“I…can’t believe I was seen…”
“I’m curious though…”
“Of what?!”
“Of why do you hate your father.”
“Hmph. Why are you being nosy! Some little girl you are!”
“…”
“What?”
“Felix!~”
“WHAT?! YOU--!”
“FELIX!~”
“Don’t you dare…”
“I wonder if Felix could talk. I bet he can’t. I’m going to talk for Felix to your father.”
“Gunununu…You’re just a human child!”
Eh?! She snaps at me.
Diyu looks furious. She pins me down into the bed and she straddles on me. She presses her body onto mine. She then whispers in my ear.
“If you think you can make fun of a true ancestor daughter, that’s where you should start rethinking your decisions. Know this fear against us vampires, Ruler of the night.”
I don’t know if I said too much or not but her sudden actions are something I don’t understand. She licks my neck several times and now it’s wet from her saliva. For some odd reason, I am not afraid. As these thoughts swirls inside my head, I feel her fangs digs its way into the flesh of my neck.
She begins sucking my blood. She does it very gently. She will eventually lick it again, then gently taps it with her lips and then proceed again in sucking.
I don’t feel a bit threatened. In fact, even if it stings, I don’t hate it.
Not even ten seconds past, I started getting light-headed… I’m losing consciousness…
She even starts holding me by the waist and lifts me up while her other hand is caressing my body. From my neck to chest, down to my navel, in which her other hands, in turn, crawls from my waists to my back going to the nape.
I could resist, but I feel like I don’t have any energy to do so as her fingers run through every nook of my body. I don’t even know what’s going to happen to me…
“This is…a thousand times better…than almost losing my purity to a devil…”
“!”
I don’t have much awareness of my surrounding anymore but I know what I said and I honestly think it’s true.
THUD
When Diyu heard my murmur, she immediately retracts her fangs from my neck and she suddenly let go of me. I don’t have any strength to even properly sit now but from the dull sound that I heard, she fell on her knees.
She began speaking with a shaky and apologetic voice.
“I—I’m sorry…I almost killed you…I…I don’t know what gotten into me…”
“…”
“How could I… to someone like her…I’m really sorry!”

“Don’t…shout…too much…my head…is spinning…”
“Ah--!”
.
.

