In my previous life, I had very little to do with words like『peace』.

I was severely bullied, my parents never bothered me, and in the end, I died as a result of God’s selfish circumstances.

Hence. Therefore, In this life. I want to live a peaceful, happy, quiet, and joyful life. That’s what I thought.

But this world is… No, it seems that this world is not willing to grant even this modest wish of mine.

Then, that’s enough. I don’t want peace.

Those who have taken everything away from me, even my whole life, leaving only my life.

―――I’ll make them―

◆◇◆◇◆

The day came suddenly.

I… Rather, most of the vampires was asleep. Of course, it was『daytime』.

The vampire village had been in perfect peace for the last few hundred years, free from interference from any race.

So I can’t blame my fellow vampires for the lack of security of their brethren who stood guard in their apologetically built watchtowers.

Dad… Not even the chief of the tribe had expected such a thing.

By the time I noticed something was wrong and jumped out of bed…the worst had already begun.

From the window of my room on the second floor, I saw the same white clothes…It was hundreds of『humans』dressed in what looked like a combination of priestly clothes and armor.

The humans broke into the house one after another, and after a while came out looking satisfied with what they had.

When I realized what it was, I nearly vomited.

A head. The head of a vampire, of one of my own.

「What is going on…!?」

「Lean!!!」

I turned at the sound and saw my mother looking distraught and my dad looking impatient and angry at the same time.

「Dad, this…!」

「I know! Lean, you run away with your mom. I’ll be right behind you!」

「No way, dad also…」

「…I am the chief. And I am the Vampire King. I can’t just run away.」

「Such things… Life is more important! I know dad is strong, but still…!」

Before I could finish, my dad hugged me.

「…I’m sorry, Lean.」

With that one word, I realized.

Dad must have been…

「Minea, take care of Lean.」

「…I know.」

Then Dad headed for the enemy lines and I was held by Mom.

「N-No! Dad! Let go of me, Mom!」

Dad stopped moving for a moment at my pleading but quickly ran off. Mom was still holding me.

「I am the Vampire King! Razor Bloodlord! If you want to kill any more of my people, you’ll have to kill me first!」

Starting with those words, the sound of the attack behind me became more intense.

…By the time we fled into the woods, the sound had ceased to be heard.

◆◇◆◇◆

Mom fled into the forest and kept running.

After running toward the back for about 10 minutes, she finally stopped and dropped me off.

「…I don’t think they’ll be after us for a while here. We’ll rest a bit and then run again. We have the advantage when night falls.」

「Escape, where?」

「…I don’t know. But we have to live.」

Mom had a terrible look on her face.

No wonder. Just a few minutes ago, she left her companion, who had been with her for decades, in a place of death.

Why? Why did the humans attack?

We were just living in peace.

Why, why, why, why.

…At the very least, mom needs to be protected.

Dad protected us. Now it’s my turn.

Yes, he might still be alive! Then we have to go help them!

Also, contact any surviving friends…

Then, that『guy』appeared, kicking me out of my various thoughts.

「Ugh… uuu… so sad…!」

「I know you’re sad, but make up―――!?」

Instantly, my mom and I jumped back.

The voice I heard was a thick man’s voice.

「Transference Magic! A magician!」

Behind us was a mysterious man who had not been there earlier.

Dressed like the man who attacked the village. He was over two meters tall, holding a large book in both hands, and for some reason, he was shedding tears.

「Ugh… How pathetic you two…!」

Pathetic? Would you, by any chance, let us go?

Such faint hopes were betrayed in the next instant.

「This, such a delicate girl and…a beautiful woman is…Vampire! An evil demon tribe that defies the reason of the Misery-sama! Alas, if only you had been born human, you would have lived without any inconvenience…so sad…!」

Evil demon tribe? Vampires, are we?

We are indeed a demon tribe, but we should have been non-interventionist in the war between the demon king’s army and the allied human forces.

In the first place…If you people hadn’t attacked us, we would have lived a peaceful life, free from any inconvenience!

「At least ……. At least let you be reborn as a human in your next life! I, one of the《Twelve Holy Apostles》, will send you to God with my own hands…!」

《The Twelve Holy Apostles》? I don’t know what that means.

I’m dealing with one person, and if I had my muscles right now, I’m sure…!

The next moment, something『explode』in front of me.

A tremendous blast…but…I wasn’t blown away?

「Ugh… Such as preventing my『Explode』…!」

I knew immediately why I wasn’t blown away.

There was a thin membrane around me. This must have protected me. But…who?

I looked to the side and saw my mom with a staff ready.

Mom…maybe she was strong?

But mom sounded like she was in a lot of pain…

「Lean… Run away.」

―――-So she told me.

「I-I don’t want to! Mom also…」

「I’m a supporter. I can protect you, but I can’t defeat him. So I’m here to buy you time to escape.」

「Such things… Mom, what are you talking about!! Hey!!」

I can’t believe I was chased out of my village and lost my mom even more.

My heart cannot bear it.

Then at least I wanted to die with my mom.

……But,

「Please, Lean. Let me protect my daughter.」

Oh, what a terrible thing to say.

That one word, that one word alone. I had no choice but to run away.

At least, if I didn’t have memories of my previous life. I could have died together with my mom like a normal five-year-old child.

Because of my understanding… I realize my mom’s『determination』.

…I ran away.

I turned my back on my mother, on my village, with all my heart.

「Ughh…! You think I’m going to let it get away…! What stupidity! Sadness!」

「You think I’ll let you!?《Dimensional Lock》.」

「…!? Transference Sealing Wards! I didn’t know you could use such advanced magic… Ugh, why would such a user be a vampire…!」

While listening to my mom and my enemy’s voice.

I didn’t care about the tears that flowed or the blood that ran from my lips from biting down too hard, I just kept on running.
