Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

"What do you think, Theresa?"

"Okay, sure." Theresa nodded gently, a tender smile on her face. If it was only a day, it should be enough time.

Leave no regrets.

"Let's go back then, and bring Himeko some food while we're at it."

Mebius looked around and found that there were still noodle shops open, so he took Theresa over there.

However, just as they were about to reach the noodle shop, they suddenly stopped, and then, under Theresa's puzzled gaze...

He turned around and came to a little girl selling flowers.

"How much are the flowers?" Mebius asked the little girl selling flowers, but the little girl did not answer immediately. Instead, she observed the two people present, her gaze falling on Mebius and Theresa's tightly clasped hands.

Then, she gave an elegant smile.

"There's only one flower left, so I'll give it to you." With that, she handed the last rose in the flower basket to Mebius.

Then, she gracefully lifted the hems of her skirt.

"Ladies, I hope we can meet again next time and you'll both buy my flowers again."

"Can you tell me your name, lovely lady?" Mebius asked the little flower girl.

"Just call me Rita." The little girl winked playfully, gave the two a mysterious smile, and then gracefully turned and left.

Mebius did not stop her, but simply turned his gaze to Theresa beside him and handed her the rose.

"Theresa, this is a gift for you."

"Why are you so good to me?" Theresa took a small step back, her delicate face showing no joy.

On the contrary, there was also a lingering sense of pain and helplessness.

"Why ask that?" Mebius asked rhetorically, seemingly puzzled, before adding another sentence.

"I believe that emotions can create miracles, and even the malice left behind by the Herrscher of the previous civilization can be overcome."

"Is this your purpose, Mebius?" Theresa seemed somewhat relieved. "To make me fall in love with you, and to defeat the lingering malice of the Herrscher?"

“No, that’s not my plan,” Möbius denied with a smile. “I just wanted to give you a flower.”

"Really?" Theresa asked, and Mebius nodded affirmatively.

"Really?" Seeing that her expression was completely genuine, which only made Theresa's expression more pained, she couldn't help but take another step back.

During her trip with Mebius, she was actually suppressing her vampire urges. It wasn't that simply consuming enough blood could suppress these urges; they only needed to be present in the presence of humans.

The malice that is essentially called the Herrscher will continuously strengthen the bloodsucking impulse, and the more people involved, the stronger the bloodsucking impulse will become.

Until she can no longer tolerate harming humans.

So, she originally planned to never approach humans again after today, or to choose a suitable place to die.

However, she found herself increasingly reluctant to leave, and they made a promise to go to the amusement park together the next day. Möbius even gave her roses.

If this continues, she will become more and more attached to the world, even more reluctant to leave the human world, and even more reluctant to die.

This contradiction caused her great pain; it felt like her heart was being tightly gripped, making it difficult to breathe.

My heart feels like it's been crushed.

Stop being gentle with her.

“I’m sorry, I can’t accept that.” Theresa made her decision, giving Möbius a forced smile. “By the way, let’s forget about going to the amusement park together tomorrow.”

"What are you worried about?" Shaking his head, Möbius approached Theresa and said seriously, "I will help you get rid of your vampire urges. I'm not kidding you. As long as you cooperate with me, you can come to the amusement park as many times as you want."

“…Really?” Theresa asked, her crimson eyes filled with hope. Möbius did not answer, but simply handed her the roses, expressing his agreement through his actions.

“I understand.” Theresa then handed him the roses, willing to try believing in Möbius just this once.

Although she didn't have much hope that Mebius could resolve the Herrscher malice contained within him.

However, I am willing to believe.

“Let’s go buy Himeko some late-night snacks.” Möbius smiled and nodded, leading Theresa into the noodle shop.

In fact, she had known all along that Theresa's vampiric urges could not be suppressed by consuming blood packs.

That's the Herrscher's malice, malice towards all humanity. Whenever Theresa gets close to humans, she feels an urge to harm them.

Moreover, unlike the Herrschers of this generation, they possess the humanity bestowed upon them by the sacrifice of Alicia from the previous civilization.

In the previous civilization, Herrschers were not granted this power, making it difficult for Theresa to acquire the Herrscher's power through "love".

