Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

"Since Lady Eliza doesn't need my help for now, I'll take my leave."

Svanni decisively turned around, leaving without a hint of reluctance... Taking two steps away, she added, "Don't worry, I'll come back once you've calmed down."

Bang!

"Don't come back!"

Eliza frenziedly banged her head against the coffin lid, loudly complaining, "You must never come back again!"

Stop tormenting me, I beg you.

"Hehe."

Accompanied by an indiscernible chuckle, Svanni's footsteps gradually faded away into the distance, and Eliza slowly calmed down.

"..."

And after finally confirming that the other party had indeed left, the Vampire took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

"Ha..."

Feeling the pressure on her body, aside from the pain and discomfort, there was actually a slight, unsettling comfort.

And this was not what troubled the young Vampire the most.

"Tsk... It's all because she said some nonsensical things, making me overthink here."

There were two reasons why Eliza had just driven Svanni away.

On one hand, it was because she didn't want to be hindered any further by her help.

On the other hand, it was due to confusion.

She was unsure of the feeling that surfaced in her heart.

For some reason, after Svanni uttered those words, besides the anger and embarrassment, there was an itchy sensation in her heart.

A peculiar feeling of having someone hit a nerve.

Is that right?

Is that truly what I think?

Could it be that, as that guy said... I'm actually unconsciously waiting for him like this?

She had never thought about such things before, but after Svanni's reminder, she realized how shameful her current position was.

Her upper body was stuck inside, and her lower body was outside.

This was practically like...

"No! I can't keep thinking about this!"

Suddenly, Eliza felt very helpless.

Yes, truly helpless.

This stance is really dangerous!

"Bu-but! If I don't let Herbert help me out, what should I do?"

"Asking him for help is fine, but what if he gets some other ideas!!?"

"Would he laugh at me? Would he..."

Eliza had never thought she would feel anxious over such a thing.

And what surprised her even more was that amidst her anxiety, she harbored other emotions.

It seemed, perhaps, almost felt like... secretly anticipating something.

The more she thought about it, the more her cheeks burned, even feeling her heart beat, a sensation she hadn't felt in a while.

"Ha, ha..."

She panted heavily, making the already scarce air in the coffin even thinner.

Although the Vampire Prince no longer needed to breathe, the suffocating sensation gave her a peculiar thrill.

No.

Something must be wrong here!

How could I be excited by such things?

"Could, could it be! That I'm truly a disgraceful woman?"

For a moment, Eliza suddenly recalled overhearing noblewomen's conversations at a ball when she was still human.

Those women hadn't noticed her passing by, continuing to discuss those filthy and blasphemous wild acts with excitement.

Back then, as a child, she couldn't understand what the stories were about or what positions they were describing.

But now, she suddenly recalled, and those memories became clearer!

"Ahhh! No, don't make me remember!"

She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake those distant memories out of her mind, but unexpectedly, the memories only grew clearer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"No, no, no, this is wrong! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Could it be that I'm really the masochist he mentioned before?"

"No!"

"I just thought the taste of Holy Blood was good... How could it be about liking pain?"

"No, that's not me!"

Eliza wasn't foolish.

She hadn't thought much before, completely immersed in the thrill brought by Holy Blood.

But now, regaining her senses... the more she thought about it, the stranger her previous behavior around Herbert seemed.

No.

That was extremely bizarre, ahhhh!

"Ahhhhh—"

She didn't dare think any further about what kind of image she presented in Herbert's eyes...

"Just what on earth is going on!!?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent banging reverberated continuously in the dark space, lingering in the air.

.

.

Far away in the Pure Land, Herbert was unaware of Eliza's troubles, otherwise, he would surely have a good laugh.

At last, you've realized, huh?

You masochistic, bottom-feeding Vampire!

What were you doing before?

When you first begged me for the Holy Blood, you had no way back!

He would definitely give Eliza another push, secretly fanning the flames to make her thoughts even more tangled.

Very unfortunately, Herbert was busy doing massive renovations in his happy new home, with no time to tease her.

Watching the foundation pillars filled with his blood being laid, as the dissipating fog and the nascent ground took form, Herbert also felt a bit sentimental.

"It really did take a lot of effort..."

Although many issues were unresolved, and it couldn't be considered completely safe, seeing it slowly transform, he felt somewhat excited.
