Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous

7 – #02. Jinjo Vampire (2)

I knocked on the door of the cabin and entered.

Mea followed me without a word, and as soon as I opened the door, I heard a rustling sound and the sound of using a cane from the inside.

“Ah, are you here?”

“…… Did nothing happen?”

“Yes. I always…… Oh, the guest in the back….”

At the sound of her footsteps, Lenny turned her head to see Mea, and with her little gesture, Lenny bowed her head in greeting.

“That, ah, hello.”

“Yes, I am here again. Sorry for the frequent excuses.”

“No, I… ….”

I’m sorry for this, but I approached Lenny slightly and grabbed her slender shoulder.

“Sorry. I have something important to say today, so why don’t you go to your room first?”

“Oh, yes. If so, I first…….”

“Let’s go to the room together.”

After stroking her girl’s hair once, he gently took her hand and led her to her room.

Thin hands.

Come to think of it, now that I have raised this child, I must be responsible for the livelihood.

At the time Neira’s hand approached, I thought it was inevitable, but if I disappeared right away, there was no one to take responsibility for Lenny’s life.

“Sleep well, have a nice dream.”

“Good night, mister.”

I smiled at Lenny’s answer and gently closed the door.

When I returned after guiding her girl inside her, Mea was glaring this way with her rather sullen expression.

“…… You are a great gentleman.”

“Because he is a little uncomfortable.”

“Tsk.”

His expression was somewhat dark, as if he was so uncomfortable.

She sat down on a chair in the living room and crossed her legs. As the sun began to fade, she lit her lantern, and the light reflected her white legs wagging.

“So?”

“Huh?”

“What are you going to do from now on?”

She pondered her question for a while.

To be honest, no matter how hard I struggle, there is no hope. There was no way I could survive against the True Vampire, and even if she was serious about it, there was no way I could move alone.

Jinjo Vampires have numerous followers.

Each and every one of those vampires has power equivalent to that of a decent knight. It is also an opponent that is difficult to injure unless it is the weapon called weakness or the weapon blessed in the temple.

“To be honest, I don’t know.”

My fascination was clearly working on Neira, but she still tried to kill me.

The image of her approaching me with gentle and affectionate gestures comes to mind clearly even after a little time has passed.

“It’s your job. What if I don’t know?”

She ruffled her own purple hair.

“I will help, but to be honest, it is difficult. I wonder if she could be one of the true ancestors, but if she really moved, she couldn’t be alone.”

“I think so too.”

A group of vampires and the pursuit of the true ancestors.

If Neira seriously wants to kill me, she has virtually no chance.

“Still, thank you for helping me.”

“Ji, don’t say something gross! Rather than that, isn’t that woman the problem?”

She couldn’t help it if she was freed from her curse of fascination and said she would kill me to avenge her, but she could understand that death.

But she was still fascinated by me.

But if she still wants to kill me, what could be the reason?

“Eternity and hope. Neira definitely said that.”

“Don’t those old ones always talk in circles?”

“It’s old… ….”

“What’s wrong?”

True ancestor vampires are considered immortal, so it’s not wrong, but it’s a little bit wrong to say that they are old.

“Don’t pay attention to such nonsense. Ask the person who wants to kill you why? Better to figure out how to survive in such a time.”

“…… I guess so.”

I wasn’t sure.

She was so abrupt as well, but if she was serious about killing me, she wanted to know why. Rather, she would have been cool if the fascination had been released.

In the meantime, Mea held out her bundle that she had been carrying.

“First of all, I have some weapons with blessings.”

Come to think of it, I wondered what all those things were, but they were all weapons.

Even as soon as she untied her knot, a fair amount of ordnance poured out.

“…… Are these all blessed weapons?”

“I packed this and that, but is it a little lacking? First of all, if you have something that fits your hand, grab it. Still, if you live as an adventurer, that means your skills have improved to some extent, right?”

Neither does he, but isn’t this a bit too many?

As if they were going to war with vampires, there are too many of them even though there are a lot of numbers and types.

Starting with maces, daggers, and even bows and arrows. It was a question of how all the kendo types were prepared in that small bundle.

I slowly approached them and grabbed them one at a time.

It was definitely different from my cheap sword, as soon as I held it, it wrapped around my palm, maintaining a good sense of balance. The weight varied from somewhat heavy to light, but they must have been far superior weapons than the sword I actually used.

“Pick something comfortable. Because you can have it.”

“Are you okay? Aren’t they expensive?”

“What’s the deal with that weapon? Never mind, I can get enough to fill this whole little cabin if you want.”

If it is Mea’s wealth, it can be done.

She is the daughter of an organization that controls and manages the dark side of the empire, and is a woman who stands tall on top of the dark side of the empire in name and reality.

Still, she felt sorry for getting it for free.

