I Was Summoned As A Hero, But I Became The Demon Lord Instead

"Master, you're a v.i.r.g.i.n who's never fallen in love before, right?"

"Like you're one to talk."

"How rude, I may be a dorky glasses wearing v.i.r.g.i.n high school girl, but I've at least had crushes in the past."

"You know, if you take off those glasses and put down your hair you'd look a lot more attractive. You're part vampire now that you are my servant and I've been meaning to bring it up, but you're bringing shame to my race by going around looking like that.

"Me? Look attractive? I think you think too highly of your race. Just because I turned part vampire doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to turn into a drop dead gorgeous babe."

Hmm. Is that what she thinks?

"Kneel."

She hung her head forward over the shogi board.

"What are you doing?! Wait! You can't take those off, they're my identity as a glasses girl. If I lose that I'll lose the very thing that defines my existence!"

Feeling a bit amused I crushed her glasses and cruelly let them fall to the ground right before her eyes. It somehow felt like I was bullying her, but this was for her own good.

Sniff. Sniff.

"How could you do that?"

"Wait, stop. Why are you crying? They're just glasses, right?"

"For you they're just glasses, but they were glasses passed down throughout my family. They were over two hundred years old, you could even say they were a family heirloom."

"That's a lie, right?"

"They cost a whole dollar! Give me back my dollar!"

"They aren't even prescription glasses then!"

"What do you even know about prescription glasses?!"

"Shut up and stay still."

I undid her braided hair and let her black hair flow freely and cleaned it up a bit. I wiped off the dirt from her face and manipulated the flow of blood in her body to give her cheeks a slightly red blush adding a bit of colour to that pale white face of hers. It's a shame we were vampires and couldn't see our reflections, so I didn't really have a way for her to see herself immediately.

Since we couldn't use a mirror, I summoned my pet, Fluffy Bunny, and had it paint a picture on the ground. It was a surprising ability I discovered it had and was one of the few reasons I kept it around. It was both something I could vent my frustrations towards and it even had a fairly useful ability for vampires as a plus on the side.

After five minutes, I pulled her head over to take a good look at the picture that was drawn out on the ground.

"Who is that supposed to be a picture of?"

"This would be you."

"What?! Are you picking a fight with me? Is this some sort of new form of bullying?"

"Girl, you are now part vampire, this is the very minimum I would expect of my servant."

"You're joking, right? You really expect me to believe this beauty is me?"

She touched her face in disbelief and started to feel about her hair to try and compare it to the picture. After a while she opened her eyes wide like she had received the biggest shock of her life.

"Isn't being a vampire a bit too overpowered? Just by being a vampire my charm stat went up that much?"

"Duh, that is a privilege that comes with being a vampire. Be grateful you brat."

"Why don't we see how that idiot reacts?"

"Here change into this."

I pulled out a beautiful finely crafted dark red dress I had my pet buy in the city on the 70th floor. It was ornamented with several silver bloodied crimson crosses on the cuffs and skirt portion. Of course, I got rid of her stupid masculin pants and put on some black stockings to emphasize her curves.

"Much better, it's been bugging me for the last four months now, watching my servant look like a dorky guy."

She wore a troubled expression like she didn't know how to respond anymore and just stood their meekly clearly embarrassed by her present look out of the norm for her.

I snapped my fingers, but even after waiting thirty minutes while playing another game of shogi, that no good walking food of mine didn't show up. With a frown I scanned the dungeon and found he was presently sitting on the ground a kilometer away clearly ignoring my summons. He's really getting c.o.c.ky for food I see.

"Uh, maybe he's just busy? Anyways, it's too embarrassing to show myself in front of him like this. Just let me change back already."

"Absolutely not, this is a command, go bring my food to me."

"I don't want to!"

She may say that, but against her will she was still walked out of the room towards the direction he was presently located at.

(POV 45th summoned Hero)

Uuuuu. This is the worst. In a dress that definitely didn't suit me, I was forced to appear in front of my self proclaimed rival. What's with this strange form of harassment.

"Oh? Who are you?"

Eh? He didn't realize who I was? Do I really look that different?

"Are you another one of her servants?"

I tried to make my voice more high pitched and sound more girly since I felt too embarrassed to say it was me.

"Yes, I'm one of her servants."

"Oh, this is the first time I'm seeing you around here. It's pretty rare to see anyone related to Yueliang. Were you on an extended errand or something?"

"Yes."

"Anyways, tell her I'm not going. If she wants to see me, she should come and see me herself. Does she really think I will come and go at her beck and call? She'll suck my blood when she's hungry and then violently toss me away like an unwanted c.o.n.d.o.m after she's had her way with me?"

Uh, it does sound pretty bad when you say it like that.

"Master's not that bad though. She doesn't really seem to be a bad person. It just seems like she doesn't really understand how to interact with others that well."

"Of course I know that, which is why I'm rebelling this time."

"She's got to learn how to be thankful for a meal. I get she's a vampire and in her eyes I'm on the same level as food to her, but we're both immortals damn it."

