Why can't humans do it too?

Jibril felt very satisfied.

As for Suer... he had already seen the murderous intent that Xin Ke could not hide in her flashing eyes, and the forest elf's outstretched fingers were about to pinch his waist.

Sull wanted to say something, but felt that Jibril had indeed done something very important... so she chose to keep quiet and try not to be forced to take sides.

Hmm... so I'll just say something random, something to try and save myself.

"So who is he?" Su Er pointed at the black-haired high school boy with a finger, thought for a moment, and continued, "Or rather, what's their situation? This boy should be an ordinary human, right? Hmm, that doesn't seem right?"

Suer discovered that another inexplicable being had appeared in such a short period of time.

He was human, but completely human. There was another aura within him... Was this a vampire? But he also seemed different from the blonde little girl on the other side.

Oh, now she's a blonde.

“He was human a few days ago, but not anymore,” Xin Ke said casually. “In order to prolong the life of that vampire over there, I certainly wouldn’t use your blood to save her, so I naturally used this human who happened to be there at the time.”

Suer was speechless; Xinke's few words contained far too much information.

"Don't worry, in order not to disrupt the life of the ordinary humans you've so carefully fabricated, I didn't take them to the house we rented before. This is an abandoned building now, and basically no one comes here... In other words, anyone who comes here must be an enemy."

Suer: "..."

Wait a minute, what happened? There are enemies again? Where did all these enemies come from?

Suer had a bit of a headache.

"They're just a bunch of overconfident ants. They'll be crushed with a single crushing blow. Don't worry about them," Jibril flew down and patted Suer on the shoulder in a carefree manner.

“On this point, I agree with Miss Monster,” Xin Ke nodded and continued, “Actually, we’re just here waiting for you to wake up before making a decision about how to deal with them and such…”

Shinko's gaze drifted over Araragi Koyomi and the blond vampire, then she seemed to remember something else.

"By the way, it's been several months since we left. If I remember correctly, it seems like it's time to pay the rent again."

Suer: "..."

That's really bad news.

Chapter Six: Flexible Bottom Line

Why do I have to pay rent even though I don't live there?

Wouldn't I be at a huge loss if I did that?

Speaking of which, the money I earned from working before is almost gone after eating, drinking and playing all sorts of games with Xinke. Is the money left enough to pay the rent?

And even if the remaining money is barely enough, there probably won't be much left after paying the rent, right? Who knows, I might have to borrow money from that guy, Maou... No, forget it. That guy and his boyfriend have already had a hard time making a living by working in the countryside. After all, it's a bit too pitiful to always see Maou taking the leftover hamburgers from McDonald's back home to eat as meals.

In less than half an hour after regaining consciousness, Suer had fully experienced what it meant for the heavy pressure of life to weigh on the shoulders of an ordinary person.

This is a dilemma—to be honest, Sue was thinking of taking Jibril to experience what a rich and colorful modern human society is like, as well as the dazzling array of modern entertainment, but without money, it's absolutely impossible.

Should we do something to rob the rich and help the poor?

Suer fell into deep thought.

In less than half an hour after regaining consciousness, Suer had fully experienced what it meant for someone to commit crimes because they were broke... His vow to live an ordinary life was crumbling.

Or are you suggesting I bring Jibril along to work...? Unbelievable!

Who could imagine that arrogant, pink-haired winged being working in human society to earn what some people consider to be mere trifles?

Suer was aware of his own limitations in this matter. Jibril's kind and even considerate manner towards him did not necessarily indicate a change in her attitude towards others, or even towards other races. Therefore—

"Everything is alright? I mean, the outside... um?" Finally realizing something belatedly, Suer excitedly tried to sit up. He looked at Xin Ke expectantly, as if he wanted to raise his hand to gesture something, but his weak body prevented him from making any big movements.

However, Xin Ke understood immediately.

"Everything is normal," the forest elf said with a smile after making an OK sign. "Nothing unusual has happened in the world, and human society is still the same human society."

is it?

Then Suer could rest assured.

He breathed a long sigh of relief. Jibril had reappeared before him, and the nail that had caused the world to shift and disappear had been removed. What could possibly stop him from enjoying this wonderful world?

"That's good," Su Er said with a sigh. Now that everything was settled, he suddenly felt a little sleepy again. Fortunately, he knew that there were still some things waiting for him to deal with. "So tell me, what's going on here? What about that vampire over there and this young man?"

"Um, how about I explain it?" The high school boy who had been secretly observing Suer since the beginning suddenly interjected, raising his right hand to volunteer, "After all, this happened to me."

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."

"No need to be polite, um, my name is Araragi Koyomi..."

--------------

Simply put, it's the story of a boy who goes astray because of the irresistible charm of a blonde, big-breasted vampire girl, even though this vampire girl is already in a state of being crippled with all four limbs missing—this is the conclusion Sou comes to after Araragi Koyomi finishes recounting the events that happened during the days that Sou was unconscious.

People die for money, birds die for food, and it's also common for ignorant teenagers to do irreversible things due to momentary urges of their lower bodies—a characteristic of this age group, often referred to as adolescence.

Araragi Koyomi paid the price for pursuing his youth with his blood—or perhaps his fate for the rest of his life.

To avoid any accidents, Xin Ke and Jibril forcibly tied up the vampire and Araragi Koyomi in this desolate wilderness. However, neither the Skywing nor the Forest Elf would be so kind as to save the severely injured vampire.

