"I will help Onee-chan learn the ways of a girl as well." Ai-chan said with a bright smile and excitement in her eyes.
"Hehe, I will be in your care then Ai sensei." I state, while wondering how I was able to get such a wonderful younger sister.
"Fufufu, just leave it to me." Ai-chan states while posing in a proud stance.
"I swear you two, flirting again, I can't take my eyes off you two for a second." My mother states while giving Ai-chan and I an exasperated look.
Don't call your kids playing with one another flirting, I think to myself before stating, "Let's start the training, I excited to learn."
"Okay, first we will work on you speech, you have been using boku to refer to yourself, you are fully a girl now so you need to get in the habit of speaking feminine words and in a feminine tone, so from henceforth I want you to watashi to refer to yourself."
"Yes, Ma'am." I have practiced several times of referencing myself and my speech before playing games as a female. So, l I just need to flip that switch inside my brain. "I am quite sorry for that rude behavior earlier. I will ensure that I watch how I speak from now on."
"..." My mother and Ai-chan are staring at me blankly, not saying anything.
"Is something wrong, did I misspeak?" I ask still using watashi.
"What is this, Onee-chan, you sounded so natural and like a princess." After finally gaining her barring, Ai-chan finally asked me.
"Well in my video games I designed my character to look just like I am now, so I am referred to as the silver princess in game. To keep up with appearances I practiced and practiced in the mirror on how to speak and act." I answer as my face becomes bright red and I get more and more embarrassed.
"You always tried to keep from dissapointing others, and I understand why you decided to make your character into you ideal self, it was the only place where you felt your wish could come true, wasn't it, Yuri?" My mother asked me with a calm and accepting expression on her face.
I nod, feeling a bit emotional as my mother seems to understand my struggles. "Yes, that's right. In the game, I could be whoever I wanted to be, without any judgment or expectations from others. It was my safe haven."
My mother nods in understanding. "I see. Well, now you have the opportunity to be who you truly are, both as a girl and as a vampire. And we will support you every step of the way."
I feel a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that my family accepts and supports me for who I am. "Thank you, Mom. And thank you, Ai-chan, for helping me with my training."
Ai-chan beams at me. "Of course, Onee-chan! I'm excited to teach you everything I know."
My mother smiles. "Alright then, let's get started with the rest of your training."
As we continue with my training, I realize that it won't be easy to adjust to this new life as a vampire girl, but with the support of my family, I know I can do it. And who knows, maybe I'll even enjoy high school this time around
"Next, let's work on your mannerisms and posture." My mother states.
Ai-chan starts to demonstrate some basic movements, such as how to sit with crossed legs and how to walk gracefully. I try to imitate her, but my movements feel awkward and clumsy.
"Don't worry, Onee-chan," Ai-chan encourages me. "It takes practice to get it right. And remember, confidence is key. If you believe in yourself, others will believe in you too."
After a few hours of training, I feel like I've made some progress. My posture is straighter, and my movements feel a bit more graceful. Ai-chan gives me a big hug and tells me how proud she is of me.
Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. I can hear my mother talking to someone at the door. When she came walking back into the room, 2 people I knew very well were with her, it was my and Ai-chan's childhood friend Riho and her mother Rika.
"Yuri, Ai-chan, look who's here!" my mother exclaims, gesturing towards Riho and her mother.
I jump up from my seat, excited to see my childhood friend after so many years. "Riho! It's so good to see you!" I exclaim, running up to her and giving her a tight hug.
Riho laughs and hugs me back. "It's good to see you too, Yuri. You look different though, did you get a makeover or something?" Riho stated is a slight joking manner.
I blush, feeling a bit self-conscious about my new appearance as a vampire girl. "Uh, yeah, I guess you could say it's something like that, I am fully a girl and a vampire now," I explain, hoping that Riho won't judge me.
Riho's eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly recovers and gives me a warm smile. "That's so cool! I always knew you were unique, Yuri. And you look beautiful, by the way."
I feel my cheeks heat up even more, feeling grateful for Riho's acceptance. "Thank you, Riho. I'm still getting used to this but I'm excited for the journey ahead."
Rika, Riho's mother, approaches us and gives me a hug as well. "It's so nice to see you, Yuri. You've grown up so much since the last time I saw you."
I smile, feeling touched by her words. "Thank you, Rika-san. It's good to see you too."
My mother chimes in, "Why don't we all sit down and catch up over some tea and snacks?"
We all settle down at the table, and my mother brings out a tray of tea and cookies. We chat and catch up on each other's lives, with Riho and Rika telling us about their recent travels.
"It has been great catching up, but I guess it is time to move onto the topic we came here for, Yuri, Riho and I are both servants the Blossom clan, and given that you just transformed, I am sure there is a lot you are confused about. However, I will explain everything to you now.
"Guess whose home, now where is my new daughter!" My father yelled, running through the door with a cake and flowers in hand. He always has the worse timing.
