Vampire's Slice Of Life

“Really? A Rank 7 killed just like that?” Dennis asked Lith with interest.

Lith nodded and said, “that’s right, and if I am not wrong, he won’t reincarnate or resurrect.”

“Oh damn!” Dennis exclaimed.

Even Ralph was a bit surprised as he heard this.

“And then what?” Dennis asked excitedly.

“Well… Muron won’t suffer now since the guild higher ups would now ensure that there’s no scams happening.”

Ralph and Dennis nodded as they heard this.

“But he’s still weak and a Rank 4 in that guild where the average is Rank 5. You know that helping him this one time still won’t solve the problem about him getting bullied, right?” Ralph said the important bit.

Lith nodded. “Yes, it won’t. But, don’t forget he’s not too weak either, and he’s still young. His rank would be raised in future as he cultivates and probably won’t get bullied. The future is uncertain and we can’t help him anymore than we already have. We’ve got our own lives to live too.”

“Yes, I agree. Us helping his sick brother should take some load off of his chest and should be able to have some savings for him later.” Dennis said.

Ralph nodded and agreed with the two.

The three then chatted for a bit and since they had enough monsters and beasts to sell, the three went back to Jingmei Guild and sold it there.

Lith was in disguise this time as he wanted to check if there’s any more scam occurring or not and found there to be none. They exchanged their goods for healing pills and potions and left for Muron’s place.

Muron lived in a small wooden hut in the outskirts of Espat. His brother lay with a sickly pale complexion on a small wooden bed made by Muron and appeared as if he could die at any moment.

Muron’s little brother was a Rank 1 and was in a small academy in the outskirts of Espat. He was injured in a battle and the academy was not responsible for his treatment and any other thing. The only thing they could do for him was not fail him if he was on sick leave.

Not every academy in the world was like Abalax. It was only Abalax that had top-class facilities and cared for their students the most. They covered everything from food to healthcare for the students when they are there. As for the other academies, they can’t afford such a thing and it was simply not feasible.

The trio cleaned up Muron’s little brother, fed him food and medicine, lent him some money, and left the place. It didn’t take too long for him to recover as the pills and potions were good quality. The recovery was almost instantaneous.

Muron’s little brother had no idea who these people were but it didn’t stop him from worshipping them from the bottom of his heart. He swore to himself that he’ll never forget this kindness even till the day he died.

A few hours later.

Muron got back to his home and saw his little brother cooking some porridge.

“You, why are you up from your bed?” Muron rushed towards him and took the ladle from his hand and said.

“Big brother, I am completely fine now. Three people came here a few hours ago and cured me. Were you the one who paid them to help me?” Muron’s little brother said excitedly.

Muron shook his head and said, “no, I don’t have that much money. I was at the church and saw them there, they said that they were given a message by God to help us. Call it our good fortune, Eugene, that we came across such good people. Never forget their kindness. They saved you when you were on the verge of your death.”

Eugene nodded his head and said, “yes, yes, big brother. I’ll never forget this kindness. Now come, have this porridge with me.”

Muron nodded and the two sat down to eat their porridge.

Muron’s eyes were a bit numb and slightly filled with tears. He would’ve cried already had it not been his little brother sitting in front of him. He couldn’t show his weak side to him or else things would get troublesome.

Muron was very thankful to the three people. They helped him when he was at the lowest point in his life. This life saving grace from them was very helpful to him. He can now work and save money for their daily lives and wouldn’t need to worry about his brother’s health. These savings can help him focus on cultivating and he can raise his Magic Rank.

Muron swore that one day, he’ll become a rich and powerful person. But even if he did, he’ll never forget these three people’s deeds and would always be thankful for them.

He wiped his tears sneakily and ate the porridge made by his little brother.

“It’s delicious.” Muron said to him with a smile. He didn’t forget to compliment him for it.

“Hehe. I am glad. I made it with a lot of hard work.” Eugene said with a smile.

Muron ruffled his hair and the two chatted happily while having their food.

…..

Lenz Tower, Espat.

Inside Emilia’s suite.

Lith, Ralph, and Dennis were sitting in the lounge room and were having snacks together. Dinner was at 9 pm and it was currently 7 pm. They were having some light snacks before dinner.

“Today was wild.” Dennis said.

