Chapter 42 - Confession

After having a deal pre-deal with the king of Salfarmia, Mryna accompanied me in the walls of the capital.

On top of the castle's wall, we can see the little houses, appearing in front of our eyes. 

As the sun started to set, the orange skies lit on the top of Mryna's platinum hair. I didn't even think of her as an important person, only thinking of her as a regular young lady.

Who would've thought that those 2 days of staying here, a girl, just the same age as my body, would recognize me as a normal person, and not as a monster?

I don't know what should I give as a farewell. Perhaps a power? But I don't want to remove her freedom from being a human. It's not for me to decide.

Mryna, at my side, was wearing this lonely expression for a while now.

"What's the matter?" I asked in a tone of worried.

"Nothing, just can't believe it that those two days, I'll get this attached to you."

"What? Are you crazy?"

I just laughed at it. I don't even know why we are on top of the wall like a dramatic scene accompanied by the setting of the sun.

"Well, it's just that I never thought that the person who saved our diner was a ruler of a country. What was it again?"

"It's Lucifarge, but I still want to change it. It's not even the official." I said with my voice touched with a giggly manner.

"Still, I want to thank you."

"You already said your thanks."

Mryna is a sweet girl, I can assure you that. She is... what you call, a side character but still lovable.

There's nothing even more about this dramatic scene, I was just going home. I said to her that I'll go back to my land.

"Here. This is the formula for cultivating the land."

"Formula." I chuckled a little about that word. "Pretty important word of choice huh."

"Stop laughing! It's what we call here!"

"Okay. Jeez, can't even receive a joke."

Mryna laughed a little, but when she noticed it, she made the lonely expression, again.

Sighs... This is tiresome. Girls are really hard to understand.

"Thanks for this. And for you." I opened my inventory then pulled out the Trump Card Sword.

The brilliant rainbow sword reflected the light of the sun. It was as if a rainbow just touched a land as we can see right now, the sword is amazingly glittering.

"I want you to have this." I shoved it to Mryna.

As for giving it to her, her eyes obviously widened. She can't believe what I did. This is quite an important thing to be called a farewell gift.

"Wh-what's this?" She asked.

I removed my robe then covered the sword with it. It is really a dangerous object. I just want to give it to her since I made a mess in this country. I just want her to protect herself and her family.

"This...? It's my sword. I want you to have it."

Her eyes became surprised as she hesitantly accepted the sword.

"H-how can I receive such an important item?"

"Don't worry about it. It's easy to create."

"Calling it easy, I can't imagine what do your people do."

"Don't think of it. And about this why am I giving it to you? I want you to use it as protection."

"Protection you say? Why would I need to be protected?"

Well, if she can't notice it, it's bad. 

She's a beautiful lady, she needs the protection of course. And the mess that I created, they would surely find a way to trace me. But, since she's in the castle right now, I need her to use this for protection.

"It's because you're an important asset of this country. And I want to see you again in the future."

"Really? T-thanks." She embraced the sword to carry it. 

Slightly, she blushed. Well, that was quite a... difficult thing to understand. Why did she blush?

"Can you remove your mask?"

"Why?"

"I want to see your face once again."

I sighed at her request. It wouldn't hurt if I let her-

Before I could completely remove my mask, just halfway, I saw Mryna up close, with her lips touching mine.

My eyes widened at what happened. She is... kissing me.

It happened for almost 10 seconds. And in that timeframe, I was stunned.

"S-sorry." She said.

"N-no." Obviously, I was surprised. But I don't want to act dumb and ignorant.

"You surprised me. I wouldn't think that you'll like me." I said.

"Well, I realized that I have no chance of winning over you so at least... I want to kiss you."

I felt something with her words. I didn't really mind it at all but I am curious about what it really was. 

At first, it could be called sympathizing, but I don't really want to call it that way. Am I learning how to understand people's feelings?

Is this perhaps what they call love? I don't know... but at least I can assure you that it wasn't coming from me. It was from her.

"That's a really hard matter to think." I said in a manner of joking.

"It's really hard."

The sound of a cloth being touched reached my ears. 

