But I'm sorry, Senpai, I'm not Shiki.

I can't give you peace of mind - for the first time, I hate my decision to pretend to be Shiki.

…… Boom!

The heart was ringing loudly.

Involuntary movement of the feet.

However, the pace is not forward...... Rather, backwards.

“…… Shiki? "Confused voices.

…… Boom!

Burning throat.

A loud ringing heart.

The nerves of the whole body perceive the object in front of them as an "enemy".

Gasping for air.

That feeling.

In the body, the poisonous blood of the bow mound that has not yet completely melted, and the body impulse that is gradually boiling, start a fierce battle.

Sure enough, I'm also a person with the blood of the Seven Nights clan in my body.

"What's wrong? Why don't you listen to me...? ”

The heart was pulsating strongly.

With each beat, something begins to flow slowly throughout the body.

Is this the kind of "impulse" that Bowzuka-senpai said?

"Shiki, you ......"

"Yuzuka, I'm back to the way I was."

Still gasping for air, I looked directly at her.

Her face was full of puzzlement.

"Why—!? Why is my blood useless!? ”

“…… I don't know. Frankly, there's still a little bit of ...... The feeling of being mixed into the mud and sand in the body. ”

That's Yuzuka-senpai's, the blood of a vampire.

Unexpectedly...... Just a mouthful of less than one bite can be painful to this extent.

Then, with this kind of blood all over her body, the pain in her body is even more unimaginable.

…… It hurts.

I don't know how many times Sister Bow Tsuka said it, but I finally understood a little.

"Yuzuka, stop. There is no point in doing this kind of thing. You're just sick. Recuperate and get back to health. ”

I don't want someone who is important to me to continue to suffer.

However, in front of him was a pair of eyes full of hatred.

“…… My blood is indeed in you. Well, you should already be a part of my body......! Did you say that you were under the dominion of others before me? ”

"So, I said...... Yuzuka, I haven't encountered this situation before, I just want to help you. ”

What exactly a vampire is, I honestly don't know.

But what if a person has to kill and suck blood in order to survive, and then hide in a corner and cry in agony......

- Well, don't try to get her back to normal, no.

“…… You said, it's painful. ”

"yes, it hurts every time. Because the blood vessels are as thin as humans, the blood circulation alone is almost unbearable. However, as long as you suck more people's blood, you will soon be able to get used to it. ”

“…… You've said it's sad. ”

"Well, I'm sad. Because I want to keep taking everyone's blood to keep myself alive. It has nothing to do with the consciousness of sin, just pure heartache. However, as long as you are not alone, you will not be sad. ”

“…… You said, it's cold. ”

“…… Well, it's so cold, it's so cold, it looks like even your fingertips are about to die. But it's not uncomfortable, it's just that I don't feel warm. ”

"You said that...... I hope someone will come to save you. "There was a faint voice belonging to Zhigui on the phone, and the senior sister at this moment didn't hear the difference from what I said before.

"That's what I thought, but it's too late. I can't go back to the original Bow Tsuka May. ”

With the smile on her face when she went home with Shiki at that time, she said slowly.

"Why...... Why, it's become like this......"

"That's what I want to know, too. Unconsciously become this kind of body, you can't live without drinking human blood...... It's much easier to die directly. ”

She blinked her bright red eyes and her voice was plaintive.

"However, since this is already the case, there is no way to do it. Just like everyone eats animals, I have to eat everyone as a matter of course. ”

"What are you talking about! There must be some way to ......! Definitely, yes......"

I couldn't agree with her statement, just shouted meaninglessly.

She shook her head quietly.

"Why! Is it true that you can't laugh, walk and talk normally as you used to? That was just two days ago! ”

“……”

"Yes, until the day before yesterday, I was with Shiki all the time."

"Well, it's like a dream."

"Well, if I can restore the status quo ante, I'm willing to pay whatever it takes."

In a trance, there seemed to be tears dripping from the bright red eyes.

"But it's no longer possible. I can't get back to the way I was. I can only continue this cold and painful lonely life forever. ”

Sister Yuzuka clutched her chest.

Couldn't help but shiver, cold body.

"---Shiki, save me."

Painstakingly squeezed out of the throat, a small voice.

"I'm so scared. No matter where I go, I am alone, painful and cold, so uneasy. Please, can you help me? ”

…… It's true.

As long as I can restore you to the original Bow Tsuka, I'll do anything.

This is my personal will, and it is the most valuable memento I am prepared to leave in this world.

But.

Her answer, as I expected, was completely different.

“…… Ah. Zhigui, you still want to help me restore my original state...... Really, it's so gentle. I obviously like to kill, but I'm so gentle outside of that, it's so contradictory. ”

Sister Yuzuka smiled happily.

"I said it couldn't be. With your methods, it is impossible to save me. ”

"That'...... So what should I do? I can't do anything, and I want to save you, but I don't know what to do. ”

"It's not like that. You can save me. ”

Sister Bowzuka took a step forward.

- Knock!

A strong sense of crisis makes the body feel cold.

"---Bow Tsuka. You... How do you want me to save you? ”

"It's simple. As long as you are Shiki, it would be nice to be my companion...!! ”

The bright red eyes burst out with a strong killing intent.

…… Worst.

Although he knew the danger, his feet were completely immobile.

And, even if I become your companion, I still can't save you.

- Because I'm not Shiki Tono.

"You say companion, you—"

"Then I won't be alone, and I won't feel cold, and I won't be afraid. That's right, as long as Shiki becomes my thing, I will definitely become happier than before! ”

- Knock!

The heart is ringing loudly.

Without hesitation, Bowzuka-senpai stretched out her hand to my head.

That speed, almost like a bullet.

I can only squat down with all my might.

"Uh-huh......!"

Desperately move your head to the ground.

Then, with the sound of tearing the air, Yuzuka-san's wrist swept over my head at a rapid pace.

"Deceitful ......"

The one who attacks, and the one who dodges.

Both of us felt the consternation in each other's eyes.

"Bow tsuka, you ......"

"Shiki?"

She stared blankly.

And I, knowing that I had to flee, was stiff and unable to move.

- Knock!

The sound of the heart beating, like some kind of signal.

It has nothing to do with reason, and the stiff right hand grasps the things in the pocket.

Sister Yumizuka didn't move.

It's just that the emotion in his eyes changed from surprise to delight.

“…… I see. I thought it would be easy to get Shiki, but in this case—"

- Knock!

Tonight, I think I'm looking forward to it. Isn't that right, Shiki? ”

Red eyes thirsting for blood.

Stretched out at high speed, beastly wrists.

The cold hairs all over the body stood on end.

Before being torn apart.

The right hand, which had nothing to do with consciousness, took out the short knife in his pocket.

- Knock!

"Huh?"

Before his doubtful voice could come out, his wrist moved.

As if I had rehearsed it a thousand times, the knife in my hand cut through her carotid artery.

Fortunately, I retracted my strength in time when I made a move, but it still hurt my senior sister.

"Ahh

Sister Yuzuka let out a terrible scream.

-- stared blankly at his hand.

There it was a blood-stained knife that had just cut her artery.

Why, for this reason, I went straight to the point as soon as I made a move!

“…… Yes. ”

By the way, now is not the time to think about that

Return to normal.

The body moves quickly.

- When you notice.

I was already trembling, fleeing from the bow mound.
