My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C209

Episode 209 Vampire Half

It is said that Eva is the daughter of the vampire Lilith and a human man who was the lord of the frontier region of Garis. 

It's what's called a half-vampire. That's why he had such incredible physical abilities. 

Also, she has silver hair, an unparalleled beauty with red eyes that sparkle for a moment, and perfect proportions with long, slender legs... If you say they look alike, they do look alike, but mother and daughter... they're more like Lilith. Sometimes he looks younger than me. Of course, vampires are close to immortality. 

Huh? But Lilith has lived for at least 200 years, so how old is Eva? I thought she was a little older than me, but... 

"That's rude. I'm only 18, right?"

Wow, did you say it out loud? You haven't released it, have you? ...And Eva is younger too? Are you the same age as Carmilla? 

``...He's such a playful, easy-to-understand guy...I'm starting to worry.''

"Shiro-san, it's too obvious on your face."

Eyes were focused on the unfortunate child from all directions, not just from the vampire mother and daughter. 

"Well, there's nothing I can do about Shiro being stupid like this."

The final blow was received by Lucien... 

And then, all of a sudden, Eva seems to be joining us, or rather, joining me as my partner. 

"...Is everyone okay?"

“Not now, master.”

Even Nolte let out a sigh. I feel sorry for myself for always being carried away by the situation. 

“Even though I knew it was dangerous, the moment I said I wanted to help her, I was prepared, right?”

"I don't mind if the group grows a little. Eva is strong, so it's good to join us."

The three of them agreed, and Eva bowed her head. 

