Chapter 113
“You're telling
to drink your blood?”
“Then whose did you think you'd drink besides mine?”
“I wasn’t planning on drinking anyone’s blood to begin with. More than that… you an right now?”
“Yeah, right now.”
Lisa brought her bare shoulder and the nape of her neck closer to .
“If you want to use Blood Energy, you have to drink blood.”
“I know that, but drinking it right now is…….”
“I’ll teach you how to use Blood Energy. I want to teach you right this mont.”
“Uh… are you sure it’s okay to do this in the Disciplinary Committee Room?”
“It’s fine. It’d be dangerous if you lost control of your Blood Energy, but you don’t have the strength for that yet.”
Lisa lay down on the sofa in the Disciplinary Committee Room.
Then she pulled
down and made
lie on top of her.
“So hurry up and drink. You have to drink first for us to start.”
“You really want to teach
that much, Noona?”
“…You haven’t been paying much attention to
these days.”
Lisa pulled
even closer.
Our faces grew so close our noses nearly touched.
“Pay attention to
too, Gideon. No… can’t you pay attention only to ?”
“You said you want
to succeed. If I focus only on you… wouldn’t that be a bit hard?”
“…You’re not wrong.”
Lisa looked up at
with a slightly dissatisfied gaze.
Then she leaned up and gave
a small kiss on the lips.
“People’s hearts are… really complicated. If you want to succeed, then just like you said, it’s right to focus on many things. But… at the sa ti, I want you to focus only on .”
“Have I been too indifferent to you lately?”
“It’s not that you’ve been indifferent… it’s more like, after you started learning magic, the amount of ti you spend focused only on
got a bit shorter. Honestly, this right now is just…
sulking. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just whining like a child. Telling you to look at .”
Lisa looked away, cheeks lightly flushed.
I let out a faint chuckle and lowered my head.
Then I gently bit Lisa’s shoulder.
“Uht? Gideon?”
“What? You told
to drink.”
I spoke with a sly smile.
“Just for today and tomorrow, I’ll focus only on you, so you better teach
well, okay?”
“…Fufu. I’ll take good care of you. Well then…….”
“Yeah, I know.”
I bit her shoulder again.
This ti, I bit down harder, intending to draw blood.
But her shoulder didn’t receive so much as a scratch.
Lisa didn’t even flinch in pain.
“Hmm, Gideon?”
“…Noona, how am I supposed to bite you?”
“If you just bite really hard… Actually, no. That won’t work. A normal human’s teeth can’t easily injure my skin.”
Lisa nodded in understanding.
Then she sat up and reached for my sword nearby.
“Let
borrow this for a mont.”
She drew the sword and casually sliced her own palm.
“I wanted you to understand what it feels like for
when I bite your neck, but… I guess that’s too hard. It can’t be helped, we’ll do it this way.”
With a slightly disappointed expression, Lisa extended her bleeding palm toward .
“Drink.”
“…I just drink it like this?”
“Yes, just drink. Hurry.”
Blood stread down her palm.
I hesitated for a mont, but then brought my lips to her palm.
“…Ugh.”
A tallic tang spread through my mouth.
It was the first ti I tasted soone else’s blood.
And when I tried to swallow it, a faint sense of rejection rose up.
But only the first swallow was difficult—after that, I adapted surprisingly quickly.
It beca easier to drink Lisa’s blood.
“Mm? Mmm.”
At first, it definitely tasted tallic.
But the more I drank, the more the taste changed.
For so reason, Lisa’s blood started to taste… sweet.
“…Ah.”
Before I realized it, I was drinking Lisa’s blood absentmindedly.
It wasn’t just because it tasted good.
There was sothing—sothing indescribable.
If I had to put it into words… instinct.
My instinct drove
to keep drinking.
My body really has changed, huh.
I began to vaguely understand why Lisa kept wanting to drink my blood.
It wasn’t about thirst, or taste.
The body—instinct—craved blood.
And each ti the blood slid down my throat, sothing like a strange pleasure rippled through .
“Haa… ha. Hoo…”
I kept licking the wound on Lisa’s palm, drinking her blood.
Like sucking on candy, like a beast devouring sothing precious.
My rationality slipped for a mont, and I surrendered to instinct.
A few minutes later—
“…Hmm?”
As my mind cleared, I startled myself.
It truly felt as if my instincts had taken hold of my body for that mont.
Quickly regaining composure, I pulled my lips away from Lisa’s hand.
“Sorry, Noona. I think I lost my senses just now……”
“Heheheee.”
“…Noona?”
Her strange reaction made
look carefully at her face.
Lisa was smiling.
A deeply happy, lting kind of smile.
More accurately, a smile overflowing with bliss.
And from her eyes… her blue pupils were tinged with red.
That faint red steadily deepened.
I let out a dry laugh.
I could already see what was going to happen next.
“Noona.”
This ti I loosened the top button of my shirt.
“You’re thirsty, right?”
“…….”
As I exposed my neck and shoulder, Lisa stared blankly for a short mont.
Then she pushed
down onto the sofa and straddled .
“Gideon, you… you’re mine. Don’t even think about offering your body to anyone else.”
“…Yeah. I belong to you, Noona.”
“Haa… You’re really… so beautiful.”
Then, like always, Lisa bit into my neck and began drinking my blood.
…No, not like always.
She drank longer, and more than usual.
* * *
“Gi-Gideon? You’re okay, right?”
