I Want To Escape From the Vampire’s Blood Bag

78 – Omen (1)

– Whiing.

On a clear morning, the cool wind that blows across Lachesis,

It blew into the sanctuary, which was open everywhere, and tickled Lane’s hair.

Lane quietly closed her eyes and held her breath.

“Just a little, a little more… ”

I tried to feel it again, but the emotion that suddenly hit me was gone.

“… … ”

Why did Hayu come to mind?

The subtle magic power felt in the bloodstains was very similar to him.

I hope he… did you come back?

Could this be happening… ?

So, are you at this Lachesis Academy right now?

-!

In an instant, a person passed by Lane’s head.

Servant of Iris.

‘Regen… ‘

My heart starts beating wildly.

However, remembering that it is not good to be presumptuous, Lane put the handkerchief back in place.

.

“ah… ”

Meanwhile, Prissy, who served lemon balm tea, stopped for a moment when she saw Lane.

It was because he seemed to have returned to life more than before.

“… I brought a tea that is good for rejuvenation. And these drugs… ”

Lane rubbed the teacup and sighed softly.

“Prissy.”

“… yes?”

“If Hayu came back, how would you feel?”

“!!”

It’s been a long time since the two of them had a conversation like this.

Floria, Lane, and Prissy didn’t talk about him implicitly.

Prissy was really embarrassed.

the timing… because it was too hot

-I want only the saintess to know my true identity.

his request.

You should answer without panic.

“If that happened… How nice… ?”

– Dalgrak.

Prissy’s hand trembles slightly as she sets the teacup down.

Lane, who enjoyed observing humans, did not miss a single detail of them.

To be honest, I wanted to ask for sure.

Were you with someone named Regen yesterday?

But, is it worth it… I was still cautious.

In the end, Lane decided to check it out himself.

“After getting some fresh air, I recovered a little. Thank you.”

“yes? Are you leaving already…?”

Lane stood up from her seat.

For some reason, my body felt a little lighter.

A bloody handkerchief and Prissy who came to Belle’s room last night.

To Cassidy…

The answer will lie in Regen.

Right Now… You should meet him.

* * *

Lane told Belle to leave the medicine and tea she received from Prissy in the room, then come back.

In order to listen to the first class lecture, I went alone to the library hall.

The lectures here are taught in Academic Ancient Runes.

The cadets are sitting huddled together at a desk that has been cut straight from a tree of enormous thickness.

Rune language itself is a necessary education for nobles, so everyone is familiar with it,

It is a subject whose difficulty has risen dramatically as ancient runes and academic terminology are mixed.

That’s why it was reputed to be the least preferred subject by Lachesis Academy students.

Instead, since it was a required course for the Royal Class, Iris and Regen would be here as well.

———

preparation

———

Perhaps it was right before the exam, Lane confirmed that it was written on the board as self-study, and cautiously sat down at the table with the two of them.

“I think it’s right to interpret it with a sense of investigation.”

“…okay?”

“yes. The location is the nominative case.”

“… Sometimes I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Not knowing that Rain came, the two of them practiced while fighting a little.

The original Hayu would have been unfamiliar with ancient runes, but a man named Rizen was leading Iris more skillfully than he thought.

Rather than a master-servant relationship, it feels like a classmate.

As Lane watched the situation in silence, Regen finally found her and smiled as usual.

“good morning. Lady Arain.”

“uh… ? yes… ”

If Regen is Hayu…

Lane purses her lips.

‘Can I do this?’

‘After suffering so much and then disappearing, I can come back and say hello in the morning as if nothing happened… ?’

‘What kind of heart do you treat me like this… ?’

– Took.

Feeling confused, Lane dropped the feather pen she was holding in her hand.

As the pen slipped into Regen’s seat,

He immediately picks it up and wipes off the dust with his sleeve.

And sneak up on Lane.

“!”

Then, like in a carriage.

His backlit silhouette matches.

-thud.

Lane was now convinced.

‘Lee Ha-yu… ‘

that he came back

Her first intuition is… It is not wrong.

‘what?’

But, for some reason, it seems to be too late.

Besides, there was something else that made Lane even more miserable.

– Knock.

When Rain hardly accepted the pen, Hayu moved her head slightly.

Lane looked blankly ahead and said.

