Kiss-Shot's small right hand—all the way to the wrist—sank into her own skull.
Blood gushed out, quickly evaporating into nothingness.
The golden-haired girl casually stirred her fingers inside her own brain—
Not only did blood flow out, but sothing resembling brain matter also dripped down with a sickening sound.
She had likely accidentally yanked her optic nerve, because her right eyeball suddenly twitched unnaturally, rolling around as if possessed by a demon.
Holy sh*t— Souta struggled to suppress his discomfort and asked, "Kiss-Shot... what the hell are you doing!?"
Kiss-Shot pulled out her now blood-drenched hand and nonchalantly replied:
"I'm demonstrating a way to recover lost mories."
"You don't get it, do you?" she smirked. "We vampires regenerate on a fundantal level. When we forget sothing, we can stir our brains a little—by the ti it heals, the mories usually co back. Try it."
"...."
Souta exhaled deeply, trying to calm his nerves before responding:
"Nah, I'm good. I'd rather just rewatch the series when I get back to my world."
He wasn't about to scramble his own brain.
Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Kiss-Shot reluctantly gave up.
She then returned to indulging in her sweets, fully embracing her role as a shaless little glutton.
Her body truly influenced her ntality.
The two spent their days sleeping and their nights wandering the town together.
Ti passed quickly—
And in just two days—
Kiss-Shot's hunger finally reached its peak.
She couldn't suppress it anymore.
With a hint of regret in her eyes, she let out a soft sigh and looked at Souta:
"My servant... this is probably the last ti I'll call you that."
Her gaze lowered, sadness flickering across her face.
Yet at the sa ti—
She also looked... relieved.
With a gentleness she had never shown before, she murmured:
"These past five days have been the happiest I've had in centuries.
I truly appreciate your company... Will you stay with from now on?"
Her eyes—
Held a rare fragility.
Souta was montarily taken aback but quickly understood.
Without the bond of master and servant, she likely felt insecure—
Afraid of being left alone again.
Souta took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and made sure his expression was as serious as possible.
Then, he said:
"Kiss-Shot, a bond between master and servant is just a 'lock' placed on a connection. But even without that lock, we can reinforce it ourselves—with ropes, or even steel chains."
"I was the one who forced you to live—so of course, I'll take responsibility for that."
Looking into her golden eyes, Souta promised:
"You lived for today—so I'll live alongside you from now on."
"...That was your decision."
Feeling his sincerity, Kiss-Shot's unease gradually faded.
She straightened up, returning to her usual proud deanor.
Then—
With the face of an eight-year-old, she gave a haughty smirk and a cold, piercing gaze:
"If you break that promise... I will personally devour you."
...Wait, wait!
You're NOT supposed to be a yandere character!!
Souta couldn't help but chuckle.
But he still nodded firmly and said:
"Don't worry—I'll keep my word."
[Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade's favorability has reached the required threshold. The host will randomly obtain one of her abilities.]
[Ability is being drawn... Congratulations, Host! You have acquired: Matter Creation!]
Just as Souta finished redeeming the "Undying Body Evolution Card" and handing it over to Kiss-Shot—
A system notification rang in his mind.
Since this wasn't his first ti experiencing this, Souta wasn't too surprised.
But still—
Her favorability reached the required level this quickly?
The two of them had only spent five days together at most.
Girls' emotions really are like a storm—coming without warning.
...Let's just hope they don't disappear just as fast.
"Matter Creation... Am I secretly a luck god? Have I just never realized it when playing gacha gas?"
Souta felt genuinely ecstatic.
He had just expressed his envy for this ability not long ago, and now he had drawn it for himself.
That was crazy!
After all, Kiss-Shot possessed an enormous variety of abilities.
Regeneration, superhuman strength, incredible jumping power—those were just the basics.
Aside from that, she had Shapeshifting—
She could transform into mist, blend into darkness, turn invisible, alter her body at will, and even grow wings to fly.
She could hide in shadows, absorb energy, and freely manipulate her own body weight.
Her gaze alone had physical destructive power—just by staring, she could reduce a concrete wall to dust, much like Karna from the Fate series.
She could even chant incantations to manipulate ti itself, gathering spiritual energy to perform ti travel.
But among all these abilities—
The one Souta envied the most was still Matter Creation.
Because this ability was just too damn convenient!
In essence, it ant he could create whatever he wanted—
...Okay, that might be an exaggeration.
Even though Kiss-Shot had this ability, she couldn't just create an entire city out of nowhere.
And if that was the case for her—
Then Souta was definitely a complete beginner.
Still—
This ability had insane potential for growth!
Right now, Souta had Ti Manipulation and Matter Creation.
If he could eventually gain Space Manipulation and Energy Control—
He might actually be able to create a small world soday.
"I'll test this out later. Right now..."
Souta suppressed his excitent and opened the Task System interface on his phone.
Looking at the "Immortal Body Evolution Opportunity" reward—
He took a deep breath and silently activated it.
"System, use the evolution opportunity."
As soon as he said those words—
Souta felt a strange, fluid-like energy slowly washing over his entire body.
A golden glow radiated from him—
Every single one of his cells was singing with joy.
The scattered power within him was being restructured and refined, rging into one.
All of his flaws—
Were gradually being erased.
His entire body was evolving—
Toward perfection.
This evolution wouldn't grant him raw power boosts, but—
It would make his immortality truly flawless.
At the very least—
He would no longer have the weaknesses of a vampire.
Souta slowly closed his eyes, feeling the transformation taking place inside him.
But then—
A system notification suddenly rang out!
[The Third Friend Invitation has been sent.]
Huh? The invitation got sent this fast?!
Souta was stunned.
The second invitation had taken nearly three months to appear last ti.
"System, how much ti has passed in the real world?"
...Silence.
As expected, the system couldn't be bothered to answer useless questions.
(TN: Comnt here, so if I should continue translating)

Also, begging for votes—monthly votes, recomndations, even knife emojis! I'll take them all, hehe.
