Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 4

Vampire Girl and Human

Translated by AmaLynne

What is it like to be human in this world?

It was a night with a beautiful crescent moon, sometime after my birthday, when I had such a question.

From what I’ve read in books, it’s the same as my world before. There are some superhumans by the grace of God called《Status》, but that’s it.

Vampires, on the other hand, have powerful inherent powers, such as enhanced abilities due to the phases of the moon, excellent night vision, long life span, high regenerative abilities, and the creation of household members through bloodsucking. Unlike the knowledge of my previous life, they can be activated normally even during the daytime. Well, most of the time, they sleep.

In other words, vampires are a species that can be said to be superior to humans.

But let’s leave that aside.

They are the most many intelligent life forms in the world. My former life. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care.

So,「I want to see a human being」, to my idiot parent… I talked to my dad about it.

◆◇◆◇◆

「No.」

Surprisingly, unexpectedly. Dad immediately refused my『request』.

Because he is my dad, you know? At home, let alone at work, he has none of the dignity of a Vampire King, and if I ask him to do something with a slightly upturned eye, he’s an easy-dad who will immediately wank off, right?

Dad looked down at me with the sternest face I had ever seen.

「Lean. I don’t know why you’re interested in humans… But humans. That’s a no-no.」

「What do you mean?」

「It’s hard to explain it in a way you can understand, but…」

It’s inconvenient that I have the body of a five-year-old like this.

I can understand everything, but the other side uses cumbersome phrasing so that even a child can understand, which makes it harder to understand.

「Yes… Lean, vampire believes in… I mean, you know who the goddesses they believe in are.」

「Yes, it’s Isuzu-sama, isn’t it?」

Not only do I know, but I’ve also met her.

「Yes, I have. Just as we believe in Isuzu-sama, humans believe in a goddess named Misery… But this goddess, Misery, hates demons like us vampires.」

……. Hmm?

I feel like I’ve heard this story before.

Yes, it sounds just like what Isuzu-sama taught me.

「…Do you understand me so far?」

「Yes, I understand.」

When I said this, Dad’s face fell a little, and he patted me on the head, saying,「You’re really smart」. I’m so happy and embarrassed.

「So. If the goddess Misery doesn’t like us, then the humans who believe in her don’t like us either. That’s why we can’t go out in front of the humans. They would attack us.」

「All vampires hate fighting for nothing, don’t they?」

「Yes. That’s why we don’t take part in the battle between humans and the demon army…」

Hmmm, from what I’ve heard, it’s the same as Isuzu-sama says.

Humans say that the goddess Misery is the only god, and they are trying to destroy the demon tribe that believes in Isuzu-sama. The demons are fighting hard to stop them.

And since the demons have higher potential than the humans, the humans are at a disadvantage. So, as a desperate measure, they recruited otherworldly people with high innate talents… In other words, my former classmates that killed by fate manipulation and reincarnated in this world.

And I’m here because I got caught up in it. Well, to be frank, I’m happy with the result.

「And I’m going to be honest with you. Your dad is the strongest man in the village, but…if you ask me if he is strong in the world as a whole, not so much.」

「Eh? Even with such great status?」

「Yes. Many people in this world are stronger than your dad. Vampires don’t like meaningless conflicts, so they usually have only the minimum strength to protect their villages. Still, I’m confident that at the full moon, I can knock down any enemy.」

Seriously, how inflated is this world?

Eh, what? If they are bad, I wonder if they have a bare-bones status of 10,000 or more.

I don’t have any intention of becoming stronger than I need to be at the moment, but I may eventually take over as chief of the tribe.

Then strength is essential to protect everyone. And, well, you know, that… Married or something? Kids and stuff… If I decide to have a baby… I won’t be able to level up because of taking care of them.

In other words, I have to be strong to some extent by then.

Fortunately, my talent is said to be more than that of an ordinary brave warrior, so even if I don’t rush too much, I should be able to gain a certain amount of strength by leveling up.

But even so… It seems that humans are regarded as more dangerous than I thought in this world. It’s a bit complicated for me, being a former human.

◆◇◆◇◆

Knowing that strength was necessary, I took the initiative and went out into the woods to hunt some beasts.

As a result, I gained 3 levels and could move my body more easily than before.

As for me, I would like to learn magic. Not a no-brainer battle like my dad, or even a pure magic build, but like this… I’m a versatile vampire who can do both magic and fight!… I want to be like that. I’ve always been the type to make one of my characters a magic warrior, even in RPGs and such in my previous life.

So, to be honest, I still can’t decide what class I want to be. I feel that if I master『Martial Artist』and『Magician』, I’ll be able to liberate myself to a higher level, but I don’t know for sure.

I know that in this peaceful village, there is no need to rush to a decision. But It’s better to decide as soon as possible.

After a while, the sun came up… In other words, my enhanced ability no longer worked, so I carried all the beasts I had hunted and returned home.

The rest was dismantled by my mom and the neighbors… Well, in other words, we shared it with everyone in the village.

By the way, quite a few people were surprised when I showed them the beast I hunted. I guess it’s natural to be surprised when you think about it, a 5-year-old girl killed a big beast, even if her ability had been enhanced by the moon.

So we spent the morning barbecuing the beast’s meat.

Actually, I had never barbecued in my previous life, so this was my first experience. We invited Kana and her friends to join us, and it was like a little party, and it was a lot of fun.

After we ate a lot and everyone left, I got sleepy and went to bed.

Today was fun too.

I am really glad that I came to this world.

I have dear friends, loving parents, and kind neighbors, all of which I didn’t have in my previous life.

And I fell asleep, thinking about the night yet to come.

I hope that tomorrow will be another day of peace and joy.

Just one week later. The vampire village was destroyed.

I was mistaken at that time, I was naïve.

This world is not peaceful.

They are arrogant, brutal, and think they are right about everything. It was a hell, where such irrepressible『monsters』spread.

I will never forget that day in my life.

The despair, the pain, the suffering, the anger, the helplessness, the humiliation, the regret, the hatred, the desire to kill.

―――That day, I swore revenge against the malice called『human』.

AN: *Caution!

In the next few chapters, there will be a depressing and heartbreaking development, which is a complete change from the cheerful atmosphere of the past chapters. Please be careful if this is not your cup of tea.
