1Chapter 52: Shadow in the dark
2
3“Please wait, the three of you”
4
5Knives, chain sickle, and bombs. I poured water into the three of them who took out their weapon. 
6Kuzuha-chan is looking nervous. she understands the meaning of hiding and crossing the border but she wonders why do the entertainers do that. I think she is just too pure.
7
8Terrier-chan bandit trio responds to my words and gaze at me. After confirming that, I bit my finger. 
9The blood overflows from the wound, and the sweet taste spreads in my mouth. 
10While I remembered some unnecessary feelings, I released my finger from my mouth and speak the words.
11
12“Blood Arms, ‘​​rope’ .”
13
14The skill to change blood into weapons. It seems that the rope is not exactly a weapon, but the restraint seems to be interpreted as a weapon. Because my skill level is max, I can make it, I will gladly use it
15Lightly tie a rope made to be long enough so that it does not get too tight around Neguseo’s neck.
16
17“Are you OK? Neguseo” 
18“No problem.” 
19“Well then, Kuzuha-chan, would you pass this rope to the three of them?”
20“Oh, yes.”
21
22Talking over the edge of the rope, Kuzha will relay to the front. 
23Even though the four of them don’t know what my plan is, they still grap the rope properly.
24
25“So, what do you want to do?” 
26“I think you should avoid combat as much as possible, right?” 
27“This is long rope, did you make it ?”
28
29As Terrier-chan says, there are signs people getting closer. This rope is for several people, not just one person.
30I also do not know how he perceived it and how the people who are heading here have grasped our existence. 
31But if possible, I want to avoid conflict. It is a troublesome. We are crossing the border by moutain to avoid the trouble in the first place.
32
33“O Darkness, cover us”
34
35So, I use magic to avoid it. 
36Dark magic. I exercised magic skill at level 1. 
37It is the skill I had grasped the effect from the begining. I did not use it until now because I had no chance to use it. 
38The effect of the this skill level is very simple. Make darkness. That’s it. 
39Things like black mist overflow from my palm and flow to the surroundings. As how I see it, I have dyed my surroundings with darkness and I’m still not stopping yet. 
40Just a little time, everything was covered in darkness.
41
42“Arge-san, this is …” 
43“It’s okay, just making it hard to see”
44
45Normally, even it is night now, visual is really bad. Forest in the time of dusk where only a few moonlight can reach. Terrier-chan bandit trio, Kuzuha-chan and Neguseo still can see. I can see the scenery almost the same as at the daytime thanks to my vampire eyes. We are a group with a good sight at night. 
46But the darkness I make now is dark enough that its impossible to see the surrounding.
47
48Only I can see.
49
50To be precise, only vampires that can see through it. I’m the only member who is a vampire here now and I can only see through this darkness without problems.
51The reason why I still can see is the race characteristic of the vampire. I do not know the detail, but the vampire seems to have settled the magical power of darkness, probably a blessing. 
52Now the people who are chasing us will lose sight of us. While continuing the dark magic, I send words to everyone while moving to the front.
53
54“Well then, I will lead you, please follow me without taking off the rope.” 
55“Wait” 
56“What is it, Terrier-chan?”
57
58Is it dissatisfication or a question? When I looked at Terrier-chan, he looked straight at my eyes in this darkness. He doesn’t look at me blindly. Terrier-chan‘s eyes are properly looking toward me. Maybe he can sense me somehow
59
60“… Maybe you can see it?” 
61“Well…”
62
63I can tell them ‘I can see it’ , but I do not feel like explaining the reason. His attitude was like still in doubt. 
64I do not care about why, so it does not matter if I do not feel like talking. 
65Terrier-chan bandit trio nod with each other, look like they decided to listen to me. How can they reach to an agreement without visual.
66
67“The entertainer is amazing, isn’t it?” (Arge)
68“Who is an entertainer, wait a moment” (T.N: this time only Terrier talk)
69
70It seems like he wants to do something. Terrier-chan pulled out the dagger from his bosom. It is not just one, the glow that appeared from his bosom are at least three of them. 
71Terrier-chan threw three dagger with a casual movement as if he was deciding to do so from the beginning. Without vision, he shouldn’t know the direction to throw, but his throwing is accuracy. 
72Each of the three daggers flies through the gaps of the trees, in a different direction. Without even looking and then Terrier-chan grabbed the rope again.
73
74“Let’s go” 
75“Terrier-chan, what have you done just now?” 
76“Those daggers will explode after a while, it’s a diversion to catch the attention of the border guards, let’s go quickly.” 
77“Ah, yes”
78
79I’m holding the edge of the rope and the back was pushed, so I started walking and lead everyone. 
80If you can see it, I think Terrier-chan is the best, but he seems to leave it to me. 
81I was wondering if he might get angry at me for denying and disturbing them when they were trying to fight, but they rather listening to me obediently. 
82Their name are weird and they are violent, but I don’t hate people like them.
83While thinking that the mountain road is hard to walk, I walk through the darkness and lead everyone. 
84We almost reach the end of the mountain road. We went through the darkness with opposite way from the flashy explosive sounds behind us.
85
86Chapter 53: Rematch, Terrier Bandit Trio
87
88“Fu, aaa …”
89
90While yawning, I expose the fangs of the vampire to the sky, I don’t need to hide it because they already know. 
91It is a pleasant thing to breathe out and take in fresh air into the lungs, but it is also an ally for a nap. I want to take a nap soon.
92
93“…  and will you three do it anyway?” 
94
95While wiping tears I look at them and ask. It is a Terrier-chan bandit trio a few meters away. 
96Slim chihuahua-chan who roughly shakes nose hair with muffin and nose. 
97Dachs-chan is a little fat exposed his shinny hair gently. 
98And Terrier-chan with a balanced body with a bald head, wear a mantle. 
99They look like entertainers, with strange clothes , Terrier Bandit Trio. It is a funny trio that can not be forgotten once you see it.
100
101Terrier Trio
102
103“Before your eyes!” 
104“We are the one make children keep crying when look at!” 
105“You can’t keep anything from us”
106
107While watching Terrier-chan bandit trio who positively make their appearance pose, I will organize the situation. 
108We got off the mountain safely and then we were walking together for about half a day. However, as soon as I got off the mountain I fell asleep on Neguseo, so I did not notice that they were following. 
109So when I woke up I was surprised to see them. I was just thinking that they are going on a different path. 
110Then the reason why the Terrier-chan bandit trio went out of their way to wait for me to wake up is to have some words with me now. 
111In other words, they patient waiting for me to wake up, for a fair revenge match. Perhaps they have too much free time.
112
113The fragrance of blood from the trio who are posing right now is still as ever, which mean their power doesn’t improve from the last time we met.
114At least, I know they are not as strong as Felnote-san and I doubt that they even as strong as Kuzuha-chan. 
115Still I descended from Neguseo and watched the trio.
116
117… I can not understand the meaning of their pose.
118
119I did not feel any wonder at the first meeting, I won them easy. 
120Today, however, I looked at them again today. and I changed my perception slightly. 
121There is no waste in their movement except for posing. Although it is a self-declaration, there is information that they was rampant at the kingdom.
122Especially Terrier-chan is doing better than the information I obtained from smell. He can looking at me with the darkness that I made, and the ability to detect danger was high, the throwing knife’s aim was accuracy. 
123Reading the smell of blood is all about rough strength (basic stats). Tactics, thoughts, and experience are not reflected there. In other words, Blood Reading from smell only senses the the opponent’s physical body, the strength of the magical power. 
124It may not be okay to rely too much on blood reading, at least from the smell. (T.N: in case you forgot, smell enhance only lvl 1. Taste blood is the only way active Blood Reading lvl 10)
125
126“Arge-san, entertainer-san, what’s wrong?”
127
128Oh, that’s right. Kuzuha-chan is still thinking so.
129
130“Well, they seem to want to practice actions now, so I thought of having a acting with them” 
131“Wow, I am keen to see!” 
132“Yeah, that’s why Kuzuha-chan should shouldn’t join in, It’s okay to look at the practice scenery, can you watch it from over there?” 
133“I understand!”
134
135Kazuha-chan who is unlimited honest and pure seems to have believed my words, she is taking a bit of distance away from me and look at me with eyes of expectation. It looks like she is hoping for it. 
136And I plan to talk with Neguseo next to Kuzha-chan, but I did not have anything to say, so I left him alone. I have not done anything bad. 
137When I turn over again to the entertainers, the three of them keep their poses neatly. I wonder why they did not attack in the gap when I was talking just now.
138
139“Go, you pervert woman !!” 
140“I’m not a pervert woman”
141
142My protest against unwilling nickname was not heard, they are rude. The terrier bandit trio moved.
143Although it is not surprisingly funny, it is the beginning of battle with subtle timing that can not be said as sane. Like the previous one, I blew in with the magic of the wind, but it seemed to they expecting it, they moved in different directions. 
144The trio are spreading out with a swift movement, which seems different to raised one leg or crooked or strange pose like a while ago. Dachs-chan and Chihuahua-chan each go to the left and right, Terrier pull out one dagger while stepping back.
145
146“It’s dangerous, is not it?”
147
148When the body was tilted and the throwing blade was dodged, chains and sickle flew at me. It is Chihuahua-chan’s. 
149I avoid the chain and sickle sideways by lower myself. Wind noise is passing over the head. White Brim rocked roughly. 
150A bomb is thrown in front of me when I bent back. At the moment, when I tried to respond, a dagger penetrated a bomb. Terrier-chan’s is it. An explosion occurred. 
151An explosion at a level that does not compare with what was used in the last battle. But It is still a powerful attack that can hurt me.
152
153“Wait … !”
154
155At the moment of explosion, I moved backwards and escaped. The edges of silver hair and frill are burned slightly and give off an unpleasant smell. Because it is physical damage rather than magic, there is no way to prevent it if it hits this.
156
157“Oh!? Clothes!”
158
159Kuzuha-chan, the creator of the clothes, ruffles her voice, but there is no time to worry about it. A dagger flew through the smoke before the blast was clear off.
160Because smoke is hindered the view, I should not be seen, but the knife is precisely throwing.
161
162There is no need to be impatient, and I intercept the flying dagger with a katana taken from the blood bag. One, two, three. When the smoke was clear, there was no sign of Terrier-chan.
163If he move in a visible state I will not miss him, but if he block my sight and move, I will lose sight like this. Of course, even with this situation, I don’t need to rush.
164
165“Wind-san, please.”
166
167I cast a gust of wind magic on my left hand and blew away Dachs-chan, who was trying to throw another bomb. It will be troublesome if you do not crush the range attack first. (T.N: remember when all out attack in LOL, kill Ziggs first)
168
169“Wow !?”
170
171Dachs-chan’s screams going further away. I turn my body to the right side. Chihuahua-chan is already throw a sickle.
172
173“Take this!”
174
175I can avoid by lower my body. But two knives from the back of Chihuahua-chan are flying towards me right way. (T.N: Twist Fate cover for off-tank Thresh that miss his Q)
176I guess Terrier-chan try to cover Chihuahua-chan when he recover his sickle. Chihuahua-chan’s body is slim, but the knife’s trajectory pass though him precisely. I can tell how good the co-operation from Terrier-chan’s throwing knife skill.
177While admiring them, I use the katana and intercept one knife.
178Another one cut shallow on my right cheek as it flying pass me. But it isn’t that I can’t dodge because get a slight cut is my aim.
179
180“Blood Arms.”Chain”… good”
181“U oo !?”
182
183Catch Chihuahua’s weapon with the chain create from blood in my cheek and throw it away. I can control the chain make from my blood without touching it. Just simple imaging how you want the chain to act.
184Even I’m hold a katana, Blood Arms moves by autopilot. The chain restraint Chihuahua-chan who trying to run away after lost his weapon.
185It was worthwhile to purposely get scratching in the skin. Although I can feel the wound, there is no problem.
186
187“Additional Order, to Dachs-chan”
188
189While looking carefully around, I control the chain to restraint Dachs-chan as well.
190You may still need blood so do not use recovery magic yet, the wound remains.
191
192… He disappear again.
193
194I saw that Terrier-chan was throwing two daggers from the back of Chihuahua-chan but Terrier-chan was disappearing again right after.
195
196“I will listen to it, but Chihuahua-chan, how is Terrier-chan disappearing?”
197“Hah! Do you think I will tell you, Baka!”
198“You must be right.”
199“Whoa !?”
200
201I just heard it, I have not expected it in the first place.
202Operate Blood Arms and pull Chihuahua-chan. Even if you want to do, you will not be able to do anything when your body was held on the tree. Likewise, Dachs-chan’s restraint was completed. Lift them up to several tens of centimeters above the ground and hold them there.
203
204“Additional Order, Be Quiet”
205
206Since their scream behind me is so loud, I use my blood to create a cover to close the two’s mouth.
207Instead of seeing with eyes, concentrate consciousness trying to detect with smell enhance.
208
209…Not here?
210
211I can not caught Terrier-chan’s smell.
212There is a smell, but it is only the fragrance scent. Terrier-chan seems to have been behind Chihuahua from that time.
213Has him moved away to where my nose does not work? I could deny that possibility.
214He will not leave his comrades and run away. Even when he got away, I should see him because it is a plain here, too far away attack will not reach me.
215There’s another possibility. It may be possible to mislead the smell. But how?
216If you could do such things, hide it magically, or –
217
218“- Is this the ground?” (T.N: are you becone Rek’sai + Teemo now)
219
220I believed that was the case this time. If I remember correct, It was nearly the same place where he is appeared to attack and disappear. I come to the place behind Chihuahua-chan just now and waiting. As expected Terrier’s bald head comes out from the ground, but he was slightly behind this time.
221The position where I was standing for a while. Teria who made a face like of a mole digging the ground. It was a picture that seemed to make me laugh in spite of myself. But since he throw three daggers toward me, I sway my body a little to avoid, let return to battle. (T.N: make me think of Twist Fate Ult and Q)
222It seems that he’s throwing with just one arm swinging, but how many daggers are you hiding?
223
224“Blood Arms,’​​Chain’. “
225“Tsk! Lurking !”
226
227As I mentioned before, the chain appeared at where I was, where my blood is falling. My blood expanded its mass, turned into a chain and flying toward Terrier-chan, but he dug to ground before the chain catch him.
228Although he only speak a rough word, magic was definitely activated just now. That spell make a lot dust smoke, the appearance of terrier disappeared to the ground. That is soil magic, isn’t it?
229Terrier may be a good at skill rather than a simple strength. And he also handle it well.
230Nonetheless, I found out the trick. If you know what he is doing, you can come up with as many things to counter.
231
232“Atomization”
233
234Store weapons and clothes, change your body to fog. I do not like to keep using this skill so much, but I think that the best hand for now, so I use it without any hesitate. (T.N: uhm… hand isn’t really mean hand but method, i’m not really sure but I hear it somewhere before)
235I don’t like it because consciousness becomes a little thin when I become fog. It is similar when I become drowsy, but if normal, I can just sleep when I become drowsy. I can not sleep when it is foggy. Yeah, I’m not good at it.
236While gathering fluffy consciousness, I will scatter my body. Even though my eyes and ears are all lost, the strange thing is that the body where the fog is covered can grasp whatever happens.
237Even the feeling that the ground is moved slightly, it seems like to pick it up. There is no hand in this form though.
238In the meantime, I concentrated my consciousness on the movement of the ground and waited.
239Shaking of the earth, movement that is a sign of appearance. The ground rises slightly. I follow what I felt.
240Just before the opponent comes out, I return from the fog to the original form and I also wear clothes. And I have the upper hand this time.
241Roll up the soil gently, the ground breaks. What appeared then is Terrier-chan.
242
243“Welcome ~♥” (raw don’t have ~♥ but I think it better if we have it there)
244
245So far as expected. Even I got him, it is impossible for him to obediently come out of the ground after I exposed his method of disappearing.
246In order to disturb me, he abandoned the cloak and dropped to the ground.
247He’s pulling out daggers and throwing at me. It’s accurate, but when face to face, I can easy avoid by sway my body a little.
248
249“Damn it! Lur…”
250“Too slow”
251“U waaa !?”
252
253It is the my Blood Arms. However, It is not a “weapon”.
254Ducks and Chihuahua who was covered the mouth and was dragged around the sky. I keep the two from behind the terrier.
255At the same time I released Blood Arms, the two people who were unconstrained fall by gravity. As a result, the three people are forcibly stuffed into the same hole. That looks painful. Three people together saying “Muugou!?”
256
257“Blood Arms, ‘rope’. “
258
259Let’s finish. I create new rope by Blood Arms.
260Although it is making arrest tools rather than weapons while saying Arms, it is convenient and I uses it without worrying about it.
261The rope tie up the three people together.
262
263“It is a truly an amazing performance from entertainer-san.”
264“””Who is entertainer – !!!”””
265
266No, they aren’t entertainers anymore when should I tell Kuzuha-chan?
267
268Chapter 54: Bandits who didn’t learn their lesson.
269
270“… “
271
272The rope that was tying the three of us disappeared suddenly.The red chain that wrapped around my whole body to an extent that it was impossible to escape from, suddenly scattered.
273
274“Tsk, perverted woman.”
275
276While spouting venomous words towards her, I quickly got up and swept off the dust. The other two are doing the same. Dachs, Chihuahua and I were released from our restraints.
277
278“Boss, we are sorry” 
279“I don’t mind, I couldn’t do anything either.”
280
281The reason the chain disappeared was probably because she fell asleep. That perverted woman, was she called Argento?
