When Ai Li opened her eyes again, Xue Cai was no longer around her - perhaps she sneaked back to her room while others were still asleep.
but……
Still not awakened.
Feeling the beasts in her body, Ai Li sighed helplessly again. She only had a few beasts in her body now, which were given to her by the unlucky arms dealer. They included the first beast, the Diamond Sheep, the second beast, the Amber Bull Head, the third beast, the Mercury Dragon Snake, the fourth beast, the Silver Mist Shell, the fifth beast, the Golden Lion, the seventh beast, the Night Grinding Black Sword, the eighth beast, the Purple Scorpion Tiger, the ninth beast, the Deep Crimson Double Horns, the eleventh beast, the White Steel Water Spirit, and the twelfth beast, the Blue Ice Demon Lady.
The beasts that Ai Li had awakened were her third, fifth, and ninth beasts. The other beasts were in deep sleep with no intention of waking up, and the sixth and tenth beasts were nowhere to be found, but not on her body...
Even though Setsuna was very shy and took the initiative to let herself be sucked's blood last night, the other beasts still showed no signs of waking up. Ai Li felt as if "That's it? It's not enough at all"... Well, does that mean she has to suck the blood of other people?
If all else fails, just attack someone else.
Ai Li shook her head and sat up. At present, relying on the blood of Xue Cai alone to awaken other beasts is not enough, but she is not completely helpless. Thinking carefully, is her thinking too narrow? Assuming that her idea is correct, awakening the beasts requires the blood of many girls, then how did the original protagonist of this world do it?
It can't be that all of it is just to increase favorability... That's right!
Thinking of this, Ellie's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands suddenly.
If you can't get the favorability, you can also force it, such as the famous Ran O series. Who wants to talk about feelings with you? Just talk about body, right? Moreover, the background of this world is modern society. If the protagonist is the most common harem man in Japanese animation, he can't have the courage to fall in love one by one. Unless he wants to be stabbed with a kitchen knife, it must be a model of one heroine and several female supporting roles. If you want to suck blood, besides the heroine with whom you have an ambiguous relationship, it must be the enemy!
Yes, that must be it!
At this moment, Ellie felt that she had finally grasped the thread of this world. No wonder the protagonist had the luck to become a vampire. Wasn't this just to deal with the enemy? And there were many women among the enemies. They must have been used by the protagonist to suck blood!
The more she thought about it, the more correct her reasoning became. Indeed, you see, vampires can absorb the blood and spiritual power from other people's bodies, which to a certain extent makes them powerless. Although this behavior is similar to OOXX, it is still different after all, so there is no need to worry about it becoming a scene in an 18+ animation.
If I think about it carefully, the events I experienced before were the same. The first time I faced Astarothie - well, the little girl was a cyborg, she couldn't suck blood, and it was Setsuka who took the initiative to donate blood. If I think about it carefully, according to the original plot, this might be the power that the heroine used to awaken the hero... After all, many Japanese anime use this routine.
The second time was with a certain unlucky terrorist, and the person I met at that time was Sayaka. Should it be considered a supporting actress plot?
Then there's Xia Yin... If you think about it carefully, the villain blonde on the deserted island is pretty, so according to the original plot, did the protagonist suck her blood to awaken the beast and then save Xia Yin? But I messed up the plot, and it turned out that Yukina and La Freya needed help?
This time it’s Yuuma who comes…oh.
Ellie felt that she had found her purpose.
After knowing what to do, Ai Li immediately let go of her inner struggle. It would be fine if Yuma just came to the festival to have fun, but if she wanted to do something, then don't blame Ai Li for just talking and not taking action.
After making the decision, Ai Li calmed down. After breakfast, she left home and went to the Cornerstone Gate to check out the situation there. Then... Ai Li was stopped by Asagi.
"Little Ellie, do you have time?"
"Light onion?"
Ai Li was not surprised to see her friend with dyed hair and dressed like a hot girl. Ai Li's computer skills were second only to Ai Li in the entire Genkami Island, so she was also responsible for assisting the artificial island management department in maintaining and monitoring the information of Genkami Island. Now that the festival was about to begin, she was also very busy - you could tell by the dark circles under her eyes.
"You should also have a good rest. The artificial island management company is using you like a mule."
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes and haggard face, Ai Li hurriedly bought her a bottle of coffee.
"It's called a part-time job, but no matter how much money you get, you still have to take care of your health. If something happens, it will be troublesome."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It would be great if you could come and help me, little Ellie."
