I Want To Escape From the Vampire’s Blood Bag

24 – promise

It’s like a situation in a cartoon.

Did he even wake up in the face of death?

[Residual Blood: 63]

I unwittingly deployed blood magic.

It is also a newly learned skill, Blood Veil.

– Kwajik!

The translucent wall of blood with a very crude appearance was cracked by two icicles of mana.

Even if it was developed a little late, if I had to spit out the starter word, I would have died.

“……”

The attack did not follow after that.

– Clink.

I disarmed the magic and carefully observed her movements.

The enemy’s eyes twinkle. And she murmurs softly.

“…blood magic?”

Unexpectedly, it feels like he’s showing interest in my magic.

Let’s make a statement first.

And if you remind me that you are on the same demon side and tell me the business, I won’t attack you hastily.

“I am Lee Ha-yu, an attendant of Asfondelga… I just came to get the preparations on my master’s orders.”

“…Asfondel Street. vampire?”

Her voice is calm and slow. It definitely feels like a person in power similar to Lane, but it’s quite different.

“…no wonder. A human servant of Aspondel.”

She closed her eyes as if understanding.

“…That means you’re not a normal human.”

that’s what i’m going to say

How can a person called the princess of the empire become a demon?

I have a lot to ask, but let’s start by letting you know I have no hostility.

“It’s the princess who attacks instead of bowing. I’m just here to run errands.”

“…I was curious. You entered through my own barrier.”

There was no expression on her face as she spoke as if it were natural.

“…I’m the 6th princess, at the academy they call me Iris.”

“Ah yes. Mr. Iris.”

Blonde red eyes, even though it’s a very common cliché, I think I know why this is the standard when I face the real thing.

It’s so luxurious that you can’t tell if it’s hair or a thread made of gold.

In addition, the beautiful crimson eyes, which had never been seen in previous worlds, were gradually changing to emerald green.

“…You, did you see it?”

She points to the top of her head with her small hand.

The horns were hidden.

“That mouth is heavy. We will make sure to keep the secret.”

“…yes. If you can’t keep…”

As she rubs her thumb and forefinger, the fog thickens.

“…I might be able to help.”

“it’s okay! By the way, I also ask for my secret.”

“…?”

She slightly turned her head to express her curiosity.

“The fact that I can use magic…”

“…that’s right.”

It’s an expression that understands something. okay. I feel much weaker, but it’s good to go out shamelessly,

“By the way, no matter how much you say princess, this is the furnishings room of Aspondel Street. I don’t think it’s a bit unusual for you to come in on your own…?”

There’s no sense of rudeness, but if he was going to kill me anyway, he could have killed me a little while ago.

Let’s change the topic as much as possible and ask about Lane’s intention of coming to the furnishings room. Clearly, I am the victim.

She looked around the supply room and opened her mouth slowly.

“… Excuse me. I have something I must tell Arain.”

huh? Are you apologizing like that?

“If you’re going to tell me, tell me and I’ll…”

“…How can I trust you?”

“…!”

It is more frightening that the voice is evenly raised and lowered without a change in expression.

‘I can’t believe it’

Because I’m human Can I understand it in that context?

“…The princess of the Izanac family, Isabella.”

“yes?”

“…She’s aiming for Arain. To tell her about it.”

“What is that…?”

-Ching

As she rubs her fingers, my brain wanders.

“Ugh.”

I feel like my everything is pierced by her.

It is as if he had been thrown in front of her naked and naked.

– Shhh.

And it didn’t take long to get back to normal.

“Huh. Huh.”

“…I don’t think it’s a lie.”

“What… are you talking about?”

“…Isabella is trying to kill Arain.”

“yes?”

“…What you want is to be released from your family, right?”

“How…?”

“…Did you think disassociation would be so easy?”

“Then what is a lie?”

“…no. If you kill the master, the clan will be released.”

crazy. Is it real?

I didn’t think it was that simple.

Somehow, Isabella hadn’t even told me how to disassociate her from her family, but I was just passing it off as my perception of her.

Let’s check if Iris’ words are true…

My brain is confused.

“Then what should I do…”

“…That’s why I’m here to warn you.”

“…will you kill me?”