"Yeah, she really is a bit much sometimes."

"Right?"

"But you have no tact or delicacy either."

"What?! How would you know that, this is the first time we're meeting right?"

"Hmmp! None of your business."

"Anyways, she commanded me to bring you to her."

"Oh? She did? Then here."

He cut off his middle finger and handed it over to me.

"If you bring that to her, that should count as fulfilling her command, right?"

Ah. So there were loopholes in her commands like this that can be taken advantage of? What if I couldn't hear or understand her commands to begin with? What if I misinterpreted her commands to mean what I want it to mean? Would any of those options also work?

"You look like a new world has just opened up to you. You know, you're quite the beauty, it's a shame we're only meeting now."

"Eh? Me? A beauty?"

"You're getting pretty fl.u.s.tered just from that, huh? Are you the pure type?"

Pure your mother!

"Sorry, you just caught me a bit off guard with the compliment out of nowhere. I don't really get such compliments that often."

"Yeah, you're way better than a certain somebody I know. That girl has absolutely no sense of fashion. A completely unfashionable girl without not an ounce of s.e.x appeal. We've been adventuring about for the last four months, if it was you I was adventuring around with, it probably wouldn't be so bad."

Well sorry for being a dork! How I look is my choice though you jerk!

Hmmp! How about I lead him around by the nose a bit the. give him a big surprise in the future? He deserves it, right? Ah, but how do I do that? Like he mentioned I had no idea how to use s.e.x appeal to my advantage. If I did, would I have been forced to remain a v.i.r.g.i.n for the last five years while with those traitors I once thought of as comrades?

Ugh. Just remembering them puts me in a foul mood.

"Hey, have you ever been betrayed before?"

"Me? Where'd that come from all of the sudden?"

"Just answer the question."

"Well, I suppose you can say I have been on both sides. I've been both betrayed and I have betrayed others in the past."

"Then you're definitely someone I'll never get along with. I hate people who betray others the most."

"Not all times are those who have betrayed you those with bad intentions though. Sometimes they are helpless and can only choose the path of betrayal."

"..."

I wanted to say something back, but he did have a point.

"Who did you betray then?"

"Well, you could say one time I betrayed an entire country. As a result of my betrayal countless people died. Whether I betrayed or didn't betray though, people would still die though. The only difference was the number of people that would inevitably die."

"You're the worst after all."

"Yeah, I am. I'm no saint or buddha, I'm only one man."

"Stop trying to act cool, it's obnoxious."

"Tch. You're tougher than I thought, I was sure that line would get me at least a few points."

"Hahaha, yeah right. You're the last person I'd ever give positive points. You're already far in the red in my books."

"What did I ever do to you? Do I owe you money or something?"

"Hmmp! It's a secret."

"You know, now that I take a closer look at you, you sort of remind me of someone."

"It must be your imagination, we've never met before."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"Oh by the way, I never got your name. My name is, well, you probably know what she calls me."

"Yeah, I know it, Chi Kaban."

My name though? Should I give him my real name and see if he catches on?

"Anyways my name is Kana Shujinko."

"What a weird name."

That's about the reaction I expected.

"It's a weird name, but it kind of feels like it fits you."

Yeah, yeah, yeah I get my name feels like the secret punchline to a joke, but that's my real name! Really though? My name didn't ring any bells with him at all? Just how little did he notice my existence back on Earth?

Whatever, there's no point dwelling on it, we're in the same boat being bossed around by that tyrant master of mine.

After saying a few parting words I returned to my master's humble abode. When I say humble, I really mean humble, the only thing in her room or should I say open area with no walls, was her shogi board and coffin.

It seems she kept the majority of her things inside a storage ring and didn't like leaving them out worried that someone might steal them. She was a pretty cautious and thrifty person when I considered she was a noble vampire. I wanted to ask her about it, but I didn't know how to bring it up fearing I might offend her somehow.

"Well, where is he?"

I innocently handed over the middle finger he gave me and placed it in the palm of her hand.

"What is this?"

"His middle finger."

"And why did you bring only his middle finger here?"

"You just said to bring your food to you, right?"

"I know I definitely said that, so where is he?"

"Well, there's some blood remaining in his finger, right? Isn't that the food you were referring to?"

"Are you trying to play smart with me right now?"

"Of course not."

"Fine, whatever it may be, let's forget about the matters concerning your subpar intelligence. How did he react?"

Subpar intelligence?! Breathe girl, breathe. Just let it go. You are playing dumb after all.

With a forced smile I could only say, "he didn't even recognize me, but did call me a beauty."

"See, I told you. You don't need to believe in your beauty. Believe in the people around you that believe in the you that is beautiful."

What even is this cheesy rip off line?

"Uh, where did you hear that line from?"

"Oh that? Chi Kaban mentioned a similar line to me before that I kind of liked, so I used it as a reference."

"It's a cool line, right?"

"Pfft. I can't, I'm sorry. I really can't right now. Please don't say that with a dead serious face."

"For a servant, you really don't know how to appreciate your master's kindness and words of wisdom."
