and 'bampei-kun', allowing them to shift their gaze to newly discovered objects of interest.

The man's gaze is poured on the end of a room filled with gothic dishes.

I wonder how those red eyes would describe...

Red.

It is a perky object, red as the eyes of a man, subtly glowing in the light of an evening sliding through a window.

Sole had fallen to assimilate on a dark wine red carpet.

Cloth, paper - a thin, soft looking sole with stickers of hard material can't really grasp who it is after a long look...

……!?

Men, I thought of it.

I don't know, like that red, thin, hard, sticky cloth...

"Dragon skin......?

I just think so.

If you think of it that way, it looks dragonous, like eyes and bump holes, or a shape that, if spread properly, is going to be that familiar short, neck and tail silhouette of hands and feet.

…………

The man swallowed gokuli and saliva.

I have never been nervous.

Why is there dragon skin in my room? Who wore dragon skins? A family member? Well, has the family finally done it? Then why did you leave that skin in your room? If we put it elsewhere, we might not have discovered the crime.

Various imaginations run through my head.

Men cannot decide what to do in the future.

And I decide to process it as a 'mistake to see', exactly at that moment!

"Vampires! Don't you know my skin!?"

He came in through a pet door set up at the bottom of the entrance to the room.

It looks bright and soft, with a clear body surface, smaller than a puppy, walking on all fours -

- Are you a dragon?

"Yeah, but?

It was a dragon.

Men are confused because of a series of inexplicable events.

What happened to the world in the meantime when I was making wood figures for "Bampei-kun"?

By the man left in the situation comes a dragon that has become a bright white and clear body.

"Hmm, I see, right? You've never seen a dragon peel before?"

"... Oh, you're peeling! I was wondering if you had finally been dealt with by your family..."

"You forbid me from doing this."

"Well, yes, I do."

He says no killing, no kicking out, no harassment.

However, it does not prohibit specific means up to 'no peeling'.

I mean, if it's a setback around here, it's a setback.

Well, a family member wouldn't bother poking at a man's orders.

I'm sure.

"And the dragon, you, it's a lot whiter."

"Because it's freshly peeled. Let's go back to the original redness after one night. How about that, vampire, look at me making progress with peeling, don't you remember the crisis?

"A sense of crisis?... Oh, when you got stronger again, we went back to our original enemies."

"It's not. I'm gonna be cute again."

……

"Even though I'm not interested in cute puppies, I'm step-by-step close to the cuteness that makes me unintentionally fascinated - what do you say, sensible dead old vampires? Don't you remember the crisis?

"No... nothing..."

"Look! My arm! Would you have been a little sloppy? And your body's a little smaller, too. Usually, if you peel, you're supposed to grow this my!" I want to be cuter, "I wish every day, and as a result of my continued efforts, I became smaller by peeling!

The dragon spoke roughly of Hunsfns and his nose.

Men experience cardiac headaches.

"You are... a dragon, are you okay with that? When you get smaller, don't you get weaker? Weren't you spending your time under my shelter to get back to the giant like a mountain once was?

"Vampires, your thoughts are always old"

"And say?

"What's the use of 'giants like mountains' now?

"... no, the... if it's big, it's strong, right? Simply... you know, mass..."

"Look, vampire - its strength, in this day and age, is no longer 'strength'"

……

"Strength is number. He who has many on his side is the winner. Behavior The strength of one number of influences becomes strong as it is. I mean, strength is public opinion."

"Sorry, it makes sense..."

"Let's say you were walking through the city and witnessed a scene where vampires and huge dragons were fighting like mountains"

"... well, it's not quite the sight I see... so?

"What do you think of those who witnessed that battle? You'd think 'monsters are fighting each other'?

"Um, I guess so."

"And then. Witnesses, vampires, dragons, and neither of them can initiate action to defeat them. Then we'll have three more. Whether the dragon wins, the vampire wins, or the side you witnessed - mankind wins. There will be no end to the battle until the other factions are destroyed."

I think so.

"But what do you think if you witnessed a scene where vampires and fairies were fighting?

"I don't think it will be long enough for witnesses to come out..."

"Suppose it's prolonged. Witnesses don't think they'll cut vampires off as' evil 'and take the fairy's side?

"Well, I don't think so."

"That's it."

"Which one?"

"I mean - the little ones on the body are easy to keep public opinion on their side."

…………

"It seems that you really think of the aim of my 'cute' as a 'temporary policy until my body grows bigger' - in fact, no. I'm getting cuter and cuter over and over again."

"No..."

"You don't have to take back my mass. The age of confronting mighty enemies but seeking only the strength of the individual was over... no, it was over by the way. By the time the dragons were extinct, Ningen had already remembered" cooperative play. "

……

"Then wise I shall go further. For that reason, cuteness is a necessary 'force'."

"What's further ahead of 'cooperative play'?

"Let's settle for 'Princess Play'"

"…………… incomprehensible"

"Just being there is adorable and exhausting. Even if you don't do anything for yourself, just show your willingness to" like "or" dislike, "and the" like "will be given away and the" dislike "will be eliminated - it's the strongest tactic."

"Ugh, um..."

"And to exercise this tactic, 'cute' is the absolute first condition... so I get cute every time I peel. Not for hundreds of years. Thousands, tens of thousands of years...... Until then when the world is over I will continue to be cute...... yes, it's all for 'Princess Play'......!

By the way, the fact that the voice of the dragon calling out 'Princess Play' earlier is a thick, low, level of bass squeamish that your ears bother with every time you are spoken will have to be particularly emphasized.

Wouldn't that be the case with voices so far removed from the impression of 'princess' - men feel that way?

"But this time, the increase in cuteness caused by my peeling is not easy..."

"I don't think I can tell the difference unless I'm a bastard...... well, the color is white, but will it go back red tomorrow?

"Color doesn't matter. Look at these snuggly tight legs......! Slim torso with creases!

"Hmmm... I'm not sure because I'm not a maniac..."

"If you keep getting cute at this pace, you'll be a pretty girl around next year"

"Right. Good luck.... so you were looking for your own peeled skin?

"Oh, you did. Why are you in a place like this...... oh well. But I was so upset that I took it off in this corner."

"Next time, don't peel me in my room, please"

"Desquamation is due to physiological phenomena... I can't make a promise, but I'll take it into account."

"... so what do you do with that skin?

"Want some?

"............... right"

"Mm-hmm. Bye. While my body is white, I'm soft and sensitive everywhere, so I'm pulling into my room today."

"Right."

The dragon, retrieving the skin, left with a nutta nutta and footsteps.

One remaining man returns to the task of carving 'Bampei-kun'.

He often dropped wood scraps on a cloth spread over a table with a sculpture knife.

"... you eat, skin"

Blurring, he snapped with an emotionless voice, and went back to work silently again.

Do you eat, skin?