“I’m fine. Of course… I an, I’m a little—no, quite a bit dizzy, but still.”
“S-sorry…”
Lisa fidgeted anxiously, truly looking remorseful.
I watched Lisa from where I lay on the sofa.
Her appearance was so cute in so many ways that I couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course, that didn’t change the fact that I was still dizzy.
‘Just as I expected… she drank way too much.’
It seed as if so kind of switch inside Lisa had been flipped—she drank much more of my blood than usual.
And she had been far more aggressive than usual, too.
“…I’ll get you a new shirt for the one I tore.”
“It’s fine. It’s the school uniform, so I can just ask the teacher for another one…”
“No. I’ll get it. You don’t have to bother moving around.”
While drinking my blood earlier, Lisa had completely shredded my uniform shirt.
Thanks to that, I was sitting there with my tattered shirt half-off, practically bare-chested.
“Umm.”
Lisa averted her eyes from my upper body, looking both embarrassed and sorry at the sa ti.
Of course, that didn’t an she wasn’t looking at all.
Her cheeks flushed red, and she kept sneaking glances at .
I grinned playfully.
“Noona, you seed really excited when you were ripping my clothes earlier. Have you always wanted to do that?”
“N-no, that’s not it…”
“Did you just really want to see
half-naked?”
“……”
Lisa’s face turned as red as it could possibly get.
I pulled her closer to .
Then I gently forced her wandering gaze to et mine.
“Noona, you said you wanted
to pay attention to you. So why do you keep looking away?”
“Uh? Ah? I-I just…”
Her usual expressionless face had long since disappeared.
Lisa looked so flustered that she couldn’t even speak properly.
I enjoyed the sight to the fullest.
It wasn’t sothing I got to see often, after all.
As I kept teasing her—
“G-Gideon.”
“Yeah?”
“If you want… you can undress .”
“…What?”
“If you want to see
without clothes… I don’t mind.”
This ti, it was my turn to be shocked.
I looked at her with wide eyes, and unlike before, she didn’t avoid my gaze.
Her face was bright red, but her expression was firm.
“Hm…”
Her boldness caught
completely off guard.
But soon enough, I chuckled softly and leaned in to lightly bite her neck.
“Ah? Gideon?”
“Noona, what are you saying in the Disciplinary Committee Room?”
“…Huh?”
“You know we can’t do indecent things in the holy Academy.”
“What? But you’re the one who—”
Lisa looked at
with a betrayed expression.
But I only smiled mischievously.
“I’m just a mber, but you’re the Head of the Committee. That’s a huge difference.”
“What kind of logic is that?”
“It’s not logic at all. I’m just teasing you.”
I gave her cheek a light kiss and wrapped an arm around her waist.
“So, are you saying that if I wanted, I could tear your clothes too?”
“Y-yeah. If you want to.”
“Noona, of course I want to. But this isn’t the right place or ti.”
“…Yeah, you’re right.”
Lisa answered with a slightly disappointed tone, and I let out a dry laugh.
“What? You sound disappointed.”
“Yeah, I am.”
As expected of soone who couldn’t lie, Lisa answered honestly.
I smiled again and nibbled her neck once more.
“Tearing your clothes will have to wait. But if you want to tear mine again, go ahead. When a noble lady of a ducal house gives an order like that, a fallen noble like
has no choice but to obey—”
“D-don’t say it like that.”
Lisa pouted, sounding both embarrassed and annoyed.
“It sounds weird when you say it that way.”
“Alright, alright, Noona. Anyway, enough of that… since you’ve had my blood, can you teach
how to use Blood Energy now?”
“Are you sure? You said you were dizzy from losing too much blood.”
“I’m feeling better now.”
“Really? Then…”
Lisa studied
for a mont, then stood up.
“How to use Blood Energy… But didn’t you already manifest it during the midterm exam?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“Do you still rember how it felt back then?”
“I do. But when I tried it again recently, it didn’t work at all…”
“It’ll work now.”
Lisa’s voice was full of confidence.
“The reason you couldn’t use Blood Energy before was because you hadn’t drunk any blood. From what I’ve read, blood from another being acts like fuel. Since you hadn’t drunk any since then, your tank was empty.”
“So now that I’ve had your blood…”
“The fuel’s refilled. Try it now. Just like you did the first ti—it’ll work for sure.”
“In that case…”
I closed my eyes and focused.
During the midterms—Dave Bonscora.
He was the one I first used Blood Energy against.
I recalled that mont—the power, the surge that had rushed through .
‘Last ti I tried, it didn’t work at all. It felt like sothing was forcibly stopped… but now…’
Lisa’s description of “fuel” was surprisingly accurate.
As her blood flowed into , the stagnant power began to move again throughout my body.
Feeling it stir, I quickly raised my sword.
Then I sliced my palm and let blood drip onto the blade…
“…It’s easier than I thought.”
A red aura appeared around my arm and sword.
Lisa nodded in satisfaction.
“The first ti is always the hardest. Once you get the feel of it, it’s easy afterward.”
She stepped closer.
“But manifesting Blood Energy and using it are two different things. I’ll teach you how to wield it properly from now on, so don’t get distracted and focus only on—”
“Noona.”
“Yeah?”
“I told you earlier. I only have eyes for you.”
“……”
At my sly remark, Lisa fell silent.
She stared at
with her blank face for a few seconds.
Then, suddenly, her lips t mine.
