[Your parents died in an accidental incident.]
[The couple were attacked, neither survived. Their bodies were completely consumed, devoured by vampires.]
[You have more or less guessed the mastermind behind all of this.]
[Because of your beauty, your parents lost their lives. After learning this truth, you spent your days drowning in tears.]
The scene shifts.
"Young lady, this is not your fault," the maid Lina tried to comfort her.
The power of vampires far surpassed that of ordinary humans. Creating an accident posed no difficulty at all.
To them, humans were nothing more than food.
Kagarino Kirie was simply food that happened to be prettier than most.
[You paid no attention to the maid's comfort. You knew that you could not escape responsibility for all of this.]
[After losing your parents' protection, you no longer had the power to resist. You became meat on the chopping block, to be slaughtered at will.]
[At the age of fifteen, you were taken into the manor by the murderer who killed your parents. She claimed you as her private possession and arranged a marriage with you.]
Hey, I am not going to be made to do something strange, right?
[…]
[In the simulated world, vampires are all female. There is nothing she can do to you.]
Why are they all female?
The smell of oranges is really strong…
[Of course, it is to take care of the player's experience.]
[This simulator respects the will of women. No one can force you.]
Well, that is pretty good.
Kagarino Kirie felt that this simulator was rather humane and did not pull any cheap stunts.
[You are about to celebrate your sixteenth birthday, which also happens to be your wedding day.]
[On this day, you put on a gorgeous red and black dress and sit upright before the vanity mirror. After tonight, you will become someone else's wife, marrying the murderer who killed your parents.]
There should be a revenge plot later, right?
Kagarino Kirie began to look forward to it.
[You do not want such a fate, but in a place inhabited entirely by vampires, how can you escape?]
[Staring at the peerless beauty reflected in the mirror, you hate your own face for the first time.]
[You think—]
[1. "If I scar this face, that bad person should let me go."]
[2. "I must escape… right, I can ask Lina to help me. She has taken care of me since I was young. She should help me."]
[3. "I will just marry her then. Anyway, a woman cannot really do anything to me."]
[4. Personally simulate.]
Personally simulate?
What does that mean?
[After choosing personal simulation, you will directly possess the character and experience the story firsthand.]
I see.
I will try that later.
Let me look at the options first.
Kagarino Kirie pressed her index finger against her soft lower lip and began to think.
The first one, scarring her face, would probably get her eaten, right?
Pretty food, vampires might keep and savor slowly.
Ugly ones?
That would just be a dead end.
The third option was no good either.
Who knows how wild that woman is?
Kagarino Kirie felt that the second option was the most reliable.
[You find the maid Lina and ask whether she can help you escape.]
The surrounding scene shifts—
Inside the young lady's bedroom.
Lina, dressed in a maid's uniform, bent slightly at the waist.
"Young lady, what do you need me for?"
"Lina, can you take me away from here?"
"…"
[Lina's expression is conflicted. She has a way to save you.]
What way?
Curious.
[If Lina turns you into a vampire, you can use the innate vampire ability to transform into a bat, leave Paris, and escape this cage.]
[She has watched you grow up since childhood and does not want to turn you into a monster that survives on blood. You should live under the sun, not in the shadows.]
[After explaining this to you, Lina lowers her head slightly.]
"Lina, I do not mind."
Kagarino Kirie looked at the servant who had cared for her for more than ten years and spoke.
"Understood."
Lina let out a sigh.
[Afterward, under Lina's guidance, you successfully became a vampire at dusk. You have remarkable talent. In just half an hour, you mastered the ability to transform into a bat.]
[You have obtained a means of escape.]
[Night falls.]
[You stand on the windowsill. After transforming into a bat, you invite the maid Lina to escape with you.]
[Faced with your invitation, Lina shakes her head.]
[If she wants you to leave successfully, she must stay behind to draw attention and prevent the bad person from pursuing you.]
[She locks you outside the window.]
[Through the transparent glass, you watch with your own eyes as she changes into your ceremonial dress. Finally, with sadness in your heart, she smiles, draws the curtains shut, and points toward the moon in the sky.]
[Leave, young lady. Never come back. You understand her meaning.]
Dictator Aladeen replaced by a decoy Shepperd…
Such a classic plot.
Kagarino Kirie had used this kind of setup before in the novels she wrote.
[You gaze at the streets of Paris filled with lights and resolve to abandon unnecessary emotions.]
[From then on, you never see the maid Lina again. She is most likely dead.]
[After escaping France.]
[Gradually, you discover how you differ from other vampires. You are not afraid of sunlight, garlic, or crosses. You are not quite a vampire.]
[Thus, you come to a remote monastery to hide from possible pursuit.]
[Over the following decades, you wander from country to country.]
[Soon, you come to possess power sufficient for self protection, even strong by most standards.]
[Several decades later, you return to Paris to seek your old enemy, only to learn that the enemy had long since died at the hands of another vampire.]
[With no enemy and no goal left, you decide to continue drifting with the flow.]
[During this time.]
[You witness many interesting events.]
[In a certain small town, there is a witch who develops a secret potion of rejuvenation, allowing humans to live their lives over again.]
[You see countless people fighting over the potion, blood flowing like rivers.]
[From afar, you watch this scene.]
The image unfolds—
"Rejuvenation?" The silver haired vampire furrows her beautiful brows.
Humans were actually fighting until their heads split open over something like that.
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.
The girl lets out a soft scoff.
Stupid humans.
[You once visited a hidden archive and found a grimoire that could grant humans immortality.]
"This kind of trash can be called a secret treasure? Boring. If I had known, I would not have come."
The silver haired vampire tosses the grimoire into the nearby fireplace.
She possessed infinite life. To her, this book was completely useless.
[You even found a ring that could grant humans eternal life, but likewise abandoned it because it was of no use to you.]
[For the next two hundred years, you have no fixed abode.]
[Humans gradually grow stronger, gaining power that can rival vampires and other anomalies.]
[With no other choice, you go into seclusion in Japan.]
[You disguise yourself as a sixteen year old high school student and enroll in a private girls' high school.]
[That spring. On a rainy night.]
[After school, at the corner of a narrow street, you see a cardboard box.]
[When you approach, you discover that inside is not a kitten or puppy, but a two year old child…]
[You decide—]
[1. "Adopt him. In the long, endless years, treat it as a way to pass the time."]
[2. "Ignore it. What does human life or death have to do with a vampire like you?"]
[3. "End him with your own hands."]
There is nothing to think about.
Kagarino Kirie is not a real vampire. She cannot just ignore something like this.
Choose 1.
[You pick him up, and for some reason, a sense of maternal affection rises in your heart.]
Wait, maternal affection?
Staring at that line of text.
Kagarino Kirie suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
It should just be her imagination, right?
