Ians arm slowly lowered.

Charlotte looked at him with an expression wondering if he would really listen to such nonsense, but he showed no reaction.

What Tessia said wasnt completely unreasonable.

He could listen first and then cut her throat if it really was nonsense.

As Tessia exhaled what looked like a sigh of relief,

Thunk.

Ian stabbed his sword of condemnation into the ground beside her, the blade pointing right at her neck.

Sitting next to the embedded sword with his hand on the hilt, he spoke.

Ill listen. But if you spout nonsense or try anything, this will become an executioners blade.

Tessias gaze turned to the fairly thin, long sword blade.

A cold shiver.

She swallowed and smiled wryly.

Alright, I get it. But really, believe me. Ive given up on draining your blood. Especially after that day when those mounted humans came swarming to fight you. Before then, I thought if I endured a bit longer, I could capture you. But strangely, after that day, just imagining it made my spine tingle with fear.

The day I raised my ability, huh.

Though nodding calmly, Ian was inwardly surprised.

She sensed that change by instinct alone.

Still, I had no reason not to follow you, since as I said, I didnt need to fight you directly. But when you visited that village before, the situation was a bit different. I couldnt go near the village. At night it was bearable, but during the day my body felt like it was boiling and my gut was churning. It was repulsive.

She must be referring to the vicinity of the Temple of Furnace.

It would have been anathema to her as a vampire, being Lou Enter domain.

What furrowed Ians brow was for a different reason.

The hand gripping his sword tightened.

So what does this rambling have to do with the request?

Thats because I was scared. I thought you might try to kill me the moment you saw me. You probably even know how to kill me for good. I tried to approach you several times, but each time I got too scared to get any closer. Thats probably why this beast noticed me. Got it? You didnt come find me because youre so great. You didnt beat me either. If I was at full strength, I would have torn you to shreds by now, you mutt!

So this is graduated rage.

Watching Tessia glare at Charlotte as if to kill her, Ian thought.

Charlotte let out a scornful laugh.

Hypotheticals are meaningless, filthy snake. In the end, youre the one pinned under me.

Ugh, Charlotte pushed down harder on Tessias arm. Tessia winced in pain but didnt scream this time.

Bragging uselessly about your strength-

The words died in her throat as the sword of condemnation tilted towards her neck.

Emotionless black eyes looked down at her.

So, are you asking me to kill that judge?

He wont be the only one. He told me the tribe wouldnt give up on me. That I might as well just let him take me now. So even if I kill him, another judge will come after me.

...

Ians gaze deepened.

Tessia swallowed and continued.

But those guys are just underlings. The ones who turned me into this monster are still lurking in Rusard. I can never forgive them. So Ian, help me get my revenge. This is my request.

To be honest, it was a very tempting proposal.

Having Tessia by his side meant the vampires he would eventually have to track down and kill would come to him of their own accord.

Perhaps in the game, the way Tessia gained strength was by killing the judges that came after her and absorbing their blood essences.

If he helped Tessia, he could gain the experience from defeating the judges while also preventing Tessia from growing too strong.

It would also weaken the forces of the vampires he would have to kill eventually, killing two birds with one stone.

However, he didnt outwardly show those thoughts.
