The next day, early in the morning.
In the dining room of the Tohno family, a subtle atmosphere hung in the air.
Tohno Akiha sat at the head of the table with her arms crossed, eyes closed, ignoring the breakfast in front of her, she sat with a trace of restrained emotion on her deliberately tense, charming face.
Tohno Shiki sat next to Tohno Akiha. Although he had cutlery in his hands, he seemed to be unable to start eating as he often looked to the side with a nervous expression on his face.
Kohaku and Hisui stood behind Tohno Akiha and Tohno Shiki. Kohaku had a bitter smile on her face while Hisui remained expressionless. Both remained silent.
Only Fang Li, standing to the side, watched the situation with a faint smile, unable to hide his amusement.
The reason for everyone's behavior was due to the presence of one person.
"Au..."
With a cute sound, Arcueid took a bite of the bread in her hand, chewing it in small bites with a satisfied expression and smiling expression on her face.
"This is so delicious! I didn't know that human food could be so tasty."
Saying this, Arcueid took another bite of bread, like a small animal being fed, her innocent and naive princess attitude fully on display.
The discontent and intensity of last night seemed to have completely disappeared at the moment.
However, her obliviousness to the atmosphere only caused irritation among those who didn't want to see her.
Tohno Akiha, for example.
Tohno Akiha opened her eyes and looked at the happily eating Arcueid and spoke mercilessly.
"If you've finished eating, please leave. Don't come near here again and I'll turn a blind eye to your presence."
Her words were surprisingly harsh.
Obviously, Arcueid was not welcome in Tohno Akiha's house.
This was not surprising.
Even though she had the blood of demons and was herself a mixed-blood human, Tohno Akiha didn't want to enter an inhuman world. At least, she didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of that world.
Therefore, Arcueid was naturally unwelcome in Tohno Akiha's eyes.
Unfortunately for her, Arcueid didn't seem to notice anything strange.
"I have a lot I want to know too."
Arcueid insisted.
"With the appearance of two Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in two different people, I'm very interested in this place."
Hearing Arcueid's words, Fang Li merely raised an eyebrow, while Tohno Shiki froze in place.
"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
Tohno Akiha was slightly stunned after hearing those words and her reaction was also understandable.
Tohno Akiha only knew that Fang Li and Tohno Shiki were survivors of the Nanaya Clan. She didn't know that both of them possessed a pair of terrifying Mystic Eyes.
Likewise, Tohno Shiki was unaware that Tohno Akiha was actually one of the people who he is supposed to hunt like the glutton princess.
In Tohno Shiki's mind, his family was just an ordinary financial conglomerate, not one that could enter this inhuman world.
So while Tohno Akiha was stunned, Tohno Shiki hastily changed the subject.
"By the way, what exactly happened last night?"
Last night, Tohno Shiki had been ordered by Hisui to stay in his room, regardless of the commotion outside, and was not allowed to come out.
Tohno Shiki looked confused and said, "It sounded like there were a lot of noises, including wild animal calls, and when I got up this morning, the courtyard was in that state. What exactly happened?
"Oh, that?" Arcueid said nonchalantly, "That was just a vampire attack."
"Vampire?" Tohno Shiki's eyes widened in surprise.
"Enough!" Tohno Akiha could not hold back any longer. She slapped the table, stood up, and glared at Arcueid, "Please do not mention such absurd things in the Tohno household. If you continue, I will have to ask you to leave!
Hearing this, Arcueid stopped eating and fixed her blood-red eyes on Tohno Akiha. The smile on her face began to fade.
That was a sign of anger.
Arcueid was never one to hide her feelings; whatever she felt, she showed it.
Now that Tohno Akiha had rebuked her so bluntly, it would be strange if Arcueid didn't get angry.
However, Tohno Akiha had no intention of backing down either at this point.
The delicate atmosphere in the dining room grew heavy.
"Wait... wait!" Tohno Shiki stood up hastily, speaking somewhat helplessly.
"'What are you doing? Calm down, both of you!"
But both Arcueid and Tohno Akiha ignored Tohno Shiki and stared at each other.
"'Alright."' Fang Li finally spoke up and addressed them. "The dining table is not the place to argue. One of you is a princess and the other is the head of the household. Do you not understand basic table manners?"
"Argh..." Arcueid and Tohno Akiha were instantly speechless.
Tohno Shiki looked at Fang Li with admiration when she saw how Fang Li managed to ease the tension between the two stubborn ladies with just a few words.
Kohaku seized the moment to address Tohno Akiha, "Akiha Sama, it's time for school.
This statement made Tohno Akiha frown.
Obviously, given the situation, Tohno Akiha did not feel comfortable leaving.
Seeing this, Fang Li spoke firmly.
"You should go."
Hearing Fang Li's words, Tohno Akiha remained silent for a moment, then snorted coldly, turned around and left the dining room with deliberately firm steps, followed by Kohaku, who giggled as she followed.
Fang Li then turned to Hisui and said, "You should go as well. Leave this to me."
Hisui hesitated for a while, then nodded, bowed, and left the dining room.
Finally, only Fang Li, Arcueid and Tohno Shiki were left.
"What the hell," Arcueid said unhappily. "What's wrong with that little sister?"
"Akiha is just like that. Her temper might not be the best, don't take it to heart," Tohno Shiki said carefully. "Anyway, back to the topic, the vampire you mentioned, is it the one you said you were dealing with earlier?"
"Not at all." Arcueid shook her head, apparently having forgotten her earlier misfortune. "Nrvnqsr was only here to hunt me. I'm after another vampire."
"That..." Tohno Shiki said confused, "Why do vampires hunt each other?"
Returning to the fundamental question, perhaps this needed to be asked.
Of course, Fang Li already understood the answer to this question.
He knew the reasons and complexities behind it.