282The vampire skill Blood Arms is removed when it’s user loses consciousness. We understand that well. And she seems to like sleeping. No doubt the reason we were released was because she went to bed. If she was attacked by a demon and died, it’d also have been released.
283
284“How are your injuries?”
285
286It’s still daytime now, we can see clearly, I will check it for a moment. 
287After catching us, that perverted woman left after applying recovery magic, so there shouldn’t be any injuries.
288
289… Un-believe-able Recovery Magic.
290
291Regarding the injuries we got, she used a large amount of magic and healed it. 
292The three of us recovered simultaneously. With dirt removal, far from having any injuries, I was completely cleaned of the mud and soil from when I dove in the ground.
293
294“It’s all right!” 
295“Me too!” 
296“Okay, let’s go”
297
298I was acting pretentious as though I didn’t care. Although it hurts, it’s also proof of being alive. I’m angry but it’s better to emphasize on surviving. The first thing to do is collect the knives we threw and then…
299
300“That girl, just who is she ?” 
301“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of a vampire with such ridiculous speed and recovery.” 
302“That’s right, I guess we’d know if she’d appeared in the past.”
303
304They’re right. If such a vampire existed in the past, we’d know.
305I know some detestable vampires. “Golden Blood Vampire” (Elsee), “Black Count”, “Red Lord”.
306But she is silver. But she’s silver. Vampires are always born abruptly, but there’s none that suddenly appear with those kinds of abilities. They need time to get stronger.
307Besides, she is toying with us, I hate that.
308
309“Where did she pick up that kind of thing?”
310“That kind of thing, her sword?”
311“……Ah”
312
313I also knew about that sword from before. I heard from Dachs and Chihuahua, and because I can appraise, I immediately found out what it was.
314A frenzied swordsmith, who lost a part of his body, had crafted it in the past. At the end of his life, he remembered his dream and created two sister swords. (T.N: Japanese smith often craft two master piece katana, one to give to friend, the better one is worship as family heirloom, I hope you know Rurouni Kenshin)
315One of them is in the empire. I heard that the other one is still hiding in the darkness, but now it is in the hands of a perverted woman. Ah… How’d she get that sword. I wonder where it is now, even though I couldn’t grasp it’s location after many years searching.
316
317“”Dream of Water Lily“”
318
319The name and effects had been appraised. Actually, I knew from the beginning.
320She didn’t seem to know, so I thought I should tell her. But it was troublesome when the story was interrupted. In the first place, why do I have to teach her? She seems like an idiot.
321
322Collecting all the thrown knives and putting them back. I should do some maintenance while on the move.
323I don’t know if I’ll meet that perverted woman again. If I do, next time I’ll be motivated to pay her back for daring to treat us as entertainers, but for now, it’d be tough.
324If I want to battle that vampire, doing so with only three people would be tough. If only we had something.
325
326“… Can you think of anything ?”
327
328I don’t even know when I will die, I can not see the future. It is better to take measures from what you can see at least for a while. 
329I can’t think of anything at the moment, but let’s think about it again later.
330
331… There seems to be many gaps.
332
333To be exact, she is toying with us too much. 
334Although she seems to have changed a little in this battle, it’s still overkill.  (T.N: overkill don’t really mean kill but mean too strong, I guess)
335If she doesn’t change by the next time we meet, there’ll be a chance. Of course, we’ll prepare a way to make her repent even if she’s improved.
336I’ll make that woman repent next tine. I’ll make her regret making a fool out of me.
337
338(T.N: How cute, bandits trio really didn’t learn, Arge is not even attack yet, she just capture you alive without even get hurt. That cut is only because she need blood)
339
340“Let’s go, guys!”
341“”Yes, Boss !!””
342
343Hit and strike, as usual, I am satisfied with the usual reaction and turn the mantle. 
344Anyway, first of all, I have to eat tomorrow. Look for prey and have to hunt.
345We’re a bandit group who’d make children cry by looking at them. Because we’re the Terrier Bandit Trio.
346The Kingdom is hard to do now, but the Republic is wide. It is good for raising a flag. 
347The destination can not be decided. We do not even know about tomorrow.
348
349.
350That’s fine~♪. That’s good~♪. We do what we want ‘cuz a bandit is free~♪
351We will do it as we like~♪. We will not let anyone disturb us~♪. ‘Cuz We are Bandits~♪.
352
353(T.N: I don’t know if this is proper English, but I read a comment from reader and I like it so I edit. And Terrier doesn’t sing)

365Last time I read from Machine Translate, I don’t fully understand and I don’t check the raw for the word meaning like this time.
366
367Chapter 55: Fox loli’s desire.
368
369“I fixed it!!”
370
371I hear her cheerful voice and wake up. 
372With my vision still blurred from sleep, I see Kuzuha-chan, a fox girl, hopping around the meadow with my maid clothes. Kuzuha-chan is happy jumping around the area.
373Every time she jumps, her short skirt flutters, isn’t that dangerous? I wonder if she wears panties yet, but from what I see, it still look like she go no-pan.
374
375…The clothes got fixed.
376
377In the battle with the Terrier Bandit Trio, Kuzuha-chan’s handmade maid clothes got ruffled and the skirt’s end got burned slightly. It seems that Kuzuha-chan didn’t like it at all.
378When I had finished eating after the rematch, Kuzuha-chan suddenly said “I will fix it!”. She quickly stripped me naked and began to repair the maid dress.
379Because I couldn’t help it, I went to sleep in a blanket and…. It seems that the repair work has ended.
380
381“Ah… Good job, Kuzuha-chan”
382
383I don’t really care about appearance, but she is working hard to fix it, so I must say thank you properly.
384If she couldn’t make and fix clothes, I would be treated as a naked pervert wherever I went.
385Well, the reason why the clothes I wore have disappeared is because Kuzuha-chan suddenly hit me with a blast of flames, but that was that, this is this. (MR: Was “Kuzuha-chan surprisingly smeared me with high heat”, but that sounded like she was toast, so I changed it.)
386
387“No, I don’t think it was anything great… Come on, please wear it !”
388
389I take the blanket off after receiving the dress.
390Although I was dressed by Kuzuha-chan only once. I can remember how to put it on. I don’t need Kuzuha-chan to help this time. I can change my clothes by myself.
391
392“I will make another set of clothes ahead of time, so when Arge-san clothes get torn again like this, Arge-san doesn’t need to be naked.”
393“I think that it was fine as it was only lightly torn though….”
394“What are you saying, a girl should wear proper clothes if she can help it!”
395
396What was that?
397
398“If you have clothes with holes or dirty clothes, you will have a hole in your heart and become filthy! Therefore as much as possible, you need to wear proper clothes!”
399
400Because Kuzuha-chan looked so serious and said something…..amazing, I decided to nod and obey her in silence. 
401Her words feel like a sermon. She must have endured a lot. After all, a slaves life seemed to be painful. I wonder if it’s normal for girls to love to wear costumes.
402
403…Well, it is Kuzuha-chan and Bushiha-chan making it.
404
405And she says that she can make another dress while I am asleep, which I appreciate, so I will leave it to her.
406I would prefer clothes that are easy to move, if possible, but I will leave it to the mood of the creator. Since she is the one to make it, it would be rude to have too many demands of her.
407
408“If Kuzuha-chan said so, shall we do so?”
409“Yes, that’s okay, leave it to me.”
410
411Kuzuha-chan nods in satisfaction. She is an obedient child.
412
413“Well then, shall we leave?”
414“Oh, please wait, Arge-san”
415“What’s the matter?”
416“No ….about that Arge-san, where is your destination in the Republic?”
417“……For now, I think I will aim for the capital.”
418
419In the sense, that it is the final destination, it is to find “people who Will feed me for life, and allow me to sleep whenever I want in a fluffy bed” so in order to get it, I am planning to go to places with many people.
420I do not know where the capital is or what its name is, but if you move forward, enentually you should get to a town and you will meet travelers, so you only have to get the information from them.
421
422“Well, are you in a hurry to go to the capital?”
423“No, I’m not in a hurry,”
424
425It is true that I want to live that kind of life quickly, but I don’t really rush.
426I know that people who do such things are really rare, so I’m thinking I will have to search carefully.
427Or rather, I do not want to get tired, so I’d like to look for them while I am resting moderately. My pace is important.
428
429Kuzuha-chan heard my words and smiled. Wagging her triplet tail, it seems like she feels relieved.
430
431“In that case, there are a few cities I want to visit …is that okay?”
432
433I don’t know what her intention is, but Kuzuha-chan is behaving quite seriously.
434Kuzuha-chan was treated as a slave for a long time by Ruts.
435I do not know how long it was, but during that time, she would not have had the opportunity to contact anyone or go anywhere.
436
437 She seems to have buried her mom properly and chased after me as soon as possible.
438
439…Well, it’s not a bad idea to lazily tour the Republic. A kind of “Alternate World Tour”.
440
441It makes me think of the port city of the Kingdom, Arlesha.
442The sea breeze was pleasant and the meals were delicious. It was a nice town to take a nap in.
443It isn’t bad to go to other towns as well, if I like them, I might choose it as the place to live in the future.
444
445“Okay, then can you show me around?”
446“Please leave it to me!”
447
448When Kuzuha-chan stretches her body, her face starts changing.
449The size of her body and the clothes she wears start shrinking, even the shape of her body changes. Fox mode Kuzuha-chan is completed.
450
451“I will show you the way, let’s go, Arge-san”
452“Yes. Neguseo, please.”
453
454I pick up Kuzuha-chan and call out to Neguseo.
455Neguseo rises from the ground. It seems he also rested for a while, just like me.
456
457“Are we leaving, Arge-san?”
458“Yes… please help us for a while longer.”
459“All right. Get on, Arge-san”
460
461Following a gentlemanly urge, I ride on the back of Neguseo with Kuzuha-chan.
462The position for line of sight becomes higher and it is possible to see farther. The wind is pleasant and I’m sleepy, but Negseo and Kuzuha-chan can not communicate, so I have to stay awake and become an interpreter.
463
464“Is the city you want to go to far?”
465“If we walk slowly and take a rest at night, we will arrive at noon tomorrow.”
466“Well then, which direction?”
467
468I relay Kuzuha-chan’s instructions to Neguseo and we will resume our trip.
469Republic? What kind of country is it? I hope there will be someone who will feed me.

486
487Chapter 56: Flower surrounded Town
488
489“… Sakura?”
490
491Words that I said almost unconsciously, are directed to the flower petals in the air.
492there are a lot of spectacular cherry blossom trees come into my view while staying on the back of Neguseo. 
493Sakura trees are planted so that it encloses the entrance of the town and the road extending from there. Cherry blossoms are overflowing on one side of the main street and I can’t take my eyes away. 
494As I went straight ahead, I saw a big mountain. There are no cherry blossoms there, but a lot of tree make a deep green colour, and it is beautiful as it seems that the mountain is surrounded by cherry blossoms when looking at the scenery.
495
496“It is not in full bloom yet, but it’s still as beautiful as ever”
497
498Kuzuha-chan get off Neguseo and returned to the human form.
499The background of cherry blossom petals is a good match for her in Japanese clothes. Her figure and the background make a beautiful picture.
500Shaking her colorful fox ears, she looks back to us with a smile.
501
502“How is it Arge-san ? One of the many tourist destinations of the Republic of Yotsuba, this is Sakura-zaka! It is the famous cherry blossom trees that was brought all the way from the capital city Sakura-nomiya!”
503“Ha, I see. This is certainly amazing, isn’t it?”
504
505The name is different but I obediently accept it. This is really are a sight for eyes..
506It’s sort of a sight that I’m familiar with.
507Not to mention the main street where the cherry blossom surrounded, there are many people here wear Japanese clothes, the building is also made of wood, all of them have roofs made from tiles
508As if I came to the ancient capital of Japan. I almost forget for a moment that this is a different world.
509It feels like I came to the shooting studio of a TV drama. I want to walk around this town for sight seeing.
510
511In any case, it is dangerous riding a horse to enter the town. Thinking that way, I get off the Neguseo.
512When I stood on the ground, I felt that the scent of cherry blossoms was more intense. I feel like I’m getting into a nostalgic feeling.
513
514… I did not see cherry blossoms for years.
515
516At that certain time, I could not go outside anymore. The opportunity to see real flowers was  lost forever.
517There used to be someone who replace flower vase, but she never brought cherry blossoms in front of that room.
518Cherry blossoms are weak. Sometimes it withers as soon as it folds. I wonder how she is doing right now. Because she was a kind person. I hope she is doing fine in that world.
519It’s been a while since I saw raw cherry blossoms, more like a petal touches my cheeks and hair. Salted cherry blossom is delicious.
520
521“Arge-san, what’s wrong?”
522“Nothing, Kuzuha-chan, what do you want to do in this town?”
523“Tee hee hee, you will know when we reach there. Come on, let’s go, while hold hand.”
524
525Kuzuha-chan takes my hand with a cheerful appearance. Her right hand holds the reins of Neguseo, and her left hand hold mine.
526Because I don’t resist her hand pull, my feet will walk naturally, following Kuzuha-chan. Neguseo follows obediently to the drawn reins.
527
528Cherry blossoms and streets are reflected around our sight, and my own silver hair peeps at the edge.
529As I walked, the nostalgia that I felt at the entrance became stronger.
530I can feel “harmony” from the scenery here and there, and the whole scenery’s impression is still “nostalgic”. But I still haven’t smell soy sauce and miso yet.
531
532… If this place only have human beings are walking, I will feel that I’m really time slipping in my old world.
533
534People who walk and pass by are mostly human, but many aren’t.
535A man with a beast’s ear like Kuzuha-chan.
536A brown person who looked like human and reptile, whose body was covered with scales.
537A person whose elbows of both hands are on the wings of the birds, the knees to the head are of the humans and the feets are of the birds.
538Obviously, I am wandering with various races, not human beings in my world.
539It is a lot compared with the kingdom, or the rate of demi-human is high. Since I could not remember the name of this city a while ago, I would like to attach an interesting nickname from one end.
540I keep talking with Kuzuha-chan, I should stop that mischief.
541
542“There are quite a lot non-human races”
543“This is a sightseeing spot, people gather from various places”
544“Most people are in kimono … it seems they are wearing kimonos,”
545“There are shop to rent kimono”
546“It become more like a ‘Eiga-mura’.” (A movie village, like Toei Kyoto Studio Park)
547“Eiga-mura?”
548“Oh, no, never mind that.”
549
550I understand that Kuzuha-chan don’t know such a word, for her it is a different world story.
551Although Kuzuha-chan turned her head with my words, she immediately return to lead the way.
552Without falling behind, I’m walking in the main street surrounded by cherry blossoms. After a while, the end of the main street came into sight. And at the end of the road there was a building.
553A Japanese-style building with a mountain in the back, as if towering above it. It is a two-storey shop, not a flat shop like others.
554A large entrance that you can see at a glance that it’s a shop rather than a house, and a wooden sign on it. The letter on the signboard is not the language I know, but it is easy to decipher the meaning. I have that kind of skill.
555Almost at the same time I understood what it is written on the sign of the signboard. Kuzuha-chan told me.
556
557The Sakura-zaka signboard is “Sakura garden“ It is an Onsen inn!“
558“Ōbōna misa?”
559“It’s ‘Sakura garden’.”
560
561I am satisfied with what I could not do earlier and think about the reason why Kuzuha-chan returned here.
562
563… I wanted to take a bath.
564
565Even though I can become neat with my recovery magic, it is more pleasant to take a bath.
566Even so, I prefer to take a nap than a bath, I do not think there is any particular problem in the style of not having to take a bath just by removing dirt by the recovery magic.
567However, I understand the feeling that it is not tasteful. Indeed, Kuzuha-chan has always been forced to work.
568There are still a lot of things she want to do. Beside she just lost her mother, I don’t think she get over her sadness yet. Slowly soak in hot water may calm her down and make her feel better.
569
570“Is there any stable for Neguseo?”
571“Yes, of course it is!
572“Thank you. Neguseo, can you come over here?”
573“Oh, I understand”
574
575I understand from Kuzuha-chan’s guidance that she knows well about this neighborhood.
576Perhaps she has been here many times. Maybe she was with her family who is no longer here anymore.
577There’s something other than fatigue or injury. I feel like a nostalgic atmosphere from her. (Kuzuha’s heart still isn’t heal yet, MC used to know the nostalgic feeling of hurt)
578Well, I will leave her alone for now, if she want to talk I will listen. I pulled the reins of Neguseo according to her guide.
579
580Chapter 57: Large things.
581“…”
582
583“Well, Kuzuha-chan, there are days like that…”
584
585I tried to comfort her out of instinct, but she just hung her head. Well, it wasn’t like she was just hanging her head, more like she was burnt out entirely. Her light-brown hair, ears and tail, and even moreso, her clothes had lost all their color. Kuzuha-chan was experiencing that kind of shock.
586
587… Well, it is unreasonable.
588
589What the receptionists were telling us when we entered was pretty bad.
590
591“We apologize, but since yesterday, the hot springs have dried up. If you’re only looking to stay, it’s possible for us to accommodate you.”
592
593This situation would be unexpected for anyone, but even more so for the employees. It seems Kuzuha’s wishes won’t come true.
594
595Because of that, I took the Kuzuha-chan that was in a good mood a few minutes ago and sat her down on the sofa in the lobby. Seeing her like this was a bit interesting at first, but first of all let’s get rid of this depressing atmosphere. I feel really down.
596
597The other guests in the room weren’t hiding their disappointment at these circumstances, but Kuzuha-chan’s depression stood out the most in the room. Enough strangers were viewing the scene with looks of worry to the extent that Kuzuha-chan’s tension had worsened.
