Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous

10 – #03. Definition of Happiness (1)

A landscape with cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Petals fluttering in the wind were reflected in the moonlight and embroidered the air dazzlingly. Neira laughed lightly at the dancing scene, humming her song.

This is a song he told me in the past.

Remembering that warm memory, the vampire smiled.

“Ah, where is my beloved?”

That meeting changed everything for her.

After Seo met her, he guided her to her new world.

A man who always brings a bouquet of flowers with a smile.

A man who smiled softly when he was flummoxed by something he was unfamiliar with, held his hand, and explained everything one by one.

If you kill a target by sucking human blood out of a natural appetite, he smiled sadly, saying that instead of rebuking it, let’s change it slowly.

“A foolish man.”

Neira liked him like that.

He said it was just fascination and a feeling that shouldn’t be there, but she didn’t want her own feelings to be denied with just one word of her own.

This was love.

It was a tenderness that she had never experienced in her hundreds of years of living, and a warmth that she had never felt in her dull pursuit of her power.

The spring night wind carried petals and tickled her cheeks.

At that time, I was with the person I loved, but now I don’t like sitting here alone and looking up at the moon.

“I love you enough to burn my heart.”

He always brings something with him whenever he visits Neira.

Sometimes snacks that humans often eat, and other times, toys that humans often play with. Sometimes he brought a necklace, and sometimes he gave a ring.

Perhaps he wanted to melt into humans.

Neira smiled as she recalled that fresh memory.

The day everything changed.

He called it a curse, but Neira dared to say it was the biggest turning point and blessing in her life.

A dark world.

She felt this world was like a cramped prison, and she felt like a prisoner inside a cold cage.

A musty smell and a drop of rainwater dripping through the cracks.

There were times when she lamented her own fate, having no choice but to live her eternity in this dry world, under the illusion that her insects were crawling everywhere.

A new color was born in such a world.

Someone said it was a curse, but it was definitely love.

“There is not one form of love, but only that foolish person doesn’t know that.”

There will definitely be a tragedy in that ending, and there will also be a skit, or a happy ending. As the forms of love were different, it was unavoidable that the completion was also divided into several.

There, Neira remembered a story Seo had told her in the past.

Romeo and Juliet.

A tragic story of two people who shouldn’t have met and fell in love, but in the end both of them die.

He told me many other stories, but among many beautiful and charming stories, she really liked the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet.

Because it was like a story between herself and Seo.

Vampires and humans.

Its relationship was that of predator and prey.

Originally, a relationship in which you can’t love each other and shouldn’t even meet. However, they continued to meet, and it felt like a very sweet night’s dream to Neira, who was in the position of a predator.

However, that conclusion cannot be reached.

The ending in which they both die was the one she hoped for and could not achieve.

“Welcome, my love.”

I will sing forever, waiting for you.

She smiled and sang in a soft voice.

A simple love song passed down among humans. I hummed it slowly, hoping that it would scatter in the night wind and reach him.

Lauren was taken aback, and she took a step back.

However, she didn’t even give that gap, and continued pouring sword attacks.

“Kuu, you!! Did you even lose your mind!?”

She already had no cuts on her fingernails.

His thighs and shoulders, as well as his abdomen and chest, were not left without any minor scars, but even so, this man ignored them and continued to run forward.

No, perhaps what this man neglected was his own life.

He didn’t care about the fatal wound, and even if a sharp nail aimed at his neck, he ignored it and continued his offensive with the momentum to get the sword to touch.

The difference between skill is power.

Seo died Even when she woke up, she couldn’t beat Lauren.

Both men in this room knew this, and she probably would have pierced Seo’s neck right away and turned her into a chunk of meat had Lauren made up her mind to finish it.

But his purpose was not to kill this man.

Just keeping them alive and bringing them to the owner.

That’s why I couldn’t inflict a fatal wound, but even if I tried to faint, the man’s attack was threatening as he continued to attack one after another without giving me time to respond by scattering his spells.

Since it is an attack at the risk of life, it cannot be underestimated.

I tried to stun him by grabbing his back at speed, but with just a slight twist, he threw himself right into my arms and continued the attack, so I couldn’t bear to accelerate.

Impact sounds crossing one after another under the moonlit night.

Lauren felt her fingernails tingle that she had been exposed to so much force, but she could not afford the slightest bit of anguish against her warriors, who were risking her life to attack.

“Really, are you thinking of dying!!”

He shouted while receiving a series of attacks.

Instead of answering, Seo held out his sword, and he drew it away again, frowning.

If this continues, it will lead to a pointless war of attrition.