“…don’t kill me. Instead, um.”

Iris pondered over something and parted her lips.

“Good. I will hand over my authority to you who are in the same situation.”

“Permissions?”

“I want to pass the blame on. I want to get out of this.”

As she rubs her fingers again like sprinkling salt, a note arrives at me.

—-

ring

—-

Is there something in the ring used in the duel?

When I took the note and looked at it, Iris said.

“…This is the note I was trying to deliver to Arain. You decide what to do with it.”

Really, she doesn’t seem to have any regrets. It’s like he just doesn’t want to care anymore.

It came to me step by step.

I felt it even when I saw it from a distance, but the skin texture and appearance are dolls themselves.

I forced my mouth open.

“…Even if I don’t deliver this note to Arain?”

“…yes. I don’t care. Instead, keep your promise.”

– Knocked up.

So Iris left the furnishings room without saying a word.

After she left, the magic fog slowly dissipated.

“……”

-Alchemy basic practice

I noticed Iris in the middle of the practice, but she really didn’t give me a glance as if nothing had happened.

I couldn’t concentrate at all in class. It’s not even my class anyway.

If I go ahead with the duel like this, Rain will definitely participate.

I don’t know why, but Isabella is trying to kill Lane.

If that happens, my family might be disbanded.

Lane dies. i will be free is this correct?

‘It will turn.’

However, if you tell her about this, you may never have another chance.

Before that, I don’t know if Iris’s words should be believed. Is Isabella really trying to kill Lane?

As I looked at Lane and thought about it over and over again, time passed helplessly.

The next class, the trust relationship between knights and servants, for some reason, this class was held in the middle of the night after dinner.

– Prick.

-Tadaktaktak

In the darkness, you can hear the sound of insects and the sound of a bonfire burning.

Professor Agnel Legermond. Even today, she is wearing simple knight’s armor.

“How is it? Has anything changed since the last time you changed your position?”

– Hung-seong-gung-seong.

tell me what to do

Because of this person, last week I felt a threat to my life beyond being different.

– Get down.

Even now, when I think about it, my whole body trembles at the shocking remark. How did you have that courage?

“That is the relationship between a knight and a servant. The status that is shown will definitely be kept as long as the system of this society guarantees it.”

Agnel looked around at us, who had gathered in a circle, and continued.

“However, I cannot be sure that the rules according to that status will be followed even in war or urgent situations.”

She smiled slightly.

“So when adversity strikes you, you can build a relationship of complete trust only by thinking of the person next to you as a colleague and committed to each other. The important thing is, never try to force this by status.”

Everyone was puzzled by the out-of-the-box identity, but I could roughly understand.

Right now, I’m trying to run away, but if I’m on the verge of dying, what does it matter if it’s status or nabal.

Then someone raised their hand and asked a question.

“Professor, then, are you saying that instinct takes precedence over reason in dangerous situations?”

“That’s a good question. It is chivalry to prevent that in advance. Since you are born into nobles, you need to fulfill your noble duties.”

Certainly, the nobles of this world, especially the humans, seem to value noblesse oblige.

“It may be very arduous to practice chivalry alone. I did too. But keep in mind that there are always people around you walking the same path.”

In other words, there is a status system on the outside, but there is a feeling that we should voluntarily cooperate with each other.

I wonder if this is the most ideal master-servant relationship possible in this world.

– Clap.

It’s night and there’s a bonfire, so my sensitivity explodes.

What should I do? Do I need to tell Lane? Why did the princess hand the hilt to me?

If Lane was nice to you… would it change my mind?

“There are many ways to confirm and refine mutual trust. Eating together, sleeping together, sometimes in the same crisis situation, people quickly feel comradeship.”

It reminds me of the memory of being in a chemical room at the training center. It was pretty noisy that night with a rough swinging bridge effect.

“So we are going to camp today. A different bed, a different meal than usual. Wouldn’t it be possible to confirm mutual trust when performing different roles and activities?”

Uh… It’s not the military, so you can’t sleep here?

At times like this, you start looking at Lane.

“……”

Again, Lane’s expression hardened. I guess so. Because I was living a complete girlish life.

It is natural that it would be difficult for wizards to adapt to the classes of knights who are obsessed with chivalry.

