Dress up as Dior sister and awaken your substitute at the beginning

That day, Dio followed Mia into Qibelin's room and saw many scraps of paper on the ground. He picked up a few pieces and found that they were too torn and the contents could not be seen.

He took advantage of Mia's beating of Jones and quickly searched for it. Maybe it was because he was lucky and found two relatively complete pieces of paper.

A mudslide hit from behind, Mia swallowed everyone up, and the information got caught in Johnny's coat in the chaos.

Johnny found the information while changing clothes and returned them to Dio.

There are two pieces of information, covering different contents.

One of them talks about a stone mask called "Stone Ghost Mask".

The document shows what a mask looks like——

The human face mask carved from gray stone is full of cracks and has two fangs on its mouth, which is eerie and terrifying.

It comes from Mexico and was excavated from an ancient ruins. When humans wear it, they can turn into vampires.

The data only has this information. They didn't know the name of that relic, the reason why humans could use it to turn into vampires, etc.

After saying that, Dio went to the study to get some information.

After turning into a little bear, Mia's body seemed to be less thick-skinned and fleshy than before, and she actually felt cold in winter. She moved towards the fireplace, squinting her eyes to enjoy the warm flames.

Dio came back with a piece of paper, and when he saw Mia sitting by the fireplace to keep warm, he couldn't help but feel that she was a bit like a kitten - a kitten that got closer and closer to the fire to keep warm, and finally burned herself to death. Silly and cute.

He pinched the back of Mia's neck and moved her a little further away, keeping a safe distance from the flames: "Cold?"

Mia opened her arms towards Dio: "If you hug me, I won't be cold anymore."

Dio stared at her for a few seconds, then took out a thin blanket from the closet and covered her.

The human blanket was too big for the little bear. She grabbed the edge of the blanket and pulled it up, covering herself only a little before she was able to completely cover herself.

Mia pouted: "You are so stingy, you are not even willing to give me a hug."

Dio rolled his eyes at her: "You're so disgusting, I don't want to hug you."

"Excessive! Disgusting!" The little bear slapped the blanket angrily, but judging from the slight slapping sound, it was obviously not very powerful.

I have to say that Dior liked Mia's way of "seeing him unhappy but unable to do anything about him". He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh! You bastard!" The little bear was about to explode with anger. In a rage, he got angry and got into the blanket to sulk.

Dio suppressed his laughter, sat on the ground, and stroked the round bear head through the blanket: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh."

Mia has been as healthy as a wild boar since she was a child. Dior suspected that if the food at home was not so bad, she would definitely look like a Japanese sumo wrestler.

Therefore, poor Dio has never been able to defeat Mia since he was a kid.

Although Mia's character is dull and silly, she is very tolerant to him, but if she really gets angry, he will get beaten. How could he be able to bully her as he pleased now?

However, as funny as it is, Dio is still worried about Mia's current situation.

He lifted the blanket and dug out the little bear: "What happened to your little bear form? Can you change it back? Are there any bad effects?"

Mia blinked: "It took me so long to wake up, and I seem to understand why it turned out like this."

"Tell me." Dio covered her with a blanket.

Mia hugged the blanket, moved to Dior, and leaned against him: "The bear form is equivalent to the power saving mode of a mobile phone."

Touching Dior's confused eyes, Mia scratched her head and explained: "It's like animals hibernating, saving energy by reducing consumption."

Dio suddenly realized: "So you became like this because you turned into a giant bear that day?"

Mia nodded and said: "It consumes too much energy to transform into a giant bear form, and my body can't bear it. If I transform back into a human directly, I will most likely die suddenly, so I shrunk into a little bear to save my life. When the energy is restored, I can Become a human again.”

Dio's eyes flashed: "How long will it take for you to recover?"

Whether it's vampires or ghoul streets, they are all under threat. Mia is the strongest among them, and without her, their chances of winning are slim.

Mia tilted her head, thought for a long time, shook her head and said: "I don't know..."

Dio frowned: "Okay. It's really useless."

"Hey, why am I useless!"

