Chapter 82: Golden color

We arrived at Rencia. It’s evening and the sun already set. 

As we need to run with fast speed, I couldn’t sleep on Neguseo as expected. 

To be honest, I’m getting sleepy, so I’d like to take a good night sleep and resolve it tomorow

“It is strange, isn’t it?”  (Arge)

The village is too quiet. 

The time zone is night, a small village as a scale. It is normal to be quiet, but this is far too quiet. 

I can’t feel any sound or the sign of any person. The Village is quiet as if a ghost town.  (I only know ghost town, I don’t know if I can change to ghost village)

Even I can feel the smell of sweet flowers, but it only emphasized the eeriness.

“Renge-san, is this …?”  (Arge)

“… I’m sorry … I had to do this, it can’t be help.”  (Renge)

“… What does that mean?”  (Kuzuha)

Kuzuha-chan in her fox form that was carried by me, is suprised and ask a question, but I got some predictions. After all, I knew there was something troublesome.

“Huh … !”  

I held fox form Kuzuha-chan in my arms and get away from Neguseo.

“Neguseo, please stay away”  (Arge)

“I understand”  (Neguseo)

Because we have blood contract, my intention is transmitted without even saying. It is very convenient to have a contract at such a time.

As my words and desires, Neghese is leaving the village. And then I release Kuzuha-chan from my arms, she quickly returned to the human figure.

Kuzuha-chan is in a state of vigilance her tails and ears are standing up.It seems she finally understand that the current situation is dangerous.

“…I’m sorry” (Renge)

Renge-san keep apologize to us.

If we look carefully. Her eyes is empty, there’s no will in her honey like golden eyes.

This was more troubling than I expected. Despite all this, I must first observe carefully.

… Maybe, she is manipulated by someone.

She said that honey devourers had been manipulated by thieves.

So it also possible that they could manipulate her and the village as well.

However I can’t understand why they make her called me here. If they can manipulate the villagers at will, isn’t calling us here are more dangerous for them, why have they brought us here?

In fact, when Akisame-san came to visit, she hide the existence of thieves that manipulated the honey devourers.

Even I uncover what they hide, but I don’t know the reason why they brought us here.

“Arge-san, that girl …” 

“Yes, she probably is manipulated, I will cure her right now”

While answering Kuzuha-chan, I will hold out my hand.

It is unknown whether the curse is due to magic, but Renge-san is clearly affected by something. If I remove it, I will understand a little more.

I concentrate my magical power and prepare to use magic.

What I feel is the flow of magical power over my body. It’s what I’ve done it many times since I was incarnated. I can say that I am used to it.

Then I only need to speak the key words to activate. Breathe in and let the words…

“You better stop it ~♥” 

“What …!!?”

Suddenly, I got chill on my spine.

My concentration scatters in an instant and cancels the magic.

The voice that stroked my ear was a terribly hot and ecstatic voice.

I turn to the direction the voice is.

And I saw a golden colour.

“Good evening ~♥” 

The golden colour is stand out in the darkness of the night, it was the colour of the twin-tails hair.

A girl with golden blonde hair colored, she has a bat-shaped hair ornament and wear a black night dress. Her eyes are red like blood.

Sharp fangs that stick out when she smile, she has a white skin similar to vampire. There’s no mistake, the girl before me is a vampire.

She narrowed down her red eyes and gazed at me like melting.

No, her gaze is sticky rather than hot. It was a gaze that I had never felt before.

… Who is this girl.

I felt like I’m in danger at the moment when I look at her eyes.

I was trembling. The air of the night become cold.

She looks like the same girl as me, it can also be said that she is beautiful girl. I think that it is a perfect beautiful golden vampire girl, in contrast to me, a silver vampire girl.

But it’s obvious that this girl isn’t a good new.

And the golden vampire talk to me quite happily.

“If you try to forcibly dispel the curse of that child, she will die, you already saw that kind of curse, right ?” 

“…you are?” 

“Yes, I would like you to hear my name! Well then, listen carefully, my bride! From now on, You will call me with love all the time!”

While she said things I don’t understand, she turned the dress and she danced in the night. 

She stepped by steps like bouncing in a good mood and come closer to my eyes.

Our height is about the same. Her eyes with the same color as mine looked at me intensely.

“Elsee, that’s my name.” 

“What …!?”

What she’s spoken is a familiar name. 

Elsee. I heard it at Sakura-zaka, it is the name of a vampire who cursed the hot spring. So It’s her who made this troublesome situation as well.

I wonder what kind of dangerous person is she, and why is she targeting me.

It seems that she just call me as her bride, but I don’t understand the meaning at all.

All I can tell is that the person in front of me is dangerous. I do not know what to do. And my body is shivering.

“…you!!”

Unlike me who can not move, Kuzuha-chan is ready herself. 

She knows what Elsee had been doing at the hot spring. And she was obviously angry about it. 

“Ha ha ha …So Intensify” 

Her (Elsee) mouth is distorted and smeared with a smile. “Atomization”.The basic ability of vampire race that I know well. Her figure became fog.

Kuzuha-chan and two of Bushiha-chan lost sight of their target, they stopped the attack and looked around.

“Where …!?” 

“Over here~♥”

A teasing voice echo through the dark night. That voice direction is where Renge-san is. The fog gathered, Elsee return to human form. She appears next to Renge-san.

Elsee-san who just appeared, attached her fingers cheerfully on Renge-san’s cheeks who had an empty eyes.

“Calm down, let’s talk a little, shall we ~♥?”

While saying that, her fingers are attached to Renge-san’s neck. 

Her fingers are thin but it is obvious that they have enough power to kill Renge-san. 

It would be too late for me and Kuzuha-chan to do something, she emphasize it with her fingers.

“… Kuzuha-chan” 

“… Yes, I understand.”

She use words invited me to talk, but in reality it is just a threat. 

Renge-san isn’t a bad person, and I can’t take responsibility for the loss of her life. 

There is nothing we can do for us now but listen to her now.

The golden vampire is burst in laughter in front of us.
