Volu 01, Epilogue
"…I am still alive."
Hisui, lying on the bed, murmured to himself.
He got up from the sick bed, and looked out of the window; it looked like daylight outside.
"Are you awake?"
Looking over, Eruru sat on the chair by the bed, operating a notebook computer.
"Eh…"
"Please say thank you to that…"
Eruru looked at Rushella, who was sleeping by Hisui's bedside.
Looked like she was keeping Hisui company, her face was a bit pallid.
"You are AB/Rh- type, which the Blood Bank doesn't have much in storage, so she decided to donate her blood to you. The two of you are the sa type."
"But…receiving a vampire's blood, you know what will happen right? It is likely you will beco an undead abomination."
"True…we have considered the situation, but she refused to listen…all she wanted was to save your life. Also, [your body] shouldn't have any problems, right? In reality there is no issue?"
"What do you think I am?"
"Your body is interesting, your physical attributes…appears not to be sothing you were born with, how was it changed?"
"I am not sure…"
"The scar on your chest--is that a mark from surgery? Where is your heart from?"
"…………………"
"Blood is source of life, so the organ that regulates blood flow is the one that controls life itself. Thus, against a vampire, striking through the heart with a stake is fatal. The source of your strength…isn't just flowing from that mysterious heart?"
"I don't know…"
"But?"
Holding his chest, Hisui smiled.
"Miraluka paid with her life, to make my heart beat again. To let a heart beat again after it stopped, letting herself turn into ash."
"It is so mysterious. It is disappointing I could not dissect you."
Eruru whispered without any expression. To be honest, she could do sothing that frightening.
"I investigated that Holy Sword of yours, it seem to be a treasure. One could say it is the Bane of all Vampires. The relative who left it with you…"
"It's the Vampire who took care of ."
"Why did she give you sothing like this?…Is it to protect you? And about your physical attributes, is everything for your survival as a human?"
"I think I was an experint. How could vampires coexist with humans--she always considered this question. But even when she succeeded she still died, what was the point?"
Hisui felt crushed by his guilt, balling his fists together.
"Just to save , she didn't have to make things so complicated, all she had to do was suck my blood and turn into a vampire. Then she could have been saved too. The so-called eternity she hated, I could have accompanied her, it would let live with her forever."
In front of Hisui's eyes were his beloved caretaker's final monts.
Bathed in sunlight, turned into ash. In the instant he picked her up, the remaining body was scattered by the wind. No matter how tightly he held on, in the end, he held on to nothing.
Her beautiful face, dark hair, red lips, all vanished as if they never existed.
Couldn't even hold her in my arms.
"That person…didn't turn you into her race. She wanted you to be in your original state. To be human, to live as a human. Am I wrong?"
"What's so good to be a human? Also, I am not a human but a mon…"
"You are a Human."
Eruru answers expressionlessly. Regarding Hisui's question, the girl did not back away from a straight answer this ti.
"You are human, there are no better answers."
"…That is good."
"But sleeping next to you is definitely an authentic vampire--a [TRUE ANCESTOR]. I heard the story from her, it appear Kishida's goal was the powers within her. If that is the case, I am afraid there will be more people targeting her in the future. Extremist factions amongst the vampires might also betray her, even so, you still want to protect her?"
"She will protect herself. Also, I can't believe her to be a [True Ancestor]. The one at my ho should be the last [True Ancestor], Miraluka said so herself."
Hisui's words made Eruru's eyes glow. His body, and the vampire who made him this way, all made her very excited.
"Regarding her losing her mories, I did so investigation. Right now, there are no vampires related to her. She apparently just appeared one day, She may be the first True Ancestor in modern day society. It is so mysterious. Right now all we want to do is observe her."
"…Please be rciful. Also…why not exterminate her? Right now the sun is up, all you have to do is open the window, and she is dood right?"
"Because she is exonerated from the cri. There is no reason to exterminate her, since there is no difference between and her. And cut to the chase, it is only because she committed no cri right now. Even if she sucked your blood, it is not a cri right now. So because she is innocent, we won't take action."
"True True…"
Looking at Hisui staring at her, Eruru gets up and begin to walk away.
"I have to go. Also…"
"Also…?"
"Thank you."
The half vampire's face turned red and left the sickroom. At the sa ti, Rushella woke up.
"You…are you ok?"
"Ah, um…should be…"
Hisui mumbled, and Rushella flipped herself on to the bed, sitting right next to him.
"Really…no problem? It was clear you lost so much blood."
"Eh, why are you worrying so much?"
"Of course, I am worried. You are my property after all."
"……"
"You are not allowed to do anything crazy from now on. After all…you are human."
"I was able to protect the mistress, right?"
"Even if…unacceptable. Protecting is your duty…but…"
"But…?"
"Not allowed to die."
She spat those out, word by word. Her scarlet eyes pierced his.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to die. Even your death belongs to ."
"But I cannot beco a vampire."
"I have not given up! Soday, your body, and your soul, everything will belong to . You will kneel before !"
"Ok Ok…"
Even though he gave a perfunctory reply, but Rushella still ca close with a hug, then brought her eyes to et Hisui's.
"You don't want to?"
It is not like I don't want to… that thought ca unbidden. But Hisui still managed to swallow it down. One cannot just easily stop being human.
Because Rushella refused to move her gaze away, Hisui could only give her a concise and honest answer.
"I will help you, find out who you are… investigate your past; I will definitely help."
"Also have to add my dietary requirent as well. We did agree, right?"
"…Yes yes, ah, but you have to hold your end of the bargain as well, don't suck anyone else's blood."
"I know. I… know what it is like to have your blood sucked out. I can understand."
"…It is so."
"Also, you addressed by na right? Even though you are a servant."
"That…that was forced by the situation."
Hisui wanted to just gloss over the situation, but Rushella did not appear to be angry, but only lightly replied: "I will give you special permission to do so."
"Eh?"
"I will also call you Hisui, No problem?"
"……Yes."
Watching Hisui nod in acceptance, the Vampire smiled faintly, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Then, Hisui."
"What, what are you doing?"
Ignoring the helpless Hisui, Rushella brought her lips close.
The two were in danger of touching each other.
But… her lips did not reach for his, but instead reached for his neck.
A lover's kiss was suppose to aim for the neck and not the lips.
"OUCH!!!! What are you doing so suddenly? I am still recovering from a great ordeal!"
"So what? I am only drinking a little bit! It was my blood anyway! I've been holding back for so long!"
Rushella licked her lips and pushed Kujou down.
Twin eyes blazed scarlet, no one could stop her anymore.
"HEY…DON'T…at least be gentle."
"So noisy, behave yourself!"
Resistance was futile, Hisui thus got pinned to the bed, and had his blood and pleas dissolved into oblivion.
"Hmm…so delicious