598
599“Well, it seems like we still can stay the night, and we can have a meal too. I can cleanse your body with my recovery magic, so let’s eat something delicious, sleep in a fluffy bed and cheer up a bit.”
600
601It’s not like me to comfort someone like this, but I can’t help but worry about her.
602
603Kizuha-chan came here to heal her wounds from the grief for her family, and I came here as a reward for my long journey… Making memories with your family. That’s the kind of thing this place is for, no?
604
605Such a place for housing all these emotions had just had it stolen not too long ago. To the others in the inn, their anticipation must have been small, but it was probably a huge deal to Kuzuha.
606
607“…no” (“no” in romanji japanese)
608
609“Eh?”
610
611When I was about to say something to her, Kuzuha-chan muttered something. Even to a vampire like me who has excellent hearing, I couldn’t hear a voice that soft. I thought it was just her thinking to herself so I reflexively dismissed it.
612
613“Wha– What’s with that!” (Nan… Nan Desu ~No!!!)
614
615“Kya”
616
617And Kuzuha-chan exploded.
618She stood up vigorously and both her drooping tail and animal ear stood up and she scream. To such a sudden movement, I will unintentionally leak out a cute scream.
619Kuzuha-chan, who had no motive till now, has become mad with emotions blowing out. She don’t care about the surrounding guests looking, she stomp with her small foot on the wooden floor.
620
621“I finally got here to deepen my companionship with my friend! This was supposed to be an event for deepening friendship! My mother said to me, 『First, you start by getting naked, and then you pin them down and you win!』That’s what I was told!”
622
623“Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”
624
625I feel like there was some kind of misunderstanding between parent and child. That mother of hers, what is she doing teaching that to such a young child?
626
627… So Kuzuha-chan was thinking about such things, huh?
628
629I was thinking she wanted to come here to rest and wash away her sentiments, but it seems that assumption was wrong.
630
631Connecting with me as a friend. I guess reasons like deepening friendship exist too.
632
633“Um, Kuzuha-chan, calm down a little…”
634
635“I can’t just calm down! I was looking forward to it so much! I wanted to wash Alge-san’s back and count numbers with her! Oh, of course, after getting out we would drink fruit milk and have a toast! That’s how it was supposed to be!” (Reader Patatoe’s note: you soak in the bath and count to 100 before you can get out)
636
637“Ah, I’m fine with fruit milk… as if. Look, you’re bothering the other customers.”
638
639Most of the people around us see us as friends while others look on at us in aggravation. I can feel those gazes if I focus but it makes me feel uncomfortable.
640
641Kuzuha-chan finally listened to my words and instantly shrank. When her ears and tail fold in her figure looks smaller.
642
643“I- I apologize for being rude!”
644
645Viewing the scene of Kuzuha-chan hanging her head down apologizing, I let out a sigh.
646
647…… She might be surprisingly lively.
648
649I thought about whether I should worry more or not, but I guess that’s how it is. I must have been worrying too much.
650
651Whether it is not saddening or not, of course it is different, but Kuzuha-chan seems to be more positive than I thought. As I am began changing my view of her, I also lightly lowered my head to the surrounding people.
652
653I’m not the one being noisy, but Kuzuha-chan is my friend. It would be nice to not make a bad impression on the crowd. We’re both pretty girls after all.
654
655“Fu fu fu, you two are good friends aren’t you?”
656
657Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me. Well, if you’re this loud, of course you’re going to get called out to by people. Me and Kuzuha are both small girls so it’s pretty easy to talk to both of us, so without caution I turned around and was instantly overwhelmed.
658
659Satsuki Iris
660
661… Big.
662
663Saying such a thing would be rude out loud here would be rude, that was close. I held back from saying anything so I’m safe.
664
665The person who appeared from behind was big in every sense of the word.
666
667First of all, her height. She was about 170cm… No, maybe a bit taller. She was about two heads taller than I was. As a woman, she was pretty large too.
668
669From the green kimono that wears down halfway and exposes the shoulder, her large chest seemed to be cramped in those clothes. Felnote was pretty big, but this lady is respectable in that sense as well.
670Still, she isn’t look fat, and her proportion is good, even if she wear other type of clothes we can still see that she have great body. (TN/Zana: I have no idea how to translate this line, honestly. Descriptive detail seems to be where I struggle. I just left the original translation in. それでいて全体の線は太くなく、振袖という身体のラインが出にくい服を着ていても分かるほど、プロポーションがいい。)
671
672Glossy black hair is long and decorated with red flower hair ties. Instead of bothering with her hairstyle, she just left is straight and decorated it.
673In her hand is a Japanese umbrella, and as a whole, she is a beauty in Japanese clothes. Although her chest has destroyed her Japanese clothes, it doesn’t leave a vulgar impression, but rather it looks like a result of having successfully dressed.
674
675“It’s big, isn’t it?” (Ōkīdesu wa ne)
676
677Kuzuha-chan, don’t say that here.
678
679I want to retort but I also understand why she said it. As strongly as I resisted saying that, the impression of hugeness she gives off is just as strong.
680
681Height. Breasts. But something else about her that’s large catches my eye. A coffin. A huge coffin is strapped to her back like a rucksack with a belt.
682The contrast between the large coffin on her back and her dress create a sense of inbalance, but she’s still splendid as a woman.
683
684“You are…”
685
686However, even putting aside all those features, there was something strong that caught my eye. Three things.
687
688Peeking out from behind her black hair were pointed ears.
689An impressive double tooth you can see when she smiles.
690Her graceful eyes are the color of blood red.
691
692“Ara, to encounter another vampire. How unusual.”
693
694“Another vampire.” The words that came out of her mouth finally confirmed my suspicions.
695
696She’s also a vampire, and such a big one, too.
697
698In various ways, that size was unfair.
699
700I wasn’t really annoyed or anything, but with an unreasonable feeling I touched my small breasts, sighed, and answered in an emotionless tone and looked up at her. Her smile widened, and my rival began to speak. (TN/Zana: Does a former guy really worry about stuff like this? This seems a little weird.) (Loli T.N: That’s why I said, give up already Arge, you are already a girl in both mind and body)
701
702“It’s pretty unusual for a vampire to be out at this time of day!”
703“No, the unusual one is you.”
704“No Satsuki-chan is a semi-mature day walker. Even so I still can’t take direct sunlight, it is very very bad go outside without an umbrella!” (This girl Satsuki call herself with her name-chan)
705“A-n-y-w-a-y-s, both of you are very cute! A silver haired loli vampire and a kitsune girl wearing Japanese clothes, so cute! Just looking at you too is enough, please allow me to accompany you for a while! No refusing!”
706“Wh- hold on a minute–”
707“What is this lady saying?!” (Na,na ndesu no kono hito)
708“Oh, had I not mentioned it until now? Satsuki Ichinose, that’s my name. Ah, I just remembered. Let’s go eat some dumplings, come on now!”
709Without being able to get a word in, me and Kuzuha were swept away with the mood all at once.
710I was worried about this world being a place without vampires other than me until now. But most of all, handling types like these is bothersome, so I instantly gave up and just went along with her.
711
712Chapter 58: The Coffin carrier, Satsuki-chan
713
714“But, well, it was a disaster. Although I came all the way to enjoy a bath with a lot of cute girls, to think something like this happen, the hot spring dried. Your young mistress must feel the same”
715
716Pick the fifth skewer on the plate, Satsuki-san says. 
717Right now, we have a meal in dinning room inside the inn, and we are standing in the back of the inn. Because, Satsuki-san is a vampire that can’t take direct sunlight.
718
719The surroundings, the dining room seats are quite busy and crowded. 
720You can still enjoy meals without entering a hot spring. Let’s enjoy a hot spring bath elsewhere. That would be okay. 
721It is the same for Kuzuha-chan who is next to me and is eating on the eighth line. Far away, Satsuki-san completely eat it. Oh, she took the ninth one.
722
723“No. Indeed I am wearing a maid outfit, but because this is the only clothing to wear, we are not a master-servant.” 
724“Oh, then you two are?” 
725“Well, uh …… Friends.”
726
727I still feel a little doubtful about the word friends, but Kuzuha-chan is so serious about it. I decided to say so. 
728
729“Is that so? It is wonderful … Fu fu fu. Either way, it’s a disaster. The hot spring here is famous.” 
730“Well, I didn’t expect this” 
731“It’s horrible, I was really looking forward to it”  (Hōre fuwane! Ta no himi ni hite ori ma hita no hi) (Kuzuha is talking while she is still eating)
732“Kuzuha-chan, let’s speak after swallowing, you have stain around the mouth”
733
734The hot spring she was looking forward to was dried up, I know she is upset, but that’s a bad manners. 
735Kuzuha-chan honestly nodded and began wiping her mouth with a handwrap.
736Satsuki-san looks at us and squirts enthusiasticly,
737
738“NICE … is scolded by a Silver Hair Loli Vampire … It is a nice reward … Oh, but if you can. I hope you will gently wipe out the mouth of that girl with 『Jeez … here, let me clean it for you, mistress』 … I mean … like Maid take care of her young mistress !!
739“Sorry, I do not understand what are you saying” 
740” … “  
741“Kuzuha-chan, I will not wipe it for you if you gets dirty on purpose.”
742
743Kuzuha-chan is looking at me. She was subtlely frowned. I will not do it because it’s troublesome. And because I do not know the meaning, I leave them alone and I bite the last bite of the third one. I pierced the dango gently with my pointed fangs which is the characteristic of the vampire and pulled out the skewer. 
744To the rich elasticity, sweet sauce. Chewing is more fun, biting sweetness of dango comes out.
745
746… No way, to think that you can eat dango in different world.
747
748Actually I was hoping for it because the impression when I got to the town was “Japanese style”, but I could really eat Japanese sweets as I expected. 
749It is Japanese style sweetness, familiar to Japanese people. It is simple and in some cases seems to be sticky, but it is still nostalgic. 
750Even though I have not been a long time in this different world, I want to eat this unique soy sauce based, its bitterness and sweetness is a terrific taste. (terrific don’t mean taste bad, but addicted)
751
752“The dango here are delicious, there’re shops that serve the same level of cuisine and sweets around here. And you can even look at the whole town filled with Sakura-zaka, This is the best place in the Republic.”
753“Sure, it is delicious, isn’t it?”
754
755I was satisfied, but Satsuki-san call for a second helping. (T.N: second don’t mean 2nd in Japanese but like “more”.)
756
757… She is big.
758
759It’s about her height. Not just torso length, basically  everything about her have different height than me. My height isn’t even reach her chest, if I want to talk with her I must always look up.
760Satsuki-san puts hers chest on the table so she can relax her shouder. On her chest, I can see a strange crest like in my stomach. It seems that the location of the crest is different depending on the individual.
761Of course, the coffin that she carried on her back is on the floor. She can not sit down otherwise.
762There are quite a lot of gaze gathered in the coffin which still gets distinct when placed on the ground, but she does not seem to care. I pick up the dango and talk to her.
763
764“Well, for Sakura-zaka view, this hot spring is an important tourist resource, so if we wait several days, the cause will be investigated and it will be settled.”
765“Oh, what is it?”
766“Well, the hot spring can’t sudden wither, so there must be reason for this, it quite troublesome for everyone so they will try to fix it as soon as possible.”
767“Well then, Kuzuha-chan, shall we stay at the inn until we can have an onsen bath?”
768“Okay, but staying long is …”
769“Well, I am not in a hurry.”
770
771It is true that I want to have a calm parasitic life quickly, but a strange person who kind enough to feed people isn’t easy to find.
772It isn’t bad to spend time and sleep here for a few days. It is only tiring to search for things that are not easily found. There is something I want to store.
773Because I have come so far, I think that it may be enough to take it slowly until I get into hot springs.
774
775“You girls really are good friends”
776
777Satsuki-san nods to me, Kuzuha-chan is also happy to tenfold. but I don’t really understand what she mean. (tenfold: don’t really mean 10 times but a lot)
778I do not have friends, I do not know at all, I do not know what kind of actions and words are suitable for friendship.
779I just want to make her feel satisfied. Because I don’t want to see her sad. Well, just leave it and drink tea. Oh, it’s green tea. This is nostalgic.
780Perhaps the citizen of the Republic are the people similar to Japanese. When I’m thinking about such a thing, Satsuki-san stood up and said.
781
782“Well then shall we go?”
783“Where are you going to?”
784“I said that 『if we wait several days』 , I can not wait for three days. If I can, I will settle it right now”
785“Resolve …  Can you do such a thing?”
786“Whether or not you can do. It is a pleasure to see at the scene. And if you can’t do it, it will be easier after investigating the cause”
787
788While replying, Satsuki-san carries a coffin.
789The treatment of the coffin is polite, and it seems that the inside isn’t empty as it seems.
790Nonetheless, it is hard to believe that anybody carries corpses. Perhaps the coffin simply content clothes to change.
791
792“Okay then. Because Satsuki-chan is happy to have a meal with two cute girls, Satsuki-chan will pay for everything.”
793
794I don’t know what her reason when she pay for us, apparently she seems to have some satisfaction.
795There is no loss if she give me something. In this case, there is something I must do. Show my gratitude by lower my head.
796This also seems to be a kind of gratification, but since Satsuki-san herself said “Eye Candy”, has she benefited with something. I don’t think I have anything to lend or borrow.
797Kuzuha-chan also lower her head next to me.
798
799“Thank you very much, uhm, about that. Satsuki-san, can I ask you something?” (Arigatōgozaimasu wa. Ē to, sono. Satsuki-san. Hitotsu, yoidesu no)
800“Well, what is it?”
801“I’d like to come along with you to investigate the cause of the hot springs withered … Do you mind?”
802
803… Surprising, isn’t it?
804
805Kuzuha-chan also want to go with her. Satsuki-san said that she will try to fix hot spring soon. But it is the words of the person we met for the first time.
806There is no confirmation and there is no basis. I am uncomfortable. I know she isn’t a bad person but can we trust everything she said. (T.N: I think Arge mean the info maybe wrong, not mean Satsuki try to trick her, and Arge don’t want to do anything un-certain)
807Since there is no reason to stop Kuzuha-chan, I should let her go with Satsuki-san.
808
809“Well … Because I only go back to the waterways to investigate the cause, there is no danger, so it will not be a problem if you come along.”
810“Yes, thank you. Arge-san, shall we go?”
811“What? … ah, yes”
812
813I never thought that I am also supposed to go with them.
814But if I think about it, Kuzuha-chan hopes to take a bath with me as soon as possible, so it is natural that she should take me. Just when I was going to go to bed with a soft, luxurious futon after a long absence, I was a bit perplexed.
815
816… It is inevitable.
817
818It seems that Kuzuha-chan already make her decision.
819Looks like I don’t have a choice here.
820Although I almost reflexively flushed, I also nodded. So I will follow obediently.
821
822“Well then, I’m paying and then we will go!”
823
824Cheerful smiling, Satsuki-san took out what looks like a wallet from the cleavage of her chest. I thought that it was big, but it is my first time to see someone who takes things out of there.
825
826“Ara… Did you want something?”
827“No, nothing at all”
828
829I only had a personal impressions, so I have nothing special to say.
830I confirmed the flatness of my chest and I felt that I could not understand. And I followed the two girls.
831
832Chapter 59: Withered canals
833
834“This is bad”
835
836Satsuki-san says with a light tone.
837In fact, the sight in front of me was terrible.
838The waterway made by wood fence is completely dry. It is true that the hot springs have withered, as the people in the ryokan said. (Ryokan = inn)
839
840“The hot spring of “Sakura garden” is directed from springs in the mountain, They will supply spring water through waterways, purifying the water,  reheating by magic and then providing it.”
841“Ha, is that so?”
842
843Kuzuha-chan is teaching me , but I am sorry, because I am not particularly interested. Rather than hearing that, I can tell just by looking.
844Unlike the mountains that crossed over the border. Right now, I’m walking on a beautifully maintained mountain road and climbing the mountains. Satsuki-san use an umbrella in the beginning, I and Kuzuha-chan are followed behind.
845I just use a mountain past the other day so I can understand the gratitude of having a proper path.
846The hard soil road which probably is maintained by magic, we can walk with a sense of security. And I can smell the wind and vegetation, I move forward with relaxed feelings.
847It might be nice to take a walk. I would rather take a nap than a walk though. Of course every day.
848
849“The cause seems more upstream.”
850“Well, if there is a problem on this side, even employees can deal well enough”
851“Yeah … Because there are demons and so on, person don’t often go upstream. So could we … No, we will go! We’re aiming for the summit! The hot springs are waiting for us!”
852
853… It’s fine if it’s not direct sunlight, right ?
854
855The sun has begun to set a bit, but it still is in the sky. Even so, Satsuki-san who goes ahead doesn’t seem to suffer from sunlight.
856She firmly put a Japanese umbrella and seem to avoid direct sunlight, but that’s it. Far from suffering, the tension is the highest among us.
857In the shadow made by Japanese umbrella, Satsuki-san mumble the rhythm almost like skipping, her blackhair is swaying. She looks like a child who enjoys rhymes of the falling rain, and there is a gap with her appearance.
858However, considering her personality it may well suit her. It seems that her tension is high, or the rhythm is good.
859
860“Even so, you are really completely fine walk under the sunlight !? Satsuki-chan is amazed. “
861
862While looking backwards, Satsuki-san is talking to me.
863The other side seems to have thought about my constitution. Because I was spoken to, I respond to a conversation.
864
865“Is it unusual ?”
866“Not just rare, it is an individual that exists only in legend, it is convinced that one who was also appealed by a demon or an elf will”
867
868Is there only in the legend?