Asagi took the milk with a smile and waved at Ai Li. She knew Ai Li's ability in computers, but Ai Li's main job was a magician, so it was impossible for her to work in the artificial island management company.
"I won't work for these damn capitalists... What do you want from me?"
"Um."
Hearing Ai Li's question, Asagi took a sip of milk and nodded.
"Actually, I have something I want your help with, little Ai Li..."
As she spoke, Asagi shyly took out her sketchbook.
"This is?"
"I haven't finished my previous art homework yet, and the teacher said that if I don't finish it, I will lose points..."
"What homework?"
"Sketch! So, little Ai Li, please help me. I don't have time to go back to school now, and I can't find anyone else..."
As he spoke, Asagi held Ai Li's hand and stared at her.
"OK?"
"All right."
For Ai Li, she had nothing to do today and didn't want to meet Yuma, so it would be nice to just kill time here with Asagi, so Ai Li nodded and agreed, and then followed Asagi to her room in the Cornerstone Gate. Then Asagi picked up the sketchbook with a smile and started drawing for Ai Li.
But then again...she has really changed a lot.
Sitting on the chair, holding her chin with both hands, looking at Asagi in front of her, Ai Li couldn't help but sigh. She still remembered the first time she saw Asagi, when Ai Li had just arrived at Genkami Island and was undergoing treatment and examination at the hospital. When she went out to buy drinks at night, she met Asagi sitting on the chair. At that time, the girl was not as fancy as she is now. On the contrary, she had black hair, pigtails, and glasses. She looked delicate and a bit rustic.
Did I talk too much at the beginning?
Looking at the beautifully dressed Aoi Asagi, who looked like a fashionable hottie, Ai Li also felt a little complicated. At that time, Asagi felt that she was too introverted and didn't fit in with the group, so she planned to become more lively and outgoing, so she asked Ai Li for advice. When Ai Li faced Asagi's question, the first person that came to her mind was none other than Hoshii Miki. In Ai Li's opinion, Miki Hoshii is the most outgoing, lively, likable, and popular person.
Of course, it would be better if she could change her habit of speaking without thinking.
It's just that Aiyu Asagi seems to have tried too hard and ended up looking like a hot girl - Hoshii Miki is just following a popular style, but she's not as hot as a hot girl. They both dye their hair and dress fancy, but they give people a different feeling... Well, anyway, after dressing up, Asagi's popularity in the class has indeed improved a lot, and she has a lot more friends, and she is no longer as introverted and taciturn as before.
All in all, everything is fine as the result is good.
While Ai Li was letting her thoughts run wild, Qian Cong was also drawing while staring at the girl in front of her. Under the light, you can clearly see that Ai Li's long white hair exudes a gentle aura, and her gem-like eyes are even more heart-moving - this reminds Qian Cong of the scene when she first saw Ai Li in the hospital. It was late at night, and the girl with white hair, red eyes and wearing a white hospital gown even made Qian Cong think she was a ghost...
Speaking of which, Ai Li is the first friend I made outside of Jishu.
But...are they really just friends?
Thinking of this, Asagi's heart suddenly started beating violently. She had always regarded Ai Li as her good friend, but after accidentally hearing the conversation between Ai Li and the transfer student in the corridor that day, Asagi felt that her mentality seemed to have changed.
Just like now, two people are in the same room. In the past, Qiancong would not have any special feeling, but this time, she found that her eyes involuntarily looked at the girl in front of her.
The white neck, delicate collarbone, and slightly upturned lips all made Lan Yu Asacong feel an impulse she had never felt before.
She licked her lips, then looked at Ellie and spoke mysteriously.
"That...little Ellie?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Asagi?"
"Do you remember the movie we watched together before?"
"Madam, how are you? Remember."
“Um…I…”
Facing Ai Li's puzzled look, Qian Cong laughed dryly and then spoke.
"I want to try to re-enact that scene... the one where the hero sketches the heroine in the room..."
“Ah, that…”
Hearing what Qiancong said, Ai Li also recalled it immediately. This movie was really too famous. Fang Zheng had watched it several times with many people in various worlds. Qiancong was talking about the scene where the male protagonist Jack was drawing a nude sketch of the female protagonist Ruth in the room... Well, think about it carefully, at that time Jack was a homeless guy, and Ruth was a woman with a fiancé.
Is this considered NTR?
It seems quite exciting when you think about it this way!
"So you want to learn from Jack too?"
"Of course, don't you think it's fun?"
At this point, Aiba Asagi felt like her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, as if she was doing something bad secretly. Ai Li thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, no problem."
