Vampire Model and Pretty Girl 1

A question for Ruru-san, the super model who's been active all across the world.
What is the secret to your beauty?
Eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of sleep.

That's a lie.

The biggest secret is the blood of a pretty girl.

Ufufu

I've drunken the blood of plenty of girls up until now, Hinako-chan, but yours is the most effective!
Thanks.

Thank you for everything. I love you.

Yeah, yeah.
How cold! You should love me more too!
I mustn't get the wrong idea. This vampire only wants me for my blood.

You sure are fully equipped. It's putting your beauty to waste.
Bad things happen if I don't wear all this when I go outside.

I tend to attract a lot of attention...
Just from walking around with my bare face,
the number of traffic accidents, stalkers and women bearing grudges increases.

Must be tough being so cute.
Hah.

Then I'll just need to suck up more of your beauty.

Yeah, sure.
Ufufu. It's win-win for us!

Hey, tell me if anything happens.
I'll be sure to protect you.

This vampire only wants to protect my blood.

But...
Thank you.

When in public, I wear glasses and a mask to hide my face
and clothes that hide any bite marks.
At home, I put my hair in a ponytail and wear clothes that show my neck
to make it easier for Ruru-san to suck my blood.

Wearing clothes like that... You're trying to seduce me, aren't you?
It's just a pain to take off my clothes.
I can just do that for you.

Aah... What a beautiful nape.
You're so defenseless, it's giving me chills.

Don't show that to anyone but me!
I won't. It'll result in corpses.
Ufufu. Exactly.

What an adorable child.
Apparently, I was kidnapped when I was a baby.

My mom and dad got into an accident while chasing the culprit.
I became alone and was sent to live my relatives.
There, my uncle was especially affectionate towards me,
leading my aunt and cousin to neglect me pretty harshly.

After I ran away and started to live on my own,
the manager at my part-time job became a stalker.
Calm down, mister.

What the- I can't move...!
Shh...
It was then that Ruru-san saved me.

Uuh...

He's dead...
No, just passed out.

Urgh...

I'm gonna barf... Ugh...
Are you okay?
Uweegh...

Ruru-san couldn't stand watching me live in a cheap apartment with lousy security,
and forcefully moved me into her own apartment building.

Hinako-chan...

This is the first place where I've ever felt safe.

What's my expiration date?

Expiration date?
You prefer the blood of young girls, right?
Well, it is tastiest when they're around 16.

Then I guess I'll have to find a part-time job so I can move out next year.

I said "around"!
So 18 then?
I dunno!

I'll need to make a lot of preparations, so let me know sooner rather than later.
You're so indifferent!

I mean, this is how are relationship is, right?
Urk...
That's true, but...

I won't harbor any feelings.
It'll just end in pain.

So don't harbor any for me eith-...
No.

I'm falling for you.
Blood is even tastier when it's sucked while feeling love.

In that case, I'm leaving.
No, no, no! Stay with me!
Wah~
Hah...

Vampire Model and Pretty Girl 2

Pretty, isn't she?
! ...Right.

Geez, the real one is right here. Won't you look this way?
NG...

N-No, I was talking about a different model.
Wha-

Uuh... Uuh...
I didn't think she's be that downhearted...

...Sorry, I lied out of embarrassment.
Eh!?

Really? You mean it?
So you really were looking at me? You were just embarrassed?
...I guess.

Apologise properly.
Huh?
Look me in the eye and tell me I'm pretty!

...You're pretty.
Again.
You're pretty. How many times do I have to do this?
Until I'm satisfied!

You're as cute as ever today, Hinako-chan. I love you.
Yeah, yeah.

Of all the pretty girls I've contracted with until now,
you're the first who's been this salty towards me.
Do you not like that?

I think you're a funny girl.
I ended up attracting her interest instead...

You really do look similar.

To what?

Maybe you're the reincarnation of a girl I once contracted with long ago.
Hey, do you have any memories from before you were born?
I don't.

I see. Figured as much.
So it's just my face that looks similar?
Yeah, the face.

The first time I saw you, Hinako-chan, I thought that girl had come back to life.

I was really happy.

Well excuse me for not being her.
Ah! You've got it all wrong! You're great because you're you, Hinako-chan!

...You must've really liked her, huh.

I liked everyone, but...
I need to apologise to that girl.
Did something happen with her?

I killed her.
Eh?

Long ago, there was a vampire hunt
and she got killed protecting me.

...So it wasn't you... who killed her.
It may as well have been.

We're now living in a good age where people don't even believe vampires exist,
but no matter what happens, Hinako-chan, don't protect me.

Okay.
It's a bit harsh how quickly you responded!

But that's fine.

I don't want to see another precious girl die in front of me.

...Ruru-san
loves me in a special way because I look like this girl.
It's hot.
You feel hot? Is your heart pounding?
Not what I meant.

Aren't you gonna drink my blood, Ruru-san?

I'm good for today. More importantly, you should warm yourself up and get some rest.
There's cake in the fridge, so feel free to eat that.

Ruru-sama hasn't bitten me these past few days.
She hasn't asked for blood either.

Ah...

I see.
She's found a new girl.

Like I told you before, if you're gonna fire me, let me know in advance.
Fire you?

I told you. I need to find a new house and part-time job.
What are you talking about!?

I mean, it's strange isn't it? You won't bite me. You're barely getting involved at all.

That's...
because you need to rest your body, Hinako-chan.
?

It's because your blood stinks.

I'm sorry that it stinks!
No, no, no! Only vampires can tell! Humans would never know!
You smell great, Hinako-chan!

...So that's why you were acting that way.
You'd be annoyed if I got too clingy, right?

But you could've at least said something.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
I wasn't worried or anything...

I'll have some cake.
I'll put on some cocoa!