869By the way, Felnote-san said similar things. No, I doesn’t mean that people with big breasts are thinking similar …
870People I’ve met so far were surprised without exception, so it seems that my existence like myself is a fairy tale existence as well. Fairy tale for inhabitants of the fantasy world . It is confusing.
871
872“Satsuki-san is not good if you get hit by the sunlight directly.”
873“I’d say I won’t becomes ashes, but I will be in a bad condition, and as long as I keep expose to sunlight, I will die in a day.” (T.N: well, if I expose to Sahara sunlight for an entire day, I will die too)
874
875Satsuki-san who seems to be outdoors type, to think it’s fatal if she keeps expose to sunlight.
876Vampires are terribly weak against the light of the day. It seems that it is the same in my world and this different world as well.
877The assumption that vampire need suck blood and is an inhabitant of the night are the same as well.
878
879“… Well then, isn’t it better if you wear clothes a bit more properly? I think it’s dangerous to expose it.”
880“Ara ara, but my chest is cramped and its inevitable, I can’t do anything about it, this swollen manju is”
881
882‘Fun’, Satsuki-san makes heart shape with her hand. It’s amazing because she has self-assertiveness even with her light action.
883It seems as if the chest itself is feeling cramped and still struggled. I’m afraid that it will slip out.
884There was also a height difference, I looked up to the big tits that also felt like the roof of the meat. I got a frank opinion, but I swallow it.
885
886“It’s big, right?”
887
888The fox loli next to me did not abide.
889Satsuki-san smiled happily rather than protest at Kuzuha-chan’s words.
890
891“No, absolutely not. Even if my chest are big but there’s nothing good. Other people may happy to look at my chest though”
892“But I still think your chest was nice …” (Sore mo dō ka to omoimasu wa) (Kuzuha)
893“Ah, it’s okay, small chest is my big favorite! It’s rather nice, gentle ups and downs, it’s wonderful!”
894
895I’m making a poker face, no … I had not heard anything. I have not heard it so leave it alone.
896Afterwards Kuzuha-chan keep talking to Satsuki-san, but we’re still climbing the mountain properly while talking. Because Kuzuha-chan is seriously keeping up with each other, I almost hear the story.
897
898As I climbed the mountain and went upstream, I thought that hot springs were flowing a bit, but no matter how much we climb it, the waterway aren’t humid.
899Way of water through which only the mountain breeze passes. It seems from yesterday that the hot spring withered, but I can see that it really stop in a sudden manner.
900
901The days gradually tilt, the sky changes from blue to evening colour. There is nothing like encountering a demon and the way is calm.
902And when the green of the mountain was illuminated by the light of sunset and changed colour, we found the cause of the withered waterway.
903Looking at the cause, Kuzuha-chan is the first one speak.
904
905“What does that mean?” (Dō iu koto,desu no)
906” ‘Fumu’, as expected, it doesn’t wither naturally?”
907
908The waterway was blocked by the soil.
909It’s not just buried in the soil. The clay wall that dams the hot spring was perfectly fitted to the waterway as if it had molded, and it was thick.
910Like a wall made of concrete, the waterway is completely blocked by a partition of soil colour.
911
912“It’s soil magic, this … If you can stop the flow of water like this, it’s natural that no hot water will go to the mountainfoot.”
913“That is true, but … whatever, how much hot water is there?”
914
915The fact that a partition is provided means that water is accumulated on the upstream side. It may be overflowing.
916But as we look to the other side of the blockade by the soil, the accumulated hot water is only reach my ankle. The sun is shining and the swaying water surface is beautiful.
917Even they don’t block here, no hot water will flow to the inn.
918
919“It seems that it doesn’t simple hot water drain. Let’s climb a little more”
920“Okay, I understand.”
921“…”
922“Arge-san, what’s wrong?”
923“Sorry, please wait a little”
924
925Stop the two who tried to go ahead and close my eyes.
926Blocking vision is to give consciousness to what you want to feel. Since there are many information entering from the eyes, concentrate on what you want by cutting it.
927
928Smell. It’s superior and has strengthened by skill. I will overlook if I do not concentrate, I will sniff it.
929From the upstream it will be smell of hot springs, it smells of water. But that’s not all.
930In my past like, I am not familiar with smell, but I can say that I’m used to sniffing after my reincarnation. This is …
931
932“The smell of blood … and that’s a lot too?”
933
934At a moment in doubt, a bad sign stroked my spine.
935
936“Wait … get down!”
937“Kya … !”
938“Wow!”
939
940From what I felt, I react right away. I pulled the two’s hands on my side and flew away from that spot.
941Both of them were surprised with my action, but they did not resist. Although Kuzuha-chan is surprised, she also kicks the ground himself, and Satsuki-san comes along without dropping her Japanese umbrella.
942A shadow was dropped where we had been only a few seconds before.
943
944Impact like a falling meteor has fallen. The ground that was well maintained was gouged and turned up. Surprised by the reverberating roar, birds fly at the same time from around the forest.
945The falling star sprung up the sand smoke that it caused in his landing, and it revealed its appearance.
946A large monkey with pure white fur. The height is about 2 meters, the face is red. It is like a bigger version of Japanese white monkey.
947The white monkey is gazing at our face, it looks like he has a bitter swallowed face.
948There is no word. However, I could see from the atmosphere that he still isn’t done by merely approaching.
949The big monkey is wary of us. The whole body is obviously nervous, and as soon as it decided something, it is about to jump over.
950Looking at such opponent, Satsuki-san opens her mouth as she was surprised.
951
952“It is unusual for Hakuen to attack people”
953“Stuffed?” (Hakusei)
954“Hakuen, Why don’t you feel a little painful to stuff?”
955
956Oh, she was calmly returned word.
957Hakuen. Writing in kanji would be “white monkey”. It is basically a warmth, cowardly or clever creatures that it is unusual to attack people.
958Although the Hakuen may have a vigilance, it is hard to approach, but there is no way they become threatening or willing to attack. It seems to attack if we do strange things. but it won’t do anything if we turn back as it is.
959
960Nonetheless, I can not do that. I came here to investigate why the hot spring withered.
961To be honest, I don’t care about it, but Kuzuha-chan will not be convinced unless we get some results.
962Actually, the sign of Kuzuha-chan is steep. It seems that she is making magical power and ready to fight at any time.
963Satsuki-san … is ? It looks like a casual look, but I do not know if she feel like fighting. It might be a mystery to that she will fight. At least she do not propose to return.
964
965“… Let’s talk for the time being, for both of you, please calm down a bit.”
966
967If he is intelligence at the least, I can communicate with him by language translation skills. If we don’t feel like fighting the other party, discussion is possible.
968The opponent hasn’t attacked in the current situation. Then, we might be able to have conversations.
969There is a possibility to battle and get injure. If that is the case, it will be easier to resolve by discussion.
970
971Well, I am the one with the highest ability to understand words in this.
972I felt troubled, but I took a step.
973
974Chapter 60: Reason Hakune Block waterway.
975
976“… uhm”
977
978Well, I tried taking the first step but I wonder how to call out. If I moves poorly and is regarded as hostility, Hakuen will attack soon. 
979Actually, the other side is increasing vigilance because I was a step forward. He staggered the pure white coarsely and slowed his posture much. 
980You can easily imagine if the rest of us just stepped in, the shrunken body would fly like a spring that lost the shackle.
981
982… Do you have an injury?
983
984White coat stands upstanding by hostility has a slightly reddish color. 
985The stagnant red that looks like a spot is not a pattern. It is dirty with blood. I know by smell. 
986The smell of blood that stimulating me just a while ago. One of the source is probably the Hakuen in front of us.
987
988An opponent is willing to fighting. Such a procedure is almost troublesome if you fight. 
989It is because there must be a reason that the side is in the disadvantageous condition still attempts to attack.
990
991“… Can you hear me?”
992
993Raise the scope of language translation skill and slowly speak words. 
994Stay focused so that we can deal with him as soon as he attack. I can avoid easily with my swift speed. 
995Hakuen isn’t attack and he begin to speak.
996
997“Get out of this mountain”
998
999A low, intimidating voice scrapes the leaves of the trees. A voice that you can talk for the first time and still understand that we has been rejected. 
1000The meaning of his word tell us shouldn’t go any further.
1001
1002Nonetheless, we cann’t just answer “Is it so?”. I am fine, but Kuzuha-chan will not be convinced. 
1003Even if it goes down to this, I must at least get satisfied reasons. So I choose neither to leave nor to go forward, I repeated words on the spot.
1004
1005“Why?” 
1006“… I know the purpose that you came, which is why I can not let you pass.”
1007
1008To know our purpose, which mean either you were watching us for a while or were doing something that could not be helped. 
1009If you were watching here from the beginning, I will notice by the time you climb here. Then it will be the latter.
1010
1011“You are the one who blocked the waterway, are not you?” 
1012“… In the meantime let’s get rid of the partitions, so I do not know if it makes sense.” 
1013“Why, did you know that we would come to find the cause in this way?” 
1014“There are some brothers who have been injured, and the number of hot springs is decreasing, one that should be given priority is self-evident”
1015
1016I see. Is that something like that? 
1017The reason why he is injured, but still has to stand in front of us. His companions are many, and they are injured heavier than he is. 
1018On top of that, the amount of hot water is decreasing. Then, even if they don’t block the partition here, hot water will not reach the mountainfoot anyway. It will be sucked by the ground halfway.
1019
1020“Vampires, in particular, are now subjects of fear to our colleagues … as the chief of the flock, I can not let you pass, you are a blood sucking race.” 
1021“Fear of vampire, is it?” 
1022“Even more, both hot water and my brothers have been robbed by the vampires.”
1023
1024Satsuki-san … No, it’s not like that. 
1025She is just coming this way to investigate why the hot spring withered, and if Satsuki-san is the cause in the first place, Hakuen will also attack without warning. It should be different vampires.
1026
1027“I do not really understand the circumstances … But if that is the case, will you let us pass if I’m able to make you feel better?” 
1028“What?” 
1029“I do not know what it is like to the hot spring, but if it is a wound, I can heal it by myself” 
1030“Such a thing”
1031
1032I start casting heal before he could decided to believe us or not. 
1033Since the other party is clearly wary of this, I know that his following words will be either denied or suspicious, so I will crush them before he has a chance to talk. With that intention I will heal him, the same with tell him to eat his own words.
1034
1035“Pain pain go away”
1036
1037The spoken word converts the magical power and produces the result. 
1038I do not know how much the Hakuen in front of me is damaged. But even if the size of the injury is unknown, it does not matter if it is my recovery magic. 
1039It will heal everything, be is an injure or sickness or whatever, and it has a bonus to clease dirt. And it will take an immediately effect. Pains and wounds suddenly disappear.
1040
1041The Hakuen is amazed with his half opening mouth, to the change of healing in his body. 
1042It is like a monkey that was baited by other monkeys at the zoo, and right now he is making a Pokān face. Well, he is a monkey. 
1043Oswald-kun was like a mixture of bull and human, but this Hakuen is a completely large monkey. They were all had a huge size that I can’t treat them as normal.
1044“how is it?” 
1045“… I … am … cured ?” 
1046“Yes, if there are still injured friends of your, we will cure them all as well” 
1047“Why are you doing so?” 
1048“uhm … for my friend ?”
1049
1050There are many troublesome things, but it is true that Kuzuha-chan count on me. 
1051She also make clothes and lead the mountain path. 
1052I guess Kuzuha-chan is surely saying “such things is normal as friends”. In this case because I am a friend, I am doing something for her as well. Even if it is the main reason is “I want to finish without making a commotion as much as possible because it is troublesome”.
1053
1054“…Really ?”
1055
1056A word that sounds like thinking something. He carefully looked at himself to ascertain his body.
1057I am feeling less tense and go back one step. When the two from behind get the meaning it’s okay now, the two came.
1058
1059“Are you alright, Arge-san?” 
1060“Yeah … I think that it was transmitted without enmity for the time being” 
1061“I also have a language translation skill, but it is rare to unravel words of animals and demons” 
1062“Because I’m trained”
1063
1064Yup. Specifically Loli-gramp is recommendit it. It is convenient as it is just today’s convention. 
1065Without this skill, I cann’t keep talking with others. In that case, what you first do after incarnation would have been study of the words. 
1066I did not want to do such a troublesome thing so it was a good answer. Comfortable BANZAI (T.N: Banzai is like cheer)
1067
1068“… Follow me. No … Please follow me.”
1069
1070Hakuen turns his back and walks. 
1071It is a favor that I suggest, so I will not refuse. Since the two in the back don’t know his words, “I am going to guide you, let’s go” and I followed Hakuen while telling them.
1072I can handle things like injures. I do not know about hot spring, but Satsuki-san may find something to solve. 
1073Since returning here will leave an incomplete combustion feeling. It will be nice if there is something we can do about the hot spring.
1074
1075Chapter 61: Vampire I should remember.
1076
1077“This is bad”
1078
1079The word Satsuki said at the time we entering the mountain. 
1080I had heard that his friends was hurting, so I expected that a pretty good number was hurt. However, it does not mean that there are so many. 
1081A wounded flock that is hard to find an intact Hakuen. The hot spring, which probably gathered for injured Hakuen was still shallow and dirty with blood. A blood pond hot spring, what a word gulp and disappears in the corner of my head. 
1082Hakuen, who brought us up, calm the flocks which made a fuss from a sudden visitor.  
1083
1084“Calm down, this vampire came to cure the wounds, it is different from her.”
1085
1086He is admonished with a calm tone, and the flock becomes quiet. 
1087As soon as I follow the words of Boss, I heard that control is quite clear. The tight air is not quiet, but the sign of hostility disappeared.
1088
1089“What is this … just how many of you are injured?” 
1090“There seems to be some reason, but … okay, I’ll cure you all.”
1091
1092Although it is said that this is the work of a vampire, what is the reason for doing so far? 
1093There are many ways if you only want blood. In the first place, I think that humans and Demi – Human’s blood are more delicious than these Hakuens.
1094The reason I think so because I myself think 『the blood of a human or similar race has a delicious smells』, so other vampires may prefer the blood of animals or something ? 
1095But even so, this is terrible. Some have even arms, feet, even eyes missed. As Satsuki-san feel overwhelmed, she take a deep breath and said. 
1096
1097“I think it would be tough if you treat this number with magic. Arge-chan, will you OK?” 
1098“Yes, there is no problem.” 
1099“Hmm, then shall I go to see the hot springs?”
1100
1101Shaking the big coffin, Satsuki-san left us. 
1102It will be okay to leave it to her as she embarks herself from the research of hot springs. Attually, I went to see, I do not know the details of the hot spring system in detail.
1103
1104… I will do what I can do.
1105
1106Take a step. I know what I have to do, so I will not be impatient. Since flock already calm down, I slowly look around the surroundings. 
1107Hakuens in front of my eyes are obviously wary of me. Okay, they are still alive. If they aren’t dead, I can save everyone. 
1108Breathe in and draw the palm towards countless Hakuens. It takes time to get close to cure one at a time and I must also cure the anxiety of Hakuen. So let’s heal all at once. 
1109If you use recovery magic for a wide range, magical power will be consumed more, but my magical power is strengthened to the limit with skill. It will not be a problem if it does not occur frequently.
1110
1111“Pain pain go away”
1112
1113The usual word. But I am in a world where this word does not exist. 
1114A world where alot the big monkeys get injured in front of me. 
1115And what’s going to happen is also common sense in this world. 
1116Words persist with magical power, and it develops as magic. A ring of healing spreads, it will generate their blood and mend their wounds.
1117
1118… Indeed, it is not possible to clean the hot springs.
1119
1120If it is a curse, you can cancel even an inanimate object. but if it is not a living thing, recovery magic will have no effect. Even remove dirt is included in recovery magic, but blood pond hot springs still remain as it is.
1121
1122“Amazing, the recovery magic of Nushi”  (ヌシ :  Nushi | I have no idea what it mean)
1123“Okay, uh … enchō-san” 
1124“Enchō!?”
1125“Well, I don’t know your name”
1126
1127The Hakuen who brought us up here, that is the leader of the flock. 
1128I do not know the individual name, nor have I been told. And since it is long and troublesome to call Hakuen chō (T.N: chō = leader), Enchō is the head of Hakuens.
1129It is easy to understand and easy to call. It is my self-confident work like with Neguseo.
1130
1131Encho-san had a delicate face for a while but eventually dropped his shoulders.
1132
1133“… Well, I hope you like it” 
1134“Okay then, just call me Encho”
1135
1136I got his consent, so I will call him without hesitation. 
1137He seems to be pleased with flattery. Neguseo, should I flatter him a little like call him 『nice and respectable human』. Well, neither of Neguseo or Encho are a human.
1138
1139Hakuen loose their vigilance, and stare at me as an unbelievable thing happen. 
1140It isn’t a good feeling to be stared forever. I was also unwind a bit. Haha, I got tired.
1141
1142“Arge-san, about that, there’s something strange” 
1143“What is it?” 
1144“This flock, they have no female and children” 
1145“… It seems that there are no children indeed, do you sure there’s no females?” 
1146“Yes, I only smell male”
1147
1148I guess it’s true that Kuzuha-chan will not tell a lie. I do not know the difference between the smell of male and female. 
1149It is a question from Kuzuha-chan, but I can talk with Encho-san. I start talk to him when he is still subtle in his neighbor.
1150
1151“Encho-san, there seems to be no female and children” 
1152“Oh, oh …… Most of the female and children were taken away, and a few remaining hidden behind the mountains” 
1153“Is that kidnaping also the vampire’s work?” 