Mryna embraced me from my abdomen. Her head is currently on my chest. And I don't know how to react!

I haven't experienced this thing in my entire life!

"M-Mryna?"

"Hanzel. Thank you. And... I love you."

***

I already left Salfarmia and I still can't forget what Mryna did and said.

I felt like it was a difficult decision she made. She was fighting with time since she doesn't know when I really going and when will I ever see her. Well, it's not like I don't want to be attached.

It was her who was attached to me.

[Hanzel, did you play a playboy role back on Earth?"]

"Shut up!"

Sighs... Tema's jokes are really dangerous. Why did she really become like this?

I know that Tema inherited my human nature, but at least, I don't act like that. My human nature differs from others so, it's questionable how did her personality go that way.

'By the way. If I share my power, they will surely become a vampire right?'

My question is really important. I haven't really thought about what will be the result if I share a portion of my power. 

Since this race is really nothing compared to the original effects of the original race, I don't know if the blood pact will be surely successful.

First, I am a vampire that has a weakness only to extreme light magic, so sunlight doesn't affect me. Second, my category is parasitic! It's my first time hearing that!

Sighs... what a crazy world really it this.

[When you share your power, it really doesn't mean that your whole power would be taken a chunk. It's about sharing your blood with others then bless them with it.]

'Then what will be the effect?'

[They will become vampires. But their weakness will be also present. However there is a countereffect for that, it is... the miracle reflecting lotion.]

Miracle Reflecting Lotion? What's kind of thing is that? 

'What's that?'

[Sunscreen.]

...

'What the hell is that description?!'

[Forgive me. This is a Fantasy World from your previous world's description. So technically, that word fits in this world.]

'But that's still a dumb name for sunscreen! And what does it do? Protects them from UV rays?'

[It doesn't. It weakens the effect of light. So if you are thinking of sharing your power, better create sunscreen first.]

'Okay. But how will I? Do you have any information on how to create that?'

[I still don't have. The percentage of our merging state is still at 89%. When it gets completed, I will surely report it to you.]

'Good.'

This discovery is really important. If I want to at least build a stronger human or vampire army, I can and they can still have the freedom from going outside during daylight.

The reason I was intrigued by this vampire blood pact, is because of the natural abilities of vampires. To be fast than anyone.

There are still different natural abilities, like having clairvoyance which the senses are stronger than normal humans. It is really an important asset for data gathering.

I really need data gathering or should I say, spies. Spies are really important for intel. So the next time I visit a country, I will have their weakness and strengths on my awareness.

Sighs... that was just two days. And right now, I am flying back to Florencia.

But it's okay, that week that I said was just for assurance. No one knows that this would be easy as Olteria.

I finally saw Florencia emerging from my vision. As soon as I arrived, my servant was not surprised, as expected.

These people don't really recognize persons by their appearance. They sense the presence and aura.

My body is quite taller than before, so I guess, I wanted someone to be surprised.

"My Lord!"

I saw Rayas rushing towards my direction. I greeted him with a nod, then listened to his words.

"You were early, My Lord." He said.

"Yes. I never thought that it would be easy. By the way, take this and send it to Lucy. I will visit the town for a while. I'm looking for craftsmen and builders that knew how to build underground."

Rayas, as expected, was confused about my plan.

He received the parchment before talking again.

"What was your plan, My Lord?"

"I'm thinking of creating a passage to my dimension." I answered.

Since Rayas is one of my generals, it's his right to know things. I'll start with the dimensional biome.

"Your dimension?"

"Yes. I created an imitation of our world. To be precise, I created a small world."

After hearing that, his eyes widened. "That's great, My Lord! I didn't think that you could create in that league."

I only chuckled then tapped his shoulders.

"Don't worry, I'll slowly tell you what I really am. But first, I want you to hand that to Lucy so she can start the primary plan. She already knew what to do with that."

"Yes, My Lord!" After that, he left and headed to the mansion.

So... my next job is to find men for the creation of my dungeon core room. Since I always forget it, I will surely finish it right now.

This will become the greatest secret of our nation.
