Chapter 126: Side Story: End Baron has no regrets
“How does it feel, being a vampire?” “Huh? That was quite abrupt…”
Moving my body is fun. Vampires don’t gain muscles through muscle training and they don’t get tired even when they move around, but maybe it’s because of the experience from my previous life that I can’t calm down unless I’m moving. Today, when I was doing my daily routine of handstand push-ups as usual to confirm the joy of my body moving without pain, Senri, who was sitting in a chair and observing me, suddenly asked me something like that.
I bounced up into the air strongly with the power of my arms, spun around and landed.
It’s rare for Senri to ask me something like that. She’s always careful to try to make me forget that I’m an undead as much as possible.
I don’t mind it at all, but — even though it’s been quite a while since we started traveling together, for Senri, becoming an undead is still a tragedy. Still, it’s hard to describe how it feels. If I was asked the same when I was a human, I would most likely have also felt troubled back then too. As I frowned and groaned earnestly, I answered timidly.
“Hmm… if I had to say it… it feels like I’m moving even though I’m a corpse.”
“… I see.”
I’m strong, I’m not in pain, I get thirsty, but I don’t get very hungry and I don’t need to go to the toilet either. I have several deadly weaknesses, I have to hide from humans and I keep getting attacked by wild vampire hunters, wild Order of Death Knight and wild Demon Kings, but overall – I feel incomparably better compared to my previous life. And Senri also provides me with blood.
As I blinked in confusion out of the old habit, Senri eventually replied with a heavy voice.
