I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Um... then... Sister Fiana?"

After thinking about it again, Lucia guessed again.

Well, there's more than one possible suspect. It seems that the people living here also play with Lucia like this.

"No~right~Oh~ Let me give little Lucia a little hint. It's about the necklace~"

"Ah! Is it Sister Eve?"

When Eve heard Lucia say her name, she also released her hands that were covering her eyes.

"That's right. How's it going, little Lucia? Did you miss your sister?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

"So, little Lucia, do you want to go to your sister's house again?"

"May I?"

Lucia said as she looked at Eve with some anticipation.

"Of course, your awakening ceremony will be held by your sister tomorrow. How about this, little Lucia? This is your first time participating in an awakening ceremony, right?"

That's right, tomorrow is the day for the awakening ceremony of this year, and Eve is here to pick up Lucia to go to the vampire clan to participate in the ceremony. Elizabeth is also quite interested in the situation of Lucia and Istina, and will go to watch tomorrow.

After all, one of them failed in her first awakening and tried again after becoming Eve's follower, while the other was a special case who showed some special qualities before awakening.

Since the awakening ceremony of the vampires was to be held early tomorrow morning, Eve came here a day in advance to pick up Lucia.

"Ok!"

After studying in school for a period of time, Lucia has also come to understand the extraordinary system on this continent, and naturally she is looking forward to whether she can obtain her own weapon spirit in the awakening ceremony.

At this time, the people nearby also noticed the sudden appearance of Eve and others, but they had been informed by Elesa in advance, and they quickly recognized that Eve was Lucia's nominal foster parent, so they were not too surprised.

Of course, they naturally didn't know Eve's true identity. Elesa only told them that Eve was a distinguished guest of the Chamber of Commerce and also Lucia's adoptive mother.

"grown ups."

One of them finished tending the flower bushes not far away and walked towards Eve, bowing slightly.

"Ah."

After a slight response, Eve continued to ask.

"How is it? Little Lucia hasn't caused you any trouble."

"Ah, not at all. Miss Lucia is very well-behaved and everyone likes her. The flowers in front of you are taken care of by Miss Lucia herself. They are obviously growing better than the ones we take care of."

"Is that so?"

As she spoke, Eve looked carefully at the flower field in front of her and nodded slightly.

It was just as she said, the number and color of flowers in this flower field were much better than other places.

"We've asked Miss Lucia for advice before, and she said we just need to listen to what the flowers are saying. But we can't replicate that. Miss Lucia's flowers don't even need pruning, and they're still growing so well."

She said this while recalling what happened at that time.

"Is there such a thing..."

Eve had some guesses about the reason. Could it be due to the peculiarity of Lucia herself, or the ability of the weapon elf that was about to awaken?

I didn't expect that Lucia could do this kind of thing in addition to being able to sense the kindness and malice of the people around her. However, being good at taking care of plants seems a bit like a talent from the elves.

After thinking about the possible reasons, Eve got back to business.

"By the way, I'm planning to take Lucia out for a while. She'll probably be back the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Could you please notify the others and the school?"

The earliest possible arrival was the day after tomorrow because Eve considered that Lucia might need to rest for a while after the awakening ceremony, so she planned to let her stay in the inner castle for another night. As for not staying for long, it was naturally because the vampires looked gloomy every day, which was not suitable for ordinary people to live there permanently.

"Hey, but tomorrow is the day of the Awakening Ceremony. Isn't Miss Lucia going to attend?"

"I'm going to take her to my house to participate. Okay, we're about to leave. Please notify the others."

"Well, leave it to me."

After arranging all this, Eve took Lucia's hand.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ok!"

Just like that, later on, in the courtyard of the inner castle of the Blood Clan’s Imperial City.

With the flash of the teleportation magic, several people returned from the human race's holy kingdom to the blood clan's royal city far away in the sky in the blink of an eye.

To be honest, teleportation magic is really convenient. No wonder no one in this world is committed to developing any means of transportation. The only ones are carriages driven by tamed monsters and sightseeing buses restored from ancient ruins, which are basically just to meet the needs of short-distance travel.

After all, unless you are a hiking enthusiast, why not just teleport when traveling long distances? No matter how far the distance is, you can reach the destination in an instant.

Even if you don't know how to teleport, you can hire some magicians, and the fees are very low.

Hmm... so maybe this is also the reason why this world doesn't pursue technology? After all, without demand there's no motivation for development, plus there's the hidden threat of the demon's followers.

But it has to be said that due to the lack of development in humanities, entertainment and other aspects, daily life in this world is actually a bit boring. After all, there is an abyss hanging over her head. Even as a princess, she basically has no entertainment activities. This is also part of the reason why Eve wants to go out and travel.

But for now, let's think about where Lucia will stay tonight. The side building is directly rejected. After all, there are not as many people coming as last time. This time, Lucia is the only one here. Although nothing will happen, Eve doesn't want her to stay alone at night.

So the only viable place was her room.

But now that I'm in her bed, Lucia is hers, that's for sure!

§ 3 Game time before bed [First update]

At night, in Eve's bedroom, Lucia was playing with Eve and the others. It seemed that because she was going to participate in the awakening ceremony early tomorrow morning, Lucia was particularly excited tonight. Although it was almost her usual bedtime, she did not feel tired at all.

At this time, Eve was facing the door, with a black ribbon wrapped around her head, covering her eyes, and she kept counting down loudly.

"Three, two, one, good! Are you all hidden?"

"..."

She was responded to by silence. After all, speaking out was equivalent to providing direction for Eve.

"Then I'm going to start looking for someone~"

As she spoke, Eve began to explore the room little by little.

