I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Hmm... um..."

After slowly waking up from her coma, Istina was still a little dazed.

"What was I just?"

Remembering her own loss of composure before she fell into coma, her pretty face instantly turned red.

Istina was about to raise her hands to cover her face, but she noticed the comfortable feeling coming from the back of her head, and Eve's voice happened to come from above the pride that partially blocked her vision.

"Ah, are you awake? How do you feel? Do you want to rest for a while?"

In an instant, Istina completed everything that had just happened in her mind.

After realizing that she was enjoying Eve's lap pillow at this moment, Istina's brain, which had just been disconnected and reconnected, short-circuited again.

Istina, who was in a daze, suddenly raised her head and wanted to sit up, but she forgot that the breasts of the Iv Dragon Clan had grown a lot under her body and were blocking her head.

So with this sudden collision, the defenseless Eve was knocked to the ground on her back, and Istina was pulled into her arms. And so - the facial cleanser came again, but the roles were reversed.

Fortunately, Eve did not turn back into a vampire body, otherwise she would have had a tablet as a brain pad.

"Uh...uh!"

At this time, Istina's eyes had turned into a pair of mosquito coils after encountering the unexpected facial cleanser, and she was completely confused about the situation.

Eve smiled helplessly, then helped up the dizzy Istina, used magic to create a piece of ice, and placed it on her forehead.

"Alas!"

With a shiver from the ice all over her body, Istina's overheated mind finally calmed down.

"... Phew, sorry, brave hero, I just lost my composure."

"Hmm? Ah, it's okay. Just say thank you for the treat."

But when she heard Eve's teasing, the blush that had just begun to fade away in Istina's face surged up again.

But she still pretended to be calm, coughed lightly and asked.

"My dear hero, was that the ceremony for the followers?"

Seeing that she wanted to change the subject, Eve stopped teasing her and spoke seriously.

"It's kind of a prelude, mainly to allow your body to gradually adapt to my strength and bloodline. Now you should be able to sense me through your bloodline, right?"

After hearing her words, Istina closed her eyes slightly, and then successfully sensed Eve's presence through the blood connection.

"Ah."

"That's fine. For the next while, I'll find opportunities to spend more time with you in the Dragon state, allowing you to adapt to the Dragon's power until we can officially perform the ritual. Ultimately, how much power you can accept will depend on your aptitude."

"Yes, I understand. By the way, my hero, what kind of abilities will I possess after becoming your servant? I wonder if they will be healing abilities again."

Istina was also aware of the immortality of the vampires. If she awakened healing abilities after becoming a vampire's follower, she would still be unable to help her brave master.

As if she could see her worry, Eve explained considerately.

"Since my dragon-like power is of the type that seeks ultimate destruction, the power you gain after becoming a follower will definitely be offensive. However, the specific form of expression will depend on your aptitude, and..."

Eve paused slightly and kept the question in suspense.

"and?"

"Also, although this is just speculation, after becoming my follower, you will most likely be able to contract a weapon spirit through the Awakening Ceremony. After all, I have two bloodlines, each corresponding to a spirit."

"Eh?! Really, Master Brave!"

Hearing Eve's words, Istina was extremely excited, with anticipation written all over her face.

"If there are no problems, then there's no problem. You can look forward to it."

Although Istina rarely showed it, Eve had noticed before that she actually wanted to have her own weapon elf.

After all, this is one of the dreams of many people since childhood.

The fighting methods on this continent are divided into two categories: swordsmen who awaken weapon spirits and mages who possess magical talents.

Swordsmen build their combat styles and hone their combat skills around their weapon spirits, while mages learn magic based on their own aptitudes and recite complicated spells. Generally speaking, each side has its own strengths.

Although some people will awaken weapon spirits while having high magic aptitude, they often give up halfway or do not master the awakening due to distraction of energy.

But having said that, the group currently standing at the top of the continent are all those who practice both magic and martial arts.

Take Elizabeth, the Queen of the Blood Clan, for example. Not only does she have profound attainments in magic, but she can also easily control the enemy's magic to lock on to a single person and concentrate fire. In weapon warfare, she can also wield the scythe transformed by Martina and transform into the god of death on the battlefield, ruthlessly harvesting enemies.

Thanks to her vampire physique and the sword skills memory from her brave days, Eve is now one of the top fighters on the continent.

"Okay, we're ready. Let's go out and get ready for departure. Oh, and by the way, can you let the children from the monastery sleep together? I'm a little worried that they might do something at night."

"It's no problem. Those kids usually sleep in the same room."

"That's good."

Eve raised her hand and dispersed the demiplane, and the two returned to Istina's room.

"Um……"

Looking at Istina's simple room, Eve suddenly started to think.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange in my room?"

Seeing this, Istina asked a little uneasy.

"Hmm? Ah, nothing much. I was just thinking that I should get a demiplane for living. It would be a lot more convenient if I had a demiplane like that just now."

A highly skilled magician can create a relatively stable demiplane as a portable residence, but Eve had never prepared anything because she thought it would not be used.

"Fang, it's much more convenient?"

