Chapter Fifteen: Vampire Night

  "Waaahhh... Kaito~~ How can you go out and run around like that, my lovely daughter? Got lost, what am I going to do, Daddy?" As soon as she got home, a seaweed-tearful creature pounced on her. She wondered if her brother would be the same way too?

  "The chairman" can dodge his bear hug, being hugged is fatal.

  "Ugh... call me dad." The director was once again tearful, dejectedly hanging his head, while Yuuki could only stand by and laugh dryly.

  "Aoi Sakura, would you like to call the Director 'Dad'?" Yuuki chuckled a few times, looking at me with a radiant smile and sparkling eyes.

  She glanced at her and said "Yuuki, why don't you call Director Dad?"

  "This, this thing..."

  "Yuuki..." The director gazed at Yuuki with watery eyes, unfortunately...

  "...Chairman." Yuugi silently took a step back, seemingly resistant.

  "Wooo... it's Dad..." The director hung his head down, tears gushing out like a waterfall, and I seemed to hear the mournful sound of the erhu.

  "I'm leaving." He quietly moved to the door, quickly closed it and walked out of that awkward office.

  Director, why did you want me to adopt her as a foster daughter? This is something I've never understood. Adopting someone who is unclear and unscrupulous has no effect on him unless he's a good person. However... his tears are all deceitful and showy, and the eyes hidden behind his glasses are sharp.

  What kind of person is my father... Although I've regained my memories, I can no longer recall his appearance. All I know is that... Dad was a very gentle person to our family.

  The silent tenderness is similar to that of my brother's.

  …………

  ………

  Unconsciously, I walked to the side of the marble fountain, and the bright moonlight spilled onto the ground as if it wasn't night at all. The chairman was nowhere to be found, his eyes always icy like a deep pool, distant from anyone. Only to Yuki did he let down his guard, only to Yuki was he gentle... why didn't he suspect me or put up his guard, but instead indulged me?

  Do I look like a little kid now?

  "The moon is hidden, tonight will be the night of vampires." Looking up at the beautiful round moon being covered by dark clouds, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere, with occasional water droplets splashing onto his body from the fountain. A person stands here, muttering to himself, filled with inexplicable loneliness.

  "What a tempting smell." A faint conversation came from behind the trees not far away, and I stood silently in place eavesdropping. After turning back into a vampire, my hearing became even more acute.

  "Wait a minute, isn't she the human that Kyoraku-sama has been doting on recently?" Another voice cut in, but it didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

  "Hmph! You're just a human, I'm sure Lord Kyoran won't blame us too much for this." The vampire snorted in disdain, filled with contempt towards humans. To him, humans were born to be food anyway...

  I watched as the two people crept out from behind the tree, their hands secretly reaching for the waistband, ready to pull out a small knife at any moment, but...

  "Get out! Nauseating vampire." Zero appeared, his back to me as he held up a silver-white handgun that looked extra beautiful. Staring blankly at his back, I could hear the coldness and anger in his words.

  Disgusting? Does a vampire disgust him... I'm also a vampire now, so do I.

  "All blood-sucking behavior in school has been prohibited long ago. Are you addicted to the scent of blood and losing your mind? Vampire."

  "Tch! How detestable. Vampirism is forbidden, I've heard for the first time, because of the relationship with the Night Department? If vampires don't drink blood, it's agonizing, but... being freed from this thirst for fresh blood, is it a blessing or a curse from God?"

  Staring at Zero's back, I feel a strange sadness in my heart. Zero is someone my brother dislikes, and I shouldn't have gotten close to him...I shouldn't get close to anyone...One day, they'll all leave me anyway.

  "Conical birthmate, can you put away your Blood Rose? It's very dangerous for us." The older brother walked slowly out of the forest, revealing an official smile to Zero.

  "Jiulang, I hope you must handle this matter." Putting away the gun with a hint of impoliteness, he turned his back and walked away.

  "The dormitory head." The two vampires were intimidated by their brother's icy stare and went soft in the legs.

  The star on the tree jumped down nimbly, bowed and then dragged those two vampires away. With his brother's temper, he estimated that he would be tight-lipped. "I will, Kurenai, come over here."

