CH 39

I already told you guys this is R-15 Novel.

There’s NO HENTAI logic or GURO logic here.

This is just a simple tregedy, the lord kill the mother

and use her body as main supply power to use spell.

Her body is still intact and look like sleeping.

This time is a “Cliff Hanger” but not so much impressive as the “feel”.

====================================================

The first thing after I entered the food store and return to human form was to pinch my nose.

… Onion is bad.

The headache hurt a little to the green onion’s scent that drifted from large quantities onion.

After becoming a vampire, my sense of smell has become sharp, and my nose is getting stronger by the smell strengthening skill effect. 

Even if I smell just fine when I was a human being, but right now, it smell so bad that enough to kill me. 

If onions is cooked with fire, I can eat deliciously, but the unique smell of uncooked onions is the worst.

It seems that rice and wheat flour are also kept in the food cabinet, but the odor of green onion is terrible.

“Uhm … … this way, right?”

While blocking my nose nose, I hurry run to the back of the food storehouse. 

There was a staircase to the basement, there is wind blow so it is no longer necessary to block my nose. 

The wall around the stairs is somewhat unnatural.

I guessed this basement has been made later after the mansion was built. They make space by digging holes and breaking the floor of the food storehouse. That’s why it’s an unnatural connection.

…Isn’t this usually build in bed room?

This is a large renovation. It is no doubt that the lord himself has done it. But why did not him create an entrance to his room? 

This is a staircase to the secret basement, no matter how you look. It is natural for the entrance of these things to be built so that you can get out your room. 

Because people were in his room (like his family) can get oout without being seen by anyone and there is no way that someone can sneak in without his permission because they have to go through his private room.

But the entrance leading to the basement of this mansion was in the food warehouse. There is indeed weird.

… Are the cook is also the lord?

If so, you can convince to build an entrance to the basement in a food cabinet that only you can enter …. Well, I can not help but thinking. 

As It became troublesome, I decided to accept the facts in front of me and go down the stairs. 

While feeling cool air throughout the body, I get down to the basement. I feel cold unless I wear something but I can not do it right now. 

I go down the stairs little by little and eventually arrived in one room.

It was a huge painting on the floor that first came into my eyes when I got off the stairs. 

The picture drawn with a circle purple paint, and there are several complicated patterns in the circle. 

A strange picture like drawing a circle and overwriting a lot of symbols in it. The word “Magic square” immediately came into my mind. 

Purple paint is emitting light, and it has a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Armor with sword was arranged so as to surround the magical square around. 

A full plate that covers everything from head to toe.

And in the center of the team, she was. Tied to the chain extending from the ceiling and was hanged. 

The fox-colored fur is dirty, the ear hangs without force, and the kimono she’s wearing is severely torn. 

The feet have not reached the ground and are slightly floating. Only her nine tails that slammed down all the time are touching the floor.

“Ah…”

I understood it at the moment I saw it. I knew it. The mother‘s life has run out long ago. 

Just being hung and weakening does not feel that way. 

She is not weakened. Her soul is missing. Her heart is not even beating. 

It was a very natural, corpse.

Even though I could understand that, I approached the lady being hung.Do not need to worry about magic square’s paint getting stamped on.

“…Good evening”

Looking into the face from below, she was surprisingly beautiful. 

The eyelids with long eyelashes are closed and the plump red lips are thin open as if breathing. Her body is still remain intact, there is no scratch or hurt. 

There is no smell of death or smell like the flesh has decayed. There is scent of beast and sweet scent peculiar to women. 

Far from being dead, she only look like she’s just sleeping.

Still, she is not alive. As if to sleep, she is dead. 

Without say anything  return to my words. She is there, silence. 

Her body is beautiful, is there some kind of antiseptic treatment is applied.

… If so, what is this feeling?

The flow of magical power still here. The source is definitely from her body. 

I wonder if the corpse have called me. Then Why, how? 

When I still in doubt, one thing happened under my feet, purple magic square started to shine strongly.

I thought it was a trap at first, but it seems to be different. 

The purple light turns into gold.

A woman appeared before me, with the same appearance as the one I’m holding.

Her fox’s ears and fox’s yellow eyes are open.

The kimono she is wearing is somewhat flashy, a red flower with a unique shape was drawn, which is similar to Higanbana. 

From her thin smile mouth, the beast’s fang is peeking. 

Someone who looked just like the suspended woman.

“You are?” 

“This will only happens when someone other than a human being appears here, I will leave this record.” 

“Record …?” 

“I was invited by the Lord of this mansion, he want me to stop the war and seek out ways together to do that … that kind of story.”

She keeps talking ignoring me in her sight, neglecting the question I ask.

From her word, the woman who is talking in front of me is probably the same person who is hanging next to me. 

Before her life was exhausted, she left images and words magically. A will of video format in my former world. 

In the world that I know, the words recorded in the video and recorder can not be treated as legal wills … This is a different world, the one talking is the fox lady using her magic power, the one watching is a vampire. You do not have to tell me some stupid things. I know it isn’t video wills. (T.N: break the four wall ? Author)

She is similar to Kuzuha-chan, but with a more calming and mature feeling.

“I was deceived …. I don’t want get revenge … It is somewhat devastating when my life come to an end. But only my daughter, Kuzuha, is concerned … … Because she is a pure child … Oh, did you see her yet? She is a pretty baby that she was born and she is so cute.” 

“What are you doing at the time of death?”

Even though I understand that her illusion can not understand me because she is a picture. 

Because she can’t hear my word, she arrange the photos one by one. It is a lot of affluent attitude to be caught. 

I wonder if she is really dead, this person. Also, there are pictures in other worlds too.

“… Well, I sorry for the distract, I will return the story soon.”

I do not know the exact time because there is no clock, but after doing some doting parent work for a couple of minutes, she have returned the tone of her voice to a serious one. 

She is a kind of up – and – down person. She may be similar to her daughter.

“I do not know who is watching this video and I know that I was not obliged to ask, but … I wonder if I can ask you to take care of my daughter … please … I hope you do.”

Deeply lower her head – With that posture, the fox lady turned something like golden particles, scattered and disappeared. 

At the same time, the fox-colored light inside of the basement change back to a mysterious purple light.

“… She is a stupid person, is not it?”

As she’s dying, she prepare words to tell her daughter because her daughter is so important to her. 

“I can not fulfill your wish”

I think that feeling is precious. But why should I and how can I do such a thing? 

Far from looking after someone else, I’m looking for someone to take care of me. 

I have no connection, I don’t even know if I can live for myself. Even if I ask about the dead body I just met today, I have no answer.

“… All I do is to return the favor.”

I just want to return what I got. To that end, I will bring her back to her daughter. 

What to do after that is Kuzuha-chan’s decision. She is neither an outsider (me) nor dead (the mother), she is a girl who has to keep on living.

I unwind chains wrapped around the body of the fox lady who I do not even know her name. 

It was not tied or locked, it was not difficult to just remove it because it was just rolled up, but I took a bit of trouble because of the height problem.

“Okay, I got you”

The height of the fox lady is higher than me and because the body is dead, there is no power in the body, she is heavy. 

Nonetheless, I am a vampire with cheat power, I can carry her just fine.Politely, in the form of a princess pick, I take Kuzuha-chan’s mother.

Let’s return to Kuzuha-chan’s hut. The moment I thought so, the shine under my feet increased again. 

Different from before, light does not change to fox color. The purple shine fills the entire room.

“Who dare come into my basement at late night like this ?”

The voice that struck from the staircase is the voice of a man with a calm atmosphere.

Perhaps it was a mechanism that would be detected when moving a corpse. So troublesome.