1154“That’s right, the name is Elsee.”
1155
1156Elsee. I try to repeat, but of course I don’t know that name. 
1157Satsuki-san is a vampire that we just met and become her acquaintance today. The world itself, no matter where I go, I don’t know anything about this world yet.
1158
1159Just remember that there are such a vampire. It is not really necessarily, because I may never meet her as I travel. 
1160I don’t know the purpose, but keep it in one corner of memory as an annoying and dangerous person.
1161
1162“Oh, Kuzuha-chan, do you know Vampire Elsee?” 
1163“No, I don’t know”
1164
1165Yup. Well then “I do not quite understand but it seems to be a troublesome person” decided.
1166
1167“Encho-san, do you know why Elsee did this?” 
1168“Come on, the original goal was obviously our “women and children”, we stopped the hot spring not only because we need to treat our wound but also because we were dissatisfied with her purpose, she hurt us and robbed our children and women.”
1169“Ha, I see.”
1170
1171Is this a result that they fought and lost against that vampire and get injuries as by-products, or that vampire plan to hurt the males from the the begining.
1172What purpose Elsee need for Hakuen’s female and child for is mysterious, but the presence of female and children is essential for the survival of the herd. It would be natural for the Hakuen to get angry. It is quite natural as a response.
1173
1174And that hatred is deep-rooted by Encho’s tone. 
1175The other Hakens also obviously made himself stiff at the moment he heard the word “Elsee”. Is the reason why it is fear, anger, hatred, all of that?
1176
1177In any case, I can not take care of that. Recovery magic will erase only scratches, curses, dirt. 
1178Let’s them manage on their own.
1179
1180“There seems to be underlings who has stopped the hot spring, who seems to have scooped the female and children under Elsee’s command, some of them may still remain.” 
1181“What … What is that annoying story!”
1182
1183Kuzuha-chan heard the explanation and made her face red like steam would come out. 
1184There is a word for angry hair, but she is angry with the fox’s ears pointing towards the heaven. All three tails are completely stand and reveal her overwhelming anger. 
1185For her, hot springs are the purpose she came here. and a big matter that she can not believe is Haken’s family members are separated from others. With both of them, it is no wonder that she get angry like this. 
1186But, that person isn’t here anymore. She is angry but there is no place for that. With a soothing sense, I decided to call Kuzuha-chan.
1187
1188“Kuzuha-chan, let’s calm down. Let’s go to those hot springs, Satsuki-san may find a solution” 
1189“… Yes, I see.”
1190
1191The hot springs are not completely dried. Although there’s still bit of water flowing. 
1192Did Satsuki-san find out the cause for how Elsee reduced the amount of hot springs spewing? 
1193In order to confirm, I decided to take Kuzuha-chan and join Satsuki-san.
1194
1195Chapter 62: The source of the curse
1196
1197“Well, this isn’t something I can do, for the moment.”
1198
1199Satsuki-san lowered the coffin, and was calming there. She twisted her neck, and her arms folded to support her heavy chest.
1200Her point of sight seems to be the root of hot springs. Hot water is spilling from here on the ground. From what I see, only a small amount of hot water spill out.
1201For the time being, I tried to approach and call out to her, but Kuzuha-chan is faster than me.
1202
1203“Well, Satsuki-san, cann’t you fix it?”
1204“Oh, yes, that’s right …. It’s a little difficult, it seems that the territory itself is cursed.”
1205“The territory ?” (地脈 Ji myaku)
1206“Oh, you don’t know Arge-chan. The territory, the dragon, the spirit (地脈、龍脈、霊脈 : Ji myaku, ryū myaku, rei myaku) … There are several ways of saying, but it is about the flow of magical power being stretched around the world”
1207“Ha”
1208“The surroundings are clear and the flow is clear. And high-quality hot springs spring up depend on the attributes of the water, but the flow seems to have been cursed and stagnated.”
1209
1210I do not understand the meaning of the word. I do not fully understand what magical power is in the first place.
1211According to Satsuki-san’s words, it seems that magical power in this world is not only living but also the world itself. And here is the fact that the flow of magical power is getting worse due to the curse.
1212Regardless of whether you understand the mechanism, if the trouble was caused by a curse, it would be my area. Ha, it’s still troublesome though.
1213
1214It is not like my magical deplete or anything. It just if I use magic, it makes me tired. Because I do not want to get tired, I will reluctantly devote magical powers.
1215Because only the curse is the opponent, let’s use the magic to cure it. Maybe even a little magical consumption will be enough.
1216
1217“Flow back to original”
1218
1219Use an appropriate words as a trigger.
1220Magic is activated as usual, miracles as commonplace occur in this world.
1221I do not know if it is a spirit or dragon, but since magic does everything, I do not need to know about it. The sun sets in the distance, the power of magic will cleanse the earth.
1222
1223“Wow!”
1224
1225– There was a sense that something seemed to have broken off.
1226That sensation is accompanied by numbness to the palm of my hand. I take my hand slowly and watching it, a reddish pattern was sprinkled on the palm of my hand, it quickly disappeared.
1227
1228… Is it a curse?
1229
1230When the pattern disappeared, I felt an unpleasant feeling like stroking my spine with a fingertip. That bad feeling is a curse. It is my first time to be cursed. But I somehow know it’s a curse.
1231When I’m trying to dispel the curse of spirit, another curse was putting on me. It wasn’t effective because I have high tolerance though.
1232
1233“Arge-san !?”
1234“I’m alright, looks like it was a powerful curse?”
1235
1236I do not know who vampire Elsee is, but it seems her personality is bad enough to put a ‘time bomb’ curse along with spirit curse to stops flow.
1237Nonetheless, this is a solution to the hot spring problem. If the curse is removed and the hot water will returns.
1238I looked at the source of the hot spring, and I noticed I was wrong.
1239
1240“… Hmm?”
1241
1242I don’t understand what happened. As for hot springs, only a small amount has come up.
1243It is the same as before. Nothing changes, it remains cursed.
1244
1245“This is also …  They put such a troublesome thing”
1246“Do you understand, Satsuki-san?”
1247“It seems that it is being constructed, that a different curse will activate when you trying to dispel it. And it refuses perfect dispellation by peeling the surface layer of the curse with it as a starting point.”
1248
1249An answer that seems to be troublesome, It’s a multi-layer curse and the curse will keep coming back if we only dispel surface layer.
1250
1251“It’s an unique curse that makes people tired … I’m polite enough to be amazed. But this is the most troublesome when we are in a hurry. Who is it, who made such a stupid serious curse?”
1252“I heard that vampire’s name is Elsee.”
1253“Ah…”
1254
1255Satsuki-san looked as if she was amazed, or as if she gave up, she look up to the sky. It is a state that make her chest shaking. As expected, this person.
1256Satsuki-san eventually dropped her tilted head, sighing. Try to hold the chest swinging and shaking with her arms.
1257
1258“Should we call this a calamity or a disaster?”
1259“Did you know her?”
1260“It’st more like I heard it rather than knowing, She’s a dangerous vampire with a prize money from the Landsknecht Higher Association” (ランツ・クネヒト: Rantsu kunehito)
1261“Lanch Clione?” (Ranchikurione)
1262“Landsknecht, people who provide military strength with money. They mainly undertake the extraordinary strength of the country, exploring the danger zone, escorting the merchant, etc. The association manages the people, they are recruiting people by placing prize money on dangerous existence.” (T.N: Let just call it a bounty system)
1263
1264Talking about it, it seems to be mercenaries and things like money earnings.
1265Victims will use their money to ask association, and place prize money on Elsee. Well, this one is ABSOLUTELY troublesome one. Let’s not engage even if we meet.
1266
1267Decide the response to the dangerous person not yet seen, concentrate consciousness again. I need to try again, without spare time.
1268This curse was made like refusing people to remove it. And it didn’t go through once. Even if it is troublesome, I should be able to deal with it in full power.
1269I can’t use a small hand like that used by the other side (T.N: small hand = cheap trick). So I will deal with it with my all power.
1270
1271Concentrate consciousness slowly, like dropping the head in the water.
1272I know how to put a lot of magical power. Just to think strongly. I am not good at it, but now is the time I need it so it can not be helped.
1273Sounds where hot springs spring. The leaves trembled and the insects of the night cried out. There is a voice from Kuzuha-chan as if it pounds a wave of sound.
1274
1275“Arge-san, you don’t need to push yourself …”
1276
1277I ignored it because it is not impossible. It’s just irresistibly troublesome, I just want to end it right here and now.
1278There is no point in raising both hands. It is a matter of preparation. Spoken the words again to the cold air.
1279
1280“To the flow, return to normal”
1281
1282With my words spoken, magic was created again.
1283As a matter of course, there is a rebound, but no repetition comes. I endured it this time. There is a feeling like being stroked again, and I will do it.
1284When I exhale a breath and look at the result of magic, it seems that there was some effect. A loud noise was heard, and the hot water that springed increased.
1285However, it is hard to say that it is complete yet. The hot springs are gushing from the ground, and rocks in the surroundings usually have color change as a proof that there is hot water there.
1286A mountain breeze blew as if to laugh, and the head dress was disturbed. I fix it to consciously not to disturb my heart.
1287
1288… Even with full effort it is suppressed to this point.
1289
1290My recovery magic and magical strengthening are raised to the maximum skill value. In other words, in this world, I can definitely use the healing power with the greatest effect.
1291Even in the world where magic is commonplace, the power that just makes a face like everyone has rounded eyes and looked at even miracles. It deals with such power, but it is prevented.
1292
1293It is not completely disabled. Little by little, the power of curse is weakening.
1294Cursing can be completely eliminated by repeating the dispel several times. I do not know how many times it will be.
1295
1296“Looks like it will take time. Please wait a little longer.”
1297
1298I talk to Kuzuha-chan, who is silented behind me. Eh, what was she squatting and stroking her ears for ? Did she did not reply because result was just that. (T.N: It can be said that Kuzuha is Face Palm)
1299There is a result, I also still have magical power, so I don’t have to rush.
1300
1301“Stop, Arge-chan”
1302
1303Satuski-san tell me to stop when I’m going to try again. I turned towards the direction in which the words came. Before I knew, Satsuki-san was coming near. Eyes match eyes.
1304We have the same color but she looks warmer than I am.
1305Satsuki-san smiled and poke a finger. She is tall but her fingertips still slim peculiar to women.
1306
1307I see what her finger indicated for the time being. There was something she was carrying with her all the time.
1308Black, now a coffin laying on the ground. Its existence dissolve in the darkness of the night.
1309I was confused without understanding the meaning. Taking my hand, Satsuki-san made a deep smile.
1310
1311“Let us help you, please rest for a moment?” (T.N: I’m sorry for the confuse. It should be like this) (And she really said ‘us’ not ‘me’)
1312
1313Who need to rest? Me? (Arge)
1314
1315Chapter 63: The identity of the coffin
1316
1317“Oh, what does it mean to rest? …” 
1318“Yes, because I can see a little impatience” 
1319“impatience?” 
1320“I understand that your friend is important, but you don’t need to rush so hard .Would you calm down a bit?”
1321
1322I do not understand the meaning of the word she told me. 
1323Even if she told me that I’m impatient, I do not plan to do that. I don’t like to see Kuzuha-chan sad … How is it supposed to be important? I do not understand. Because I don’t have anything important to me in my past life.
1324Her hand reach me again. Before I can respond to it, she rub my forehead. She talk to me with an anxious voice before I could ask.
1325
1326“Hey, you have a hard face again”
1327“Oh, is that so …?”
1328“Yes, let’s rest now.”
1329“… In ‘that’ place?”
1330
1331Of course, that is a coffin brought by Satsuki-san.
1332It certainly does not fit for her size.
1333I have heard that a vampire sleeps in a coffin. It may be so in another world.
1334Even I like taking a nap, but when you told me to stay in bed actually makes me hard to sleep.
1335Since the inside of the coffin which I see occasionally on television seems quite fluffy, maybe I will feel good if I try to sleep in it. But it is slightly strange to be in a coffin as it is alive. It seems to be very stuffy when the lid is closed.
1336
1337First of all why would she advice taking a rest here?
1338Of course I would like to take a rest if it’s okay for me, rather I would like to stay asleep everyday and want to live in my belief that “I don’t want to work seriously tomorrow”.
1339But considering the circumstances, I can not do that. Because I am the only one who can solve the curse in front of us.
1340
1341Satsuki-san says that I have a difficult face, but I really know. Perhaps my face right now wasn’t the usual face. I think so.
1342Perhaps my present face is much more difficult face. 
1343Satsuki-san descended from the side as I’m still in doubt.
1344
1345“Alright, Arge-chan … Uhm, sorry, please wait a bit.”
1346“Oh, yes … I understand.”
1347“You are a good girl, aren’t you?”
1348
1349Looks like Satsuki-san tried to hug me but she just smiled with a wink. I was surprised. I thought I gonna be crushed by her chest.
1350Satsuki-san start walking a few steps away from me and go to the front of the coffin.
1351
1352“It’s time to open the shop. ♪ Pa pa pa ka pa ~tsu~tsu♪!”
1353
1354Although that isn’t suitable for that mature appearance, she open the lid of the coffin while singing.
1355From here you can’t see the inside of the coffin.
1356But even without approaching, I was able to know the contents. The coffin wasn’t empty and it wasn’t a luggage.
1357
1358Satsuki Iris
1359
1360A thin hand extends from the coffin. That hand spread small white fingers grasp the coffin. She raise her body from the coffin.
1361It was a gold color that appeared in the darkness of the night.
1362A girl with blond hair colored with blue flower decorations that similar to Satsuki-san’s red flower decorations. Her shoulders are also exposed like Satsuki-san.
1363Eyes are red, ears are pointed. Apparently she seems to be a vampire.
1364It is almost like a white kimono that the dead wear. There is little ornament, hence blonde and red eyes, and blue flower decoration.
1365She is also look like a ghost
1366She was a heterogeneous, but she is a very pretty girl so far.
1367
1368“Hmm”
1369
1370A vampire girl who appeared like just resurrect from the deathbed, handed her right hand to Satsuki-san. On the back of her hand is the same emblem as on my lower abdomen and Satsuki-san’s chest.
1371The extended hand is taken as if to say that there was to be there from the beginning and she goes out of the coffin.
1372She is small and tall, … just a bit taller than I am. She is wearing an atmosphere that can be said to be strange. As if she blends in the darkness of the night without feeling uncomfortable, though she has a bright color head and eyes, and white kimono.
1373Her red eyes and a pointed ears standing at night, seeing the dark. Without a mistake, that girl is a vampire. And I can also see a white fang from her lips with a glance.
1374
1375If Satsuki-san is big and tender, she is small and sharp.
1376Black hair and blond hair.
1377Large and small patterns.
1378Big tits and small tits.
1379It seems to be in the opposite, so why does they seem to be harmonious.
1380A girl with blond hair, unlike Satsuki-san, shook her short hair and turned her red eyes toward me. Even though it is the same color, why is the glow different so much?
1381Satsuki-san’s look was warm, but her eyes have little temperature. It is a bit different from cold. It is an unresolved eyes like a prideful one.
1382While turning her line of sight towards Satsuki-san, she begin to speak.
1383
1384“Satsuki. This girl is?” (Satsuki. Kono-ko wa?) (Iris call Satsuki without -san)
1385“It’s Arge-chan, that fox girl is Kuzuha-chan.”
1386“Fuun, I see …Oh well. If Satsuki is taking you, I don’t have to worry” (Fūn. Sō, sokka. Mā ī yo. Satsuki ga tsure terunara shinpai nai ndarou)
1387“I guarantee them … yeah, they were a very good lily couple …!”
1388“Yeah yeah, I’m sorry that I can’t see it. So it seems that this place is not the ‘garden of cherry blossoms’.”
1389“We are here to investigate because the hot springs had withered.”
1390“I see, Does it seem like it can be fixed?” (Naruhodo. Naori-sō?)
1391“Yeah, thanks to the magic of Arge-chan, we can break a layer of this curse. I want you to help her.”
1392“I see”
1393
1394Mutual understanding is fast. Even if Satsuki-san does not present details, girls will accept as they do. The conversation bounces naturally, seems calm and is the shortest.
1395From that perspective, it can be seen that the two of them haven’t talked after Satsuki-san arrived to this town.
1396This is not the case. For another vampire suddenly appeared, I can’t take a reaction other than surprises. Although I’m able to settled down, Kuzuha-chan still seemed to be unable to recover from surprise, making her eyes black and white,
1397
1398“Well, uh … that coffin, there was a person inside …?”
1399“There are no people inside, it’s a vampire inside”
1400“No, that isn’t what I’m talking about!”
1401
1402If I could understand it for the time being, I want you to understand this time next time.
1403Sending words and gaze in that sense, Satsuki-san stroked the breast as if he could say huge, introduced a blonde vampire.
1404
1405“This girl is Iris-chan, my family. And during the day, she is sleeping in the coffin『Protect pretty flower』that I carry around”
1406“Iris Ichinose. Nice to meet you”
1407
1408Iris-san, is it? The year seems to be close to me and Kuzuha-chan, but the vampire will not be as old as she seemed. Even I have this appearance but I am zero years old.
1409She is calm in the atmosphere and she seems to be older, I think that it is okay with the establishment.
1410Although it is said to be a family, she looks are quite different. From the color of the hair, the two are the opposite.
1411Since vampires in this world are probably naturally occurring types of living things in the first place, I feel that it is not the same as the family Satsuki-san says. I feel like she is close like a sister.
