Part 1: The love story of the slum dwellers
Chapter 2: In the garbage dump, I found my first love
When I came to, I was lying in a place not unlike a garbage dump.
As I tried to get up, I felt a discomfort.
Because I can see with both eyes, and none of my fingers are missing.
There are no scars on my body, and my facial muscles aren't paralyzed.
In addition, my body feels unusually light, as if it was not my own.
In order to confirm the changes that occurred to my body, I tried to look for something that could be used as a mirror, but found none nearby.
I had no choice but to leave the garbage dump, go through a sewer area and climb a ladder up to the outside --
What I saw there was a rough townscape, a European slum coming straight out of a history book.
Perhaps because it had recently rained, the smell of garbage was all over the place.
When I came out of a manhole, the sunlight came from the sky. Thinking of how unpleasant it felt, I took shelter into the shade.
There, when I found a puddle, I saw my appearance for the first time.
Although dirty, I saw a silky, finely-detailed fair skin, red pupils and sharp canines.
Even though my black hair, my face and my school uniform stayed unchanged, I wondered if I had ever been this beautiful.
That thought would have been impossible if I had still been myself.
It would seem that not only the outside, but also the inside had been transformed.
"I am..."
-- Hinata Chigusa.
I can clearly remember that name, as well as the memories of a life filled with oppression.
However, this body is not the same.
To put it simply, conversion with the girl claiming to be a vampire had not been a dream, but reality.
I and that girl became one, and thus we survived.
As a half-vampire.
I see, so this was why I instinctively avoided the sun, i am convinced. However, still unconvinced, I exited the shadows and went under the sun once more.
The feeling of my burning skin.
However, the idea that "Vampires are sensitive to sunlight", the pain and injuries... There didn't seem to be any of that.
It might be because I was a half-vampire, or because real vampires had that resistance.\
"More importantly... where am I anyway?"
If I remember correctly, I should have jumped from the school rooftop.
And yet, for some reason, my splattered corpse was sent to that garbage dump, which clearly does not belong to Japan.
If Camila's memory is intact, she should be aware of the name of that place. However, conveniently, it would appear that nothing of the sort remained.
Since I had no choice, I began to walk around to gather information -- and found three men standing of the other end of the dark alley.
Furthermore, looking closely, weren't they surrounding one girl?
-- Kill.
My instincts are shouting at me.
Before I knew it, sharp claws not unlike needles grew from my hands, and power filled my legs.
...... Whatever you want to do, use my body as you wish.
After being admonished lightly, power suddenly came from my body.
It as a frightening thing, and it felt as if my body was not my own.
I slowly and carefully walked to the three men, and observed for a moment their exchange.
"Oi, Eris, how about you give me an answer soon?"
"I've told you a million times already, I don't care about you!"
"With a guy who thinks with his lower half? I don't care at all!"
The three pathetic men surrounded the strong-willed orange-haired girl, and seemed to be able to lay their hands on her.
I also had a similar experience in the past. These kind of people, if you resist their advances, they would act on their own carnal desires, selfishly forcing responsibility onto others, saying "It is your fault because you weren't obedient".
See? Even now.
The hand of the guy who spoke to Eris extended towards the little girl's chest.
As soon as it began to rub her not so small breasts over her clothes, it was promptly knocked down.
Eris glared at them with a flushed face, while the men laughed at her.
It is quite repulsive.
........
Oh, this rant is unlike me. Is this because of the influence of my vampire side?
Nevertheless, I think the point stands.
I don't care if it is about a piece of garbage like me, but that girl is filled with liveliness, and has a lover.
People whose brain is located in their lower half should not be allowed to do whatever they want to such a girl.
If she had to be defiled, it should be by something else...
"Um, can I ask a moment of your time?"
"Huhh?"
When I called out to them, their glared at me, their faces frowning like model thugs.
It was not scary in the slightest.
Then, after looking at their expressions and concluding that any discussion would be unneeded, my body began to move on its own.
"Kuh! Geh!"
I am smaller than them, reaching only their shoulders, so I only have to strike my fist out upwards to hit their solar plexus and immediately take one man out.
As one of his companions came to grab me, I stepped out of the way, dodging them, jumped and hit them behind the head with my heel.
Finally, I kneed the remaining one in the groin, and he fell flat on the ground.
"A-Amazing...."
The girl stood in front of me dumbfunded.
So was I.
I couldn't believe that someone like me, with no physical ability whatsoever, could move like that.
"Um, thank you."
The girl bowed deeply.
Since when had anyone bowed to me?
I had been made to bow through violence before, so this feels weird.
"No, it's not a big deal."
"But, these three guys are really troublesome around here! It's amazing that you beat them! So cool!"
"Oh."
"I wonder if there anything I can do to thank you --"
She must be a very good girl to want to thank me so soon.
It makes me want to mess her up.
Hm?
Just now, it was definitely a desire coming form my vampiric side.
But certainly, looking at her, Eris truly has an adorable face.
It was hard to believe that she came from the slum. Her skin was healthy, she had a large chest, and even her personality was good.
She can be of use.
"Um, in fact... I really don't know where I am. I found myself here before I knew it."
"Eh? What do you mean? Do you have amnesia or something?"
"That's not it, I think. Just a moment ago, I was in a completely different place. Because of that, I have nowhere to to sleep......"
"Ah, if you only want that, I can help you! Ah, it's not really tidy, but I hope it will be okay...."
