"Hmm ♫ ♪ ♩ "
A melodious smile sounded like a gentle whisper of wind in the ear. Girl (?) navy-haired dark and bluish skin continued to hum merrily while combing Ruby's glowing golden hair.
"That song.. where have I heard it?" thought Ruby was calm.
Just a moment ago, Eli had finished escorting Ruby to her room. They chatted lightly even though it looked like a one-way conversation. Eli intended to leave Ruby for a while to organize her heart and mind. But the intention was extinguished when he saw Ruby had trouble organizing herself.
"The noble ladies can't do this kind of thing on their own, huh."
In the middle of his senand, Eli chuckled.
Although invisible in Ruby's expression, she actually snatched away an annoyance.
"This was because the effects of staying for long in this world as nobles and clothes in this world were very complicated. It's not like I can't change it myself."
During the combing, Eli continued raving on some unimportant topics to enliven the atmosphere. She's not really a girl (?) who talks a lot, yet strangely he can speak fluently now.
"Is it because my subconscious thinks this girl is a Tiara?" his inner.
"...... Princes... Aquamarines..."
"?"
Eli was a little surprised. To be honest this was the first time she had heard Ruby's voice because the girl had been quietly listening.
"...... Why would... Prince Aquamarine got this far?" ruby asked doubtfully.
"Hmm~. I don't really understand what he's thinking either" Eli replied, not entirely lying.
Ruby glanced at Eli in disbelief. Because of the girl (?) it replied like that, Ruby thought she did not want to open her mouth.
"Then... y'all... who is?" ask the girl again.
Eli thought for a moment, "After some thought.Our relationship with Aqua outside of Raven was somewhat ambiguous."
"Friends.. or colleagues. You can think of our relationship like that" Eli smiled.
"Family...?" inner Ruby.
"It's done!!!"
Eli lowered his body to the head of the girl (?) it was parallel to Ruby. They both looked at the mirror in front of them.
"Good!! The result was better than I thought!!" gladly.
Ruby looked at the mirror with eyes full of admiration. Her hair was disheveled due to the tired effect of everything that happened today. But now let alone the messy, her hair was very soft and shining. Her hairstyle was styled in such a way by Eli.
"Beautiful.." murmured Ruby.
"Of course!! You think I'm the-"
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Eli had not yet finished his sentence, a scream was heard through the room. The scream that was originally loud enough was heard getting smaller, the sign of the owner of the voice began to move away.
"......"
Ruby and Eli were silent on the spot.
"That was Pietro's voice. What else now?" eli asked somewhat depressed.
"?"
Ruby didn't really understand what had just happened. But hearing Eli say "again" means this has happened.
Eli sighed a little heavy. She put Ruby's comb on the dresser and turned towards the door.
"You've been wearing casual clothes and I've been combing your hair too. I also explained the location of the dining room to you. Sorry Ruby, please go to the dining room by yourself, I'll check things out for a minute."
"Ah.. good.." replied Ruby briefly.
A moment Eli's hand made an apologetic pose before he opened the door and chased after Pietro to find out what had happened. This vampire girl was left in a confused state just like that.
RUBY POV
She why? Any more? This happens often?
I don't get it. This group is very strange. And again Pietro Chalcedony... Aqua, he developed his strength faster than his game.
Nah! I've decided I won't compare this place to the game anymore because the reality is already too different.
"The girl said a lot but didn't introduce her name yet" I muttered.
As she wished, I got out of the chair to go to the dining room. For a moment I looked at this room. A very beautiful and luxurious western style room with a pink dominant color. Not pink, but pink. Color red, black and white. It fits me well.
Did they design this room specifically for me? ..... Not likely.
After putting on my slippers, I walked out of the room without forgetting to lock the door. The dining room is not too far from the room. Just need to walk straight in the hallway about 25 m and turn right 3 m.
It was strange that a mansion this big had no servants. The only servant in this house is a man named Heolstor Erebus. Now I remember, I've heard that name. That name..is the name that big brother used when he was Chuunibyou. Why is the disgrace of early Junior High School even heard here? What kind of coincidence is this!?
The more I thought about it. The more the conclusion became abstract.
DEGGG
What!!?
"What was that!!!??"
My head turned quickly to the left of the fork towards the dining room.
Something is not right!!!!
What kind of goosebumps is this!? No. Not just goosebumps. It felt like.hawa stifles pulled me in that direction.
My breath is heavy whatever calls me. It's not normal.
I know I should have ignored that call. But why...every step of my foot away...this feeling of tightness is getting more pronounced? What the fuck is that really!?
Without me realizing it, once I finished thinking, I was right in front of the door which was the source of the feeling of tightness earlier. Large and beautiful natural blue colored wooden door. An elaborate magic array was sculpted on that door.
BZZZTTTTTT
"Ack..."
Sick... this... electric shock? I haven't even touched it.
What is inside here until such a powerful Array is sculpted on the door!?
To be honest I know this is rude and impudent for a guest like me trying to figure it out too deeply. I know I shouldn't have done that. But. the feeling of tightness that called me felt more and more like I wanted to go in right now.
I looked around me, there were no people or sentient beings at all. My teeth were bluffing, I felt like I was split into two halves. Among those who want to get out of here immediately and who want to check out this room.
It seems like the part that wanted to check was superior.
There is no way to enter but through the door. At the door was given an array that prevented anyone from entering. It's hard, but not impossible.
There's gap! Even if it was just a small gap, that was enough.
I bit my index finger a little hard to the point of dripping blood.
[The Blood Manipulation ]
The blood coming out of my finger entered the crack. I can see what my blood sees, it's just a parable.
Strange.I can't see anything. Don't tell me this... barrier!?
Previously a protective array and now a barrier!?
What are they protecting up to like this!!?
"......."
It doesn't feel right to go any further. But I can't control myself. It was impossible for a few drops of blood to pass through that barrier. So I used the blood to open the door from the inside.
CKLEKKK
The door opened after some hassle. I was just going to peek and then leave. But because of this barrier and this stifling feeling, however, I wanted to see what the Barrier was trying to protect.
A stronger electric shock stung me as my finger touched the barrier.
"There's no other way."
[ Blood Domination ]
Blood from my finger flowed out even though the wound was recovering and covered the entire barrier.
I honestly don't want to use this skill. This skill allowed me to take over the opponent's magic. But only limited to magic that I understand both how it works and can use. Fortunately, I learned a lot before.
Now stay...
[ Break ]
The barrier wall slowly faded away like a paper candy that was exposed to water. The longer the vision barrier also faded until I could see fully what was inside the barrier.
DEGGG
"!!!!!!"
BRUGGGH
My feet immediately lost strength. I can't believe what my eyes see.
Is this...real!?
No.... Is this possible!!??
What the fuck!!!!!????
Please tell me that I am dreaming now!!!
My eyes saw it. A teenage girl was lying weakly on a big mattress right in the middle. Her sky blue hair, dazzling beauty and pure white wings were indeed shocking. But that's not what surprised me!!
"No way... That face.... me!!??"