1412
1413Contrary to Satsuki-san who is active, Iris-san slowly shook to show the emblem on the back of her hand.
1414Iris-san walks here with a gentle step. It’s a relaxed movement as I and Kuzuha-chan can afford to redeem myself again.
1415
1416“I see, are you dealing with that selfish blooded princess’s selfishness?” (Naruhodo. Ano kyūketsu Hime-sama no wagamama ni tsukiatteru no ka)
1417“Huh?”
1418“Nothing.”
1419
1420Iris shakes her head lightly. Instead of denying, it is a gesture and voice like to admonish that you do not have to worry.
1421She settled down her wrist to her lips with calm movements.
1422
1423“Hmm”
1424
1425Shortly speaking out, Iris bite on her wrist. I thought that it looked like something, soon I understood what it was.
1426That is similar to the movement that cut myself when I use Blood Arms. She bite her wrist and makes a self-injury movement.
1427From the skin she took off her mouth, blood spill out from it. The pure white skin is colored with the color of blood, and color the white kimono. As expected. But why?
1428
1429“Well then, I guess I’ll help you out” (Sore jā, tetsudau to shiyou ka na)
1430
1431Iris who smiled like a mischievous child, and looked a bit like Satsuki-san.
1432
1433Chapter 64: What the blood produces
1434
1435“Kusu … Ei ♪”
1436“Er … …. Oh!”
1437
1438Sudden movement. I could not react to the action as I was distracted by the blood.
1439Iris-san’ wrist is pressed to my mouth. I felt the taste of blood coming in, I swallow the saliva and blood overflowing as a reaction.
1440By the way, I have not drunk blood for a while. The other ‘s intention is a mystery, but should she let me drink? Thinking about such things, my body became hot.
1441
1442“Fu~u …!?”
1443“Yes, drink it and drink more”
1444“Hey, what are you doing to Arge-san !?”
1445“It’s okay” (Īkara īkara)
1446“But, it looks like she suffer! Even Arge-san is a vampire, aren’t you doing too much ?”
1447“It’s okay, she just feel great.”
1448
1449I know the words to hear. It is a flow that Kuzaha-chan protested and Iris-san denied it.
1450But I can not afford to pay attention to that, think about the meaning of Iris-san’s word or say to Kuzuha-chan that I’m OK.
1451My lips are already open, blood will flow into my mouth without difficulty. Hot liquid falls like stroking the tongue and throat.
1452And I myself will not refuse it. Accept blood with natural movement, rather suck on the wound. I will just let it flow in my throat.
1453Both FeloNote and Chrome are different. Iris-san‘s blood is very hot and I think that it will burn.
1454Well, it’s not like I get burn. But it is hot. It’s hot, somewhat sticky, seems to burn my mouth, throat and stomach.
1455
1456“Don’t sweat over it, swallow it to the back of your stomach properly.”
1457
1458I’m nodding to words heard at my ear. Even without being told, I have already done so with nature.
1459I swallow the blood that has a heat like grilling without a second thought. My body is heated from the core to the extent that it is annoying even with the maid’s clothes I am wearing.
1460The swallowed blood strokes my whole body from the inside. Cumber, and the back of my stomach are pulled down, pain that can take both pain and itching.
1461I want more, more. Instead of thinking, I obeyed as a mere desire.
1462
1463After a long absence of blood sucking, I am completely absorbed in the blood of my partner, and I continue drinking the her blood.
1464I was seen by Kuzuha-chan, I behaved badly in front of a child like her.
1465
1466“Chi … yuu … ji … yuru … ruru… wa, um ku~tsu …!” (T.N: just like moaning so I can’t really translate)
1467“A ha, good child♪” (A ha~tsu, ī ko ♪)
1468“um … mm … koku …”
1469
1470A slender and soft thing strokes my hair. My body gets hotter and steadier. when I gets stroked, I feel strange and relaxing.
1471I can relax my mind and finally remember my breath. I was absorbed in sucking blood enough to forget to breathe.
1472
1473“Puha”
1474
1475Pull my red sticky fangs and release the lips from her skin.
1476The surrounding air is cold even the inside of my body that was burning. With that feeling, the back of my stomach turned hot again. I wonder what this feeling. I do not dislike it, but I get a bit of a thrill.
1477
1478“Would you please be patient for just a little longer ?”
1479“Fu, a~a, e ~e … ?”
1480“Blood boost”
1481“Au u~u !?”
1482
1483Words Spoken by a mean smile. The moment it invaded my ear, the back of my body got boiled.
1484Heat runs like stirring my whole body nerve with a sense similar to numbness and itching.
1485Even my breath was burned in an instant, and my eyes glow. My body losing power and falling to the ground.
1486
1487“Fumi ~yauu … !”
1488
1489I can feel the gritty ground touching my butt over the skirt. A terrible high-pitched voice came out like not being myself.
1490
1491… What is this …?
1492
1493As the blood goes around, my body reacts. I feel like someone stroking my whole body just by rubbing clothes, trembling, shaking.
1494I can not even question her what she was done. I can’t even move my throat. What is this, me, what …?
1495
1496“Arge-san!”
1497
1498Kuzuha-chan runs up and hugs me.
1499By doing so, my body gets hot again, but Kuzuha-chan is not aware of it, and I also don’t have the power to appeal.
1500Just a weird voice seems to leak, which seemed very embarrassing. I desperately endure the squeal that comes up from my stomach.
1501Kuzuha-chan stared at Iris-san while hugging me, trying to calm me down by the cold night winds.
1502
1503“Do not bully Arge-san, please!”
1504“Fiddling …  Oh, well, can you see that? She is okay, I’m not bullying her”
1505“Iris-san, the lack of explanation will not pass”
1506“Yeah yeah. And it is better for Satsuki to wipe her nosebleed and stop your recording magic before saying that?”
1507“What are you talking about?! Satsuki-chan doesn’t do anything disappointing! This is a growth record!”
1508“You’re totally odd … well … it’s kind of like you, to mess with pretty girls … it’s a good thing to be cute.”
1509“Waah, A ha ha ha …”
1510“And … Arge, painful? Please be patient a little, and then the boost will take effect”
1511
1512I do not know the meaning of the words she told.
1513Even even the conversation of three people in the first place, although I can hear it, I can’t afford to talk right now. The barely understood thing is that Kuzuha-chan intimidates and Iris seems to treat it as much.
1514
1515Sending air into the body many times and repeating a rough breath. I exchange cold and hot air repeatedly, and calm down my body and mind.
1516Occasionally Kuzuha-chan’s tail strokes the body and it make me raise my voice every time. From her view, she just try protect me. Since she isn’t bad, I decided to endure without saying anything.
1517
1518“Ha~a, wa, um ku … wa fu”
1519“Have you calmed down?”
1520“Yes, somehow …”
1521
1522By the time I’m finally able to to speak, Iris-san is calling out.
1523There is still fever in the whole body, I still have excessive sweating but it’s possible to establish a conversation somehow.
1524Especially the stomach and lower abdomen are hot, there is still a feeling of stroking from the inside. My head is dizzy and I don’t have much idea, but I know that I have to do something.
1525
1526“Yeah yeah … It’s a cute eyes, there seems to be self-discipline enough to keep yourself under control of my blood boost”
1527“Blood, boost … ?”
1528“Ability to raise the power of those who take blood … Well, I do not care about such things. Here, something to break is in front of me right now.
1529
1530Iris-san takes my hand and support it.
1531Even now, blood is flowing from her reverse wrist, It will make a number of red things flower in the white kimono, but Iris-san does not care.
1532
1533It is the opposite of Satsuki-san’s brute force. I did not resist the kind of guidance that she gently taught.
1534A feeling like a sweet, warm thing swims behind the belly spreads throughout my body. Even though consciousness is thin, it is felt that only magical powers are being clearly kneaded.
1535Almost nature and mouth open. Like when we were being shaken by a dream, words came into my mind.
1536
1537“Flow, return to normal”
1538
1539The mainstream of magical power, which is clearly understood even with light consciousness. It is much stronger than the recovery magic that I have dealt with, and the wind of healing violent blew.
1540It is not only to erase and dispel curses, even the surrounding flowers are blooming. The mountains are colored as if they were injected energetically rather than recovering.
1541A corner of a mountain where colorful flowers have bloomed enough to ignore the season. The moonlight danced and gave a glittering sight.
1542The hot spring blows out as if the waterfall was upside down, and eventually caught by gravity. Satsuki-san cover the hot water which falls down by opening a big Japanese umbrella.
1543
1544“A big oversized umbrella that was good to have”
1545“Ah, about that, Satsuki-san, how do you draw it out of the cleavage …?”
1546“No, this is just an action, actually I’m putting in and out with storage skills like Blood Bag”
1547“Is it confusing?”
1548“For now, let’s go back, Ar…, ARGE!?”
1549“Oh, yes…”
1550
1551Because I used magic, the heat in the back of my body has disappeared. Although it was said that it was Blood Boost, is it that the effect was over? I didn’t have it in the initial skills table that Loli-gramp suggested, what kind of ability is it?
1552Still, there is still a shallow numbness sensation in the whole body.
1553As everyone moves away from the spot, so we don’t get caught up in the spurt of hot springs. My body is still weak and I was supported by Kuzuha-chan.
1554
1555“… Thank you, Arge-san”
1556
1557Thank you in a small voice, Kuzuha-chan smiles like a flower blooms.
1558It might be the first time that she can smile like that. While thinking about such things, I trusted my body to Kuzuha-chan. Also forget to apologize for let her carry me.
1559While listening to the mountain bubbles and the sound that hot water overflows into the mountains, I close my eyes. Somehow, I got tired.
1560This is a long and tired day, I can finally sleep
1561
1562TO BE CONTINUED
1563Chapter 65: Soaking in hot spring
1564
1565“Umm, ha~a …”
1566
1567Sinking the body, sighing. My whole body relaxes. 
1568My butt touch ground. Hot water throughout the body and makes me warm. I was enjoying the heat as it was.
1569
1570… It is hot warm temperature.
1571
1572It’s a nice warmth like passing loosely over time to the core. 
1573The hot water itself is amazing. When scooping over the shoulder, it feels a little tender and feels good.
1574
1575It is true that I don’t need to take a bath like this. Because it is only necessary to remove dirt with recovery magic. 
1576If I try to soak it in hot water like this, it is not as good as a nap, but it is certainly pleasant.
1577
1578Encho prepared hot water as a ‘thank you’ when I woke up. 
1579A dedicated bath that he made for me with soil magic, it wide enough for the four of us. It will be too adequate as a reward.
1580
1581I sink down to my shoulder and I look at my silver hair floating on my back. When I breathed a deep sigh a second time, I can hear footsteps.
1582The full of spirit and ecstasy well kick the earth were those of Kuzuha-chan. She naturally takes off all her clothes and runs without hiding it, and jumps into the hot spring as it is.
1583
1584“It’s a bath!”
1585
1586‘Do bon’, the flashy sound and hot water was splashed away. 
1587Kuzuha-chan who arrived, jumps happily in the water surface while sucking a lot of hot water on the ears and tail. It is annoying to do where people are, but since this place is only for us, it will not be a problem. 
1588Kuzuha-chan plays with hot water with an innocent smile like enjoying a splash. she looks like a dog playing in the water. No, she was a fox.
1589
1590“It feels good, Arge-san!” 
1591“I agree” 
1592“You don’t have to go ahead, you wanted to take a bath so soon?” 
1593“… Yeah, well”
1594
1595Certainly it is. The curse is so annoying, and I sweat quite a lot by the spell of the hot springs. The latter is largely due to the Blood Boost. 
1596However, there is another reason why I was soaked in hot springs after taking off my clothes earlier than three people.
1597
1598… for the time being a man.
1599
1600This body is unmistakably a girl, but the soul is of a man. At least I will do that. 
1601For Kuzuha-chan, it’s just about getting in a bath with just girls, and that recognition is by no means a mistake. If I look only at the body, I will be a beautiful girl in every parts of my body.
1602
1603Even from looking at the nude of the Kuzuha-chan, I do not think anything, but I’m still a man, mentally. I thought that it was rude to see girls took off their clothes. So I take off my clothes and enter the bath first.  (T.N: Give up Arge, you don’t feel anything when see nake girls, you only thought it was rude to look at, you are already a girl even in mind) (Author just make you a trans gender so you won’t marry a man and prefer a girl)
1604
1605Kuzuha-chan is thin as a whole but she has a healthy and supple body. She is moving around here. 
1606Somehow in doubt and looking at the tail, her triplet tails grew considerably above the buttocks. It is a little more than the tail bone.
1607
1608“Ara ra, full of spirit aren’t you” (Arāra, genki ga īdesu nē)
1609
1610Wow, huge. 
1611First and foremost comment comes out. There appeared existence with such volume. 
1612Satsuki-san enters hot water slowly with her long black hair tied. The open chest floated on a bath as if it were a single, or two … creatures.
1613
1614“Ah, my heart is light, after all the hot springs are nice! I can get tired! I literally have a lighter body now!” 
1615“Haa, uhm … is it so?” 
1616“Well, it is really too big for this cheeky mochi, I can’t even see my feet.”
1617
1618Certainly, it will be invisible if it is big, even if you don’t speak to that extent so much. 
1619I thought of plunging. But from Satsuki-san, I am a girl. If you’re going to have a girls talk, I need something to say that wouldn’t be strange.
1620
1621Once again sitting next to me, She is still big. Not only the chest, but all. 
1622Satsuki-san is stature as a woman. She isn’t fat and is rather slender except for her chest, but as the height gets higher the whole part will become bigger.
1623
1624“Well, from what Arge-chan and Kuzuha-chan said not so long ago … Aren’t you a little young for a two-trip?” 
1625“There are various circumstances” 
1626“Well, it certainly is, I guess.”
1627
1628Although I refused the clear answer, Satsuki-san lowered her head to this place. Her bundle of black hair sinks deep in hot water, and the chest is shaken by the waves. She seems like a brute force but she attually a person who respects us properly. 
1629Satsuki-san is looking at Kuzuha-chan who is playing hot water somewhat fun. 
1630Somewhere, I felt something wrong. Rather than feeling strange, it is a flow of magical power. Something like a mysterious sign is leaking from Satsuki-san. 
1631Since myself also uses magic, recently it is a little sensitive to the flow of magical power. I can not see it, but I feel the air that strokes my skin.
1632
1633“Satsuki-san, are you using magic for something?” 
1634“Everything” 
1635“… What are you … ?” 
1636“Yeah, it’s too bad to let this pass, isn’t it? That’s why I’m recording the Fox Lolita playing with hot water … Yes, that’s it!”
1637
1638I wonder, it looks like a similar development a while ago. 
1639There is a doubt, but the other side is not going to step on us there. Even so, it is a strange story that I alone was forcibly listened to her idea and circumstances. 
1640I am on the first day of meeting, but I think that she isn’t a person who harms us, so I will not pursue it deeply. I conclude that and I will look down on the bathtub. 
1641My eyes met with a red eyes.
1642
1643“Kya … !”
1644
1645I was surprised, I got a voice like a girl. 
1646When the other party smiles slowly in hot water, she slowly rises. 
1647The gold hair that removed the blue flower decoration is Iris-san. When she wiped her face with her hands, she has a wonderful face
1648
1649“Arge, ka 〜 wa ī ♪”  (Kawai mean cute) (Iris call Arge without -chan or -san)
1650“… please don’t scare me like that” 
1651“Oh, sorry sorry, are you upset?” 
1652“No, I am not angry.”
1653
1654But it looks like her expression does not go bad, although we put our hands together with exaggerated movements. She do not apologize seriously, but she’s still charming, it suits her well.
1655I was only surprised, I’m not angry. So I will not blame you. 
1656Before I knew it, she was already in a bathtub, I guess she was diving to my side, this person. I am curious about her.
1657
1658When she come to the side in this way. I know that it is true that she is an opposite in every way with Satsuki-san. 
1659Brilliant golden short hair contrasting with a gentle black long hair. 
1660Small body opposite large body in every sense. 
1661Satsuki-san is aggressive but she is polite and drawing properly, Iris-san’ person seems to be calm but she is attually mischief.
1662
1663However, both are definitely beautiful. 
1664Satsuki-san is beautiful, Iris-san is cute. Both have been completed, they have different direction beauty.
1665
1666The contrasting two lines lined up naturally, soaked in a bathtub. 
1667Impression that each action unconsciously respects each other, and then it fits neatly in its place. It is a movement that will be impossible unless they know each other for quite a while and deeply. Somehow, I feel that way. 
1668Satsuki-san looks up at the moon as if it looks like shimmering.
1669
1670“Haha, this is a good hot spring” 
1671“Satsuki-san loves hot spring?” 
1672“Yes, from long ago … Arge-chan” 
1673“… Ah, yes”
1674
1675There was an atmosphere that seemed to form only the two worlds, so suddenly I was called and the reaction was delayed. 
1676Satsuki-san said nothing against my delay in reaction, rather she is smiling gently. And this time she waved to Kuzuha-chan and call out.
1677
1678“Kuzuha-chan” 
1679“Yes, what is it, Satsuki-san?”
1680
1681Kuzuha-chan who was called swings her tail that soak of water. and she comes to this place. Her fur and tail look heavy by sucking water. 
1682Satsuki-san nods satisfiedly when Kuzuha-chan comes in.
1683
1684“Both of you, have you decided where to go from now?” 
1685“… For the time being, we stay here for a couple of days and then I think we should go to the capital, isn’t it, Kuzuha-chan? 
1686“Yes, there is no problem!” 
1687“Is that so … then shall we go together?” 
