I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

After pushing open the door, there were several tables and chairs in the room, but it was unclear what the room was used for. Maybe it was a lounge or something?

"Okay, everyone, just wait here for a while. Dinner will be served later."

"""good!"""

"Arkana, just trouble... huh? What's wrong, Via?"

Just when Eve wanted Arcana to stay here with the children, Ilvia suddenly pulled at the corner of her clothes.

"Me too, together."

"Eh? Well, that's fine. I'll leave these kids in the care of you two."

Then Eve looked at Istina beside her.

"Finally, it's Tina. Let's go. It's time to meet the parents."

"Uh-huh."

Although she was very shy, Istina nodded slightly.

§ 60 Meeting the Parents

blah blah blah

In the deserted castle corridor, the crisp sound of footsteps kept echoing, and Istina's cheeks, who was following behind Eve, became redder as time went by.

Since she didn't know the structure of the vampire's inner castle, she was extremely nervous at this moment, fearing that her brave lord in front of her would suddenly stop and tell her that they had arrived.

"Hmm... I'm about to meet the hero's mother. What should I do? She's the Queen of the Blood Clan. How should I behave? Will she think I'm being rude? Hmmmm, what should I do?!"

In the end, Istina, whose brain was overheating, simply chose to squat down with her head in her hands in a defensive posture.

"Kuwu~"

"Tina?"

Noticing the footsteps behind her disappear, Eve stopped and looked behind her in confusion.

"What's wrong?

As he spoke, he came to her and squatted down.

"Oh, Eve, is it really okay for me to go see your mother like this? I didn't bring any gifts, and my clothes aren't formal."

"Okay."

Eve reached out and held her little face.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, and..."

Before Eve could continue, Istina interrupted her.

"But, but, she's the Queen of the Blood Tribe! Ugh, how should I behave? I'm afraid the wrong etiquette will leave a bad impression. And how should I address her? And, and..."

As she spoke, Istina couldn't help but cover her face and shook her head from side to side.

squeak

Just as Istina's brain was overheating and she was talking nonsense, there was a slight sound of a door opening. However, she did not notice this because her brain was overheating and she continued to mutter.

"How should I introduce myself? Hello, my name is Istina, and I'm your daughter..."

However, Eve, who was squatting in front of her, keenly heard the sound of the door opening behind her and the familiar gaze on her.

...This is awkward. Actually, what she wanted to say when she was interrupted by Istina was that they had already arrived, and the study was in front of them, where her mother was.

"Cough cough."

With a light cough, Eve gently pulled Istina's sleeve, and then coughed a few more times to try to hint to her.

"Hmm? Eve?"

Unfortunately, Istina, who was overheated at the moment, did not understand what she meant very well, but she still put down her hands that were covering her face.

As she lowered her hands, the first thing she saw was the woman not far ahead who was looking at them with interest.

"!!!"

Well, this time Istina also experienced the feeling of social death, although there is an even greater wave of social death waiting for her ahead.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry! I'm sorry to bother you. I'll leave now!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to take Eve and escape.

However, despite her pulling, Eve showed no intention of leaving.

"Eve?"

Seeing this, Istina looked puzzled and looked in Eve's direction.

At this moment, in her eyes, Eve's expression was particularly wonderful, as if all kinds of emotions were mixed together.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Seeing that Istina still didn't realize the identity of the woman in front of her, Eve had no choice but to cough twice more and glare wildly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

But unfortunately, Istina still couldn't understand what she meant. Tina was usually quite smart and they had a good rapport. Now was this the aftereffect of brain overheating?

So the hint was invalid, and he prepared to score with a straight shot.

"Um... that's Tina."

"Ok?"

Looking at Istina's innocent and confused expression, Eve even couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth.

"Let me introduce her. She is my mother, the current Queen of the Blood Clan, Elizabeth."

"………ha?"

After a long silence, Istina finally squeezed out a lovely sound.

At this time, Elizabeth, who had been watching the interaction between the two for a long time, finally couldn't help but chuckle, and then came up to the two with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Istina, my little Eve has been taken care of by you in the past."

However, Istina failed to respond to her call - at this moment, her whole body had gone limp and she fainted directly in Eve's arms, her little face burning so hot that it seemed enough to burn someone.

"Ah, I fainted."

Elizabeth was a little surprised when she saw Tina being barely supported by Eve.

It's quite rare to faint from shyness.

"Mother, I'll take Tina back to rest first. I'll come see you later. As for the food, just send it to the room on the first floor."

Because she was shorter than Istina, Eve's movements were a little difficult at this time.

"Yeah, no problem. Eve just needs to comfort little Tina."

As he said this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Huhu, it seems that little Tina is much more interesting than the report said."

The surveys she had received previously described Istina as calm and composed, with comments like "in addition to fighting, she was also responsible for taking care of the hero's life, and was the hero's right-hand man."

When she saw those, she thought Istina would be a very serious person, but when they actually met, she didn't expect her reaction to be so cute.

Compared to the serious type, she prefers Tina's personality.

In short, although this meeting can be described as a disaster, and Tina even fainted after saying just one sentence, she unexpectedly left a good impression on Elizabeth?

On the other hand, after Eve had helped Tina, who was a head taller than her, to the door of her room with some difficulty, she suddenly realized that she had made a stupid mistake - she could obviously grow in dragon mode!

Anyway, there are no outsiders in the inner castle, unlike in the palace where you would be treated as an unknown person.

“…I feel so stupid.”

While complaining about herself, Eve controlled her body to grow a little so that she could give Istina a princess hug.

"call."

After putting Istina on the bed, Eve released her growth state to prevent Istina, whose brain was overloaded, from not being able to recognize her immediately.

Then he leaned aside and watched Istina's little face to pass the time.

"Um...um..."

After a while, Istina also opened her eyes drowsily.

"here it is…"

"Ah, are you awake?"

"...Master Brave?"

"This is my bedroom. How about it? Do you remember what just happened?"

“…Yeah…I remember…!!!”

After a brief recollection, Istina's little face turned red again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, take a deep breath."

"Huh...huh...huh..."

After a long while, Istina's breathing gradually stabilized.

"Ugh... What should I do, Hero-sama? You fainted right after we met. This will definitely ruin my first impression!"

"Okay, okay, it's okay, mother won't mind."

"……real?"

Listening to Eve's comfort, Istina looked like she wanted to believe it but didn't dare to.

"Really~ Mother really likes your personality. Okay, take a break before going to see her..."

"……Um."

After a moment of silence, Istina finally managed a weak response.

§ 61 Meeting the Parents - Scoring a Second Score

"Hmm... This is the hero's room. It's surprisingly plain, and a little dark, isn't it?"

Sitting up, Istina looked around the room with some confusion.

Of course, this simplicity is relative to Eve's identity. As a vampire princess, her room surprisingly does not have any overly gorgeous decorations. Moreover, since the vampire territory is always gloomy during the day, the room is still a little dim at this time.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm a little used to this brightness."

Eve snapped her fingers and the lights above their heads came on, illuminating the dim room.

"Everyone in the vampire territory is basically like this. You'll get used to it after a while, and since you have night vision, it won't be inconvenient at all."

"Is this so..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. How about going to see mother again?"

"Eh?! Uh… yeah!"

"Okay, let's go."

With that, Eve jumped out of bed and looked at Istina.

"By the way, Mr. Brave, how long will it take us this time?"

Having learned her lesson, Istina finally remembered this problem before leaving.

"They're very close. My room and mother's room are on opposite sides of the inner castle. In the middle is the study where mother usually stays."

Eve said as she pushed open the door.
