"Ha... ha!?

With a louder voice than I thought, I hurriedly pressed my mouth.

Blood? Really?

I glanced at Kuro's face, but I don't think he's joking because of his expression.

Blood is such a thing.

"It's just this time... I don't know if it's a bit of a pseudo-state anymore. I'm sorry it's been a while, but you might have to help me."

Long time no see.

Usually, when Kuro is in contact with people, he lives under the guise of being a vampire by pretending to be human.

Even if you don't fake it, the shape is very similar to people, so ordinary people won't find out, but there is a risk that people like magicians and other eyewitnesses will find out.

But vampires aren't afraid to be found.

Then why dare you hide?

The answer is simple. For them, human beings are not worthy of friendship, nor do they find hostile threats.

If they are not a threat to themselves and they are not willing to build friendship, they will not bother to make things rough. In a sense, this situation can be said to be a state of concession by vampires to humans (which is why the cloud that wants to get involved with me is an anomaly in the anomaly).

Humans are only inferior species to them.

It is easy (at least they think) to destroy all humans, but it does not make sense. It's the strongest, but it doesn't even recognize humans as enemies.

Vampires are almost impossible to kill, even if they were super top sorcerers a thousand years ago, or if they managed to defeat them.

A handful of them hide themselves from the beginning, bypass as superiors, and have nothing to do with humans, as long as they are troubled enough to kill every time they are found hostile. It's that kind of race (although some weirdos rarely blend into human society like black).

The values of powerful and long-lived organisms are far removed from humans.

Such a vampire has a state of awakening other than his usual appearance.

The appearance of awakening is quite unusual and emits an obviously creepy atmosphere, so you won't wake up unless it's rare.

Vampires that are awake are the strongest. Vampire combat mode, to put it another way. On the other hand, the overwhelming performance of being a vampire in a pseudo-state is lurking. Of course, even in a pseudo-state, it's not the level to defeat ordinary people.

Vampires are not creatures that die without human blood.

Even the blood of animals and fish is no obstacle to sustaining life activities. Therefore, the image of aggressively attacking humans and sucking blood is very different from their original form.

Of course, there is nothing weak in the sun, nor in the cross.

When a vampire who is not actively collecting human blood and is supposed to be the most powerful creature even in a pseudo-state seeks human (my) blood, it is only when it becomes awake.

Vampires awaken when they consume human blood.

Such a vampire wants my blood.

- That means you need to be awake, and you need to fight more than a vampire.

That's why it's like a demon.

Thousands of years ago, I gave Black blood only once. The demand for blood since then... that's why it's been a long time.

"... is there someone you can't defeat unless you wake up?"

"Well, that's the thing. They're the same vampires."

"Families!? What do you mean, vampires are forming a community now? How dare you kill a fellow man!?

"Well, don't rush, Gil. Let's talk about the details later. --I still have a little work to do. It's coming out... I'll tell you more at my current place when I'm done with my work."

"It's a long time..."

Then Kuro smiled.

"That's why I'm telling you. I'm gathering information. I don't know how to do it right now. --Let's go to my tavern! I'll serve you for a while."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Welcome!!"

Flip the skirt over and Kuro greets the customer with a smile on his face.

It's a Norinori. It's a black one.

The audience is truly diverse and crowded with ordinary sailor-style guests, town people, and obviously criminal smells.

Kuro smiles inside and carries alcohol and acts like a guest.

"Gehaha! You're still cute today, sis!

A dirty little man on his beard touched Kuro's hand and shouted.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"No, thank you ~!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I accidentally eject the water that I was drinking in response to a messy reaction.

"Hey!! Get on my boat, sister! I have the money."

The men around me also laughed vulgarly.

Wow, I'll think about it.

Obviously a lip service, but if you don't know it, the men laugh upwards and order extra alcohol.

This is how you make money.

Other customers often get tangled up, and Black responds with a smile.

With this much contact with the customer, that would gather a lot of information.

Apparently, the sign girl is not a lie.

After working for a while, Kuro shows up in front of me.

"Customer, additional water is a service"

So I put a jock full of water on the table.

"I'd like alcohol for service anyway."

"Ahahah, since I was an adult ~ student"

"Chi..."

It is only inconvenient for students to be unable to drink alcohol.

Kuro sits in front of me.

"You seem to be doing a pretty good job."

"Isn't it? I've had a lot of different experiences and had no more time to do, but it's really fun to be able to experience it for the first time here. It was pretty good, wasn't it?

Dear, you're wearing such a cat

"Excuse me. Tell me you're playing a waitress. Thanks to that, I'm getting a lot of information."

I suppose...

If I didn't know the contents of Kuro, I might have enjoyed it a little more.

"It's disgusting when Kuro does it."

"It lit me up. It's not honest at all ~"

That's how Kuro strokes my head.

"No, no, no! Let's go home. It's over, isn't it?

"Oh, that's right. Let's go home."

The sun had already begun to tilt when I left the tavern.

The orange sun that reflects on the surface of the water makes me sad.

We'll walk along the coastal road for a while and go out onto the main street.

The street is lined with stalls and crowded with people.

Escaping from the main street to a narrower sidewalk, there was a fairly old bungalow just up the hill.

"Here it is."

"Hey, do you have a home?

"It was the house of my vampire buddies that led me here this time."

"Was it...?

Kuro opens the lock and the door.

He's dead. He's dead.

"Vampires are dead?!
