[Ever since Toru entered high school.]
[You noticed that there were more and more women around him.]
[At first, there was only a girl called Yamada Ryo. Later, you heard other names from his mouth: Ijichi Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, Gotoh Hitori, Ohtsuki Yoyoko...]
[A group of girls who played in a band took away something that originally belonged only to you.]
[The only thing that brought you comfort was that Toru never brought girls home, nor did he stay out overnight. Before dinner, he would always come home to feed you.]
[In the end, you could not even clearly tell whether you were raising him, or Toru was raising you.]
Kagarino Kirie, as an observer, could see things much more clearly than the other version of herself.
Had this not completely turned into a useless freeloader?
The dignity of a vampire, completely gone.
[You accidentally learned about Toru's recent goal. He seemed to be preparing to take first place in the Chopin Piano Competition before graduating from high school.]
[Interestingly enough, when Chopin toured Europe back then, you had once listened to his performance. You never expected that more than a hundred years later, you would see a piano competition related to him and named after him.]
[This small matter made you realize once again… time really passes quickly.]
[During the summer vacation.]
[Toru received invitations from those band girls and prepared to go to the seaside for a holiday.]
[This was his first time leaving the nest, leaving you behind to spend the night elsewhere.]
[Regarding this insignificant separation, you did not have any strange thoughts, only a hollow and uncomfortable feeling around your heart.]
[As a noble vampire, three days was extremely short. Thinking that way, you hid under the blanket and tossed and turned the night before the separation, unable to fall asleep.]
[The next morning.]
[As departure time drew near.]
["Onee-chan, do you want to come play with me?"]
["Hmph, the sea and things like that, I have long since grown tired of it." You crossed your arms and turned your head away, refusing to look at him.]
[The hidden meaning behind this awkward behavior was as follows.]
[Idiot, I do not want you to go. Do you not understand?]
[If you leave, how am I supposed to eat at night?]
[Stay and keep me company, okay?]
If you were reluctant to part, why not just say it out loud.
[After spending so many years with you, Toru could still read some of your subtle expressions.]
["Onee-chan, I thought about it, and I think I will not go to the seaside after all."]
[Hearing this answer, you felt happy inside, but on the surface you remained calm. "Oh."]
[Toru's sudden cancellation surprised several members of the Kessoku Band, but they were not angry.]
Their temperaments were really good.
They did not even get angry after being stood up.
[That night, to reward him for his wise choice in the morning, you took the initiative to go to his room, planning to sleep with him for one night.]
[Ever since Toru entered middle school, you had given up on the idea of continuing to sleep with a child.]
[Standing in front of his bedroom door.]
[You thought for a long time.]
[Then pushed open the door.]
[Only to find that Toru was not in the room.]
[You decided.]
[1. "It is late, go back to your room and sleep."]
[2. "Wander around. You might run into him."]
[3. "Not in his room in the middle of the night, he must be cheating!"]
[4. Personally simulate.]
This choice was simple.
The second one.
[You walked along the villa corridor and arrived at the kitchen. There was no one here.]
[Then you went to the study. There was also no movement.]
[After growing slightly impatient, near the piano room, you heard a segment of ethereal piano music.]
[You have triggered a special event. Do you wish to enter?]
A special event?
It seemed to be the first time encountering one…
◇
Night.
Notes flowed through the dim piano room along with the pale moonlight.
By the faint light, Toru played Chopin's nocturnes, gazing at the neon lights of the distant city outside the floor to ceiling window, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
After playing several pieces in a row.
Toru released the keys and turned to look at Kagarino Kirie, who had been standing at the doorway for who knew how long. Her silver white long hair was not tied up, scattered behind her. Her petite body formed an intoxicating contrast with her noble temperament.
Several strands of moonlight fell at her feet. Under the moonlight's reflection, her slender jade like feet appeared even more delicate and pitiful.
"Good evening, Onee-chan."
"Good evening."
Kagarino Kirie's voice was cool, just like the moonlight outside the window.
While listening to Toru's performance just now.
Kirie noticed the difference between personal simulation and special events.
Personal simulation did not inherit the memories of the other self within the simulation.
But special events were different…
Kagarino Kirie could recall any memory from the past three hundred years since her birth, including more than ten years spent with Toru.
The former was acting, the latter was complete inheritance and replacement.
'Just taking a few glances at him, and my heart will not stop racing…'
Kirie pursed her crimson lips.
This mode could not be entered casually.
It was too easy to get lost in the role.
And end up putting yourself in.
In reality, she had never even been in a relationship before. She could not easily fall for a virtual character on a screen.
"How was my playing just now?"
"It was barely acceptable to listen to."
In truth, it was far beyond merely acceptable. Toru's piano skill had become increasingly exquisite, to a level even Kagarino Kirie, as a vampire, found difficult to comprehend.
A great musician could stir the emotions of the listener.
Going a step further, they could influence human senses and create effects similar to hallucinations.
There was nothing strange about Toru's piano. It was simply pleasant to listen to, purely pleasant.
It carried a sense of returning to simplicity.
"Onee-chan, do you want to play a few pieces together?"
"…All right."
Kirie nodded and walked over with light steps, sitting down beside him.
She raised her hands and tried pressing a few keys.
It was not very comfortable.
The height of the piano bench was a bit subtle…
The difference in their heights was thirty centimeters, making it hard to unify their posture.
Seeing this, Toru thought for a moment, wrapped his arms around Kirie's slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, lifted her up, and placed her onto his lap.
Because Kirie was very light, this action posed no difficulty for him.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Kirie blushed and turned her head to glare at him. This cute appearance was like an angry little cat.
Words without any deterrent instead stirred up some improper desires within Toru.
In this simulation, he had not indulged for more than ten years. Now in the midst of adolescence, it was not easy to control himself.
"This makes it more convenient."
Feeling something slightly pressing against her from below, Kirie could not tell whether the convenience he spoke of was for playing the piano, or for doing something obscene.
…Pervert.
She was wearing a skirt right now, without safety shorts, only a single layer of black fabric.
After thinking for a few seconds.
"Hurry up and play the piano." Kirie said with a flushed face, changing the subject.
In an atmosphere tinged with ambiguity, the two played several nocturnes together with four hands.
After their fingers left the keys.
…
They rested for a few minutes.
"I am hungry."
Kirie turned around, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and shyly kissed his neck.
During this half hour, Toru had been enduring his sexual desire, while Kirie, as a vampire, had been enduring her appetite.
Soon, the sound of liquid being swallowed echoed in the piano room.
Half a minute later.
The girl withdrew her small fangs and licked his wound with her soft pink tongue. A vampire's saliva had the effect of accelerating healing.
Toru held her delicate and beautiful body, gently leaning close to her silver white hair, lightly inhaling her faint body fragrance.
At a moment like this, Toru should have maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, yet the monster called desire in his heart urged him to devour the beauty before him. To press her hard against the black and white piano keys, block her small mouth, violate her graceful jade like body, and listen to her sweet breaths.
After eating her fill, Kagarino Kirie leaned against his shoulder, placing all her strength onto him, her mind blank.
Suddenly, she felt a warm hand stroke her waist.
Full of food and drink, thoughts turned to lust…
Perhaps for that reason, or perhaps driven by the love contained in her chest.
Though it was quite an indecent action, there was no feeling of disgust in her heart.
At this moment.
She could no longer suppress the longing within.
Toru kissed her enticing lips. When their lips touched, it was like tasting a soft piece of jelly, sweet and carrying a hint of warmth.
…
…
…

[You played a beautiful piece together in the piano room.]
[A sleepless night.]