1688“Huh?”
1689“We live in the capital, so why are you having trouble with us go back home … Isn’t it right, Iris-chan?”
1690“Yeah … I heard you for the first time, but it isn’t good” (for two cute little girls travel alone)
1691
1692Mutual understanding that is too light, but perhaps they are natural. 
1693I’m not having any problem. Beside, I still like to talk with each other. When sending a line of sight to Kuzuha-chan, she raises her hand.
1694
1695“I will follow Arge-san where she want to go, I also think that it’s good if someone is with us.” 
1696“… okay, then Satsuki-san, Iris-san, may I ask you to come with us?” 
1697“Well, of course,” 
1698“Yeah, good.”
1699
1700Kuzuha-chan will know the way to the capital, but if we want to live there, it would be better if we asked the guides for the capital itself. 
1701Both of them are vampires, they can enter the mountain side like this, so it seems good to see both as having certain strength. 
1702We will be able to relax when we are attacked by a demon on the way. Well, let ‘s get ready. 
1703While thinking about such an expeditious thing like that, I grasped hands that are presented from both Satsuki-san and Iris-san. Like Kuzuha-chan, she also shakes hands with the two. 
1704As Satsuki-san wraps around, Iris-san touched me without any hesitation and I learned a little strange to the fact that the two of them are completely different.
1705
1706ARGE CHAPTER 66: TO THE CAPITAL
1707The sunlight in the morning is strange. Even though the air is cold, I feel relieved that warmth comes down from the top.
1708
1709I felt that kind of thing even in the body of the vampire, and still able to walk around because I had maximum level of sunlight resistence when I was reincarnated. I must thank Loli-gramp for this.
1710
1711While walking in the cold air of the Sakura garden, let’s try get used to it with my body temperature.
1712
1713Normally, I want to sleep more, but today is the day of departure. Let’s make a carriage for travel if I want to sleep. I hope it won’t shake too much.
1714
1715… I has relaxed until today.
1716
1717After solving the hot springs incident, we spent a couple of days in Sakura garden.
1718Even I said relax. But because the Kuzuha-chan brought me around for sight seeing, I didn’t get much sleep everyday.
1719
1720It seems that Satsuki-san reported that “It was a quirk of Elsee” about the hot spring withered incident.
1721It seems that vampire called Elsee bothered people with many other things as well.
1722
1723Hakuen block the spring incident was forgiven. They were also victims, and the hot springs would not reach the base even if they didn’t stop the spring flow, that’s why no-one really mind.
1724Not to mention, they were the ones to take care of the injuries and hot springs.
1725
1726On top of that, we became benefactors of Sakura garden. Because it has regained valuable tourists. Their hospitality was very good.
1727Even I thought that I only help out a little, but people didn’t see it that way.
1728The Sakura Garden gently treats us with care, to them it is a matter of gratitude because “I solved their problem a few days earlier than expected”.
1729
1730We solved it quickly considering the importance of the hot spring. However, Satsuki-san said that even if we lelf it alone, they would still settle in about three days.
1731In other words, what we did was a bit of favor. If they treat us three days’ worth of repayment, they would have fulfilled their obligation. This is not a place for me to stay forever. Even I want to have such a place quickly.
1732
1733 
1734
1735“Good morning, Neguseo” (Arge)
1736
1737 
1738
1739Inside Sakura garden site. I came in a covered space established to connect horses.
1740Give a morning greetment to Neguseo, who is given a clearly better appearance than other horses and is highly treated.
1741Neguseo does not look surprised because I came to talk everyday. He raise up the body he was curling up,
1742
1743 
1744
1745“Arge, you are early today”
1746
1747“Well, I always sleep more.”
1748
1749“… What is that dress?”
1750
1751“It’s new clothes”
1752
1753 
1754
1755Now, I am wearing a vibrant red kimono. It is a handmade item made by Kuzuha-chan during our stay. The color is red with a purple band. It isn’t too flashy.
1756Because many people are wearing kimono in the Republic, I am wearing it from the judgment that this one is more natural than the maid clothes.
1757Even though I say it myself, I am totally looking like a beautiful girl, so it will be pretty eye-catching, but it will be better than maid clothes.
1758
1759I stroke his black fur in front of my eyes. Sleepy feeling, muscle hardness, and body temperature. While I felt that kind of thing, I bore him.
1760
1761 
1762
1763“Good work, Neguseo. Thank you.”
1764
1765“Hmm … what do you want, say it”
1766
1767“No, I had you brought me here, as promised, to the outside of the kingdom”
1768
1769“What a thing like that, do not mind, that is exactly what I promised”
1770
1771“Yes, thank you very much.”
1772
1773“… I can not understand the story.”
1774
1775 
1776
1777Neguseo seems to be puzzled. Since he is a horse, how to make that expression is quite different from human beings, but sometimes the words can be communicated, so even if you withdraw the blood contract, you can read emotions somehow.
1778I wonder if he was a bit lost. With that in mind, I decided to explain the meaning of the word.
1779
1780 
1781
1782“Actually, our promise is only to get out of the kingdom, so Neguseo is already free.”
1783
1784 
1785
1786If it is true, you can break up soon after crossing the country, but you brought me here. For that, I asked the inn to treat Neguseo with food good.
1787If he unravels the connected rope, he becomes freedom.
1788
1789In the state, he is a naked horse, it is the same as a wild horse. He will be able to pass borders without difficulty, without being suspected by anyone. I don’t think people will care if the animals cross the border.
1790
1791 
1792
1793“I will send you outside”
1794
1795 
1796
1797Because there is a possibility that it seems like the escape of a horse, let ‘s take him to the outside of the town properly. While I think so, Neguseo came closer to me,
1798
1799 
1800
1801“Hamu”
1802
1803“Fu nya!?”
1804
1805 
1806
1807He bite my hair.
1808It seems to be pinched by lips rather than biting. Neguseo has never done such a thing so far, as to surprise and jump out.
1809Neguseo left behind with screams shook his head and sniffed his nose.
1810Although the other party is a horse, it is embarrassing that I scream voice like a girl and he listened to it. While feeling hard to do, I send words of protest to him.
1811
1812 
1813
1814“What are you doing all of sudden, Neguseo”
1815
1816“No, you are bad now.”
1817
1818“I … ?”
1819
1820 
1821
1822I am confused because I do not know the meaning of the returned word. I am bad, so where will I be told?
1823Looking again at the face of Neguseo, there is a slightly angry atmosphere. Apparently it is not a joke.
1824
1825 
1826
1827“Um … did you want a little better carrots?”
1828
1829“No!”
1830
1831 
1832
1833Far from calm down, he was clearly more angry. To ordinary people, they can only hear “Hihi ̄ n”, but that reaches my ear with a clear denial.
1834He trampled the air in the morning and woke up the other horses that still sleeping.
1835He is sending an annoying gaze to me. Ignoring the surroundings, I will turn my eyes firmly to him.
1836Just a few seconds. After looking at me with all that time, Neguseo had a big sigh.
1837
1838 
1839
1840“Arge … you, you really don’t understand”
1841
1842 
1843
1844Like amazement, words like resignation.
1845Neguseo start walking. Slowly, so as to bring a blunt and eccentric facing towards here.
1846He closed the distance and he talked to me again.
1847
1848 
1849
1850“Arge-san, is it annoying for me to be here?”
1851
1852“There is not such a thing, I am saved by you.”
1853
1854“In that case, please take me from now on”
1855
1856“Well, but promises are already …”
1857
1858“Oh, I know what you want to say, so it’s a new promise, now please take me, until you understand why I got angry.”
1859
1860 
1861
1862New promise. In that case it will be separate from what we exchanged in the past.
1863There is no reason to refuse. As I said, it is true that Neguseo help me a lot. If he keep helping me like this, I will owe him even more favor.
1864
1865I do not know the intention of Neguseo. Knowing that, he says saying that he will take care me until I know what I do not understand.
1866
1867… That, isn’t it forever?
1868
1869I don’t abandon thinking, but if I can’t find the answer he will follow me forever.
1870There is only a merit for me, but Neguseo has such a disadvantage. Is it really okay?
1871
1872 
1873
1874“Well then Arge, where are you going next?”
1875
1876“Ah … Uhm, on a carriage prepared by Satsuki-san, to the capital”
1877
1878“Well then, I suppose that I will join pulling a carriage”
1879
1880 
1881
1882It is a very obedient word. When I first met, he said “I will not help anyone slower than me”. I wonder whether it was also a change in his mind.
1883
1884 
1885
1886“Well, then … Neguseo. I hope you continue to take care of me from now on.”
1887
1888“Okay, leave it to me. I will take you wherever you go”
1889
1890 
1891
1892Neguseo says something happily like that. Although he should have been angry until a while ago, he is a strange person, no, strange horse. I wonder if being with me is that much fun. I do not understand.
1893The cherry blossom petals that came hanging over us and rising to the sky. The morning air starts to have temperature little by little, and it will be felt warmer in less than an hour.
1894
1895Because I am watching familiar cherry blossoms, I remember just a little old times. I repaired the disoriented silver hair by hand and I caught a petal.
1896If you look at it, you get a familiar smell. Why there are cherry blossoms in other worlds, it was enough nostalgia to forget such trivial things.
1897
1898The name of the capital of the Republic seems to be Sakura-nomiya.
1899There was original sakura trees blooming, and was carried over to this town.
1900After letting the petals floating like playing around the fingers for a moment, I also danced. I want to see it, I will travel there.
1901I hope this time I can find the person who will feed me at the destination.
1902
1903Chapter 67: Former knight and merchant’s journey
1904
1905“… Tto”
1906
1907My body bounces from a big shake from the carriage. It was enough to wake me up from my sleep. 
1908Although the highway is well maintained, it is made mainly of compressed by soil magic. If a horse carriage passes many times, it becomes distortion, and eventually it will start to have holes.
1909
1910“Sorry, Felnote-san. Are you okay?” 
1911“Well, I’m fine,”
1912
1913I swing my arm and repond to Zeno who is driving the carriage. There is nothing serious, as my buttocks are numb and my chest bounces. I only need to adjust the position lightly, to calm the chest that got sluggish.
1914
1915By the way, we are current talking with republican language. I remembered everyday conversation to some extent, and now I can use it fairly well.
1916It is quite different from the language of the kingdom, and there are places where language is a bit confusing, but I am used to it. If I keep use it, I will get better. 
1917When I remember, the confusing phrase from before come beautiful words, so it was mean “wind flow” in the republican language.
1918
1919“How long will we arrive to Sakura-nomiya?” 
1920“Well, I think we will arrive by nightfall.”
1921
1922Zeno is a Merchant. He have worked in several towns before we came here, so it takes a long time to come so far.
1923
1924… Well, it will be faster than Arge.
1925
1926That girl is lazy and want to an easy. Even if she aim for the capital city, she will take a lot of time to sleep. 
1927Unless she is picked up and carried by someone, she will not be ahead of me. No doubt.
1928
1929“Arge, are you sure she come to Sakura-nomiya?” 
1930“maybe”
1931
1932It is quite uncertain to say here. But, perhaps Arge will aim for the capital. 
1933Her aim is to have a three meal, sleeping and to be feeded, and it seems she don’t know anything about the world. Because her power is serious deal, it will be extra bad. Someone may take advantage her.
1934She has such a funny goal, but there are also unexpectedly cool parts. 
1935If she moves, she will choose place with high possibility that there are people who will provide her. In other words, in order to raise the possibilities, she will go to many capital cities.
1936
1937I have not thought how to find her, but I have asked around a lot. Zeno also told other peddlers to look for her. 
1938She is a beautiful girl, with beautiful face and silver hair, pointed ears. A beautiful girl of absurdity. Once you have met, you can not forget her. And it will be easy to find her if she is walking in town.
1939
1940It is no use trying to think about her when she was not found. So much time to reach this far. Yes, I can find her. 
1941I will absolutely catch her. And let me tell you a true way to live.
1942
1943“… Ah” 
1944“What’s wrong?” 
1945“Just now, cherry blossom petals are falling …” 
1946“Sakura-nomiya is already close, and we are planting trees in villages and towns around here. so it’s no wonder why you see it here.”
1947
1948A small petal that fits in the palm of my hand. 
1949When I was wondering whether or not to touch it, the carriage shook tremendously. Apparently it seems to have gotten into a hole again.
1950
1951“Ah”
1952
1953By the time I realize, fragments of flowers are already flying in the sky. 
1954Winds scoop petals, carriage movements leave it behind. I watched the petals that could not be seen beyond the meadow.
1955
1956“The road maintenance is surprisingly bad, isn’t it?” 
1957“Since there are a lot of carriages go back and forth, this place still far from capital. Even if we want to maintenance, it will be impossible to do immediately, maintenance itself is pretty much done by the commercial guild. We don’t have many earth magician to cover this far”
1958
1959It’s true just like Zeno said. 
1960I have passed many other peddlers and merchants as we travel. Certainly with that many carriages, the road will also get damaged. And we are still far from capital, we can’t expect they maintain to even here. I said something foolish.
1961
1962“I’m sorry, Zeno” 
1963“No, I’m the one must say sorry, that we can’t go through a very pleasant road” 
1964“It’s not Zeno’s fault.”
1965
1966He only glance at me when we are talking. The basics of drive a carriage are he must look forward and manipulate the horses. 
1967I can see it on his back. Even from here, I can see the sign of his bitter smile.
1968I haven’t been sleeping together (with Arge) for more than ten days already. (Withdraw symptoms ?) Unless she isn’t interested in me anymore or she doesn’t know how to meet me. That much subtlety will make me realize.
1969
1970… I don’t care, though.
1971
1972Even though I say we should have a dinner, she doesn’t have anything and just sleeping.
1973When I change clothes, she is still sometimes feel sorry for seeing it. So if you show your concern too, it’s confusing, so I’m trying not to say anything.
1974
1975In the carriage that shakes strongly occasionally, I try to sit down but don’t relax. I must prepare myself for the next vibrations, to protect my butt. And also to move as soon as there is something happen. 
1976Because the capital is near, I see that there are no thieves and demon raids, but I’m worried about meeting a big enemy. One moment distract during battle, it could be fatal.
1977
1978As I prayed that there would be no trouble in our way, I was shaken by a carriage. 
1979Sakura-nomiya is almost here.
1980
1981Chapter 68: Guardian of the forest get annoyed
1982The morning peace was drowned out by a sharp cry.
1983The crying is from many birds, and the only reason why they make noises is …
1984… Intruder! ( I felt a great disturbance in the Force forest, as if millions hundreds of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. will happen)
1985
1986The forest that I protect. When a stranger comes here the birds will call me, that’s what I ordered them to do.
1987Carrying the axe, stepping on the ground, running through the forest. Every time I run, the ground tremors and I feel that the flowers could get ruined, but I can not keep that in mind now. If I don’t hurry, the whole forest may be in danger.
1988Poachers come over and over again trying to steal the grace of the forest.
1989I only give it to people if they’re worthy enough, but of course, there is a limit I can give that doesn’t harm the forest. Poachers are the target of hatred, they must be eliminated.
1990It is troublesome to do this every time, but that is my role. And it has become much easier than before. May her force be with me. (I wonder if this is proper English but I want to use a star war refer) (original is: I can feel my body is filling with her power)
1991
1992… Blood Contract that my friend gave me!
1993
1994Silver haired vampire, Arge nee-san. Her contract of blood gives me a strong power.
1995Moreover, I am not slacking off. In order to overcome the problem about speed, I have repeatedly practiced, and the skill of ‘guardian of the area’ is also rising.
1996Recently, I can even use magic. I’m surely growing up.
1997“Bumooooooooo! ! !”
1998I rush through the forest with great speed while roaring.
1999Now, poachers. Here I come. I came to judge you. It is a cry with that intention.
2000Mostly poachers have fallen to a trap set by goblins and kobolds.Recently, they are even more cooperative than before. (It’s A Trap)
2001
2002I ran to the intruder, led by the voice of the birds.
2003The other person is turning her back. Although the distance is still far, she should be able to hear my footsteps or the tremor, why doesn’t she react ? Are you inviting me ? Then, I’m gonna take that offer.
2004When I reach the sufficient distance. I jump using all my power and speed. And then swing down my favourite axe with all my might. With this attack I will probably crush my opponent.
2005“Flowering”
2006
2007At that moment, a familiar word reached my ears, I chose to give up my weapon.
2008Of course, the axe still has its Inertial force flying toward her after image and hit the ground, but it does not matter. I abandoned the weapon because it doesn’t change if I have weapon or not fighting against her.
2009She is disappearing right now, she can strike in all directions, bare handed I may a chance to react in time. I didn’t move or make any sound, trying to concentrate the best I can to avoid.
2010She appears a few meters beyond me, I finally catch a glimpse of her and fall back. It seems like I had avoided her attack by a margin.
2011A ghostly woman with short black hair. I don’t know her name, but I will not forget that face.
2012Her blurry image, her smile with the amber eyes that toyed with me last time we fought, are not easy to forget.
2013“You came again, you … !”
2014
2015I angrily glare at her, but she is still a ghost. The best I can do with all my power is avoid her attack once. There is an unpleasant feeling that she is still looking around and doesn’t even care about me. I’m really angry, but I will be patient.
2016If I get angry here and fight her recklessly, I will die.
2017“Hmm, I thought you were smarter than before but it seems like you can’t use it properly”
2018Far from moving, she doesn’t even show any stance. She’s just talking to me.
2019“… what with that?”
2020
2021Something’s wrong.
2022I thought that’s because her atmosphere was changed too much.
2023The bad feeling like when I fought with her before was gone. Compared to the other day, she is rather calm.
