My mother's love song

"Do you want to gain power?"

the voice asked in May's head.

"I can give you the power to no longer fear the sun and the church."

"........."

Yumizuka Satsuki nodded desperately without any hesitation.

Not only because she was afraid of death, but also because that voice was full of incredible charm.

Just like sweet blood, it is hard for the girl to refuse.

"Okay, I'll let you become my dependent."

May looked up in surprise, and a young girl appeared in front of her from the sky.

No... rather than saying that it was a girl, it was Yumizuka Satsuki herself.

The girl who appeared in her eyes looked exactly like her, but had a completely different sense of transcendent existence.

The girl raised her arms gracefully toward her.

"Suck it... This way you can also call yourself the twenty-seventh ancestor.

Become my limbs and walk on the earth in my place without a body."

The crimson liquid flowed from the girl's wrist, and May felt extremely thirsty.

But she still resisted the urge to pounce on him and suck his blood, and just stared at him quietly.

Although the girl had the same appearance as himself, she was shrouded in darkness.

Whether it was the skin or the hair, everything was so dark that it looked like a pure black shadow.

Yumatsuka Satsuki swallowed his saliva and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the oldest King of the Dead Apostles.

The first of the twenty-seven ancestors, the Dark Six.

As the girl gave her name, she smiled charmingly.

"Although my name is now widely known in the vampire world, you can also use the name of the human side.

Call me Beast VI."

Chapter 986 What is more terrifying than vampires is the Shura Field...!

"Shiki, hurry up. Otherwise you'll be late for school."

"Ah, coming right up."

Arimaka Keiko's voice came from the kitchen, and Tohno Shiki responded while hurriedly taking his schoolbag and walking out of the room.

"Don't forget your lunch box, either."

"Thank you."

Shiki took the heavy bento from Keiko who had chased him to the entrance.

"Then I'm going out, Mom."

Qi Zi nodded silently, showing a worried expression.

"Shiki, while it's important to do your best in school, don't be too hard on yourself. You're weak."

"It's okay. I've recovered for eight years and am now as healthy as a normal person.

Don’t be fooled by my appearance, I’m actually quite strong.”

"Also... the security situation has been bad recently, so remember to come back early after school and don't hang around outside."

"I understand. I won't take the long way around it."

In order not to worry his adoptive mother, Shiki acted a little bit tough.

Shiki Toono, who was fostered by his father Shinjiu Toono to the Ari family, is already a sophomore in high school.

Eight years ago, after he recovered from a serious injury that would normally have killed him on the spot, he was placed in the care of the Ariken family, a relative of the branch family.

The Tono family lives in a luxurious Western-style house and has a prominent family background that controls several companies.

But for Shiki, there is no real sense of "home" there, and the room there is more like his real "home".

In fact, before the accident, Shiki's relationship with the Tono family was not very good, probably because the strict family rules of etiquette and behavior would always be boring for children.

So when his father told young Shiki that he wanted to send him to the Arima family for foster care, he did not raise any objections.

After arriving at Arima's house, Shiki also thought it was a nice place.

He gets along particularly well with the people of the Arimaka family. His adoptive mother Keiko and his adoptive father Fumitomi treat Shiki as well as his biological parents.

And Shiki originally longed for the warm life of an ordinary family.

So, Toono Shiki lived an ordinary and leisurely life here as if he were a natural child of the family.

Although Shiki suffered serious sequelae from the accident, he received help from his teacher and finally returned to a normal life.

In my life so far, I can say that there is no regret in anything.

Shiki feels that his life from now on will probably continue to be ordinary and happy.

"Ah, hey, hey. Can you wait a moment, kid over there?"

Not far from the door of Yujian's house, Shiki was stopped by a strange man in a suit.

He is an adult with messy hair and a sleepy look, looking very unreliable.

Shiki asked alertly, "What's going on?"

The man asked, "You live nearby, right? Do you know the situation of the family in front?"

If you know, please tell me. Do you want some pocket money? I really want to know about the people who have a family. "

"........."

Toono Shiki kept his distance from him, not because of his lazy tone, but because he saw the seriousness hidden under his frivolous disguise.

"Don't worry, I will pay you well, okay?"

The man continued, “What I particularly want to know is about the adopted son of a family.

