NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 31: "Abstain from combining bloodsucking and energy draining at the same time." - Last Will and Testament
Abstain from combining bloodsucking and energy draining at the same time. – Last Will and Testament
After being summoned by the young lady, I worked diligently the next day after school, just like any other day.
After going through the tea party, I have become capable of handling basic tasks on my own.
Even though I thought I had gotten closer to Sakura, who had been guiding me, she is avoiding me again.
Although the perceptive young lady seemed to understand, she told me to give Sakura some space. But if the cause is the bloodsucking from my neck, should I have refused then?
However, if I hadn’t accepted, we wouldn’t have called each other by our first names. It’s a frustrating situation.
While carrying this discontent, I was cleaning the hallway, and suddenly felt someone’s gaze.
It’s one of the skills I acquired from my part-time job as an adventurer, being able to sense things.
Following my intuition, I turned around abruptly and made eye contact with Sakura, who was partially hidden against the wall.
“Ah…”
As our gazes met, Sakura’s body twitched.
“Sakura? Do you need something?”
“Uh…”
I gently called out to her so as not to scare her, but she blushed and lowered her head.
Upon closer inspection, she seems to be trembling. Could she be feeling unwell?
I want to make sure, but I have a feeling she would run away if I got too close. I can easily imagine that based on past experiences. But just waiting without doing anything is becoming unbearable.
So, I bent down and apologized to Sakura.
“I’m sorry. If I did something again, I apologize.”
“Eh, no, there’s no need for you to apologize, I should be the one apologizing… Or rather, it’s my fault…”
“But there must be a reason you’re avoiding me, right? If that’s the case, then maybe I’m the one at fault…”
“No! I’m the one who should apologize!”
“No, it’s me…”
“It’s me!”
“…”
“…”
“Heh, hahaha.”
“Hehe.”
For some reason, the atmosphere turned into an odd exchange of taking responsibility, and I couldn’t bear it, so we both burst out laughing without really resolving anything.
Even though nothing had been solved, the awkwardness between us seemed to fade.
After a while of laughing together, Sakura, who had regained her composure, approached me a few steps.
“Isaya-kun. About the conversation after the bloodsucking the other day, do you remember?”
“Ah, yeah… I mean, I can’t forget, so to speak.”
“So, um, if that’s the case, there’s something I’d like to ask you again.”
“Uh, sure.”
Blushing on her cheeks, Sakura made a formal request, and I couldn’t help but feel nervous in response.
Could it be that she wants me to forget about it?
The bloodsucking on my neck and the fact that she had acted all clingy might not have been very appropriate from a girl’s perspective.
If that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to accept it, even though it’s disappointing.
I was vaguely following that train of thought, but what came out of her mouth was completely different.
“Is it okay if I only do it during the bloodsucking… um, could I be clingy again?”
“Huh?”
She hesitantly and timidly expressed her request with an upward gaze, and I unintentionally let out a dumbfounded voice. Because, I mean, something like that…
“If that’s all, then it’s totally fine. I thought you wanted me to forget about it.”
“I, I can’t be selfish enough to say something like that, even though it was me who requested the bloodsucking… Seriously, Iisaya-kun, you’re a weird person…”
“Weird?”
Even though I was acting completely natural.
Seemingly irritated by my lack of understanding, Sakura glared at me with narrowed eyes.
“It’s weird. Normally, it’s only natural for people to be scared of bloodsucking from a half-vampire Vanpir like me, right? Even though you used to be an adventurer,how do you not know this?”
“Well, I admit I’m not well-versed in it, but as an adventurer, it wasn’t necessary to deal with half-vampires or anything.”
Regardless of how it started, during the five years I worked as an adventurer, I had never heard of them being Apostles of the Demon Lord.
Earning my daily bread by completing as many requests as possible was more important than anything else. It wasn’t necessary for me as an adventurer to know about the affairs of half-vampires.
And as I mainly worked solo, it wasn’t due to lack of opportunity to ask anyone. I had senior adventurers who taught me how to behave as an adventurer, and I had teamed up with junior adventurers too.
Without saying it out loud to anyone, I turned towards Sakura, trying to put up a front.
