Volume 2-Chapter 10

As soon as I entered the room and saw she was awake I forgot to control my speed and launched myself at her.

*Cough* *Cough*

I ended up knocking the wind out of her but, she somehow managed to not fall backward on the bed.

"Ah, sorry. Let me help you."(Rina)

*Flash*

I then used a healing spell of the life attribute, as it was just a minor injury, and I didn't feel like wasting extra mana with a light attribute spell. Once she regained her breath, she looked down at me as I was still hugging her.

"(Confused) Who are you and where am I?"(Potential Girlfriend)

I then let go of her and sat up crossing my legs to sit comfortably on the bed. I noticed the slight shock when she saw my full height.

"Ah, right introductions. I'm Rina Frostfang, and you?"(Rina)

"Uh, everyone just calls me Autumn."(Autumn)

(Confused) Eh? That... doesn't sound right.

"(Confused) Is that it? Is there anything else in your status?"(Rina)

"Ah, you want the name from the status. Then it says my name is Autumn Necrosis, and this weird name next to it in brackets saying Akasha Necrosis."(Autumn)

Ah, I fucking knew it! God, please don't let her be what I think she is!

I then closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"What's your race?"(Rina)

She then tilted her head in confusion, which was really cute.

"(Confused) T-"(Autumn)

"And be sure to read the entire thing."(Rina)

I then decided to be specific just in case she does the same thing as earlier.

"(Confused) Alright? It says [True Vampire (Fenriric 50%)]."(Autumn)

I then covered my face with my hands and slowly moved them down.

Damn it! Of course, she just HAD to be Aunt Kolfinna's kid! Ugh. And... well good thing I didn't use light magic on her.

"*Sigh* Things just got more complicated."(Rina)

She then had a look that was just radiating 'is that bad'.

"*Sigh* No it's... not bad per se. Just kind of complicated."(Rina)

"(Surprised) Eh? Y-You can read my mind!?"(Autumn)

"*Shakes head* No, it's just VERY obvious what you were thinking."(Rina)

"(Embarrassed) *Blush* A-Am I really that e-easy to read?"(Autumn)

*Nod* Embarrassed Autumn is cute.

"*Nod* Ye-"(Rina)

*Gggggrrrrr*

Autumn then covered her face with her hands.

"Uuhh, stupid stomach."(Autumn)

"Pfft, s-seems someone's hungry."(Rina)

"*Blush* Please stop. T-This is so embarrassing! H-How could I be thinking of food i-in this type of situation!?"(Autumn)

*Sigh* As much as it pains me to give up my favorite food, I'll share it with her. She'll... probably be fine. She does have our bloodline.

I then took out a berry and her head shot up and she stared at it but didn't try to take it. I then moved it around in the air and she just kept following with her head. She even started to drool.

Well, at least she has this trait of ours'.

After another minute of this game, she finally snapped out of her trance.

"(Embarrassed) C-Can I please have whatever that is? I-It smells SO good."(Autumn)

"First, wipe the drool off your face."(Rina)

"(Confused) Eh?"(Autumn)

She then touched her face and looked surprised that she was drooling. She then wiped her face with the sleeve of the nightgown she was wearing. once she was done, she held out both hands and gave me puppy dog eyes that were silently begging for food.

Gah! My heart!

I then gave her the berry and pet her head finding that it was in dire need of a good washing.

"*Sigh* I've got to go see someone. I'll be back in a bit. Feel free to dig in."(Rina)

*Nod*

She then started ravaging the poor berry. So, I left 2 more where I was sitting knowing I'll probably have to give her blood when I return and left.

*Flash*

*Flash*

When I arrived at Ella's office, I saw an annoyed-looking Ella with messed up red hair sitting at her desk going over documents. When she noticed my entrance, she gave me a glare that could kill the dragon king.

"(Pissed) What?"(Ella)

Oh, she's mad, mad.

"(Awkward) Haha, n-nice weather we're having?"(Rina)

"(Annoyed) *Frown* What do you want?"(Ella)

Ah, she's going to beat my ass if I waste any more time.

"(Awkward) Ahem, well I need to ask something."(Rina)

"(Annoyed) Out with it. I'm running low on patience."(Ella)

"W-Well I kinda need some information on the demon king of blood."(Rina)

"(Confused) Kolfinna? What about her?"(Ella)

"Just what she's been up to for the last 16 or so years. And the state of her territory and stuff."(Rina)

"(Confused) Why would you want to know that? Wait. Don't tell me. (Upset) You can't leave me for her! What did I do to make you want to leave!?! I-I-"(Ella)

(Surprised) The fuck!? What the hell is she going on about!!? Why does it feel like I'm cheating on her now!?

"(Confused) Wait! Wait! Wait! What the hell are you going on about!?! Leave you for her!? Aren't you fucking married!? And why the hell would I want to be in a relationship with someone notoriously known as a slut!?"(Rina)

"(Confused) Eh? What are you talking about? And what does my wife have to do with anything?"(Ella)

"(Confused) Eh? The way you were talking, you made it sound like I was leaving you for someone else."(Rina)

"(Confused) Wh- *Blush* Sorry for the misunderstanding. I-I meant you w-were leaving the c-castle j-just because you didn't like me anymore."(Ella)

I then gave her a look as if that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard.

"Why would I? I mean I do consider you my big si-"(Rina)

I then tried to cover my mouth but, the damage was done.

"Aww, I never knew you saw me like that. I'm touched."(Ella)

"*Pssh* P-Please stop."(Rina)

(Embarrassed) Gaah! This is why I didn't want to tell her! She is one of the few people who know how to get at me!

