Chapter 319: Pouring Spoiled Holy Water on the Vampire Princess
Let's rewind time a bit.
At Kuoh Academy, Renji, who worked as a physical education teacher, had just finished his class—swimming class.
And swimming classes were separated, with boys and girls having separate sessions.
So, males who wanted to admire the beautiful swimsuit figures of females could only imagine them in their minds.
As a teacher, he of course had the privilege of admiring the swimming postures of youthful beauties.
He could even teach them how to swim hands-on, so choosing to be a PE teacher was indeed the correct choice.
"Renji-sensei, aren't you going to take me to the infirmary?"
He ignored a rather resentful voice, whose owner was a chestnut-haired girl with twin braids.
Her eyes behind pink-framed glasses were also looking at him with great resentment.
This girl was named—Kiryuu Aika. In any other school, she would be considered one of the top ten beauties.
However, Kuoh Academy was rather special, so she appeared relatively ordinary compared to the radiant beauty of those others.
This girl, who also enjoyed discussing erotic topics, had just tried to play a trick but received a small punishment from him.
She had "accidentally" slipped, her bottom making a clumsy intimate contact with the ground.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but the issue was that a glass bead of unknown origin happened to be rolling on the ground there, so she cried out in pain.
Thus, ignoring this student, as Renji walked out through the main door of the indoor swimming pool, he could feel that resentful gaze turning somewhat malicious.
It seemed he was planning to pull some mischief on him again during the next class.
Leaving the teaching building, he headed toward the old school building.
As he entered a corridor, two figures also converged from another corner.
"Shinra-san~"
He greeted this black-haired beauty with hime-cut hair and received what appeared to be a normal response, but Renji could sense her dissatisfaction.
"What? Is Shinra-san still upset that I didn't prepare a gift for Sona?"
"No"
That's what she said, but Tsubaki's tone carried a hint of discontent.
"That gift is rather special. It's not something I can make alone—it requires Sona's cooperation as well."
"And so?"
Tsubaki slightly raised the corners of her eyes as she looked at him.
If it required Sona's cooperation, why not just discuss it with Sona?
From his perspective, he hadn't mentioned it to Sona at all, which seemed somewhat biased.
"Are you also dissatisfied that I haven't spoken to Sona about it now?"
"No"
"Sigh, it's not that I don't want to tell her, but in practice, Sona would likely refuse and not cooperate."
He forced a wry smile as he spoke.
"The president would refuse? Not cooperate?"
Tsubaki was somewhat surprised. Why did he think Sona would refuse?
Under normal circumstances, if Sona were to refuse, it would either be because she couldn't perform the required action or because she felt unqualified to do so.
So, what kind of operation could make Sona refuse to cooperate in making what appeared to be a skincare product for smoothing the skin?
Tsubaki couldn't understand.
"What kind of operation is it?"
"You really don't want to know, Shinra-san. If you knew, you would definitely stop Sona and look at me with disdain."
He continued with a bitter smile.
"Huh? I would stop the president? And look at you with disdain?"
What could it possibly be?
"Can I take the president's place?"
"That won't work. It has to be Sona herself. If you do it yourself, that portion can only belong to you."
"Belong to me? If neither of us says anything and the president doesn't know, couldn't you just give my portion to her?"
"If you're willing, I have no objections, but I'm sure you wouldn't be willing to give it to Sona either."
"I wouldn't be willing either?"
What kind of perfume or skincare product could be so special that a woman would become so enamored with it that she would never give it to anyone else?
The reactions from Rias and Ravel proved it was truly extraordinary.
This made Tsubaki even more curious.
"Could you please shut up? Human."
These suddenly spoken words caused Tsubaki's expression to change slightly, reminding her that she had forgotten she was supposed to bring the person beside her to meet Rias.
"And this child is?"
Renji also feigned confusion as he asked Tsubaki about the golden-haired girl standing beside her, who was wrapped in a medieval-style princess dress and looked as beautiful as a doll.
She didn't seem human at all—more like a crafted beauty.
Her skin was unnaturally pale, giving off a sickly white appearance.
If he had to describe the girl before him using a mythical creature, she would be a Vampire—and she likely was one indeed.
Hmm, she also gave Renji the impression of a character straight out of the humiliation-themed games he played in his previous life.
Also because of this tsundere—no, it should be said this arrogant vampire lady—had ignored him like a roadside stone from the very beginning, he likewise acted as if he hadn't seen her.
Correction, it couldn't be described as treating him like a stone; rather, she had swept a contemptuous gaze over him as if looking at an inferior being.
"Alright, you may leave."
She issued the command to him with great arrogance.
If he were truly an ordinary human, he would have obeyed the command, because she had actually cast a spell.
"Miss Elmenhilde, don't go too far!!!"
Tsubaki's expression darkened as she addressed the guest.
No, she no longer regarded the other party as a guest.
If not for the student council president's instructions, she wouldn't have bothered to escort this excessively arrogant young lady.
Especially now that she was courting death by casting a spell on the person before her.
The vampire queen must have lost her mind to send this young lady here.
Didn't she know that Kuoh Town today could be considered the center of a massive storm?
Ah, perhaps she truly didn't know.
But even if she did, these pure-blooded vampires would likely still act this way—they were far too arrogant.
Especially toward humans, whom they viewed purely as food.
Of course, they didn't actually eat humans; if they did, they would have long been eradicated by various mythologies.
Vampires' hunting of humans mainly involved emotional deception, then using them as blood bags and objects of comfort.
The hybrid children born afterward were either neglected, abandoned, or imprisoned.
These hybrids often caused problems in human society, which was why Shinra Tsubaki deeply despised these irresponsible vampires.
"Hmph, a mere servant of the Sitri Family, daring to defend a human as insignificant as an insect…"
Her voice abruptly cut off, her half-open mouth seeming to freeze, and then her crimson eyes revealed panic.
This scene made Tsubaki sigh. This young lady was in for it now, because the one who had immobilized her was none other than Renji-sensei before them.
"Shinra, you don't mind if I teach this unruly child a lesson, do you?"
As he said this, a collar formed of condensed magical energy was fastened around the young lady's neck.
"Do you have any garlic?"
"Ah? Garlic? That doesn't actually have any effect on her."
"No, I just think her mouth is a bit foul, and garlic has deodorizing properties."
So that was it. His words made the young lady's eyes blaze with fury.
Then, Shinra saw him take a bottle from his pocket, open it, and pour it into her half-open mouth.
"Th-that's Holy Water?"
"Yes, but it's just spoiled Holy Water. It won't kill her—at most, it'll give her a stomachache."
This scene also made Shinra's expression turn peculiar, as the imagery seemed rather twisted.
After pouring it in, he then gagged her with a ball gag, making it even more unsettling.