“As far as I’m concerned, the first half-vampire I encountered and got to know is someone as beautiful and kind as Sakura.That’s all I’m glad about.”
“Huh…”
While it might be a somewhat cheesy line, I conveyed my honest feelings. Sakura widened her crimson eyes in surprise.
“~~~~!!”
After a few seconds, maybe she comprehended, her face turned as red as her eyes, almost instantly. Uncharacteristically, her mouth was slightly open, and she seemed to be squirming all over.
Was it too embarrassing for her? If that’s the case, then I must seem pretty lame.
“Ikkun♡”
「「！」」
Just as I was processing the fact that I had probably created a new embarrassing memory, a bright, drawn-out voice echoed in the hallway.
Instinctively turning my gaze towards the source of the voice, I saw Lilith literally bouncing towards us, running with her chest bouncing energetically with each step.
Whoa, they’re bouncing quite a bit.
While my eyes were captivated unintentionally, my left arm was sandwiched between Lilith’s plump breasts, who approached me at point-blank range.
(Ah……。)
“Oh… Sorry I couldn’t feed on you yesterday, Ikkun~? To make up for keeping you waiting all day, I’ll give you extra special service today~”
“Could you please not word it as if I was eagerly anticipating it?”
“That’s a lie~♡ Ikkun, you were looking at Lil’s boobs for a whole second longer than usual, weren’t you~?”
“I-It’s not like that at all, and it’s just your imagination.”
“Aha~ You’re so flustered~. You’re cute~♡”
Even though Sakura was here, Lilith’s tone remained as usual, and she easily played with my emotions.
Even though we had just started to bridge the gap, it’s the worst to be exposed for looking at another girl’s chest… It’s not my fault,I swear, it’s just male nature. Please understand.
“Lilith…”
“Oh, Sakuchan was here too~. Were you having a little chat with Ikkun?”
“N-No, we’ve pretty much finished talking about what we needed to…”
“I see~. In that case, I’m just gonna borrow some of Ikkun’s essence for a bit~.”
With that, Lilith and Sakura exchanged words, and having concluded their business, Lilith grabbed my arm to lead me away.
However…
“—N-No… you can’t…”
With a tense voice, Sakura grabbed the cuff of my tailcoat and stopped me.
“S-Sakura…?”
“Sakura-chan?”
Both Lilith and I turned our attention to Sakura due to her unexpected action.
In that moment, her expression appeared somewhat lonely, akin to a puppy that didn’t want to be separated from its owner.
Even though she understood it was unavoidable, her emotions of not wanting me to go were easily decipherable.
“Phew~”
While I was bewildered, Lilith seemed to have sensed something and had a knowing look on her face.
“Today is the day I’m supposed to get some blood. So, no… it’s not allowed.”
Sakura, who seemed to have no room to worry about our state, explained the reason for stopping us, her gaze shifting back and forth as she spoke.
Her voice, so weak and shaky, was far from confident, as if she was aware of how inadequate her explanation was.
However, that clumsiness was enough to make me stop in my tracks.
“Well~ Lilith is already a day overdue from her regular schedule~ so wouldn’t it be fine for her to absorb some essence first~?”
“Uhm, well…”
Sakura’s argument seemed to lose its momentum against Lilith’s sound reasoning, as she was well aware of how important both bloodsucking and essence absorption were.
Realizing that her reasons wouldn’t hold up, Sakura pouted and looked at me with teary eyes, as if seeking my assistance.
Hey, stop that, it’s not fair to use that expression, that’s cheating!
She’s usually so composed, yet she becomes so childlike and emotional. It’s not fair at all, is it?
Especially when she looked at me after the bloodsucking incident, I thought something was off, but what’s up with her?
“Ahaha~. If there’s nothing more to say, we shouldn’t waste time, right? Let’s get the energy absorption over with quickly. Right, Ikkun~?”
As I found myself being pulled by Lilith’s irresistibly cute demeanor, she chuckled victoriously.
And I realized something.
Could it be… is she actually enjoying Sakura’s reactions?!
This sadist, even towards her friends, she doesn’t hold back at all!!
As if sensing my frustration, Sakura’s expression suddenly changed, as if she had an idea.