2024It seemed like she was not interested in the forest and me.
2025She shrugs her shoulders like she’s amazed. Even though I’m not interested in her action, I must keep watching her movements.
2026“Isn’t it obvious, I came to settle with Vampear not you”
2027“What? Vampy?”
2028“Vampear !!” (Tsundere translate: You idiot, how dare you mistake her name)
2029
2030Not Arge nee-san, but I could not know who she means. It was a word that I did not remember.
2031I do not remember much. Yes, that’s too much. I feel like heard it somewhere. Where was it …. again?
2032“Hmm …”
2033“…………” (Tsundere translate: now you thinking ?)
2034“Ah … “
2035“…………” (Tsundere translate: what’s taking so long ?)
2036“Hmm … “
2037“Argento! Argento vampear !!” (Tsundere translate: this is why I hate muscle brain)
2038“Oh, ah!”
2039
2040I was finally able to understand it after all words were spoken.
2041Argento vampear. In other words, Arge nee-san. I call her as Arge nee-san, so I don’t remember her family name.
2042In the first place, family names are not normally present in vampires. Because they was mostly born from magical beings transforming, not from their ancestor . Even if I forget it, it can not be helped.
2043“It’s useless even if you trying to hide her … ?” (Tsundere translate: because I will chase her even to the end of this world)
2044
2045Her threatening words still make me sweat, and if I look at her, she is serious. If I don’t do it according her words, battle will be inevitable.
2046… How do you do it?
2047Where is Arge nee-san now? I only know about the direction.
2048I heard the story that she is going to the Republic from the beginning, there is also the soul connection from the contract of blood.
2049To be honest, it would be pretty hard for me to get in touch with her.Even now I am not confident.
2050However, it isn’t good to tell this woman where Arge nee-san is. I think that this woman can’t win against Arge-san. But there’s no way I will tell my benefactor’s location to a dangerous person.
2051It is annoying if she will meet with Arge nee-san. Nothing to settle with anymore, Arge nee-san are already won.
2052“Come on, get Vampear here!” (Tsundere translate: let me see her already, you idiot)
2053
2054“Come on, get Vampear here!” (Tsundere translate: let me see her already, you idiot)
2055Vanpear this, Vampear that, so noisy.
2056“Ah … That person isn’t here, because she isn’t a dweller in this forest in the first place”
2057“… Then, tell me where she is.” (Tsundere translate: Can’t be help, I will chase her myself)
2058
2059Alright, yes, she takes the bait well.
2060I tried enduring my urge to laugh when I looked at her face and I pointed my fingers outside of the forest. It is not the direction Arge nee-san is. It’s completely different country.
2061I wait for her to turn his eyes to the direction I pointed to, and slowly tell her.
2062“『 Empire』, she said she will go there before leaving.”
2063“Empire, why is she in that place …?” (Tsundere translate: Empire huh ?)
2064
2065“I don’t know her purpose, it seemed like there was something big going on there”
2066“Purpose … Huh, I see. I guess It won’t be easy to find her …” (Tsundere translate: you think you can escape from me ?)
2067
2068I try not to respond to her words, she makes a funny face and shows me a grudge. It is a face that seems to have asked Arge nee-san’s attitude to the end.
2069It’s my first time doing such a thing, but this woman is an opponent who I don’t have to fight. It is the same as Arge nee-san, because she does not mind the value of this forest.
2070In that case, I will trick her to go to places where she will not be annoyed. According to the story of the birds, the empire seems to be a country that is desolate, I hope you won’t be dead burning over there.
2071
2072“… No lies, right?”
2073“It’s a person who is irrelevant to the forest and there is no point in hiding her.”
2074“Fu~un, well then, I will be going.”
2075『 Flowering』, her appearance is blurring.
2076It is my second time seeing her movement, but I still can’t see her. She was gone before I noticed it.
2077The crisis has passed. I judged that and relaxed my body. I was sweating badly, while sitting down on a rock nearby, each time the winds blow I feel cold.
2078“Arge nee-san, You’re still doing fine, I guess”
2079With the power of blood contract, we know each other’s condition. What I get from her is all about health.
2080Nevertheless, when I get talked about like this, I want to see her face. Is it something I can not help anyway? I hold such a feeling, but I denied it myself.
2081… His feet are like that.
2082Even now I can hardly move with that wicked woman in front me.
2083Arge nee-san are different. She showed off with a different level. she crushed that woman’s pride to the extent that she got a grudge against her.
2084With overpowered people like that around, what kind of role will I be useful for? (TN: Forest Village Head A ?)
2085
2086I breathe a sigh and watch my hands. I feel like I got stronger after training from that, but it is not enough yet.
2087I have to keep getting stronger and protect the forest. And if it possible, I want to use my power for Arge nee-san.
2088“To that end, I will train harder”
2089I clap my hands to my face. I have the power Arge nee-san gave me, and I am also motivated. Then the rest is that I should train as hard as possible (T.N: you should do “100 Push-Ups, 100 Sit-Ups, 100 Squats, 10km Everyday” ^_^)
2090I’m sure I can become stronger.
2091A connection with that person is still living in my body. Believing that we will meet again somewhere, I raised my back.
2092When I notice it, the sun is already quite high. If that person sees it, she will surely just take a nap.
2093For me, it is a special training time.
2094
2095CHAPTER 69: FLOWERS AND CAGE.
2096 
2097
2098I have consciousness, but I can’t move my body, I recognize that this is a dream.
2099
2100Again?
2101
2102After reincarnating in a different world, I often saw the old days as a dream.
2103
2104Maybe a vampire is a good dreamer?
2105
2106I know that it is a dream, so there is nothing surprising about the scenery in front of me.
2107
2108Everything is ordinary, but the room is isolated from the outside world.
2109
2110I can never step on the other side of the iron lattice, but I was only allowed to live here. That is the servant from that time.
2111
2112While feeling the nostalgic air, I see the same thing as the one I am watching in my dream.
2113
2114 
2115
2116“I hate it, please don’t look at me too much” (Aoba) (T.N: Tsundere Imouto / cousin)
2117
2118“You are also watching me, aren’t you?” (Ginji/Arge)
2119
2120“It is a beautiful and emotional act when a living person looks at the dead, but it is undesirable for the dead to look at the living when you’re not my ancestor.” (Aoba)
2121
2122“Oh, is that so?” (Ginji/Arge)
2123
2124 
2125
2126Both my words and her words are decided in advance. Because this is my past.
2127
2128The living being on the other side of the iron lattice is an existence with a track record and power to be allowed to live in the Kuon house. She is Kuon Aoba-san
2129
2130In my memory, she is always wearing Japanese clothes. The fancy sleeves in which colorful flowers are drawn, its glossiness make my eyes hurt so much that I can no longer tell what color is the main.
2131
2132She is wearing such a Japanese clothing that makes her atmosphere like standing in the flower garden.
2133
2134There’re two bells attached to her hairpin, her smooth black hair sways just like wave every time she moves. She put a blade on the flower held in her hand.
2135
2136Every time her thin finger moves, the blade cut an unrequired part of flowers. Then she begins to arrange flowers.
2137
2138I only see it as beautiful art and before I knew it, I keep watching her.
2139
2140She put the finished work aside and smiled.
2141
2142 
2143
2144“How is it? It is hard to show my art to one person.” (Aoba)
2145
2146“I don’t know about flower arrangements, and I am a dead man, so I usually don’t think my impression will have any meaning.” (Ginji/Arge)
2147
2148“Hā. Is that so?” (Aoba)
2149
2150 
2151
2152There is no disgust in her eyes. She‘s a strange person.
2153
2154Many people who come here seem to despise me. After looking down at me, they will return.
2155
2156A few of the people who come here seem to have pity on me. For some reason, they seem got hurt more than I did, and they will also return after a while.
2157
2158She is neither of them. She is the only one different.
2159
2160I wonder if it is an interesting thing, she visited my prison many times and she always came with flowers.
2161
2162Her completed work is cleaned up before it dies. Maybe that’s also Aoba-san’s instruction.
2163
2164 
2165
2166“Then, as a deceased, is there something you want?” (Aoba)
2167
2168“… I prefer a little more flashy, like cherry blossoms, or something like that” (Ginji/Arge)
2169
2170 
2171
2172What I’ve said is true. I thought It would be inconvenient, but I did not mind.
2173
2174Because she asked my opinion.
2175
2176Her work behind the iron lattice is gaudy and she is gorgeous like the clothes she is wearing. She is gorgeous, eye-catching and beautiful. Even in my dream, she seemed to shine.
2177
2178I am not familiar with the way, so I do not know what kind of flowers are used. Still I know that Aoba-san’s work is amazing.
2179
2180Otherwise she can not name herself as a person of Kuon’s house. I can understand it even if I don’t have knowledge about flower arrangements.
2181
2182It’s just my preference though.
2183
2184 
2185
2186“Tee hee hee, is that so?” (Aoba)
2187
2188 
2189
2190Her reaction is contrary to what I thought. Far from being angry, she laughed.
2191
2192The bells ring as she walks, she comes closer to the iron lattice.
2193
2194 
2195
2196“Aoba-san?” (Ginji/Arge)
2197
2198“A little closer” (Aoba)
2199
2200“I understand” (Ginji/Arge)
2201
2202 
2203
2204I don’t know her purpose, but there is no reason to refuse. I approached the iron lattice.
2205
2206I thought for a moment what would happen if I didn’t come close here, I’m a dreamer.
2207
2208My dreams move freely, and this is already over in the past. Even if I want to do something different from reality, it does not change the reality.
2209
2210And I knew what happens after this. I don’t know what to do as she takes my hands beyond the iron lattice.
2211
2212A small sound echoes in a quiet room. Like tongue touching.
2213
2214There is no surprise. This is the second time. I was a little surprised because this time she is still here as evidence that I’m not dreaming.
2215
2216Marisa Kiss Alice.jpg
2217
2218“It tastes unexpected, doesn’t it?” (Aoba)

2220“I didn’t think there was a hobby to kiss the dead.”  (Ginji/Arge)
2221
2222“As long as you are here, you are not dead.” (Aoba)
2223
2224“Ha, is that so?” (Ginji/Arge)
2225
2226“… Do you have experience?” (Aoba)
2227
2228“As far as I remember, no-one has ever done anything like that” (Ginji/Arge)
2229
2230“Hehe, that was good” (Aoba)
2231
2232 
2233
2234She thought that I was dead until a while ago, and she started to treat me like a living person abruptly.
2235
2236I do not know what she is thinking. It’s only a dream, but whatever, we meet again.
2237
2238However, even if you don’t know her feelings, I know what emotions the facial expression comes from. It was a pleasure to see from her expression at that time. Because her smile is beautiful like flowers.
2239
2240 
2241
2242“You are like a bud, aren’t you?” (Aoba)
2243
2244“Is that so?” (Ginji/Arge)
2245
2246“Yeah … what kind of flowers will you bloom into?” (Aoba)
2247
2248“It withered before blooming” (Ginji/Arge)
2249
2250“No, like a bud of a flower under the snow, you can surely bloom. It just isn’t here, but what if somewhere else” (Aoba)
2251
2252 
2253
2254She is getting away from me and she stands up.
2255
2256I don’t understand the meaning of her words and the intention of her emotions after all. Even for me at present time, I am watching the past like this now.
2257
2258 
2259
2260“I would like to see you bloom” (Aoba)
2261
2262“I think that it is impossible, because I can not do it from here” (Ginji/Arge)
2263
2264“Well, yeah … but the world may change like the season … It is around time for your feeding staff. What’s that little child’s name?” (Aoba)
2265
2266“It’s Ryūko-chan. Mizushiro Ryūko” (Ginji/Arge)
2267
2268“Oh, it was such a name, I will excuse myself then” (Aoba)
2269
2270“Is that so? Goodbye Aoba-san” (Ginji/Arge)
2271
2272“… I will come again” (Aoba)
2273
2274“Feel free to” (Ginji/Arge)
2275
2276 
2277
2278She made a smile like she’s glad.
2279
2280 
2281
2282“Because cherry blossoms can not be cut easily, let’s have some sakura view, someday” (Aoba)
2283
2284“Ha, yes, if there is opportunity” (Ginji/Arge)
2285
2286 
2287
2288Such days will never come. Even I replied to her like that.
2289
2290The (dream) world is breaking like a flower scattering, my consciousness returns. The end of my dream is near.
2291
2292Her smile is the last thing I saw, it has a slightly cherry blossom color.
2293
2294What is the feeling that is on my face?
2295
2296It’s thin, moist and light warmth. The feeling like a scented remnant moves away.
2297
2298Was that because my promise with her?
2299
2300When I still don’t have the answer, I wake up from my dream.
2301
2302Chapter 70: Capital City of Flowers
2303
2304“… Hmm”
2305
2306When I opened my eyes, there was the smell of cherry blossoms.
2307Something tickled on my face, I used my fingertip and picked up a petal. It seems to have been on my face while I was sleeping.
2308I saw the cherry blossoms from the thinly opened window and sighed. Is it because of the smell that I saw an old memory? 
2309
2310“Good morning, Arge-san”
2311“Oh, good morning, Kuzuha-chan”
2312
2313I greeted back Kuzuha-chan who was waving her fox ears next to me. She opened the window widely and I could see the outside. The scenery blurred by the horse carriage was peaceful, sunny. I looked at the wind swaying the flowers.
2314
2315Now we are on the carriage that Satsuki-san arranged for us. Unlike Zeno-kun’s carriage, because it is for carrying people properly, it is luxurious and comfortable. Although there is shaking, it doesn’t matter that much.
2316
2317There is a proper roof, the seat is also a fluffy one similar to a sofa. Satsuki-san is sitting face to face with us. As for Iris-san, she is sleeping in the coffin deposit as “luggage” with “contents”. She is sleeping on the roof.
2318
2319“Please do not open too much. Satsuki-san, you are weak against direct sunlight right?”
2320“I’m sorry”
2321“No, if I’m careful I will be okay. Also, we are about to reach Sakura-nomiya, so I think it’s better to see the scenery.”
2322
2323Satsuki-san is smiling while saying so.
2324As usual, her clothes are exposing and her breasts seem to burst out, but she doesn’t seem like she cares. Doesn’t she feel why it’s dangerous, I think she should refrain from exposing her skin.
2325Well, she will be okay as long as she doesn’t expose herself to direct sunlight. She is probably quite strong with sunlight resist as a vampire, but still it is dangerous if her body is exposed to sunlight.
2326
2327Well, her kimono is too tight for her so she must wear it this way to be more comfortable. And I must say it suits her personality well.
2328“We will arrive around noon, so shall we eat at first?”
2329“Is that Satsuki-san’s house?”
2330“Yes, my home and workplace”
2331“What kind of work are you doing, Satsuki-san?”
2332“Yes, I run a coffee shop” (喫茶店: Kissaten)
2333
2334This is the first time we hear that from Satsuki-san. A coffee shop, right?
2335But she wears Japanese clothes. It is a green kimono and isn’t really flashy, but it seems somewhat seductive because her body is exposed.
2336While Aoba-san’s kimono was glossy by itself, Satsuki-san’s kimono is marvelous because of her own body and atmosphere.
2337
2338Together with her long black hair and flower hair ornament it makes her look really beautiful.
2339Her behavior makes her seem restless but in fact she is a caring person. However, we can only call her as ‘Beauty in Japanese clothes’ when she is standing quietly.
2340If she walks around the town with her gorgeous make up and her seductive exposed body, people will mistake her with a prostitute.
2341
2342“… isn’t it a tea house?”
2343
2344It was Kuzuha-chan who asks Satsuki-san the question I thought.
2345The meaning of the tea house and the coffee shop probably does not change very much. Both are places we take a break and have drinks and snacks.
2346Just a cafe is western style, while a tea shop can have a Japanese style. I also think it is a tea house just like Kuzuha-chan said.
2347
2348“No, no, there are plenty of teahouses in the Republic, but our house is a coffee shop, and we are the founders who brought in cakes and parfaits to the Republic!”
2349
2350Satsuki-san waved her hands exaggeratedly to deny.
2351I don’t know where cakes and parfaits originated in this world, but she seems to be the first to have started it in the Republic.
2352
2353… It is not an unlikely story.
2354
2355I don’t know how long is a vampire’s lifetime, but it is probably longer than a human. It is knowledge from the previous world, but vampires aren’t looking so old.
2356I do not know how old Satsuki-san is, so it is a mystery, but I don’t think she has the same age as how she looks.
2357
2358“Well, how old are you, Satsuki-san …?”
2359“It’s an ETERNAL, seventeen years old …!!”
2360
2361Satsuki-san’s wink at me while raising her index finger to her lips. Certainly she feels like a teen. Well, I know it’s not true.
2362
2363“By the way, Iris-chan is 687 years old”
2364“Wow! Iris-san is over 300 years older than my mother!”
2365“Both of you, haven’t you said awful things behind her back?”
2366
2367It seems like a girl’s age-related topic is out. Because I was a man in my previous life, I didn’t know such a thing. While I felt something difficult to have girltalk in a carriage, I look outside once again.
2368
2369There are not only cherry blossoms but also other colorful flowers in the scenery that I saw from the window.
2370This is a different world, but there are cherry blossoms. So the other flowers that are visible through this window are also flowers in my world as well.
2371If it was her, she surely would know what sort of flowers they are, she was really good at flower arrangements after all.
2372
2373I ignore Satsuki-san and Kuzuha-chan’s excited girltalk, I close my eyes.
2374It will be a while before we get to the capital. I decided to sleep a little more.