“Yes.” Ralph agreed.

“I asked teacher to take the time limit off just in case but it turns out we completed our task five hours before the time she set for us. That’s nice.” Lith said while eating potato chips.

“Yes, it’s very nice. By the way, Your Highness, have you figured out what you’re gonna do in the coming two months? We basically have a vacation to ourselves for these two months.” Dennis asked while chewing on beef jerky.

“No idea. I’ll just go with the flow.” Lith said his true thoughts. He had no idea what he was gonna do in the coming two months.

He had to cultivate and breakthrough to Rank 3, there was that, but apart from it, there was nothing for him to do. After they go back to the academy, he’s definitely going to seclude himself and try to break through to Rank 3.

“What about you, Ralph?”

Ralph was eating cookies and as Dennis asked him the question, he put it down and said, “I’ll cultivate, study, go back home and look into the affairs of my family and country.”

Ralph was the heir of the Asmodeus Family and he had a lot of things to do even in his free time. Watching his mother govern, make political decisions, finding out who was planning a coup d’état* for their family, etc, were just some of the few things in his mind that he was planning to do when he went back home. These were all interesting matters to Ralph who always preferred brains over brawn.

The two kind of expected such a thing from him and it wasn’t anything surprising.

“As for me, I am going home and going to relax, no one can stop me from doing it! These weeks in the academy were a torture and I can finally get to relax, haha!” Dennis said happily.

Meryl City, Crimson Rain Country, Vampire Continent.

Inside the Crimson Clan’s Castle.

Duke Axis Crimson and Duchess Sara Crimson were having dinner together in the dining room of their castle with their daughter.

They were close with each other as a family and always ensured that they had dinner together. Other meals could be skipped but dinner could not be. They had no need for eating but the chat over food was a lovely way to spend time with each other and so they had dinner everyday.

Cecilia was cutting into steak as her parents talked with each other. The three were sitting near a round table and their distance wasn’t too far from each other.

She cut her steak and was about to put it in her mouth when she felt some sort of premonition. She put down her fork and looked at her mother.

“Ma, is something good or bad or anything that is noteworthy going to happen in the upcoming few weeks?” She asked her mother, Duchess Sara Crimson.

They were at home, she didn’t have to use any formalities to talk to them.

Duchess Sara looked at Cecilia and said, “no, dear. Why do you ask?”

Cecilia shook her head and said, “I felt something was going to happen.”

Duke Axis sipped on some red wine and said to Cecilia, “nothing of importance is going to happen that may be related to you. Oh yes, but if I have heard it right, your boyfriend from the Dracula Clan should be back home in a few weeks or days I think. I am amazed how you can get a premonition about it.”

Cecilia’s face turned a bit red as she heard it but she kept a serious face and said to her father,

“Pa, don’t say stupid things like this. He’s not my boyfriend, I don’t even like him. And there was no premonition, it was just a coincidence.”

Duke Axis and Duchess Sara looked at each other and chuckled.

Duchess Sara turned to Cecilia and said, “your face says otherwise, dear. Don’t worry, ma and pa will always support you and we’ll help you get married to that Dracula boy.”

“Ma! What nonsense is this!?” Cecilia said with a tomato red face. Why would she like someone as carefree and stupid like Dennis?

Duke Axis held Cecilia’s hand on top of the table and said,

“Dear, your pa will go kick that old geezer Dracula’s butt if needed to have you two get together. You don’t have to worry. As your ma said, you’ve got our full support.”

“Pa, what nonsense! You know what? I think I’ll have my dinner in my room tonight. Good bye and good night!” Cecilia took her food and ran away into her room.

Duke Axis and Duchess Sara chuckled again and talked about their daughter and Dennis’s relationship for the rest of the night.

…..

Lenz Tower, Espat.

“Good luck on that, Dennis.” Lith said to Dennis with a smile.

“Yeah, good luck.” Ralph added.

“Mhm! Mhm! I’ll definitely have a good time, haha.” Dennis said happily.

A few minutes passed.

BAM!

The door of their suite slammed open and a pink-haired, pink-eyed lady barged in. She was none other than Avelyn Asmodeus, Ralph’s mother. Behind her was Emilia walking quietly.

She rushed towards Ralph as she saw him and said with enthusiasm,

“Ralph chaaannnnn!~”