“U-Um, what if… during the essence absorption, Ikkun can’t control himself and something goes wrong? How would you handle that?” Sakura exclaimed
“Well, I can’t touch her without Lady’s orders.”
“Please, Isaya-kun, keep quiet!” Sakura shouted atme
“Yes…”
“If it’s Ikkun, Lil doesn’t mind, right~?”
“Huh?!”
“Huh?!”
What did she just say?
Wait, no, surely she’s joking, right?
She’s just trying to provoke a reaction from me, right?
Please say that’s the case, don’t stick out your tongue and give me that sly smile!
In an instant, I felt an intense gaze from the right.
It was Sakura, looking at me with a disappointed expression, as if she had lost faith in me and my inability to calm down.
“I-Isaya-kun… Are you… looking forward to it?”
“S-Sakura, it’s not like that, this is Lilith’s prank—”
“Ik-kun, you’re so mean! Teasing both Lilith and Sakura’s maiden hearts like this is the worst!”
“For someone who’s currently toying with people’s emotions, you’ve got some nerve saying that!!”
Cut it out with the expert acting, it’s unfair!
And you’re the one having the most fun, aren’t you?!
Feeling completely spun around by this overwhelming situation, I felt like I couldn’t regain control on my own.
Help me, Ojou-sama, Mayday Mayday!
As I sent out an imaginary SOS in my mind…
“—I understand. In that case, I have an idea too.”
“What’s your idea?”
With a resolute expression, Sakura caught Lilith’s attention.
And then, she said it.
“To prevent anything from going wrong, I… I’ll supervise!”
“Ohh~”
“Huh!?”
I couldn’t help but raise my voice in disbelief at this outrageous declaration.
Supervising Lilith’s energy absorption would essentially mean that I, bound and blindfolded, would be in an embarrassing state, unable to escape the humiliation, and that Sakura would witness it all…
Oh no, just imagining it is making me blush!
I can’t see anything but a future filled with misery.
And above all, what’s more terrifying is that Lilith seems to be delighted by the idea!
I might be in for something worse than the usual essence absorption.
I might just die today.
“Oh, I see, I see~…”
With me cowering in fear, Lilith put a finger to her chin, appearing to think deeply about it, before breaking into a sunny smile.
It was an angelic smile of a succubus.
Please, at least just give me some credit for not screaming in terror.
“In that case, how about we make it even more interesting? Let’s do both energy absorption and bloodsucking at the same time!”
“Both at the same time?”
Ah, I’m dead.
“Yeah~. That way, Lili and Sakuchan won’t have to compete over Ikkun, and it’ll be a mutual watch over each other, right?”
“I see. If that’s the case, no one will lose…”
“Don’t ignore the fact that my lifespan might get shortened!”
I realized I was doomed the moment Sakura, who is usually quite sensible, accepted the idea.
There was no room for my desperate retort to be heard by the now enthusiastic pair.
With each of the two beautiful girls holding one of my arms, I had no say in the matter. In no time, I was led to an empty room.
[T/L: am not jeally….really….they are 1D…u know…1D…arghhhhhh. Amitabha I hope it hurts him badly ]
With her cheeks still rosy, the composed half-vampire Sakura and the sadistic no-holds-barred succubus Lilith faced me, their expressions revealing their intentions.
“Well then, Isaya-kun.”
“Let’s get started, Ikkun.”
“Bon appétit♡”
“U-Um, please be gentle…?”
That was the best I could muster while my cheeks contorted.
Hey, Mom and Dad, wherever you are. Your son, who became a slave and was bought by a vampire young lady to serve as food for beautiful maids…
―I’m pretty sure I’ll be reaching Nirvana soon.
With that sort of testament-like thought in my mind, I surrendered myself to the embrace bloodthirsty and lustful appetites of the beautiful girls, allowing them to feast upon my blood and essence.
[End of Volume One]
=====================
Thank you so much for reading up to this point!
I hope you’ve enjoyed Isaya’s enviable yet somewhat undesirable slave life.
As for the upcoming Volume Two, unfortunately, I don’t have any drafts ready yet, so there might be some delays (＞Д＜；).
Nonetheless, I’ll try my best to write and update the story gradually during the reader selection period.
Well then, until next time~!
