Talking with other peeps

"No"

She turned around and left me, oh well it is understandable. Who would want to drink blood willingly? Well apart from blood suckers of course.

I too followed her back to her room. Oh wait, I forgot to clean up-

I turned around and jogged to the location where I kept those blood and petradishes. Little by little, I began to clean them up

"[{~¦ah¦~}]"

I accidentally spilled a tiny portion of a petradish and some blood landed on my left forearm. It quickly dried up, and thankfully, the majority of it was my blood. I quickly rubbed it on my pajamas.

'[{~¦yeah this is fine, no way it will cause anything. The blood is already absorbed in my body…. Wait, what if I develop an infection and die? Nah, I'm not going to die permanently just because my physical body dies.¦~}]'

What's the worst that can happen?

After cleaning up, I quickly followed her back to her room

"Oh…"

She muttered under her breath as she looked at the sleeping Karl with great annoyance due to singlehandedly taking over her already massive bed by spreading over his arms and legs and sleeping on an angle. I too, would be annoyed by that.

"Great, now what? I don't want to sleep again on the floor!"

She stepped forward closer to the bed, and she was about to shake Hyena's body around but I stopped her by grabbing both her shoulders.

"[{~ Let's just sleep in the guest quarters¦~}]"

"Full"

Oh, how convenient

"[{~ Then, what about my room?¦~}]"

"Sure, but don't let me sleep on the floor!"

"[{~¦no worries, you may sleep on my bed. It is large enough for the two of us.¦~}]"

We entered my room and she immediately flicked a switch that made the lightbulb on my ceiling light up a warm yellowish light.

"[{~¦can't sleep without the lights on?¦~}]"

I said with a smirk to tease her. But to my surprise-

"Yes"

I immediately stopped the urge to laugh at this revelation. A demon lord can't sleep without lights! Hahaha!

"I'll sleep on this side-"

She pointed at the left side of the bed

"And this is where you will sleep"

She then moved her hand across and began pointing at the right side of the bed.

I silently nodded at what she said. We then lay down and slept on our sides while turning our backs on each other.

Damn, I can't sleep. My eyes were already closed for 5 minutes, and it was a miracle she fell asleep in 2 minutes! She was really active a few moments ago. I was about to kill my brain but I felt something pierce my forearm.

Huh?

I opened my eyes and I saw Pumpkin grow fangs on her jaw. Her jaw was munching on my poor arm. I wonder what is happening to her cells currently.

I moved my body a little bit and I changed my sleeping position from sleeping on my right side to laying on my back.

My nervous system was going haywire, of course, it would. What kind of human body wouldn't respond to pain? But while my brain was getting those pain signals, it didn't really hurt.

I again changed my sleeping position to now sleeping on my left side. We are now facing each other, and it warms my heart a little seeing Pumpkin munching on my arm with blood dripping while closing her eyes.

Wait, why am I thinking about this?

With my free right arm, I slightly slapped her face to awaken her. It made her move her head a little bit, but she was still not awake and was still munching on my arm. And so, I slapped her again, this time it woke her up.

Her head slowly began to shake, until her face contracted due to confusion. 'Why am is there something inside my mouth?' Is probably what is inside her head right now. I don't know, I don't want to read her mind because it invades her privacy.

I saw her eyes open revealing her beautiful blue eyes. It was as if the calm lake of the Mediterranean was inside her eyes.

(AN: I don't think I described her eyes, and so it is now official that it is blue. But if I already wrote a different eye color before, then forgive me but that was now rewritten because of this chapter)

She immediately pulled her mouth away from my forearm and she quickly sat up in my bed still in shock. My arm instantly healed the moment there was a space to heal. While the blood that she took from me dripped out of her mouth.

Her precious eyes were tainted by a look of shock, confusion, and trauma. This was much worse than before it could be explained by a traumatic event caused by the knife. But now, there was no reason for her to drink my blood or even bite me.

________________________________________________________________________

She immediately fell to the bed once again asleep with all of my blood gone. It was as if she never bit me. Thanks !

But still…. I'm quite curious about what the conditions in her cells are like. I magnified my eyes to observe the cells on her body, and yep. The same as on the petridish. Could I reverse the changes? I'm not sure. Either the time break is too weak for me that I can reverse the changes in her DNA, or I wouldn't be able to.

I let my body fall to the comfort of my bed, resumed my previous sleeping position, and closed both of my eyes to embrace the darkness in the physical plane.

I woke up earlier than my bedmate because I was their chef. I washed my hands inside the kitchen and began preparing our meals. I wonder what I should cook for today?

Hmmmmmm. Yeah, I'm a bit lazy today, and so I decided that I would just make sausages with some strawberry cheesecake.

The aroma of the meat mixed with paprika entered my nostrils, and I gladly took it. After cooking 40 sausages, I focused my attention on the cheesecake that I was making.