“not really…?”

“yes?”

“this… not really… ”

Something in Lane’s mind begins to crumble.

“…miss?”

That’s right, being nothing… The feeling of becoming

‘Oh, no… ‘

It’s a reunion they’ve been longing for, but it’s completely different from Lane’s idea.

It was because Rizen treated her casually, as if they were meeting for the first time.

‘… If you come back… You don’t have to punish me… ?’

‘Like that time, I blamed and cursed as much as I could… resent me… ‘

Lane started to think of silly things from his past that he longed to see come back.

waiting for him by the lake,

The first thing to say.

sorry.

I practiced over and over again. It’s to contain the truth.

And I tried to talk about all the mistakes I had made so far, one by one.

It would be very embarrassing if it was the original Lane’s personality, but it didn’t matter in front of him.

Because it was all your responsibility.

But he didn’t even get that chance.

It was miserable indeed.

“!!!”

-… Don’t you want to vampirize?

That dejected laugh in the carriage was just a part of tidying up for Hayu.

– Tup.

When Lane received the pen with a trembling hand,

Regen looked at Iris again and focused on solving the problem.

Seeing this scene, Lane was desperately crying out.

only in your mind.

‘Ha, ha yu… ! I’m ready to be punished… ! I was very sorry… ! I don’t miss a single word of what Hayu says… !’

Selfish.

The front of my eyes is foggy.

‘I, I, worked hard… !’

In fact, Lane worked hard. Heartily.

Not only did the treatment of the quarter classes improve a lot, but he was really nice to his direct servant, Bell.

It was all sincere.

I felt proud enough to know why he was so stupidly dedicated.

However, if this was all done as part of atonement for Hayu, wouldn’t it be sincere anymore?

‘Woo-wook… ‘

Lane vomited in her own disgust.

It’s too selfish to think that everything unrelated to Hayu is useless.

Imagination always assumed.

If Hayu, who has returned, sees this slightly humanized appearance,

He found an inner expectation that he might be looked upon favorably.

‘I, I’m so… venomous… ‘

But what if Hayu really comes back?

For Hayu, he is not a sad memory, a love-hate relationship, or a lingering memory.

Not even the object of revenge.

no link whatsoever…

It’s just, it’s a man.

radish. There is none.

‘Oh, no… not… ‘

Rain began to taste extreme sadness, as if he was the only one left in the world.

It felt like I had become invisible.

There is no Arain S. Aspondel in his heart, in any form.

‘Yes… Goa… ‘

I could fully understand now.

And that conclusion soon became watery and flowed down Lane’s white cheeks.

-!!

“miss..?”

With a slightly surprised expression on her face, Rezen took out a hanger chief and handed it to her as if she were used to it.

Keeping it in the front pocket of your pants instead of keeping it in your jacket pocket is the same as Hayu.

“… … ”

The handkerchief he gave was a gift from Iris himself, so it gave off a very sophisticated and gentlemanly feel.

Unlike Hayu’s old handkerchief, which Lane always carries around.

‘Stop, stop… ‘

Even this, and Regen’s words that followed, pierced Rain’s heart.

“… What are you doing?”

friendly tone.

I missed you so much.

But, I didn’t want to hear that.

‘Don’t treat me this way… … ‘

After apologizing for everything and putting it back… I wanted to hear it.

everything is broken

Now he… It was exactly Regen, Iris’s servant.

You appear to be doing well.

At least not when I’m with you.

That’s why, for his comfort, pretending not to know is the right thing to do.

That was the best she could do for Hayu.

‘… … ‘

Even though my heart hurts, I feel like an idiot.

And what remained at the end of the resignation was a little bit of jealousy.

‘As expected, Prissy knew.’

If you go to the dormitory late at night…

Lane immediately gets rid of his thoughts.

Because it just gets more and more miserable.

‘Really, I’m the worst… ‘

It sinks.

to the deep sea floor.

There was nothing more to lose to Lane.

‘No more to lose… ‘

If you have nothing to lose… The answer is simple.

Lane raised her head.

And he faced Regen directly.

“… ?”

I am no longer afraid of those reddish eyes.

As if determined, she opened her mouth.

“…Regen?”

“yes?”

“… … Because you will definitely win.”

Her familiar determination pierces Rizen’s heart.
