Chapter 26: I will go have a talk even I’m sleepy .
“……Hmm”
I seemed to have fallen asleep . I woke up from sleep because I felt the smell of blood . There are various bad smells . Obviously there is a smell of beasts and smells of blood, and there is also a sweet smell make my fangs tickle . Various animals, humans perhaps, the blood of demons as well .
“…This smell, it is “old blood” right ?”
The smell of the drifting blood was not fresh but it’s just recent . After being scattered, it was left alone, after a while it became old as it is . It smells like that . Of course, it never smells like blood from long time ago … It was confident that my vampire instinct have with “old blood” . There is no evidence, but I feel it was like that .
“Wake up, Argento” (TN: Neguseo don’t use –san or Arge but Argento) “Oh, Neguseo-san” “…” “What happened, Neguseo-san, you have a strange face, did you have any problems?neguseo-san? Hey, Neguseo-san . Nēgu ̄se ̄o ̄-san ” “Yes, it’s okay, no problem . ”
It was fun to play with Neguseo-san’s complicated face every time I called his name,but I stopped because from the smell of his blood, he was anxious . I raise my body from the bed of grass and use my hand to sweep the dust and leaves on my clothes . From the inclination of the day, right now may be the evening . If I concentrate on smell, I can immediately pin point the direction in which the smell drifted .
“… The smell of people, is not it?”
It is not only the smell of “old blood” . I also smell some people mixing in . Humans and “old blood” . And the story of Oswald . When combine all of them together, there is one thing that I can think of .
“…Mi tsuri ~yo…” (TN: sorry I can’t get what it mean, someone is talking far away and our MC can hear it) “―― Bumo~o~o~o~o~o~o~o! ! ! !” “Kya ~tsu”
Before I can hear words to the end, a siren-like roaring through the forest . I was surprised and close my ears, but that is probably the voice of Oswald-kun .
“The guardian of the forest is fighting” “… No, that is wrong . ” “Mu … What does that mean?”
The scent that stimulates the nose is getting darker and steadier . It is a fragrance of new blood . That fills the smell of old blood . The important thing is that blood scent is from a demon . Or more accuaracy, it is a Bull’s smell .
“He seems to be pushed back”
If Oswald-kun is dominating, the new blood will have a sweet smell, the smell of human blood . It is not my favorite smell but it smells arouse my vampire instict the most . Right now, I can only smell people’s smell but I can smell monters and their blood smell . That’s mean only the monsters get hurt .
“Neguseo-san, I will go ahead a little, so please follow me slowly . ” “What are you going to do?”
“A few days ago, I separate from the person I’m indebted without even saying a goodbye … I do not want it happen twice . ”
Floating in my mind is Odd Eye and big breast girl Felnote-san . She is a serious person . She may be mad at me for not say even a word before leaving . I should apologize if I meet someday . (TN: Yes, she is really, really mad, she waste all her scene time in character info to swear will catch you and complain a whole lot)
… For now, let’s clean up things before my eyes . (I guess she mean to help Oswald out of his mess)
It will be bad if Oswald-kun get killed, I’m not even say goodbye and thank yet . More important, It will make me sad that I can not take a nap comfortably . Literally .
When I thought so, I already left Neguseo-san and was running ahead . From behind, I heard his voice again ” Buhin~tsu! ? “ . But now I do not have time to explain so I will leave him alone .
The smell of blood is getting stronger . I guess it would be better to hurry .