If that happened, of course it would be against the man who was bleeding continuously, but he didn’t want that man to die, so Lauren found this situation frustrating and annoying.

Meanwhile, Seo just swung his sword in a rage.

Even breathing stopped.

I have already decided not to imagine the future.

I just caught up.

Responds to each and every movement of the opponent.

His muscles twisted and he screamed as he forced himself to follow the anomalous response, but he ignored all the danger signals from his body and just moved his legs and arms to continue attack after attack.

Meanwhile, his left thigh was cut again.

Gradually, the sensation disappears.

Let alone the pain, it was around the time when I couldn’t even feel the cut. Feeling the blood that ran down his arm and flowing down to his palm and making his sword hilt slippery, he struck his opponent’s stomach with his foot.

I didn’t know it was Seo.

The opponent’s power is not something he dares to deal with, and judging from the progress of the battle so far, the opponent couldn’t kill him, so he was able to come this far.

If it’s cowardly, it’s cowardly, but if you can’t kill it, you’ve taken advantage of that.

If the opponent can’t pierce his neck, continue the attack by thrusting his head in.

If you can’t remove your limbs, stick your whole body into it.

I didn’t care about the wounds, I kept whipping and forcibly moving my body, which could collapse at any moment, to catch the enemy’s gaps.

All the muscles are already twisted.

My muscles screamed as I followed the movements that the human body could not imitate. I felt the power gradually draining from the sword I actually wielded, but I couldn’t stop it.

“Do you want to die like that!!”

He answered Lauren’s cry with a sword.

The sword falls on the nail that has grown red.

I don’t know how many spells were contained in the weapon Mea handed me, but even after fighting for so long, the pure white light didn’t seem to go out and pressured Lauren.

The higher the level, the more the demons experience the burden on the body just by approaching it.

Of course, he could have overcome it, but if he continued to engage in close combat like this, he couldn’t help but take the damage to his body one by one.

An opponent that can be defeated at any time, but cannot be killed.

Lauren realized for the first time in her nearly 100 years of life that the restriction of not being able to kill could be an annoyance if she met an opponent like this.

If you are a human, isn’t it time to get tired?

However, Seo did not stop even once, even though he had been fighting consecutively by overtaxing his muscles with all his might. Even though his breathing was already disturbed and he was fighting a battle close to cessation.

Right now, he couldn’t even breathe.

I didn’t have time to take care of myself, and even though I felt my face burning hot as I was out of breath, I had a hunch that a little loosening up would lead to defeat.

Conversation is meaningless now.

You can take care of your body after the battle.

All I need now is a physical conversation with a sword.

“…… Great.”

Lauren whispered softly as she countered his attacks one after another.

The man who was just a weak human when I first saw him has grown up to this extent, though I don’t know what he’s been through.

Although he had seen him trained separately in the system, he smiled softly as he recalled that it didn’t feel like this at the time.

I thought it was the owner’s lover.

He just thought of himself as a funny person.

However, such an evaluation is disgraceful to someone who burns everything and takes on the challenge.

So, Loren began to draw out the magic in her body.

“Please don’t die.”

Until now he had only used his physical abilities, but from now on it is different.

He gathered his mana with the idea of concentrating his body’s mana into one point and destroying the entire area.

Seo also sensed something disquieting in his magic, and thinking of Lenny who was still nearby, he bit his teeth hard and raised the tip of his sword to make a final charge.

“Stop.”

A dagger stuck between them.

At this, when Lauren and Seo turned their heads, there was a purple light.

“Stop it now.”

Mea was looking at the two expressionlessly.

Expressionless?

Seo had doubts about that part. That was more like lack of energy than expressionless expression.

Even so, there was no sign of her defeat at all, but considering that she stopped Neira right away, it was a bit of a mystery.

“…… The owner.”

“It’s all over.”

“Is that so?”

At Mea’s words, Lauren lowered her head and reaped her magic.

All over.

I was acutely aware of the meaning of the word.

“What are you talking about?”

There is just one person who doesn’t know what it means.

Seo raised his head at those words and looked at Meah.

“…… Go.”

She pointed in one direction rather than answering the question.

Silently, but somehow sad. Still, for some reason, I felt a hint of annoyance. She looked at Seo with a complicated expression and bit her teeth.

“Go ahead. There will be someone waiting for you there.”

“What is that…….”

“Go away. I want you to go and watch.”

Hearing Mea’s words, Seo looked back at Lenny for a while, but when she saw the girl who was fortunately safe in the aftermath of the battle, she turned her head and looked at Mea.

She closed her eyes and nodded her head.

Lauren didn’t react at all, just hung her head.

I have a feeling that something is not right.

He moved her steps slowly with the thought.