She then pretended to think. But not long after she had the biggest shit-eating grin.

"I'll stop... if you call me big sis from now on."(Ella)

I fucking knew it! She always finds a way to get at me!

"*Ppsssshh* I-Is my embarrassment really that entertaining?"(Rina)

"*Nod* Very. Now let's hear it."(Ella)

I was so embarrassed that my ears ended up laying flat.

Gaah! This is even more demeaning than wearing a dress!

"(Embarrassed) B-Big sis."(Rina)

"*Smile* Yes?"(Ella)

"(Embarrassed) W-What should I-I refer to you in a f-formal setting?"(Rina)

"What I'd prefer is you calling me big sis but, Ella's fine. Just don't call me Demon king. I'd go nuts if you 4 started doing that."(Ella)

"*Nod* A-All right. So about what I asked earlier?"(Rina)

"Ah, that. Uh... I think for the past 16-17 years she's been down in Altheria. I'm not entirely sure seeing as all the spies that were there ended up dead and any I send just die soon after. While her being down here isn't actually uncommon as she comes down like once every 10 or so years for like a month.

She rarely ever stays down here for that long."(Ella)

"(Confused) And you just accepted that?"(Rina)

"*Shrug* Meh, if there's 1 thing, I've learned over the years of being a Demon King it's that the Demon King of Blood is just as big a sh- ahem I mean introvert as I am and I shouldn't question what she's doing."(Ella)

"So then how come you talk to me so easily?"(Rina)

"Eh, well that's because it's hard to see you as anything other than a little kid. And trust me when I say I've taken care of my fair share of kids."(Ella)

"(Upset) I'm not a little kid!"(Rina)

She then gave me a look that said, 'you're proving my point'.

"That's exactly what a little kid would say."(Ella)

"*Turns away* Hmph."(Rina)

"Aww, don't be like that. Look I'll even give you a snack."(Ella)

She then opened a drawer we've all come to associate with food. When she opened it, my ears couldn't help but perk up.

(Indignant) Gah! We've been trained!

She then pulled a berry out of the drawer.

"You want it?"(Ella)

"H-Hmph. I-I will not fold!"(Rina)

"Aallll, right! Then I'll just put this back!"(Ella)

She said it in a very exaggerated tone just to get my attention knowing full well how we always react. And just as she predicted I was already eating it from her hand before she could even move.

(Upset) Dammit! I always fall for this! But... It's shoo gooood!

She then began to scratch my ears in just the right place to make me melt like putty. I ended up resting my chin on her lap while I sat on the ground. After a couple of minutes, I remember a question I've been meaning to ask.

"(Happy) Mmm. You wanna enter a contract?"(Rina)

When I asked that Ella stopped scratching my ears from shock.

"(Annoyed) Mmm, continue. It felt so relaxing!"(Rina)

"(Stunned) Eh? W-What did you say?"(Ella)

"(Annoyed) I said you wanna enter a contract? Now make with the scritch."(Rina)

I then emphasized my displeasure by grabbing her hand and placing it back on my head. She then continued much to my pleasure.

"Before I answer that question there's been something I've always wondered."(Ella)

"Hm?"(Rina)

"Why do you 4 let me touch your ears in your beastman form? Isn't that usually only allowed for your partner?"(Ella)

"Mmm, you're close. It's only alright if they're family not specifically a partner. I mean how would a little kid be able to properly groom on their own?"(Rina)

"So, you've considered me family for a while then?"(Ella)

"Mhm, you've been supporting us for a while. While it was kind of awkward the first week or 2 you and Master were the only people I could lean on. (Depressed) Then Master left and you were the only person I had to lean on. *Blush* So, I may or may not have grown a little attached to you."(Rina)

"(Stunned) And here I thought you didn't trust me with things. I mean when you were on the brink of tears that one time you ran to your room."(Ella)

"(Embarrassed) *Blush* I already told you that I needed time! I had just found out my family was gone and needed some time! It's not that I didn't trust you! I just needed to work out my own feelings."(Rina)

"Ah, so that's what it was. And here I was thinking you couldn't lean on me. Anyway, what brought you to ask that?"(Ella)

"Eh, just felt like it. Granted it would be an equal's contract and not a master-servant one."(Rina)

"Yeah, I already assumed it would be that type. Plus, I'd feel uncomfortable doing a master-servant pact with you."(Ella)

"So, your answer?"(Rina)

"Sure. Then let's begin."(Ella)

We both then stood up.

"*Exhale* [I, Ella Wolfiela Rozzon, swear by the dimensional law to assist my contractee Rina Frostfang in her endeavors as I deem necessary.]"(Ella)

"[I, Rina Frozeneye Frostfang, swear by the dimensional law and on the name of my title as clan leader of a mystic clan that I and my clan shall assist my contractor in her endeavors as I deem necessary.]"(Rina)

*Flash*

*Ding*

[Title: Contractor of the Demon King of Fluff acquired. Demon King of Fluff added to clan board. Contractor tab has been added to status.]

Once, the contract was over I felt a connection with Ella through our contract followed by a notification.

Hm, neat.

*Thump*

I then saw Ella faint.

"She'll be okay... probably."(Rina)

I then checked her vital signs just to be safe and found that she was fine and she just fainted from shock and not mana drain. I then moved her over to the couch.

*Nod* Alright, that should do. Now I've got a certain-hungry vampire to take care of.

*Flash*

And with all the things I needed to do done, I teleported to her room.
