Girls x Vampire ch31: Ruruna-sama is Desperately Making Excuses For Some Reason. Why!?

Well then,
see you at school.

How's that?

Now it should be abundantly clear that I'm doing abundantly well
at getting along with humans, right?
Indeed. I did not expect you'd be doing so well.

I know, right? I know, right?

I guess we can end today's outing here, Ruruna-san.
There's no issues with your living habits
and I understand very well that you're an exemplary vampire.
Howzat... Howzat...
Fufu
I know, right!?

Please continue to live a quiet life.
You needn't ask!
I am the great queen of the night...

who adores all of humanity!
Splendid. Full marks.

Aah...

My own geniusness scares me sometimes...
I'm far too good an enslaving kin.

Not even the vampire hunter can see through me.
She's no threat to me anymore!
I truly am the ruler of all living things.
Hahaha
Um, Ruruna-san.
...Oh.

The stupid little girl who completely fell for it seems to be saying something.
What is it, Leda?
Well... this might be none of my business, but...

shouldn't you have gone after her?

??
Wakana-san, who was here a moment ago.

What is this girl saying?

...I don't really get it, but I may as well play along!
I see. Thanks for your concern.
Not at all.
I'm the one who should apologise.

I seem to have given her the wrong impression.
???

The wrong impression...? I have no idea what she's talking about,
but I'll look smarter if I act like I do!
Don't worry about it.
Well then, see you again.
Yes. Take care.

...
To think a vampire could slip into human society so well...
She truly is amazing...

In which case, I should also...

I had no idea where Wakana went,
so I called her to the park near her house.
I didn't think anything of it earlier,
but now that I think about it, I should've at least given her a word of thanks.

Sure, it was my own greatness that got me out of that mess,
but Wakana did help out a little.

Wakana~

Wakana!?
Ah... Ruruna-sama.

Eh? Hey, what's wrong?
S-Sorry. I'm just feeling a little restless...

Hah
Could it be
she got involved with some weirdo after we parted ways...!?

Erm, erm, what to do...
I did not mean to pry into your personal affairs, Master...

...Hm?

I mean... it should be obvious...
that there'd be someone Master is close with.
I wonder why that never crossed my mind before...
...Hm!?

Are you talking about Leda!?
Leda-san... was really pretty...

Hold on, Wakana!
You're making a huge misunderstanding!

Not that! That woman is...!

...It appears she has the wrong idea about the relationship between me and Leda...

But why is she crying about it!?

I don't get it...

Wakana is the first human I made into my kin,
which means I've been with her the longest,

and yet I still don't have the slightest idea what she's thinking!

And why
do I feel so guilty about it? It's a total mystery!
Erm, erm...!

p10

That woman
is a vampire hunter!!

...Eh?

She showed up at my house out of nowhere claiming that's she in charge of this area! She's a fiendish woman who prattles on about social norms and stuff and will slaughter anyone who defies her! I mean, I'm not scared of her or anything, but there's no need to go out of my way to antagonise her, right!? So I gotta keep up appearances, not to mention that making kin is forbidden so things might get a teensy bit messy if she were to find out about our relationship! That's why I was acting that way earlier!

...Master.
Yes?

p11

So that's... what that was.
Thank goodness...

THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT!!

p12

She's a vampire hunter!
Vam! Pire! Hun! Ter!!
Think about it! Would a human go shopping with a human hunter!?
Or relax at a cafe with them!? Of course not!
I-I guess so...!

Honestly!!
It's a good thing I managed to deceive her!
Otherwise I'd be like a puddle of ketchup right about now!
Not that I wouldn't
be able to turn the tables on her if she did attack me or anything, y'hear!?
Th-That's my Ruruna-sama!

Urgh!!
I'm so tried!

Ah...
Ah...
What is it this time...?

p13

I-I'm sorry
for being so very rude towards you, Master...!
True that.

I just thought...
You thought?

Come to think of it, what exactly was your misunderstanding?
Th-That's...

It's nothing!
But you're crying...

p14

This is just from remembering a pet dog I used to own and nothing else!
R-Really...?
Yes!

...

A-At any rate, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.
It's fine, really...

It's thanks to you that I managed to fool Reda...
B-

But still,
to think vampire hunters really exist!
Yes... She was quite despicable.

p15

But thanks to my fine work, she shouldn't bother us for a while!
It's all thanks to my great power!
There's no way a human can win against a vampire, after all!
That's my Master!
Yes.
That's what I thought.
That is indeed what I thought.

It's nice to meet you.

p16

My name is
Leda Fairchild.

Leda Fairchild

I hope to get along
with all of you.