Therefore, the only person this broken vampire could turn to for help was this ordinary human boy, and what attracted her was only his blood.

Then Araragi Koyomi offered his neck.

Well, according to common sense, this young man, who was blinded by a moment of impulse, would have his blood drained to help the vampire heal itself, and his dried-up body might be placed in the Metropolitan Police Department's specimen room as a rare case to be treasured.

However, this vampire was special. Leaving aside the specifics of his specialness, perhaps influenced by the boy's moth-to-a-flame behavior, or perhaps wanting to make a good impression on Shinko, Jibril, or the still-unawakened Sull, this vampire did not drain Araragi Koyomi of all his blood.

Having absorbed enough energy to make Araragi Koyomi unconscious without endangering his life, the blond vampire then transformed his remaining body into the form of a young girl to conserve energy and facilitate movement.

Well, in a sense, it should be Araragi Koyomi's strike zone more – Jibril made this assessment with a look of disgust.

Overall, the boy's good intentions seemed to have been rewarded.

Araragi Koyomi became a vampire.

He possesses immense strength, an amazing self-healing ability, and a series of powerful and cool skills waiting for him to develop in the future.

If one views both the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a vampire as things one desires, such as immortality, then this is indeed a good thing.

Following Araragi Koyomi's successful change of race, another problem arose, since this blond vampire wouldn't simply cut off his own limbs and leave them scattered everywhere.

In other words, there is an enemy.

There were three that were this awesome—but now there are only two left.

In fact, the information about these pursuing vampire hunters was leaked by them themselves, from a handsome blond man carrying a cross on his shoulder and constantly saying "sorry~", and the left leg that the blond vampire had just bitten off was also taken from his body.

It's not a corpse yet.

Well, as for this handsome guy... according to Xin Ke, he's not dead yet, but he's practically a level three disabled person, and he's currently being carelessly dumped in a gasoline drum in a dilapidated house downstairs.

It was Jibril who made the move, and the reason was rather complicated. She had cast a spell to conceal her halo and wings, and it seemed that the clueless guy had mistaken her for someone he could use to threaten Araragi Koyomi, and then…

Chapter Seven: The Vampire Incident

In short, it's a pretty bad situation, but there's really nothing you can do when you've provoked someone you can't afford to offend.

This sudden outburst seemed to have shocked the person behind the blond guy. In short, for two days after his failure, no one came to his rescue, and the two remaining vampire hunters were nowhere to be seen.

Aside from Araragi Koyomi bringing him food a few times out of kindness, Jibril and Shinko would never do such a good deed. It was already a miracle they didn't kill him on the spot. The reason he wasn't killed on the spot wasn't because Jibril went easy on him that day, but because this blond handsome guy was also a vampire. Although his vitality wasn't as strong as a full-fledged vampire, it was still very strong.

To be more precise, he should be called a half-vampire. According to his own account, his mother was an ordinary human and his father was a pure vampire. Only six years have passed since he was born, but with his height and appearance, Suer felt that he could easily be mistaken for a teenager.

In other words, Jibril, who is thousands of years old but has the appearance of a young girl, mercilessly beat up a vampire who is six years old but has the appearance of an adult—do you condemn this behavior?

How should this behavior be defined legally?

The blond man with half-vampire blood came to fight against pure vampires, only to end up like this... So why do vampires have to make things difficult for each other?

"Actually, based on what I've found out, there should be more than three vampire hunters, but four," Xin Ke said, maintaining her elegance even in dire straits, if she weren't so engrossed in her research unknown to outsiders. She slowly crossed one leg over the other.

"Four?" Araragi Koyomi was somewhat surprised. Unlike Shinko and Jibril, who were too lazy to pay attention to vampires, the information he relayed to Sue was all obtained through his communication with that vampire.

Having become Kiss-Shot's familiar, and currently her only familiar, Araragi Koyomi did not believe that the vampire would deceive him.

Kiss-Shot Acerolario Lyon Heart Under the Blade—that's the full name of that vampire girl over there.

“That’s right,” Xin Ke nodded.

“...Although Kiss-Shot lost her limbs, one of the other two vampire hunters who came with Abby-Shot actually possessed two limbs. It wasn't a situation where each person was assigned one limb for safekeeping,” Shinko said with absolute certainty. However, Araragi Koyomi still thought that this beautiful, busty elf had misunderstood something, so he quickly explained.

Abbott is the blond guy downstairs who was blown up and is currently recovering inside a gasoline drum.

"Of course it's not that shallow. Do you think I wouldn't think of something that even a human monkey like you can think of?"

"Monkey... okay, monkey it is."

Araragi Koyomi was speechless for a moment. To be honest, this wasn't the first time he had been called a monkey in the past few days. His body and mind had even developed a terrifying aptitude for it. In fact, since she was an extraterrestrial, it was normal for aliens to see Earthlings and monkeys as no different.

So it's not me who's talking about monkeys, but all of humanity on Earth.

Earthlings are just monkeys!

Araragi Koyomi nodded secretly with a sense of satisfaction; he had already won.

Xin Ke glanced at the male high school student with disdain. To be honest, if it weren't for Su Er beside her also showing a curious look, she wouldn't have bothered to explain her judgment any further.

“The loss of limbs is just the surface. According to what the high school monkey got out of the trash downstairs, their spoils were only a few limbs. The important thing is not the number of limbs lost,” Xin Ke raised her hand and pointed to her left chest. “It was just a very basic check, but I didn’t expect to find something so interesting.”
