Became a Teacher at Monster Academy

29 – 4. Monbung meets students (17)

Fortunately, Ruminas seemed to be satisfied before the Bloody Monberry tea I brought ran out.

Of course, the teapot I had filled and the three sandwiches I had packed were all gone.

Well, how about it?

It was as if it had been sucked instead of my blood, and seeing how effective it was in filling the stomach of Ruminas, a ‘glutton’, with just a few drops, a good thing was a good thing.

Originally, if you were to be ‘sucked’ by evil, even the ‘teacher’, who is in full condition, would be in the worst condition at once, and if you were to be sucked in successively, it would be an ugly event with a certain probability of death.

…Of course, the supplies are relatively cheap, like Monberry, so it’s an event you don’t necessarily watch unless you want to see the ending where you die from being sucked into blood.

anyway.

“Yeah, huh…”

Ruminas, who had an expression on his face like a hungry cat, groping his empty teacup with his fingers and sighing, soon looked at me and said.

“…Thank you, sir, for treating me so well. “It’s the first time I’ve ever tasted something this delicious… in my entire life.”

I flinched at Ruminas’ words and spoke with a straight face.

“I don’t think it would be that bad.”

Say no.

However, Ruminas shook his head and said, as if to cruelly deny my feelings.

“No, really. “I liked this blood you prepared better than any blood I drank in my family.”

Ruminas muttered that as if he was truly regretful, then let out a faint sigh and looked regretfully at the empty glass.

…It seemed like he really liked it a lot.

“…Really, was it better than blood? Aren’t you a vampire? That too…”

“hehehehe, I guess you know. Yes, I am a vampire carrying on the lineage of the true ancestors… To be honest… I never even thought that in the human world, there would be something that would fit my taste. Truly, it is sweeter than blood… I never thought there would be something so… ‘palatable’…♡”

Looking at the hazy look in his eyes, he seemed to be recalling the taste of the sandwich and tea he had enjoyed a while ago… So, sometimes, I saw Ruminas making an expression that he only made when enjoying alone the cake that Cardia had bought for herself.

however.

I have that kind of Luminas face.

The face of Ruminas, who was making an ecstatic expression with her cheeks cupped as if she was happy, was just terrifying.

That’s right…

It was natural to say that ‘My Blood’ was something Ruminas liked very much.

no.

do not do that.

Isn’t this the first time you’ve talked to me?

Why are you doing that? Seriously.

“Can I ask one thing? teacher?”

“…to ask.”

I think I know what you’re trying to ask.

For now, he pretended not to know anything, and when he answered like that, he looked at me and licked his lips… Ruminas opened his lips, which had turned slightly red, probably due to ingesting blood.

“By any chance, was this… a dish containing your… blood?”

Don’t open your eyes like that.

It’s scary, isn’t it?

Just in case, I prepared to activate the magic armor.

…the ‘vampirism impulse’ that all vampires have

That was because it was an event consisting of several stages.

The first stage was literally an impulse that would subside once the ‘appetite’ was satisfied.

It was a minor impulse that made me sink when my stomach was full.

However… if the target is above a certain level of ‘likeability’, the story is different.

As a monster of appetite = s*xual desire, one of the characteristics of a vampire is the urge to suck blood as a ‘desire to reproduce’.

Since I have absolutely no desire to become one of the blood-sucking relatives of mosquitoes, I opened my mouth with the intention of cutting Ruminas down if he attacked me.

“…It’s an ordinary sandwich made with jam made from monberries, which grow in the human world, and processed using the family’s special method. “It’s the same with cars.”

“Monberry…”

Ruminas, who had been mumbling at my words, said with a smile, “hehehehe.”

“thank you. Thanks to you, I learned something good. Indeed, even in the human world, we are vampires… It seems there is something that suits us as well. …Not blood, but something else.”

No, that’s blood.

To be exact, it was made by mixing monberries with my blood.

Of course, I didn’t mean to say that.

If they found out that one of the ingredients was my blood, they would definitely want to taste the raw ingredient too.

“Monberry, monberry… Is it perhaps a rare food in the human world?”

“…It’s not that rare. It is a fruit that grows everywhere. But, as I said, it has to go through special processing to get that taste… Even if you get monberry and copy it, there is no guarantee that you will get the same result.”

“…is that so. “That’s unfortunate.”

…First of all, it looks like the urge to suck blood stopped at stage 1.

I was scared because I couldn’t tell if it was because I was lucky or because I lacked ‘likeability’, which is another condition for going to step 2.

According to the setting, it seems that the blood of a person a vampire likes is more ‘tasty’…

…Seeing Ruminas so satisfied with just a few drops of blood, it was clear that Ruminas at least liked ‘my blood’.

In other words, it meant that Ruminas had a certain level of interest in me.

But… the problem was that I couldn’t tell how much it was.

