“Vincent! Ban is injured….!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s not a big deal.”
While saying that, I looked down at the wound on my arm. Red dripping down, along with my heartbeat.
However, slowly but surely the amount had decreased… and then stopped completely. Even though the wound looks like it has been sewn up, it remains the fact that it has already been healed. Something like this, doesn’t make sense at all.
How long have I been－－no longer human?
I shook my head slightly. I don’t need to think about the answer. That night, I was killed by the beast. And for some reason, I’m no longer human. I guess Yuria helped me.
If I realized this at some other time, I would have been confused, luckily I realize that now. After all, having a body that doesn’t die is nonsense.
I raised my voice.
“Vincent. I don’t think I’m a human anymore. That’s why….”
There may be something I can do to stop Yuria. Vincent spoke before I could say everything.
“Yes, I know. But that won’t change what you have to do. Get away from here right now. If something happens to you…. Even Yuria won’t be able to help you either.”
He replied as if he knew everything. I frown.
“What…? What do you mean?”
Without answering my question, Vincent continued to focus his gaze on Yuria.

“Yuria’s heart….?”
“Yes. For vampires, heart is the vital point of their life force. Because of this, they have resilience beyond human knowledge. On the other hand, if it is destroyed, they would never be able to regenerate their bodies again. That’s how important this organ is to them.”
The hasty words were beyond my imagination.
Yuria’s heart is inside me.
….I see.
In that case, I will do the exact same thing to help him.
“If you, as his vessel, are injured, the damage goes directly to Yuria. You know what that means, right?”
“….I know. I know, but….”
If I die, Yuria will die too. The beast knew that, that’s why he couldn’t kill me when I came back to the mansion. However, Yuria doesn’t understand that now.
“Hurry up and go.”
Vincent repeated his words.
What he said was the best. But… run away, and then? What will happen to Vincent?
“What are you going to do? You said you couldn’t win.”
“I’m going to kill Yuria. It will take some time, but as long as you are alive, Ban, he will recover.”
“Kill him….!”
“….No.” A stiff voice then fell. It was Cecil.
Cecil, who had been watching the conversation between Vincent and me in silence, continued in a low voice.
“You’re going to release your curse, right?”
“…..”
“Don’t be silly. I won’t let you do that.”
“What do you mean by releasing curse?”
“Vincent is going to die!”
“Wha….!?”
“But this is the only way.”
“Wait. There must be some other way besides dying!”
“That’s true.”
When the wound finally closed, Yuria looked away from his right arm, and attacked Vincent again.
“GUH!?”
The heavy blow sank Vincent’s feet to the ground.
“There is no time, hurry up….!”
“No!”
Cecil is right. I knew he was going to die, that’s why I can’t accept such a proposal.
Think about it. Anything will do.
How can I prevent Yulia from killing anyone? Whatever the method….
Heart. Right arm injury. Yuria and I… are connected.
Vincent’s sword shrieked every time Yuria launched his attack. He and his weapon were at their limit.
Hurry… Hurry, I have to stop Yuria….!
－－At that moment, I… followed the idea of falling and slammed my right arm into the rubble.
“……!”
Fragments pierced me, making my blood splattered. My bones were broken, and pierced my flesh.
“Gu, uuuh…..!”
“Ban!? What are you doing….”
I clenched my teeth because of the pain I felt. At that time….
“GAAAAAAH!”
The room that shook the air echoed. Yuria, who had almost crushed Vincent, jumped back like he was struck by lightning
A roar that shook the air was heard. Yuria, who had almost crushed Vincent, jumped back as if he was struck by lightning.
“….I won’t let you kill anyone.”
I lifted the corner of my mouth, feeling satisfied.
Yuria felt the same pain as me. If so….
“….Hey, Vincent!”
I shouted at the top of my lungs.
“I’ll stop Yuria’s movement. So, please… wake Yuria up!!”
I hope Cecil is happy with his choices >_>
Thanks for the chapter <3
cecil better wallow in regret and guilt for the rest of his life
