Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 51

Vampire Princess and the Hero’s Determination

Translated by AmaLynne

TN: Heya heya~ I’m back! Finally done with my finals and individual/team projects. So good news, I’ll start uploading again, and bad news, now I need to think about my team startup project. After careful consideration(well, thinking for 5 minutes or so), the upload schedule will be reduced from 3ch/week to 2ch/week(Monday and Thursday), the same for my other translation. Sorry and happy reading~

We ran away. We kept running.

In the forest, the domain of the『Forest General』. We were also up against the strongest candidate for the Demon King’s Army.

I don’t know how long we had been on the run…Yomi and I thought.

Are you sure you want to keep it that way? Or so.

The enemy is indeed powerful. On a night with a full moon, I am no match for even Tiana-san alone.

Yomi is also superior to Tiana-san in terms of status, but she is still vastly inferior to Sakura-kun.

But still. I think we should stand our ground.

We are still weak. No, I think we are in the strong category from ordinary people’s point of view, but we can’t fulfill our goal of destroying human beings as it is.

「…Yomi, let’s do it. Sorry, I was wrong. We have to be stronger.」

「I was thinking the same thing… If we can stand up to those two, maybe we can improve a little bit.」

Yes, now is the time to overcome the slight trauma I still have left with Tiana-san.

「…Well, there you have it. That’s the spirit! Come on, come at us from wherever you are!」

「We’ll lend you our chests!」

「Come on, Yomi!」

「All right, Lean…YAAAA!!!」!

◆◇◆◇◆

…I woke up on my bed in my room.

It was like someone carried me.

I couldn’t lift a hand or a leg and lost.

Un, impossible.

I was magically beaten up without even getting close.

As for Yomi, she’s still passed out next to me, unable to manifest magic.

What’s that? What is that?

If Tiana-san was alone, we could have won, albeit in a hard-fought battle.

But Sakura-kun was too cheat.

No matter how many magic shots I fired, no matter how many times Yomi swung her sword, they were all blocked by barrier magic, and from that side, they were just one-sidedly bombarded with magic.

I was beaten to pieces in five minutes, damn it.

…I’m still so weak.

I was only able to stop Yomi by adding more power to my once-a-month power and winning. I was only able to finally stop this girl next to me after putting boost after boost after boost.

I just happen to be strong because of my race.

I myself are not very strong.

「Hmmm…where’s here?」

「…Oh, Yomi. Are you awake?」

「…Yes.」

After a few moments of mutual silence…It was Yomi who started the conversation.

「…We lost, didn’t we?」

「…I knew it. We still can’t beat those two. A weakened Yomi and a daytime me are no match for the executive class.」

「…Un.」

「…Hey, Yomi.」

「? What?」

「Let’s be strong. Don’t let this level of weakness get you down. We are still weak, we knew it… But you and I both have talent. We are both in different situations, but we both want the same thing. To destroy humans. We must spare no effort to do so… Let’s train more than ever. Learn to be stronger. Let’s become stronger, and then we will lay waste to humans.」

「…Of course, I intend to do that without being told, Lean. I can’t keep losing like this. I have a will of my own… I’m a former hero who was once considered the strongest candidate in the history of the world. Such a being has been on a losing streak lately… I’m not so naive as to let such a weakling destroy me. That’s why I’m going to become the strongest. I’m going to become the strongest human that those humans tried to create, and I’m going to lay waste to them.」

…To the casual observer, our words may sound crazy.

But to those of us who are madly in love with each other’s ambitions of revenge, our words are…our views were strangely in tune with each other.

◆◇◆◇◆

「…Right. Hey Lean, I’ve been kind of classless ever since I lost my『Hero』occupation, right?」

「Well, yes… You haven’t picked one yet? Why don’t you just pick『Avenger』, it’s very convenient.」

「I was thinking of doing the same thing… But after this incident, I’ve decided to go this way after all.」

Yomi then showed me her status.

The occupation written in its occupational column is…『Swordsman』.

Not orthodox, but not rare either, a common occupation.

「…Why?」

「I’ll have Gray-san teach me the body enhancement magic, of course. But I think I’m better suited for this… I don’t want to be the most powerful Avenger, I want to be the most powerful swordsman. I’m going to kill them with the power they’ve found in me…What do you think? That makes this better than『Avenger』don’t you think?」

…Well, sure.

Yomi’s talent in swordsmanship is, frankly, the best in the world.

If she truly mastered the sword…there is even a possibility of reaching the『God Series』a legendary occupation that surpasses the『King Series』and transcends human nature.

「…That’s fine. I have bare hands and magic, Yomi has a sword. It’s not a bad balance, right?」

「Yes, it is!」

Ooooh, don’t get your beautiful face so close to me, I’m sure you don’t have any intention of coming that way, I might accidentally like you.

◆◇◆◇◆

…And so began the days of training for me and Yomi.

Sometimes we trained alone, sometimes with the help of the executives, and sometimes we trained even while we slept.

There were times when we both collapsed. To be honest, there were times when we almost died.

But we never gave up.

Both Yomi and I had such a strong desire for revenge against humans.

…And when did it start? When I was able to push back an executive that took two people to finally deal with, all by myself.

I was able to fight Gray-san and Rain-san, whom I couldn’t even fight before, but with just two people, I was able to fight them.

But I was not satisfied there.

I wanted to be the strongest, and Yomi wanted to be the strongest, so we continued to train ourselves and each other.

And so――-five years passed.