  I obediently walked to my brother's side, and then looked at him as he squatted down and pulled up my hand. In his hand was a knife, not the blade but the edge, with blood dripping onto the ground... it didn't hurt, just a slight stinging sensation.

  "…Akane, this is not something you should be touching." The knife was roughly taken away from her hand by her brother, his face stern... Her brother was really angry.

  "Sorry..." He apologized quietly with his head bowed, his brother unexpectedly had a small grudge and would be bullied if he didn't apologize.

  "Uh..." A faint voice came from behind, seemingly in pain. Turning around, I only saw Zero turn his head and run away... What's wrong with Zero?

  "Conical birthmate is just physically unwell." He felt relieved when his head was touched.

  "...But, the wound keeps bleeding and it's really troublesome, what a selfish child." My brother gently opened his palm, then looked at me as if asking for a greeting, and kissed my palm. But I could see that my brother was using force, and even a little pain disappeared.

  "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, Shu." Looking at the blood-stained hand, the wound that was cut was quietly disappearing, and he couldn't help but smile "...Shu, if it were you, would you be willing to drink my blood?"

  I don't know why I'm asking this, but the brother holding my hand tightened his grip slightly. The blood of a vampire contains power, if it's for my brother, I'd be willing to give him the blood from my heart, I have no meaning in living, if it's for my brother... I'd be willing to live inside his body.

  "A lot of blood has been spilled, it can be used as a snack, will the axis be disdainful?" Today is Vampire Night, brother's words, today will also be thirsty.

  "......Akira, do you know the consequences of being bitten by a pure-blood?" My brother looked down at my hand with an obscure gaze.

  I nodded, now that I'm human, I mustn't be discovered as a vampire. "I know, Bluedoor said that pure-bloods won't become vampires if they don't bite the neck. So, hands are fine, no need to hold back."

  He actively raised his hand towards him, and my brother seemed to be taken aback, but I usually squatted down to take over my hand. With a blood-red glow flashing in his eyes, he slowly closed them, licking the blood.

  Biting her lip silently, her palms itched, she really wanted to laugh... Her brother's eyelashes were very long, just like when they were young, her brother was a big beauty.

  The moment fangs pierced into my wrist, I heard a faint 'Yuuki', if it was still Yuuki, she would definitely be extremely happy.

  Staring at his half-kneeling brother, in this world, the only time he's on an equal level with his brother... Silently reaching out to touch his brother's hair, soft and unexpectedly smooth... Bluedoor would definitely be green with envy.

  "Jiulang!?! No way!!!" Yuji suddenly jumped out, shouting with a tense face.

  "Yuuki..." My brother's lips left my wrist, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, gazing at Yuuki with a look of concern.

  "Kuran-senpai... Vampiric behavior is forbidden..." Yuuki covered her mouth in disbelief, her face shocked and hurt.

  "...... Yuji, you misunderstood, Shu was just helping me with the treatment, I just cut my hand with a knife." Lifted up her hand, there were light scratch marks on her palm, while the bite mark had already disappeared.

  The wound is healing slowly because of the poison applied on top...

  "I'm sorry! Kyōya-senpai misunderstood you!" Yūki hastily bowed in apology.

  "...... Yuji, you've worked hard." Her brother smiled gently at Yuji.

  "So I went back to sleep." Tomorrow still have to go to LME to see that weird uncle, need to sleep early or will be very sleepy...

  "Goodnight, Kyoran-senpai." Yuki bowed and turned to run away. Is Yuki running away from her brother...?

  Staring in the direction Yuuki ran off, her heart is filled with worries about the future. She hurt the most important person and also hurt herself. Is this really okay? Yuuki.

  "......Let's go back, Kirsikka."

  "Mm." He nodded and looked up at Hui with some curiosity. "Hui, does the taste of blood taste good?"

  "...Kurenai's blood is very delicious." My brother patted my head, his eyes were sorrowful, was it because of Yuuki or me?

  "Is it as sweet as candy? When eating delicious things, be happy and forget all the sad things."

  "Yes, you're still the same as before..."
