Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"?"

"What kind?"

"That's it..."

"..."

Shinji looked at the little vampire in front of him who suddenly became shy in shock... Good man, he even threw away his moral integrity in order to survive?

"Hey... Hubie, are all the vampires in this world so despicable? Or is this guy just an exception?"

"Hubby, searching for information...search completed."

"According to the description of [Blood-sucking Species] in Article 47 of Chapter 12: [Blood-sucking Species] have outstanding concealment abilities, but are slightly lacking in attack methods. However, they can suck the blood of powerful races and absorb the souls in them to enhance their own abilities..."

"Normally, after a vampire sucks the blood of an elf, the illusion magic it uses can kill people invisibly, and only blood can make them grow... But in fact, all body fluids of living things contain a certain amount of soul, so they can become their food to maintain their deep survival..."

"Although other body fluids besides blood cannot help vampires grow, they still need these to help them use magic when they have to...Among them, male-specific body fluids are the best."

“…This is really…”

After hearing Shubi's introduction, Shinji even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears... No, there really is such an unruly race? What's the difference between this and a succubus?

He originally thought that the other person dressed in that awkward manner just as a personal preference, but it turns out that this is a tradition... It seems that he is too conservative.

After saying that, Shinji turned around and began to look at the creature in front of him that countless men fantasized about. The girl was also frightened by his staring eyes...

[Is this guy going to be angry? After all, he seems to know that this is good for me. He doesn't think I'm lying to him, right? ]

"Um... well... I didn't mean to lie to you. I just hope you can let me go. I can do anything for that..."

"Eh~ Does that mean that whatever I do to you will only benefit you and not harm you?"

"How can it be!"

"As expected, it's useless for a shameless guy like you to stay here. As expected..."

"No! How could you do this!"

Seeing that the other party was about to kill her again, the vampire girl burst into tears:

"Wuwuwu... How can you say that? We... We didn't do this on purpose... We were just wandering around, and when we came across a corpse that wasn't completely dead, we secretly sucked a few sips of blood. Why did we need that..."

"If I hadn't met you two weird guys this time, who would want to be with you... wuwuwu!!!"

Shinji looked at her and suddenly started to break down and cry. He felt a little embarrassed. Actually, he just wanted to scare her...

Shinji then pulled Shubi aside and discussed quietly:

"Hey Hubie, what are the consequences if we let this guy go?"

"Normally... Vampires rarely interact with other races. With their racial talents, they can basically escape from most battles, and no one will go out of their way to cause trouble for them..."

"But there is one thing that is a little strange..."

"What's weird?"

"That's what she just said... In this situation where there is war everywhere, even if the vampires don't fight, they basically have no shortage of food, so most of them have grown into mature women... But as for the other party..."

Huh, Xubi and Shinji looked at the girl who was crying a little softer. She was only about three to five years older than a lolita, but she had nothing to do with a mature lady, especially the not-so-obvious bulge on her chest, which was a far cry from her..."

Now that he had a reason, Shinji felt relieved and walked forward and asked in a questioning tone:

"... Actually, I was going to let you go because you were crying so pitifully, but you actually dared to lie to me... Since you don't plan to cooperate with me, I don't need to abide by the agreement..."

Then he drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist and rubbed it on the other person's face threateningly.

Lilith was obviously frightened, and tears were stuck in her eyes and refused to fall, for fear that the other party would be unhappy and send her away...

As she looked at him in despair, the cruel man actually chopped her with a knife. She closed her eyes tightly in fear and begged him to be more swift before she died. She was really afraid of pain...

"Well……"

"..."

"…Eh? I'm…okay?"

The girl, who had not felt any pain for a long time, carefully opened her eyes and suddenly found that the rope that bound her was gone. Then she heard a "clang" sound and the knife was put back into the sheath...

"You...you...are not going to kill me?"

"…I'll give you one last chance. Tell me your origins clearly and I'll let you go."

"Wha…what's the origin?"

"Still want to lie to me? You look a little different from the others...won't you explain it?"

"Ah? Do you want to tell me this, too..."

Lilith showed a surprised expression, and then began to be shy again...

"?"

What does this mean?

"Well... Actually, I... Actually, I don't dare to suck blood..."

“…Huh? Are you kidding me!?”

You, a vampire, say you don't suck blood. What's the difference between that and a strong sword fan saying he doesn't like women?

However, facing the questioning looks from both Shinji and Shubi, Lilith glanced away somewhat embarrassedly and continued to explain:

"In fact, I didn't have this concern before. I had always been looking for food with a few friends. This kind of life where I could suck blood without doing anything was very beautiful. But until that day... we met a dragon spirit..."

Shinji was shocked when he heard this, and he keenly realized that this matter was not simple...

"Were you attacked by a dragon spirit?"

"Ah, no... that's not the case. That's a dragon spirit with its head hanging off..."

"..."

"We were actually shocked. The corpse of a dragon spirit is so rare that most people may not see one in their lifetime... The huge energy is enough to make people shudder even when seeing a corpse..."

"Oh? What's next?"

After hearing this description, Shinji became somewhat interested, but it seemed that this had little to do with the other party's situation?

"Next... Next is that one of us has a brainwave and wants to taste the blood of the dragon spirit species. Maybe he can become the strongest among the vampire species!"

"But we rejected this dangerous idea, so we decided to just try a little bit and it shouldn't be a problem..."

"so…"

"So... we tried to lick it..."

"and then?"

"And then? There was nothing else... The group of quick-mouthed people were blown to ashes. I escaped because I was younger and ranked later... But that time really scared me. I didn't even dare to suck blood for several months afterwards..."

"But if I don't suck blood, I will die, so later I only dared to suck human blood. After all, those creatures without any [spirit] fluctuations are safe to eat."

"But there are so few humans, and it takes a long time to meet a few, so I can only maintain this attitude."

"Although I am often laughed at, I have to say that this is quite safe. Now I am the oldest among them. The previous ones all died because of their own stupidity. Only I am still alive and well!"

Thinking of this, Lilith raised her chin proudly, but suddenly remembered that she was still a prisoner, so she had to lower her head again.

Shinji finally understood what was going on after hearing this... this blood-sucking species was an extremely unorthodox race...

He can't fight, is good at running away, and has nothing to do in this war context, so he just wants to die.

The girl in front of him is even more of an outlier. She doesn’t dare to suck blood like a vampire. She likes to wander around but cherishes her life very much… Oh, and she is also a stubborn person…

To sum it up... this is a pure fool.

After figuring it all out, Shinji seemed to have been enlightened, and instantly discovered the other party's true nature among many clues.

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes suddenly became much clearer...

……

“…Are you just going to let her go like this?”

"Oh~ I can't help it. I can't bully a fool... And maybe it's because the races I met before were all serious, so I thought there was only calculation and conflict in this world..."

"After all, each [race] is created by its main god, so its characteristics are basically set according to the main god's interests."

"So it was the gods' fault, but a fool like this could survive such a war..."

"In fact... vampires are not stupid. They just have no natural enemies. In addition, they don't have many ideas about the position of the "One God", so they make all kinds of shocking actions..."

"You mean, is there a dumber race?"

"The Sea-dwellers are recognized as idiots by all races."

“It’s true…”

Shinji helplessly held his forehead... It seems that he needs to adjust his stereotypes about this world...
