With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 94- New identity~2
Hot.
Everything feels hot and comfortable.
My body was in flames yet these flames were so cozy and compatible that I felt staying within the confines of this sensation for the rest of my life wouldn’t pose a problem.
I like this.
What was the last thing I did before falling into this state?
…I was with Maya and fought against some people who were against my successorship. And then….someone…something.
“Haaah!” I gasped aloud and my eyes parted wide.
I was still feeling the warm sensation and my body was coated in a thin layer of sweat.
I looked around the place and the memories of what happened before I fainted, rained down my mind. I remember every single thing, that forced me to fall unconscious.
…that woman…she sucked my blood….and cast a spell that made me suck her blood as well!
‘What in the world…did I do? Why was I feeling so ecstatic while ingesting someone else’s blood? Why…that felt so satisfying?” I couldn’t help but press my fingers against my dry lips.
“Oh, you are awake.” My eyes instantly turned toward the source of the voice from where the same woman—about whom I was thinking—was walking in.
She was holding a coffee cup in her hand and unlike before she was only wearing a thin night dress that reached a little above her knees.
For some reason, looking at her didn’t cause me to erupt in anger and attack her right away. However, I certainly was agitated.
“What did you do to me?” Everything I was suspicious of and the question I was asking to myself, can only be unraveled by her—the person who has awakened this strange tendency in me.
The woman made her way to the bed placed the cub on the nightstand beside the bed and sat down. My body, unsurprisingly, remained stiff and immovable. However, slowly I was regaining control. That’s why in front of her I am trying to not show any sign of movement, or who knows what this lunatic might end up doing next to keep me here.
“You are way too wary for someone who sucked almost my life away some hours ago.”
“That would have been wonderful,” I responded without my expression shifting. If I’d have been sucking on her blood consciously, then surely she would have been dead by now.
However, how eerie as it may sound, at that moment I wasn’t being myself. It was all instinctual.
“Wonderful you say….but don’t you crave me? As your first blood bond, you surely will feel the thirst to have me again~” She was so confident in her statement that for a moment I had to question myself.
However, I soon shook my head and asked her, “What are you? And what is this blood bond? Can you stop beating around and answer me straightforwardly?”
I was now getting frustrated by this mysterious awakening I had. The way I lost control of my body previously was unnerving. The sensation I felt and currently still was feeling, was making me crave her blood. And a part of my mind was prepared to get addicted to this.
And that’s what made me uncomfortable and anxious, the most.
“I think you must have figured out, what am I. But still, for confirmation, I am a pure-blood vampire. And despite how old I look, I am only forty-six.”
I had a blank expression on my face. Only forty-six?
Well, considering the tales I have heard, vampires live for a long time, then she might be young from their point of view.
Regardless, the concept of facing a non-human, who can speak and act like a human was disturbing. All those dungeon dwellers I have faced or seen in documentaries are literally just…. monsters. Some of them crawl, some fly and some slither. But this one…
“And why did you bite me? Why did I suck on your blood?”
Initially, my concern lay to know the reason for which I was kidnapped. But now, I was more curious about discerning her origin and…mine.
I am messed up.
“You are asking so many questions….haah. Well, let’s start with you.” She turned toward me and sat cross-legged.
She helped me to get up and sit while resting my back on the headboard.
…I feel like I am a paralyzed patient and she is nursing me. Guh, I don’t want Shio and Maya to see me like this.
“Then, what do you remember? Have you uncloked any memories, now that you have awakened your origin?”
I (mentally) tilted my head, “I don’t know what you are talking about about. I know I did something pretty weird, but what memories? I know who I am and where I came from.”
She sounds like I am not myself but some reincarnation of an ancient being. Although it sounds cool, it feels weird as hell.
The woman sighed before she asked, “Have you ever wondered why your father still looks the same even though he should be over forty by now?”
My brows rose, “Is he a vampire as well?”
She nodded.
I pondered for a moment before asking, “So I am a vampire as well?”
“Yes…but not completely. And no, you aren’t the son of the person whom you consider your father.”
“I have no such person whom I call my father.”
I stopped regarding Kurkoawa Yuiichi my father a long time ago, so everything I said was true.
“Right…so, for starters let me tell you about your origin and who you originally are. The reason why the ancient noble houses of Vampires are after you, with their varying motives, and why you are such an important figure to our world.”
I gulped before nodding. For some reason, I was both curious and nervous to hear what she had to say.
All my life, for the past sixteen years, I have lived mostly like a loser, and recently received the strength to protect those who are close to me. And now, this woman has awakened something weird in me.
I have a feeling that after hearing her story I wouldn’t be able to return to my previous life.
Oh god, this is so bad at so many levels…