But it’s the culture you chose, Lane. Endure it with evil.

“Whoa…”

Lane sighed, tying her hair.

As if she had expected this situation a little bit, fortunately she was wearing more comfortable clothes than usual.

-match!

“Once you’ve confirmed Joe, let’s get started!”

With Professor Agnel’s applause, everyone dispersed from their seats.

.

.

.

– It’s late, so I’m going to sleep first. Be sure to thoroughly manage the bonfire during nighttime!

-Your head should have cooled down enough in a week. The change in role must have made you emotional, but now you can judge more objectively. Look at the bonfire and think.

– growl!

– Koo-ul!

-Article 8-

Knight Roman Disworth

squire john

Knight Daisy Piques

seed carol

Mage Arain S. Asfondel

Servant Hayu

Team 8 consists of two knights, two servants, me and Lane.

And due to the lack of numbers, Eliana, the teaching assistant, decided to help in the middle.

We drew a vigil by lot, and I got the first one.

The knights fell asleep as soon as they said good-bye to dinner, as if such an event was very common.

-……

Everyone went into the tent, leaving me and Rain sitting in front of the campfire.

Reluctantly, I got up from my seat.

“miss. First, stay up all night and sleep soundly until morning. I would like to do it for you, but there is an evaluation.”

“……”

Lane’s turn is second. Standing instead is something I don’t like, but I can’t sleep anyway, so it seemed like it wouldn’t matter if they changed the order.

“Then, when the time is right, wake me up comfortably.”

“Hayu.”

As I was about to enter the tent, Lane called and stopped me.

“Stay with me.”

Could it be that you’re asking me to stay with you because you’re bored of being alone…?

okay. Sleeping for a while will only make you more tired.

– Fluffy.

I sat across the lane with a campfire in between.

– Clap.

“……”

As I indifferently looked at the bonfire, Lane spoke first.

“It was rude at the time. Even thinking about it now.”

If that’s the case, you’re probably talking about last week. I briefly apologized.

“sorry.”

“And on weekends too.”

For some reason, Lane started to bring up things from a few days ago instead of last week.

“It’s rude to go out with Andelson’s girl on your own. I even made a bet on my own.”

“ah. That’s a challenge…”

“It’s rude to ride on top of your master while vampiric. It’s rude to enter the owner’s room. It’s rude to smell like another woman.”

excuse me?

Lane folded her fingers and expressed her sadness at me.

“His greetings to Floria at the restaurant. I told you to eat as much as you want, but eating only meat without any vegetables… everything is rude.”

Hey, it’s too much to eat.

“Still, the work in the airship is…”

She raises her head and looks at me.

It feels like it’s only the two of us, perhaps because it’s dark around.

“I won’t do it anymore.”

“ah…”

These are memories I don’t want to bring back.

While I was thinking about how to answer, Lane said.

“And I will believe you. now.”

believe it Obviously, the princess said not to trust anyone. Will you trust me now?

“You always come back after all, right? no matter how hard You have no choice but to do that.”

Lane concluded me on his own. Not a very good feeling.

Do you want to say that it is also an item of the Aspondell family? Do you have to step on your ego that much to clear your intuition?

Then, the first words she heard came out of her mouth.

“……I won’t treat you carelessly. So, what I want to say is. If I lose the duel, I won’t stay still at my family’s house… so…”

The words are completely mixed up, so I don’t know what I’m trying to convey.

Lane looked the other way and got to the point.

“From now on, don’t try to hide anything from me.”

“……yes.”

I’m pretty good at lying too. It seems that only lies have increased since I came here.

“done. If you have something you want to say, say it.”

“yes?”

“Only today. Because I won’t get angry. If you want anything, just tell me.”

People say that when people suddenly do good things, it’s before they die, or when they notice that I’m going to do a chuno.

Should I tell you Isabella’s plans? So how am I going to be? Do you want to save your life?

I want to check it one last time, just one more time.

I started muttering as if possessed by something.

“Could it be, Mrs. someday…”

Lane turns her gaze towards me.

“?”

I asked her slowly and clearly.

“Someday… can you let me go?”

– Clap.

A bonfire was burning in her red eyes.