After the cheesecake was done, I began cooking my own food which is just a single cup of chocolate milk, mashed potatoes, and an egg.

Hmh* hmh* I wiped the smudge off the glass, it infuriated me.

I'll just tell Pumpkin later to make me potato fries.

We began riding the carriage together, us three going to school. While riding the carriage, we were silent and it was getting boring, and so I started the conversation first.

"[{~¦I wonder what happened to those priests that weren't a part of the plot to take my eyes, do you know anything Karl?¦~}]"

"Woah?! A perfectly normal topic that you made? I'm impressed"

Leigh said to me with both of her eyes widened. Come on, I can make normal topics, I just chose not to.

"They probably are still teaching, hope they are already gone"

I was about to invite Leigh to lunch- but it seems the girls have already taken her. Damn it, she brought my fries with her! I turned my opinion towards Karl.

"I'm sorry Ashura, but I'll be absent this whole afternoon. The king commanded me to come home at once, I think I won't be able to go to school for the next 2 to 3 days. I'll probably be reprimanded for killing those priests"

"[{~¦I see, well goodluck!¦~}]"

Oh, what about Dieb?

I turned my gaze towards his table and he was just reading a novel silently, all alone like a loner. I walked towards him and invited him to the cafeteria.

"[{~¦wanna go eat?¦~}]"

My voice caught his attention. He raised his head from the book and stared at my eyes with a bored look.

"No"

He lowered his head again and continued reading.

"[{~¦so, are you like going to eat?¦~}]"

It looks like he has no plan to eat. Seems he is speedreading his book.

"I'll eat later once I finish reading."

I quietly left him without leaving any remarks. And so I decided to expand my connections. I entered the cafeteria and the smell of grease entered my nose. I began looking around for someone to sit with. And so it happens I found my prey. Nicholaas was sitting on a rectangular table and around him are his circle of friends. 5 boys and 6 girls in total including Nicholaas. I walked towards them and just sat at their table, my presence immediately caught their attention.

Nicholaas's appearance is that of a well-built man. He is of average height, and his skin is like snow. His eyes are blue like the sea and his hair is dark brown with a slight curl.

I maintained my smile and improved it even more.

"[{~¦hi, can I sit here with ya? Oh is that you? The guy who ran for the presidency and lost with just a difference of 30 votes?¦~}]"

30 votes may seem large, but considering the population of this school which is 3600, that is absolutely unlucky.

"Yeah, dang it! If only I won, we could've been much more comfortable! Also, did you vote for him?"

"[{~¦yup, I think the majority of my class voted for you….. Oh, that reminds me. Ashura Eversor!¦~}]"

I let out my hand for him to shake. He took my hand and began shaking it.

"Nicolaas Schmidt."

"[{~¦anyways, are you planning to run for the presidency again next year?¦~}]"

"If I don't change my mind in the future, then yes."

"[{~¦Anyways, how can I call you guys? Like what are your names?¦~}]"

His circle of friends then began to name themselves to me. All of them were rich people who had either businesses or aristocratic families.

"[{~¦pleasure to meetcha! Anyway, I am starving. I'll just listen to what you guys will be talking about ~}]"

All of them just nodded with a smile. I opened my lunchbox, and in it were mashed potatoes and a single fried egg.

"Ummm are you eating well?"

One of Nicholaas's friends asked with a worried tone about my food.

"[{~¦It's fine, I like it this way.¦~}]"

"You know, if you ask us for food, we could give you some"

Generous offer, but

"[{~¦I don't like to eat food that does not have potatoes.¦~}]"

I continued eating

After eating, I put away my lunchbox. Oh wait, I forgot to ask Dieb to join us! Well since I forgot, I'll ask him later. And so I asked Nicholaas if perhaps we would like to join us

"[{~¦Nicholaas, I heard you know how to play the drum¦~}]"

"Ah yes, I know how to play them. Why do you ask?"

"[{~¦well, I heard there was a music festival just after our exams. Would you like to join us? We already have 2 members, me and the prince.¦~}]"

He stayed silent and stared at the ceiling

"Nicholaas, you should accept his offer, you might win the next election"

One of his friends that is a girl told him.

"Sure"

"[{~ Let's meet later after class, and maybe some other guy if I succeed in inviting him.¦~}]"

I silently nodded with a smile. I stood up from my seat and told them

"[{~¦I'll be leaving now, let's meet up in the future guys!¦~}]"

"Wait, where will we meet up?"

Yeah, I forgot to tell him where stupid me.

"[{~¦let's see… what about here? On the same table?¦~}]"

"Affirmative."

He said with a sarcastic tone mimicking that of a military personnel. I turned around and left the table.

I quickly went to our classroom and found Dieb still reading his book. I walked towards him and pulled his book down with my finger. My action made his face contract into an annoyed one.

