She Returned as a Vampire - She Returned as a Vampire chapter 31

31 – An Accident That Couldn’t Be Done

“I can see what happens when you put two blood relatives in the same place, Mr. Yuri. I’m sorry. There’s…”

I tried to get more information from him while I barely got out of their arms and found a moment to catch my breath between the two men in the same situation.

I tried to apologize for being too wary of him.

“Aren’t you used to it yet? Well, that’s okay too. It’s rather nice to look at. Isn’t it fresh?”

He took something wrapped in cloth from his bag and spread it out in front of me.

“It’s cold, but it’s a boiled potato. You’re going to be carrying it around a lot from now on. How about beans? Jerky, too.”

…I wonder if the things in the bag were food.

Even as he pulled out another bundle, he spread his hand and expressed his intention to decline.

“I wonder if this will be enough, thank you, but-“

“What do you mean? This is mine. This is yours.”

The thought stopped for a moment when he handed it over to me in its entirety, but my head started spinning again.

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes?”

“It sounds delicious, but I’ll eat it!”

Tossing a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and taking a big bite of the potato, he happily chewed his cheek full of food and let out a long breath through his nose.

“Uhhhhh. This is it. Yes. Yes!”

I wonder if he can make such a happy face when he is simply chewing on a cold potato and a piece of beef jerky.

“You can really eat – “

“Eat – kek. Sleep, cool, cool!”

I took a bite of a potato so ignorantly, but of course my throat would choke.

He hurriedly reached out his hand and pulled out a water bottle, took a couple of sips, and then continued his words with a smile.

“Eat it. Hurry up! You’ll have to eat a lot in the future. Otherwise, you’ll lose your energy.”

“Exercising energy means – “

“Everyone in the know does that. Are you still ashamed?”

With a grin on his lips, he patted me on the back a couple of times and carefully bit into a potato.

Seeing how he gently mashed potatoes with his teeth without much effort, he thought it would be a good texture, so he inadvertently swallowed his saliva.

“Ah, don’t look at it like that and eat it. It’s food that doesn’t require much effort anyway, and it’s cheap, isn’t it? They say you don’t have to worry so much?”

In the end, I couldn’t help but put the potato in my mouth because he kept urging me to eat.

I took another bite, admiring the savory yet easily crushed texture, yet moderately cut through my teeth, and Mr. Yuri took off a piece of jerky and handed it to me.

“I recommend taking a bite unless you’re someone who doesn’t like being choked up. It’s perfect to eat with potatoes.”

At first, he waved his hand to show his refusal, but because he held the jerky in his outstretched hand to stir, he had no choice but to quietly crush the jerky with his teeth.

As expected, the salty taste flowed out from the food, which he ate according to his words, and filled his dry mouth with saliva.

With me shaking my head and admiring this simple meal behind me, he poured the peas into a really small pot and added a spoonful of butter.

I watched him quietly as he sprinkled salt from unknown sources and crushed pepper on the spot.

“Do you need herbs too?”

“Is it nice to have? Do you tend to carry spices?”

I rummaged through my bag, picked up a pinch of dried grass, and put it in his hand. He immediately dumped it into the pot and sniffed the remaining scent.

“Aha, is this rosemary? You have a good one.”

“But you can grow a lot when the weather is warm.”

If I put a lot of effort into food, the ingredients were a big deal to me.

And seeing him adding butter, salt, pepper, and even dried rosemary to eat boiled beans made me happy to see him meeting a colleague.

“It is said that ‘cooking’ is not to eat to live, but to enjoy. If you eat to live, isn’t ‘food’ enough?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you again.”

“And it’s been a while since I’ve seen someone who understands that. It’s something that spouses of blood relatives have in common…

The longer you live, the less fun you get. But food only grows as time passes, and I have no intention of giving it to you!”

Whis, whee, it is slowly covered in the luster of butter and the dominant sweet grassy scent of herbs, and it looks appetizing and mixes well.

I carefully received the handed to me with a spoon about halfway through the lid of the pot.

“Thank you. But is it okay to eat this much?”

“Eat. You won’t be able to eat later.”

Looking at a slight smile, he put a big pea in his mouth and chewed it while blowing on the seaweed.

The taste of the peas warmed in butter was fantastic.

Once you dig into the oily outer part, the undercooked inside gives a proper texture and fills your stomach.

“Whoa, whoa… Let’s see, she seems to have adapted to you pretty quickly. She’s getting used to her body that’s changed so quickly that she didn’t even know she was a blood relative, and doesn’t know how to apply it. Know.”

As soon as the story of the kin began, I stopped eating and started focusing on him.

A changed body means a bigger body and stronger muscles.

And it must be an unknown liquid exhaled from its teeth.

Spit and sweat.

Isn’t the ability to properly use all of them the result of the ability to deal with it from before?

“Her unique adaptability saved her from many of her dangers. Her own and her life. But, all of her was on the edge…”

Of course, being able to improvise is a good thing.

However, it was not a good thing at all to come to a situation where I had to rely on that ability every time.

I tried to correct that side of her, and eventually she got criticized for being ‘bored’ and began to distort.

“Did she say Hartfield? She… Wasn’t blood related?”

“Originally. So – huh?”

How I became her vampire.

Have you heard the story?

“I don’t think it would work out if she talked about her only with you. Ah, Irina is talking to her right now.