If it were a game, if you open the status window, you would see a rough estimate of your favorability rating, but now it was reality.

There is no such convenient function, so you have to look at the general reaction to find out…

“…Why do you look at me like that, sir? “Whatever you want to say to me.”

“No, it’s nothing.”

The problem is that, unlike other characters, this Ruminas is a character whose reactions are almost similar on the surface.

Because he is a character whose inner feelings are revealed in separate text, it was fun to see the gap between the outside and the inside, but since the reality is that there is no such thing, I was very scared because I had no idea what he was thinking.

It’s not like there’s no way to find out roughly how likable it is, but…

The situation was such that it was impossible to even ‘get involved’ in order to find out.

What should I do if I try to stab it for no reason and it gets stuck so deeply that my nose gets pierced?

No involvement is the best.

In that sense, I looked out the window and quietly said something.

“…It’s late. Shouldn’t we go back soon?”

“…Huh, it was like that. The night was our time. “I forgot it was the opposite in Human World.”

I saw Ruminas glance at the empty teacup as if regretful, and then say, “Ugh,” stroking her lips with her finger.

and then…

“But, teacher?”

“…Why do you do that?”

“Now that I think about it, I don’t think I heard the answer to the question I asked earlier. …After all, since things have come to this, should I become your bride?”

…ah.

When I belatedly tried to come up with an excuse that I hadn’t thought of in order to put out the urgent fire.

Ruminas giggled and stood up.

“…hehehehe, just kidding.”

Slurp, slurp.

Like a shadow, a magical parasol was seen sticking out of her grasp and widening.

“After all, this was a ‘mistake’. Two people…an inevitable mistake. Even in the human world, things like this… won’t decide on important things like a lifelong spouse. Isn’t that right, sir?”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

“hehehehe, it’s a little disappointing, but… Well, I think it would be better to leave this one like that.”

What’s wrong with being a little disappointed?

While I was thinking that, Ruminas, who was looking down at me with bright red eyes, smiled and said.

“Okay then, teacher. See you next time.”

Next time, what do you mean, next time?

That’s what I want to ask.

I couldn’t ask Ruminas, who was looking at me with a bright smile and shining red eyes, because I was afraid of what the answer would be.

“…I’ll see you off to the door.”

“Oh my, thank you.”

Ruminas smiled brightly and said that.

“Did he go…”

Perhaps because the sun had not yet set, I unfolded my parasol to block the sun’s rays, saw Ruminas off as he flew in the direction of the dormitory, and closed the road.

“Whoa.”

And then he sat down like that.

I feel like I’m running out of energy.

I was really tired.

“…Let’s skip the washing up.”

There’s no way that’s possible.

I was also afraid that if I opened the bathroom door, something would jump out.

You won’t have to wash it for a day.

To begin with, it was the water Ruminas had washed in just a moment ago.

I didn’t want to change the water, boil it, and do other things because it was a hassle.

“Just in case… it would be a good idea to stock up on more monberries. No, I should just plant it in the garden…”

If Ruminas said “next time” means that he will come again next time.

Even then, it was clear that they would need food instead of my blood.

First of all, I wasn’t sure how likable it was.

It seems that Ruminas was satisfied with the makeshift Bloody Monberry Sandwich or Bloody Monberry Tea, which contained only a few drops of ‘my blood’ in his mouth.

It was clear that this figure was quite high.

It was clear that the ‘vampirism urge’ was that strong, and there was even a possibility that he had just been lucky and had not advanced to the second stage.

…In other words, if you are not prepared enough, there is a high possibility that they will try to get my blood at any time.

Rather than hastily preparing like today, it might have been better to prepare it in advance.

.

Moreover, monberries were useful in many ways other than just processing them into bloody monberries and using them.

It was a crop that could be used in many ways if grown with different fertilizers.

In some cases, it can also be used for Kyra’s ‘heat attack’.

“…put that aside for now.”

First, I decided to sleep or take a nap.

Before suddenly lying down on the bed.

After thinking for a moment, I held the dagger in my arms.

“…It would be important to prepare for just such an emergency.”

I hope it won’t happen, but it might happen.

Moreover, since the opponent was the opponent, I had to be even more careful.

First of all, I knew about the other person’s settings and other things… but I couldn’t figure out what it was doing to the ‘teacher’ because I just skipped over it.

The general consensus was that it was just a character thing, no matter how you look at it, it was just doing that job.

Now it has become a reality.

No one knew what would happen.

I don’t know if I should call this fortunate, but since this wasn’t my first time encountering that ‘tribe’, I knew how to deal with it.

“…after.”

Although I had made a preparation, I sincerely hoped that I would never have to use this preparation.

Well then, I was the one in trouble in many ways.

In addition to Kyra, who would come in at night when she was in heat, she would probably come in every night… It was clear that my condition would be at its worst.

so…

“Please no.”

I went to sleep holding the dagger in my arms, hoping so firmly.