Because I just arrived, I don't have any photos or information.

Can you tell me what he looks like, the type of girl he likes, his favorite food, and preferably his weaknesses too! ? "

The man covered his crotch and bent over in pain.

"Is your mouth a pot without a bottom? No matter how you look at it, this must be Tohno Shiki himself, right?"

Blonde hair, green eyes, and wearing a red jacket.

The boy, who was about twelve years old, kicked the man in the crotch from behind and walked forward with an unhappy look on his face.

"Wait, really!? But he doesn't smell like a bourgeois at all!?"

"What smell are you talking about? Money doesn't have any smell, right? Or is it the smell of dirt on your hands?

Are you trying to say that rich people are all covered in dirt? Your remarks are too contemptuous, aren't they?"

Teenagers, white, had bad attitudes and were ruthlessly berating adults in their twenties.

Toono Shiki was at a loss as to what to do with the situation and was about to call the police.

“Hey, you over there, don’t just call 110 without saying anything! Really, young people these days… Come, take a look at this.”

"……Eh?"

The man showed Shiki his police officer ID, and it was from the legendary Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

"He's not some suspicious person, he's a policeman, Ando Yugo from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

But, you have been shut out since yesterday. Isn’t Youjian’s family too protective of you?

I just have something small to ask you, and I have no choice but to lie in ambush here."

Although Shiki seriously doubted whether the police officer's ID was genuine, he was more concerned about the other party's reasons.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, it's about Yumizuka Satsuki from your class."

"Yumizuka-san?"

"She had not returned home since the day before yesterday, and her family contacted the school and learned that she was absent without reason the next day as well.

Of course, I didn't go home last night either.

Then, Yumizuka Satsuki's lost school bag and student ID were found on the street.

It was covered in blood, so it could be judged that some kind of accident had occurred.

Tohno Shiki, do you know about Yumatsuka Satsuki's situation?"

"Do not……"

Shiki shook his head and answered truthfully, "I haven't seen Yumizuka-san since school the day before yesterday."

While he was worried about May, he also had a doubt in his heart: Why did the police specifically come to him to investigate the situation?

Although there have been several heinous murders in Soya City recently, and the disappearance of a female high school student in this context is indeed worthy of attention, the Japanese police are not so efficient as to wait outside students' homes for questioning, right?

Moreover, from this person's initial attitude, he seemed to know that Tono Shiki was the son of a wealthy family who was fostered in an ordinary family, and

The first thing he said was that he wanted to know about my situation, right?

"Is that all I want to ask?"

"Eh? Oh no, won't you cooperate with the investigation? I have already explained my identity and purpose clearly, right?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know Yumizuka-san's whereabouts. Please go back. If you have any further questions, please come to school to find me."

Toono Shiki ignored the man and walked towards the school.

Although he was worried about Yumizuka-san's situation, he didn't want to continue talking to such a suspicious detective, as it might even implicate the Arima family.

As for Yumzuka-san, whose whereabouts are unknown, I will go to

"Hey."

He was stopped by a loud shout.

If it was Officer Ando who called out, Shiki would have ignored it, but the blond boy's voice was filled with an irresistible authority.

"If you want to be a hero, you have to know your own limitations. If you want to die like a human being, now is the time to stop."

"What did you say?"

Shiki stopped and stared at the boy.

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

Even Shiki himself didn't know why he was so excited.

"I've just told you everything I wanted to say, you idiot. If you don't listen to me, just go and die."

After saying this, the blond boy turned around.

"Okay, it's time to go back, Ando. It's time to eat, let's go eat cake. Cake. I want the kind covered with cheese and honey!"

"Yes, yes, I'll do as you tell me... Why do I have to be your bodyguard now that I'm in Japan?"

The strange duo got into a car parked on the side of the road and drove towards the station.

"..."

Toono Shiki looked at the car driving away and swallowed the uneasiness in his heart.

He decided to wait until after school to look for the missing Yumatsuka Satsuki.

Even though he and Yumizuka rarely exchanged a few words in class, he still felt that he couldn't just leave it alone.

"Shiki, you have eyes that are more special than others. This is your own ability, so it is your freedom to use it how you want.

I won't say anything like "with great power comes great responsibility", but
