Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 9

Vampire Girl and Despair (Part 2, Latter Part)

Translated by AmaLynne

AN: I am posting two stories today as I have more room in my stock.

「Damn it, kill me…! Even if you kill me…」

「I don’t need that kind of thing. Who wants to kill a man? Just answer my question.」

「Hmph, who!」

「…Oh, I see.」

Oh, so you’re not going to answer. Then I have no choice.

「Just get on with it and kill me… What the hell are you doing!?」

「What? Bloodsucking.」

I don’t even want to suck this old man’s blood, but I can’t let this chance go.

「You know the characteristics of a vampire, right? 『Blood-sucking Subject 』. The power to turn a blood-sucking subject into a 『Vampire-like Creature』and manipulates him or her. If you are stronger than me, you can resist, but I am stronger than you, so it is impossible. That’s why I will make you my servant and then turn you into a doll that can talk to me about anything.」

「Hi…! W-Wait!」

「No waiting for you.」

And so, I bared my fangs…

「Wait! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you anything, please!」

「…Tell me that from the beginning.」

He was apparently being honest, so I let go of his face.

「…Then answer honestly.」

Q. Why did you attack the village?

A. Because they are a demon tribe. Vampires, a race that Master Misery has his eye on and also a peaceful race, were an easy target.

Q. Mom…who killed this dead person?

A. Noin-sama, the sixth in the order of the 《Twelve Holy Apostles》. The highest magician in his mother country.

Q. Dad…what happened to the Vampire Lord?

A. Dead. Edith-sama, the seventh in the order of the《Twelve Holy Apostles》, killed him.

Q. …Where is the body?

「……I-It’s no longer here… Edith-sama exposed the body of the Vampire Lord and declared the destruction of the vampire, and took it with him.」

「…Ar”rr”?」‡

「Hii!?」

Expose dad?

How dare you humiliate me, my mom, and the man who protected me to the very end?

…Wait, calm down. Calm down, me.

There’s no point in hitting this guy now.

There is one last thing I need to ask.

「…How many vampires have survived my kind?」

「…………!?」

「Say it fast.」

「……………No, no one……」

「………ha?」

「There’s, no more vampires… They’re all dead… Edith-sama said she killed them all, even the ones who escaped… A-And if I had to guess, Noin-sama said she missed one… That would be you, wouldn’t it…?」

……No one? My people, no one else?

Dad, mom, Kana-chan, Fred-kun, Rius-kun, and everyone else…dead?

「E-Enough! Let me go as promised… Gaahh?!!」

Before I knew it, my legs seemed to have penetrated the man’s belly.

「w-why…」

With those last words, the man ran out of power, but even that didn’t matter anymore.

I ran to the village to confirm the man’s words.

I wanted it to be a mistake. I hope it is a mistake.

My fragile hope was in vain.

My father’s body was nowhere to be found.

All my friends had died, leaving a trail of tears in their eyes.

◆◇◆◇◆

「…………Kana, chan.」

In front of me is a dear friend who always had a cute smile and cheered me up.

But there was no longer any trace of that smile on her face, and she looked despairing and didn’t even twitch.

「Fred-kun…… Rius-kun……」

He was mischievous and often messed around with Kana-chan and me…but at heart, they are very gentle twins.

But they were dead, folded on top of each other, as if protecting each other.

「……why?」

「why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why」

Why? Just because we, who have just been living in peace, are『demon people』, for that reason alone.

……Everything, must be taken away from us.

「Hmm? ……Oi, someone out there… Hey, isn’t that a survivor?」

What I heard was the voice of a knight, different from those who had just come in, but of the same kind.

「What the heck, I’m just going to see my friend die… Ah, well, vampires love blood, don’t they? You’re excited to see your friend’s blood! Hahahaha……huh?」

I had, half unconsciously, pierced the man’s heart.

The man collapsed on the spot without uttering a word after that.

What is this feeling?

I had killed a human. And yet, I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty.

On the contrary, I rather feel…comfortable? A sense of accomplishment?

For example, in a previous life, when a flying insect was crushed…

At this time.

*Boom*, like so.

I heard the sound of my『something』snapping.

「……haha.」

……A spontaneous laugh came out.

If I didn’t laugh at this, what would I laugh at?

I can’t believe I didn’t realize how simple this was.

「AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! …Ah, I see.」

「…….My life is ruined because there are humans.」

「Humans are like vermin.」

「Humans are not needed in this world.」

「Humans are poison to me, an『evil』that interferes with my happiness.

「That『Evil』……I have to destroy it right~♡」

I’m not going to say I’m righteous or anything like that, you know?

But, you know, in this life, as well as in previous lives, humans really are like scum, aren’t they?

The people who bullied me and laughed at me for fun, and the scum of the earth in my previous life who knew about it and didn’t help me.

The scum of this life who took away even my small happiness, believing themselves to be righteous, and drove me to the depths of despair.

Hahaha, funny. There is no difference between human beings in my previous life and this life.

But『I』was different in my previous life and this life.

Unlike the world of the past, I have the talent to surpass the heroes of this world.

Then, let’s be strong.

Become strong, strong, strong. Someday, I will destroy all human beings.

I will kill them all. Avenge my father, my mother, and everyone in my village.

I will exterminate every last one of them.

※※※

《Certain conditions have been met. The special occupational class『Avenger』has been unlocked.》

※※※

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 small 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 will kill them all.

I’m going to kill every last one of them.

Humans.
