An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 310: Treated as a monster

"Vampires really are reflected in mirrors, right."

"I don't know either."

"In the first place, I didn't think there really were vampires that weren't monsters."

 Each of them share their impression of the shocking confession.

 It is certainly shocking to really be reflected in the mirror, but I never thought that there really were vampires other than monsters.

 I can't believe this cute little girl is crying in front of me. She is full of unknowns in the world.

"Yoshi yoshi."

"Gusun!"

 Shia immediately pats her head with a 'Pon pon' to comfort her like an Onee-chan.

"Why did you shrink in the first place?"

"I, it's probably the aftereffects of not sucking blood for a long time and lack of nutrition ... Gusu! If I had been awake, I would have been starving and forced to suck blood, but because I was sealed so that I wouldn't wake up, I couldn't suck blood, so it must have made up for it by consuming my body ... Gusu!"

"Isn't that the consequences of your own actions ..."

 When I ask why she shrunk, she sealed herself in order to make a contract with a handsome man, but it seems that her next master came too late and she didn't have enough nutrition.

 It's completely her own fault.

 From what I've heard so far, this guy is ...

 No, I don't know yet.

 I shake my head at my overflowing thoughts.

"My plan was to make a contract with a handsome man and make him my captive, then ... Gusun!"

 Miradia becomes even more depressed at my words and cries again.

 It's unbearable because it's like looking at Nanami when she was young.

"Haa ... Calm down a bit. You've shrunk from lack of blood, is that right?"

 It couldn't be helped, so I decided to send a rescue ship.

"Gusu! ... U, umu. That's right."

 Miradia nods at my words with tears in her eyes.

"If that's the case, then if you replenish your blood, wouldn't you be able to grow?"

"~~ !?"

 When I see Miradia's reaction at hearing my words, she is surprised with an expression as if she hadn't thought of that.

 No, no, it's not really that surprising!!

"How is it? Is it wrong?"

"Fu, fuun, of course, I knew that, too!!"

 When I ask again, Miradia replies with her arms crossed and looks away with an obvious attitude.

"By the way, how much blood do you need to suck to be satisfied? Does it have to be human blood? Do you need normal meals?"

"That's right. When it comes to blood, anything other than human blood is no good. When it comes to a satisfying amount, it's about one small bottle of this size a day. We're not much different from humans other than sucking blood. It's to the extent that it's necessary to take in blood after having a meal."

"Got it."

 Miradia stops crying after gaining the possibility of growing back to her original state and answers my question.

 The small bottles she presents are about 5 ml each. If it's that much, I feel like it's okay to take it every day.

"Nn. I can share that much."

 Shia says what I was going to say.

"I'll share it too."

"It can't be helped, so I'll lend you my strength."

"If Alexia-chan decides to protect her, I will do my best to cooperate."

 Starting with those words, everyone else also comes forward.

 I think it's no good for a man not to go with this trend.

"You're going to be Shia's Imouto. If it's at that level, I'll help out."

"Onii-chan is no good."

"Eh!? Why is that!?"

 I naturally go with the flow, but Nanami rejects me with a straight face.

 It hurts to be rejected by the Imouto I love the most in the world.

"Because if she drinks Onii-chan's blood, Mira-chan will explode!!"

"What exactly does Nanami think I am!?"

 Because the reasoning is too incomprehensible, I reluctantly question Nanami.

"Hmm, monster?"

"I, can I cry?"

 I almost cry when my Imouto calls me a monster.

 What did I do ...

"Hey, I'm joking!! Anyway, girls like girls' blood, maybe."

"Haa ... I get it, I get it. I'll leave the blood thing to everyone. Please don't overdo it."

"Understood."

 I decide to give up on giving blood and leave it up to everyone, and Nanami consoles me.

"Nanami-tachi are willing to share their blood. Is that enough?"

"You guys' blood is enough, but ..."

 I'm sure she could hear us, but when I told her everyone's decision, she put her fingers in her mouth and stared at me greedily.

 Even if you say that.

 When I look at everyone, everyone immediately moves.

"You can't do it!! If you drink it, you'll be in trouble!!"

"Nn. Fuu-kun's blood is no good. You'll die."

"Eh ~ , ah ~ , yeah. I think it would be better for you to give up."

"Right, absolutely give up on Satou-kun's."

"U, umu. I understand ..."

 When persuaded by the surrounding members, Miradia also gives in to the pressure and nods.

"Can I cry after all?"

 My heart, as delicate as glass, shatters into pieces when I am treated like a monster by everyone.

 I am overwhelmed with sorrow and quietly look up at the ceiling so that my tears won't overflow. There is no blue sky, only a dim ceiling.