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it seriously. Istina instantly thought of what had just happened at the family ceremony, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Yeah, I didn't have to look at the empty demiplane for so long. Oh, what was Tina thinking about?"

Noticing the blush on Istina's face, Eve teased.

"No, no, no, nothing!"

"Huhu, I'll eat you after I've resolved the remaining issues with the human race and returned to the vampire clan. After all, the first time should have some sense of ritual. Look forward to it."

"……Um."

After hearing what Eve said, Istina's pretty face turned red. After a long while, her barely audible response finally came out from her lips.

Seeing this, Eve didn't continue teasing Istina. After all, if she teased her a few more times, she would probably crash again.

"Okay, let's pack up our things first. If those people don't cause any trouble, we'll leave for the Holy Kingdom as soon as possible after they leave."

"What if they make a move?"

"Crush him to death, and then depart for the Holy Kingdom as soon as possible."

"Um... Mr. Brave, have you become more violent, um... straightforward?"

Listening to Eve's plan, which was almost the same as having no plan at all, Istina carefully considered her words and asked silently.

"Huh? Is there any?"

Unfortunately, I have no awareness of this at all.

I wrote until noon and forgot to update. I covered my face.

§ 47 Storm is coming

"Tina, is there anything you need to bring? I can help you."

After finishing their business in the demiplane, the two returned to Istina's room and began to prepare for their trip to the Holy Kingdom.

"Hmm...it seems there's nothing to bring. When I was sent here, my family only allowed me to bring some clothes. The rest of the items were basically collected and placed in the exhibition hall of the brave master."

After a moment's thought, Istina replied.

"Hmm? Exhibition Hall, what's that? Why were your belongings taken in?"

Eve was confused after hearing her words.

"Eh? Don't you know, Brave Master? After you were declared dead, your family built an exhibition hall centered around your former residence and charged visitors a fee. The items I have were taken away from them at that time and used as exhibits. I understand that quite a few people visited."

“…Shh, it feels so bad knowing that my house is visited by countless people every day.”

After listening to Istina's description, Eve couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling. At the same time, she silently decided to go and visit the family in person before dealing with it, to see what kind of "artistic processing" she had become.

However, this exhibition hall will definitely be demolished. It feels really weird to be commemorated while I am still alive.

"Ah, it's time to put the children to bed. Are you going to keep an eye on them tonight, Mr. Brave?"

"Leave the children to Viya and Arcana. I'll stay with you and provide a lap pillow."

"Um... that... Mr. Brave... why don't we sleep together?"

Halfway through her speech, Istina looked away in embarrassment.

"If something unexpected happens, I'll need to fight immediately, so I won't sleep tonight. Just watching Tina sleep can be considered a rest."

"……Um."

After hearing what Eve said, Istina looked shy, but still nodded obediently.

On the other side, the children of the monastery were playing games in the house. The content was - playing the role of a brave man going on an adventure, which is the legendary imitation game performed in front of the person concerned.

Well, because Istina had told them many times about her brave hero, these children were also keen on playing the role of heroes and acting out the adventures in their hearts.

Lucia, who was about the same age as them, also integrated smoothly.

As for Ilvia, she leaned casually aside, watching them play while keeping an eye on the group of people in the courtyard out of the corner of her eye.

After the meal, this group of people returned to the carriage directly, looking completely honest, as if they didn't want to have any contact with the children in the monastery.

But in Ilvia's perception, this group of people was like a bunch of walking filth, and she wanted to clean it up, burn it, and landfill it immediately.

As for the possibility of misjudgment, we cannot say that there is no possibility, but we can only say that it is zero.

If she hadn't been worried about the children in the monastery being affected, she would have asked Eve to help her clean up.

Da da da.

As the footsteps approached, Istina and Eve, who had left in a hurry after dinner, returned to the house again.

After clapping her hands to attract the attention of the children in the room, Istina cleared her throat and said.

"Okay, everyone, it's time to go to bed. Lucia and Via, come too."

““Okay~~~!””

Eve came to Ilvia and asked in a low voice.

"How about it?"

"..."

He shook his head slightly, indicating that the other party did not make any move.

"Is that so? Then I'd like to trouble you and Arcana to be on the lookout for these kids tonight."

"…Um."

After Istina dug out three more quilts, Via, Arcana and Lucia successfully moved into the girls' room, although they had to sleep on the floor.

However, none of them had any complaints. As weapon elves, Viya and Arcana had no problem not sleeping. As for Lucia, she had been wandering in the wild all the time, so she had no pressure sleeping on the floor. Not to mention that Eve had thoughtfully used a constant temperature heating magic for them to prevent them from catching cold.

After a little commotion, as time went by, the girls in the monastery gradually fell asleep. Seeing this, Eve and Istina quietly left the house and returned to Tina's room.

"Okay, now that the kids are asleep, let's get ready for bed too."

Eve said as she sat down at the head of Istina's bed and patted her thigh.

"Uh-huh."

After taking a few deep breaths, Istina sat down on the edge of the bed, took off her coat and folded it aside, then gently lay on Eve's legs.

Although it was past her usual bedtime, after lying down today, Istina not only did not feel sleepy at all, but her heart beat faster and faster.
