Chapter 60.2, The Attack Part I
This is unfair. This is really below the belt. I lay dispirited on Katerina’s lap.
The scent of Senri’s blood is the best but Katerina also gave off a very delicious scent. It goes without saying that I cannot indulge in my cravings, but the simple act of laying on her lap felt tantalizing. Had I been just any other vampire, then the girl would have found herself devoid of all the blood in her body.
As she gently caressed my white fur which I took pride in, I set my eyes on our surroundings, watching every movement.
I can sense what people feel from their scent. The camp was enshrouded in a bit of fear and relief.
The ones who could not fight were all gathered around the bonfire. The mercenaries spread out, forming a circle around the group, guarding them. Most of the mages were out to fight alongside Senri, but one had remained in the camp. Every precaution had been taken.
That said, we would still find ourselves in trouble if the enemy were stronger than me, but there does not exist a lot of monsters stronger than vampires, so there is no point in worrying. If it ever comes to that, we have no choice but to accept death.
There were a lot of little boys and girls gathered around me and they took turns stroking my head. They were all kids I had grown close to in my time travelling with the group.
I almost never had a chance to be the center of attention of so many people even in my past life, so this was certainly a new experience.
The kids were not their usual self and appeared a little nervous.