"[{~¦yo, I heard you know how to play the piano. Would you like to join us? We already have 3 members. Me, the prince, and Nicholaas, the guy who ran for the presidency and failed¦~}]"

I put more emphasis on Nicholaas to further entice Dieb. After all, Nicholaas is popular and Dieb would like to have connections.

"Sure, I'll join you."

"[{~¦great! Let's go to the cafeteria after school¦~}]"

"Is this him?"

Nicholaas asked me with curiosity about the guy who I brought with me.

"Thought the prince would be more…. Blonde, well considering the royal family, they must be blondes"

Nicholaas accurately described the prince's appearance.

"[{~¦Ah! No no no no no, this is not the prince but someone who I managed to recruit. Sadly, I forgot to mention that the prince is currently traveling to his home by train. I don't know any more details tho other than he will not be attending school for 2 days.¦~}]"

"I see, then what is your name?"

Nicholaas turned his body towards Dieb.

"Dieb"

Dieb replied in an instant in a monotonous voice.

"Dieb who?"

Nicholaas said with sarcasm, and also to know Dieb's surname. Dieb let out a frustrated sigh and replied.

"Dieb Garcia"

"Nice to meet you. Nicholaas Schmidt"

Nicholaas let out his hand for Dieb to reach. Dieb upon seeing Nicholaas's hand stared at it silently for a couple of seconds until finally he took and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you"

Dieb said with a feint smile. I am a bit proud of him, it is as if the son that I raised has now become a big boy.

"Anyways, now that we have 3, plus 1 if the prince joins us. What are we going to play? "

Nicholaas then voiced out his concerns. He was right, even if we already have a group, if we do not know what we are going to play, that is just like not having a group in the first place.

"[{~¦what about….. a military song? ¦~}]"

"I am fine with that, but why exactly a military song?"

Dieb spoke out with curiosity. He was planning to go to military school after high school, so he is perfectly fine with playing a military song.

"[{~¦just a hunch, I feel like if we play a military song, it might help us with our careers later on¦~}]"

"So, are you going to go to a military school after high school?"

Dieb asked me with a straightforward question

"[{~¦I am planning to¦~}]"

"Woah?! If you don't change your mind, you should go to the Occident Military Academy, if you go there I might be your senior"

"[{~¦affirmative¦~}]"

I said with a sarcastic tone to take revenge on how he said it to me a couple hours ago. Dieb however, who already made up his mind to joining the military remained silent.

"Oh, I forgot…. Here"

Pumpkin handed me a lunchbox filled with fries.

"Sorry, I forgot that I didn't give it to you before."

"[{~¦No worries, it is still edible and tasty even if it has gone cold. Shall we go to the field? I'm going to est it there¦~}]"

She just silently nodded with a feint smile. We stood up simultaneously and began walking towards the field. After we reached the field, I noticed there were many people there playing football.

I felt someone tapping my shoulder, it was Pumpkin and she was pointing it somewhere.

"Let's go sit there"

She walked towards the bench she was previously pointing at, and I followed her on her back. We finally sat down, and I opened the lunchbox and slowly began eating the fries she had prepared for me. After a few seconds of eating my fries all alone, she spoke up.

"Can I have some?"

"[{~¦sure, you can take as many as you want¦~}]"

Her hand then reached out towards the lunchbox and we began eating the fries she prepared for me. We silently watched the football game until the fries were finished. And without any warnings, I teleported us just in front of the gate while already standing.

It was now Friday night, and as I was preparing my bed, a knock suddenly came from my door. I stood up from my bed and walked towards the door. I opened it, and Pumpkin was looking a little red on the face…. Oh no, I shouldn't have opened the door.

She has just recently started her first period…. And it is horrible for me! Her body craves for my cells.

"Geez, I can't ... fight against my body…."

She walked forward and entered my room. I was about to push her out and close the door, but with an abnormal strength, the door cracked. I immediately let go of it and she tackled me to the ground. I felt the back of my head bleed….. fuck

I should've turned to my celestial side or at least reinforced my head. The smell of blood made her body go nuts. She began burying her face into my chest, and she was releasing weird smells. This was completely unknown to me, I should've experimented more about demonlord.

Her scent was intoxicating, I could only resist the lust building up to my body because of me killing my brain at the last moment. She was now lying on top of me, and after waiting for a couple of minutes she was still on top of me, thankfully she had already fallen asleep.

I sat up and carried her to my bed, and just as I was about to sleep on the floor I felt chains tie my wrists. I was then pulled toward Pumpkin's face and she surrounded my body her arms to prevent me from escaping. And just as she was about to bite my neck, I reinforced my neck to prevent her from breaking it.

But still, chains? She just used her own mana! No no no, not using the world's mana, but the mana that she generates.

Of course, I could have easily fought her off, but I enjoyed it. Being around her feels satisfying and it warms my heart. Perhaps this is what having a crush feels like.

But still, this is quite troubling, she just had her first period and it was this bad. I should really teach her about restraining herself