Mia put her paws on her hips.

"The life-saving feature of the bear form is not only useful when transforming into a giant bear. If I am fatally injured, I can survive by transforming into a bear!"

The problem of turning into a bear is not difficult to solve. Just rest for a few more days. It is better to die. Mia still likes this new ability.

Moreover, when she was swallowed by the mudslide that day, she vaguely remembered that she seemed to be stuck with something mysterious to protect herself. However, now she can no longer find that feeling, nor can she use it.

In addition to these, her substitute should have other abilities.

Mia feels that Crown of Thorns still has many secrets waiting for her to explore...

Dio sneered: "How serious a fatal injury?"

Mia was stunned for a moment, then lowered her hands on her hips: "I don't know."

Dio's eyes became more and more contemptuous: "It can cause you to be fatally injured. The situation must be very dangerous at that time. If you become a bear, you will have no fighting power. How can you escape from there?"

"This, this..." Mia lowered her head and rubbed her hands in embarrassment.

Dio's expression was cold, like a layer of frost: "It says it can save your life, but it only gives you a small chance of survival. Don't get carried away, idiot."

Mia's eyes lit up and she smiled widely: "Thank you! Dio, you are so kind~"

"What?" Dio was stunned, and there were several cracks in his cold expression.

Damn it, couldn't she hear the sarcasm? How can he have the same moral character as Johnny?

"You care about me so much. You reminded me to pay attention to my safety. I love you the most~" With bright black eyes, Mia hugged Dior's arm and shook it, and pink flowers seemed to be blooming around it.

Shit, this thing can move itself, it’s even more disgusting than Johnny!

Dio's whole body was stiff, and his cold expression was shattered to pieces, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"My dear, you are so cute when you have a hard mouth but a soft heart." Mia took it one step further, climbed onto Dio's lap, hugged his waist and rubbed against him.

Is he soft-spoken and soft-hearted?

How could he be so hard-spoken but soft-hearted! His heart is harder than diamond!

Dio's face turned red visibly, like a ripe tomato. He didn't know whether he was shy or angry.

Seeing this, Mia smiled even more happily, and the corners of her mouth almost flew to the sky.

Dior doesn’t resist = Dior likes her more

Great!

"and many more……"

Dio came to his senses and pushed her away as if he was being burned.

"You haven't said whether there are any side effects."

"No little bear, but the stand-in told me something strange that day." Mia thought for a while and recounted the scene when the stand-in gave her the ability to transform into a giant bear.

"Miracles are not free. If you pray for hope, you will also spread the same despair. As a price, it takes away part of you as a 'human being'..." Dio's face changed slightly, and there was obvious worry in his eyes. .

Mia sighed: "I don't know what it took away, but I don't feel any discomfort now."

Dio pondered for a moment and took the initiative to hug her: "It's okay, it's your substitute and won't hurt you. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately, okay?"

Mia understood that Dio was just comforting her. The substitute took "something" as a price, how could it be okay?

However, Mia was extremely helpful to Tsundere's concern and immediately put aside her small worries.

She hugged Dior tightly, sucking and sniffing him like a cat. Dior was a bit of a germaphobe. Even in the winter in the slums, he would take a bath once a day. Unlike the boys around him who smelled like sweat, he always smelled good.

Mia showed an expression like a cat encountering catnip: "Brother, you smell so good."

Hey!

There is a perversion!

Dio's cheeks were hot and his whole body was hairy. He immediately grabbed Mia and threw her back to the ground.

Mia climbed up smoothly: "Cuddle me for a while~"

Seeing that the pervert was about to get involved with him, Dio hurriedly gave Mia the information on Stone Ghost Face: "This is a copy of the information. The original was wetted with the mucus in your stomach and became very blurry. I made a clear copy."

"Sorry..." Mia froze for a moment, smiled, took the paper, which was larger than her, and looked at it carefully for a moment, "Wow, this mask is a bit scary."

With a slight smile on his lips, Dio pointed at the Stone Ghost Face's information.

"Besides being scary? What do you think of it?"
