Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 21

Vampire Princess and Evil God 3

Translated by AmaLynne

If we can’t hope to restore her heart, we’ll have to kill the hero…I guess so.

To be honest, as a similar victim, I don’t feel like it… I guess I don’t have a choice.

This is war. My personal feelings shouldn’t dictate what I do.

「Well, that said, even I have no intention of simply abandoning the hero. I will lend a hand through the Demon King when she is safely protected… Now she is on the verge of collapse. She died once a few days ago, but was revived by the third of the《Twelve Holy Apostles》. It seems that the fact that she thought she could finally escape suffering through death but was brought back to life, has considerably accelerated her fall.」

Once dead?

They kill the hero?

And a girl my age, only five years old?

「Yes. The knight who was hurting her had made a mistake in his addition or subtraction. The hero has all stats over 100 as of level 1, but with a knight of the holy city, he has at least 300 stats. First of all, she cannot win, and if she’s hit, she will die. Moreover, since the《Twelve Holy Apostles》are present, revival is possible, if not unlimited. If that is the case, they will not hesitate to do so.」

Even though she is revivable, you’re saying you hurt a 5-year-old girl until she dies?

And all the while believing that it was a righteous act for the good of humanity?

This is not the level of corruption. It is beyond that level and even horrifying.

「…Yes, I agree. It pains me that I can’t help… But the truth is that we can’t be concerned about her all the time. As you thought earlier, this is war. There is no right or wrong, the one who acts more rationally and more often on the best course of action will win. Helping the hero now is…not the best thing to do.」

Isuzu-sama had a stern look in her eyes when she said that, but… I didn’t miss the fact that her hands were shaking, just a little bit.

Isuzu-sama wants to help the hero, too.

But depending on Isuzu-sama’s oracle, the demon tribe might be destroyed.

In such a position, she can’t make a half-hearted oracle with her personal feelings.

She is a good god after all.

「…Well, this is the end of my story. I apologize for calling you all the way here.」

No, no, no.

I’ve been treated to some delicious sweets, and that’s fine.

Rather, please invite me more.

「…You were attracted by the sweets, weren’t you? You have a very good spirit to be so eager to please God, don’t you?」

Oh shit, this guy can read minds. I’ve been so used to this way of conversing that I forgot about it, even though it’s active reading.

「You don’t have to be a mind reader to understand… Now, let me return your consciousness to it. I can’t interfere with you many times in a row, so you won’t be able to eat sweets for a while.」

Seriously!

You know how I feel when I have knowledge of my past life and the only sweet taste is a fruit!

Tasty, but not what I’m looking for!

「Why don’t you just make your own? It’s a staple of the otherworldly harem protagonist, isn’t it, using knowledge from a previous life to grab the stomach?」

Aside from the fact that I don’t know how you know that.

You are sweet, Isuzu-sama.

I have no such thing as cooking skills!!!!

Like a cheat harem hero, or even the otherworldly culinary knowledge that I have… Even if I did know, I am not equipped with the specs to create it!

「…I see. That’s a lot of work, isn’t it? …Now that you are ready, I will return your consciousness to you. Good luck with your training.」

Thank you very much. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to kill all the humans.

Oh, and next time, I’d like some Mont Blanc or Sachertorte, please.

「You’re getting pretty brazen, aren’t you!? T-Then, I wish you every success in the future! Well then!」

◆◇◆◇◆

When I woke up, I was in bed.

Even though I was drowsy, I clearly remember talking to Isuzu-sama.

The sweets were delicious.

…Ah, no, not that one.

The case of the hero.

Even at this very moment, she is probably being hurt by both humans.

She has a… There is no salvation.

I had Isuzu-sama and the demon king’s army, people who sheltered me and fought with me, like-minded people.

But she doesn’t have that. Because she was born as a human, as a hero, as a friend of justice.

Because her『allies』are nothing but scum.

「…No, don’t think anything funny.」

This is war. As Isuzu-sama says, there is no justice or evil.

Even for me, it is self-interest to destroy human beings. I don’t think I’m righteous in the slightest.

Yes, we are not on the side of justice. We are not the kind of『heroes』who would make a reckless suicide attack for the sake of one poor girl who is being tortured and held in a prison cell.

As Isuzu-sama said, the protection of the hero will come in three years. I must be strong by then.

According to Isuzu-sama, my talent is the third rank of living creatures. If I train and level up from now, I might be able to defeat the heroes.

Once that is decided, I will start training immediately.

I can’t visit the cemetery anymore, but I can use the time to build up the basic strength to destroy the humans.

…Everyone in the vampire village should be cheered up by it when revenge is served.

And the first thing to do is to do some preparatory work… And then I thought about it, and that’s when I realized something.

「…Come to think of it, today was the first day in a long time that I didn’t have a nightmare.」

I did not have the nightmare today that has been tormenting me for the past week. It was probably thanks to the interference of Isuzu-sama.

「Perhaps that’s why… No no, not not.」

Not… I guess not?

AN: I already took (tentative title). I’ll go with this.