Since she has lived here for more than two years, and her room is very spacious, with nothing in it except a table and a princess bed. Even the wardrobe has been replaced by magic, and there are no obstacles at all. Therefore, even with her eyes blindfolded, Eve has no inconvenience in moving around.

Of course, in order to make the game more interesting, Eve also limited the sensitivity of her senses. After all, once you are blindfolded and lose your sight, your hearing will become much more sensitive. It's okay for ordinary people, but for her, she can really hear the breathing of people nearby, and finding people by following the sound is not difficult.

At this time in the room, the other people also hid in the positions they felt satisfied with, nervously watching Eve's actions. Among them, Istina hid on the balcony farthest from the door, close to the window, Ilvia lay quietly on her side next to the princess bed in the room, and Lucia hid in a more traditional place, under the table in the room.

As for Arcana, it can be seen that she really wanted to win - she directly chose to use the force to hang on the pillar used to hang the gauze curtains of the princess's bed, completely out of Eve's reach. Even if she jumped, she probably couldn't touch her. It can be said that she was very unsportsmanlike.

By the way, the last person found can sleep in Eve's arms tonight.

Well, everything seemed to make sense all of a sudden.

"Ah! I caught the first one!"

The first person to be discovered was Ilvia, who was the first one to come across Eve when she was looking for someone near her bed.

"Uh huh..."

Ilvia, who was caught first, seemed a little dissatisfied, with her mouth pouted, but she still went to the elimination area, which was Eve's princess bed.

Although winning or losing didn't seem to make much difference to Ilvia, if she wasn't sleeping next to Eve, she would mysteriously press herself on her at night, the timing and the reason being unknown, and she could do this without Eve's perception and waking her.

The second person to be caught was Istina. When Eve was about to reach her, Tina tried to move her position, but was caught by Eve when she heard the sound of the curtains being touched.

"Hmm, Eve's hearing is a little too sharp. I only touched the curtain slightly."

"Well... this is the result after I have restrained myself a lot. Otherwise, I could have caught you guys just by following the sound of your breathing."

"Ugh...that's unfair."

"Alright, accept the loss and go over there obediently."

"Ah."

Although she felt a little regretful, Istina immediately went to bed with Ilvia.

And their movements in bed were extremely consistent, or rather, their eyes never left Arcana when they were in bed. Although everyone wanted to win, your behavior was a bit too outrageous, hey!

By the way, after Arcana heard that Eve could find people by following their breathing, he directly entered a state of holding his breath. It can be said that he took his desire to win to the extreme.

And because of Arcana's lack of martial ethics, Lucia was naturally the third one to be found.

"The third one, I caught it!"

"Ah, I was caught."

Lucia, who was caught from under the table, looked a little regretful. Of course, it was not because she could not hold on until the end to win Eve's right to spend one night with her, but simply because she failed to win. Don't think wrongly.

But after all, she was the second to last one to be found, so she was not too disappointed.

"Well, that means Arcana has won. Come out, it's over. Let me see where you've been hiding."

As she spoke, Eve took off the ribbon covering her eyes, and happened to see Arcana jumping off the bedpost.

Seeing where Arcana was hiding, even Eve, who was usually calm, couldn't help but twitch her lips. You really want to win!!!

If she hadn't transformed into dragon mode and grown her body, she wouldn't have been able to touch Arcana even if she jumped! This hiding place was completely on the illegal borderline.

Although there was some controversy about Arcana's hiding place, in line with the principle of keeping one's word, Eve still gave the place in her arms tonight to Arcana.

I can only say that I hope Arcana doesn't do anything tonight. Lucia is still around tonight, and it will have a bad influence on the child.

...Why does it feel like this statement is a bit ambiguous?

After playing hide-and-seek, since Lucia still didn't seem sleepy, Eve played a few relaxing games with her, such as finding ten butterflies hidden in the room.

Well, it’s a project that Istina is familiar with, and she is familiar with this job.

After playing like this for a while, Lucia finally started to yawn, and they all changed into their pajamas and lay down on the bed.

The arrangement on the bed tonight is probably like this. Ilvia is on the far right, holding Eve's right hand to prevent her from getting squeezed with Arcana in the middle of the night, while Arcana is pressing on Eve, and the two pairs of A's are performing a passionate collision. On the left is Istina holding Eve's right hand, and on the far left is Lucia.

Fortunately, Eve's bed was big enough and they were all small in size, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate so many people.

After the lights in the room went out, Lucia was the first to fall asleep. After all, she was still a child, so her energy was naturally not as good as the vampires, dragon followers, weapon elves and others next to her.

After a while, Istina suddenly turned sideways and whispered in Eve's ear.

"Eve, do you think I can really contract a weapon spirit tomorrow?"

"Well, if you have some confidence, it should be fine."

"But I failed the first time."

Having failed in the first awakening ceremony, which was generally considered the most likely to lead to awakening, Istina now seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Don't be so discouraged. There are many people who have successfully contracted weapon spirits after encountering such a fortuitous encounter. If you don't have confidence in yourself, the opportunity you might have will slip away."

"Uh-huh!"

After taking a deep breath, Istina nodded and adjusted her mood. After all, she was still a little worried that her expectations would not be met, otherwise it would not have been like that.

"Okay, go to sleep."

After comforting Istina, the room became quiet and everyone fell asleep one after another.

§ 4 Before the Ceremony [Second Update]

Early in the morning, Eve pushed away Arcana who was burying his head in her neck and sniffing at her, and simply woke everyone up.

"Get up! Now! Hurry up, everyone get up!"

"Um... well... Mr. Hero?"

"Good morning, Tina, and your name."
