Chapter 661 ( Goodbye Erisen - III )
"Cloud... Can we talk?" - Yue asked after returning, though everyone could tell she wasn't in the best emotional state.
Cloud nodded as he motioned for her to follow him.
The girls were a bit worried because they could see that the girl had been crying until recently, which was strange because nothing should have happened during this short time.
"Maybe we should go with them?" - Shea asked with concern.
"No, let them talk to themselves" - Tio said with a frown - "What Yue-dono is self-conscious about is something much harder to deal with than I thought, so we'd better let Cloud take care of everything."
The girls nodded with frowns.

The two blondes reached the most secluded room in Remia's house, and sat down on the bed.
Yue was on the verge of collapse because she could feel her soul escaping her body the closer they got to the room.
"Ok, I think this is a good place to talk" - Cloud said, though he was surprised to feel Yue's lips on his as the girl's tears - "Yue..."
"Cloud... You know I love you, don't you?" - Yue asked with a broken tone.
"Of course" - Cloud replied with a smile as he hugged the girl.
Yue trembled slightly as she gazed with her bright red eyes at her husband's neck. She swallowed saliva as she felt him slowly move his fangs slowly to the blond's neck.
"Yue?" - Cloud asked as he noticed the girl's action.
Yue froze when she heard the blond's voice as she felt tears begin to run down her cheeks once again - "I'm sorry... really, I'm sorry..."
Cloud frowned as he asked her what was wrong.
Yue let out a heavy sigh as she told him everything that had been happening to her for the past few days.
The blond boy's expression changed slightly, though after Yue's account, he understood what was going on - "I see, I should have noticed earlier about this, I had noticed the change in your actions since you drank my blood."
Yue ducked her head as she felt her heart freeze, after all, she was sure Cloud would abandon her now that he knew she was a constant danger against him, though to her surprise, the words that followed were not what she expected.
"Why didn't you tell me before that you wanted to drink my blood?" - Cloud asked with a frown - "I'm sure your current state is a symptom of withdrawal."
"Withdrawal?" - Yue repeated in surprise.
"I'm not a doctor, not a specialist either, but such seems to be the case" - Cloud replied while frowning - "Maybe my blood was so intoxicating that your body now can't live without it, and now that you're trying to force yourself not to consume it, you're unconsciously going insane"
". . ." - Yue was silent as she digested Cloud's words because they made sense, even though it was a bit annoying to be treated as crazy - "So, you're saying I'll go back to normal if I consume your blood again?"
She could feel her heart pounding as she said these words while slowly licking her lips.
"It's a possibility" - Cloud replied as he watched Yue's eyes glisten slightly - "Although we still have to find a way to solve your symptoms, I mean, we can't have you every day sucking my blood, so we'd better find a replacement."
Yue seemed not to be listening to Cloud's words, she could only think of one thing.
Cloud tried to say something else, when he felt Yue's sharp fangs piercing his neck.
Yue had an expression of absolute ecstasy as she slowly consumed the blood she had been waiting for so long - "Delicious, all this mana is intoxicating ~"
The girl was so deep in her fantasies, that she didn't notice the change in Cloud's expression, who seeing that the girl seemed not to be listening to his words, could only do one thing, he quickly gave her a firm smack on the head, in the process making the vampire girl break away from his neck.
"Ouch!" - Yue exclaimed with tears in her eyes, though thanks to that blow she quickly regained her sanity - "What happened?"
"You don't remember anything?" - Cloud asked with a frown because the vampire girl's condition was worse than he thought.
"N-No" - Yue replied with a frown - "I only remember that we entered the room and started talking..."
Cloud's expression darkened as he thought it was a better idea for them to talk about this with Tio, she had the most experience with this kind of thing thanks to having lived in this world for so many years.
"Did I do something weird?" - Yue asked with concern.
"No, it was nothing" - Cloud answered calmly as he calmed the girl down.
"Good thing..." - Yue muttered as she let out a sigh - "So, are we okay?"
"Why shouldn't we be?" - Cloud asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Ok" - nodded Yue with a smile that quickly disappeared - "I'm going to go get things ready for our departure."
Cloud nodded calmly as he watched the vampire girl walk away. He quickly went back to where the others were and told them to get things ready to resume their journey, as well as telling Remia and Myu to pack their luggage because this was going to be a long trip.
Remia nodded with a smile while Myu shouted happily in celebration.
Cloud shook his head before calling Tio because he had something to talk to her about.
* * * * *
"I see, this is a bit worrisome," Tio muttered as she frowned.
"Do you have any idea what could be the cause?" - Cloud asked with a frown.
"Well, it's possible that I know what's going on, though I'm not sure yet" - Tio replied as she started to think - "In my clan there is an ancient legend about the fallen ones."
"Fallen?" - Cloud repeated as he raised an eyebrow.
"You see, among all the races that were blessed by draconic blood, there existed people who betrayed the people who had given them the strength to rise before the other races" - said Tio as she felt a deep disgust inside - "These people managed to slay a dragon after a battle that eliminated almost the entire group. The survivors fed on the flesh and blood of this dragon, and that's how the first Fallen, or better known as the [Dragon Eaters], were born."
Cloud quickly understood what the dragon girl was trying to say - "You say Yue is a [Dragon Devourer]?"
"It's a possibility, after all, there's not much difference between a person of draconic blood and a [Dragon Devourer], except that they seem to wish to consume their creators" - Tio replied while frowning - "It's strange though"
"What's strange?" - Cloud asked curiously.
"A [Dragon Devourer] should have attacked me a long time ago" - Tio replied while raising an eyebrow - "My clan's blood is basically pure, that's why we are part of the royalty among the [Dragon Men]."
"Maybe she wasn't a [Dragon Devourer]?" - Cloud muttered as he recalled the event that triggered this whole situation - "She awakened that quality when she drank my blood."
"Oh, I hadn't thought of that" - muttered Tio as she nodded - "Though at the same time it's a bit strange"
Cloud frowned because every word Tio said, confused him a little more because his hypothesis should be right.
"I mean if that was a factor, then there would be hundreds of [Dragon Devourers] in the vampire race, after all, the Blood Dragon had had been having being of close servants that consumed your blood" - Tio replied while tilting he head - "That leaves me with only one possible answer, and that is that one of Yue-san's descendants, was a [Dragon Devourer], it's because that factor was dormant in her DNA and managed to wake up after she consumed your blood."
Cloud decided not to think about the topic anymore because he knew he wouldn't manage to get the right answer to all the questions he had.
"We'd better get everything ready to leave, and remember, don't tell anyone about what we talked about" - Cloud said seriously. He didn't want to worry the other girls, nor did he want to make Yue feel bad.
"My lips are sealed" - Tio replied as she nodded calmly.
* * * * *
The next morning, Cloud and the others were ready to be able to leave Erisen. He had managed to modify his vehicle to not only accommodate more people, but also to be able to move on water.
The group was in the middle of the sea between Erisen and the coast, when they saw a figure approaching them.
"Oh, it's a pleasure to see you again" - said the fish with a human face.
"Riman-san?" - Cloud said with surprise at seeing a family face, joke not intended - "I see you made it to the sea."
"Yes, I finally managed to reunite with my wife and children" - smiled Riman happily.
"You're married!" - exclaimed the girls, well, all except Remia and Myu