She may not be anything to her, but from my point of view, she probably doesn’t know about this sword, but she is about this hut.

“It seems too valuable to me.”

“Ah, that must be so. The price is different for each one, but if it’s roughly like that, it’s enough to buy dozens of huts like this.”

Did I think I was too complacent?

The illusion of suddenly gaining weight…… Must be an illusion My hands were already shaking when I thought of going out on the wrong day.

“What are you surprised about? When he was in the imperial palace, he casually enjoyed luxury even greater than this. Isn’t it kind of funny to ask about that now?”

“I felt that it wasn’t normal while living.”

I spent almost two years of my earnings on just getting this one cabin.

Moreover, considering that the income of an adventurer is not that low no matter how remote it is, the amount is even more expensive.

Of course, the land and buildings were purchased by outsiders, so it was bound to be expensive, but that didn’t mean the land and house prices were cheap.

“Enough with this problem, would you like that weapon?”

“This one is the most weighty.”

“…… I don’t know when it will come, but since it has already appeared in front of you, it will come someday. Don’t take it lightly because your opponent is the true ancestor.”

I know.

She understood at least that she wasn’t the kind of girl who smiled softly in front of me. And that her strength is not something I dare to handle.

It doesn’t matter if you die.

No, this is a lie too. In fact, I missed modern times, and beyond that, there were too many things that could not be resolved in this world.

Moreover, Lenny’s presence kept stepping on his eyes.

“That, you know.”

“Huh?”

My mouth didn’t come off.

How can I say if I die, can I ask for at least Lenny? It was a request that she didn’t have too much shame, but she wondered if she would be okay if it was her wealth.

A moment of silence between hesitation and conflict.

“…… If I die, can I take care of that child?”

At that, she turned around for a moment and shut her mouth.

I wish she’d answered at least, but she frowned and put on a complicated expression. Rather, it felt like that expression represented that feeling.

How much silence had passed.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Mea dismissed it in a voice that seemed to drip with chills.

“That kid? That’s what you got Even just being with you like this is already my limit. But what? When you die, do you want me to take that child? There is a certain degree of irresponsibility.”

“…… That’s right.”

“No one else can reap the seeds you sow.”

It was the life I reaped.

It was a coincidence that I came to visit a village that was in decline due to an epidemic, but it was my choice to take care of a child who lost everything there and was left alone.

“Besides, do you think you will die if I leave that child to me? I can’t admit that It’s okay to be ugly, no matter how cowardly and disgusting you are, so take responsibility for what you’ve done.”

Her words sounded like she was telling her not to run away.

There’s nothing wrong with that, so there’s no way to deny it. Surprisingly, though her words were sharp, she never contradicted them.

“I can’t even refute you because I didn’t say anything wrong.”

“Isn’t that obvious? No matter how disgusting you are, in fact I don’t even want to see you, I’m here. Think about why.”

Mea’s words are like thorns.

She’s obviously hurt to the point of being heartbroken, but for some reason she didn’t hate it that much.

“What if that woman kills you and makes you her household? After that, there is a risk of using your abilities.”

“…… She never thought of that.”

If you think about it, it wasn’t the end just because I died.

Lenny’s livelihood is also a livelihood, but I couldn’t rule out the possibility that this ability called fascination would be maintained even after death.

After her death, what if she is raised by Neira and abuses her powers?

Even if that wasn’t the case, Neira’s fascination with it was a valid reason for wanting to kill me.

If you kill me and make me a follower.

The possibility that he is trying to dominate me like that is undeniable. Considering that, I felt that the current developments were roughly aligned.

“So fight.”

Mea held out the sword I had just touched.

A sword with a particularly shiny white scabbard.

“You want to run away? Got into trouble I know your responsibility. I know my fault. I know a past that cannot be covered. I know how many lives have been overwritten by that fascination.”

I can’t escape.

You must not run away.

She was telling me that.

“What can I do with my life?”

“Isn’t that something you have to choose? Are you thinking of asking me about that?”

But I couldn’t picture the future.

What’s to come. What you want to do. What you have to do.

I couldn’t draw anything, I couldn’t think of anything.

Besides, I still haven’t gotten out of the past.

The figure of a woman who jumped from afar without a chance to stop.

Before her head touched the ground, I even had the illusion that our eyes met.

Something in the shape of a human.

It was clearly a person.

However, it lost its life and just turned into fragments of meat.

“I still don’t know….”

At the moment I was about to continue talking like that.

I heard a knock on the door from outside.

Knock, Knock, Do.

There was no one to visit the cabin at this hour, and even if there were, they wouldn’t have made it all the way here at this hour when the sun was going down.

For example, if there is one, there is only one expected.

“Seo, your love is here.”

She called my name softly, in a voice that could be heard clearly even outside the door.
