Chapter 50: Heartache

Anyway.

There was a bit of trouble, but the consultation with Tacchia ended fairly smoothly.

I returned the weapon, and we agreed to use the materials I brought to make new armor.

In addition, she bought some of the materials to supplement my living expenses and even gave me extra money to spend on entertainment.

The armor will be ready by tomorrow, so go home and rest for the day.

No, you dont have to do this much

Didnt you move me to the bed when I collapsed yesterday?

Keep it. Its also a thank you for fully complying with my request.

Of course, given my situation, it was better to accept whatever I could get.

Just as I was about to leave the forge with the money she gave me

Ah, wait a moment.

She went back into the forge and soon came out, placing something in my hand.

A long spear.

It was the Ego Weapon she had lent me before.

Why this?

Id like to make an additional deal before you leave.

Deal.

When we first met, she made a sudden offer like this, involving the spear.

She said she wanted to test something with my abilities and would lend me this spear for a while.

If I give you this spear, would you accept it?

But now, it wasnt just a matter of lending.

She was offering to transfer the ownership of this precious spear to me.

To me?

Your abilities have the potential to accelerate the growth of an Ego Weapon. Just receiving regular reports on that would be beneficial in many ways.

Indeed, the weapon recognizes me as its owner; hence, it responds to my call.

Given the effect it had shown in just a few days of use, it would seem worth researching from her perspective as a craftsman.

Since I was the only one with this ability in this world, she probably didnt want to miss this opportunity.

Whats the condition?

You just need to fulfill one wish of mine. However, Ill tell you what it is after you accept Given the value, I assume you can accept that much?

To be told what she wanted after accepting

It was a condition that could easily lead to coercion, but I didnt feel any particular wariness about her offer.

I knew best how remarkable this weapons performance was, and considering it was still growing, there was a possibility it could become even more incredible.

The opportunity to obtain it now, rather than after saving up money in the future, was a sensational offer in itself.

So, will you accept?

I

Yet, my hesitation to readily accept her offer wasnt due to worries about what she might ask for in return.

I believe she, who felt gratitude towards me and even offered me a meal, wouldnt deceive me with malice

Because I remembered that my decision to borrow this weapon initially was not for its performance but due to my fondness for her.

Besides, having this weapon will naturally create opportunities to meet Ms. Tacchia again, right?

Opportunity to meet again?

Yes, I like Ms. Tacchia.

Yes, she might be blunt and rough, but she wasnt a bad person.

So, I believed we could have a good relationship in the future, and that expectation was fulfilled by receiving favors like a meal this morning.

As long as it wasnt like bidding farewell soon after showing kindness to me, like she did recently.

Im sorry, but may I take a little more time to think about it?

Is it too burdensome?

Even if she didnt know the exact reason, she sensed some hesitation.

Sensing this faintly, Tacchia soon lit her cigarette and said,

Yeah, its best to be careful about making promises. Take your time to think until you come to get the armor tomorrow.

Her attitude remained generous.

I politely said goodbye and turned to leave the forge.

Please forget about me.

No, never mind.

If that wasnt certain, it might be better to keep a distance from the start.

Having come to that conclusion, I shrugged off the arms wrapped around me and intended to leave.

It was after I had walked about five steps that a voice called out from behind.

Whats with that guy, drunkenly spouting nonsense? I thought he had a lot of money the way he ordered at the bar, but now hes just babbling.

Forget it. Half the world is men anyway. I can just find another guy.

A voice sharp with blatant intention.

Realizing she didnt even try to lower her voice, a bitter smile naturally formed on my lips.

After all, what right did a mere outsider like me have to be approached by women?

Merilyn and Vivian accepted me regardless, but if it were easy to find such people, I wouldnt be in this dilemma.

Oh, found one~ Hey there, handsome~ You look lonely. Wanna have some fun with me~?

After distancing herself from me, the dancer approached another man, but I withdrew my attention and continued on my way.

Whoever gets swindled for money, it doesnt matter to me now.

Are you a virgin?

My steps halted when another voice came from behind.

What?

I asked if youre a virgin.

It was a familiar voice.

Not one Id heard often, but it seemed like a voice I had heard before.

Aye~ Of course, I am~ But it depends on what you do, Oppa~

Then die, you filthy virgin!!

Before I could even think of who the voice belonged to, a loud noise erupted.

Eh?

The groan escaping her lips wasnt even a scream, and the fragments of her body, brutally slaughtered, were scattered on the ground.

Despite this, the vampire who had slain her was tearing even those fragments apart with his sharp claws.

How dare this filthy and unclean woman try to taint someone?! You pure bitches deserve to die a thousand times! No, you should disappear without a trace from this world!

Rip, rip. The sounds of flesh being torn apart rang out, and the body of the dancer who had approached me was mangled beyond recognition.

Even in a scarcely populated alley, it was a moment where a person was mercilessly slaughtered within the bounds of human territory.

Oh, I got excited uncharacteristically. The world is just full of corrupt bitches Hm?

As I stared in horror, the vampire, shaking the blood off his hand, started to turn his gaze toward me.

Yes, he was a vampire.

About a year ago, he was the vampire who killed the hero I served for the reason of being a virgin.

Young man passing by. Come here for a moment.

Ah, yes.

I realized too late that I was in trouble, but running away might provoke him to pierce me from behind.

As I approached him with as much composure as I could muster, a bright smile began to form on the lips of the vampire, who was intently looking at me.

Ah, yes. A face I definitely remember. Arent you the polite young man I saw back then?

Yes, its been a long time. But that

Swoosh!

Just as I was about to correct myself, the vampire suddenly vanished from before my eyes.

Then, as a chilly sensation enveloped me from behind, he reappeared silently from the darkness and began to drape his arm over my shoulder.

Haha~ Its truly a pleasure to meet like this. Young man, have you gained some experience with women since then?

No, not yet

Oh dear, I gave you some serious advice, yet you still lack experience? You are quite a novice, haha!

Saying so, the vampire began to smile slyly.

Although I was intimidated by his ease in slaughtering a person, the hand that led me was filled not with hostility but with friendliness.

Well, its too much to expect results from just one meeting back then. I have a hideout nearby. Come along. Ill offer you a cup of tea there.

Yes, yes? Wait a moment

There is no need to refuse. My age perhaps compels me not to just pass by young people like you. Come on, lets go before more people show up!

No way, this vampire. He just slaughtered someone, and yet he was so calm about it.

I too lacked experience, but why was it okay to be inexperienced and not okay to be a virgin?

Why did this vampire hate virgins so much?