Although it is worth a try.

However, that was merely an experiment that came with her plan; she wanted to achieve something else entirely.

And shortly after Theresa and Mebius left.

"Lady Fu Hua, do you think she can save Lady Theresa?" The little flower girl came out again, her gaze falling on the handsome woman in a suit beside her. Well... she was probably a woman.

After all, her chest is really too flat.

"I don't know," Fu Hua replied succinctly, glancing in the direction Möbius had left, her brows furrowed tightly.

I don't know why, but I felt that the woman named Mebius was somewhat familiar, and even my body was reacting to her.

He seemed quite familiar with that woman from Mebius.

“I think it’s possible. Love… can work miracles,” the little flower girl said. “Besides, didn’t they already make a promise to come to the amusement park together next time?”

“…That was just a means to strengthen Theresa’s will.” Fu Hua’s voice was calm. “Mébius must have known that the amusement park would be closed, so he deliberately missed coming here and then made a promise with Theresa.”

At this point, she added another sentence.

"Even sending flowers is an act with ulterior motives."

"Does Lady Fu Hua mean that Mebius doesn't have 'real' feelings for Theresa, and is only doing this to complete the experiment?" The little flower girl sighed. "Then Lady Mebius is really... cold-blooded, calculating people's hearts to such an extent."

“...Whether she has genuine feelings or not, only she herself knows.” Fu Hua shook her head. “I’m just reasoning rationally. How could I possibly know what Möbius is really thinking?”

“I tend to think that Lord Mebius has ‘real’ feelings,” the flower-selling girl, Rita, asserted.

"False emotions cannot help one overcome collapse."

chapter eight

For the sake of money, Miss Karen, please bear with it.

(Yes, did the young couple have a fight?) Himeko picked up a translucent piece of beef with her chopsticks, glanced at Theresa sitting on the bed drinking blood, and at Mebius with a smile on his face.

Logically, after going out for a trip, they should have gotten along very well, but the situation was quite the opposite.

There is an invisible barrier between the two.

"Speaking of which, does Theresa need to sleep tonight?" Mebius suddenly asked, his brows furrowed as he stared at Theresa, who was sitting on the bed like a duck, silently drinking her blood pack, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem.

“It’s okay if we don’t sleep.” Tilting her head slightly, Theresa answered Möbius’s question truthfully. In her opinion, there was no need to hide it, especially since she had promised to cooperate with Möbius to defeat the Herrscher’s malice.

“This is a real problem.” Möbius sighed, meeting Himeko and Theresa’s questioning gazes, and voiced his concern, “What if Theresa sneaks away while we’re sleeping? That would be troublesome.”

“I can leave without having to sneak away.” Theresa parted her small mouth slightly, revealing sharp fangs. “I’m a vampire. If I want to leave, no one can stop me.”

Now that she's well-fed and at her peak physical condition, it's absolutely impossible for Himeko and Mebius alone to stop her.

Even though Himeko is the Valkyrie of Destiny, she has no chance of winning.

“What if he gets upset in the middle of the night?” Möbius chuckled and shook his head, telling Theresa his thoughts, “We should sleep together; that’s the most reassuring way.”

“…No!” Theresa refused without hesitation. She was a vampire, and with a beautiful, soft-smelling girl beside her, it would be easy for her to lose control and do something irreversible to Mebius.

Hmm, it refers to the irresistible urge to suck Mebius's blood.

"How about I do it?" Himeko suggested while slurping her noodles. "I'm a Valkyrie, I'm not afraid of Theresa's night raid, and if anything goes wrong, I can..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a look of resistance appear on Mebius's pretty face.

"Don't be silly, I won't do anything weird to Theresa. I'm someone who plans to get married and have children normally."

“…Really?” Mebius asked skeptically, but Himeko rolled her eyes and asked bluntly.

"Do you have a better option?"

“No.” Mebius shook his head, sighed, then turned his gaze to Theresa, his voice softening.

"Don't forget our promise, we're going to the amusement park tomorrow."

“…Hmm.” After a slight silence, Theresa nodded gently. She remembered the agreement and could not leave until it was fulfilled.