Would you mind if I combined her findings with mine?”

“That’s… I wonder if this is right.”

She hasn’t even told me yet, she’s this day, she’s this time, she’s not even properly told how she’s a vampire—no, she’s a blood relative.

And I mixed her body with her many times.

In despair, in sorrow, in displeasure, in joy, in mad love…

Is it really right to keep going like this? Wouldn’t it be necessary to reconsider this road we are walking now?

“What would you do if you thought about it like that? You already made up your mind to accept her the moment you saw her change.

Rather, she decided to embrace her even though she knew she had fallen for her cruel existence as a vampire. Do you know how big her heart is? Do you know how much that must have meant to your significant other?

Even if you don’t know the existence of a vampire properly, the existence of a vampire itself is not very welcome,

And the fact that it is a being stigmatized by the religion that spreads in this world and that of the eight eyes watching from above,

You know, but you decided to accept it.

This, even as I say it, really makes my face burn…

At least as someone who has already walked the path you have walked, I would like to tell you that you should take on more responsibility.”

While continuing his speech in a calm tone, I felt my heart grow heavier when I saw him sniffling or clearing his throat, suddenly buried in emotion.

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

That’s why it was painful.

The coming future was not something that could be avoided or escaped.

I had to accept it, and I had to deal with it.

But I didn’t know that the burden I had to deal with was so great.

At least until Irina came toward us in anger.

“Yuri, that woman is crazy, so crazy! It’s not something we can handle.”

“Wait, isn’t it rude to say that, Irina!”

Very hostile, she shot me and Elena, grabbed Mr. Yuri by the arm and made her stand up.

Once caught, he tried to reprimand her for her rudeness, but Irina-san had no intention of stopping.

“Excuse me? Excuse me, these two did more. No, to be precise, this woman is shameless. You’ll understand when you hear the story, right?”

“What the hell did you hear?”

I was a little offended by her harsh words, and I involuntarily went into a fit of rage.

But Irina-san, not paying attention to my attitude, crossed her arms and pointed at Elena with her chin.

“Do you know what that woman did? Haa… She said she killed her right in front of your eyes. A man. Of course, he was cheap even if he died.”

“Yes, Benjamin Atkinson. Murder is wrong, of course, but – “

Killing people is a felony. Especially in most situations.

It was not something that could be forgiven for taking away the life opportunity given to others.

But I knew how she felt, so maybe-

No, I didn’t want to talk with her for a long time about this…

Wait a minute, what the hell happened? Why didn’t I address this issue?

“Yeah, look at this. She’s a very cunning woman who uses her powers, right?

Do you think I took issue with murder? My blood relatives have experienced murder once or twice, no, dozens of times.

Cut off a flirty woman neatly,

Especially when I have to completely trample on those who dare to harm me or him.

However, it is already a disqualification in that you do not treat the person you love with love, but try to cover it with a soggy desire for dominance and ugly lust.

You said that, Yuri? How could such a woman be related by blood?!”

“…”

Hearing these insults, Elena just stood still and listened to all of this.

I was speechless at her refusal to deny it.

I hoped she would react to something.

I wanted him to run wild and shout something.

I knew there was something stronger than love, but did you do it on purpose?

Isn’t it that you unconsciously covered it by using clumsy power?

“Yeah, actually, this isn’t surprising. They said they weren’t blood relatives in the first place.

Even if you are the same as that girl, you are very much the same. She loved her husband so much that even her death could not take her away, and she made herself her own kinsman.

A woman who doesn’t know if she’s a genius or if she’s crazy.

I never thought that her legacy would still survive.

Little did she know that her heritage was attracted to a woman with a personality just like hers,

And I never imagined that such a shameless woman would dare to become her blood relative.

I can’t believe you’re walking around without thinking about the subject of a major accident!”

“A major accident, what the hell are you talking about?”

If endless nights were a problem, it was because she was going to ask him and her questions to solve that very problem.

But if that’s not the end, then what?

“Killing members of the church? And without cleaning up properly? What? You even wrote a letter to entice me?

Good job. Good job. Now, who knows he’s dead, and that the father of that garbage has a reputation of his own?

Then, isn’t it obvious what will happen? Huh?

And with all this crazy stuff, what?

‘Niel, until he loves me, maybe… My thirst won’t be quenched’ Rani,

There will never be an end to the blood month, and only the church will be attacked by evil and search all over the place like teeth.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much, You crazy b*tch!!”

The woman who kept her dignity disappeared, and Mr. Irina, who was screaming in anger, was unable to say or act and just stared at us alternately.

Elena bit her lip and stood quietly with her fists clenched.

Even in the midst of that, the fact that her gaze was only fixed on me came a little uncomfortable.

Is her true self, not caring about the eternal night or dying people?

Was the human part of her that was visible at the moment that she believed was also the part that she intentionally showed?

If that’s not the case, is it only now that you can clearly see the results of acting according to your instincts and your heart?

I didn’t know how to deal with this situation.

Should I have been suspicious of her since I was embraced by her so naturally?

Or did I simply refuse to accept all of this happening with my will?

I wonder if things have already happened since I wasn’t as thorough as I was in the first place.

The fire that still covered the village was feeding on the winter wind and feeding itself with its last strength.

As if I didn’t even think about what would happen after everything was burned.