"Thank you for letting me, who has reduced myself to a prostitute, into your group. I don't mind being the fourth person to show mercy... As a thank you, I will teach you all the techniques to please your lord." Shin”

````````!''''''

The sound of swallowing was strangely loud, and I couldn't help but look at everyone's expressions. 

"That's cool. This has also lifted the burden off my shoulders."

Before she knew it, her body had finished regenerating, and Lilith had completely regained her long, slender legs and stood up. 

"It's almost dawn. Also, those annoying people are approaching. It's time for the concubine to go."

Eva walked up to him, opening and closing her mouth repeatedly. 

"...Lilith...no, Mother. Thank you for saving me."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter...it's mutual. If you choose to live as a human being, then your concubine won't interfere anymore...you're a master."

Then, after standing up on the broken roof railing, I turned around. 

"...I'll let you know when my grandchild is born."

"What, that's it..."

"Kake"

The Gothic Lolita costume soared into the night sky, and the next moment it transformed into a jet-black bat-like figure. 

And then, in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from sight. 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

At dawn, the gendarmerie from the ducal capital Gallipoli arrived at the castle of the Marquis of Huth. 

The man who led 500 soldiers was a nobleman named Count Zabetz, and Baron Dirk, a civil servant who was a client of the prostitute disappearance case, was also accompanying him. It seems that they acted more quickly than I expected based on the information I gave them over the distance. 

The corps of the Marquis of Huth had a total strength of over 1,000 soldiers and was armed with the latest weapons, but the Marquis who led them suddenly disappeared and fell into chaos. 

In addition, the fort was severely damaged by a mysterious lightning strike, and a large number of residents who were participating in the summer festival witnessed this, making it difficult to prevent the gendarmerie from taking action, who claimed to have come from the capital to investigate the facts. It was. 

There were many bodies left in the dungeons, and there were survivors who testified as to what happened, so it was said that the marquis would feed the captured thieves and prostitutes the blood and flesh of demons and turn them into demons. It was also reported to the duchy that he had been conducting horrifying experiments. 

Marquis Huto is the person who made the greatest contribution to making the Duchy of Garis a great power both militarily and economically, and it seems that he will not be considered a criminal immediately, but he will be subject to a ``search'' by the national army as a missing person. 

Baron Dirk's view was that their status and honor would not be revoked under the current circumstances, and that the territory and interests in railways would not be confiscated but would be managed by the country by dispatching representatives. 

It seems that there are quite a few noble families who are jealous of the upstart Marquis Futo and are trying to undermine him, so it can be said that he has effectively fallen from grace. 

"It wasn't just monster blood and flesh..."

Thanks to Dirk, we were able to complete a relatively simple interview, so we returned to the inn, refreshed ourselves with water magic, and discussed our future plans. 

There, Eva began to talk about the reality of the horrifying underground jutsu that even we didn't know about. 

A few people were chosen from among the prostitutes and thieves who were okay with feeding on the blood and flesh of demons, and in a small room in the deepest part of the basement, a thin tube was inserted into their arm, and a man named themselves the Marquis of Foote was placed there. Is it the blood of the higher-class demon Gelfim? It is said that it had been injected. 

　

Most of them writhed and died madly, but the rare ones that survived quickly turned into demons, much faster than those given only demon blood, and remained much more powerful and intelligent than other demons. I say it has become. 

The last LV20 demon named Zultan we defeated did the same thing, and it seems that he was an executive-class demon. 

"...Who gave you that?"

Lucien's question is reasonable. Those who were taken either died or instantly turned into demons. 

"...That's what they told me directly when I was taken to the room where the forbidden jutsu was performed."

“What!?”

That's... 

"...Yeah, I got hit too."

Eva said that, her expression blank as if she had made it, and showed the inside of her left arm. A faint scar remained on the inside of his elbow. 

“Oh no!!”

"But it seems my 'vampire blood' is stronger...For the first time in my life, I'm grateful for my own cursed blood. My wounds have mostly healed..."

No one could continue the conversation any further. 

Instead, I brought up another important point. 

"What do you want to do now, Eva?"

"...What do you want to do?"

The half-vampire girl tilted her head slightly, not understanding what was being asked. Her long, clean silver hair flows smoothly. 

"Well, it's only been a few months since I was reincarnated from a different world than this one, and I want to see this world and have fun. Rumors about the demon lord and encountering demons are things that will happen. I just got caught up in it, so I guess it's my real job, but for now I'm traveling around the world as an adventurer.''

I looked around at everyone in the party to reaffirm my understanding. 

``Even if Lilith told me to and everyone accepted it, Eva still hasn't clearly asked me what she wants to do, right?I don't think it's okay for her to be my...partner? It doesn't have to be, and if there's something Eva wants to do or where she wants to go, she can be free, and I'd like to help her as much as possible...''

“That’s terrible.”

Eva suddenly covered her face with both hands and started crying. 

"You've come all this way to abandon me! I guess you think vampire girls are dirty after all..."

Looks like I made a mistake again... 

"No, that's not what I meant! I don't think that a beautiful woman like Eva would seriously want to be with me, or rather, I feel like she's trying to be a favor to me and making me her own." Are you saying you can pull it off?”

"I'm just kidding."

A mischievous smile spilled out between his fingers. 

When I looked up, there was no sign of crying...what on earth was that? 

"But it's not because Lilith told me to, it's just that you've been the one who's helped me up until now...and you've been the one who tried to help me even when I was in such danger. Since it was my first time, I thought that if I were to live as a human, I would like to be with you... That's my true feelings. Even when I look at Lucien and the others, I don't look unhappy at all."

After smiling at the three of them, Eva turned to me again. 

“You asked me where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, right?”

"Yeah"

"Please take me away from Garis. I once killed someone, and I hid my identity and became a prostitute. However, as a servant of a knight from another country, I probably won't be able to cross the border. I think I can do it again. Also, please let me gain experience as a member of your adventurer party for a while. I think I will be able to help you as I am a good force."

It's true that she's strong with her bare hands, and she has the blood of the vampire Lilith, so she'll definitely be a powerful party member. It's not a bad story for us as adventurers. 

“What do you mean, for a while?”

"Specifically, until I reach LV10...well, until I can change from this disgusting whore job."

Eva stared at me with a serious look on her face. 

That's right, Eva is a prostitute. For some reason, I can't see the status clearly, but that job will continue to follow me. 

In order to change jobs in this world's system, you normally need to be at least level 10. 

In order to earn those experience points, you need to either ``accumulate occupational experience specific to that job,'' or, common to all jobs, ``defeat monsters in battle.''

However, in a non-combat position, it is extremely difficult to gain work experience and raise your level to double digits. You won't see it unless you are quite old. 

In other words, in Eva's case, she ends up spending her life as a prostitute, constantly taking customers. 

However, if you are an adventurer who defeats monsters, like us, you should be able to raise your level to around LV10 in a short period of time. 

"...Okay. Is everyone okay too?"

Lucien, Carmilla, and Nolte nodded as if of course. 

"Then, please form a party. I need everyone who will fight with me to know about my abilities. I have a concealment skill, so..."

When Eva said that, she looked at her right hand. 

<Eva Verwijk - Female 18 years old Prostitute LV3

Skills Physical ability enhancement (large) HP recovery (large)

　　　　　Dark Assimilation　　　　　　Night vision

Charm (LV1) Status abnormality resistance

　　　　　　　Sex Skills (LV2)　　Contraception

Horse riding (LV1) Fighting (LV3)

Sword skills (LV1) Spear skills (LV1)

Short sword skills (LV2) Bow skills (LV1)>

Her diverse skills, which are hard to believe for a LV3, are probably due to the innate skills she inherited from her mother as a half-vampire, and the skills she acquired as a child as a daughter of a noble. 

In this way, Eva became a new friend.
