Chapter 51: Something Better Than A Virgin

Chapter 51: Something Better Than A Virgin

Vampires. As their name suggests, they were a race that fed on human blood.

Although their numbers were few and they struggled to act under the sun, the empires leadership still considered vampires a threat greater than even the Demon King or the Corpse Lord.

They, known as the nobles of the night, excelled at hiding in the darkness and had a great ability to infiltrate society using their power to beguile people.

If these few infiltrated human society to assassinate authority figures or beguile them into becoming puppets for their ambitions, the impact would be incomparable to any conflict caused by brute force.

Haha, sorry for the dust. I havent used this hideout in a while.

Indeed, the vampire who had brought me to this abandoned mansion was one of the most infamous fugitives of the empire among his kind.

Virgil Huntress. Commonly known as the Virgin Slayer.

Named for physically tearing apart virgins, he targeted even nobles and royals, making him a target the empire desperately wanted to deal with.

Find yourself a comfortable spot. Ill bring some drinks.

But what could it be?

Why was this heinous criminal showing me such kindness?

Ill brew some black tea from the dried leaves I have here Ah, theres a dessert I bought as a snack. Its a bit old-fashioned, but is that alright?

No, its fine. As a novice adventurer, Im in a position to be grateful for anything.

Haha, youre a diligent and admirable young man.

Not just being considerate but even offering compliments.

No, after witnessing him slaughter a femme hero, it was hard to think he had ulterior motives with such a complete change in demeanor.

Aside from what he despises, he generally shows a generous attitude. At least, that was my impression of him.

Ah, now that I think about it, I didnt properly introduce myself when we met last time.

As if to confirm my speculation, he soon placed his hand on his chest and spoke.

My name is Virgil Huntress. A noble of the night, and I dabble in the business of darkness as both a hobby and a profession.

Business of darkness?

Haha, are you interested?

Slither.

Virgil, having removed his cloak, placed a piece of paper that came out of it on the table.

Inside, there were portraits of women, along with information about them.

What is this? A collection of memorial photos of a serial killers victims?

If you have a preference, I can introduce you to a suitable woman from these. As a matchmaker of darkness, Ill find someone who suits your tastes.

Uh matchmaking?

Yes, I generally introduce widows to new companions. In such a chaotic world, many lose their husbands, but isnt it too cruel to tell them to spend their lives in sorrow?

The vampire, smiling slyly, fiddled with his hands.

The contented smile on his face showed he truly found his work rewarding.

Of course, I cant introduce women who are already taken. A mans love should stem from conquest and inclusion, not from forceful possession.

You have a firm philosophy.

As a noble, one must stick to their convictions. Haha.

Ah, yes. With such conviction, he tore apart maidens.

I wanted to object in many ways, but I decided to keep quiet because I valued my life.

Well, thats why I, a noble, cant leave those in trouble alone. Enough chit-chat. Ill get straight to the point and ask

Swoosh.

Virgil Huntress retrieved the catalog he had placed on the table.

Then, sweeping his long black hair back and resting his chin on his hand, he said,



The reason you were wandering the streets drunkwas it because of a woman?

His eyes showed experience and shrewdness, and his voice was sharp and baritone.

I felt like he was delving into my inner thoughts, but I wasnt particularly surprised.

After all, vampires had the skill to mesmerize people, and that skill enabled them to discern and unsettle the mind.

In fact, what happened was

And for me, there was nothing to do but drink more anyway.

Having decided to consult with him, I swiftly presented a letter I had kept in my pocket.

Oh, is this a love letter?

Did scoring 100 in health and physical education at school equate to being a sex master in the red-light district?

People, including my kin, often misunderstand this, but I dont particularly dislike virgins. I killed those who lacked manners in a fit of anger, and they all just happened to be rotten bitches.

As I grimaced, thinking vampire culture was far from normal, he, who might be relatively normal, continued speaking confidently with his arms crossed beside me.

So, another question. Do you think a person who has never given their heart to anyone, lacks the skill to express love, or even the ability to court, can fully develop a relationship with you?

Hearing you say it, it seems unlikely

Indeed, those who have loved become more honest with themselves, those with knowledge seek to utilize it, and those whove had physical relations crave that pleasure with others. To maintain virginity without any such experience? Unless secluded in a room their whole life, expecting them to show you kindness is absurd, dont you think?

Yes, youre not wrong. Yes

Indeed, no matter how nice they seemed, if they didnt show me kindness, they were just pretty garbage.

Having seen the fate of such trash, I felt half-convinced by his logic.

I still couldnt dismiss it as nonsense, but he had the rhetoric and gravity to seriously package even such nonsense.

Overlooking that, many men today are obsessed with the ideal, worshiping the perfectly unblemished virgin, but usually, when they try to make this ideal a reality, it ends in disaster.

Whoosh.

His body became mist again and disappeared beside me.

So remember this advice. A married woman with proven experience of love towards others is better than a pure bitch who has no chance of loving you, and even better than a married woman is a non-virgin who has ruined her virginity with her own hands.

Then, appearing before me, he pointed his sharp-clawed finger at me and spoke in a low voice,

Even though the world is chaotic and full of those who have lost their companions, doesnt this make the value of love formed by untainted men and women even higher?

For someone like me, not accustomed to romantic relationships, it was an undeniable truth I couldnt even refute.

He expressed his confidence boldly, even lifting the corners of his mouth.

But.

Yes, it was a bit exaggerated, but fundamentally, it wasnt wrong.

In such a chaotic world, the value of those who showed kindness to me surely increased.

Vivian and Merilyn, too.

The reason I harbored feelings for them was because I understood that value.

Even if we have feelings for each other, I might not be able to meet her anymore.

But wasnt being together with them something that required strength?

I lacked strength, so all I could do was watch them leave.

And that would keep happening in the future, too

So, are you saying youre afraid of your current heartbreak and will repeat the same mistake?

As he held my shoulder, he spoke to me in a heavy voice.

If you regret letting one woman go, dont you think you should at least protect what remains?

What remains?

Is the person in your heart now, the one you think you cant meet anymore, all there is?

My body trembled with a start.

Before I could even think, my body reacted, knowing how to respond to his words.

Yes, there must be more. And now, youre afraid to advance relationships with those who remain, unable to forget the experience of heartbreak

Whoosh.

Once again, his body disappeared before my eyes

No, he didnt disappear.

His body, transformed and spread like mist, cunningly surrounded me, making it feel as though he had vanished.

Those who have left are beyond help, but if theres still something you desire, you must first seize it with your own hands before thinking about it If theres time to debate qualifications, go and claim them with your own will.

Listening to the echo emanating from the mist, I gradually felt my mind becoming engulfed.

Hypnotism. A type of mesmerism used by vampires, the so-called nobles of the night, when targeting their prey.

This cruel world is not kind enough to wait until youre mentally prepared.

Normally, I would feel a sense of crisis and resist, but still, I did not resist and ended up accepting his voice.

Believing that he, who sincerely advised me for my sake, would not do such a thing with malice.



And when I came to my senses again,

I found myself with my head buried in the ground, repeating the words, realizing something was seriously wrong.

Airi, please have sex with me!

No, this vampire, sir.

This is too much, no matter how you look at it.