After resting for a while, I heal and cure myself. Diyu is just sitting there on her knees while looking down. It seems she really doesn’t mean what she did.
I'm surprised I was able to hold my own awareness in that situation. I think I lost too much blood. Even now, I am in a bit of daze from that situation. In the bed and on my shoulder, there is blood spilled everywhere. Just how much did she suck?!
“Umm…Miss Diyu…”
“I’m honestly sorry. I planned to just scare you a little bit, but at the moment I tasted your blood, I felt euphoric. It’s like your blood is out of this world. It feels like I am directly drinking blood from a holy grail. It is so pure and delicious that I instinctively sucked greedily on it and was swayed by the heat of the moment.”
“No, I am sorry too for making fun of you. It must have hurt your pride.”
“But what I did is unthinkable for someone who practices discipline in and out of the battle. Not to mention that if I continued any longer, you would surely die.”
“So I guess we are both at fault.”
“And now, I feel like I am low as a devil…”
“!”
“I am an S-rank adventurer and with my colleagues, we hunt devils all over the continent. Overall, these devils destroyed small villages and town already. Of course, they killed many of our people as well. There are also cases where devils will sexually assault their victims…”
I once again remember that night where I am helpless and weak. It played it my head many times already. I want to get over it but I don’t why I can’t…
I just hug my knees and silently cast my gaze down. As of now, I am ridden with the feeling of fear and helplessness at the same time, regret and pitiful. If I am just stronger…
Diyu just looks at me worriedly. She is admirable as she has the pride to boast. She defeats these devils for just cause. If she were able to do it, then it’s an implication that she is a capable fighter.
Strong people gather around me, but it’s hard to get stronger even with them around. Even Higan is constantly improving at a fast rate. It’s not surprising that someday, she don’t need me anymore as a barrier… someday she will just get fed up on how weak I am… and all the time, Alstroe will just save me repetitively like it’s a natural thing.
The silent between me and Diyu breaks when she starts talking again.
“Ten years ago, our continent suffers from poverty and famine. At that time, I’m still young. This city is not affected and in fact, was already the center of the economic boom. The demon lord who ruled for more than a thousand of years forces people to work with no wage or anything. That heartless demon name is Baal.”
“…”
“Because of his power and legacy, he is feared and revered as the strongest demon alive. Demons believe that he can dominate the whole world and he will do so as his army is getting stronger as the day passes. Even father admitted that Demon Lord Baal far surpasses his power, that he can also defeat the white dragon sage Mrothgir.”
“…”
“But one day, we heard the news. Demon Lord Baal was dethroned and his army was annihilated.”
“Eh?!”
“…It was a man, at that time, the future king, the one entitled as the hero not only by humans but a hero of the whole world. But he is not saintly as what a hero should be. I think you already heard of him once or twice. The Rage King, Ashfon.”
“Ashfon…”
“He gave mercy to Baal when he defeated him and his army with the help of a magician and two of his companions. Together, they sealed Baal in the Cave of Helix. Since then, I idolized strong people, including my father.”
“…”
“But one day, mother left us. Up until now, I don’t know the reason behind it. Father and mother refused to tell me the reason. All I want is for father and mother to make up, but father is stubborn, which is one of the reasons I hate him.”
“…”
“Two years after that, the selection for the new demon lord began. I really though father would grab the opportunity to rule the whole continent. I am excited because that also means he needs to live in the capital and will eventually make up with mother. But he refused it! For a shitty reason that he wants to protect this culture that he cultivated! That he wants to protect those undead! If he was the Demon Lord, he could have protected more people!”
“Ah…”
“When he rejected it, my world crumbles together with my respect for him. I began to furiously train myself. I started honing every power that I have and started to swing sword repeatedly. After a few years, I left this place and go on an adventure, and true enough, our people is still suffering from the attacks of the devils! The demon lord we have right now is just an incompetent kid! I became an adventurer to gain experience and become stronger! And someday, I myself will claim the throne of being the demon lord!”
“Miss Diyu…”
I know heard the story behind everything…I wonder how she is going to flip her rage switch when she learns about the reason for her mother and father separating. But one thing is for sure, she has a firm and unwavering resolve. I can feel her intense passion and her blazing spirit.
What about me?
I did resolve myself. I have one thing to do, but, can I really call it my reason for being? Is it even a firm resolve? Can I go further than that? I don’t know…as I learn more about people…doubts and fear shroud my mind…
I stand up and staggers a little from being light headed…but I was able to stand firmly. I walk towards Diyu, who is still sitting on her knees. I also sit on my knees and look at her eye to eye.
“Miss Diyu is admirable. I…I wish…I can be like you…”
“Really? I mean after what I did to you? You are not angry?”
“No. It’s my fault for mocking you and eavesdropping on you in the first place.”
“I see. I am glad. Thank you… I… I never let anyone knows about my circumstances, even with my colleagues… this time…I just blurted it out to you…but you…understands it immediately…I think… our meeting today…is forged by the stars! Asagao!”
“You finally called me by my name.”
Diyu, who is now clearly making a relief and happy face, grab my hands and hold it.
“Asagao, if you don’t mind, can I be your fr--!”

CREAK
The door of her room suddenly opens slowly. At the doorway, there stands Alstroe, Higan, Balrog and the maid Lirin.
Alstroe and Balrog are clearly happy. I don’t know how much of our conversation they have heard but I am guessing they have been there for a really long time as Balrog looks fondly at Diyu and Alstroe just nods her head in affirmation.
The maid Lirin is only standing at the side quietly.
The only different one is Higan. She stares down at us…no…to Diyu alone…full of hostility and contempt…
The light in her eyes is gone…
I know what that is…but please let me be wrong.