How to say this? This girl, she lacks awareness, doesn't she?
It's unbelievable that she would help me, a total stranger, and let me stay the night just because I helped her a little.
If there were more people like her, I wonder if worthless people like me would have been able to lead a decent life.
"Oh right! I didn't introduce myself yet, did I? My name is Eris. I am 15, so we're probably the same age, right? "
"My name is Chigusa, 16 years old."
"Chigusa-- that's an unusual name, but it's cute, I think! Nice to meet you!"
Eris smiled at me fondly as I held her outstretched hand.
I can feel vividly her body heat from the hand connecting us.
I can feel her pulse from the capillary blood vessel in her palm.
Thinking about it, I feel that it's been a while since I last touched someone else like this.
This mysterious feeling --- it was as if by connecting our hand, I was taking something from her and pouring something sweet in return. I wonder what that could be.
◇◇◇
After that, she took me though a narrow path with her to her living place.
We went through an alley with bad footing, sometimes encountering a corpse, sometimes a sleeping person, before reaching a plaza. There, built out of scraps, stood something like a castle.
Surrounding it, there were similar buildings forming a town of grotesque shapes.
Were those made from the garbage dump from before?
Due to that, the same distinctive smell was present in the air.
"Could this be your first time in the waste town? "
"The waste town?"
"Un, the hidden side of the capital Grolle. Where there is light, there's also darkness, right? It is here, in the waste town, that the people who were abandoned make a living from the discarded trash."
Grolle, is that the name of the city?
This place is definitely not in Japan, is it?
If so, could it be that I can understand the words because of the vampire half inside of me?
How convenient.
However, if this is abroad, then there are still many mysterious phenomena.
In other words, I killed myself by jumping from my school rooftop, and as a result was blown away to a foreign country and became one with a vampire.
Even saying it myself, I have trouble understanding it.
"So, here's my house. As you can see, it's a bit filthy and worn-out, but is it still good?"
I was guided to a small room on the second floor of the scrap castle.
On the way, we passed by a few residents of the waste town, all of which were all skinny, dirty and smelled foul.
In such a place, Eris looked obviously much better than these people, so it was no wonder than they would gather around her.
"I am the one who asked for a place, so I can't say anything."
When I said so, Eris gave me a puzzled look.
I wonder if I said something strange.
"Ah, sorry, sorry. It's because the guys around here are greedy, so people like Chigusa are rare."
I didn't think I was particularly humble.
But if she said so, then it must have been true.
As we were walking and talking, she guided me to her room.
It was a space space, only large enough to contain about two tatami mats. To be honest, I thought it was too cramped for two people to sleep together, but I didn't have the luxury of asking for more.
Eris entered the room, hung the bloodstained knife she had been carrying in her pocket on a hook on the wall, and carelessly sat down on the floor.
"Sit wherever you want."
As prompted, I sat on my knees on the hard floor.
Then, upon noticing my gaze to the her knife, Eris began to talk.
"Is that thing bothering you? It's not that rare around here. Everyone has killed one or two people."
"Of course not, you handled it quite peacefully. If not for you, two of three people could have been killed, including me."
Hearing her not hesitate to include herself in that list, I was reminded that Eris too, for all her beauty, was a resident of this town.
Still, I can't believe that a place with such bad public security exist in this day and age.
Though I can hardly believe it, I did witness everything, including vampires, so I have no choice but to believe it.
"If this is a place with people can kill in the open in impunity, why did you let a stranger like me in your room?"
"It's because, for some reason, I thought that you were a nice girl. In situations like this, my instincts are usually right on the money, you know?"
She laughed with a grin.
I have no idea where or how she came to that conclusion.
Instead, I was the one who tended to receive harm from others.
"Hn! And because you are Chigusa, after all."
Eris approached me and bumped our foreheads together.
Due to her sudden approach, my heart skipped a beat.
"Wow, it's cold! Are you feeling okay? You face look really pale..."
"Is... that so?"
On the contrary, I had never felt better in my life.
I felt a burning hotness from our touching foreheads.
However, it is certainly not because Eris's body temperature was high, but rather because my own had dropped.
To make sure, she patted me all over my body, each time exclaiming in surprise "It's cold!".
"And your skin is so smooth. What a waste. If you stay in the waste town for too long, it will be ruined. "
"Is that so? I think that Eris's skin is also beautiful?"
As I said this, I held her hand.
My instincts told me to do so.
I don't understand why.
However-- after all, it was not simply a matter of simple heightened sensations when touching each other.
There was no doubt about it. Something was flowing from within my body into Eris's when we would touch each other.
I didn't know what it was at the moment. However, thinking that something inside of me would flow into someone else-- I was thrilled.
I felt like defiling a white canvas with a pure, vibrant blood red color.
"Um... it's embarrassing if you hold it so tightly..."
"I am sorry. But.... can I hold your hand for a bit more? Feeling Eris's warmth makes me feel safe."
"Is-is that so? If it's only that, then I don't mind."
Eris, whose tanned skin became flush as she said these words, was irresistibly cute.
I was tempted to take a bite.
Of course, I have some rationality left, so I did not immediately attack. Very soon, the time would come when she would not reject me, even if I were to attack her for no reason.
I was sure of it.
NB:
I romanized the name エリス as Eris, based especially on the romanization Eris in Konosuba.
Similarly, ライル was romanized as Lyle (see, e.g. https://vndb.org/c113866).
